(Fic request) fic were a thirteen year old Tadashi makes a new friend who appears to be like the greatest friend of all time. They do everything together from playing video games, watch movies and all that fun stuff friends do. But then Tadashi's new friend starts to show his/her true colours when they make fun of Hiro. (I hope this is okay!)
Tadashi had always been the more social one between him and Hiro. People seemed to gravitate more towards the elder Hamada. He was well spoken and kind. It was no surprise to Hiro that other people enjoyed his brother’s company.
So, it wasn’t shocking to Hiro that Tadashi had friends either. Throughout all their years of school thus far, Tadashi had made his fair share of friends. Some of which he parted ways with due to lack of common interest or attending different middle schools, but that didn’t stop him from meeting new people.
Hiro was almost envious of his sibling’s ability to make friends with ease. He was lucky to maintain a single conversation with someone without getting teased. A friendship seemed like a surreal concept to the young boy. Any attempt he could make to befriend someone was extremely difficult. If Hiro ever dared to start a conversation, it would usually end with him being laughed at, told to scram or just be simply ignored. Sadly, he was used to this behavior from his older peers. He wish he could have questioned how good Tadashi was at obtaining friends, but in his eyes, there was an even bigger question. Who wouldn’t want to be friends with Tadashi?
Okay, maybe some people chose not to be around him. Mainly it was only because of his relation to Hiro, but Tadashi never took that personally. If someone didn’t want to hang out with him over a matter as ridiculous as that, Tadashi figured it was best not to waste his time with them anyway.
Although Tadashi had good friendships throughout his years of school, he had never considered any of them to be a best friend. With the exception of Hiro of course. His algebra neighbor, Nolan however, seemed to change that.
The two were paired up to do an in-class assignment and instantly became friends. They had gone from classmates that only sat next to each other to friends that nearly got in trouble on a daily basis for talking during class. After learning about their shared interests in movies, shows and video games, they began hanging out after school. Once a week had quickly turned into every other day. On school nights, they studied together while spending their time on weekends to play games or watch a movie.
It wasn’t long before Tadashi had truly considered Nolan to be his best friend. They had hung out a lot together in a matter of months. Nolan seemed to get Tadashi in a way that no other friend previous or current had before. He never seemed bothered by the fact that Tadashi lived in his aunt’s cafe or had a genius for a brother. He saw Tadashi for who he was as a person and never took that for granted. They enjoyed spending time together. Finally, Tadashi had a friend that he felt like he could share personal stories with or work on robotics projects with.
Of course, Nolan was far from being some replacement to Hiro. Tadashi would never abandon his younger sibling by any means. It was just a nice change of pace to have a friend he felt so close to. Besides, Hiro didn’t mind Nolan being around at all. He thought he was cool…even if he hadn’t talked to him before.
With it being a Friday night, there was no surprise that they would be hanging out. Tadashi had made plans for Nolan to spend the night and watch a movie. Nolan was bringing the movie and Tadashi took care of all the snacks. Well, Hiro and Cass helped him get popcorn, soda and candy set up, but Tadashi didn’t mind.
When everyone heard a sudden knock at the door, Cass ushered down the stairs to let Nolan inside. Meanwhile, Tadashi was waiting in the living room, excitement surging through his body. Hiro had never seen his brother so ecstatic over something.
A grin turned into a full blown out smile as Nolan reached the living room. “Hey, man,” Nolan greeted.
The friends did a quick fist bump, a normal gesture they would do upon meeting up. “Hey, you bring the movie?” Tadashi asked, just now noticing that Nolan had it hidden behind his back.
“You know it. Got it right here,” he stated, showing off the DVD case. It was then that Nolan looked down, seeing that Hiro was still standing around. It was unlike Hiro to be downstairs when he was over. Nolan glared at the younger Hamada, confused and, quite frankly, and little annoyed by his presence. “Uh…why is he here?”
Tadashi raised a brow at his friend’s tone. Rather than question it, he decided to brush it off. “Hiro? He was helping me set up the snacks.” Tadashi looked down at his brother with pride, smiling seeing how happy he was to help with movie preparations.
“Yeah!” Hiro squealed. “Maybe I could watch the movie too?” He asked in a shy, yet polite voice.
It didn’t take Hiro more than two seconds to realize that Nolan didn’t think that was a good idea. His body tensed as his eyes clearly rolled. A heavy sigh followed after and Nolan handed the DVD to Tadashi. “I don’t think your brother should watch this movie. It’s PG-13. Not for little kids,” he spoke with a hint of anger growing on his tongue.
Tadashi didn’t want to admit it, but he had never seen this side of Nolan before. The humorous, laid-back person he knew was far from being anything of the sorts. If Tadashi was being honest, it was worrisome. “Uh…,” Tadashi was at a loss of words, yet he did have to agree with Nolan on this matter. Hiro was far too young to be watching a movie like this. “Hiro I uh…don’t think this is your kind of movie, buddy.” He placed a sympathetic hand on his shoulder.
“Aw, c’mon,” Hiro whined, though more in a playful manner than anything. “I’ve heard all the bad words before!”
Nolan gritted his teeth, not having any of what Hiro was doing. With clenched fists and tight muscles, his patience had finally boiled over. “Look, kid,” he started, the volume of his voice enough to make Hiro shrink into himself. “This is not for people your age! Now beat it so your brother and I can enjoy this movie in peace!”
Visibly shaking, Hiro stood in place unable to move. Tadashi examined him, noticing that his sibling’s eyes began to glisten. As Hiro finally gained enough physical strength to run up the stairs, Tadashi couldn’t help, but witness how pleased Nolan was by this reaction. Tadashi had become so concerned for Hiro’s well being, that he didn’t register how furious he was at his friend. His best friend had the nerve to snap at Hiro…and for no reason whatsoever. A mixture of confusion and hurt blended into Tadashi’s evident anger.
“What was that all about?” He snapped, crossing his arms at Nolan. “I-I…I thought you liked Hiro.”
Tadashi was hopeful that this was some misunderstanding. Perhaps Nolan was having a bad day and took it out on Hiro without meaning to. Maybe the situation could get cleared up somehow. Though, due to Nolan’s obnoxious scoff, an easy solution was looking thinner by the second.
“Dude, no offense, but no one likes Hiro.” He paused to laugh. “I know he’s your brother, but–”
“But what?” Tadashi cut him off. “Give me one good reason not to like Hiro!”
“He’s a total loser!”
Tadashi was shocked to say the least. Everything that he thought he knew about Nolan felt like some big lie. This whole time his best friend despised Hiro like everyone else. And the worst part was his hurtful, pathetic reasoning. It made a knot in Tadashi’s stomach churn. He was sick of Hiro being bullied. Sick of everyone thinking his genius little brother was some joke. Sick of people disliking him because of his intelligence. Disliking him of his age.
And Nolan had been amongst them all?
“Hiro is NOT a loser!” Tadashi yelled, the knuckles of his fists turning white. “And since you feel that way about him, I think you need to take your movie and go!”
“H-hey, whoa! I still wanna hang out with you–”
“Well I don’t! Why would I want a friend that doesn’t treat my brother with respect?! Get out!”
In an instant, Nolan yanked the DVD out of Tadashi’s hand, making his way to the staircase. “Fine! I’m outta here! Sheesh, I guess both of you are losers,” Nolan muttered as he stomped down the stairs.
Tadashi pinched the bridge of his nose, shaking his head in an attempt to rid the remainder of his anger. A heavy sigh escaped from his nostrils. Yet, despite losing someone who he considered a close friend, he strangely felt alright. The last thing he would want is to have a friend around who didn’t have any respect for Hiro.
Hiro…
The memory of Hiro rushing up the stairs at Nolan’s cruel attitude had Tadashi bolting up the stairs. He called out Hiro’s name as he skipped steps on his way up. The sudden sight of his little brother curled up in his bed tugged at his heartstrings. Why did people have to be so rude to him?
Tadashi took a seat on Hiro’s bed, placing a gentle hand on his back. He took note of the dry tears stained on Hiro’s cheeks, but to his relief, he had managed to stop crying. The hand Tadashi had on his back moved up to the back of Hiro’s head. “You okay, buddy?” Tadashi asked, ruffling Hiro’s hair slowly.
Hiro responded with a nod. He peeked over his shoulder, seeing Tadashi smiling down on him. “W-where’s Nolan?”
“Kicked him out,” Tadashi whispered, a proud smile forming.
“What? But he’s your best friend.”
“Was,” Tadashi corrected. “Not anymore. Anyone that’s mean to you is no friend of mine.”
Hiro smiled in return, now sitting up as he started to feel better. “Really?”
“Really.” Tadashi confirmed, wiping the dry tear stains away with his thumb. “Besides, you’re my best friend anyway.
This had earned a giggle out of Hiro which Tadashi was thrilled to hear. Hiro being upset had never been fun for Tadashi to see, so getting him to laugh again was always a success.
“Alright, so there’s a bunch of snacks downstairs that shouldn’t go to waste. Wanna watch a movie with me?”
Tadashi and Hiro ended up having a movie night of their own that evening.
I had a lot of fun writing this! I definitely think it’s possible that Tadashi had friends that ended up disliking Hiro. And of course I can’t help myself with adding a little fluff *shrugs* I hope you enjoyed reading this, thank you for the request @xdarkxenergy :D
Hey everyone! Anyone looking for a good fanfic series for BH6 to read? May I suggest checking out The ELEMENT Project and its equally great sequel Behind Blue Eyes. This is written by my homie, @xdarkxenergy, please check it out!
So glad you listened to AURORA, Cigarettes After Sex, Dorothy and Barns Courtney. Dorothy isn't exactly for everyone, especially with the type of music the band does, but singers like Barns Courtney and AURORA can be listened to by anyone who likes music with a good story behind it :)
Thank you for all the recommendations! Barns Courtney was definitely my favorite of the ones you recommended (with AURORA being a close second). I’ll be listening to both their music :D
