The next morning came with golden sunlight streaming through the window, the sounds of birds singing outside—and the sudden shriek of a horrified woman.
Kotetsu had awoken with the need to empty her bladder, and half asleep, she had shuffled into the bathroom where she tried to relieve herself in the normal way, only to have the rude reality come flooding back when she couldn't find what she had been looking for.
It hadn't been a nightmare...and it hadn't gone away....she was still a woman.
Barnaby woke with a start at the shriek, sitting upright in bed quickly and panting slightly. He looked towards the bathroom, then jumped out of bed and ran.
"Kotetsu?" The blonde stumbled to the door and peaked inside. "Are you alright?"
She looked up with messy hair, the large shirt leaving one petite shoulder exposed as she tugged the hem of the shirt down to cover herself.
"I—I forgot I was a girl and I gotta pee..."
Barnaby sighed and rubbed his face. "You can still pee you know. I'll let you do your business."
"But how do girls do it? They have nothing to aim with—do they sit? They probably sit, don't they?"
"Uh, yeah... I'm going back to bed." He left the door with a yawn and moseyed back to his bedroom.
After she finally relieved herself, Kotetsu shuffled back to the bed and flopped onto Barnaby, muttering to herself about how she was supposed to wake up with things back to normal.
Barnaby sighed and glanced at Kotetsu. "Don't let it get to you, Babe. You'll be back to normal soon."
"...Did you just call me 'babe'? What the fuck, Bunny? Just stick to 'Old Man'!"
"Hey, don't go PMSing on me, Kotetsu. You may be a girl now but you don't have to act like one all the time."
"I'll have you know that I am not bleeding like that, and what is wrong with me wanting you to keep my old nickname from you?"
"Sorry it doesn't seem to fit you right now. I'd like to use a new nickname for now if you don't mind." Barnaby grabbed Kotetsu's wrists and looked into her eyes.
"I don't want you treating me different...I'm still the same Wild Tiger you met and tricked to go on a date with you..."
A small laugh came from the blonde and he pulled Kotetsu closer. "I'm foolish for arguing with a woman. I know I won't win." He wrapped his arms around her. "Give me a kiss?"
"...You are treating me different again." Kotetsu pouted.
"Come on, just kiss me will you? I haven't gotten one from you for a while."
"You'll get one once you act like the normal boyfriend I'm used to."
"Fine, Old Man. Give me a kiss now."
Kotetsu finally smiled and relaxed, "Thank you." She leaned down, pressing her lips to his.
Barnaby pressed her closer and tilted his head slightly. After a moment more of kissing, his hand snaked to the back of her shirt.
"Don't even think about it." She warned into the kiss.
"Oh come on, just a little bit? I promise I'll stop before we get very far." He played with the end of the shirt.
"I'm really not comfortable in this body, Barnaby." Kotetsu insisted, using Bunny's real name to show how serious she was. "Just—give me time. If this goes away then we won't have a problem, but if this is permanent...we'll see what happens later. But for now please stop?"
