Tiger and Bunny

[(Anonymous)]

I hope I'm doing this right... 8D

I'm from the Tiger and Bunny Livejournal Community and my username there is lksugui.

I'd like a Kotetsu x Barnaby drabble, please. Prompt is ¨Japanese Christmas¨ (I guess you probably know it but just in case, in Japan, Christmas is considered more a romantic holiday than a family holiday. So, when you invite someone to spend Christmas with you it means a)you are declaring your love or b)you want your existing relationship to be more ¨serious¨).

Thanks in advance =D

of old traditions (kotetsu/barnaby)

It was two days before Christmas Eve, and Barnaby was going to spend his holidays alone, like he had for the past twenty years. For the first time in twenty years, though, he felt alone.

Really, truly alone.

Kotetsu had retired, gone back home to be with his family, without any of them saying anything to each other that could somehow address their growing feelings for one another. Such an idiot he was, letting him go without telling him, without at least trying to tell him. He had so many chances, on the ride to the station...

And now he was alone all over again, with less than what he had before.

He'd make it, he was sure. He'd get through this Christmas like he had all the others: ignoring it (and the ache in his chest) to the best of his ability.

He punched in the key code to his flat, readjusted his bag, went inside--

--and tripped over a stray bottle of beer, apparently from the day when his partner had been released from the hospital.

The contents of his bag went flying, spilling out on the floor.

He muttered a curse as he staggered to his feet, then bent down to pick up the various items that had gone all over the place when he noticed a piece of paper that he was sure he hadn't placed in his bag.

He picked it up, unfolded it, and couldn't help but smile when he read its contents.

"Bunny,

When I was younger, I used to hear about this old tradition where people would invite people they liked over to spend Christmas at their place so they could tell them they loved them. And...well, over the past few weeks I've started to realize that I really like you.

So, let's spend Christmas together!

- Kotetsu"

There was a rather childish drawing of a tiger next to his name.

Barnaby set down the note, then checked his watch.

He had thirty minutes to get on the next train to Oriental Town.
