Chapter Text
Penguin was waiting as patiently as he could while Law probably gave that poor guy the scolding of his life. Knowing Law, she was probably pissed that Kid tried to do something for her; personally, Penguin was ecstatic to see someone stand up for her. He was her self-proclaimed best friend and took the job very seriously. Unfortunately, there was nothing more he could do than convince Law to give the guy a chance, at least she listened.
As her best friend, Penguin knew all of her best and worst qualities. And for someone as smart as Law, she had terrible taste in men. Honestly, he couldn’t say much considering he was dating a guy named Killer, but all the guys Law hooked-up with were genuinely awful. The few times he has been around Kid, he couldn’t help but notice he had a quick temper and disregarded other people’s feelings. He was pretty sure Kid was the first one who didn’t send her home with bruises though, and that said a lot.
After Law and Kid disappeared into the bedroom, Heat seemed relieved, which initially didn’t make sense until he asked Killer about it and he said, “I can’t believe Kid didn’t punch him.”
Penguin’s persistence came in handy, today especially. He’s known for years that the guys Law hooks-up with are abusive, thank god she never goes back to the same person, just the same type of people. After Law dodged so many questions about where bruises came from or why she was so skinny, she never wanted to talk about it. Still, because of his persistence, Penguin has been able to piece things together and has ultimately come to the following conclusions:
- Law has no living relatives.
- She has a really fucked up past.
- Is incredibly intelligent about everything—except the guys she sleeps with.
- Ultimately, she hates most people, but herself the most.
The more he learned about Kid, the more he liked him. He was scary-looking, sure, but he seemed to treat Law better than anyone else ever has. Kid holds back his temper around Law and obviously doesn’t want to hurt her. Penguin was also dating his best friend, so he wanted them to work out. Even if Law doesn’t believe in romance, he does, and he has enough to share with her relationship. Besides, Kid was nice enough—and he liked her enough to invite her with to Killer’s. Just last week he was mad about him being here, but now he brought Law.
When the bedroom door finally did open and they walked out, Kid looked like he just had his mind blown and Law seemed content if not pleased with herself.
“Law!” Penguin ran over to them and studied Kid from head to toe, “She didn’t castrate you, did she?”
His expression turned to one of horror, “What?! NO!”
That certainly was a relief, “Oh, good! She threatens to do that, you know.”
“Yeah, I threaten you.” Law’s voice sent shivers down his spine from beside him.
Penguin slowly turned his head, nervously chuckling, “I can’t be the only person you’ve threatened to castrate, and you know it.”
She sighed dramatically, “Fine.”
Everyone in the room shifted awkwardly, probably relieved to feel their balls still hanging between their legs and Penguin couldn’t blame them. He had to give kudos to Law for being able to successfully threaten people.
Kid cleared his throat, “Uh, Law, you want something to drink?”
Law cracked the tiniest smile as she said, “I’ll have a beer if you promise not to spill it on me.”
The burly man suddenly turned apologetic, “Hey, you’re not mad about that, are you?”
She rolled her eyes and her smile grew wider, “No, I’m not.”
“Oh, good—one beer coming up,” he leaned forward and kissed her cheek, causing Law’s face to turn pink.
Penguin turned to look at Killer behind him and saw he was staring with his mouth open. Grinning wider himself, Penguin gave Killer a kiss on his cheek then smiled, “You look cute like that.”
~oOo~
Killer was still getting used to having such a cute boyfriend, or a boyfriend at all, but so far it was nothing less than incredible. Meeting Penguin has been one of the best things to happen to him in what seems like forever. Even though they have only been together for a couple weeks, being with Penguin felt so natural and everything came easily.
“You always look cute,” he said as a come-back.
Penguin’s adorable smile grew wider as he giggled, “Stop it, you’re making me blush!”
If it wasn’t for Kid clearing his throat, Killer wouldn’t’ve remembered everyone else was still there. It was a good thing, too, because he was about to say something very inappropriate.
He gave his best friend a grateful look, then turned back to Penguin and whispered, “We’ll continue this later.”
There was a flicker of recognition in his eyes, he knew exactly what kind of things he had in mind. Penguin smiled, and Killer noticed his cheeks turned a deeper shade of pink before he turned away to talk with Law.
Killer tuned out their conversation and opted to talk with Kid, “So…are you going to tell us what happened?”
Of course, the guy just shrugged, “What’s there to tell?”
“Seriously?” Wire asked incredulously, “You hadn’t talked to her for a week and suddenly she shows up here with you!”
Heat seemed to find it in his best interest to stay quiet, which was probably true, but Killer had to agree it was odd, “Are you two dating or…?”
Kid groaned, “Fuck, I don’t know!”
“Sorry for asking, god…” He honestly was, Killer was liking the good mood Kid was finally in.
“I just…” The red-head looked at Law over his shoulder and sighed in defeat, “I really like her.”
Killer had never seen his friend look at anyone like that, “What’s the problem then?”
Kid scoffed, “I’m me, and she doesn’t do relationships.”
Finally, Heat felt compelled to speak, “What the hell do you call whatever you’re doing if not a relationship?”
“I said I don’t fucking know, okay?!”
~oOo~
Law turned around when she heard Kid yell and made eye contact with him. There was a desperate look in them, as if he was aching for something he couldn’t have. She didn’t understand what he was getting so upset about. Law had been too busy avoiding Penguin’s bombardment of questions about what happened since they last spoke. It was bad enough listening to the conversation she was involved in, she couldn’t listen to his as well.
She cocked her eyebrow slightly, “Is there a problem, Eustass?”
He opened his mouth, floundered for a moment, then closed it. Kid couldn’t seem to make up his mind, but eventually asked, “Can I call you my girlfriend?”
Never would she admit it, but that question made Law’s heart skip a beat. As a heart surgeon, that was a little concerning, but she’s heard about that kind of thing happening to people before and it isn’t supposed to be life-threatening, unfortunately…
Apparently, she spaced out, because the next thing she knew, Kid was repeating her name, “Law? Law, can you hear me? Law?”
“Yeah,” she shook her head to clear it, then glared at him, “Why the hell are you asking me this now?”
It always surprised Law how terrified Kid seemed to be of her, it was a little refreshing, since most men she was attracted to weren’t. If he was a dog, he’d be whining with his tail between his legs as he told her, “I’m sorry—I just—I had to ask.”
“You had to ask me this, right now?” She seriously couldn’t believe him. Why couldn’t he wait until they were alone?
Law watched as Kid gulped but had to admit she was impressed he didn’t turn away, “I need to know.”
She couldn’t hold his gaze, not when it burned hotter than molten steel. Law was angry at him for putting her on the spot like this, with all these people around—Law hates people, too. Everyone is always so shitty, they act all nice, but it’s really just fake—that’s why Law preferred to be with people who gave off a bad vibe, they were predictable. Kid was just supposed to be a random one-night-stand, not a boyfriend—what was this turning into?
All it would take to have an answer is say ‘yes.’ Be his girlfriend and be tied down to one person, commit herself to someone and belong to someone. The idea of it has always been terrifying to Law, but as she glanced back at Kid, she found her resistance fade away.
“Okay.”
“Just, ‘okay?’” Of course, he would drag this out, “What’re you talking about, Law?”
Closing her eyes, Law hoped she wouldn’t regret this, “Okay, you can call me your girlfriend.”
When she opened her eyes, Kid was wearing the biggest smile she’d ever seen, “Okay.”
Law wanted to scoff and complain, say ‘just okay’ and mock him, but she couldn’t. After the words left his mouth, Kid stepped forward and pulled her in for a kiss. But not just any kiss—the kind that leaves one’s body and soul flowing with adrenaline from the sheer passion behind it.
The apartment suddenly erupted into cheers and applause, four people were able to make an astounding amount of noise. She had wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself closer, not caring for a moment where they were or who was around.
~oOo~
Once they were back at his apartment, Law apparently thought now would be the time to talk about what had happened earlier, “I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into, Eustass.”
He turned around to look at her as she finished removing her shoes, “What’re you talking about?”
Law rolled her golden eyes and sighed, “Me. You. Us…”
Kid took a few steps closer to Law and cupped her cheek in his hand, “I know… I’ve never been in a relationship before—at least not like this…”
“Me neither…”
“Hey,” Kid wiped away a tear that ran down her face, “What’s wrong?”
“Don’t look at me like that.”
He blinked at her in confusion, “Like what?”
Law took a deep breath before opening her eyes and saying, “Like I matter to you.”
Kid clenched his fists and snapped, “You do matter to me!”
She shook her head and closed her eyes, “Look, I know I said you can call me your girlfriend, but—”
“But what, Law?!” He furiously asked, “But you don’t know how?! Well, neither do I—you’re just too scared to try!” Kid noticed she flinched when he waved his hand in the air and softened his tone, “Look, I’m sorry, okay?” He rubbed his temple and sighed in resignation, “I just don’t want to see you walk away.”
Of all the ways Law could’ve responded, she laughed, “I’ll do it when you aren’t looking.”
He frowned, “What’re you so afraid of?”
~oOo~
“The inevitable!” She shouted.
“What?” Kid stared back at her like what she just said made no sense.
Law sighed, defeated, finally giving-in, “No matter how or when, this us is going to end.”
That’s when it finally seemed to click for him, “You’re talking about death.”
She nodded her head, “I’m a heart surgeon, Eustass—I save lives but I see people die all the time. It’s inevitable, everyone—and I mean everyone—I’ve ever cared about is dead. Is it really that surprising for me to think about such things when I have these tattoos on my hands?”
Kid held her hands in his own and began tracing the tattoos on the backs of them as he gently spoke, “You deserve to be happy, Law. I want to make you happy.”
Without any warning at all, tears began falling from her eyes. Law’s throat felt like it was closing in on itself, she gasped for air and let out a loud sob. Before she knew it, Kid was helping her to the couch where he sat down and let her fall against his chest.
Law wasn’t sure how long she cried for, but Kid held her the whole time. He pet her hair and rubbed her back, he would occasionally kiss the top of her head or squeeze her body closer to his. It had been a long time since anyone treated her like this—not since Cora-san had passed.
Eventually, she nuzzled up against his neck once she stopped crying, “Thank you.”
Kid brushed her hair from her face with a gentle smile across his lips and whispered, “Anytime—I mean I don’t want you to cry, but anytime you need to, I’ll be here.”
She listened to his words, breathed in Kid’s musky scent, and felt herself relax, “I’ve never done anything like this before.”
He chuckled into her hair, “Neither have I.”
“Are you scared?” She hated how her voice shook as she asked.
Kid leaned back, and Law could see his red-brown eyes were serious as he answered, “The thing that scares me most is never seeing you again.”
Law nervously bit her lower lip, “Eustass, I don’t know what I’m doing—my life is a chaotic mess.”
“It’s just an excuse, Law. I don’t care what kind of baggage you might have, I just really fucking like you and I’ve never felt like this about anyone before.” Kid looked desperately into her eyes, “Please, let me help take care of you.”
“Why?” Law sighed, “I’m not worth it.”
Once again, he was cupping her cheek in his large hand, his eyes were soft, but fierce as he proclaimed, “You’re worth more than your weight in gold, Law.”
Her mouth twitched, “I don’t weigh that much.”
Kid’s expression grew stern, “I’m serious, Law.”
Before she had the chance to say anything, he kissed her—open-mouthed and aggressively. It was the kind of kiss that took her breath away and left Law aching for more. Law didn’t stand a chance when he decided to kiss her like that.
When their mouths broke apart, Law whimpered against Kid’s lips, causing him to chuckle, “You like that?”
She opened her eyes and pouted her lips as she nodded her head.
His smile was dazzling, Kid’s canines resembled fangs due to their pointedness, and Law wondered what it would be like to get bitten by him.
~oOo~
“Eustass?”
They were cuddling on his couch watching a movie. Kid turned to her and asked, “What is it, babe?”
Law’s golden eyes were mesmerizing as she said, “I would like to cash-in on that little favor you owe me.”
It took him about two seconds to realize she was referring to the blow job she had given him earlier at Killer’s place. Kid chuckled at her, “Is this your subtle way of telling me you’re horny?”
She began to blush and looked away, it was probably the cutest thing Kid had ever seen in his life. Law muttered under her breath, just loud enough for him to hear, “Are you going to help me out here, or not?”
Kid seductively grinned, “Oh, it will be my pleasure.” He leaned close to her ear and sucked on her lobe, using his tongue to play with her gold earrings.
Her breath hitched, and a small whimper left her, “Mmmm~”
He hummed in acknowledgement, “You like when I play with your jewelry, don’t you?”
Law’s body froze at his question until he gave her ear another lick, “Fuck, Eustass, yes!”
“Much better,” Kid smiled to himself and told Law, “I want to hear you, ‘kay babe?”
“Mmm more, Eustass…”
Kid hummed in acknowledgement and pulled her tank top up to expose her pierced nipples. He tugged on her left one and cupped her right breast in his hand, although there wasn’t much there.
Law threw her head back and closed her eyes, but her mouth was open wide as she gasped, “Ohh~ Eustass… I need this!”
He continued playing with her nipples and gave her an open-mouthed kiss. Kid needed this too—to be able to worship Law and make her feel good—it was his job after all.
When he moved a hand down to her clit, Law broke away from the kiss and groaned in pleasure, “Ahhh~ fuck!”
As soon as she stopped the kiss, Kid had moved along to her neck and began sucking, determined to leave a mark on her. His right hand gently caressed her wet folds and would occasionally give her piercing a light tug.
“Eustass! I—I’m so… I’m so close~” Law’s legs were quivering as her voice shook with anticipation.
Not wanting to disappoint, Kid removed his mouth from her neck and swiftly moved between her legs. He wanted to taste Law as she fell apart, he began to lap at her leaking hole and stimulated her clit with his thumb.
No words came from Law, only unintelligible noises that were so unlike her it made Kid feel extra cocky. She tasted better than he remembered, but still had that unique flavor that was Law. Between licks he told her, “Goddamn, Law… You taste so… Fucking good…”
Kid wasn’t sure what he was expecting from that comment, but it wasn’t Law kissing him. The kiss was nice, full of tongue and messy, when Law pulled away she smacked her lips and concluded, “Yeah, not too bad.”
He knew the smile he wore was dorky and cheesy, but Law did that to him. She made him really happy. Kid wasn’t used to being in a good mood like this, it was freeing; who knew one person could make all the difference?
Who was he kidding, he knew this would happen. Ever since he met Law, she was all he could think about and not seeing her had been pure agony. Obviously, she was capable of altering his mood—how could he not be happy when she was around?
“Eustass?” He turned to Law at the sound of her voice, “Penny for your thoughts?”
The idea of sharing his thoughts was a little terrifying because he had no idea how Law would react. However, Kid never had a girlfriend before and needed to get used to the idea of opening himself up to someone. “I was just thinking about how insanely happy you make me,” he admitted.
Law’s smile was cute and shy as she blushed, “You make me happy too…”
“Well, I better—otherwise I’d be a pretty shit boyfriend,” he smiled back cockily.
She chuckled, “What about me? You didn’t even cum yet.”
Kid shrugged, “I did earlier, it was your turn.”
“So,” Law raised her eyebrow mysteriously, “You wouldn’t like to fuck me?”
Law started to undress herself the rest of the way until she was standing naked in front of him. Kid could only stand and stare for a moment, before snapping out of it, “I—we can fuck.”
He pulled his shirt over his head and revealed his bare chest to her. Kid stepped out of his pants and boxers in the same go, not wanting to waste any more time.
Kid walked up to Law and picked her up with ease, allowing her time to wrap her legs around him before lining his cock up with her leaking pussy.
When he sheathed himself inside her, Kid groaned in pleasure, “Aaah~ Fuck! Law, you’re so tight~”
She whimpered against his neck and squeezed her walls around his member, “Move.”
“Tch,” Kid rolled his eyes, “You asked for it,” then pulled himself nearly all the way out before slamming her body back down to connect with his own.
“Uuuh~ Aaahhh! Ahhh~ Mmmm~ Euuu~ Sss—Eustass!”
Her moaning was music to his ears, Kid could listen to Law moan all day long and never get tired of it.
He spanked her ass after plunging himself deep inside her pussy, “Aaaah!”
Kid felt the way her body quivered afterwards and smiled to himself, “You like it when I spank you?”
When he sank himself deep inside her, Kid spanked her again, this time harder, causing Law to cry out, “FUCK! YESSS~”
He hummed in delight, “There she is~” Then he spanked her other cheek.
“EUSTASS!” Law screamed his name as she came around his dick.
Kid wasn’t nearly finished with her yet, though. He continued to slam into her with hard, precise thrusts—which she seemed to be enjoying just fine based on the lewd moans that kept coming out of her. Kid was pretty happy he didn’t have a roommate right about now, because they were in the middle of the living room having really loud sex.
When he started to rub at her clit and tug on her piercings, Law called out, “Aaaah! FUCK! Bite me!”
Living in the moment, Kid did as she said and sunk his teeth into the crook of her neck and shoulder, causing her to gasp, then moan. He managed to draw blood and left teeth marks in her skin. After licking away the blood, he kissed her mark, “You’re mine…”
Her golden eyes fluttered open and gazed back into his own. They were filled with want and lust, passion and devotion as she came all over his dick. Kid thrust himself into her a few more times before cuming inside her, groaning with his release.
He removed his dick from her tight pussy and groaned, “Fuck…”
“Should we shower?” Law asked.
Kid smirked, “Yes, we should.”
~oOo~
By the time they got to the bathroom, cum was leaking from Law and dripping down her thighs. She could not wait to get clean, unfortunately, Kid had something else in mind and knelt down on the floor between her legs, “God, you’re so fucking sexy, Law.”
She rolled her eyes, “Eustass, I want to shower so cum isn’t all over my legs, if you don’t mind.”
“It looks so good on you though,” he justified.
Law sighed dramatically and turned to start the shower herself.
“Come on, babe—I’m just teasing,” he called to her through the shower curtain.
The sound of running water was her response, but it took about two seconds for Kid to join her in the shower. Normally, showering with someone else wasn’t something Law would do, but with Kid it was different.
She has always valued her privacy above most things—never wanting to share information with people about herself, let people get to know her better, god forbid befriend her? Her hook-ups were just that—hook-ups. Law would let them use her body, really not giving a shit what they did to her, and then they’d both go on with their lives.
Kid was neither of those things—he was her…boyfriend. Law never had one before, but she knew it wasn’t unheard-of to shower with one’s boyfriend.
With the curtain drawn, they felt awfully close. He was blocking the water stream as he got his hair wet. She glanced up at him, only to find herself kissing the man the moment after their eyes met. Law was swept up in the kiss, her body felt like jelly and her knees gave out beneath her.
Luckily, Kid was there to keep her standing on her own two feet. His arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her body against his own. Law could feel the hard muscles that made up his torso, as well as his erection against her hip as they continued to kiss under the stream of hot water.
When they broke apart from their intense make-out session and Law opened her eyes she was met with a smiling Kid who said, “That was nice.”
She raised her eyebrow, “Nice?”
Terror flashed in his red-brown eyes before he quickly said, “Fucking fantastic.”
Law smirked at him, “That’s more accurate.”
They took turns standing under the water to wash themselves, it wasn’t awkward or weird, either—they simply showered together—and Law had never done that before.
Kid turned off the water when they were finished and stepped out first, grabbing towels from the cupboard and wrapping one around her shoulders before drying himself off.
The gesture was sweet and certainly didn’t go unnoticed by Law. It gave her butterflies in her stomach—she felt silly, but it was true.
She swallowed the lump in her throat and opened her mouth to say something, but when she got a good look at Kid all hope was lost. His towel hung low on his hips, she could see his red happy-trail and the deep v of his hips, the toned abdominal muscles and pectorals that rippled beneath his pale skin.
Law adjusted her own towel, suddenly feeling very self-conscious about her own body. It certainly didn’t make sense for someone who so clearly takes care of themselves to be attracted to someone like herself. She was well-aware of her unhealthy body weight, being in the medical field, but also being the one who resides within. Law was the one who made herself look this way in the first place.
Kid seemed to notice her discomfort, taking a step forward with concern written across his face, “Hey, you alright?”
Her gaze dropped to the floor, unable to handle someone looking at her the way Kid was. Law still had the towel wrapped around her shoulders, her hair still dripping wet, along with her legs. She shrugged her shoulders and pulled the towel closer to her non-existent chest, “Not really.”
She watched his feet as he walked closer until he was standing right toe-to-toe with her. Law felt his rough fingers on her chin, but the touch was soft and gentle as was his voice, “Look at me.”
Law raised her chin on her own and looked Kid in the eyes.
“You are beautiful,” he told her with a smile and that same gentle voice. Kid’s red-brown eyes reminded her of the way Corazon looked at her—someone who loved her.
There was no stopping her tears as they fell from her own eyes. Law usually didn’t cry like this, she couldn’t even remember the last time she cried before earlier today. Kid just…made her feel…safe, cared-for, protected. She let her guard down around him, but she didn’t regret it.
