Part XIII: Happy Ending Part II.5 (Tadashi's side of the story)

He used his hands to pull his damp hair back, away from his face. He tightened the towel around his torso and stared into the mirror.

Today is the day...

He relaxed his arms and hands on the sides of the sink.

Was she-- no, he ready for this...

Water droplets from his hair, drip on to his smooth, but naked chest.

Could he do it...

His shivering feet curled against the bathroom mat.

He had to...

He had rehearsed this so many times in his head. It sounded perfect in his mind, but through his mouth, would it?

Tell her the truth...

He ran his hand through his wet hair again. The droplets splashing onto the bathroom floor and dropping on to his broad shoulders. He used his other hand, reaching for his face moisturizer. He dried his hands on the towel around his waistband squeezed the liquid from the tub on to his palm of his hand. He then applied it on to his checks, forehead, and chin, the moisture cooling his warm face from the steam still circling the room from his hot shower he took not so long ago.

He could only try...

"Tadashi! Can't you finish that in your nerd lab?" Hiro whined from his side of the room.

"I promise I'm almost done. I just have a few wires that I need to--"

FZZT!

"Ow!" Tadashi through the tweezers on to his desk top and held his hand.

"Not again." Hiro groaned, rubbing his forehead. This was the fourth tempt to try to piece the device together, but something the collaborations kept sparking, causing the device's wires to burn out.

"On second thought I think I'm just going to go to bed now." Tadashi sighed, feeling defeated. From his brother tone, Hiro knew his brother was feeling hopeless. Tadashi had been planning all this for _________. A friend, and somewhat a big sister figure to him. Tadashi ever since he learned ________ would never gain movement or feeling in her legs ever again, was determined to do everything in his power to bring them back. So he created the device to do that, to help her walk, bend her knees, run, bend down, skip, jump, stretch, and move.

"Tomorrow, try connecting the wire in between the two generators instead of on top. Might keep them moving." Hiro suggested, he knew how much this project meant to his brother, how much _________. Meant to him.

"Thanks, I'll try tomorrow."

Tadashi's fingers took hold of the box, it was something that he had pushed to the back of his head since the accident.

He wanted to fulfill a promise.

And a wish.

Tadashi stuck the box into his sweater pocket and hurried down the stairs into the kitchen, pulling out a seat beside his brother.

"Pancakes, all right Tadashi? Hiro can you grab the orange juice?" Aunt Cass requested, mixing a bowl of pancake batter.

"Sure." Tadashi answered, he got out of seat to set the table. Placing three place mats, with napkins on top. He reached over Aunt Cass to grab glades for the orange juice. After shutting the cabinet he leaned to kiss Aunt Cass on the cheek.

"Well your in a good mood, visiting ________ today?" She beamed, pouring the batter on to the pan.

"Yeah, I have a huge surprise for her."

"Oooh what's that?" Aunt Cass asked. Hiro began pouring juice into the glasses.

"I'm going to tell her what happened to her, about the accident. Who she was before." Cass pauses what she was doing, still clutching her spatula.

"Is _______ really ready for all that?" Aunt Cass worried, Hiro stayed quiet.

"I hope so. I was also going to bring those devices I've been working on for her to try. I hope she likes them." Aunt Cass turns off the stove before approaching Tadashi, holding his shoulders.

"__________ will love them. She loves you so much already!"

"How do you know she doesn't remember what her life was like before the incident."

"She wouldn't be waiting for you."
