A.N. The tenth chapter! It's almost like an anniversary! For what? Don't ask me! It's just is… I think… Well I can promise you all a lot more chapters to come as I only started writing about Kidd and Luffy spending time together, the romance is still quite far away and I don't like it… That's why there will be many one shots (not for KiddLu, though I will make for them too :}) while I'm writing this! Okay, enough of my babbling, on to the story! :}
Kidd's POV
Went out of our room with Luffy following after, he locked the door and quickly caught up with me, he started walking next to me with a huge grin on his face. "So where is this zero floor?"
"It's beneath the first floor."
"Really? There's a floor like that? Awesome!"
I grunted and we walked down the stairs to the first floor, I didn't stop at the lobby and simply went under the staircase, there was a big door. I opened it and there was another staircase leading down, the light was on so it saved my trouble of finding a switch. "A hidden staircase! That's so cool!"
I looked at him with annoyed gaze; what is he a primary school student? "If you weren't late for a week you would know that there's a zero floor and it's designed for cases like these."
"Ohhhh, is that so… I was late because I over slept my boat and another was just after a week!"
I raised my eyebrow; from where did he come? I shook my head; this guy has been in my head for way longer then I would like… We reached the end of the staircase and walked into a modern looking corridor, its walls and ceiling was put in grey tiles, while floor – in black. Without stopping or hesitating I continued walking, Luffy didn't fall back. "Sooooo, where are we going?"
He just can't shut up, can he? I sighed. "There's a complex of corridors under the whole campus, they lead from one building to other and all of them cross under the canteen under which for what I know is another – underground canteen."
"Awesome!"
I rolled my eyes and we continued walking, after several minutes we reached glass door that led inside of the underground cafeteria. I opened the door and we walked in, while giving us a tour around the campus, they showed the door to the zero floor, but we didn't go in and during normal days it's locked. Of course I have plans of all campus and I know where all of the corridors lead, but there still hasn't been a chance to check them out.
The inside of cafeteria looked the same as the ones above – two walls occupied by buffet, the same looking tables that were placed in the same places. Canteen was almost empty, only several people were inside, I took a plate and started filling it soon I reached Luffy who was filling his third plate only with meat. I stared at him for several seconds; I think I saw someone eating so energetically before…
Eh, it doesn't matter; I sat at the first empty table and started eating, soon I was joined by my over energetic roommate. "Shey Hidd."
"What?"
"How is it going to be with lectures?"
I shrugged. "How am I supposed to know? They're probably going to get canceled, there's nowhere to have them."
Luffy gulped down several more chunks of meat. "So it means free time till the hurricane is over?"
I shrugged again; what am I? A fucking encyclopedia? Luffy started babbling something about the food being great, so I just tuned him out; I got better things I could think about right now. Like how mysterious my new roommate ended up being. When I first saw him I thought that he's just another wimp who came here to become a marine, but it turned out that he has a devil fruit. And there is no such thing as a weak devil fruit, there're only people who don't know how to use it, but it can be corrected easily with experimenting and training.
He also mentioned that he now has created a pirate group, that means that someone joined him, does Luffy have something that made someone trust him? Or did someone simply took a liking to him and decided to 'join him' while in truth tricked him into joining his group? There's also people who 'joins' while in truth they just take a bunch of people and make them create a group. And as you have to be in the same group during all years of university, it leads to a lot conflicts and drop outs…
"Kidd~ Kidd~"
"What now?!"
"You've been staring at me for five minutes already, so I thought you want to ask something."
I shook my head. "No, not really, it doesn't matter…"
Luffy tilted his head, but then saw something behind me, so he jumped up and ran off to somewhere; finally, some peace and quie…
"Kidd! Kidd! Meet Zoro, he's my first mate!"
My roommate had dragged with himself some green haired man with a cut across his left eye, there also was a long scar across his exposed chest, like someone had tried to cut him open… He also carried three swords at his right hip; a swordsman, huh? I looked into his eye just as he finished looking through me, I slightly nodded in acknowledgment and he nodded back. Then he turned around and started walking to somewhere, Luffy looked at me then turned to the Zoro-guy and grinned. "Zoro! Buffet is in the other direction!"
I could hear him grumble as he turned around and walked to the buffet. Luffy sat back into his seat and quickly finished what was left in it then he ran off to fill his plate again, I was finally left alone. The canteen started filling up with more people and Killer finally came. "Hey boss."
I just grumbled in response and he walked off to get himself a meal, Luffy came back running with two huge plates and Zoro after him. He sat in the seat he was sitting before and Zoro sat in his right. Both of them started eating and I sighed; is having some quiet time is too much to ask?
Soon Killer came back, he stopped at the table when he saw my companions, he looked through both of them and then sat at my right as the table had only four seats it was full. "I'm Killer, Kidd's right hand man and who would you to be?"
Killer's tone wasn't threatening, but it wasn't friendly either. Luffy gulped down whatever he was chewing. "I'm Luffy! Kidd's roommate! And this is Zoro – my first mate!"
Killer eyed the cheerful teen and then looked at me, then he turned back to me and I could feel him smirking. "Not a word Killer."
My blond friend chuckled lightly moved his mask a little and started eating, of course not before commenting my roommate. "You sure have some friends boss."
I kicked Killer's shin. "Like yours are better."
A.N. Okay, there's some friendship from Kidd's end, but I just can't make him a complete asshole, I seriously can't do that, sorry if you're disappointed… Well I still hope you enjoyed! :}
