Heart of strings
Ch 7 – What we want most
"Kid you are being completely irrational." Killer worryingly said as he watched his captain storm back and forth in front of him as he sat on the dingy couch in the library where he had been reading.
"No I'm not! Now just listen and you will understand!" Kid yelled straining his voice.
Killer let out a small sigh and put the book he was reading down. "Continue on then."
"Ok so I did some thinking after Trafaldick had that emotional breakdown, and I came to the conclusion that the bitch was trying to make me fucking pity him."
Killer tilted his head to the side in confusion. "How can you conclude that he wanted pity from you?"
"Well he was fucking talking himself down so what else could the fucker want?"
"It could be anything Kid. Maybe he was telling you all that for something more important."
Kid let out a snort. "Ha do you really think that fucker would actually do something stupid like what he did to convince me of something important?"
"That would be insisting that he thinks you aren't very bright."
"So he was calling me fucking stupid?"
"No, I don't believe he was."
"Then what the fuck was he trying to say?"
"Since I was not involved in the conversation between the two of you, and from what information I have received so far it's hard to say. Though if my ideas are correct then he might have been trying to tell you that he has suffered throughout life and he has to deal with all of these straining emotional problems that could be acting as a barrier to what he wishes to do and say. He doesn't want pity from the feel of it, he's just afraid of something I think."
Kid raised an eyebrow at Killers statement but remained silent as his first mate raised a hand telling him to wait.
"I would describe it to possibly be of psychological problems and possibly of physical ones as well, and with your personality in mind it could cause him to suffer through something like a cognitive trigger at times. He's built himself a shell in basic terms that has cracks all along it. He may think you are either the problem for this or the fix possibly."
Kid wasn't sure how to respond to Killer. His first mate did this to him sometimes when he would try to explain something Kid did not know. Though it wasn't like he could not ask his first mate to give an easier explanation on the topic, but then he would institute the idea that he was oblivious on the topic. Waiting for an easier to understand description was his only option at the moment.
Killer stared at his captain from behind his mask waiting, hoping the captain had actually understood him for once, but it seemed as if he hadn't. Killer shook his head and stood up.
Realizing that Kid, once again wasn't getting it he stood up and shook his head. Considering he could only clue him in so far as it was not his problem to deal with, well not personally butt it was his captain that it affected so he had some involvement, but not to bluntly give the answers away. "I'm sorry captain, but I cannot give any other justification to what he could have meant. You will just have to figure it out this time, sorry."
With that Killer left the library, in hopes that Kid would think about it, and hopefully figure out what Law had wanted the red head to understand. Though he didn't understand the full circumstances which befell the other captain, he was sure he was correct on his assumptions.
A muffled "Fuck you" could be heard as Killer walked away.
Taking his turn to sit on the deteriorating sofa which groan at his weight being placed on it, a sigh being sounded in return as Kid brainstormed over the vague information he got from Killer, as well as what had been yelled at him by Law.
Mumbling to himself he tried to understand kids words "A shell with cracks in it? Does that mean he's fucking going crazy or something? Like he's fucking acting this way because he feels like he's showing off who he really is." He was stumped because it seemed stupid for Law to show something like that off to another pirate, especially with someone with a bad reputation like him. He killed people for things like that. He hated people who sat there and cried and whined about their damn fucking problems. But Law hadn't cried or whined once to him, only every getting angry or pushing him away. How would that be trying to show him something? Seemed almost the opposite almost, like he was pushing him away from the problem, to deter him away from what he was doing.
Standing up he realized what Law was doing. The fucking asshole was breaking apart and rather than crying about it and showing him the problem he pushed him away, because Law knew he would laugh at him for it. Call him weak and inferior because he couldn't handle what was happening in his life.
Laughing he marched off to his bedroom, grinning ear to ear. Sure he was slightly pissed that the other had been acting like a bitch he realized the other was pretty damn smart about it. No, he didn't want to deal with other people's shit but he had grown attached to Law. He was going to deal with this problem head on though by finding Law and killing whoever was making his bitch whine. He needed Law, though he'd never be one to admit it he'd hate to lose the sick bastard.
Slamming his bedroom door behind him he reached for his den den mushi , then sitting back on his bed he dialed Law up. Hearing the waiting tone he silently listened for the other to pick up already. He knew Law carried a small on his body at all times. Though after a small amount of waiting he hung up, slightly annoyed that the dark doctor hadn't answered his call. Placing the snail onto the small bed side table he kicked off his boots and removed his jewelry and weapons. He wasn't going anywhere any time soon so he didn't see the need of keeping anything unimportant on.
Yawning slightly, his mind began to drift back to before all the nonsense with Law started. How their relationship seemed completely fine, well normal for two wanted pirates at least. It had been thrilling for him, especially when he got a rise out of Law. It wasn't often that the two could meet up but when they did, their time was usually spent either shit talking or fucking around. Be it on Law's exam table, or on top of any flat surface available it was always exciting. When Law would mewl in pleasure or pain, or his back would arch as he racked his nails down Law's dark mocha skin. It got better when the other contributed as well, like biting just enough to break the thin layer to allow blood to streak down him. It sent shiver down his spine every time and he fucking loved it.
Which brought him back to his current problem where he had believed Law had loved what he got from him, so when the other freaked out on him he handled it in the moment and didn't bother to think maybe it had possibly been him who had just enjoyed it and Law had taken it as a punishment possibly.
Shaking his head at the idea that he was even thinking about how he had been in the wrong about it made him pissed. Not like Law every really told him he ever disliked his treatment, no it was only ever whining coming from the other, which Law should have known he wouldn't have taken seriously. He was a pirate with a known love for inflicting pain onto others.
Considering these thoughts he realized it had been quite a while since he had last taken care of himself pleasure wise, especially with Law not in the picture at the moment. Recalling up some of the more savory moments with the dark doctor he could feel the beginnings of arousal alighting up in his gut. Trailing a hand down his bare chest he pinched his own nipples painfully, eliciting a low growl from himself.
The thrill of pain always got to him, and Law was definitely good at doing that to him. Especially any of the times a blade was involved, the stinging feel of a sharp blade cutting into his skin and watching the other man lick up the trail of blood it produced. Fuck, if he hadn't gotten hard from just that thought alone.
Cupping his growing arousal beneath his pants he let out a low groan, enjoying the slight friction he got from stroking himself, though quickly getting frustrated he hastily threw his pants and underwear off to allow his slightly straining erection free of its confines. Looking down at the hard length he tried to imagine what he would get Law to do to get him off.
Tilting his head back he closed his eyes and grabbed his arousal tightly with his hand, eliciting a growl he teased the mushroomed tip, spreading the small bead of cum that had gathered there. Licking at his lips he slowly stroked up and down his shaft, his other hand trailing down to cup his balls and draws them towards his body. Rubbing a finger along the frenulum of his cock he bit as his bottom lip as that was a fairly sensitive spot that Law just loved to take advantage of.
Desperate at this point he hastily sped up the pace of his hand, using the leaking fluid from his erection to lubricate his hand slightly, making it easier on him to continue stroking at a quick pace. Groans of pleasure increasing, even as he bit his lip hard enough to draw blood which he quickly sucked on as he enjoyed the slight metallic taste during his bought of pleasure.
In turn Kids actions sending his imagination of Law doing dirty things to his aching cock spiraling out of control. Oh how he wished that he could have Law here now sucking him off, teasing his foreskin and dragging his teeth down his heated arousal lightly that would send shivers up his spin and curse out at him, even though he loved it. Those dark hands snaking up his contrasting pale skin, clawing down his chest and pinching his nipples hard. Small specks of blood following the lines of the scratches on him, fuck he wasn't sure he could last much longer now.
The tight burning feeling in his gut was building up hard and he knew it wouldn't be long before he spilled over. His breath labored and a light layer of sweat covering his body he hit his peak and crumbled over. Hot liquid squirting onto his chest he let out an almost feral growl as he came, his body shaking slightly as the tension stored up was all released.
Coming down from his high he could feel his body melt into his soft comforter. His hands dirty from the liquid that had seeped onto them were wiped partially clean on a small towel he had kept near his bed that had also been slightly covered in oil from when he had been working on other things. Tossing the towel over to his small work area on the other side of his bedroom he let out a content sigh.
Fuck had that been good, but he really wished Law had been here to help him play out his fantasy for real. Lifting himself up he grabbed a blanket to cover his bare lower half. Picking his transponder snail's receiver up again he dialed Law up again, hoping the man would pick up this time as Kid had something he wanted to say to the other. The moment of euphoria from earlier had cleared his mind and he had begun to realize maybe he should apologize for something for once in his life. Maybe he did cause Law some anguish but he certainly hadn't broken Law, but he could still say sorry as best he could no matter how much he hated that word.
Listening to the ringing of the snail he waited patiently to hear the small click like always of Law picking of his smaller snail. The ringing went on for a while before the click was finally heard.
"Finally you picked up, what the hell could you have been doing where you couldn't pick up quicker?" He yelled slightly, as he really wasn't the most patient man around.
Muffled sounds were his only reply, before a voice actually sounded on the other side. "Ne, ne who are you mister?"
Raising a non-existent eyebrow at the fact that it wasn't Laws voice he was hearing but some high pitched piss ass instead. Oh he certainly wasn't happy now, and the asshole that picked up instead of Law would certainly face his wrath, well verbally for now.
"Like I have to fucking answer that question you cunt, where is Law? He can't be that damn busy he can't pick up the damn snail!"
"Ma, someone is certainly crabby isn't he" The high pitched voice was certainly not helping Kid's temperament, especially the annoying giggles that followed it. "Anyway he's busy entertaining young master at the moment. I can imagine how much fun they are having, I can already hear the sounds coming from the other room." The voice laughed.
Kids temper instantly rose and he almost crushed the receiver in his hands had he not dropped it first. Picking it back up, he yelled into the receiver. "The fuck do you mean by entertaining! Like that asshole would fool around with some random bitch."
He could hear the other cringe on the other side at how loud he had yelled. "No need to be so loud mister. It's true though. Law-san absolutely enjoys it though, why else would I hear him scream master's name? Anyway aren't you just some random bitch, ne?"
Oh this was just it for Kid, jumping off his bed he threw on a pair of pants and yelled into the receiver one last time. "Ya well if he's having so much fucking fun, then what's stopping me? Tell that fag I'm done with his skinny ass and your Master can keep him for all I care." Hanging up the phone he stormed out of his room and headed towards the navigators room, throwing the door open and yelling at the man that they were going to port at whatever damn island that they came by next that was inhabited. If Law could have so much fun screwing other people after that damn fit he had and wouldn't submit to him, then he would have some fun fucking around in the next local brothel.
Storming down to the inner workings of his ship he began tinkering with old projects to get his mind off Law for the moment, as thoughts of murdering the man weren't going to do anything at the moment. Of course he had passed Killer who had tried to calm him down as he was sure the blond man had heard him yelling from where ever he had been. There was no way Killer was going to calm him down right now, as his blood was boiled way too much to calm down so fast, it wasn't in his personality.
For now he'd focus his rage on crafting metal objects, as it usually worked well as a stress relief when someone fucked up on his ship and he had nowhere else to go besides be on his ship. That or Throw the moron over board, which sounded good at the moment because there was a certain fucker that had been getting on his bad side, but as appealing as it sounded he wasn't in the mood for it anyway.
"Oh who was that Dellinger?" The woman sitting by the window asked as she had overheard the conversation between the boy and the angry man on the phone.
"Hm, I have no idea actually. It was really fun to rile him up though. I can't believe he actually believed me and got so angry. Wonder what his connection with Law-san was."
"Sounded like an alliance with benefits most likely. Guessing he got too attached to Law and is angry at the idea of the other playing around behind his back, either way not our problem." Shrugging her shoulders she realized she hadn't asked the most obvious question. "Where did you even get the snail from?" Baby 5 asked as she walked up to Dellinger, tilting her head slightly at it.
"Oh, young master said I could have it and do what I liked with it. Though I wonder if he'd want it back knowing he could use this as leverage on another victim."
"You could see, though I think he's busy at the moment so I wouldn't bother him right now. He's taken up the throne room now I think though if you want to wait for him." She responded as he began heading down the hall. "Anyway I got things to take care of, have fun I guess."
Smiling down at the phone Dellinger decided he may keep it for a little longer and see what other fun he can have with it. Maybe he's get lucky and the enraged man would call back so he could taunt him more, he certainly didn't have anything going on at the moment. Skipping off with a grin on his face he headed towards his room, unaware of the man sliding across the ceiling having heard all of his conversation with Baby 5.
Dropping down off the ceiling he made his way to the throne room, off to tell young master what he had learned as it would seem young Dellinger was more into having all the fun himself.
Slipping into the room he observed the tall blond man sitting in the window, his back facing to the door. He knew that the other could tell he was there though. "What is it Trébol?" The man asked in a low tone.
"Behehe, just wanted to tell you that Dellinger got a call on that snail you got off the troublemaker Doffy. But the young boy is being selfish and is keeping the phone so he can have all the fun to himself!" He exclaimed as he got incredibly close to the feathered man.
A grin cracking open on his face he turned to Trébol, using his leg though to push the other man back slightly. "Oh did he now? Hm I won't punish him for it, but I'd like you to bring him here, I have something to ask of him."
"Yes sir Doffy!" Trébol smiled as he snorted his nose to try and suck the snot dripping down his nose back up. Making his way out of the room he headed towards where he knew he would find Dellinger.
Back in the throne room the grin was still present on the large man's face. "This game has gotten more interesting now that we have this little pawn in our grasps. I can't wait to see how I make this one squirm." The voice laughed as he jumped off the windowsill and headed to the opposite side of the room.
Walking down the halls he turned towards his room, pushing the two large doors open and closing them softly behind him as not to disturb to unconscious man on his bed. Walking up beside the bed now he looked over the smaller figure splayed out on the bedspread. Raising a hand he dragged his fingertips across the tattooed chest and placed his fingers under the darker man's chin, pushing it to the side as he looked over the beautifully unmarred skin that he would mark up himself like an artist to a canvas. Moving his hand away he headed back to the door. "I'll be back child, just you wait for your master to return and then you can pleasure me after we have a little talk." He grinned as he closed the doors behind him and headed back to the throne room to have a chat with Dellinger about that phone call.
