Bunny had a thousand different ways to say Kotetsu's name, it seemed; each unique inflection imparting an entirely different phrase—sometimes it meant "Stop being ridiculous," sometimes it meant "we're going to be late if you don't move," and sometimes it meant "be quiet" or "don't touch that" or "please stop talking about our private lives while we're on live television."
But sometimes it meant "don't leave me" or "that was a very kind thing you just did" or "I need you" or "I miss you."
And sometimes—like right now, when Bunny was curled up against him and letting Kotetsu play with his hair—it meant "I love you, I love you, I love you."
