Turning Red Hcs - Tumblr Posts

Turning Red headcanon of when you (Mei's older brother age 17) end up having to go to the girls toilet to coax your stubborn sister out of there in school after she failed to come out from there hours ago (Mum basically told you to pick her up today because she was busy). You were understandably embarrassed because it is the girls toilet and you would rather not get beaten up by a bunch of angry girls. (You were aware of Chinese tradition of pandas and you didn't realise that Mei had it until now). Something wasn't right with your sister and you knew it because since when she became a red panda. You stayed calm for her sake and said that no one else in the bathroom and she can come out of there. Mei had a bit of a go at you at first because you were in the girls toilets and you would be seen as a pervert (she was still in her panda form). You told her that it wasn't an excuse to hide in the girls toilet for hours and make you worry about her because you don't want mom to give you an earful for being late home. You asked what was really going on recently because it was making you worry about her..

Mei's reaction too...you were listening and you promised not to judge or criticise her in any way and you said that you will listen. *cue her telling you her worries and then you basically told her that she is still your younger sister and nothing is going to change that...and all that stuff*

Being Mei's older brother headcanons:

You knew Mei was going through a huge change

Literally

Mom was the one who typically dealt with this kind of thing, but she had a few crucial errands to run and simply didn't have time to pick up Mei from school

So, being the big brother you were you offered to pick her up, no biggie right? Wrong

You had waited nearly 20 minutes for Mei and she still hadn't made her way to the car yet, so you had no choice but to go in and track her down

Luckily, you ran into Miriam, Priya, and Abby who had tried to get Mei out of her hiding place in the bathroom but failed so you had to go get her yourself

No matter how uncomfortable you were in the girls' bathroom you knew your sister mattered more

Mei was upset over something embarrassing that had happened during the day and was crying

It took a bit of convincing and arguing

Mei didn't want to come out and have you see her as a panda and she didn't want to have to explain why she was so upset, she just wanted to deal with it on her own! She had too many frustrations and didn't want to confront them

Eventually, you get the hint that something big is bothering her besides the red panda thing and tell Mei that no matter what it is, she can tell you about it

After a moment Mei comes out of the stall and you greet her with a tight hug, explaining that you are just worried about her and that if she needs to talk you're there

She feels much better after the hug and is back to her normal self

"Alright, Mei, I gotta take you home now before Mom flips because we're late."
