Chapter 1- First Impressions
Being a superhero on the slump of your “heroic” career was never an easy thing. That was something Kaburagi Kotetsu knew all too well. He knew that he was rash in his way of applying justice, but come on! Being able to save people on time was more important than paying importance to all the building he might or might have not have wrecked. So he didn't really understand why in the world his sponsors got so mad everytime he destroyed something.
But when he got the horrible news that his agency was closing due to financial problems, Kotetsu was suprised, to say the least. But all wasn't thrown down the gutter yet. According to his old manager, a new company had desired to hire Kotetsu´s skills. What Kotetsu hand't been informed of however, was that he would be required to work with a partner.
A very annoying, arrogant and prideful partner.
So when he first met his partner, he would have liked to say that his impression of him was that of a young and polite kouhai willing to learn some tips from his senpai. Well, he got a huge surprise when said Kouhai was nothing he had expected.
“Are you Kaburagi Kotetsu?” the young man had asked him as soon as they crossed paths. He looked to be around 24 or 26 at most. Medium lenghted blonde hair, with soft waves and striking green eyes. He was quite fit and tall, which only made his “handsome” aura stronger, of course, accompanied by his good sense of style.
“Yes...that would be me. You must be my partner. Its a pleasure to meet you,” Kotetsu responded, throwing a small grin at the man in front of him, although it slid off his face and splat on the ground as soon as Barnaby opened his mouth.
“Aren't you a bit too old to still be in this hero business?” Yes, delicacy was never a specialty in Barnaby´s menu.
“Excuse me?” Kotetsu asked, wondering if maybe he had heard wrong. Because, his kouhai couldn't be asking such a rude thing.
“I asked if you weren't too old for this bussiness? I mean, you might just end up being a burden to me. I don't want to have to come to your rescue when your age starts to become an obstacle,” Bunny repeated, adding a few more insulting lines along the way.
“Now listen here Bunny,” Kotetsu said, all “respect and understanding” for his young partner gone, “aren't you bein-”
“My name's not Bunny, its Barnaby. Shees, this is why I can't deal with old people,” Barnaby interrumpted Kotetsu, crossing his arms accross his chest as he turned to glare at his partner.
“O-old people...you....” Kotetsu grit his teeth as his patience decreased to below zero, “Has anyone ever told you that you're an insufferble arrogant twat?”
“I am not, and no, nobody has ever told me that, Old Man,” Barnaby said, a bit of anger showing on his face, showing that he did not like being insulted.
“Ha! Sure, listen here Bunny boy, stop being so angsty and pubescent and let's get along,” Kotetsu said, “And show a little more respect! I am your senpai after all!”
“Haaa?! Senpai? Aren't you just an Old Man?” Barnaby said, uncrossing his arms and adjusting his glasses higher on his nose, “And I am surprise that such a word as “pubescent” can come out of an old person's mouth.”
And just like that, Kotetsu knew his life would never be as easy again. From here on out, he would have to deal with this Barnaby, a tyrant and arrogant jerk. Needless to say, his first impression was a horrible one.
“Dear Tomoe back at home,” Kotetsu grunted to himself later that day, resting on his couch in his spacious apartment, “Kotetsu has come accross a troublesome fellow.”
