Big Hero 6 x Reader One Shots

(102): Scared

Young Tadashi x Reader as requested by AnyaRadulov. The two of you are like, 8 in this. Enjoy.  Happy Birthday, AnyaRadulov! ^-^

You were staying the night with your best friend, Tadashi. He had just moved in with his Aunt Cass a couple of weeks before after losing his parents. Tadashi needed some cheering up, so you decided to stay. After a night of videogames, movies, and building toy robots, the two of you fall asleep on his bed.

Sometime during the night, you're nightmare starts. You don't quite understand it; it's just a mix up of all of your worst fears. It doesn't stop. You can't get away from them. You start crying.

Tadashi opens his eyes. "Hm? What?" He mumbles. He leans over you. You're curled around your stuffed animal, sobbing into the soft fur. "___?" Tadashi shakes your shoulder gently.

You wake up. "W-what?" You grumble. You turn around on your back and look up at Tadashi.

"You were crying," Tadashi tells you.

"Huh? Oh. I had a nightmare. I-It was bad."

"D'you wanna talk about it?" Tadashi asks. You shake your head. "Well-- d'you wanna talk at all?"

You pout. "I wanna go home."

"No you don't!" He whispers loudly.

"Yes. I do." You start crying again.

"Don't cry!" Tadashi begins to panic. He wasn't sure what to do. He began to think of what his own mother would do when he had a nightmare. She would wrap her arms around him and sing quietly in his ear. Brush his hair back. Tell him quiet jokes or short stories of brilliant and brave scientists. Comfort him.

Tadashi lays down beside you and drapes his arm over your stomach, dragging you against him. You grab his t shirt and hold on to him. Tadashi strokes your hair. "You will be alright," He whispers. He pats your head. "There, there."

You giggle. Tadashi smiles. "Thanks, 'Dashi." You hug him.

"Mmhm," Tadashi yawns. Just before you fall asleep, he says, "I know what you mean."

"'Bout what?" You mumble.

"Wanting to go home," He says. "I miss my mom and dad. I miss home."

You hug him tighter. "You have Hiro still. And Aunt Cass. And me. Don't be sad, 'Dashi."

"I'm not sad when you're here," He clarifies. "D'you have to go home tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"I wanted you to stay over again."

"We can always build a robot of me in the mornin'. My mom and dad can have that instead of me. Then we can play all day!"

"Good idea!" Tadashi whispers. "Should we get started?"

"Hm. . . I'm tired, 'Dashi."

"Right. Night, ___."

"Night, 'Dashi."

Tadashi leans over and kisses your cheek, just like his mother used to do before he went to bed.
