Right after he left the room Hiro went strait down to the garage. Not wanting got be around Tadashi or Aunt Cass but also hating the idea of being outside.

He felt suffocated and panicked. His breaths were coming out in short gasps. But once he calmed down to a certain point he felt ashamed.

But he couldn't place why. He knew logically what happened was Tadashi's fault. Tadashi was the one who...who did that to him. But it felt wrong to blame him. Hiro didn't like the idea of Tadashi being the fault of somethiing so awful.

And it was Hiro who went close to him when Tadashi was drunk and not in a clear mindset. Hiro was the one who should have known not to get close to someone, anyone like that. Including Tadashi.

'You shouldn't have to worry about Tadashi causing harm to you'

The thought shoved its way into Hiro's mind. And he shoved it right back out.

It would be wrong for Hiro to play the victim. Hiro was just as much at fault for what happened as Tadashi.

If maybe he had just did something different. If he had just stayed away from Tadashi, ignored him. Then the whole thing wouldn't have even started.

But Hiro always knew that he could never ignore Tadashi when he was asking for help. Even if the thing he was asking was silly and nonsense.

'It didn't turn out to be silly nonsense though.'

Hiro gasped at his own bitter thought but brushed it away like he did the last.

Thinking of more ways how the whole thing was just his fault.

Even if Hiro knew he couldn't have actually ignored Tadashi there was others ways he could have prevented what had happened.

He could have asked Wasabi to stay behind to help. Maybe could have invited the whole gang to stay over because he knew that Wasabi had to take care of them as well. And at least then he would have had Wasabi near and sober to protect him.

'Why would you even need protection by wasabi?'

Hiro winced when he realized that he implied he needed protection from Tadashi.

That was a horrible thought to have. Tadashi was never the kind of person to cause harm to anyone. Expecially Hiro. He protected Hiro when no one else did.

So Hiro hated himself that he even thought of needing protection for him.

He didn't need protection from Tadashi.

What had happened was as accident really. He could get over it. Tadashi didn't mean to do, um...do that to to Hiro. And it was over.

'Why can't you admit what he did to you.'

Hiro didn't listen to his own thought and continued a thinking path another way.

Hiro could forget about it because he was really the only one who knew, remembered it actually happening.

And if he forgot about it, it would be like it never happened.

Tadashi wouldn't know and Hiro could move on with his life.

Hiro can go back upstairs and act like nothing ever happened. Last night was just a bad, horrible, frighting nightmare.

Hiro can go upstairs and see Tadashi and Aunt Cass without doing anything weird.

Because nothing was weird. Today is just another regular day.

'Then why is your stomach twisting and your hands shaking.'

Hiro acted like he didn't even hear his own thought before leaving the garage.


Okay so it's short. Like really short. I'm sorry. I tried to write this many times but I wasn't feeling well. I was going to make this chapter longer but decided you all deserved something. Thank you all for the reviews it really did help knowing all of you liked this.

You may have also noticed my random change in writing. Another reason it was hard to continue this.
