Within Touch Yet Out Of Bounds.

Chapter seven - Seven Soul

The apartment looked as if someone had poured a bin over and decided to dance around. They ran in in a hurry slamming the door behind them and searching around for Killer he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Unless he was buried beneath the mountain of garbage that was covering the entire place. Alex had a feeling he would have an OCD moment later on, though they should all try and clean up.

"Hey! I'm in here guys!" Killer yelled from his room. "But don't come in straight away-! I- um!- COME IN WITH YOUR EYE'S CLOSED!" Killer yelled as he saw his door fly open and the twins standing there in slight shock and horror staring at him. "I said with your eye's closed!" Killer yelled infuriated. And awkward silence hung in the air as Alex and Kid looked at Killer, then at each other, then back at Killer. Then they were in fits of laughter on the floor, rolling around and clutching their stomachs.

"How the hell did you end up like that?!" Kid yelped as another wave of laughter took him over.

Killer was handcuffed to the headboard of his bed with both hands above his head and was stark naked. Blushing furiously as the other two men laughed their asses of at him.

"Someone's kinky." Alex joked, sending them into another fit of laughter.

"Stop fucking laughing and find the damn key!" Killer screamed, this was getting beyond the joke now. "I think she put it in the drawer." Killer motioned his head towards the bedside table and glared at them to hurry up.

"Wait, wait, wait. How the hell did you text us when you are all tied up?" Kid asked a look of genuine confusion on his face.

"That was her, she thought it would be funny for you to see this." Killer grunted in dissaproval, though he was glad she did in a way because otherwise he'd have been their for hours.

"She was right though, it is pretty funny." Alex walked over to the drawer and raked through it, pulling out a small silver key. Then he leaned over and unlocked his friend from the cuffs, clipping them around one of his belt loops instead, and putting the key in his pocket.

"You still haven't answered my question, why did she tie you up like that? Must have done something really bad." Kid commented crossing his arms as Killer began to put his clothes back on.

"I only slept with her sister, the phyco bitch." Killer grunted in response, pulling a grey t-shirt over his head.

"Cuz' thats normal" Alex and Kid said in unison, grinning at each other and high fiving as they left the room.

"Yea, you can keep them aswell Alex. I don't want them back." Killer called from his room as they left and shut the door.

"Thats good, because i wasn't planning on giving them back." Alex chuckled sitting down on the sofa, he suddenly felt exhausted. "So Kid...when we met why did you look whiter than a sheep? Something happen while at Law's?" Alex commented, throwing a sideways glance to his brother in the kitchen as he flicked through the TV channels.

Kid stole a cup from the cupboard and filled it to the top. "Nothing interesting." He drunk the water thickly and harsh.

Alex heard the gulp and raised a brow, although he was snickering under his breath, "Have sex with him?"

The water spurted out of Kid's mouth with wide-eye shock.

The raven haired boy was sat in a deep thought on his bed. His back hurt yet he couldn't be bothered to care because Eustass Kid had denied him. Rejected him for sex. A thing that had never happened. It felt foreign. A strange world that had been open before him. A hint of respect was directed at this young redhead. The man wasn't like the other men he'd had the pleasure of being with. Oh no, Eustass Kid was different. Law felt more interested in this man. He wanted to know this man. Even develop a relationship with him. Friends or enemy's. He wasn't picky.

Footsteps stopped at the door as a tall blonde peered in with anger burning in the core of his shaded eyes, "Law-"

"I didn't have sex with him." Law answered before hi father could say anything, "I'll admit I attempted. But as you can see, it failed. Now leave. I would like to sleep." Law turned on his side and closed his eyes to think more.

Doflamingo lip twitched but he left. Not saying a single word to his son. Which was probably for the best. He could sense something...but he needed time to think of what it was. The older blonde stormed down the stairs as he passed varies staff of the house. The maids smiled nervously as they continued with cleaning the house. Doflamingo paid them no mind as he continued to scowl though his house. His dress shows slammed heavily down on the marble floor as he entered the large living room where Crocodile was pouring a drink of rich whiskey for himself. The man golden eyes slowly met with Doflamingo's and he raised a brow. "Bird?"

He stayed silent as his eyes darted to the drink and in a flash he drank the remains from the class. Crocodile went to object to his drink being drank but Doflamingo sighed heavily and flopped down on the expensive arm-seat. "He lied."

Crocodile knew exactly what Doflamingo was hinting to and he rolled his eyes. Taking out another glass, he poured them a glass of whiskey and ice. The younger man took off his glasses and placed them on a end table as he rubbed his tired eyes. This problem Law had...was a pain. His lover came back over with a glass and placed it before him, "Tell me."

"I thought you hated it when I told you my problems." Doflamingo said as he took the glass. Crocodile sat on the larger sofa besides Doflamingo's one.

Taking out a cigar, he lit it, "If it's about Law, then I have to care."

Doflamingo went to say something but just opened his mouth and closed it. He took a sip of his drink and spoke slowly, "Law...has been going out a lot."

"You'd expect that from a boy of his age." Crocodile protested. "Don't make me remind you of what you acted like when you were twenty."

"I know." Doflamingo pouted before scowling again, "It's every day. A different guy every night. I never acted like such a slut-"

Crocodile looked blankly at the man before blowing out smoke, "Really? You think you were different?"

"I never slept with a poor person...imagine the diseases." Doflamingo blurted out.

Crocodile snapped his brows and held his tongue as Doflamingo suddenly looked shock and went to deny what he just said. He got up. "I'm leaving-"

"Croccy...I'm sorry. I didn't mean it-"

Crocodile had already left the room.
