Chapter Title: In Which There Is a Catch
Fandom: Tiger & Bunny
Pairing: Barnaby/Kotetsu
Rating: T
Word Count: 3548
Excerpt: "This is very concerning," Lord Bunny said from several feet below.
Kotetsu stood up on his tiptoes on the scaffolding so he could put the next brick into place. "It'll be fine. I've done this before."
Granted, the last time he'd done this, he hadn't been quite so far up, but that was a minor detail. Bunny had been making a very concerned frown from the moment Kotetsu had climbed up on the scaffolding to continue laying the bricks.
They'd fallen into more of a routine as the days went on. Six days a week they worked on the wing, and on the seventh they took a break. Antonio had started coming over only in the afternoons so he could do his work at the forge in the mornings—people had been getting antsy about their blacksmith being gone for most of the day. Kotetsu did have to take a couple of mornings each week to see to his own farm, but with his mother managing most things on that front, he had more time to devote to Apollon Manor's north wing.
And it was coming along very nicely, if he did say so himself. Somewhat slower going on the outside with the brick laying, but when he walked through the interior now, he could actually see the layout of the rooms and where things were going to go. It wasn't going to be exactly like it had been twenty years ago, but it would be pretty close.
He hoped Bunny liked it, once they were through.
"You're getting very close to the edge, Mr. Kaburagi," Bunny said, his voice taking on that stiff and formal tone.
That particular tone, Kotestu had learned over the past several weeks, meant that Lord Bunny was trying very hard not to show some kind of emotion, so he fell hard into stiff politeness. He grinned to himself. "Are you worried about me, Lord Bunny?"
"If you break your neck, I'm the one who's going to have to clean it up. I'd rather not."
