Happy New Year!
I wish everyone the best for 2021! May it be better than 2020.
Here's a little fluff chapter as a 2021 gift, which is adjusted to how 'fluff' Kid can actually get.
I hope you'll enjoy.

You've spent the evening with Suki on deck, catching up on everything that has happened so far, after showering and putting on some fresh clothes.
Suki never knew about you and Ace dating. The last time you've seen her was when you've just joined the Whitebeard pirates. Back in the past, you've told her that you had just planned on staying until you've mastered a few skills.
But you chose to stay because of Ace.

Then you were hiding from people who tried to capture you, without them even knowing how you look like.
Suki mentioned how often she has recognized you in many articles and how hundreds of islands wanted to know who you were.
When you've explained how you joined the Kid pirates and what happened between you and Kid, Suki looked at you sad and shrugged.
"Did you talk to him about it, (Y/N)? Maybe it's not like you think?", she tried to reassure you.

"I haven't.", you looked to the door, which led to the little corridor to his cabin. "I cannot take any more bad news, Suki. I need a break."
"We all do, honey. But people like us are not meant to be resting. Our lives are supposed to be complicated and full of pain.", Suki leaned onto the railing and took in a deep breath of one of Heat's jackets, which he had brought her.

"What about you?", you turned to her and smiled a bit. The sight of her being happy, made you realize that this was a rare moment for the two of you. You rarely saw her being comfortable around other men, which she usually pretended to be.
After taking in another deep breath, Suki talked about her last few years. She mentioned how often she had been kidnapped and imprisoned and how she escaped every time.
A few marine officers were chasing her because they wanted her to join the marine's but she always refused.

Suki also told you about the one time she met Lucci and spend a few days looking for you with him because rumors were spreading about you being nearby on an island.
"I actually was there and when I heard that someone was looking for me, I left.", you nodded at the memory of how everyone was talking about you.
A short slap on your arm brought you back to your senses.
"And I was worried sick, girl!", Suki shook her head and pulled the jacket back up.

You knew that it wasn't cold outside, not even for Suki. She just wanted to be surrounded by his smell.
"What happened while I was knocked out? How did you and Heat even get together?", you looked at her confused.
"Well, I took care of his wounds and he and Sova were the only one's not making any sexual jokes. Then I started talking to Heat because he always woke up earlier than the others.", Suki smiled at the thought of how they began flirting.

Nodding at the statement of him being an early bird, you remembered that Suki enjoyed waking up early as well instead of sleeping in.
"So we got to know each other and whenever I made my rounds to take care of everyone, I made sure that he was my last patient, so I could take my time.", Suki turned now to you and sighed. "I am allowed to stay here for a while. Kid promised me because I always brought him extra food."
You couldn't help but giggle at this exchange of promise and food, and looked up to the sky.

It was already past midnight and the moon was shining brightly onto the ship.
"I am glad that Lucci didn't tell the other CP0 agent's about knowing you.", you whispered and could hear her agreeing sigh.
"He is still an idiot though. I liked the idea of you two together.. why did he have to join those morons?", Suki added and hugged you tight. "But you and Kid look good together too. Please don't screw this up."

"Stop saying these things, Suki. I don't even know if this is an official thing or not. It has barely been a week.", you patted her back softly and couldn't help but realize how close you felt to him even though you didn't spend too much time with Kid.
It was too surreal.

"Shut up. You were asleep for three days and Kid barely looked away from you. The first and last thing he looked at was you. He wanted to fight Lucci and me, whenever we touched you.", Suki laughed and kissed your cheek once very hard by squishing your face.
She always did that because of how much she loved your reaction to it.
"Okay, stop. You're hurting my teeth!", you tried to push her away and when she finally let go, you groaned annoyed, "Kid always wants to fight everyone. It doesn't have anything to do with me."

"And I'm gonna fight you if you don't get into the cabin right now.", Kid clenched his teeth and slammed the door of the corridor close.
Suki and you turned to him immediately and you raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"You know our deal, kitten. I am going to bed.", Kid crossed his arms at his chest and looked at you serious.

You wouldn't even be able to describe how surprised you were. "After all this, you still think that this deal is up? What if I say no?"
"As long as you're on this ship, you'll have to follow the conditions and if you don't, you can go swimming.", Kid tilted his head and tensed his muscles. It pissed him off that he had to explain himself but he was not your captain so he had to find a way to make you do whatever he wanted you to.

"You're joking, right? You wouldn't throw (Y/N) off your ship?", Suki looked at him a bit nervous and didn't know if she should take him seriously or not.
"Of course. You can join her right after. I don't care if you're fucking Heat or not.", Kid added harshly.
You instantly looked at Suki in shock, "What? When did that happen?!"
"What do you mean when?! Didn't you hear them while you were showering?! I am sure the marine was still able to hear Suki moan her head off!" He shook his head annoyed and turned around before heading to the corridor.

Suki's face could challenge a tomato's color.
"Okay, apparently you've skipped through a few things that have happened.", you couldn't help but laugh and stood up. You kissed her cheek once softly as a goodnight and walked over to Kid, who took his time to get into his cabin.
You frowned at the sight of him suddenly hurrying up to not be too obvious and smiled a bit.

When you entered the room with him, you closed the door behind you and took off your pullover.
Kid was already in his comfortable clothes and sat down on the bed, watching you carefully.
"Will you tell me about this demon thing?", he asked a bit too cautious.
Your back was turned to him and you didn't know if you should tell him anything about it or not. There were too many risks and you weren't sure if you could trust him enough for it.

After taking in a deep breath, you nodded and turned around to him, leaning on the wall.
"I don't know much about these demons but I can tell you what I already know.", you looked down at your hands before thinking about where you could start and what you wanted him to know.

"There are 6 demons in this world and I own one of them. I don't know how they choose their bodies but they usually choose one, which has their favourite devil fruit power. My demon's name is Luna. She lives through the moon, I believe. At least, that's what she has told others."
Softly crossing your arms at your chest, you looked up to him.

Kid looked genuinely interested and watched you curious.
"Whenever I am in danger or my anger awakens her, she takes over to protect me. Usually, she kills everyone around me, not like the last time when you apparently knocked me out. I never know what she does but I do know that she has better control of my power than I have, which always shows me how much I still have to learn and train." You bit your lip nervously and leaned your head against the wall as you closed your eyes.

"You're scared of her.", Kid realized your sudden change of tone and posture.
You took a deep breath and needed a second to admit it. "Wouldn't you be?"
"I would probably lose my shit.", he scoffed and leaned forward, resting his arms onto his thighs. "Didn't Whitebeard teach you how to deal with her? I thought he was the know-it-all of his crew?"
"I never told him. I actually wanted to talk with Teach about it because he has one too."

When you heard Kid moving, you looked at him and his reaction startled you. He looked at you in shock.
"Wait, you can actually see, who has another demon?"
"No, I just met them already.", you frowned at his reaction.
"Who else has one? What sort?", Kid stood up and suddenly felt energized, kind of hyped up.

"I don't know what sort of demon they have, but Teach, my father, Zoro and this new bone guy in Luffy's crew have one.", you looked at him a bit nervous and weren't sure if telling him was a good idea. Especially because he immediately understood that there were different types of demons.
He knows something already..

"With you, we know about five. Straw Hat has two, I have one, your dad and that Blackbeard guy. So there is one more out there..", he began to walk around in circles and noted a few things in his mind.
You sighed sad and looked down before you walked over to the bed, feeling too exhausted from the day and this conversation.
Kid grabbed your arm before you passed him and pulled you close to him, lifting you with his metal arm below your butt, "This is some very important information, kitten. You don't have to worry about me telling anyone."

You looked at him surprised and held yourself up with your arms at his shoulders.
"Will you tell me about your business with the underworld now?", you whispered to him and pressed your lips nervous together.
Kid's muscles tensed and he looked at you silently for a few seconds before he let you down again.

"Killer and I joined them for three reasons.", he lifted his hand as he used his powers to turn the lights off.
When he laid down, he pushed you down with him into bed but he didn't show any sort of interest to take your clothes off or jump right onto you.
Without interrupting him, you listened to Kid intently and pulled the blanket up around your hips.

"The second reason was to collect the best weapons, find strong crewmates and being able to gather information about literally anyone, whenever needed. The third reason is because of a recent event." Kid stretched out his body before he looked at the dark ceiling and sighed, "When we were downstairs in the dining cruise, we heard someone talk about a woman, who works at a brothel without having sex. She was looking for a marine."

Your body froze at that information and you couldn't even comment on it. Hiding your face in your pillow, you groaned into it and turned into his direction again afterwards.
"But your demon killed them all. There's nothing to worry about.", Kid couldn't help but smirk and closed his eyes.
You looked at him for a while, studied his resting expression and looked down to his shoulder where his flesh connected to his metallic arm.

"What's the first reason?", you whispered again and looked up to his face only to see it make a painful expression.
"Just forget about it. I have told you enough.", Kid turned around, showing you his scarred back.
You sighed a bit disappointed but understood. Whatever it was, must have been really painful for him to admit. The other two reasons should be enough for you to accept as they didn't sound too bad, except the part where he admitted to buying slaves but described it differently.

"Good night, Kid.", you closed your eyes and cuddled into the pillow, only to suddenly feel Kid holding something against your abdomen.
You immediately opened your eyes again and saw him laying on his stomach. When you looked down to his flesh hand, you realized that he was holding his dagger carefully onto your belly.

Putting your hands softly onto his, you felt his hand shaking a little. "You don't have to force yourself, Kid."
He nodded and was only able to look at his dagger.
Even though you haven't spent much time with him and his crew, you couldn't remember seeing anyone ever holding his dagger beside him. Kid always kept it with him, on a belt around his torso.
You couldn't see anything that would answer your question or why he would hand it to you. But when you pulled the dagger out of its sheath, you saw an engraving on a side of the blade.
C. E.

"Your initials?", you looked up to him and saw him shaking his head before you looked down to it again, "So you're looking for someone.."
You softly stroked over the initials with your thumb and let the light of the moon show you it's beautiful engraving.
Kid eyed you now carefully and let his hand rest next to you without saying a word. It felt weird for him to watch someone else hold the dagger.
When you put it back into its sheath, you gave it carefully back to him and he swiftly moved his hand below his pillow to hide it again.

It felt like a very sensitive evening for both of you. Still, you weren't sure why you've felt bad for Kid, as if he had exposed more to you than you have to him.
When your hand moved up to your face, Kid frowned confused at you and his muscles tensed below his pillow. It seemed as if he'd think you'd take his dagger away from him.

But when you suddenly took off your wig, his eyes widened.
Kid froze in his current position and watched you put the wig to the side as your natural hair was showing. "I have seen you with your hair like that..", he almost whispered and surprised himself with it.
You nodded and smiled a bit tired, "Sometimes I add extensions to make my real hair look fake. It hurts to wear a wig every day but nobody ever notices whenever I don't."

Kid nodded and watched you for a while, taking your real you in for as long as he could.
Both of you were silent, just relaxing on the bed and enjoying each other's presence.
After some time, Kid took his flesh arm around your waist and pulled you closer to him. He turned to the side and pulled you tight to his chest, holding you close with his chin resting on your head.

You leaned your cheek onto his chest and sighed a bit, enjoying his warmth and protective arm around you.
"Kid..", you spoke quietly, worried that he was asleep already.
"Hm?"
"Why don't you want me to join your crew?"
His chest jumped up a bit as if he'd try to hold back a laugh, "Shut up, kitten."
