[ there's nothing dismissive about tadashi's tone. he isn't even pretending, now - instead, he's just sitting down on the bed so he can make the hug a little less awkward. ]
[and when he does that, hiro just presses his face into his shoulder because he's not sure if the waterworks are gonna stop. he's keeping them under wraps pretty well, though.]
Not just the baby of the family. A big baby in general.
[ tadashi sighs, tucking his chin on the top of hiro's head. he's trying to inject some playfulness into this, making as if he's attempting to smother hiro as he does. ]
You know... I would love to work on something like that with you.
[his grip tightens.]
Wouldn't be the same, though. I don't think you get what you did, Tadashi. Baymax is... incredible. He learned language, could take subtle hints... he's amazing.
[ okay, so, tadashi might sound a little awed here. not necessarily at himself: maybe he put the programming together, but it still had to carry its own weight. maybe he's just marveling at the fact that something like that is possible at all.
or possibly he's just relieved beyond words at the realization that he left something behind for hiro to care about - and to care for hiro. ]

I mean it, Hiro. Maybe you drive me a little crazy sometimes, but I wouldn't change anything about you. You get that? Nothing.
no subject
Not even the cheese pillow?
no subject
Nothing, Hiro.

... I'm sorry I wasted all that time back home.
no subject
You didn't waste time. You're allowed to be a kid, Hiro.

[he's trying to laugh because maybe he won't cry if he does. it's only half-working.]
no subject
[ yeah it's okay hiro. tadashi will just kind of hold you until you're ok again. :( ]
no subject
[this laugh is a little more genuine. he's trying to rush and pull himself together as fast as he can here.]
no subject
[ and tadashi will just kind of fall quiet then, because this is the first time that it's really occurred to him: he's never going to see her again. ]
no subject
... You know, she and I started cooking together. She let me use the knives and everything.
[he's probably not going to be the first one to pull away here, either, for the record.]
no subject
[ tadashi had been ready to let go, but, uh, he's going to need another second here. ]
No one likes a liar, Hiro.
no subject
It's true. With Baymax active around the house, I guess she's a little less worried about screwing up emergency first-aid.
[he's no replacement for you, tadashi, but he certainly isn't hurting the healing process.]
I guess I'm lucky I'm the baby of the family. I get spoiled.

Glad I brought that robot home.
no subject
I'm not a big baby, you giant nerd.
... and I'm glad, too. I miss him.
no subject
[ itt: tadashi has no idea that his own robot turned out pretty much sapient. ]

no subject
So... what you're saying is that I'm a way better programmer than you ever gave me credit for being?
[ he blows a little puff of air into hiro's hair. ]
no subject
Your robot buckled my seatbelt for me once. He literally got distracted chasing a butterfly, too. Your robot came to life, big brother.
[so yes]

And they made me a nurse here? Seriously?
no subject
[hiro might be ready to let go. but not until he gives one more squeeze in this hug.]
I'm in good hands. Here and home.
