Kotetsu finds himself blown back by the force of Barnaby's questioning, until the small of his back meets with the rounded edge of the counter top. It allows their bodies the chance to align more fully, pressed flush and as distracting as the kisses that Barnaby peppers against Kotetsu's lips. He can hardly catch his breath between each one, lashes fluttering briefly when Barnaby turns a gentle thumb onto his chin.
"Oi, oi," stammers Kotetsu, though he groans his way through another kiss, hands dropping to clutch tightly around Barnaby's waist. "You're making me feel like I'm someone with one foot in the grave. You're not that much older than twenty, you know. Why are you the one rushing?"
He sighs, extricating himself slightly from Barnaby's hold, but keeping his arms securely looped around Barnaby's waist. "Of course how Kaede would feel about this matters. And I would be open and honest with her, as I would be with my mother and my older brother. As I would be with Agnes," he says, face pulled into a frown. Maybe it's understandable that Barnaby would worry, after it had taken Kotetsu far too long to tell Barnaby his own plans for retirement. But that was... a different situation, Kotetsu thinks. One that could be easily misconstrued.

He's learned his lesson, besides.
"What is it that you think I'd be afraid of?"
