Past Summer

Chapter 7 – Inch Closer

~o0o~

The room sprung alive with the rhythmic beat of repetitive music. It echoed through the expansive nightclub and mixed with the sounds of his fellow dancing school mates. Law focused his attention on the large crowd of people as he backed from the dance floor. A thick fog covered their glistening flesh as they rubbed together to the beat of the music. Bright lights swirled around capturing each movement. After being forced by his two friends to dance, Law finally was able to take a seat at the bar. A female student in his class came over and ordered him a drink. Surprisingly, the delicious fusion of coconut and pineapple juice with a shot of vodka was causing a amazing afterglow. He'd already drank four different types of cocktails since arriving. All giving to him by his fellow students. To say he was feeling a bit tipsy would be true.

Breathing in the smell of spilled alcohol, sweat, and perfume. Law embraced the alone time. It might be his birthday but this wasn't the way he'd want to celebrate it. The party scene wasn't for him. But, out of respect for Penguin and Shachi, he didn't object or cause a fuss.

"Only you would be sat on your own at your own birthday." A voice asked and Law looked over to the man. Ace, a boy from his class, held out a strange pink drink . Law expected it and placed it beside his nearly empty glass. He thanked the freckle man and smiled, "Come on Law, why don't you come dance with me? I'll make sure to treat you right."

Law rolled his eyes, "Sorry, no."

"Suit yourself. Enjoy your drink." Ace stuck his tongue and planted a kiss on Law's cheek, "One for luck." He quickly ran off to find his brother.

Chuckling to himself, Law sipped his drink. Ace meant nothing by his action. He was a flirt, nothing more.

Downing the rest of his drink, Law adjusted himself in his seat and waited for his boyfriend to arrive. If Penguin hadn't told him Kid was going to come, Law wouldn't be sat here right now. He'd hoped Kid had arrived at the beginning but three hours in the man still hadn't shown up. A slight doubt that the redhead wasn't coming. It was a big risk after all.

Starting the drink Ace bought him, he swore he saw a flash of red entering the bar. Maybe his drunk mind was playing minds on him.

"Happy birthday." A low, southern voice purred in his ear.

Law shivered as he turned to his boyfriend with a seductive smirk, "Eustass, a pleasure like always. I nearly lost hope." His voice was drenched with lust but who could blame him. The redhead had come wearing a white t-shirt and black jeans.

"The pleasure will be all yours." Kid flirted, eyes glazing down the man. A black, tight buttoned shirt clung to Law's perfect body. He stopped himself from taking the man right there on the bar.

Law chuckled and drank the pink drink. He swallowed it slowly, his eyes keeping connected with his boyfriends. "It better be tonight."

"I dropped your present off at yours."

Law laughed that Kid was in his house. Why he found it funny puzzled him. "I can't wait, where are your friends?" Directing his eyes back to his glass, he watched the liquid splash against the walls of the glass cup. It felt strange the two were being so open in public. He just wanted to kiss the man but that would be crossing the line.

Kid watched the dance floor for a moment and realized some girls gossiping and pointing towards them. "There were two girls outside wanting a lift to the Underworld bar. The guys were all too happy to drop them off...first they wanted to boot Heat out the car but I made a scene, called them all dickheads and stormed off."

"You quite close with the Zombie looking one," Law commented.

"Not really," He bluntly put, not really adding much detail. However, Law knew there was something strange between the two. Defending himself was useless, Kid had past with Heat.

"Tell me the truth Kid." Law might be treading on enemy territory, but he felt a strange string of jealously from hearing his own words. Like saying Kid was hiding something.

Kid took Law's drink and tasted it, "This is good." He tried to change the subject. However, Law held a stern look. "Agh, fine. When I first met Heat he was a wreck. Some guys had messed around with him because he looks different. Anyway, I beat these guys up and now I and Heat are friends. You happy now?"

Law felt offended by the rush tone and the aggressive snap at the end, "You didn't have to tell me."Taking back his drink, he shrugged his shoulders. Thinking about it, Kid's little story was a sweet.

Kid sighed, "Sorry. I just don't like talking about it."

Law nervously smiled at him before changing the subject altogether, "So...my present." He hinted and moved closer to Kid.

"I'm not telling you. You just have to wait and see" Kid hissed playfully and smirked when Law frowned.

Pouting, the older man stood and met eyes with the same girls that Kid had caught looking at. "People are getting suspicious." Law finished his drink, "Go to the park I'll meet you there."

"Okay."

~o0o~

The well-known Grand Line Park laid empty and still, its beauty disguised by the midnight sky however, leaving a mysterious and haunting atmosphere. A single river lay besides the park, it's motionless and dark colour contrasted with the city lights and created a breath-taking sight over the salty water. The vast amount of lights from the buildings that seemed far away lit up some of the park's pier. An echo of distant cars and running water ran around the deserted park let anyone to believe this was abandoned.

Kid stood looking down at the river. His head full of thoughts. He was getting bored of this act between him and Law. Sometimes he wished they'd just come clean. Fuck the bullshit from others, they shouldn't be ashamed to hid who they are. Law was his boyfriend of more than two months. Sneaking out of places to see each other...Pattering of feet on the ground made him turn around. Before he could realise who it was his lips were crushed in a demanding kiss. Suddenly, the thoughts disappeared. Law backed away from his boyfriend with a smile, "Let's go home Kid, I want to just watch a film."

"Come on." The two men walked besides each other. The rush of the night club had passed and the cold was welcomed to both men. A comfortable silence grew between them. Law's cold fingers accidentally brushed against Kid's warm ones. The touch and heat made Law's hand flinch suddenly. His breath cutting short in shock. It might have been a mere accident but Law couldn't deny how he wanted to have those warm hands within his. The urge to hold hands with another person felt weird. They were close yet Law demanded closer.

As if reading his boyfriend's mind, Kid grasped Law's hand with his own, their fingers weaving together and clutching at one another tightly.

Law couldn't help the growing smile. He felt like a child when he was with Kid. Constantly being spoilt by the man. It wasn't the intention, Kid probably didn't even though what he was doing. He mustn't have known how these simple gestures were causing Law to lose himself ever so slightly.

Law considered himself as a mysterious man. Perpetually wearing a mask which hid his true emotions. How Kid had broken him down until the mask lay in pieces on the ground. Made him feel like this. To want someone as bad as he wanted Kid. To need someone as bad as he needed Kid.

Law didn't want to appear as if he was being foolish, acting like a teenage girl with a crush. Still, these overwhelming and frankly shocking feelings wouldn't just leave him alone. And he couldn't be bothered to ignore them anymore.

"Kid." A quiet voice sang out in the silence. It reached its receiver ears and made the man hum as a response. Law stopped and Kid turned to face the man with confusion, "Kid...do you think this is crazy?"

The redhead was confused at the sudden outbreak. He couldn't match up what Law was speaking off, "What do you mean?"

The normal bored looking dull grey eyes, the one that had been smashed open and released from the prison of his emotionless mask, were now gleaming in a maze of bewilderedness. Catching Kid's eyes with his own, he noticed the golden eyes questioning him. "This." He said slowly, "Us." He gulped and tightened his grip on Kid's hand, "Are we crazy for being together?"

It was strange for someone like Law to doubt something he'd already done. Kid was taken aback by the question. And he wondered, what had brought this up suddenly. Was Law having second thoughts of their relationship? Had he done something to offend the older man?

"No." Kid whispered, he never meant for his voice to sound so weak yet he couldn't help his mind wander free with questioned he dared ask, "I don't think this is crazy."

Law nearly laughed, his point totally different, "I do." Muttered Law. "I can't believe you of all people are my boyfriend. We hated each other last year and now we practically share the same bed."

Kid responded with a light chuckle and released Law's now warm hands. Walking away Kid thought about what Law had said. It was true how easy they had excepted one another. As past enemy's he'd expected time, yet ever since they first kissed, they haven't once held themselves back. Nervousness from being together only happened once or twice when they first had sex. Nevertheless, when they were together just talking, they spoke freely liked they had been friends for years.

Kid's bottom rested on the cold wood of the bench, he glanced out to the river and watched the light dance above it. "When did we hate each other?" He spoke slowly and closed his eyes, laying his face on his hands. Kid felt strange, he couldn't describe what was jetting through his veins. An unusual confidence that he gained when he was surrounded by his boyfriend. And only his boyfriend. The type of confidence that made him speak his mind. Let him say whatever he wanted without the fear of being questioned. They never once hated each other. Thinking about on the arguments, was it just sexual tension? Was the stares, sneers and snippy comments merely just them wanting attention from one another.

"I never hated you, Kid." Law's voice was quiet and embarrassed. He sat beside Kid and sighed deeply, "Sometimes I wonder why it ever started. Before you even began at the school, I and Killer were always in arguments. Mostly about my sexuality. Then when you jumped out the blue, I was kind of shocked. You weren't like most people. You were loud, obnoxious and a pain in the ass. But you did interest me. I think Killer noticed that...you became friends with him...I don't think I could stop liking you so much. I wanted you and if bickering with you was my only chance to be close to you then..."

Kid could only describe this feeling like a punch in the stomach. His eyes blew open in shock as he stared at the man in disbelief. Gawking at him. Kid nearly felt himself pass out. Did he hear right? Did Law just...oh God he felt his heart pound against his chest. Wanting burst out. Kid didn't respond, however, showed that actions speak louder than words.

Moving closer, Kid tilted Law's head up and connected their lips in a soft, meaningful kiss. It was slow but filled with so much emotion that either man never knew they possessed.

When they broke apart, Kid had let three words tumble out his mouth, "I love you." Law gawked and he moved backwards in shock. He glared at Kid with doubt. "Shit, shit, shit. It's to soon-I. You know what, fuck it. I love you Law!" Why Kid had started to yell caused Law to frown. The man looked so achieved and happy. Kid didn't care if anyone heard him, he was glad to have fallen for Law. A warmth pooled at Law's stomach before he reacted to the screaming man.

"Eustass-ya, I heard you the first time. Calm down." Law muttered and blocked his hurting ears. He couldn't conceal the overwhelming feeling he felt when Kid said those words. Without noticing, his face lit up with a bright smile. "If you don't I'll be the one on top tonight."

Kid grinned when he saw Law smile. Standing, he raised his hand, "Then shall we go?"

~o0o~

A hot mouth collide with another, connecting together like a puzzle piece into a fierce demanding kiss. Law's wet tongue defeated over Kid's, begging for entrance. His attempts were successful as Kid opened his mouth and let Law play with his eager tongue.

The wannabe doctor quickly opened the door, his lips staying attached to Kid. As soon as the entered the house, Kid took the lead and pushed the older man against the door, swiftly locking and throwing the front door key away.

Law growled and pushed Kid back, causing the redhead to tumble on the living room floor with Law falling on top. Law's efforts to be dominating was surely noted by Kid. The erection that tented in the man's tight jeans was causing the raven haired boy to stir on top of his own. He was horny and Kid knew he couldn't hold back Law's intentions. "I can't believe this is actually going to happen..." Law muttered to himself, though his hands were already stripping Kid of his clothing.

Once he laid naked, Kid nodded and indicated he was ready when Law was. Looking embarrassed, Law took off his own jeans and revealed his eager cock. Kid gently stroked the member in his hand, hearing a delightful moan from his lover.

"Are you 100% sure about this Kid?" Law mumbled uncertain, until, the annoyed redhead wrapped his strong legs around Law's waist and slammed the wannabe doctor into his own needy dick. Law grunted in shock as his cock lay above Kid's. It wasn't long until Law's talented hands ran over the hard muscles that he so loved. Kid shivered when the cold hands touched his overheated, aroused skin. A shock groan escaped Kid as Law fingers ran farther up his body until reaching his hard nipples. A slight nip made him flinch in shock and stare at Law's confused. The man was smirking his head off, his lip lapping against his erected nipple.

"Law?" Kid questioned, his naked brow raising only to fall when Law bite harshly against him. He had no idea what Law was going to do, but he couldn't care less. The man looked so sexy as he kissed every inch of Kid's pale chest.

Lowering his lips down to the abbs, Law kissed softly over each raging muscle. Kid had no idea what Law as doing, or where he had learnt such things. The tongue was driving him crazy. Dominance was pointless as this just felt he could not stop Law. His cool kisses cooled down his body to an extent he found himself getting harder. Kid had no idea how that made sense but it did.

Slowly, a hand trailed down to this neglected cock, earning a gasp of shock. Law chuckled he wanted to tease Kid some more but he couldn't hold on much longer. Law wanted to feel Kid. Inside Kid. All the moans, groan, whispers and begs.

The redheads large member was twitching and wet with arousal. Law eyes darkly moved to Kids and he crashed his lips on the man. The kiss turned more passionate as both men melted into it. Law taking control of the situation. Kid saw now a problem, he had no idea what was bubbling in his boyfriends head. What his boyfriend was going to do to him.

A hand wrapped harshly around Kid, a loud moan exiting the redhead lips. Kid shivered in anticipation and thrust in the hand. Starting slowly, moving up and down and sending waves of pleasure down Kid's back and sending to his throbbing erection. Law knew Kid liked it, the expression showed it all. His boyfriend was so sexy when fired up.

Law was far from a virgin, his experience with men was transparent. Kid had known Law had been with other men, how much he want to claim to be Law's first, he could never. It irritated him to think someone had touched Law, been kissed by the same lips. Nevertheless, he knew he was the only person to see Law like this. To make Law lose complete control.

"What's wrong?" Law asked concerned, his hand stop what it was doing, he was annoyed Kid seemed distant while he was jerking him off.

A hand lifted Law head to Kid's face, "I was serious when I said I love you." he said truthfully. Kid never lied and he won't joke around about it. The hand tightened on his cock and Kid back arched in shock, "SHIT!"

The look in Law's eyes frightened Kid, so confused and worried, "I thought you were joking."

Kid eyebrows twitched, "Why the fuck would I joke about something like that."

Law smiled softly, butterflies filling his stomach. Kid got so angry over silly things.

Opening Kid's naked legs, he rested between them and removed his shirt. He didn't respond and took out the lube and condom from Kid's trousers. He just knew the man had come prepared. The idiot was so easy to read.

"Kid." Law growled fiercely, lust laced in his voice, "I'm going to fuck you."

Kid brows drove half-way up his forehead, he gulped and blushed, "L-law?" Agh, he didn't want to appear nervous but fuck, he never been fucked down there. Law teased him, slipped a finger in once or twice. But he never thought Law would actually want to fuck him. It wasn't like Kid didn't want to but...he didn't want to appear sissy... "You know what, fuck it! I'm not afraid of a challenge. Fuck me Law!" Barking out the commands, Kid spoke as if he was giving a speech. Cheering himself on.

Law just chuckled and pecked Kid, "Stop commanding me or I'll chain you up."

Kid shut up but grinned back.

Wetting his finger, Law slipped one finger inside him until it stopped at the knuckle. Kid shouldn't really be bothered by being fingered as it's happened once or twice. Yet, Kid still clenched around his slender finger. Slowly, he moved his finger steadily, watching Kid's face. The man gave Law a sharp nod and the wannabe doctor added another. Soon, three fingers were wiggling around the tight space. Kid moaned in Law's ear, making Law feel himself grow harder than he already was. If that's possible.

"Kid?" Law whispered seductively, fingers prodding against the wet, warm walls, "I'm going to put it in."

Kid's heart pounded against his chest, the beating making music with his own heart. They were going to do this. To take the last step in the relationship. Law was excited, it's a long time since he'd topped a man. Capturing Kid in a deep kiss, Law removed his fingers slowly, still watching Kid cautiously. Kid flopped back on the floor and prepared himself to the unknown. The suspense built as Law ripped open the condom and placed it on. He added another layer of lube and looked up to Kid. The redhead had his eyes closed and waited.

Inching closer, Law positioned himself and with one thrust, he started to embed himself in his lover. Kid hissed at the dull stretch yet bared the pain when he saw the pleasured face of his partner. Getting a grip on Law, he pulled him back until the man started in a rhythm. A moan from Kid was enough for Law to move. Soon each thrust was meet by his desperate lover. "Fucking-mmh-hell" Kid said between shallow breathes in a sensual tone. Each word sending Law over the edge. The raven-haired gave out a grunt as he felt the walls clamp down on his sensitive member.

Nothing else seemed to matter as Law pounded into the redheads ass. With every thrust, Law felt the end coming closer. Capturing the man in a harsh kiss, Law hand soon got to work on the ignored cock laying between him and Kid. By luck, he rubbed against a bundle of nerves in Kid which sent the redhead tossing and turning below him. The pressure around Law's cock tightened and the raven haired released himself with a gruff moan. Before Kid had time to argue, Law's mouth closed around his own. The hand on my cock got to work finishing him off and soon Kid came in his lovers hand. Coming down from their high, Kid murmured something. But his words fall on deaf ears. Law looked down at his heavy breathing lover. With a tug of his hips he exit himself and discarded the used condom. Law smiled at blushing man. He couldn't help but feel like Kid was at his mercy.

"Shall we go to bed or do you prefer the floor?" Law teased as he stood up.

Kid attempted to stand, but the saying 'jelly legs' suited his situation. "Fuck you parallelized me."

"Don't be daft, grab my hand, you idiot."
