Tiger In The Closet
Title: Tiger In The Closet
Fandom: Tiger&Bunny
Characters: Kotetsu/Barnaby, Kaede
Summary: A creative use of ties.
Returning from school, Kaede was surprised to see the house empty. No dad glomping her when she came in. No shout of "Kaede !" coming from the kitchen, followed by a few crashes and her dad appearing in the entryway, a goofy grin plastered on his face, covered in flour and dough because he had been making her "'Welcome-Home !’-cookies".
«Dad?»
She heard a muffled sound coming from his bedroom. Still a bit wary, she picked the broom in the kitchen and silently made her way to the source of noise. When she got to the closed door, Kaede noticed his usual steel-studed black tie lying on the floor. Which was strange. Keeping her eyes trained on the tie, she slowly opened the door. Ever since she had gotten it for him as a gift on Father’s Day, he took great care of it. He had even bought another twenty just to wear it every day. She lifted her eyes from the floor-
Ties. Everywhere.
On the floor, on the desk, on the bed... His whole collection was scattered all around the bedroom.
And still no sign of him.
Leaving the broom against the wall, she entered the room and started looking for him.
And that’s where she found him. In his dressing, wrists, arms, ankles and legs bound together by many of his identical ties knotted together to form a sort of rope. He was gagged, too.
Speechless and shocked, she watched her dad squirm, his protests muffled by cloth, eyes stretched open as panic and shame etched across his face. She opened her mouth- only to close it again. She tried to speak, still watching him wide-eyed rolling around on the floor, desperately trying to free himself of this admittedly pretty embarassing situation.
Unable to move, Kaede noticed a white card adorning a pink rabbit imprinted on the back of it amidst the mess on the floor. His dad still struggling, she decided to pick it up.
To whoever finds him,
He was annoying. He speaks too much and gesticulates too much.

Processing what she had read, she slowly turned to her dad who was by now near his desk chair and parting her lips-
«YOU KNOW BARNABY? DAD YOU’RE SO COOL! I’M GOING TO CALL ALL MY FRIENDS, THEY’LL BE SO JEALOUS. OH AND I’M KEEPING THAT, I MEAN, HE WROTE IT AND SIGNED IT! IT’S A SIGN-»
And with that said, still squealing over Barnaby, card pressed to her chest, she ran out of the room.
Hearing the front door slamming shut, Kotetsu stopped struggling a minute before deflating and thumping his forehead on the floor. Multiple times. He was going to kill Bunny tomorrow… But only after he had tied him up and left him on the street to his fangirls’ mercy. Yeah, that sounded good.
