I Wish I Had an Angel

by Wakahisa D. Manami

Law and Lucci know each other better than anyone. They've gone through so much shit together, experienced so many horrible things together, seen each other in such terrible states. They met in the circle, they belong to the circle, they fear the circle. They know they can't escape, but sometimes – sometimes they can't help but hope.

"What happened last night?" Kid asks him the moment he reaches his side.

"What do you mean?" Law asks back.

"You were crying out for me. I could feel it."

"I had an argument with my uncle, and he said something that hurt me."

Kid hugs him, and Law hugs him back as he presses his face into Kid's shoulder. He's too exhausted and pained to care that they're on the corner of his street and his aunt will see them if she happens to look out the window.
