How to Help
Kotetsu's POV
I'm so bored! Why does Bunny have to had the week off? Oh yeah, because he's been ill for about a month. My poor Bunny. I sighed looking at the paperwork on my desk, fortunately I've already done half of it but I can't begin to think about doing the rest. I grinned reaching for my phone before feeling a slap on my head. "No contact!" I know that voice. I looked up with a pout hoping to be let off. "Barnaby needs to rest."
Emilia laughed as she continued to Barnaby's desk and started to clear some of it. "What are you doing?" I asked leaning over. "Isn't that his fan letters?"
"Oh yes." Emilia said packing them into a box. "I'm trying to organise the desk for his return. However Kotetsu we still need our chat."
I sighed slamming my head on the table. There's nothing wrong with my health, why should I have to worry about things. "I thought you were here for Bunny's health."
"I'm here for all the heroes," Emilia said sitting on the desk. "Don't moan it's just routine. We don't want people to end up in a spiralling depression because they can't talk to others about their issues. I can give you my case studies to look over as proof of my work."
"No more reading, you know I struggle," I moaned looking her in her eyes though her ruby red glasses. "I want Bunny!"
"Stupid old man," I heard her whisper as she began to walk away. "Just think, when was the last time Bunny had time on his own to reflect his life? You can help him by letting him rest. ALONE!"
I waited until she left the room and kicked my desk. Who does she think she is telling me I can't call my lover? Huh. You know I haven't said that yet. My lover. I looked down at my left hand noticing my wedding ring. Tomoe, what do you think of me right now? Are you mad that I'm with Bunny? Are you happy I've found someone new to love? "You Okay Kotetsu?" I heard Ben ask coming from behind.
"Oh hey Ben," I sighed crossing my arms. "Just a bit pissed because apparently I'm not allowed to contact Bunny because it's bad for his health."
Ben sighed as he pulled up Bunny's chair next to mine. "She doesn't mean it in a bad way," he said placing a hand on my shoulder. "Think about the last time Bunny did something for himself. His health is important too, remember when he joined the second league heroes with you?"
Shit! He has a point. Bunny did that for me and Bunny always makes time for Kaede when she's here too. Ah! Now I see what she means. Bunny is a caring person and needs a break. Guess I can help by leaving him alone for a while. Ben laughed patting my shoulder and leaving me to my thoughts. Maybe I should do something for Bunny, I could take him for dinner? I could buy dinner in, take him to a movie. I should really do something, we've been dating for a while now.
Right, I'll make some phone calls.

Barnaby's POV
Wednesday morning, I'm officially halfway through my vacation. I haven't heard a peep off Kotetsu, surprising seeing as how he wanted to mother me the other week. I smiled as he sat on the sofa with my coffee, it feels nice to take it easy on the morning. It's only 9:30 so I can do what I want. Possibly go swimming, although the chilly weather makes it awkward, I could do some clothes shopping. All these options and all I'd want to do with Kotetsu. Perhaps we should plan a date when he's off work.
Bzzzzz.
I looked up and notice my intercom going off. I walked over, placing my coffee on the table before heading over. "Kotetsu?" I saw he big cheeky face with bags next to him. I immediately buzzed him in and went to the kitchen to prepare him a drink. What's he doing here?
"Hey Bunny," I heard his usual cheerful self.
"Morning Old man," I called back. I finished making his milky coffee, how ever someone can have this mug milk is beyond me. "Here you -"
I stopped mid sentence, on my newly brought dining table was a gourmet breakfast for two. It looked delicious. I walked over to Kotetsu who had a proud smirk. "I thought I'd do something for you for a change," he said kissing my lips. He took the coffee from my, placing it on the table. "Now how about we eat before it gets cold."
I felt my heart skip a beat as he held the chair for me. I really think I might be in love with this silly old man.
