[the ship docks, and hiro just kind of... looks over at tadashi. he doesn't say anything just yet; his reaction might be a little subdued if tadashi is paying attention to that. he knows tadashi knows. any fear on his face isn't from being found out. it's from what might happen otherwise.]
[ yeah, he can definitely tell that hiro's a little subdued there, but he's going to try to push past it. it's okay, little brother: maybe it wasn't when he first heard about it, but it is now, and that's exactly why he waited to mention it. ]
You seriously need to work on that competitive streak you have going with me, you know. I like robotics, suddenly you're a robotics prodigy. I build a nurse bot to help people, you decide to be a superhero... I'm gonna get a complex, squirt.
[ yeowch. yes, actually, yes he can. tadashi will just sort of fall silent until they're out of the shuttle, because it's his plan to just toss hiro over his shoulder when they're actually back on their feet. ]
[he tries to talk but ends up just kind of making annoyed and frustrated grunting noises every time he bounces against tadashi's back. this is ridiculous. put me down this instant.]

[he almost sounds defensive, but it's not quite that. there's conflict in his voice.]
... I just thought it was time for me to use that big brain of mine for something good.
[he gives a little half-smile.]
no subject
[ he reaches to squeeze his shoulder, because he's trying his best to be as reassuring as he can be. ]
... you don't have to apologize to me for being a hero.
no subject
I don't want to apologize for what I do. Hiding it, maybe... but I'm helping people.
