Waking up with a small yawn, Barnaby rubbed his bleary eyes, taking a moment to glance at the digital clock beside his bed and recognize that it was too early for him to be up on a day off. Resolving to return back to his peaceful slumber, the blond rolled over and snuggled into the broad chest of his lover, inhaling Kotetsu's wondrous scent. There was always something about his partner's scent that drove him crazy yet relaxed him all the same. Kotetsu had once caught Barnaby snuggling with his old jacket, nose deep within the collar and looking more content than he had seen him. After laughing at Barnaby's embarrassment and pink cheeks at having been caught and shrugging off the "Shut up, old man", the veteran hero had asked him what was so enticing about his smell.
Truthfully, even Barnaby wasn't sure what it was about Kotetsu's scent that he loved. It wasn't particularly strong and didn't seem to affect anyone but him, yet it was enchanting to Barnaby, like a rare and exotic perfume that was made specifically for him. At times like now, on this cold, lazy morning, it was warm and comforting, lulling him back to sleep easily. Or like last night, when close to Kotetsu, both of them panting and sweating, his scent had wrapped around him, exciting him and enticing him to take the man's body for his own.
Taking a deep breath, Barnaby smiled lightly as he felt arms wrap around him and a deep, sleep ridden voice whispered "Good morning, bunny."
"It's too early for good morning…" Barnaby mumbled, listening to the rumble of Kotetsu's laughter in his chest.
"I guess it is…a little bit more sleep wouldn't hurt." Pressing a soft kiss to Barnaby's head, Kotetsu waited for his lover to fall back asleep before gently removing himself from underneath Barnaby, grabbing his shirt from last night and it on the pillow before placing it under Barnaby's arms, smiling as the blond buried his nose in it and inhaled. "I have my own brand of bunny attractant." Chuckling at his own joke, the man put on his pair of boxers from the floor and silently crept out the room to prepare a surprise breakfast for his sleeping lover.
A/N: So my first Tiger and Bunny fanfiction. I feel happy with myself. It's nothing really exciting, just Barnaby loving the smell of Kotetsu. I thought it was cute and a simple start to one of my favorite ships. I really can't believe it's been about two years or longer since I've last written a fanfiction. It feels pretty good to be doing it again. =u= So, as I used to always say, read and comment. Comments fuel the imagination. Ciao~
