#robo-obake has gray hairs

Happy Valentine's and Ash Wednesday! Been sorting through my fics to see which one is the next closest to hitting the next hundred mark, and while I have been working on a couple of mer AUs the winner here is Tekko Obake:

So, real talk, Tadashi had concerns about Hiro. Okay wait that wasn’t really news he always had concerns about Hiro he was his brother and that came with the territory.  Hiro graduating at thirteen and then dedicating his life to causing problems on purpose just ramped that concern up to eleven. Granted he really shouldn’t be concerned, Hiro was buckling down on his big plan to get into SFIT, a rendered-down version of Megabot he was calling microbots, the concept was really cool…it was just that they were a family with middle-class means at best, and some of the stuff Hiro was producing to help with the making of the microbots weren’t exactly within their price range. Which meant Hiro was up to something. Hence why he was tailing his brother on his so-called quest to get a soda, there were sodas at the café and he didn’t doubt that Hiro was heading to Good Luck Alley to get himself more funds for his supplies.  Granted, he didn’t see Megabot…did feel his radar ping when Hiro was joined by a tall skinny guy with slicked-back hair and a dapper look.  Okay this could possibly be worse. Took literally everything he had not to run up to Hiro and yank him back, forced himself to keep tailing, ready to grab Hiro the moment something looked like it was going to go south— Was definitely going to go south, Hiro and the guy had just entered a warehouse that he knew had illegal good traded in.  Listen in at the door, could hear three people talking, probably doing the deal…. Hauled the door open and pointed at Hiro when he heard only two voices.  “You.  You are a dead man.” “Seriously?” Hiro demanded—looked at the skinny guy, indicated Tadashi.  “I told you he has me microchipped!” Skinny guy looked Hiro over, unimpressed.  “Not saying that’s not a good idea, but—” “No buts,” Tadashi said, waving the guy off as he powered for Hiro.  “You—I am so telling Aunt Cass about this you thought when you lost your phone was a doozy—” “Okay wait that was his fault,” Hiro said, pointing at the guy. “Your speed in throwing me under the bus is duly noted,” the guy said.

There's some convolutions in explaining but the gist is Hiro fixed up Robo-Obake and Shenanigans ensued.
