Tadashi's POV

He sighed softly to himself as he looked through his papers. Each document held the approval on Baymax's launching in a few days' time. It was a crucial time for Tadashi. This was one of his biggest and most successful inventions. A tiny smile etched on his lips when he realised that this was going to help a lot of people. Looking at his study desk in his room, his eyes landed on his family photo framed neatly and placed near his books.

Picking the photo frame, he looked closer to his mother and father. They were smiling and they had looked so happy. There, in between them two, was Tadashi-barely six years old at that time. He wondered for a moment what they would say if they were still alive at the moment. But he couldn't because he barely could remember how they even sounded.

His heart clutched tight at that thought, realising that day by day, he was slowly forgetting his parents. It scared him from the core, wondering if one day he would wake up and realise that he had gotten used to the thought that he had no parents from the beginning. Sighing again, his mind reeled to Hiro.

He closed his eyes momentarily when he recalled at how Hiro's parents died. It was tragic and traumatic. How could a child so young had gone through so much and still managed to live each day without breaking down? The vacant look on the younger genius made Tadashi forgo his own pains just to aid him. The thought that he wasn't alone in this made him feel slightly better.

Hiro-Hiro Hamada. Tadashi didn't know when his rivalry had begun revolving into something deeper but when it did, it was too late for Tadashi to forget them. It was embedded deep inside of his heart and it wouldn't let his heart go. The first time he realised he liked Hiro more than what it seemed was during last year's National Young Scientist Awards.

He had just looked at Hiro that night who was sitting across him and suddenly, he felt warm and fuzzy inside. It took him three hours of uncomfortable heart beats and muddled up brain to realise that he was in it too hard and deep. And then, it took him a week of isolation from Hiro to finally understand that maybe, this feeling wasn't so bad.

He didn't know why he started liking Hiro at first but when he came in terms with his feelings, he started noticing the younger genius's quirks and details. Like how when he faked his smile, the corners of his lips would twitch so subtly or like how if Hiro hated someone, he would glare holes in that person until the said person felt like he had died. Tadashi was mostly that said person who received those glares from the very beginning even though he never understood why.

Somehow, the younger genius got into his heart deep and woven himself around his logic that Tadashi felt less stable sometimes. And then, before he knew it, he was trying really hard to make Hiro notice him and not hate him. He wanted the young genius to just look at him and not flash hatred or anger for whatever reasons that Tadashi had no idea of.

It all boiled down into frustration about a week ago or so when he accidentally spilled his feelings for the boy. Awkward silence ensued before Tadashi decided that if he needed Hiro to look at him, he had to start by making a grand declaration and thus-a seduction plan was made. But after that, when he was in his own apartment without anybody looking at him or observing him, he felt his heart pick up speed and his face reddening.

His mind was screaming at him for making such a haste move. Before he knew it, he had slumped to the ground, his back to the door and wondered out loud just what in the world did he get himself into.

The seduction plan, which he had no prior experience of, was quite innocent and not that grand gestured. Sure, he gave Hiro a present or a gift once a day but they weren't big and they weren't that personal. And yet, the look of surprise or better yet, the look of contentment on Hiro's face whenever he received them made Tadashi's day.
