Hey guys!

So I just recently started and finished Tiger & Bunny, and I have to say that Kotetsu and Barnaby are rather cute together. So this is my first shot at a T&B fanfiction. So just testing the waters here, so please be gentle with me. ^_^

Enjoy (and review, please)!

Everyone knew of Barnaby Brooks Jr. Or at least everyone of Sternbild City did. Tiger & Bunny had quickly became a phenomenon within the few years of their success as Heroes. Barnaby had dreamed of one day becoming someone to admire, but never before did he think that it would be at the side of another hero as a team.

"Ah, Bunnyyyy..." Whined Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, also known as the notorious "Wild Tiger" of Tiger & Bunny, "Crusher of Justice."

Yet somehow he had been grouped together with this idiot. Not only was he completely incompetent, but he was old and clumsy. Otherwise, the complete opposite of what he was. Every moment they were thrown into action, they walked out with some sort of damage fee that needed to be paid. That's just how Kotetsu was though, Barnaby had long since accepted his partner's ways.

But that was before "Wild Tiger" had retired, of course. Kotetsu's power had been declining, and though that hadn't stopped him before, he was lucky if he passed the ten second mark anymore. Eventually, he came to terms with the fact that it was officially time to retire. He, however, still remained Bunny and carried on the good name of their team.

"What is it, old man?" He replied to his creaky old friend, walking up and giving a firm jab of his foot into the man's side while firmly holding a cup of coffee in between his hands.

Kotetsu had dropped by for a visit, which wasn't too surprising. If he wasn't crashing with Barnaby, he was at home with ma, Kaede, and his brother. Kaede adored Barnaby and was the sole reason that she believed her father to be cool anymore. Other than that, he was just a couch potato like any other dad - or so she claimed. Barnaby, however, knew she secretly adored her father but was too bashful to admit it.

"Hugh! ... Bunny, be careful. I'm getting old, you're going to bruise a rib or something..." Kotetsu continued to whine like a child, rubbing the sore spot where Barnaby had poked him at.

One fine blonde eyebrow twitched ever so slightly at the upper left corner of Barnaby's infamous pretty boy face. "How many times have I told you not to call me Bunny? It's Barnaby!"

"'It's Buh-nah-bee~!" Kotetsu immaturely chorused in return, holding his darkly tanned hands to his head and making a gesture similar to a pair of rabbit's ears.

With a delicate sigh, the youngest man pinched the bridge of his nose. With a tilt of his wrist, he poured his coffee out and allowed it to fall directly onto the crotch of Kotetsu's pants with a soft hiss similar to that of a snake's. "Aren't the senile supposed to wise... or something?"

"GAH!" Flinging up in the air, Kotetsu pranced around and began smacking at his dampened crotch as if that would help. "Why would you do that? You could kill me! Hot! Ow, ow, ow, ow!"

It was the first amusing thing Tiger had done all morning, and thus received first a small smile from Barnaby before a soft and cheerful laugh. "You're really are just incompetent, old man. Anyway, if all you're going to do is mock me then leave. I have no time for your games today."

And with that, Barnaby began to turn only to be caught by the wrist. "Wait," it came out so firm and hard that it almost startled him. Kotetsu hardly used such a serious voice, and looking back at the expression upon his ex-teammate's face, he knew it was serious. "There's something I need your help with..."
