"You've reached the comms device of Megaman.EXE. I'm not available at the moment, so please leave a message and I will respond as soon as I am able! Thank you!"
[And it'll be a heck of a chat for these two, when it does happen. If Hiro thought Megaman reacted weird this time...]
Looks like it.
[It's a really strange feeling, realizing that. Not a bad feeling, but...he'd never imagined he'd find himself thinking of someone else as a little brother. Especially not someone who's technically older than he is.
He leans into Hiro, settling his chin on his shoulder and gently wrapping his arms around him. ...and then he lets out the most obviously theatrical sigh ever made by a tiny child. (intentionally, since this one has audio which means he had to pick it)]
Just what I needed, another baby brother. As if one isn't enough of a hassle.
Well, I can't drop Lan and I can't shake you. Guess I'm stuck.
[He can't help smiling. He's...almost painfully happy that Hiro's okay with this, given what happened before. He's not going to give him a reason to think he's just a replacement ever again.]
Tadashi deserved to know about me because I already knew about him. He deserved to know that there was at least one person who understands what it's like. He deserved it because he understands.
So no, you didn't deserve it, because things aren't always about you.
[ Hiro flinches at that. He gets that Megaman can tell - or not tell - whoever he damn well chooses. But for Megaman to tell his brother and not him, no matter what the circumstances... It stings his pride no matter what he says. ]

He leans back gladly, just holding him close. ]
Too bad. No choice in the matter.

That includes not calling telling Tadashi "cheating."

[If Hiro doesn't expect Megaman to keep Tadashi in the dumb-things-little-bro-is-up-to loop, he's got another thing coming.
...oh. Oh, he should. Probably tell Hiro that Tadashi knows about him. Aaaaa, but what if Hiro gets mad...?]
no subject
Yeah, yeah ... Bet you don't talk to him as much as you do me, though.
no subject
[So awkward. So uncomfortable. Help how does he this discussion.]
no subject
I won't tell him either.
no subject
He, uh. He already knows.
no subject
... really? You told him?

[ He seems a little put out but not angry. Annoyed, at worst. ]
no subject
Tadashi's different. He deserved to know.
no subject
And what, I didn't?

Fine, whatever. Do what you want, I guess.
