Past Summer

Chapter 14 - The End?

Law was regretting allowing both his and Kids friends in his house. First, there was only two three-seat sofa's and . Second, the coffee maker could only make two drinks at a time. And third, the tension was unbearable. It was suffocating. Penguin was glaring at Kid, Kid was glaring at Killer and Killer eyes were darting around the room nervously. Heat looked like he was about to scream. Wire was...emotionless like always. Shachi seemed the normal one and sat in what seemed like an opened eyes sleep. Law walked in the kitchen slowly, although his legs had no bad damage, he still felt sore. He wanted to smash all their faces in. Especially Kid's and Penguin's. What was wrong with them. He'd forgiven Killer so shouldn't Kid and Killer be friend by now. Looks like that's a no. Law wasn't good with drama. Penguin hated stares to Kid was starting to annoy him. Penguin had been first to know yet he was the one who had a big problem with it

Footsteps were heard behind him and he saw Heat anxiously inching his hand like something was wrong. "Do you need any help?" He offered as he closed the kitchen door behind him. Now Law was suspicious.

"Of course, but you don't have to close the door."

"I want to talk to you alone, if you don't mind."

Law knew it. His brows bounced as he took a cup, and then another, from the cupboard with one hand. The over one was still in a cast and useless. Switching on his coffee machine, he let the black liquid pour in both cups as he turned and gave Heat his full attention. With a soft smile, Heat went to say what he needed to say before two loud voice interrupted their conversation.

"He's the asshole who put Law in hospital, not me. So stop blaming me!"

"I knew you couldn't look after him, you're a pathetic excuse of boyfriend! You don't deserve Law."

Law face dropped and he rolled his eyes at the sound of Kid's voice. He could only guess the other voice was Penguin. He felt tempted just to kick those idiots out. But, sadly, he would regret it. Apologizing to Heat, he stepped out the kitchen. And with a firm kick – making sure to ignore the pain. The living room door flung open and a sarcastically smiling Trafalgar Law entered. The argument dropped dead as soon as Kid and Penguin caught glimpse of the deadly smile.

"I hope you don't find me being rude. You know, being injured and that you're in my house. But I'm attempting to have a conversation with Heat. So..." A flash of danger stuck down Penguin's and Kid's spines. "Shut the fuck up or I'll get my army of Bepo's on you." With that the wannabe doctor left.

Penguin and Kid gulped loudly and exchange looks of fear. Only now noticing the dent in the wall from the impact of the kick Law had reinforced on the door. Shachi, being the only one who wasn't affected by the broken wall, spoke out, "How the hell did you beat him up Killer?" Maybe it was uncalled for. But Killer chuckled.

"Don't laugh you fuck face!" Kid grounded out and snapped an extra spicy hated glare to his best friend.

Killer rolled his eyes, giving up with the routine. He paid attention to his burst knuckles for a moment before having the courage to speak up, "I'll laugh if I want to. I don't know who you think you are."

A mistake in the future, but Killer got two looks of respect from Shachi and Wire. They seemed to agree. Penguin still didn't like Killer and either said something against the man, "Why are you still in here? I mean. Your best friend hates you, I hate you..."

"Er...It's not that big."

"Hey. It's not about size. Do you want to touch it? Watch it, go gentle."

An awkward silence as the five men exchange worried looks. Kid clenched his fist and burst in the kitchen. What he expected – damn his dirty mind – was Law laid on the ground will Heat was...well. That's not what welcomed him. Instead, Law stood straight holding small Bepo while Heat touched the soft white beat. "Eustass, you look as white as a sheep?" Law asked shocked.

Kid shook his head to rid the thoughts. "I guess I – I just thought – never mind."

Wary, Law thought back to his and Heat's dialogue and he nearly blushed like a virgin. He even stated how strange that would be, "You think Heat was stoking me?"

Heat blushed madly, holding small Bepo tightly.

"I just-you said-" Kid defended. It was pointless.

"Oh Eustass, how perverted are you." Law laughed off and reached up and laid a gentle kiss on Kid's lips. "I only like you stoking me."

Heat nearly passed out behind them. But, the ticker on the coffee machine went off. As they say, 'saved by the bell'. "C-c-coffee's done." The blue haired man stuttered out.

"I made myself a coffee. It seemed I made you one two Eustass. Force of habit." Law shrugged and pointed towards his fridge, "Heat. There is a lot of beer in the fridge please could you serve those four in there for me Heat." The zombie looking man too out the correct number of beer bottles and literally ran from the kitchen. Leaving the two lovers alone. Law poured a bit of milk in his cup and a lot in Kid's. He made sure to add no sugar to his and more than enough to Kid's. The man's sweet tooth was just as big as his ego. Speaking of ego - "You friends with Killer yet?" Law even said a bit annoyed.

"No."

"May I ask why? You two are best friends. Like they say, two pods in a pea. Or did I get that wrong?" Law stirred his coffee, taking a moment to stop and think about the saying.

"It's two peas in a pod, never mind that...look at you Law." Kid ran his pale, slim fingers over the cast on Law's hand. He had sure to run his warmth on Law's face. The wannabe doctor moaned quietly from the tender touches. Kid now had his chest against his back. Making sure not to press hard enough to hurt but enough to feel his body. Two thick muscles arms wrapped around Law's waist. "How can I forgive him for hurting the one thing that is precious to me." Kid whispered in Law's ear.

Law blushed lightly and turned his face to met Kid's, "He never hurt me. Physically, yes. But mentally, I'm fine. Kid trust me. You and Killer are best friends. I'll hate myself if I caused you to break up." Law said into Kid's lips. Placing the coffee back down on the counter, he planted a kiss on Kid's again. Then again. Then again. Now their lips moved with each other like a dance routine. A few mistake but perfectly flawless. Law moved back with a soft smile. Id still looked wary...and well Law knew one room which could change his mind. "If I show you my guest room...will you have a serious conversation with Killer. Please."

"Are you blackmailing me?"

Law chuckled and turned around in Kid's arms, "I never offered sex so no. No blackmail here." Breaking Kid's arm bound, he took one hand in his unbroken hand and sneaked upstairs. He did check in the living room to see the other men in a conversation. Law sneaked carefully up the stares no to catch attention. He'd be so embarrassed if anyone saw his guest room. He kept it locked normal. Of course he had a key. When they reached the room, Law signaled Kid to wait and disappeared into his room and returned with a small key. Kid smiled nervously and Law returned it. Thrusting the key in the hole, Law shook as he turned the handle.

The room was dark – expected because the curtains weren't drawn and the lights were off. As Kid stepped into the room. Law flicked the light on and closed the door behind him. And then. Kid saw the full room.

It was a small room, smaller than Law's bedroom. It had a small window but hidden by coal-black curtains. The walls were bare white and the floor were wooden planks. It was an empty room, it had stacks of canvas in each corner. Varies sizes. In the center of the room was a red bar stool, an end table with a paint pallet and glass of dirty water with paint brushes. Lastly was a light wood eraser. It looked worn and well used – small platters of different paints decorating it.

"You paint?" Kid asked, he was in shock. Law didn't seem the time. He'd expected jars of hearts or something creepy. Or sexy, like a torture room or lots of role pay outfits.

The wannabe doctor nodded and hummed quietly, "A strange hobby. I do it when I'm angry or sad. But mostly when I'm missing you." Law admitted and went to on of the corner and took a larger eraser, "I've been working on this for a while, I wanted to give you it for your birthday but heck. Here." Law flipped the canvas over and his face.

It was Kid. Kid laying upon Law's bed hugging Bepo. It had been painted in different shades and colours. It was bright and happy. Overall making Kid feel...loved. His eyes softened as he took the canvas and held it,"It's amazing...how long?"

"Oh...since school started."

"Thank you Law. I mean it. Thank you." Kid said gently, placing down the painting and kissed Law. The wannabe doctor smiled when the lips touched his temple. After a short moment of looking deeply in each others eye, a loud yelling voice made Law awkwardly coughed, "We should go downstairs, our coffee's are getting cold."

Kid nuzzled his head into Law's neck. Lovingly whispering words that Law couldn't hear. However, Kid said something that Law heard fully, "You make me crazy."

"I'm sure you do that to your self." Law joked and kissed Kid's cheek. Moving away, the older man shook his bottom as he left, "My cute ass just adds fuel to your insanity." Kid's brows bounced and his eyes lowered to the god like plump bottom.

…

The room exploded into conversation. Colourful as it was. A few scowls, a bit of arguing. But it seemed both friendship groups had settled. Wire and Heat were fins with Shachi and Penguin. It was just Killer and Kid who Penguin had a problem with.

The seating plan was a simple. Law was on the left side of the sofa, Kid was in the middle and Shachi on the right side closest to the door. Penguin on the over sofa on the right side, next to Heat. Killer was besides him and Wire choose the sit on the floor because he was too tall to stand.

Law was drinking his coffee slowly while eyeing Kid up. The redhead knew what his lover was getting at. With his eyes, Law was yelling at Kid to talk to Killer. Which Kid kept ignoring. It wasn't until a sharp nudge in his side did Kid take notice and everyone else because he'd gawked loudly. Sighing under everyone's stares, he grabbed an open beer from the coffee table – his empty coffee cup laying besides it. Standing, Kid looked to Killer, "Killer I want to talk you."

The blonde seemed shock but nodded and followed his best friend outside the house. Some stares got directed to Law. The wannabe doctor laughed slightly and drank his second cup off coffee, "You're welcome."

…

The cold air was just a bitter as the silence which lived between these men. Best friends they called themselves. Broken up because of Killer's temper and what had happened to Kid's boyfriend. Kid knew he could never forgive Killer for hurting Law. He'd try. But even he knew his tries were pointless. They could become friends...there was a hope. Even if that hope was Law.

"I wanted to talk to you." Kid stated.

"No you didn't. Trafalgar wanted you to talk to me. I'm not stupid Kid, I know you hate me for what I did."

Might as well get rid of the fake façade, "I do. I can't forgive you for hurting Law."

"I don't expect you to." Murmured Killer in truth, blue eyes meeting the fiery ones. By look alone, he felt like he'd been burnt. Killer felt like he was a child under the watchful eyes of his father.

Kid looked to the floor and shuffled his feet nervously, "Did Law forgive you?"

"Yeah. I don't know why. And so soon as well." Killer admitted, "I didn't imagine him so..."

"Normal?"

"Not the word I would have used." Killer chuckled. He even gained a small chuckle out of Kid. Another wave of silence and small glances. Kid finally spoke.

"I'm sorry for not telling you about Law. I thought you would go mental-"

"I did go mental. I knew something was going on between the two of you. I just wanted to act like it wasn't happening." Blurting out, Killer even begun to yell.

Resting his hands on each shoulder, Kid retained Killer. He needed to say something, the older man looked like he was about to kill someone, "I'm in love with him Killer." All the anger popped like a bubble and Killer looked blank at the man.

"Wow." Was all Killer could say, he went from frowning to smiling in a second, "I never thought it was that serious..."

Kid hummed with a smile and suddenly the front door opened Wire and Heat exited, "Hey, we're going." The tallest man said, seeing his two friends smiling softy.

"I'll go two. I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow, Kid?" Asked Killer with hope.

"Yeah. See ya guys." He waved and re-entered the house to see Penguin and Shachi readying to leave. Shachi waved bye to Law and Kid, whereas Penguin only waved to Law. The man still didn't trust Kid, but that was his problem, not Kid's.

As soon as the door closed, Kid went to Law side and sat down. Arm around his boyfriends. His lover. His love. This feeling was amazing. Breathtaking. "No more sneaking around."

"No more questions." Law pointed out.

"No more lies."

The wannabe doctor warmly smiled, "Just me and you."

"Just me and you."

A/n - this probably has so many spelling mistakes in it -facepalm- Anyway. This is the end...what? no sex? I've shocked myself as well. I might write another chapter about them having sexy time, but that depends if you want another chapter? Overall, I think it would ruin it if it had another chapter.

So, if you want another chapter, one with sex, please drop a review :D

To add, I'm working one ANOTHER Kid and Law story.

Oh, and if you have any questions about the fanfic please just ask :)XxxX Thank you!x
