Not Possible
It shouldn't have been possible...
This wasn't possible!
Tadashi took the risk thinking- no, KNOWING that he wouldn't fail! He made the calculations! He looked through every possible contingency! THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!!!
Yet in front of him was Fred with a smug look on his face. Between the two of them was a Connect Four board with four red checkers connected diagonally.
Tadashi lost Connect Four.
To Fred. To his boyfriend...
He was a goddamn robotics major. He lost to an English major.... This outcome would have been more understandable if they were playing Scrabble, but this was no Scrabble....
This was FUCKING CONNECT FOUR!!!
All Tadashi felt was shame and despair.
He didn't notice Wasabi screaming as a result of losing a bet....
He didn't notice Hiro gesturing wildly to Fred as a result of winning a bet....
He didn't notice Gogo beatboxing Fred a victory song, nor did he notice Honey Lemon crying tears of joy....
Tadashi slumped forward and hit his head on the table. He didn't blink. He didn't move. He didn't say anything, but his mouth was wide open in shock.
Tadashi lost Connect Four to Fred.
