A/N ok so I'm going to jump ahead because I feel as if just writing about Tadashi going to therapy everyday would get boring so this chapter will start with them being told he can go home.
"Congratulations Mr. Hamada." The doctor said. Everyone began to cap their hands and cheer. Tadashi bowed his head and blushed.
"Thanks." He laughed. "I couldn't have gotten here if it wasn't for all you guys." The nurses and doctors who had been helping him along shook his hands.
"You ready to get home?" Aunt Cass asked smiling. Hiro stood beside her with the same expression on his face. Tadashi nodded his head and they walk down the hallway. Tadashi was happy that after a month and a half of intense physical therapy that he was just now getting to go home. His walking was still a little off but the doctors just said he would have to use a cane for support they also said that when he got home he might start to remember more due to the environment.
"We have a surprise for you at home." Hiro said as he jumped into the middle seat of the truck. Tadashi slowly sat down next to him resting the cane in between his knees.
"What type of surprise?" Tadashi asked.
"Can't tell you, you will just have to wait." Hiro gave Tadashi an evil smirk.
"Ok so tonight I was thinking for dinner to have hot wings, since Tadashi hasn't had my hot wings in a long time." She started the car and drove out of the parking lot. Tadashi rolled down the window and let the breeze run through his hair. The air smelt fresh unlike the air in the hospital, which smelt like hand sanitizer and anti-bacterial soap. He opened his eyes and watched as the houses passed by while trying to imagine what his house looked like. He thought about what his room looked like from what Hiro had been telling him of his interests. The room would be clean besides the piles of books on the floor, there would be papers in the basket from inventions he didn't fully like and other things he thought suited him scattered along the room. When they finally stopped it was in front of the lucky cat café. Hiro told him that they had lived above it but he didn't understand why they didn't just rent it out to someone else and got their own house. Aunt Cass got out of the car as fast as she could.
"Wait here." She said pointing to Tadashi as she ran to the door and unlocked it.
"What is she doing?" Tadashi asked Hiro and sat back in his seat.
"Getting ready." He chuckled. Tadashi looked back at the door and noticed a hand waving them to come in. They got out of the car and walked into the café. It was dark and no one could be seen.
"Where did she go?" Tadashi squinted his eyes. Hiro walked past his brother behind the counter.
"Hold on I'll get the lights." The lights flashed on and it took a moment before their eyes adjusted. Tadashi looked around the room noticing that there was no one in the store.
"So now what?" Tadashi asked looking to his brother.
"I guess we should go upstairs." Hiro shrugged his shoulders and walked through the hallway to the apartment stairs. The apartment above was dark and quiet also.
"Did she leave us?" Tadashi asked as he looked around trying to a make out the shapes of furniture and other objects. The lights flew on once again stealing Tadashi of his sight
"Surprise!" Tadashi's friend and Aunt Cass screamed as they jumped from behind the kitchen counter. Tadashi jumped back forgetting how his legs still aren't fully capable of holding him up and fell to the floor. They all began laughing; even Hiro was.
"Are you ok?" Hiro asked while helping his brother up.
"Yeah just nearly had a heart attack." His friends all surrounded him giving him hugs and pats on the back
"It's good to see you at eye level." Go-go commented.
"But now I'm taller then you." Tadashi smiled while looking down at the short Korean girl. Go-go's face flushed red.
"Whatever!" she turned and walked to the living room, taking a seat on the couch next to mochi.
"So what are you guys here for?"
"A welcome home party!" Fred shouted.
"Thanks you guys." Tadashi said while he looked around the apartment. He noticed that there were only two doors leading off from the living room besides the staircase for the café.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Cass asked after she noticed his gaze.
"Where's my room."
"Upstairs." She said pointing to a staircase behind him. ' How hadn't he noticed that when he walked up here?' he thought.
"Do you want to go see it?" Hiro asked as he jumped off his chair.
"Sure." Tadashi followed behind his brother up the stairs.
"It's basically how it was before." Hiro said as they turned the corner. Tadashi's jaw dropped when he saw how messy it was. The bed wasn't made and there was paper all over the place along with a few food wrappers.
"It's so messy." He gapped.
"Yeah, "Hiro chuckled. "Sorry about that." Hiro rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.
"Am I really this messy?" Hiro turned and looked to Tadashi in confusion. "What I was just asking." Hiro began to laugh.
"No I made all this."
"Why were you in my room?"
"We split the room." Hiro said pointing to the divider. Tadashi walked up to it and slid the divider over while looking inside to the small space. There was a neatly done bed a shelf as tall as him filled with books and a desk which was neatly cleaned and whipped down, Tadashi let out a sigh of relief and sat on the bed.
"You ok?"
"Yeah I was just scared that I made that mess."
"Ouch that hurts." Hiro chuckled and sat next to Tadashi. "Here" Tadashi looked over to Hiro and noticed the dark navy blue hate with the SFIT logo on top of it. It looked a little worn out and used.
"Are you giving me your hat?" Tadashi asked smiling goofily at Hiro.
"No I'm giving you your hat back." Hiro said emphasizing the 'your' and placed it into Tadashi's hands.
"Thanks I guess." He put it on his head and looked to Hiro. "How do I look?" he asked while wiggling his eyebrows.
"You look like my brother." Hiro chuckled. Tadashi smiled to Hiro and looked around his room some more.
"Why is it so small in here?"
"When we first moved in with Aunt Cass you insisted that I should have the bigger half."
"Makes sense then." Tadashi chuckled. They sat there for a few moments waiting for Tadashi to finish admiring his neat and nearly perfect room until thy heard Aunt Cass yelling for them to come back down.
"I thought you guys got locked in there." She chuckled as they walked to the stairs landing. "Come see the cake I made you." They both walked to the kitchen table. The cake was a teal blue-green and had white frosting around the border. In neat cursive letters on the top said 'welcome home Tadashi' with a few exclamation points on the end.
"Thanks Aunt Cass." Tadashi said and gave her a hug. She was caught slightly off guard since Tadashi was still not fully used to giving out hugs.
"Anytime Tadashi." He released her from the hug and looked at the cake.
"It's so perfect I don't have the heart to cut it." He chuckled.
"Women up Tadashi it's just a cake." Go-go said as she stomped her way to the group leaving mocha behind on the couch. "If you like it so much just take a picture."
"Good idea, go-go!" Honey lemon squealed and pulled out her phone. "Tadashi hold it up so I can get a picture of you with it." Tadashi gave her wary look.
"I don't really want to get my picture taken." He sighed.
"Why not?" honey lemon asked. Tadashi brought his hand up to his face and pointed to one of the scars.
"That's why." Honey lemon gulped and dropped her head.
"I'm sorry I didn't realize you wouldn't let me." She said and just took a picture of the cake.
"It's ok hopefully I will be able to feel comfortable again." He gave her a reassuring smile.
"Ok now time to cut this thing!" Fred yelled as he held a knife in his hand.
"Careful with that you could trip and land on it or something." Wasabi barked as he backed away from Fred.
"Trust me I wouldn't do that." Fred twirled the knife in his hand teasing his OCD friend. Go-go grabbed Fred's arm and snatched the knife away.
"I'll do it!" she said and began to cut up the cake. She placed the slices on separate plates while Hiro handed them out to each person.
"Wow go-go you cut them so perfectly!" wasabi exclaimed as he examined the edges. She put her hands on her hips and grinned proudly.
"Well of course." She said. Tadashi laughed at the Korean girls behavior and began to eat the cake. The rest of the day was filled with the group telling Tadashi about how they took down the professor with their awesome suits Hiro had helped them build and some exaggeration from Fred. They also bragged to Tadashi about how awesome Hiro was in class. Tadashi was proud of his brother's accomplishments but also frustrated with how reckless he became with out him around. It was like this for a few hours until around nine when honey lemon had to leave after that they all slowly started to take their leaves. Hiro sat in his chair writing up a paper for school when Tadashi slowly walked up the stairs.
"Hey Hiro?" Tadashi said as he reached the last step. Hiro turned in his chair and looked to see if Tadashi needed any help.
"Yeah?"
"Do you still bot-fight?" Tadashi's face went stern and serious.
"No not anymore since I thought you had died." Hiro said depressed.
"Good." Tadashi let out a sigh.
"I didn't think you remembered that." Hiro chuckled. "I was kind of hoping that you wouldn't have."
"Yeah well I'm glad I did. Now I know you better by remembering things like that." Tadashi walked over to his half and sat on the bed.
"Have you been remembering anything else?" Hiro asked curiously.
"Not really. It's kind of strange."
"How so?"
"Well I kind of thought I would remember nearly everything by this time."
"It will get better for now just relax." Hiro saved his work and turned off the computer. "We should get to bed we have a big day tomorrow." Hiro took off his shoes and threw them across the room.
"Why what's tomorrow?"
"I was planning on showing you the lab."
"Ok sounds good I guess you didn't mess it up did you?"
"What do you mean?" Hiro asked pretending to act shocked.
"Did you mess up my lab or is it the same?"
"Well it looks a little different but not that much I guess."
"Eh doesn't even matter since I don't go there anymore." Tadashi let out a long depressing sigh. The room grew silent and the two boys sat in their beds staring into space before either of them said anything.
"Hey Tadashi?" Hiro began. If the room hadn't been so quiet he wouldn't have heard Hiro.
"Yeah what's wrong?"
"I don't know what's wrong with me but." He stopped. "I hear some one calling me."
"Like on the phone?" Tadashi said looking around for Hiro's phone. "I'll help you find it." He climbed off his bed and walked around the room searching.
"No not on the phone but randomly I'll hear someone call out my name."
"Who is it?" Tadashi sat down next to his brother.
"I have no idea but I'm getting scared."
"Did you have Baymax scan you?"
"Yeah but he says he cant detect anything serious."
"That's weird when does it happen?"
"Well sometimes when I'm alone it will randomly happen."
"What does the voice sound like?"
"I cant tell it sounds like a lady at some points but other times it sounds like a man." Tadashi looked at the floor and tried to think of what could be wrong with his brother.
"Have you been sleeping any better?" Tadashi asked since that was the only thing he could think of for a logical reason.
"I have been trying but I can't really get that whole sleeping thing down right." Hiro chuckled.
"Well let's get to bed early tonight and from now on and see how it goes." Tadashi suggested.
"Ok." Hiro crawled underneath his covers and lay down. " You can go back to your side of the room now you know?" Hiro said while poking Tadashi in the back with his toes.
"I know I was just thinking sorry." Tadashi laughed and walked to his bed. "Goodnight bone head."
"Night nerd." Hiro laughed.
"What are you talking about you're a bigger nerd then me."
"No way!"
"Yup you're the one still going to nerd school." Tadashi teased.
"Well if it wasn't for the fire so would you. Now go to sleep." Hiro barked and rolled on his side covering himself up to his chin. Tadashi laughed at how childish Hiro still was and went to bed himself.
Ok I am so sorry if this chapter is a whole bunch of rambling since it was to me but if it wasn't to you guys then I hope you enjoyed. I'm also sorry for the long wait being a junior in high school having to worry about ACT is not fun. Until next time (^ v ^)/
