Heroes, We Must Be

A/N: 4 OCT 2017 THIS CHAPTER IS NEW.

Barnaby held it away from him, slurping with gusto. "I didn't say I wouldn't eat it," he chuckled, watching the elder fume.

"Why you-"

"It's cute watching you stress," the blond quipped, leaving the elder slack-jawed with an empty bowl in front of him.
