I don't speak French, Google supplied me with the snippets in this chapter. I would appreciate it if someone who does corrects my mistakes! Translations are in the end notes =)
Edit on the 24th of April 2015: Thanks to Treegona and Douana for correcting the translations!
"Fuck, it's cold," Kid said, teeth clattering.
Law pulled one mitten off and handed it over. The redhead frowned, but he pulled it on when the smaller man raised an eyebrow.
"You don't find it cold?" he asked.
"Sure, but I'm used to it. The average annual temperature at home is only 3,6 degrees. The tavern can't be too far away."
"I hate cold, and I hate snow," Kid grumbled.
"I'm sure you don't mean that," Law smiled as he reached out to entwine his fingers with Kid's metal ones. "We wouldn't have an excuse to hold hands if it weren't cold."
"We need an excuse?" Kid asked, raising a non-existent eyebrow.
Law stuck his tongue out at him, and the taller man leant down to kiss him. He responded happily before pulling away, pointing with his free hand.
"There's the tavern. I just hope it's not too seedy."
"What does it matter?" Kid asked as he let his lover pull him forwards.
"If something happens, I'd rather not have to move one of you back to the ship to treat wounds. Especially you. It would take both Killer and Wire to get you there, and we'd be three fighters short."
"Are you calling me fat?" Kid asked incredulously as they entered the tavern.
"I'm pointing out the fact you weigh over 200 pounds without your arm," Law answered bluntly.
Kid's outraged remark was silenced by their crewmates' hails, but the potency of his glare told Law this slight would not be forgotten. He smiled sweetly and stood on tiptoes to peck the Omega on the cheek as he headed for the bar. He heard Kid cursing under his breath as he stomped to join their crew, and grinned. The younger man was very preoccupied with appearing tough and fearsome, and he hated any sort of remark about his looks or size, whether it was positive or negative didn't matter. It amused Law, who never neglected an opportunity to exploit it – even if it meant Kid refused to talk to him for days afterwards.
"Two hot chocolates," he told the bartender, feeling his lover deserved a treat after the cold of their journey from the ship.
"1600 berries," was the answer, and Law handed him two 1000 berry bills with a wave of his hand to indicate he keep the change. "My mate will bring them to you."
"Thank you," Law said, and retreated to their table.
"Where's my booze?" Kid demanded irritably.
"You're not getting any, I explained it perfectly not half an hour ago," Law answered. "Our beverages will be brought to the table."
"Is something wrong, captain Kid?" Bepo asked in a concerned voice.
"Nothing life-threatening," Kid assured him gruffly.
Law bashed his lover over the head with a growl.
"Nothing at all," Kid corrected meekly.
"He isn't fully recovered yet," Law explained. "No booze and no strenuous exercise. Help me keep an eye on him, all right?"
"Aye, aye, cap'n," echoed across the table.
"You almost ratted us out," Law said, annoyed, as he closed the door behind them. "We decided not to tell them yet."
"I've never kept them in the dark about something before. It's difficult," Kid answered tiredly as he kicked his boots off. "We'll have to tell them eventually."
"Not yet. It's too early; we can't get them excited for nothing. Especially because of what happened two weeks ago."
Kid shrugged out of his coat and pulled the turtleneck sweater over his head.
"Ah, shit, it's cold in here."
"It's snowing again," Law supplied as he went over to the window.
Kid grunted as he unbuckled his belts and kicked his pants off.
"Where's my toothbrush?" he asked.
"Here," Law answered, holding out a bag with their toiletries.
"Thanks," Kid muttered as he took it and headed into the en-suite.
Law turned from the window and sighed at the sight of his lover's clothes pile. He unzipped his trench coat and threw it over the back of the desk chair before picking Kid's coat up and draping it on top of his.
"Y'know, Kid, we've talked about leaving clothes all over the place," he called as he folded the sweater and pulled his shirt over his head.
"Shut up," was the indistinct answer.
"What if our child falls over your pile and breaks something?"
"I have seven months to learn it, give me a break!"
"Six months and a week!" Law grinned as Kid growled in exasperation.
He unbuckled his belt and began the arduous task of getting his pants off. Kid entered the room, snorted at the sight of him jumping to and fro as he pulled at his pants, and headed for the bed.
"Don't put out the candles until you come back."
The plea in Kid's voice was obvious, though it wasn't a question.
"Of course I won't," Law soothed as he finally got his pants off. "Lie in the middle to warm the bed up quicker, it's probably cold."
A stream of curses followed him as he folded his pants and put the now neat stack on the chair, retreating to the bathroom. Law quickly brushed his teeth and rearranged the things Kid seemed to have dumped carelessly out of the bag. Then he blew out the candle and returned to the bedroom where Kid shivered under the thick duvet.
"I hate winter islands," he grumbled. "How long do we have to stay?"
"Two weeks. I'd spend some time with the bartender's mate if I were you," Law answered as he blew out the last candle and slid under the covers.
"Why?" Kid asked as his lover wrapped his arms around him and cuddled close.
"Not only are you around the same age, you're both in the first trimester of your first pregnancy and have a riotous crowd to manage. You might pick up some tips."
"The kids aren't hers?"
"No, they look nothing like her and don't call her mother."
"Huh," Kid answered.
Law shifted even closer, resting his head on his lover's shoulder.
"Can I touch you?" he asked.
"You are touching me," Kid hedged.
"You know what I mean."
Kid shifted, and Law almost felt sorry he'd asked. His lover was painfully aware of being an Omega, and sex was a huge issue for him. Law believed he was both fascinated and terrified by it, for reasons he didn't know and Kid had not divulged. He even wondered if Kid actually knew himself.
"I don't know," Kid muttered. "Will you give me a minute?"
Law pressed a kiss to his shoulder in answer and splayed a hand across his lover's stomach. The muscles were not as defined as they had been two months ago, though Law knew there was barely any noticeable difference. There was no bump, of course, and he didn't expect Kid to get very big, he was too muscular for that, but the thought nevertheless made him grin.
"What are you thinking about?" Kid asked.
"You. Round and beautiful with our child."
Kid rolled over, and Law shifted to accommodate him.
"You think I'm beautiful?" he asked.
"And handsome and gorgeous and lovely," Law answered. "You're a pain in the ass," Kid chuckled, "but I love you, though I just want to stick your stupid head on a pike sometimes."
Kid kissed him as he entwined their legs and pressed against him. Law tightened his arms around his lover as he kissed back with enthusiasm. They hadn't had sex for a while – Law had been too concerned to even consider it – but even if they didn't go through with it, he would be content. Both Kid and their child were safe, they were docked at a Marineless island for once, and not a single member of their crew was injured. Law wouldn't try to deny that Kid's current enthusiasm was very much appreciated, however. He pulled back, breathless, smiling at Kid's flushed, happy face he could just barely make out in the dark.
"I love you too," his lover said and leant in for another kiss.
Law sealed their lips together, pleased with Kid's willingness. There was a knock on the door, and Kid growled as he pulled away.
"What?" he called.
""Vous êtes déjà au lit?"" Killer asked. "Il n'est que 23h."
"On était crevés," Kid answered, annoyed.
"Je vois." Killer was amused. "J'interromps quelque chose."
"Tu interromps quelque chose, oui!" Kid bellowed, and Law could feel the heat radiating from his cheeks.
"J'y vais, j'y vais," Killer chuckled. "Bonne nuit, petit frère."
"Bonne nuit," Kid snapped.
"Being from South Blue sure has its perks," Law said wistfully.
"Speaking two languages isn't necessarily a good thing," Kid said.
Law hummed in response, leaning in for another kiss. Kid's fierce response was instantaneous, and Law slid one hand up his back to twist his fingers into his hair. Kid shivered and groaned, giving his lover a chance to slip his tongue inside his mouth, and he hesitantly slid his along Law's. The older man tightened his arm around his waist, pulling him even closer as Kid wrapped his arms around Law and pressed himself against him, their tongues dancing.
"Law," Kid whispered nervously as he pulled away.
"Yeah?" Law whispered back.
"You want to … to go all the way?"
"I'd like to, but it's your choice, of course."
"I-I think I would also like to," Kid admitted.
"You can change your mind," Law assured him.
"I doubt I'll want to."
Law crushed their lips together as he used his Devil's Fruit ability to flip Kid over onto his back, leaning over him. Kid voiced no complaint, moving his arms up to wrap around his neck as he kissed back with equal fervour. Law kept one hand next to Kid's head for support as he moved the other to his lover's stomach. The redhead shivered as the cold hand made contact with his skin and a groan spilled from his lips. Law smiled as he traced his lover's muscles and pulled back from his lips to kiss down his jaw, making Kid's breath hitch as he started down his throat.
"Law," Kid moaned as he swirled his tongue around his Adam's apple and then sucked gently on it.
Law's smile became a grin as he ran his hand upwards and Kid's breath hitched a second time.
"OK?" he asked as he reached a nipple, and his lover nodded.
Law ran his thumb over it and Kid jerked as he moaned softly.
"Darling," Law murmured as he kissed underneath his ear.
"Yeah?" Kid whispered breathlessly.
"Don't hold back, OK? You know I love to hear you."
"Law," he could tell Kid was blushing by his tone.
"Will you do that for me?" he pressed.
"I'll try," Kid acquiesced.
"Thank you," Law said as he lifted his head to kiss him.
Kid kissed back as he pulled Law closer. Law let him, shifting so he wouldn't lie on his abdomen as he gently rolled the nipple between his thumb and forefinger. Kid cursed, and Law chuckled as he did it again.
"Oh, Law, fuck."
Law kissed down his jaw again and now paid special attention to that spot below his ear, licking and nipping gently before sucking. Kid moaned and tilted his head to the side, and Law bit down, making Kid arch against him.
"Beautiful," Law murmured as he kissed the mark he'd left and pinched the nipple gently, making Kid cry out.
"Ah, Law," he panted as Law rolled it between his fingers again.
"Enough?" Law asked.
Kid shook his head as he pulled him fully on top of him.
"Really?" Law asked as he realised his lover was fully erect. "Already?"
"It's been a while," Kid defended, blushing anew. "You're hard too."
"Of course I am," Law answered. "You're in bed with me, underneath me, perfectly eager and willing, looking as handsome and irresistible as ever, and making lovely noises. How could I not be?"
Kid made an embarrassed noise as he shifted, and Law kissed him.
"I love you, Kid. Never forget that. I've been ridiculously attracted to you since I first saw you, and that won't change. I am very honoured that you're mine; I'm a lucky bastard. You don't have to be embarrassed about wanting me, and you should let me know how and when, OK?"
Law knew Kid was very unlikely to take that to heart, he was so painfully awkward about sex, but it should give him a bit of a confidence boost. Kid moaned as he arched up against him and kissed him. Law moaned as well as he brought a hand down to palm Kid through his boxers.
"Ah, Law," Kid groaned. "Mh, oh, yes."
"Keep making those lovely noises," Law panted as he moved his hand down to cup the younger man's balls. "Oh, Jesus, you're ready for me, aren't you?"
Kid whined in answer as his lover began divesting him of his boxers.
"Should I prepare you, or will it be all right if I don't?"
"I don't want to wait. I need you."
"Wonderful; I'm not sure I would do a good job of it right now, anyhow. Is spooning all right?"
Kid nodded and Law rolled off him as he threw the boxers over the side of the bed and removed his own. When he rolled back over after discarding them, he was greeted by the sight of his lover's impressively muscular back, and he groaned as he pressed himself against him, Kid wrapping a leg over his hip.
"Ah, Kid," Law moaned as his cock pressed between the cheeks of Kid's ass and he could feel his entrance flutter against him. "You're so wet. Can I?"
Kid pushed back against him with a moan of his name in answer.
A cry from the next room broke the silence, and Killer chuckled as Shachi grumbled.
"You owe me 500 berries each," the blonde proclaimed smugly.
"I'll pay up tomorrow, I left my money behind," Penguin answered. "Should we tell them?"
"No," Shachi said quickly. "Kid would kill us. You know what he's like."
Killer laughed as he wrapped his hand around Shachi's raging erection.
"Voyeur," Penguin grinned as he leant in to kiss him.
