Kotetsu's ears are ringing and he doesn't dare to breathe. But none of that stops the words from reaching him, ringing clear as a bell.
Barnaby is in love with him, too. Bunny loves him back.
He breathes, and then he laughs, and then he's hugging Barnaby close and picking him up and spinning the taller man around before he sets him back down on his feet to hug him some more. "Yes!" he cheers out loud, because that kind of happiness has to be given voice somehow. "I'm..." And yet how does he even begin, how can he possibly start to give voice to how fantastically wonderful this is, especially on the heels of so much horror.
Being Kotetsu, he takes the most straightforward option. "I'm so happy, this is so amazing, I..."
He trails away into a fit of happy giggling that might be edged with happy tears. Until at last, Kotetsu steps away once more - just a step, not too far- all the while keeping Barnaby's hands clutched tightly, protectively, in his once more. He looks at this man he oves so much and beams hopefully.
"...I really want to kiss you." A kiss like the sort he hasn't had since Tomoe died. "Would...that be okay now, Bunny?"
