"Gol D. Roger is the name of the former king and the man who raised me.." Law explained, holding a new cup of coffee. "He disappeared five years ago and nobody knows what happened to him."
"Wait, you are telling me, that my father lived 200 years ago and is your father?" Ace couldn't believe his ears.
Law reached into his pocket and took out a small medallion. He opened it wordlessly and handed it over to Ace,who's eyes went wide in surprise as he saw the picture inside.
"Impossible." he gasped, looking between Law and the medallion. "But how?"
The time traveler looked down. "I am not sure, but I believe, that he came here. And you are the proof for it."
"Was that the reason why you were in the cellar?" Kid decided to interfere. "Are you looking for him?"
"Yeah, amongst other things." Law replied quietly, staring at the carpet as if it was the most interesting thing he ever saw.
"What are these other things?" the redhead demanded.
The tanned man took a harsh breath in and finally lifted his gaze. "I need to find a way how to get rid of a ghost. I am fully aware how ridiculous it must sound in this time, but spirits and ghost are real in my time."
Kid's jaw dropped. He had seriously believed that Law came from the past, but now, he wasn't so sure anymore. He could just be someone who ran away from a psych ward. But he had seemed so normal...
"Is the ghost related to Roger in any way?" Sabo broke the silence, his brows furrowed.
Law nodded. "The ghost appeared the same day Roger disappeared. I am sure there is a connection."
"And it didn't happen that time when he went over here, when he made Ace- you know?" Kid's face had the colour of his hair.
"I haven't lived at the castle back than but nobody mentioned anything like that after the ghost appeared. I am sorry."
"It's just so fucking weird!" Ace complained loudly. He didn't like talking about his father as he had disappeared shortly after he was born. The fact that he was a dude from 200 years ago didn't help at all.
"Portgas, what are you doing here anyway?" Kid asked suddenly, as if he has just realized his presence. "Did Garp kick you out? Again?"
The lack of response spoke volumes. "You can't be serious." he groaned. "What the hell did you do?"
Sabo turned on the TV as he realized that the interesting part of the conversation was over and his roommate would just scold his younger brother. He has seen it so often, that it wasn't interesting anymore for him. But Law listened with interest as the freckled youth explained that he has set a car on fire. By accident of course. As always, Sabo smirked and looked back on the screen.
Some kind of special news was running for whatever reason. He couldn't remember any kind of announcement, so what was wrong?
"Law! Law! Hell, shut up you idiots!" the blonde called out suddenly. "Law, do you know these men?" he pointed to the screen, where a video from a security camera was showing five or six men in historic uniforms and weapons, screaming and attacking random vehicles. Sabo as historian recognized the uniforms in seconds. They were from the same time Law claimed to come.
"I know them.." the man trembled. All color has left his face.
"What's wrong?" Sabo asked, full of worry while the other two men finally decided to shut up and listen.
"I believe they want to kill me." Law confessed finally.
Kid just growled. "Some whiskey or rum anybody? I am not going to deal with some crazy historical murderers sober." he asked cynically.
Law gave him a weak smile. "Anything is fine with me."
"Whiskey please." Sabo called out after Kid who left to get some glasses from the kitchen.
"For me too!" Ace exclaimed.
"Hell no! No ale for minors! Anc we don't need you to fall asleep on us with these people around:" he mentioned to the TV still airing something about Law's pursuers.
"Pfff.. No alcohol for minors? That smells like hypocrisy!" the freckled youth pouted, making Sabo laugh. The atmosphere lifted immediately.
"So what are we going to do about it?" the blonde finally asked after finishing his glass.
Kid just shrugged. "Kick their asses. What else? And than we get rid of the stupid ghost. Through I still can't believe something like that exists."
A wide grin appeared on Ace's face. "Sounds good. I am in."
Sabo just rolled his eyes. That was so typical for the two hotheaded idiots. "Law, what do you say?" he turned to their guest.
"I don't know. I am ready to try everything.." he grinned, his mood obviously improved thanks to the other two.
"Alright. I suggest we start with some research." Sabo decided.
The four men spend the rest of the afternoon with going through all of the history and science books they had, looking for any hints on ghosts or supernatural phenomena. There were quite a few articles about ghosts in some of Kid's weird books but nothing at how the hell they were supposed to get rid off one.
Around midnight, Sabo suggested that he would take Ace to the library tomorrow, as it was Saturday, and Kid and Law should browse the Internet.
"What is the Internet?" the tanned man asked, hearing the word for the first time.
"Umm.. how do you explain it?" Ace glanced to Sabo, who looked exactly like he felt: clueless.
"Kid, you are a teacher. You should be able to explain it.."
"Aaah. It's like a system of computers that is connected and hell. Ace, just look it up in a fucking dictionary or something. It is too late for that shit!" the redhead growled.
"You are falling back to your old habits." the freckled man grinned.
"Shut up, brat."
"We should all go to sleep. We are tired and tomorrow will be a long day." Sabo interfered, not wanting to deal with another of their stupid quarrels.
"Sabo, you know that we only have two beds and one couch.." Kid remarked.
The blonde froze as the realization struck him. They were four.
"I could go home." Ace suggested, yawning.
"Sure, and some old horny men kidnap and rape you on your way. Or even better, Garp kills you the moment you enter the house. Brilliant idea." Kid remarked sarcastically.
"I have insomnia anyway, so I won't be able to sleep anyway." Law spoke up, three heads shooting in his direction. They all wore worried expressions.
"Really?" the blonde asked.
"Yeah. I would like to stay up and read in the kitchen if it is possible." he gave the men a reassuring smile.
"I guess it is okay... But only for today!" Sabo agreed, obviously not very happy about it.
Like that, the brothers went to sleep, leaving Kid and Law alone in the kitchen. The former wanted to finish his drink, namely his bottle of rum, while Law already started reading a book about haunted castles.
They sat in silence for a long while. Kid liked the way the other was just present. It was nice, soothing.
"Are you sure you don't want to sleep?" the redhead asked as he stood up, putting the empty bottle next to the bin.
"Eustass-ya, I really have insomnia and there aren't enough beds anyway." Law replied, not even looking up from his book.
"My bed is big enough for the both of us." Kid shrugged, leaning against the sink and staring at the man sitting at the kitchen table.
"You are drunk." Law finally looked up.
"No I am not." the redhead smirked.
"You are!" the tanned man stood up.
"We have met before." the pale man stated, not moving an inch.
"What are you talking about?"
Instead of answering, Kid stepped forward and captured the others lips with his own, kissing him softly
"Shut up. We are going to sleep now." he whispered into the others ear. "I remember that you can sleep better when there is somebody next to you."
There was nothing Law could say to that. Kid was right after all.
