What is my kind, exactly?

video

[everydayhero]

Sissies.

video

[ishere]

Oh, boy. You are gonna regret that one when I'm on your ship.

video

[everydayhero]

I bet you're not even gonna remember.

video

[ishere]

Uh huh. First thing I'm doing when I get there is giving you a swirly.

video

[everydayhero]

Who says we're meeting in a bathroom?

video

[ishere]

Me, apparently.

video

[everydayhero]

Well, my alarm system is gonna tell me when you dock, so good luck sneaking up on me.

video

[ishere]

You're a third of my size. I don't need to sneak up on you.

video

[everydayhero]

[You have a point.]

Yeah, you probably couldn't even if you could sneak on board, anyway. I'd hear the wind whistling around your ears.

[ LOW BLOW, LITTLE BROTHER. tadashi stares at him in grim, contemplative silence for a beat. finally, he just deadpans: ]

I'm going to shave your eyebrows in your sleep.

video

[everydayhero]

You wouldn't dare.

video

[ishere]

There are only so many jokes about my ears my honor will allow me to take.

[everydayhero]

Look, one a day isn't that bad. You look in the mirror what, ten times more often than that?

video

[ishere]

Hey! [ HAHAHA good job hiro you've actually embarrassed him a little. ] I'm not that vain. Just because one of us has a sense of style...

video

[everydayhero]

Yeah, you're lookin' at him, Mr. Elbow Patches.

video

[ishere]

[ he's going to yawn RIGHT INTO THE CAMERA. ]

Keep telling yourself that. Night, brat.

video

[everydayhero]

Grooooss. I can practically smell your bad breath.

Night, Goliath.

video

[ishere]

Yeah, yeah.

And, hey- Hiro.

video

[everydayhero]

Yeah?

[He was about to go ahead and turn that off, too.]

video

[ishere]

Just a few more days, right? Pretty hard to sleep without the rhythmic sounds of you snoring and mumbling all night.

video

[everydayhero]

[He looks conflicted for a second, struggling between the intense need for his brother's companionship and the equally intense desire to hide that. But he settles on sighing, defeated.]

I know. I can make it. You're the one who has to be alone over there.

You'll be over here soon.

video

[ishere]

[ he shrugs one shoulder lightly, dismissively. ]

Nah. I'm not alone.

[ because of the communicator. at least he's not cut off from contact with people. ]

video

[everydayhero]

[It's not the same, he wants to say, but he knows Tadashi knows that. He's dismissing it because it's easier that way.

[Hiro, however, doesn't find it quite as easy right now. Maybe after he's gotten to see him again, it wouldn't be quite as hard to separate, but right now... Every time he wakes up, he's afraid Tadashi coming back is a dream.

[When he speaks again, it's quieter.]

... Can we keep the communicator on?

video

[ishere]

While we sleep?

[ it isn't a 'no.' he's just a little surprised by the request, trying to make sure that he's understanding it right. shouldn't hiro be rejoicing in the fact that he doesn't have to share sleeping quarters with his big brother for once in his life? ]
