Tiger & Bunny Fic - Home Is Where the Heart Is, Chapter Ten
Chapter Title: In Which There Is a Realization
Fandom: Tiger & Bunny
Pairing: Barnaby/Kotetsu
Rating: T
Word Count: 4561
Excerpt: Lord Bunny rested for all of two days before he was back to help with the construction on the north wing. Kotetsu was surprised he'd lasted that long. Personally, he'd never really been one to sit still unless he couldn't physically move, something which had gotten him in trouble more times than he could count.
Even though it was expected, his heart still gave a funny little pang whenever he arrived at Apollon Manor and didn't see Bunny out among the workers. Kotetsu hadn't realized how used he'd gotten to working with him until he wasn't there anymore. It was disappointing to be working by himself.
Well, not by himself, obviously; Antonio and Keith were still there, and Ivan and Pao-lin came out regularly. Plus, as they'd gotten further along with the project, more people showed up every day to help out as they could. But Kotetsu had been working mostly with Bunny since they'd started this project, and, well, they made a pretty good team.
So on the third day, when Kotetsu made his way up to the north wing—nearly half-bricked now, and the inside was moving even more quickly—and saw Bunny sitting outside in his work boots, hair tied up as it usually was, he couldn't stop the grin from spreading over his face.
He picked up his pace. "Bunny!"
Bunny stood up. "You're late."
Kotetsu balked. "I am not! I got here at the same time I did yesterday!"
Bunny dusted off his pants. "Then clearly you've been slacking while I've been resting."
Kotetsu opened his mouth to argue again when he spotted the faint smile on Bunny's face and the way his green eyes danced a little. He was teasing.
Kotetsu's heart did something twisty at that.
