Hello!

Sorry, I decided to re-upload this chapter – wanted to edit some parts. Tip: never write at 1 a.m. with a migraine, the results aren't good. Too bad the edited version isn't much better though… But I hope it's less cringey.

I'm also sorry about the super late update! I have been busy with school: a lot of projects, exams and homework the past few months… We had prom and I attended to some extra classes at university for fun. And my best friend also pretty much told me she didn't want to be my friend anymore and I found out she had been talking a lot of shit behind my back (like saying that she never even wanted to be my friend in first place), so solving things out with her also took a lot of time. Didn't manage to solve anything out, but I know I'm better off without her.

I also turned 18 last Friday! (May 27th) So a lot of my free time went to preparing my big parties and stuff like that. But it was fun so it was worth the efforts!

Anyway, enough blabbering about my boring personal life, I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT YOUR SUPER AWESOME REVIEWS! *cries* You guys are like wayyy to sweet for this planet!

So, in this chappie I attempted to write some KidLaw smut. I'm re-uploading this chapter because I edited some parts of the smut scene. I hope it is a little better now, but to be completely honest, I am terrible at writing sex stuff.

Also, next chapter will be the very last one! (Originally I had planned to write one super long chapter but decided to split it into two smaller ones).

WARNING: mature content and mentions of eating disorders/depressive behavior

~Enjoy~


The summer after graduation was unexpectedly rainy. Meteorologists had falsely predicted sunny and warm weather for the entire June. Instead the exceptionally warm weather of May faded away and was greeted by an unusual chilliness. The grass would be wet of rain when one woke up in the morning and the skies would be dominated by boringly gray clouds. Sometimes, if one was lucky, the clouds could disappear during the evening and the gentle evening sun would paint the sky in alluring colors.

In a way, the boring weather was quite fortunate. People had been more motivated to stay inside to study for the last entrance exams after all. The problem was just that Kidd wasn't applying to any college or university yet. Instead he had applied for a job and would work until he decided what he wanted to do with his life.

Nojiko and Nami had both been incredibly happy when he had moved back in. His room had been exactly like before; his sisters had even been kind enough to clean it for him before he moved back in. The apartment had been as shabby as ever, but at least the disgusting smell of alcohol was fading away. All in all, it kind of felt like their home had become cozier than before, even if much hadn't changed interior-wise. It was just something in the atmosphere. None of them had to feel scared that their drunken dad would come home and beat Kidd anymore. The freedom felt strange, yet incredibly peaceful.

Many things were indicating that Kidd had become an adult. One of them was certainly the fact that he had gotten a stable job, even if it only was at a boring fast-food restaurant. Another indication was perhaps the fact that his nerdy boyfriend was moving out on his own. And the fact that most of his friends would go to college or university that autumn was surely another indication. It felt weird to become an adult – suddenly he had to pay taxes and think of which politician he wanted to vote on. It kind of felt like he needed to come up with a plan for his life, especially since everyone else around him seemed to have a clear plan for their future and of what they wanted to do with their lives.

Nojiko had told him that it was fine that he didn't know yet. After the graduation at the boarding school, they had packed Kidd's stuff and taken the evening train back home. Trafalgar had come with them. On the trip back home his sisters had eagerly asked Kidd about his future and his plans, and when Kidd had revealed that he didn't know what he wanted yet, Nojiko had kindly told him that it was fine. That it was more important that he was sure of what he wanted, than that he just jumped into the first university he got accepted to and started studying something he hated.

His sisters had naturally been very impressed of Trafalgar's plans. They had been ridiculously curious about Trafalgar in general, and had asked both Kidd and Trafalgar a lot of embarrassing details. Luckily Killer had told the nosy duo to back off at some point, especially when Nami teasingly had started to ask them about their sex life.

That night they had all gone out eating at a restaurant together. Trafalgar had been a bit shy at first but had gotten used to Killer, Nami and Nojiko quite fast. It had been a nice night, and they had finally had enough time to catch up properly. After their splendid dinner, Trafalgar had stayed for the night. He had slept next to Kidd in Kidd's bed, but they still hadn't gone further than making out. Trafalgar seemed a bit reluctant to have sex yet, which Kidd was fine with. He didn't want to rush into things. For once he was actually serious about making this relationship last longer than two weeks, like many of his previous sex-centered relationships.

The next morning Trafalgar had been forced to travel back to the small village. At that point he had still been living at Smoker's place. Kidd hadn't even known that Trafalgar had been searching for a place of his own at that time, but a few weeks later the raven would deliver the happy news of him moving to the neighboring town to Kidd's.

After the happy days of graduation, Kidd had applied for several different jobs and gotten a stable job at a small fast-food restaurant. The pay wasn't good, but it was better than nothing. He would work during the days and meet with his friends occasionally. During the first weeks of the summer he would hang out with Killer and Barto a lot, and like expected, the duo got along quite well. Sometimes Heat and Wire would join them and Kidd was fond of his new group of friends. Finally he felt like he had absolutely no strings attached to those bastards that so coldly had betrayed him the year before. He had completely replaced those shitty bastards with amazing guys that would even share their food with him – well, at least some of their food with him.

Kidd even caught up with Blondie sometimes. Ever since the two of them had found their share interest in cooking, they had gotten quite close. They would meet up and cook together or share recipes. Nami teased Kidd for this, which was to be expected, but he didn't care very much. Instead he found Blondie's help to be incredibly useful.

During one of the lucky evenings with sunshine, Blondie had for the first time talked about his relationship with Moss-Head. They had been smoking on a rooftop in town and Blondie had suddenly told Kidd that Moss-Head and he would have their anniversary in a week. Blondie had been aware of Trafalgar's and Kidd's relationship all along, so maybe that was why he finally felt comfortable enough to be honest and open about his relationship with Moss-Head. Nevertheless, the couple had apparently been planning to move in together when college started. Blondie had been accepted into some kind of cooking school whereas Moss-Head was interested in opening a dojo and would continue his martial arts training as he coached small kids. Strangely enough, they seemed like a really good couple, despite their constant need to have small fights together.

Concerning Barto's idols, things hadn't ended up very well. From what Kidd had heard, the three brothers had gone completely separate ways. While Luffy had stayed back at the boarding school, Ace had left to art school whereas Sabo had moved away to a city farther in the east. Apparently they didn't have much contact. Whatever had happened between those three brothers who unwillingly had become Bartolomeo's objects of obsession, it had ruined their bonds quite drastically. Somehow, Kidd felt a bit sorry for them. But only a bit, since he was quite busy being happy about his own life at the time being.

All in all, things were quite good for Kidd. His friends would begin studying in the autumn and he would work, but he was happy. And besides, he still had the whole summer to spend time with everyone even if he had to work some days. So, despite the rainy weather, June was a good month. He went on a small road trip with Barto, discovered a good, cheap restaurant in town and tried to think of his future in the most realistic and relaxed way possible.

In the beginning of July, Trafalgar moved out. With the help of the money he had stolen from Doflamingo, he found himself a quite stylish apartment in the town next to Kidd's. It would be fast and easy to meet each other from now on. During the move, Trafalgar was incredibly busy and didn't stay in contact with Kidd very much. Naturally, Kidd offered to help, but due to his complicated work shifts, he wasn't able to help his boyfriend with the move. They did meet for a coffee the day before Kidd got the phone call. And Trafalgar had seemed completely fine, even if he had refused to eat a pastry. Then, the next day, the phone call came, and Kidd realized he didn't know his boyfriend as well as he wanted to.

§

Today his work shift had ended quite early and he was home before five o'clock in the evening. This meant two good things: one, he could take his time to prepare a nice dinner, two, he would have time to go running after dinner. The fact that Trafalgar was soon done moving into his new apartment was also making Kidd happy – when Trafalgar would be done moving, they would be able to meet much more often.

Humming on a silly melody, Kidd hung his thin denim jacket in the clothes hanger. After this he almost danced into the kitchen and opened their fridge curiously to see what kind of ingredients they had at home. Just as he was done inspecting the ingredients in the fridge, the phone call came. The unexpectedly upsetting phone call.

Kidd frowned in confusion as he saw that the one calling him was Smoker. That was utterly peculiar, especially since Smoker and Kidd were quite awkward together. They did have some kind of awkward bond, but only due to Trafalgar. And sports. Because they both liked sports after all.

"Hi", Kidd greeted his previous P.E. and civics teacher with a slightly hesitant voice. "Something up?" He waited for the man on the other line to give him a reason to the call.

"Yea", Smoker said. Even if he sounded quite stern and emotionless like always, Kidd could tell that Smoker felt uneasy about something. And there was only one thing that made Smoker like this and that one thing was Trafalgar. "Law is in the hospital."

Kidd froze. What the fuck had happened? Trafalgar had seemed completely fine yesterday when they had met at the café! He had even been laughing and smiling more than usually!

"What!? What the fuck happened?!" Kidd couldn't help the anger that suddenly overwhelmed him. He didn't know why or how he became so angry. He just did. It was as if the usual anxious feeling of worry had been replaced by the murderous feeling of fury.

"I found him collapsed on the floor today when I went over to his apartment to see how the move was going", Smoker explained, his voice as stern as ever. To be completely honest, the voice was only irritating Kidd even more. "He didn't wake up so of course I brought him to the hospital. Turns out he hasn't been eating again. He is malnourished."

Kidd gritted his teeth in frustration. He hadn't noticed a shit yesterday. Trafalgar had been completely normal. How hadn't he noticed anything? Trafalgar was his boyfriend for fuck's sake! Kidd couldn't let this happen anymore. He couldn't let Trafalgar do this to himself anymore. Kidd had thought that things had become better, that Trafalgar slowly had gotten better!

"I see", Kidd finally sighed into the phone. "Which hospital is he staying at? When can I visit him?"

"Not today. But tomorrow you can come by", Smoker replied. After this the silver-haired chain-smoker carefully told Kidd the details about the visiting hours and gave the redhead an exact address to the hospital Trafalgar was staying at. "You know", Smoker said just when the phone call was about to end, "I think he did this out of stress and pressure. I think he felt very scared to move out on his own and that it triggered this. I do think he had become healthier. Maybe it was too soon to let him out on his own."

"Maybe", Kidd mumbled in disappointment. Then the phone call ended.

Kidd's previous motivation to cook a wonderful meal disappeared completely. Instead he slumped down on the closest chair and stared at the wall with a blank face. He felt guilty. Incredibly guilty. He had been so eager about Trafalgar's move that he almost had forced the raven to move faster. Besides, he definitely should have noticed that everything hadn't been alright with Trafalgar the day before.

Kidd was the worst boyfriend on earth.

He hadn't taken Trafalgar's emotions in consideration at all. He should have made sure that Trafalgar had been eating well. He should have checked up on Trafalgar more often. He should have worked less. He should have urged Trafalgar to continue go to therapy. He should have, he should have, he should have…

Whenever Kidd felt the tiniest bit guilty, he always wanted his dad to be there to hit him. It always got like that. He didn't know why, he hadn't felt like this before last autumn when he had gotten caught and been sent to the boarding school. Ever since then, the small need to be hit had appeared sometimes. The feeling had never been strong before, usually he had only taken a long and hard training session to cool down his strange desire. But when something like this happened, he wished to be crushed. It was his fault. He deserved the pain, not Trafalgar. Kidd was the bad one, not Trafalgar.

But now dad wasn't there to hurt him, so what should he do? The guilt within him was aching so badly and he felt like vomiting. He searched for something to help him. His eyes landed on the kitchen knives hanging on the wall and he got a stupid idea.

If dad wasn't there to hurt him, Kidd had to hurt himself instead.

§

The next day was mockingly sunny. Kidd felt like crap when he woke up in the morning, he had been pestered by disgusting nightmares the whole time he had been sleeping. He called his boss and told her that he was going to visit his boyfriend at the hospital. She was alright with this and told Kidd to take it easy too. Unfortunately Kidd knew that he would be unable to take it easy for a while. What had happened had scared him after all.

In the end, Kidd had become furious last night. Hurting himself hadn't been enough and he had woken up in the middle of the night, the same disgusting guilt still drilling holes into his body. After a couple of hours of just anxiously rolling around in his bed while seeing some horribly realistic nightmares, he had finally given into the craziness and gone out. He had naturally made sure not to wake Nami and Nojiko up when he had snuck out of their shabby apartment. Then he had searched for the nearest fistfight and joined in. So now he was quite bruised, and Trafalgar would get pissed off for sure. Besides, he had barely caught any sleep and had dark rings beneath his eyes. Because of his pale skin, the dark bags stood out much more than they did with Law.

Despite his tiredness and his sore body, Kidd dragged his sorry ass to the flower shop and bought his boyfriend a big bouquet of white lilies. He had no idea what the lilies symbolized and meant, but frankly, he didn't care either. The flowers had just reminded him of Trafalgar in some way. Besides, Kidd couldn't bring his boyfriend chocolate – Trafalgar would never touch the sweets after all.

The hospital was like any other hospital. Way too white, smelled a bit strange and nurses who were too busy to notice your existence. Luckily one of the nurses was kind enough to lead Kidd to Trafalgar. It was obvious that the middle-aged woman had felt sorry for Kidd who had stood by the reception with white lilies in his hand and bruises in his face, looking completely lost. She had been very curious about Kidd and had asked him if it was his first time at this particular hospital and told him to stay as long as he needed to; the patients didn't get visitors that often.

When they arrived to Trafalgar's hospital room and when he saw how pitiful and weak his boyfriend looked, Kidd almost let out a sigh. He refrained from sighing however. Instead he thanked the nurse, pushed his feelings aside and walked up to Trafalgar. Trafalgar looked up at him with curious eyes, obviously noticing the bruises. Another nurse was checking on the patient across Trafalgar, so the couple didn't have complete privacy.

"You look like complete shit", Kidd commented as he took a chair and sat down on it. Then he placed the bouquet of white lilies in Trafalgar's lap. The nurse across the room shot Kidd a judgmental glare as soon as the redhead had said that. Kidd didn't care though.

"I know", Trafalgar replied. His arms looked uncharacteristically pale. They were thin like always. But the bags beneath his eyes looked worse than usual and thanks to the way his eyes were swollen Kidd could tell that his boyfriend had been crying. "You don't look all too well either", Law commented quietly.

"Look Trafalgar, you can't keep doing this to yourself", Kidd said. He couldn't be gentle and kind about this. He didn't know how to deal with all of his emotions, so instead he kept talking harshly and roughly to avoid things to get too emotional. He knew that Trafalgar preferred to have it this way too. Neither of them liked emotional situations. "Do you even realize how goddamn worried you're making everyone all the time? All because you don't eat because you're a drama queen?"

There was no reply from the thin raven. Instead sunrays pierced through the dirty window panes in a mocking way. The sun had no right to be shining like that when things were shitty. It was highly provocative.

Trafalgar only kept on looking down at his lap and gently played with the white lilies. It was obvious that he had been hurt by Kidd's words, but Kidd felt that it was only right. Trafalgar needed a wakeup call, and he would never stop doing this if no one was harsh to him once in a while. Someone had to shake him out of it and make him realize that he needed help. Professional help.

Suddenly Trafalgar seemed to notice something, however, and swiftly reached out to Kidd. He grabbed the redhead's hand and turned on it, revealing scars on the wrists. He frowned and pulled up the sleeve of Kidd's sweater, only to find more cuts. Trafalgar lifted his gaze and stared into Kidd's eyes in disbelief.

"Eustass-ya", he whispered. Of course he understood that he had been the reason. "Why did you do this?"

"Why the fuck do you think? I was frustrated. Fucking frustrated. I can't help you anymore and it hurts me that you're fucked up", once again the nurse shot disapproving glares Kidd's way, but Kidd chose to ignore them all. That cranky lady had no idea of what was the best for Trafalgar. Well, frankly, neither had Kidd, but Kidd at least knew his boyfriend better than this random lady did. "Trafalgar, you're not only hurting yourself by starving yourself. You're hurting me, Penguin, Shachi, Smoker… Hell, even Nami got worried when I told her. You have to stop this. The scars and bruises on my body are just a physical proof of how much your behavior hurt us."

Trafalgar let go of Kidd's arm quickly and looked away. He anxiously played with his fingers as he stared out of the window of the room. Of course the raven must have known that his behavior affected the people around him. And Kidd knew that there wasn't much his boyfriend could do about his terrible eating disorder. But it was time for both of them to start accepting that they were fucked up.

"I don't want you to hurt yourself because of me", Trafalgar finally mumbled, still turned away from Kidd. Anxiously playing with his hands, Trafalgar sighed shakily. "I don't want to hurt anyone."

"I know you don't want to. But I will be hurt whenever you are hurt, that's how it works", Kidd said, now using a bit softer tone. He tried to find his boyfriend's gaze but Trafalgar insisted to look away. He was ashamed. "Look Trafalgar, I'm not completely sane either. I get angry all the time and I still see nightmares. Some days I just feel terribly guilty for absolutely no reason."

Finally Trafalgar turned to look at Kidd again. His usually calm and analytical eyes looked shocked. "I didn't know you felt like that", he said, worry evident in his small voice.

"I do", Kidd said. It wasn't easy to admit. Never had been. But during the past year in therapy he had realized how fucked up he had been. He hated it. He hated himself for breaking and for needing therapy. He hadn't wanted to continue therapy though Conis had recommended it. He had thought he had been fine. But the scars on his wrists were clear evidence of his poor mental state. No sane person reacted like he had. No sane person wanted to hurt themselves like he wanted to hurt himself.

"I'm sorry", Trafalgar said. It was clear that the raven didn't know what to say, so he just apologized to fill the silence. The apology was completely unnecessary though. Kidd didn't need any pitiful apologies. He needed Law to get better.

"I have a suggestion", Kidd finally said, his voice merely a soft murmur now. "You don't want me to suffer and I don't want you to suffer, right?"

"Right."

"Then let's go back to therapy. I know you don't want to go back, and I sure as hell don't want to go back either, but I don't want to hurt you. And I know I will hurt you if I keep doing things like these", Kidd pointed at his scarred arms and his bruised face. "And you will hurt me if you keep doing things like that", Kidd poked Law's skinny arms. "And we both will keep doing stupid things if we don't get help. So whaddya say?"

"I don't know", Law said hesitantly. What Kidd was saying made perfect sense, but going back to a therapist felt weak. And a bit scary too. Law wasn't ready to tell his story to some random person. He had learned to trust Conis over time. How would he learn to trust a new person? And did he even want to trust a new person? Did he even want to talk about his feelings?

"You want me to get better?" using a bit harsher tone again, Kidd gently turned Trafalgar's head so that the raven was forced to look at him.

"Isn't that obvious? Of course I want you to get better-"

"I won't go to therapy unless you go to therapy", Kidd said, his determined voice making it clear for Trafalgar that he wasn't kidding. Now, the nurse that had kept sending the young redhead disapproving glares seemed less upset. Instead she seemed to follow their conversation a bit too eagerly. The way she was eavesdropping on their conversation was all too obvious, but Kidd tried his best to ignore it.

Silence lay down over the room. Even the small hustle of the nurse taking care of the terribly thin, old lady on the other side of the room died out. It seemed like an airplane crossed the sky somewhere outside and the faint sound of its motors penetrated the walls and reached Kidd's ears. Moreover it was absolute silence in the anemically pale hospital room.

"You promise you'll go?" Trafalgar finally wanted to confirm, staring into his boyfriend's eyes with a serious gaze.

"Idiot, of course I will. I promise I will. Happy now?" Kidd said and couldn't help the tiny – yet incredibly victorious – grin that spread across his lips. This was the first step. And like people tended to say, the first step was the hardest one.

"Good. Then I will agree to your suggestion", Trafalgar said, his face as serious as ever. Somehow Kidd found the serious face a bit adorable. Dorky, but adorable. Kidd kissed Law on his nose and Law smiled shyly at the gesture.

"Perfect", Kidd grinned. "Now, these flowers need a vase before they die, don't you think?"

"Yea", Law agreed. And the strange tension seemed to disappear little by little while Kidd was searching for a vase.

§

After that promise at the hospital, both Law and Kidd returned to therapy, which might have been one of the wisest things they had ever done. Naturally both teenagers felt nervous about their first appointments with their respective new therapists, but they both turned out to be nice and trustable people, so Kidd and Law had nothing to worry about.

Law had been dismissed from the hospital a few days afterwards with a strict diet to follow. He ought to eat five meals per day and in the beginning he had to try regaining the weight he had lost. Nojiko and Nami made sure to invite him over for dinner as often as possible, even when Kidd was working. Kidd's sisters had of course become concerned about Law as soon as they had heard about his weak state and made it their job to feed him properly as often as possible. One time the redhead came home from work to find his sisters and his boyfriend drinking tea together in the living room. Nami had been painting Law's toe nails while Nojiko had been combing his hair. Law had said that the two girls had insisted, to which Kidd only had laughed.

In the end Law still moved to his new home. Turned out he really had been nervous about moving, but with the support of his friends and Smoker, he seemed to manage quite well. In the beginning Kidd also made sure to keep a lot of contact with the raven to ensure that he was alright. At the time, Law had been neither studying nor working, so he was alone a lot of the time. Some days he would spend with Penguin and Shachi, other days Nami would invite him over and they'd do something together. Nami really liked Law and Law was quite fond of Nami as well, so even if Law did feel a bit hesitant around the confident ginger, he liked spending time with her. And Kidd was delighted that his baby sister and his boyfriend got along so well.

Kidd liked Law's apartment. It wasn't far away and the redhead could get there with a bus under thirty minutes, which was a much shorter trip than the several hours long train trip to the small village where the boarding school had been. Thanks to Doflamingo's money, Law had afforded a quite modern and spacious apartment. It had a small balcony and big windows. The walls were all white but Law got a lot of plants to his home so it got less anemic and more homely.

Over time Law became less and less pale and looked healthier and healthier. Kidd could slowly stop worrying about Law. But what Kidd didn't know was that Law still worried about him. Law would check the razor blades and the kitchen knives whenever he was over at Kidd's place, and he would even try to search for scars on Kidd's body whenever the redhead was asleep. Even if Kidd was going to therapy, he had some really low days, and one time Law had been there to see one of them. It had only created more concern within Law.

One day Law did find fresh scars on Kidd's body and immediately confronted Kidd about them. The redhead hadn't had a good answer to why he had done what he had done. He had just been feeling unwell, that was all. Kidd just had those days sometime. He felt like there wasn't much he could do about them. Law didn't like the answer. He warned Kidd that he would tell his sisters next time. Luckily there was no next time. Therapy seemed to be helping both of them, though they still had days when they struggled.

July was remarkably sunnier than June. Now people would be greeted by lively sunlight in the mornings and the sun would keep on gazing down on them the entire day. Some days were a bit windy, but otherwise it was rather warm, some days were even hot. Therefore July became the ideal month to have barbeque parties and beach days. One day Nami, Nojiko, Kidd and Law even went on a picnic together and even if Law still was a bit timid with the two girls sometimes, it had been a quite perfect day.

Unfortunately the lovely days of the summer were slowly met by autumn. The days which had been spent by kissing Law on the beach were exchanged by days where Law would be at the university studying. The evenings which had been spent by grilling at the balcony of Law's apartment were exchanged by evenings where Kidd worked uncomfortably often. A sure indication of autumn was always that people started working again. Kidd couldn't pretend that he liked it, but he knew there wasn't much he could do either.

And then, in the middle of August, when university had begun and people had started working more seriously, Kidd forgot a quite important day.

§

Law was happy that the weather was good that day. It was sunny but not too hot. Neither was it too windy. Instead it was a quite calm day in every possible way. Some idyllically white clouds popped up here and there but they didn't disturb the cheerful sunlight the slightest. Instead they only gave the day even more ingredients to be perfect. A small, wonderfully warm wind could pass by every now and then, but it disturbed no one. Law only hoped that the evening would be as good as the day had been.

In the morning Law had gone to morning class. He liked the university and was slowly getting acquainted with some of the other students at the medical school. Always completing his assignments weeks before the deadline, Law got a reputation of being incredibly organized and smart.

After the morning class, Law had visited his therapist. The sessions had become quite natural for him and he had noticed small improvement. Naturally he wouldn't be healthy just like that – things like these took time. But going to therapy and knowing that he at least was doing something about his problem made him feel like he had come an endlessly long way.

And finally, he had gone back to medical school and attended to a few more classes before wrapping up his day. He was grateful that it was Friday. The fact that this important date had happened to be a Friday meant that he could enjoy it longer than if it had been a Wednesday for example. And besides, Law knew that Kidd was off on Fridays, which definitely was a good thing.

As soon as Law came home in the late afternoon, he started cleaning his apartment. He wasn't very good at cleaning and usually used too much water when mopping the floors. Like always he had to open the door to his balcony to make the wet floors dry faster since he once again had used way too much water. He even changed the sheets to his bed and fluffed the pillows nicely. He would need the bed tonight after all.

While the floors were drying, Law started cooking. He was still as terrible as ever, which was why he had reserved several hours to cook a good meal. Nami had recommended him an easy recipe and had said that the dish was quite delicious, despite its simplicity. So that was why Law would try his absolute best to make the creamy mushroom pasta. He even challenged himself to bake a small chocolate cake, though he had prepared himself with chocolate ice cream in case the cake was about to explode or something.

Kidd had asked Law to join him and Killer to the bar a few hours earlier, but Law had naturally refused. Law had been the one who had asked Killer to take Kidd with him to a bar in the first place. It was supposed to be distraction, and so far it seemed to have worked. Killer, and his friend Bonney who apparently had gone along, would make sure that Kidd would be at Law's place at six o'clock. Killer kept him updated about the situation. All Law hoped was that none of them would get drunk enough to forget about the arrangement.

As expected, it did take Law a while to finish cooking. But, the dish actually became quite good, which he definitely hadn't expected. Frankly, he kind of had prepared himself to end up ordering take-out or something, but he had actually managed to cook a meal without completely ruining it. Unfortunately he burnt the cake, which wasn't a very big surprise though. Luckily he had been smart enough to buy that package of ice cream.

As soon as the cooking was done, he glanced at the clock. Fifteen minutes until six o'clock. Just enough time for a fast shower. He had even bought some sexy Calvin Klein underwear for this evening and made sure to wear them as soon as he had finished showering. He wore casual jeans and a black shirt with small, white dots on it. And then he sat down on the sofa and waited.

Then the clock became six and Law felt his heart pound in excitement. The dinner table was set, the bedsheets had been changed, the floors had been washed, the food was done… But Kidd didn't appear. Maybe he was a bit late?

Then the clock became half past six and Law wondered if he should text Killer. But he didn't. Maybe Kidd just was late? Kidd could sometimes be late for a reason or another. Law knew that his boyfriend always had a good reason, so he didn't feel any need to text or call Killer. Kidd was probably late, that was all.

Then the clock became half past seven and Law had tried to call Killer several times. In vain. The blond didn't answer. Law was now so nervous that he constantly walked to the kitchen and ate of the food that had become cold. He even tried to text Kidd but the redhead didn't reply. Kidd didn't answer when Law called him either.

When the clock was past nine Law had eaten all of the pasta alone and his stomach was completely bloated. He felt disgusted with himself and his bloated stomach. He had attempted to call both Kidd and Killer several times. Half past nine the blond finally answered and said that Kidd had left the bar hours ago, but that he had gone somewhere with Bonney. Law could easily tell that Killer was drunk. Law might have said some really shitty things to Killer and would regret them later, but at that moment he had felt so incredibly angry that he had been unable to keep his head cool.

Law had already given up when Kidd finally appeared outside his door. Not actually wanting to open the door, Law sighed and opened it anyway. Kidd smiled at him happily, his eyes were focused and he smelled fresh. At least he wasn't drunk, that was something. But what the fuck had taken him so long?

"Didn't Killer-ya tell you to come here at six o'clock?" Law asked with a tired voice, standing in Kidd's way to prevent the redhead to enter his freshly cleaned apartment.

"Yea, yea he did", Kidd smiled apologetically. "But Bonney had just broken up with her previous boyfriend and needed a bit of comfort. Turned out the asshole had been hitting her too, so I went over and threatened the guy a bit. Don't worry, didn't hit the fella."

Law stared at his boyfriend in disbelief. So Kidd had spent time with some random girl and her ex-boyfriend instead of spending a romantic evening with his own boyfriend? Asshole. "Do you know what day it is today?"

"Huh? It's the 22nd of August, how come?" Kidd seemed perplexed. He didn't understand why Law refused to let him into his apartment as well. Why did Law make such a big deal about this particular evening? It was just one evening among many others.

"And that date doesn't ring you any bells?" Law wanted to confirm with a dry voice.

"Should it?" utterly confused, Kidd only squinted. He seriously didn't understand his boyfriend sometimes. Law seemed really pissed off. Yea, sure, Kidd was really damn late, but Law had been late sometimes too. They were even. Besides, Kidd had had a quite good reason to be late too.

"Maybe it should", Law's answer was cryptic. He was about to shut the door in disappointment but the muscular redhead before him stopped him. Instead Kidd forced himself into the apartment. "Get out of here Eustass-ya. I don't want to have you here."

"Hey, don't act like an asshole now", Kidd said and closed the door behind him, forcing himself in. He looked around and noticed how oddly clean Law's apartment was. It had only looked this fresh the first week Law had lived there. "Okay, lemme think… The 22nd of August… I know it's not your birthday, and it's not our anniversary either…"

Law crossed his arms and leaned against the wall as he looked at his boyfriend. He was happy to see that there wasn't any blood on his clothes at least. That meant that Kidd hadn't lied about not hitting that asshole ex-boyfriend. But then Law's analytic eyes unfortunately landed on Kidd's neck and he spotted marks. Lipstick marks. He grew furious.

"What are these?" his voice was ice cold as he touched Kidd's neck. His terrifyingly cold glance left no room for lies or made-up stories. Instead Kidd felt at mercy under the murderous gaze.

"Oh these? Well, Bonney got a bit drunk. Don't worry, I tried to push her away and she knows I have a boyfriend. She was just a bit desperate for comfort", Kidd explained and chuckled heartily. When he noticed that Law's intense gaze hadn't become any less scary, his smile dropped. "What? It's true!"

"First you come hours late without telling me or answering my calls", Law growled with a murderous voice and took a threatening step closer. "And then you fuck around with some random girl whom I've never even met. Get the fuck out of my apartment right now."

"What!? I'm telling you the truth!" Kidd insisted. Law's selfish behavior was really pissing him off. Why wouldn't Law believe him? Didn't Law trust him? "I didn't fuck around with her!"

"Telling the truth!?" Law shouted back at Kidd angrily. "How the fuck can I know that!? You've fucked around with god knows how many people in the past, how the fuck could I know that you won't start doing that again!?"

"Because you should trust me!" Kidd hated how Law spoke of him. It made Kidd feel disgusted with himself. Law made him feel ashamed. And Kidd knew he didn't need to feel ashamed. Fuck Law for making him feel like that! "Why the fuck can't you trust me!?"

"You're fucking bisexual! Of course you will cheat on me at some point! It's so fucking obvious that it will happen!" one angry shout after another, Law could feel how this evening was ruined bit by bit. It was terrible. He had worked so hard for it.

"Take that back", Kidd growled darkly and got closer, pressing Law against the wall. "You know it doesn't work like that. You fucking know I'm not like that! Why are you acting like this!?"

"Why did you forget?! This is the day we first met!" Law shouted. The shout silenced Kidd. Tears had formed in Law's eyes and Kidd felt terrible. "Of course you won't cheat on me because you're bisexual. You'll cheat on me because I'm me." Law said and pushed Kidd away. He walked away from the redhead in defeat.

Kidd hated it when Law became like this. He really, really hated it.

"That's so fucking not true", Kidd mumbled, mostly to himself. He caught Law and turned him around. Before the raven was able to protest, Kidd silenced him with a deep kiss. "I will never cheat on you because I love you."

Law stared into Kidd's eyes and kissed him gently, as if he was afraid that Kidd would disappear if he kissed the redhead too roughly. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said. I do trust you. I'm so sorry."

"It's alright", smiling at Law's pitiful apology, Kidd kissed Law back in the same gentle way. "I'm sorry for being so late. And for forgetting this important day."

Law shook his head as if he wanted to tell Kidd that Kidd shouldn't be apologizing, that the one who had been acting like an asshole had been Law, that Law shouldn't have taken the date so seriously. Their anniversary was more important. Law had been overreacting. And then he kissed Kidd again, this time a bit deeper.

Kidd enjoyed the fact that Law as initiating so many kisses at once. He was usually a bit reluctant about initiating things, but today he didn't seem to feel very hesitant about showering Kidd with various kinds of kisses. Instead Law wrapped his thin arms around Kidd's waist and gently pushed his tongue into Kidd's mouth. Kidd carefully caressed the side of Law's ridiculously thin waist, making the shorter man press himself even closer to Kidd. Then Law broke the kiss.

"I had cooked you some food but I ate it when I got nervous waiting for you", Law mumbled. Kidd chuckled.

"That's alright. Besides, I'm more eager to eat you right now", Kidd said suggestively, which earned him a fond chuckle from Law. Despite the small chuckle, Law went right back to kissing him as eagerly as before. Kidd slid his hand down on Law's ass and fondled it, making Law moan eagerly into the kiss.

Law's bony and slightly chilly hands found themselves on Kidd's muscular shoulders. After this they slid down to his waist again, before they slipped under Kidd's shirt. The chilliness felt exciting against Kidd's body, which automatically made him rub his lower half against Law's. Law responded by sliding his thigh between Kidd's legs, rubbing his crotch enough to make him uncomfortably aroused.

The arousal made Kidd deepen the kiss a bit more, pressing Law against the closest wall. He bit Law's lower lip eagerly, hoping that his boyfriend didn't mind the slightly rough treatment. Law didn't seem to mind at all, instead the raven let out a husky moan as his thigh kept rubbing against Kidd's crotch. The moans became even louder when Kidd kissed his sensitive neck and the chilly hands beneath Kidd's shirt wandered up to his nipples and awkwardly started touching him. It was quite obvious that Law had no idea of what he was doing, but Kidd enjoyed the gentle and hesitant touches nevertheless.

They hadn't gone much further than this before. Law had claimed that he had wanted to wait with sex, that he had wanted to be absolutely comfortable with his body and looks before he could have sex with anyone. He had told Kidd that he wouldn't be able to have sex as long as he hated his body as much as he had done before. But tonight the raven didn't seem to be holding back at all. Instead Law showered Kidd's wide neck with gentle and curious kisses, as if it was the first time that Law was kissing Kidd like that, which it definitely was not.

"Bedroom?" Law murmured huskily between his kisses.

"Sure about this?" Kidd wanted to confirm as one of his hands reached Law's ass again and grabbed it.

"Absolutely", Law whispered back, giving his boyfriend a gaze filled with lust and eager. And the small gaze was enough to convince Kidd.

They walked to the bedroom and Law awkwardly sat down on the bed. The way he was acting was way too innocent, and Kidd couldn't help but to smile at his boyfriend's clueless behavior. Sitting down next to the raven, Kidd didn't waste any time and instead continued kissing Law just like he had done before. As he showered Law's neck with different kisses, his hand found itself between Law's legs.

Law moaned at the way Kidd was touching him. He didn't know what to do and let himself enjoy the touches for a while as Kidd sucked on his neck and rubbed his crotch with skillful hands. The small whimper that left his lips was caused by the way Kidd bit his neck. Law responded by letting one of his chilly hands slip beneath Kidd's shirt again, touching his incredibly well-trained abdomen and his strong chest.

"D-Do you want me to take my shirt off?" Law asked awkwardly as Kidd moved lower and lower from his neck. The kisses had now reached his collarbones and Law wondered if it would make things easier for Kidd to proceed if he just removed his shirt instead.

"Sure", Kidd chuckled. He pulled away to let his boyfriend unbutton his shirt. "You want me to remove mine as well?" the redhead couldn't help but to tease his unexperienced boyfriend.

"Shut up…" Law muttered back and finally got his black shirt with the white dots removed. He didn't care if his stomach was a bit bloated, besides, it didn't seem like Kidd was noticing that at all. Instead Kidd just quickly pulled his own shirt off and went back to kissing Law's shoulders.

Kidd had kissed him like this many times before, but this time it felt special in some way. Maybe it was because Law knew that they would have sex. He didn't know. But the hot tongue against his collarbones felt even more enjoyable than usually and for some reason he got way more aroused than he usually did. The lips that were so familiar for him kissed him on his chest gently and Law only felt how his arousal grew and grew. It was impossible to disregard the fact that Law was really nervous too. The raven had naturally read about sex and had made sure to mentally prepare himself for the actual act, yet he still felt nervous.

Law carefully pushed Kidd down on the bed and crawled on top of the redhead. Desperately pushing the nervous feeling aside, Law tried to be a bit more confident in his actions. Kidd didn't seem bothered; instead he kept kissing Law's shoulders as if nothing had happened at all. Once again Law's thin thigh found itself rubbing against Kidd's forming erection. The chilly hands travelled up and down the sides of Kidd's well-formed body as he kissed Kidd's neck in the same way that Kidd was kissing his neck.

The careful way Law kept touching Kidd was incredibly enjoyable. Each and every touch sent strange electric shocks all over Kidd's body. It appeared that hesitant touches were much sexier than confident ones. It was as if each and every movement Law did had been thought through carefully. Now it was Kidd's turn to enjoy the hot tongue licking and kissing his muscular chest as the oddly cold hands explored his body and gently massaged his muscles.

To return the favor, Kidd's hands found themselves on Law's behind. They slowly pulled down his pants and as soon as the tight jeans had been removed, they fondled the round ass playfully, making the raven moan loudly. There had always been something about Law's perky butt that Kidd had liked extra much. He couldn't say what it was, it was a fairly small butt after all, but there was something about it.

As a reply Law removed Kidd's pants too. He was a bit clumsier than Kidd had been, but got the pants removed eventually. To be completely honest, Law didn't quite know what he was doing right now. He only followed his instincts and did as his body told him to. For once it wasn't his brain giving his body the orders, it was the other way around. Then he rubbed their erections together, only the thin clothing of their boxers keeping them from touching skin against skin. Law breathed deeply at the friction, his body overwhelmed by arousal and excitement. This was the first time he allowed someone get this close to him. It was exciting.

"Shit, you look hot", was all Kidd was able to comment when he saw the nice underwear Law was wearing. He kissed his boyfriend on the lips hungrily, his tongue pushed into Law's mouth as he also rocked his hips to maximize the friction between their erections.

"You don't look all too dumb yourself", Law mumbled huskily back. He smiled into the following kiss as Kidd's hand once again found itself on Law's behind. Now Kidd could feel it better and the way he touched it make his partner rock his hips even more. "W-What do we do now?" Law merely whimpered.

"What do you mean?" Kidd asked and stopped for a while.

"Well, who's going to top and who's going to bottom? It doesn't matter to me because I've never done this before", Law said and looked down at Kidd beneath him. This was the part that Law felt the most unsure about. He knew there were other ways to have sex too, but he wanted to try penetration at least one.

"Huh, and you kept insisting that you had had more sex than me back at the boarding school", Kidd chuckled teasingly.

"Fuck you", Law said and playfully hit Kidd's shoulder.

"Are you okay with me topping today? I have never bottomed before and topping is all I know", Kidd asked gently, caressing Law's soft cheek carefully. Kidd could tell that the tanned raven felt nervous, so he really didn't want to force Law into this. He knew that showing his body was a big step for Law.

"Sure, at least one of us will know what they're doing", chuckling nervously, Law bent down to kiss his boyfriend lovingly. "I should prepare myself right?" Law remembered reading something like that. He had naturally bought some lubrication to be fully prepared for this night.

"With lube. Otherwise it will hurt like fuck", Kidd warned his boyfriend. He sat up on the bed and gave Law a quick peck on his nose. "You have any here?"

"Yea", Law nodded shyly. The raven had put the jar of lube in his bedside table and so opened the top drawer. Taking out some condoms and a jar of lube, Law swallowed in nervousness.

"Oh ho ho, someone has been planning this! Pervert", Kidd smirked.

"Better to have it planned than to have it unplanned and making it painful", Law pointed out and opened the jar of lube. He removed his boxers shyly and took a bit of the lube on his finger. This was the first time he was naked before Kidd. He tried not to think of it too much, even if he did hope that Kidd liked his naked body as much as he liked his clothed body.

Law parted his legs hesitantly, feeling a bit awkward and shy about being naked and so vulnerable in some way. It felt really embarrassing to do this for some reason, he had barely masturbated in the past so he wasn't used to touching himself sexually. Inserting the lubed finger into his entrance, Law held his breath. He didn't know what to expect, but the finger felt strange inside of him. He pushed it all the way in, still feeling a bit embarrassed of the situation. Letting go of the breath he had been holding, Law started to slowly stretch his entrance and thrust the lubed finger out and in carefully. It felt weird. And embarrassing.

Kidd swore that the act before him was the sexiest thing he had ever seen before. Law's long legs parted, his bony finger awkwardly pushing into his entrance and his nervous and aroused eyes staring at Kidd so willingly. The way Law thrusted into himself was way too sexy to be real and Kidd wondered why he had agreed to wait so long. Then again, the sex would probably never have been this good if he hadn't waited.

To encourage his partner, Kidd made sure to kiss Law as the raven prepared himself. He carefully played with Law's sensitive and hard nipples as he kissed his boyfriend on the lips gently. The actions made Law moan and whimper loudly of pleasure. The illegally sexy sounds made Kidd even more aroused than before, and he really hoped that Law would be done stretching himself out soon, because Kidd was getting a bit impatient.

Unfortunately it ended up taking Law a few minutes. During the last while, Kidd removed his boxers as well and put the condom on and lubricated his erected length. He had to make this as comfortable as possible for Law after all. It was Law's first time and it was bound to hurt a little, but Kidd really hoped to minimize the pain for his boyfriend.

Law didn't miss the chance to ogle over his boyfriend's perfect body. Even if Law didn't like the fact that Kidd spent so much of his free time working out because it meant that they had less time to spend together, he always appreciated the beautiful muscles. Kidd's body was very balanced, the waist was precisely where it should have been, the shoulders were perfectly wide and his abs looked natural. Law loved Kidd's body. It was one of the most beautiful bodies Law ever had seen and he knew that Kidd most likely could be a model if he wanted to.

"I think I'm ready", Law mumbled after a while. He removed the fingers from his entrance slowly and lay down on his back on the bed. The way Kidd had been touching and kissing him during the time he had prepared himself had given him some confidence, though the fingering still had felt a bit awkward and unfamiliar. "Is this alright?" He looked up at Kidd with eyes fogged in arousal, hoping that his position was alright and not too awkward in any way.

"More than alright", Kidd said and crawled between Law's long and slim legs. "This might hurt. Tell me if it hurts too much and I will stop." Law nodded mutely and took deep breaths. He felt so incredibly aroused. Kidd was naked and on top of him, the heat of his body was literally radiating on Law and warming Law even if they weren't pressed to each other. They were so exposed to each other, so vulnerable, yet Law felt that he could trust Kidd completely. He felt so safe in Kidd's arms, he entrusted his body completely to the redhead for a while, letting Kidd take care of things.

When the tip of Kidd's cock pressed against Law's entrance, Law moaned of impatience. He didn't know what he was expecting, fingering himself had mostly felt weird and had even hurt a little. But he was sure that Kidd would do a better job, and the heat of Kidd's cock against his entrance felt endlessly sexual and only increased his arousal even more. Now the heat of their lower bodies connected and Kidd slowly pushed in, letting Law take him slowly and letting Law get used to the feeling. Law gasped at how much he stretched. Kidd had been right, it hurt. It hurt like hell and Law couldn't help but to tense his body at the unexpected pain. But he still trusted Kidd and didn't want to stop.

"Does it hurt too much?" Kidd whispered into Law's ear when he was all the way in. Law was really tense beneath him and the redhead was worried that it was hurting his boyfriend too much.

"No, go on", Law whimpered. It hurt, but not too much. Besides, they had barely started yet, Law couldn't give up yet. He knew Kidd would stop if it would hurt unbearably much. "Please move."

Kidd nodded and started moving. He kissed Law passionately as he thrusted into the raven slowly and carefully. Law seemed a bit tense beneath him, so the redhead tried to find Law's soft spot. It took him a few thrusts, and it really took Kidd a lot of patience to not lose himself to the immense pleasure of Law's hot entrance surrounding his cock.

Law didn't know what to think of the first thrusts. It hurt and all he tried to think of was that they were having sex and that sex was supposed to feel amazing. He really concentrated to find pleasure in the pain and tried to relax his tensed muscles, but he only kept tensing them. It hurt and Law didn't know how much longer he could take it.

Suddenly Kidd hit something inside of Law and Law felt a strange, electric sensation spreading across his body. The small whimper that left his lips came unexpectedly. It had felt good. Finally. Kidd missed that spot a few more thrusts until he suddenly hit it again. And again. And again. Law couldn't help the whimpers that unwillingly left his mouth as he enjoyed the sudden waves of pleasure. It still hurt, but the pain was worth it for those moments when the incredible feelings spread across his body. The heat in his own cock only increased with each time and he started to move his hips to make Kidd hit that spot more and more.

"Please move more", Law begged between his sharp breaths. Kidd continued thrusting into Law slowly and deeply, making sure to rub against Law's sweet spot as much as possible. Law moaned and gasped in pleasure, his hips wriggling and rocking to get more friction with Kidd.

They kissed each other again as Kidd kept on making love to Law as well as he could. Law instinctively wrapped one of his legs around Kidd's back and massaged Kidd's shoulders eagerly. The thrusts slowly became faster, but never painfully fast. Gasps filled the room and their lips connected several times. Law kept moving his hips in the right pace as he continuously mumbled Kidd's name. The pleasure was getting stronger than the pain and Law's mind got completely blank. He didn't think of anything else than that he loved Kidd and that Kidd felt so incredibly warm on top of him. He barely registered when their lips connected and parted, he was so concentrated on the immensely intense feelings he was experiencing.

When Kidd felt that he was close to having an orgasm, he gently wrapped his fingers around Law's length and moved them up and down while he thrusted into his partner. Law moaned and murmured his name as if he was in some kind of trance. His bony hands grabbed Kidd's shoulders tightly, his nails digging into the skin in pleasure. The hotness around his cock became overwhelming and Law only wanted more and more. The way Kidd kept touching him drove him crazy and Law felt how a hot and tight feeling started to form in his lower stomach, as if he had to release something soon, and as if he would feel wonderful as soon as he had released this something.

Kidd had never lasted this long before, but when he finally came, it had been worth the wait. Law came just a few seconds later, his cum ending up all over his torso. Law had never had an orgasm before, but it had felt amazing. He tensed his entire body when he came, gasped loudly and felt his sperm against his stomach. His brain was completely pumped with hormones and he felt extremely satisfied though his entrance still was throbbing of pain. The strong and tight feeling in Law's cock and lower stomach slowly subsided as complete satisfaction and pleasure took over. Then Kidd pulled out carefully and both men panted of pleasure. They lost the heat from each other's bodies.

"I love you", Law mumbled, still completely overwhelmed by the intense emotions. He knew it was a cliché to say that right after sex, but he did it anyway. Then he made some space for Kidd to lie down next to him as he panted in satisfaction. That had been strange, yet amazing. Law couldn't explain it. It just felt so utterly and completely satisfactory, his body was so relaxed now and his mind felt so peaceful.

"I love you too", Kidd grinned and lay down next to his nerdy boyfriend. Removing the used condom, Kidd threw it on the floor.

The couple crawled beneath the blanket and cuddled for a while as they spoke about different kinds of planets in the galaxy. Kidd also asked if the sex had been satisfying and Law replied that he hadn't known what to expect, but that it had exceeded all his potential expectations. That made Kidd happy, and the redhead revealed that he actually had struggled to be so slow and patient. Law said he was happy, and that next time he could try topping too.

After a while they took a shower together, got cleaned, threw away the used condom that Kidd had thrown on the floor, changed to their pajamas and went to bed. And then they talked about how they had met exactly one year before, and about everything that happened ever since. Sleep found them sooner than they wanted to, but tangled in each other's embraces, their dreams were just as wonderful as their realities
