Are there any Kotetsu/Barnaby or general T&B discord servers?

Chapters: 11/14 Fandom: Tiger & Bunny Rating: Explicit Relationships: Barnaby Brooks Jr./Kaburagi T. Kotetsu | Bunny/Wild Tiger, Kaburagi Kotetsu/Kaburagi Tomoe Summary:

The city was complicated and dangerous, everything shrouded in facades, and maybe it was no wonder someone like Barnaby who'd never known anywhere else would be so reluctant to trust anyone. Still Kotetsu could imagine nothing lonelier than the childhood he'd spent in a safer and simpler place.

In which Kotetsu has slightly unresolved issues and his relationship with Barnaby changes everything over the course of a few years.

Note:  Odds=Kotetsu's POV and Evens=Barnaby's POV

1.         “80’s Through the 50’s” by Jeff Rosenstock

It got chilly this Saturday

And with my hands in my pockets I walked around in circles like

“Oh no, I’m totally fucked.” It’s one thing to grow old, but I’m collecting dust

‘Cause nobody needs me

Nobody needs me

Nobody needs me the way that I need you

2.        “The Fear of Being Found” by Blaqk Audio

Could I change one thing?

Could I change your mind?

Shall we burn it, just like the last time?

I can’t change a thing

Can’t explain why I never felt it

Not even the first time

3.       “No Good Al Joad” by Hop Along

You are my favorite, because you’re a long shot

You are my enemy, because you forgot

Generous people they fill me with doubt

But that’s something I’d rather not talk about

4.       “It Had to Be You” by Motion City Soundtrack

But if it was you

You that I needed all along

I felt like a fool

Thinking we were completely wrong

5.        “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” by Elvis Presley

Like the river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

6.        “Come Home” by Good Luck

I’m not sure this is who I am

But I’ve been testing the water and I’m ready to try it again

7.        “My Boyfriend’s Back” by the Angels

He’s been go for such a long time

Now he’s back and things will be fine

You’re gonna be sorry you were ever born

 ‘Cause he’s kinda big and he’s awful strong

8.        “The Promise” by New Found Glory (cover)

I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right things to say

I know they don’t sound the way I plan them to be

And if I had to walk the world to make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you I will

9.        “Let Me Sing You a Song” by the Wild

Let me love you when I can

Let me love you when I can

Let me love you when I can so I don’t need a plan

Just let me love you when I can

10.    “Horchata” by Vampire Weekend

Here comes the feeling you thought you’ve forgotten

Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

Oh you had it but oh no you lost it

You understood so you shouldn’t have fought it

11.    “Barnacles” by Laura Stevenson & the Cans

Scrape these barnacles I am utterly yours

Take my lack of control and swallow it whole

12.    “I Don’t Wanna Die” by Jeff Rosenstock (cover)

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

I wanna hold you ‘til you break

Daycation, Tiger & Bunny (Kotetsu/Barnaby)

So Caroline (hatterandahare) requested a fic utilizing the "day at the beach" trope featuring Kotetsu, Barnaby, and Kaede.  I hope it's enjoyable :)  I'm going to put it up on AO3, as well, but I figured I'd make this easy for Caroline to access, and anyone on Tumblr that would like to check it out!

            Barnaby had one memory about the beach.

              It was from back when he was at the Hero Academy.  He was somehow convinced by his classmates that it would be a great time. 

              He spent the entire car ride back from the beach attempting to adjust himself without irritating his sun burn.  Apparently, no one felt the need to wake him up while he was napping in the sun.

              But when Lloyds demanded that the duo took a day off (not because of Kotetsu’s power lowering to fifty-two seconds, no, not at all), he didn’t argue when the beach was proposed, nor did he disagree when Kotetsu promptly invited Kaede. 

              The next day, Barnaby found himself sitting in Kotetsu’s old clunker of a minivan with Kaede in the backseat, banging her hands on her knees as she listened to music too-loud on her ear phones.  He winced every time Kotetsu attempted to carry out a conversation with her, which always resulted in her responding with ten second delays due to her pausing her music, taking out her earphones, and asking him to repeat the question.

              They entered the town the beach was located in and Barnaby propped his arm on the door and leaned into it, reading signs.  Everything had a seaside motif—hotels were named after starfish and diners were named after sand dollars.  Signs had shells and ocean waves framing them. 

              “Hey, Bunny?” Kotetsu asked, waving his hand.

              Barnaby tilted his head toward him.

              “Grab the bag right behind your chair.  I got sunscreen in there for you.”

              Barnaby raised his eyebrows.  “I didn’t even ask…” he started, until he smiled.  “…of course.”  He grabbed the bag from behind his seat and found a bottle.

              “Kaede told me this kind won’t make your skin as greasy,” Kotetsu added.

              Barnaby craned his neck to see Kaede still tapping away to her music.  He assumed the excursion resulted in many dramatic sighs and eyerolls on Kaede’s part. 

              The closer they got to the shoreline and were welcomed to slow traffic.  Kotetsu responded with hand gestures, Barnaby reacted with putting his hand instinctively on the wheel, and Kaede finally stopped listening to her music to keep trying to tell her father to calm down.  They found a spot in the parking lot, unloaded the trunk, and made their way to the beach.

              “Where should we go?” Kotetsu asked, scanning shoreline.

              “Don’t ask me,” Barnaby muttered.

              “Let’s get as close to the water as possible!” Kaede exclaimed.  She adjusted the bag on her shoulder and brought her chair closer to her as she marched into the throng of umbrellas.

              “Kaede, wait up!” Kotetsu yelped, trailing behind her.

              Barnaby made sure that all the pieces of their umbrella set were together and sprinted his way over to them.

              They ended up in a pretty decent spot, not too far from the ocean.  Kotetsu attempted to dig a deep enough hole for the umbrella stands with his hands as Kaede pushed his hands aside to scoop it out with a plastic shovel.  When Barnaby asked to help, they told him to sit down and enjoy himself.

              He got about a paragraph into a book before Kotetsu nearly crashed into other visitors, because a gust caught on the umbrella when he opened it.  He quickly caught him, smiled at the women that was nearly maimed, and finished setting up the umbrellas himself.

              “I’m going to go into the water, is that okay?” Kaede asked, taking off her shirt and shorts.

              “I should probably watch you,” Kotetsu told her.

              “Dad.  I’m eleven years old now.  I can go to the water by myself.  Right, Barnaby?”

              Barnaby cringed.  “I mean, sure, I think you’ll be fine…”

              Kaede grinned and marched toward the ocean.

              Barnaby returned to his chair and Kotetsu opened his own right next to him.  Kotetsu slumped dramatically on the chair and brushed his hand against Barnaby’s.  Barnaby grabbed his hand and gripped it.  Kotetsu never felt entirely comfortable touching him in front of Kaede.  It wasn’t that he was hiding it from her.  Kotetsu decided to announce the relationship to her by taking them out to dinner and dramatically announcing that she was going to be seeing Barnaby a lot more from now on.  Maybe he was trying to respect the fact that her celebrity crush was dating her dad.  Barnaby couldn’t be entirely sure.

              “You having a good day off?” Kotetsu asked.

              “It’s just started,” Barnaby replied, “Give me an hour or two, please.”

              Kotetsu smiled and turned to the ocean, trying to scope Kaede out.

              “Will you relax?” he asked, “Kaede is going to be fine.  Pretty sure she knows how to swim.”

              “Is it sad that I don’t entirely know if she does?”  A broken chuckle escaped his mouth.  He quickly tilted his head away from Barnaby to wipe the corner of his eye.

              Barnaby quickly looked down at his toes, attempting to dig a small hole in front of his chair.  “You’re still catching up on a lot of time.  Don’t beat yourself up over it, please.” 

              Kotetsu finally turned to him again.  “Yeah, that’s right!  That’s why I gotta make sure I take advantage of every day off to spend time with her!”

              Barnaby narrowed his eyes.  “Please spare a few days for me, too…” he mumbled.  He finally let go of his hand and continued to read his book.

              After about half an hour, Kaede returned.  Her hair was matted from sea water and her wet ankles had a fine dusting of sand.  She tapped Kotetsu’s shoulder and woke him up. Apparently, he started to nap while Barnaby was caught up in his book.

              “Oh, what’s going on, Kaede?” he asked.

              “Can I go to the boardwalk?” she said.

              “Sure!  We can put our stuff back in the car…”

              “You don’t have to!”  She launched toward her father and pressed her hands on his shoulders to keep him in his seat.  “I mean, I want to go with someone.”

              Barnaby finally closed his book and craned his neck to listen.

              “Did you bump into someone from school?” Kotetsu asked.

              Kaede pulled back, nervously tangling her fingers together.  “No, actually… he’s a boy I was talking to when I was in the water.”  She began to twist her entire body, her cheeks turning red.

              “You can go,” Barnaby said.

              “Wait, Bunny, hang on!” Kotetsu yelped, “Can we at least meet him first?”

              “Yes, we should.  But if he seems nice, I don’t see why not.”  He felt the “we” echo through his ears.  He typically allowed Kotetsu to be the parent.  He wouldn’t even know where to begin attempting to discipline a preteen.  When did he consider himself and Kotetsu a unit in any part of Kaede’s life?  He cleared his throat and began to bury his feet as far as he could into the sand.

              “Please, Dad?” Kaede asked.

              “I mean…” Kotetsu sighed dramatically.  “…sure.  Yeah.  That sounds right.  Bring him over!  Let Papa and Bunny be the judge of this guy!”

              Kaede faced Barnaby and mouthed thank you before she dashed back to the ocean to collect her friend.  A few seconds later she returned with a boy following behind her.  He attempted to push back his moppy brown hair as Kaede waved her hand at him.  “Dad, Barnaby, this is Bryce.  Bryce, this is my dad and… his partner.  Barnaby.” 

              Bryce nearly did a double take looking at the two of them.  He appeared pretty aware of their identities as Wild Tiger and Barnaby Brooks Jr, but he didn’t seem willing to announce it.  “Uh, hello,” he mumbled.

              “He’s the same age as me,” she explained, “He’s got a summer home here with his family, so he knows the area pretty well.  I’ll make sure to have my cell phone with me at all times.  Can we go, please?”

              Kotetsu pressed his lips together and appeared as if he was searching for a reason to say no.  Eventually, he said, “Okay.  Just… please keep me updated?  Or keep Bunny updated.  And please be back by three or four, we have a pretty long drive!”

              “Have a great time,” Barnaby added.

              Kaede grinned.  She put her shorts back on, gave her father a huge hug, then gave Barnaby one as well.  “Thank you!” she exclaimed as she lead Bryce into the crowd.

              “Was that the right thing to do?” Kotetsu asked.

              Barnaby wanted to respond with “How should I know?” but instead he said, “Yeah.  That was the right thing to do.”

              Kotetsu grabbed Barnaby’s hand and brought it to his lips.  He jokingly kissed it and said, “Want to go spy on them?”

              Barnaby pulled his hand back and cringed at him.  “Don’t even think about it,” he said flatly, leaning back on his chair and covering his eyes with his book.

Kotetsu/Barnaby

Who does the laundry and other chores: Whenever it gets so bad that it needs to be done, Kotetsu is usually the one to do it. Grudgingly. He tries to teach Bunny how to do them, but Bunny is not good at laundry.

How many children do they have: Just Kaede.

Who’s more dominant: Neither is really more dominant than the other. I don't... really get this one?

Favorite nonsexual activity: Helping people and being a hero. Or just spending time together.

Their favorite place to be together: They don't really have one, generally wherever the other is is where they're happy to be. But they like spending time with Kaede and doing things with her.

Any traditions?: Making good memories for Bunny.

Their “song”: ... I feel guilty to say that I haven't really thought about this. Oops.

What they do for each other on holidays: Spend time with Kotetsu's family and visit Bunny's parents' graves. But mostly, they try to focus on the good things and spending time with each other and their family. And making good memories together.

Where did they go for their honeymoon: Somewhere nice and quiet and peaceful.

Where did they first meet: Bunny saved Kotetsu with a princess carry before he could plummet to his death or terrible injury. The rest is history.

Any pets: No, they're a little too busy for pets.

What do they fight over: Almost everything, but particular mention to Kotetsu's tendency to try and hide important things that he really shouldn't and Bunny's tendency to sometimes be an asshole instead of talking things out. They're working on it.

Do they go on vacations, if so where: Kotetsu actually has to be forced to take vacations by their boss; Bunny is not really any different. Then they wind up going on some pretty interesting adventures because the vacations aren't planned by them. But, when given the choice, they spend it with Kaede.

OTP Quiz

Five ships you’re into right now 01. Steve/Tony 02. Thor/Bruce 03. Kotetsu/Barnaby 04. Kirk/Spock 05. Shizuo/Izaya Three ships you liked, but don’t anymore. 06. Edward/Jacob 07. Yami Yugi/Yugi 08. Harry/Hermione Three ships you never liked. 10. Tony/Pepper 11. Tony/Bruce 12. Harry/Ginny Two ships you’re curious about, but don’t actually ship. 13. Yuri/Keith 14. Ivan/Antonio QUESTIONS 1. Why do you dislike #11 so much? I don't dislike it; I just don't see it would be a more accurate description of how I feel towards it. They're great as bros, but I just don't see them together romantically, mostly because I, personally, feel that Bruce is something of a doormat. 2. Who is someone you know that ships #14? No one. The only people I've seen shipping it have been online and even then... 3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? What? Like how they admit their feelings for each other? Probably after Bunny has, yet again, saved Kotetsu with a princess carry. And on live TV. Kotetsu is flattered but also not impressed by the publicity. 4. Which is your favorite moment for couple #1? When Steve goes and tries to comfort Tony in the Avengers along with that handshake at the end. That's just for the movies though. If I go into detail about the comics, we'd be here for a while but... Steve riding in to rescue a naked Tony ranks up there pretty high. Also their flirting. 5. How long have you been following couple #5? Since I first started watching the show a little over two years ago, I think. I dunno, I just have a thing for that sort of relationship. Great chance for some hot hate-sex. 6. What’s the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? The militant Harmionians kind of turned me off, to be honest. That and the fact that I started reading Harry/Draco shortly thereafter and I thought it was amazing. Harry/Hermione was one of my first ships when I first started reading fanfiction (about eight years ago) and I guess I sort of just drifted away from it; that's not unusual for me. 7. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12. Twelve. There's good reason why because it just felt so poorly developed and came out of left-field. No offense to Harry/Ginny fans, but I was not taken with the way that JK chose to develop it. 8. Which ship do you prefer, #2 or #4? Hnnngh. Thor/Bruce wins out only because I'm shipping it hard right now because I have all of the Avengers feels. God damn it. But Kirk/Spock will always be perfect because god, just look at them! 9. What interests you about #14? The contrasts between them. 10. Why did you stop liking #7? ... I started shipping Yami Yugi (Atem) with Yusei. And I haven't looked back since. 11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the fandom? There is no nine. 12. What’s a song that reminds you of #5? Uhhh... I haven't really thought about it; there are a bunch of songs I could suggest, but none of them are coming to me off the top of my head. 13. If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be? Any of them! But, oh god, I'd love to see either Thor/Bruce or Steve/Tony on a double-date with Kotetsu/Barnaby. 14. Have #2 kissed yet? Sadly, no. ): 15. Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn’t ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? Kind of but not really and unlikely – although that does really depend on if we're talking about the reboot or the original series, in either case not really. 16. What would make you start shipping #13? A really, really good fanfic. Anyone got any recommendations? 17. If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 or #5? Two! Two! Two! 18. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? They break up mostly amicably and remain friends. :) Because Pepper is a bad-ass and very awesome lady. 19. Which of these ships do you love the most? ALL OF THEM. ALL OF THE FEELS.
