[He watches Hiro for a solid minute, waiting for the punchline or the "just kidding", but it doesn't come. A chance to really make what he wants to do, and a place to show it off, just him, and show his brother what he can really do. He looks back at his notes, considering.]

... You really think I could do it?

[microbrobotics]

[ There's no teasing here. Hiro wouldn't kid him about this anyway. ]

You're my little brother, aren't you?

[tadeadshi]

...Yeah.

[He nods, smile growing bigger.]

Yeah! I'll do it, I want to try!

[microbrobotics]

Then try. I'll get you all the tools you need.

[ Now he's getting excited. ]

I bet Callaghan'll approve of you officially if explain what's up. He's the one who sponsored me in the first place.

[Did Hiro want a hug? Too bad if he didn't, he's getting the most excitable tiny Tadashi hug. Better than he could've hoped for, he just wanted to put together a bot, he hadn't even considered showcasing it to get into school with his brother.]

You're awesome! It might take a while to do, but I'll definitely do it.

[microbrobotics]

[ Oh. Okay, yes hugs. Hugs are good. He leans down after a moment to hug his brother back - he's never been real good at physical affection. ]

Yeah? Better prove it then. We can start tonight.

[tadeadshi]

[Heeeee's got the best bro in the world. Fact checked and everything. This totally makes up for Hiro being gone for a month.]

Yeah-- Definitely! After we eat. You've been eating right?

[microbrobotics]

... Uh ...

[ He has to think. ]

Yesterday? Definitely yesterday.

[tadeadshi]

Hiro.

[Whoops lil bro's face stiffens into the worst Oh my god you are the dumbest smart person I've ever known face.]

I'm making Aunt Cass make us dinner.

[microbrobotics]

[ Yeah okay he's more used to seeing that face. He does brighten though. ]

Think we can convince her to make hot wings?

[tadeadshi]

Maybe... I think she'd make then if we tell her what we're planning.

[microbrobotics]

We could get extra to take with us.

[tadeadshi]

Yes!

[Okay so that was a little too excitable but he's grinning and wanting so badly to go to his brother's lab and work! And see what he's been working on!]

If I ask really nicely she'll have to make some for us to take!

[microbrobotics]

[ Gosh. How is his brother so cute. He grins a little in return, his brother's enthusiasm kind of infecting him too. ]

C'mon, pipsqueak. Race you up the stairs.
