This chapter happens around an hour after the last.

Warnings for this chapter: Implied shock and emotional trauma


Kid risks Law's displeasure by embracing him in the crowded hallway; the Omega is so obviously fighting to keep himself together that Kid can't neglect trying to comfort him. Law buries his face in his shoulder; he's shaking and Kid tightens his arms around him.

"C'mon," he murmurs. "I'll take you home, make us something to eat, and we'll nest. How does that sound?"

"Please," Law answers; voice soft and fragile.

Kid presses a kiss to his hair, keeping one arm around the smaller teen's waist as he heads down the hallway. Law sinks into his side, and Kid feels even more protective than usual.
