Law bit his lip, trying to figure out why in the world he got himself into this situation. Sure, Kidd decided at the last-minute to be the hero of the fucking day, saving his and the Mugiwaras' asses from the death contraption.

But seriously. Where was this bastard even hiding on this island? Wasn't Punk Hazard supposed to have just one secret evil base?

Apparently not.

Now Kidd, Law's Prince on the fucking white horse, sits in front of him.

His crimson eyes burned in obvious anger at Law as he kept his calm façade.

"You know. If it weren't for me, you'd be dead right about now."

Oh. Great.

"Mister Eustass, I assure you of my appreciation for your actions today, and fully intend to pay you back upon returning to my ship. I may not be the richest pirate in the sea, but I can offer you a considerable-"

"No, not interested in the money."

Law's eyebrow twitched. Of course, not very visibly. Law wasn't about to give a sign of emotion to Kidd.

No matter how relieved he was to see that fiery hair flashing by as the Captain slashed his way through any attackers. Not even the fact that Kidd looked so fucking sexy in front of him right now would faze Trafalgar Law. Nope.

"Trafalgar. You KNOW I don't want or even need the money. What I want you to give me is an explanation of why in the fucking world you are on this goddamned island, nearly being poisoned to death by a whatever that slimed monster from hell was."

Law sighed. What was the point in explaining? After all, Kidd wouldn't let any excuse go by without a thorough scolding. It's not as if Law is his son in need of an overprotective father. He's Trafalgar Law for God's sake. The Captain of notorious Heart Pirates. The Surgeon of Death. The freaking hottest male Shichibukai in the world.

"Hey, don't give me that exasperated expression. You always have me at the edge of a cliff just worrying my fucking brains out for you every day because you go and do things like this! What would you have done if I didn't come in time? I don't even kno-"

"Mister Eustass! Please. Let's just calm ourselves for a moment. Though I am quite honored to have you fret over me, I do not need another mother. Especially if you will continue to be my lover."

Yes. Lover. Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kidd are in a secret sexual relationship away from prying eyes. How they manage to keep everyone unaware of this fact while meeting up with each other a decent amount of times in the deadly New World still confuses Kidd. But he knows better than to question the methods of his surgeon.

Now, they both will hate admit it, but thy wouldn't be able to survive without their occasional fuck sessions. Stresses of being out on the sea you know. Not to mention that they will never be able to find a partner that is more compatible to them. Sex is like a drug, addicting due to the high you get for that moment. Good sex however, is hard to come by and so much more worthwhile. This a fact known by the two pirates.

"Well then Mister Eustass, will you stop with the questions and continue on with the agenda? Or will I be forced to cut our reunion short to find refuge from your nagging?"

Kidd smirked. That's his Law alright. Fucking straight to the point, and so perfect. Save for the aspect of him that was ignorant to danger of course.

Both the Kid Pirates, and the Strawhats didn't see the two captains until the next afternoon.
