Modern AU
-x-x-x-
Kid grumbled something crossly under his breath on his way to work. Trafalgar fucking Law was a piece of work and Kid hadn't the faintest idea why the hell he ever thought dating that sarcastic son of a bitch was a good idea.
Case in point, this morning, before Kid had stormed off, a shouting match of insults had occurred between himself and Law. That it wasn't a rare occurrence should have pointed out that perhaps the two of them in the same room wasn't the best idea…
The red head stopped short when he reached his workplace and realized very quickly that it was closed. No wonder Law had looked so damn smug when he'd left. Kid took a breath and let it out in frustration before he turned on his heel to go straight home.

Law was the picture of perfect innocence as well as indifference when Kid stormed into the apartment and slammed the door shut behind him. The dark haired man leaned against the kitchen counter and smirked at the seething red head by the door. "Did you have fun on your walk, Eustass?"
"Come over here and I'll tell you just how much fun I had." Kid said through gritted teeth.
"I'll pass." Law said dismissively. "Your way of telling me things usually turns physical. Which can be quite arousing in some instances." The dark haired man kept the kitchen counter between himself and Kid, who had made as if to go around it to get to him with an angry huff. "Careful, Eustass. Don't you remember the last time this happened? You were in bed, all alone, for a month. Would you care for a repeat of that?"
That statement seemed to make it through to Kid before the red head resumed his single minded quest to get his hands on Law.
The dark haired man cautiously kept out of reach, before calculating how quickly he could get to the bedroom and wait out Kid's obvious ire with him.
"You ain't going anywhere, asshole."
Law was about to snipe a response back when his brain informed him that the muscular red head had just vaulted partially over the counter at him. Law tried to backpedal but Kid'd closest hand fisted the front of his shirt and hoisted him onto the counter. Law's breath left him when the red head pressed him face down on the counter.
"Stop avoiding me." Kid growled as he slid off the counter to the floor.
Law attempted to get off the counter but the red head wouldn't let go of him. And before Law could protest, the red head tugged him closer.
"Bastard. Fucking getting me all hot." Kid said irritably.
"I suggest a glass of water if you're overheated." Law managed to get his feet on solid ground but knew from Kid's dark laugh against his back that he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
"Sarcasm ain't gonna help you here." The red head commented as he leaned over and slapped his hands onto the counter on either side of Law's shoulders. Kid's larger body forcefully pressed the dark haired man flush against the counter, emphasizing the red head's words. "I could do without your damn sass all day long."
"Funny. You say that like you don't like it." Law responded, testing how far he could move. At least, until Kid's warm breath hit the side of his neck and the red head was busily leaving a large and obvious hickey. Law hissed at the graze of teeth before speaking archly. "Stop that, you stupid brute. I need to go to work tomorrow and I'd rather not be marked up."
"Yeah? But about what you said before?" The red head bit down a little harder, grinning at the way Law faintly squirmed. "You know, that you think I like your sass? Right?" Kid moved to the other side of Law's neck, left a mark there and then flipped the other man around to face him, a lusty glint overtaking the previous anger. "I think you'll be calling in sick tomorrow so I can show ya exactly what your sarcasm does to me."
Law's argument that he had a fairly good idea was muffled by Kid stealing inside his mouth with his tongue. That stopped coherent thought for the most part.
"If you wanna go to work tomorrow, you better get the hell out of this apartment." Kid breathed in warning as he drew back to stare down at Law. The red head's muscular body was taut, indicating that Kid was trying very hard for some control over himself as he finished speaking. "Cause if you stay here, you won't be walking when I'm through with you."
Law shivered involuntarily at the promise before he reached up and dragged his hands through the red hair above him in brief thought. Then, with the slightest tug to bring Kid close, the dark haired man spoke, his lips purposefully brushing Kid's. "Make it worth it then. I don't call in sick for just a mediocre performance, you know."
Kid's eyes gleamed as he took Law at his words, and made every effort to make it 'worth it.'
To call what followed a mediocre performance would be putting things very mildly.

Law regretted pressing Kid so much, but it had been so worth it. The dark haired man shifted, winced, and then collapsed against the warm, sleeping body next to him. Again Law knew that Kid's muscular body and the red head's temper could certainly keep him on his toes, both in and out of the bedroom.
Kid let out a sigh and turned over, sleepily hooking an arm over Law's waist to pull him closer.
Law discreetly wiggled away but the red head half resting over him the next moment dashed any hope of escape from the bed. And then the sleepy exploration began and Law sagged into Kid's half awake touch.
As Law indulged in a lazy kiss, he wondered if he could get Kid to not use him as a pillow overnight. The sleepy nuzzling Law could deal with for the most part, so long as Kid didn't open his mouth and ruin things.
The silence didn't last for long, which was not a surprise at all.
"Your ass feel lonely this morning, Trafalgar?" Kid grinned. "I could help you with that."
Law felt no guilt whatsoever trying to smother a laughing Kid with a pillow after that, even if it did lead to more interesting things once the red head managed to relieve Law of said pillow.
