[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.
[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.
[ 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? ]
[if he's gonna be forced to share sleeping quarters anyway one of the people he's sharing with damn well better be the one who knows exactly how he sounds when he's having a nightmare.]
... Yeah?
[He kind of winces--this is obviously a little hard to ask.]
[ it's a little awkward, sure - where is he supposed to put the communicator? he doesn't want to roll over onto it and give hiro a video full of smushed face and drool, after all. but Something Is Up, and it's Something Hiro Won't Talk About Yettm, so tadashi just cuts hiro off after his wince. ]
Yeah. It can get pretty creepy here at night. That'd help a lot.
[And he shifts where he sits, which, lookie there, is actually on the bed for once instead of hi pulling an all-nighter on a project. He lays down and bundles up, and props the communicator up on an extra pillow from one of the empty beds.]
[totally. all for you. if i wake up in the middle of the night from a fiery explosion dream you're gonna be right there and that is not what this is for.
[and you are totally not going to have the same problem and be thankful for this.]

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

[When he speaks again, it's quieter.]
... Can we keep the communicator on?
