aww yeah it's question meme time
Time to bring back one of my old faves...

Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:
1. POST a top-level with your character name
2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character
3. ANSWER the question you were asked
4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!
We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!
QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.
Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

But yeah it's difficult to say, since Kotetsu is so terrible at recognizing and understanding his own feelings. I think there's probably two main routes by which Kotetsu could realize he had feelings for Barnaby. The first would be along the lines of someone spilling the beans about Barnaby's feelings to him, or alternatively Barnaby accidentally letting it slip in the course of conversation with someone else and Kotetsu happening to overhear. Something like that happened in Scorched, where one of their mutual friends was ribbing them about their relationship and Barnaby admitted nothing directly, but he was sort of flustered and plain enough in his wording that Kotetsu actually cottoned on.
Gold star 4 u, Kotetsan.The second route is basically the traumatic one, lmfao. It would p. much need to be like, a redux of episode 24 + some element of fear of actually losing Barnaby--or in fact, losing him for some period of time and being a mess without him. The near-death situation is the more likely one tho, since he...never actually got around to telling Bunnaby how much he missed him the first three months they spent apart. But I think if some sort of like...dangerous event happened and then Barnaby ported out for like...a couple weeks and Kotetsu had to confront the possibility of his never coming back, he might start to get an idea of it when Barnaby did.
......Whether or not he would say anything is questionable tho bc yeah, he'd have a laundry list of reasons why Barnaby wouldn't be interested himself, like, god I'm eleven years older why would he even, I was married, I have a kid, I still love Tomoe, etc etc etc.
SIGHS HEAVILY.
If there was a 24-esque redux with Kotetsu's life in danger, how would Barnaby react?

SPEAKING OF, 24-esque redux would have Barnaby noping right out of nope town. And by that, I mean probably get really depressed, particularly if he felt like he could have prevented it somehow. Gross sobbing would likely happen. Honestly, I think it would be pretty similar to how he reacted the first time around, except possibly worse because it would be like making him relive that horrible Maverick/H-01 experience all over again. I can also imagine situations where Kotetsu getting really hurt could trigger a bad anxiety attack, for obvious reasons.
If Kotetsu and Barnaby ever officially entered a relationship, how would he feel about telling his friends and family about it?
