[The seconds ticked by one by one in his head while he waited with as little anxiousness as possible. Barnaby hasn't reached a breaking point in his patience but he had the sneaking suspicion that it would happen at any moment, especially if Kotetsu continued to struggle with him over what to do with the finger food that was standing between his freedom or his demise. Really? Was he really going to pick food over him? What else would he have to bribe him with? A month's supply of catered lunches as well?
But the ideas never came, his train of though completely ending there because before he could even react they were moving, moving far too hurriedly for him to even know what was even happening. Barnaby had almost assumed that Kotetsu was pushing him away due to the hand on his waist-- but the hand stayed, and he hadn't moved far at all, then there was a hand in his own and they were moving again and... wait, who told him to lead?
Once Barnaby's awareness of the situation returned he swallowed in order to regain his voice and immediately tried to tug his hand out of Kotetsu's grip. Though his lips were now in a completely flat line of composure, it was evident that he was not pleased with what Kotetsu had done. He'd had a plan, and this was part of it, but this was not how it was supposed to have happened. He answered back in his own hushed voice, eyes fixed on his partner and only his partner because if they wandered he was sure that he'd meet those burning feminine eyes again, and though Barnaby was not one to admit readily to fear, that... was something to at least make him nervous.]
I'm sorry, I'll explain afterward. Now can you please let me go so we can do this properly?
