Hi again guys, hope you're fine and having a good holiday, cos I finally have holidays too. For god's shake, how long I have to endure the torture? But I'm fine and we all are fine. I have more time now, so I hope I can update more often, also I want to thank IcyTricia for correcting the chapter, really, you save my life T^T.
Guest: yeah, fuck the code, who needs rules and a society? just give up and go fuck Kidd XD I love your comment, I'm glad you liked the chapter, they are learning a little about each other in every passing chapter, but I don't know if Law would be able to control himself. Kidd would have to deal with it. Well,thanks for the coment n_n love and kisses to you n3n.
Valoche: Oui, il est triste, mais Lawty peut tout simplement pas ignorer un code qui a suivi toute sa vie pour un certain attrait, coûtera un peu plus d'effort par un Kidd ouverte alors ne vous inquiétez pas à propos de Kidd qui est sûr de finir par se venger XD
Comme pour les examens, oui, je enfin terminé, étudier la nutrition humaine et diététique à l'Université, Qu'est-ce que tu étudies? Un gros bisou.
Jay: I'm so happy to meet people who have also finish their exams, I understand your pain. In any case, if you are bussy or something to don't need to leave a review, really, focus on the important things, I'm not going to get angry or something.
About the fic, I'm glad you like the characterization of the characters, I understand you very well with Kidd, a lot of people write him loke a brute without brain, but in the manga he is intelligent, he even have this philosophical conversation with Killer, so yeah, I'm trying to give him a brain, but I still write him loke a brute because, well, it's still so much fun XD
Law on the other hand, yea it's difficult because he has this mystery and secret aura around him and he's just so proud and stoic, it's difficult to write a "normal" conversation with him in it. He's good at yelling in any case XD
About the last chapter, yeah, I loved to write the flight, It's one of my favorite scenes in the fic, because it's so personal whit al that telepathy and loneliness, but still so much cute and trilling. About the last part, I'm really sorry, but it has to happen, Law is lowering his berriers and he knows it, so he's kind of freaking out and Kidd is the one paying it. In any case, thanks a lot for the reviews n_n see you.
Well hope you like the chapter
Again the huge room shook beneath his powerful roar, the shelves trembled and the books in them danced threatening to fall out of place. The tall candles flickered on the table, spilling more jets of wax on the dark wood and creating clear paths to the ground turning white before he could do something about it. The whole world seemed scared by his angry presence.
Because Kidd went ballistic.
He had just returned to his room after the productive conversation he had with the tanned boy, and in truth, he still didn't know what had happened. He had apologized, he had given him one of the books from his treasure, his fucking treasure, but apparently the problem have been bigger than he thought, apparently the things had gone to hell more than he had wanted to recognize.
Kidd sat back on the bed, running a hand over his face, the pearl headboard hit the wall then emitting a strange crunch that sent a shiver of distaste up his spine, but Kidd ignored it. He turned in the bed and buried his face in the soft pillow and fluffy blankets.
The truth was that he was tired of fighting. The truth was that he no longer wanted to fight for something he knew he had no future with and it didn't mattered how he looked at it. Maybe he should give up, maybe he should release the boy, let him go and move on with his life. Back to normal and the calm he knew before he met the guy. He could also move, change his home base and lair, he had been in the dark valley for far too long and the dragon was again bored and asked for an adventure. Then the two would separate, and they would never meet again.
He forget it all then, he could start from scratch and would be free and unfettered.
Something in his soul stood against the idea. Okay, he would regain his cherished freedom and loneliness if he did it, but he would recover the boredom and monotony that had ruled his life so far. Also, something told him that separating from the dark haired boy was going to hurt him more than he thought. They may argue and they may hate each other but now Kidd couldn't imagine his life without teasing the little human and without the boy paying him back. He wake up every morning looking forward to seeing those gray eyes and brown skin and his mind instantly began to make plans for conquest and it was just too funny.
He just didn't want to leave him.
The thought of leaving him free, let him continue his life without him in it, caused him a strange fury. Law would raise a family then, he would find someone and live happily with her. The boy would surely be a good father and even a better husband, he was the dream of every woman, smart, sexy and strong. Kidd could almost see it in his mind. His hands tore the heavy wool blankets where he was in and he was unaware. The fabric had taken a black color and the room temperature had risen too. Kidd forced himself to regain control. Definitely that wouldn't happen. Never. The brown haired boy was his, shouted a possessive part of his mind; and Kidd couldn't agree more with it.
So what would he do? Spend his whole life with the gray eyed boy arguing and shouting? That wasn't healthy, and that would end up with both of them trying to kill each other. He had to solve this.
As much as he couldn't stand this anymore, as much as he wanted to give up he had to keep fighting for the little human, because the other option was to leave him and surrender to the idea of him in the arms of another person. Which was even worse. The mere thought was destroying something inside him.
But how could he do it? He had already tried everything and the human had left it very clear: nothing was going to happen between them. In addition Kidd knew that the dark haired boy was almost as stubborn as he was and that he wouldn't change his mind no matter what he did.
And then Kidd had an idea.
Sitting in the bed he smirked. Clearly, the human was just as stubborn as him. That was the secret. This wasn't an attempt to start a relationship to try and get along; it was rather a competition to know who could take more, to know who was more stubborn between the two of them: he insisting, or other screaming and resisting.
Kidd rose from the bed and went to the closet to dress in his eternal black pants.
The other wanted to fight. Well then he would fight too and insist and piss him off no matter how hysterical the other was. Until finally the boy couldn't stand it anymore and would jump into his arms begging him to shut up. If the human didn't understand what happened, Kidd would make him understand. If the other said that nothing would happen between them, he would prove him wrong.
Kidd left the room toward his treasure feeling satisfied with his decision and knowing what he had to do and how to do it. This would be his final attack and it would fuking work. Because getting up every morning with an erection and being unable to do something about it was killing his health.

A frustrated Law threw his heavy book in the bed and took another one from the stack of books on his left. The exorcist was lying on his bed with his feet on the wall and a layer of fur covering him slightly and maintaining his heat. Several books were scattered around him discarded or half read. They were interesting books, treatises written in languages forgotten long ago. They were the typical things that Law found fascinating enough to spend hours reading them. And yet he couldn't concentrate. The conversation they had had the previous evening was still repeating in his head over and over again. Every word he told and every expression the redhead had wearied after them.
As much as he refused to do it, he regretted what he had done. He had been very rough with the dragon. The surprised and painful look Kidd had made was still etched in his mind screaming at him for being an idiot. And what's more, the fact that the dragon refused him a favor didn't justify how angry and pissed he had been, he had no right to start screaming like a rabid teenager. It was normal that the redhead forbid him from going out of the cave, Law understood, although they began to get along, there were still several obstacles to overcome.
'There are still obstacles to overcome for what?' Law asked himself. What was he going to do with the Dragon? What did he want?
Law scowled and glared at the dark wood ceiling with his metallic eyes. The books he had been reading were instantly forgotten and Law simply stroked the soft fur coat covering him completely distracted.
He got along with the dragon. Surely if they had met in any other situations and under other circumstances they would have ended up being friends. Kidd was a typical proud and arrogant man Law loved to piss off between jokes and jars of beer, and he also seemed to be liked by the dragon as well. He remembers the journey through the clouds where Kidd had been laughing at him with jokes as he showed him the great and dark valley with affection. Both were also intelligent, lacked manners, civic sense, and could defend themselves in a fight without the slightest problem. They simply had too much in common.
So that was it? He wanted a friend? Someone to joke with and have fun after years of training and loneliness?
Interestingly the answer was no. Law had friends in the Vatican, or at least what could be considered as friends for an exorcist. Like many things in his Spartan education, he had been forbidden to have friends or colleagues, he had been forbidden to build relationships and emotional bonds that could be used against him or that might distract him from his duties. Law still shared a kind of a secret friendship with other exorcists who had accompanied him on some of the missions entrusted to them. It was necessary to find some understanding and people who shared your problems within an association as radical as the Vatican. It was necessary to maintain the little mental health they had left while they were trained until they become dispensable machines.
So could it couldn't be that, not a friend... then what the hell he wanted?
Law look back on their relationship from start to finish. The dungeon, the strange interrogations and attempted murder, they had made the deal then and ... Law blushed remembering the slap on his ass, the stupid flirtation or bathroom incident. He growled frustrated and rolled restless on the bed to hide his face in the undone sheets.
Of course, the other had been jumping at him every time he could since they had made the deal and clearly the dragon was trying to go somewhere with him. Kidd had made it perfectly clear that he wanted something more than the prisoner-jailer relationship or just a plain friendship. Law initially hadn't given a fuck about it, it was a stupid new form of torture, it had been even fun to watch his stupid and fruitless advances, but the problem was what he thought now. Now after flying with him, after spending time with the beast, after blushing and getting aroused every time he remembered about the bathroom incident.
Did he like the dragon now?
The idea was absurd. Downright absurd. The mere fact that his mind even insinuated it was horrifying, they were men, and from different species, it was simply impossible. But that didn't deny the obvious, he thought after analyzing his reactions at that time. As much as he would like to resist the advances of the other, they had worked and he couldn't deny the excitement and desire that had arisen within him. He had liked Kidd's attempts, the cheap flirtations, the languid glances the dragon kept throwing at him and the obvious sexual tension between them both. He liked that someone was interested in him for the first time in a sexual way, that someone tried to seek his attention and please him. It made him feel alive and loved rather than the dispensable tool that the Vatican had always ensured he was.
He liked it. What it was terribly wrong. Law was on the edge of the cliff and he knew it. He only have to go a step further and he would fall into the darkness. He didn't know how he had reached this point, he had always played in the thin line of what was right to do and what was not, but he had always been able to get away if necessary. This time however he didn't trust himself. It was too risky, he had played with fire, with the dragon, and he had inevitably burn.
It pissed him.
He shouldn't have ended in this situation, he had always been smart and he had learned to defend himself and know his limits. So, it doesn't matter how much he regretted having said what he had said that evening to the dragon, it had been the right thing to do, he had to redraw the line, he had to separate from the dragon or he didn't know what he would eventually do.
So Law, even though he knew it wasn't right, wasn't going to apologize. Because if he did, they would return to the friendship and the sexual tension and Law would be on the brink of the abyss again. And this time Law knew that he would jump into it without looking back.

Kidd returned to knock strongly on the wood door for the eighteenth time in the day and, like the previous times, a good five minutes passed by before the little human opened the door of his room.
Kidd could imagine the gray eyed man completely happy to anger him with that stupid door, but it didn't matter, after all, he have been spending all day pissing him off even further. So he waited patiently for the boy to get up from the bed where Kidd heard he was lying, stretched with ease and walk barefoot to the door to open it.
Kidd ignored the murderous and completely tired look the boy dedicated him, again on his doorstep, and he simply smiled.
"What do you want this time? Did you forget something from your visit five minutes ago?" Law asked with the purest and more crystalline hate Kidd had never heard.
Kidd smiled innocently and, ignoring the boy's question, he held out a small chest with golden Arabic decorations and full of precious stones in various shades of gray. Hematitas, onyx, gray sapphires, dark obsidians, opals and other stones of different sizes and shapes almost overflowed the small chest.
Kidd had seen it by chance while walking through his treasure, but instantly the color of the stones had reminded him of the eyes of the boy and he had known he had to give it to the human. Although now that he had the stones and the boy in front of him, he could swear that they could never do justice to the mixture of metallic tones that were of the boy's eyes.
Law meanwhile looked at the chest with the bored look of someone who has done the same thing a thousand times, then he looked at the face of Kidd and raised an eyebrow in a gesture that was an insult to his intelligence in itself. Kidd, entertained with the situation, held his evil laugh which fought to get out of his throat.
They had been doing that all afternoon.
Kidd grabbed something from his treasure, anything, and went to the boy's room to give it to him as an apology. He had brought books, weapons, jewelry, sculptures and all that could be considered of value from his treasure. But Law just rejected everything pushing it against his chest, or throwing it at his face as it had happened with the weapons. Whatever it was. Although his eyes glisten excited with books with formulas of ancient medicines, he always refused them, screamed at the dragon and closed the stupid door in his face.
Then Kidd would put the book or whatever he had brought in front of the human room denying that rejection, and he would return to his treasure for something else to give to the human. Five minutes later he would be knocking at Law's door again without worrying about anything.
They had been like this for all the damn morning and, therefore, his treasure was piled in huge mountains in front of Law's door in what would be the greatest gift anyone could receive.
Kidd knew it was strange. He was giving his treasure, what he wanted and needed most in the world, to a human. Dragons didn't share much less gave away their treasure. It was simply unthinkable. There had never been any human who had saw something like that, no one ever told legends of that kind, he would be taken for a madman and publicly ridiculed by those who hear it. But Kidd knew what he was doing and why, he really understood what it meant and he didn't mind in the least to give all his treasure to the temperamental boy.
It was a kind of mating ritual for them with the only exception that, unlike other predators that did it every year with a different partner for the sole purpose of increasing their species, they only did it once in their life and with only one person.
Technically dragons had to wait for the perfect partner, the one that had been created just for them. His other half. Supposedly when they found it, their instincts will scream at them instantly who she was, and both of them would feel so much attraction for each other that even, if they try to resist and run away from the bond, they couldn't return to live without the other person at their side. At the end they always ended up together, no matter what they did. Indeed, once the link progressed to the point of no return, Kidd would be tied to his partner and die if the other died, the pain would be unbearable to stand. It happened to him and all the other dragons from this world along with some other predators who shared an animal part with a human soul. It was old magic. Forgotten millennials ago.
What was always the problem. They were dragons; they lived the magic and feel every little change in it, so when the bond happened it was like a huge ball hitting your face. But humans and many other creatures that could be paired with them totally ignored the magic. A demon could materialize in front of them and they would be completely unable to see it. They were as blind and lost as a child as far as magic was concerned.
So the union could be their end. Once they saw their mate, due to the attraction that the two souls felt, the dragon would do everything he could to get the human. To make it his. But his partner would totally ignore what was going on since he couldn't feel the link, and he could just go on with his life and marry another one ignoring the dragon attempts. And without his other half, the link that pushed them together will eventually drive the dragon crazy, killing him out of desperation.
The stories of such couples never ended well. So, if the dark was what Kidd thought it was, he couldn't give up. He had to have Law, he had to have him for eternity, and he had to start the mating ritual the sooner the better. Not only because his instinct was screaming for him to do it since the first time he had seen the gray eyed boy, but for its own sake and Law's one.
So, when his little human picked up the chest between his pale hands and sighed wearily, Kidd internally prayed that this time the boy would forgive and accept the chest. But as always, Law returned to throw the box against his chest without giving it a second glance.
"I told you it won't work" he said tired and with his brow furrowed "Stop doing this" the ordered sending a fulminant look at the mountains of treasures piled on his door, but pausing longer than necessary at the books.
"Then forgive me" Kidd said without much concern, smiling happily but still a bit forced.
Law glared back at him.
"You don't understand it do you? I'm not going to forgive you, doesn't matter what you do, it will not happen" and, as to finish the conversation he tried to shut the door in his face again.
Kidd however stopped him this time, and quickly interposed between the frame and the door of dark wood. Law growled low while Kidd threw the golden box with the stones causing them to scatter around the floor, and entered the room.
"Why not? Is it so hard to forgive me? It's so horrible what I have done?" He asked starting to get mad with the human stubbornness.
He had thought that the stones would work this time, he had had a hunch. Kidd began to get angry and feel frustrated. He didn't know what else to do, What if Law always rejected him? What if this was one of those sad stories of couples that ended in bloodstained and death because they haven't been able to accept the other?
"You know that's not the reason" Law said, backing up a few steps away from Kidd in the room, annoyed by his proximity and little respect of his privacy.
Kidd glanced around the messy room of the dark haired boy, with books and clothes scattered everywhere on the floor, before stopping the man standing in the middle of it.
"So why is it? Why it's so hard to forgive me? Please explain it to me because I don't understand" Kidd said starting to move to the carpet in the middle of the room while the other drew back instinctively. Started cornering him against the wall.
"Because you're my enemy, why don't you get it? You're the monster I have to kill" Law screamed feeling increasingly trapped against the dragon that kept moving. Trapped with his insistence and lack of brain, trapped in the situation where they were. Why didn't he understand it? Why couldn't Kidd leave him alone and return to the initial situation of disgust and hate?
And then, as if Kidd had been listening in on his thoughts, he stopped in front of him frozen.
'Monster'. The word echoed through the dragon's mind with a distant echo. It had been a long time since someone had called him that, so long that Kidd had virtually managed to forget that part of his life. But now everything came back like a hit in his gut. The wars, the persecutions, torture and assassination attempts towards his race. Towards his family. But the memories weren't the ones that made him explode in a fit of rage, what made him mad was the fact that it had been the boy the one who had called him that.
His mate.
With anger Kidd pushed Law and cornered him between his body and the wall. His hands, raised on both sides of the boy's head, instantly broke the dark wood, in an attempt to restrain himself and do no harm to the gray eyed boy. He would not harm the boy. Never. Whatever happened and whatever the human said. He would never forgive himself.
Law however looked surprised by the sudden attack and how quickly Kidd had moved, but for the first time, he said nothing and remained silent. Expectant.
"What did you say?" Kidd asked with a voice that sounded more like an animal growl than a question.
Law brow furrowed for a moment confused by the question, but finally he understood what the dragon was talking about. Woah, the dragon was so sensitive to a little word?. An angry and vengeful smile filled his face. Because that was what they had to do, fight, hate and kill each other. They had to separate. He had to redraw the line.
"Monster?" He repeated slowly, savoring the word in his mouth "Well, you kill, steal and destroy everything, that's what you are, little monster, accept it" he said cruelly smiling.
Kidd roared in his face and Law trembled between his arms. Interestingly, unlike the fight they had in the kitchen when the redhead had also roared at him, Law had no fear or panic attack this time. Only an adrenaline rush that made his heart beat much faster than it should.
"Shut up" Kidd shouted in his face " You don't know what you're saying, you do not know what…"
"I know it perfectly well" the tanned interrupted also starting to shout, starting to get mad about the whole situation and looking for an excuse to yell back at the insistent dragon "perhaps you think I didn't saw what you did with the village, the lives you took, the families …"
Kidd roared again. Louder this time. Law closed his eyes feeling his head spinning and his ears whistle with the power of sound. He was beginning to want to punch the noisy beast. It was almost becoming a compulsion.
"You don't understand" Kidd growled with blazing eyes and the room temperature unbearable "I had a motive, they threatened me, they did .. ."
"Bullshit" Law interrupted him again also shouting, feeling like he was drowning between the man and the wall at his back "You had no reason, you didn't also have it the last time we argue and you went out to destroy the village to calm yourself, you..."
Kidd stopped thinking. His mind stopped reacting as Law keeps shouting at him. Accusing him unfairly. He knew nothing, he didn't know his history, he didn't understand what he did. And yet he was his other half. He was still calling him a monster and he was still shouting at him.
And he was still his mate.
So Kidd did the only thing he could think to silence the boy. Drawing near a few centimeters into the human personal space, he caught Law's lips with his own in a sudden kiss.
Silence filled the small room instantly and time stopped. Kidd felt something inside him sigh and relax. The calm came over him and the world rightened himself to where it should be.
And then he opened his eyes and realized what the hell he was doing. He realized that he had managed to do what he had been planning for several days, and this time, without even thinking. For a moment he stood still, not knowing if Law would respond to the kiss or if he would launch his sorry ass to the wall and finally kill him as Kidd knew he deserved.
But while the little human decided what to do, Kidd, as the healthy and intelligent man he was, took advantage of the situation without remorse, and devoured Law's mouth eagerly.
And this is how I like to finish a chapter, fuking yeah ψ(`∇´)ψ
