Within Touch Yet Out Of Bounds.
Chapter tenth - Ten miles
It was autumn so the weather was heavy and thick. Rays of the sunset shined over the pair as they slowly made there way back to the Eustass brothers apartment. Although Kid was curious, he wasn't really a man who put his nose into over business. He had too much on his own plate to care less about Law's problems. Yet, he was curious. And like they say, curiosity killed the cat.
The silence was bitter cold and unwelcome. Those who were unlucky to walk pass by in a good mood ended up scowling - that was just how infectious it felt. Law was walking in front of him.; Kid behind and watching cautiously. Kid knew something was wrong with Law. He would of pass it off as embarrassment from seeing one of his night-stands because Kid knew that feeling too well, but somehow this felt different. Law had gone whiter than a ghost and he'd lied about his name. Not like Kid cared. Pfft no. Law could lie and sleep with whoever he wanted, he only wondered why Law had gone into shock.
As the slender raven haired man walked in front, Kid's eyes wondered down over the body of that seemed to be loved by many. Alex had seemed interested with Law's looks and so did other men. Kid couldn't deny that he'd notice many heads turning to this very attractive man. Moreover, Kid noticed that it wasn't just the expensive branded clothing the boy wore. Kid would be lying if he said he didn't find Law attractive. Heck, you must be blind if you couldn't see the perfection before him. It just left him to wonder why such a beautiful creation sells himself to others. Law could have anyone he desires yet he wastes his times on those below him. The poor people, as they are referred to. It was very strange.
However, Kid's mind wondered off to when Law's soft lips had collided with his own. A rush of desire suddenly rushed down his spine when he practically felt the lips touch his. Maybe his lack of sex was just making him crazy but if he'd ever got the chance again to kiss those lips he would sure of hell take it. At last, Kid knew Law would never try again. The worry of being embarrassed once more was quite the turn off.
A breath of wind blew passed the men. The fresh smell of mint and chocolate hit Kid's strange nose. He grinned at that very smell. Law really did smell nice. Extremely nice. The smell just enlightened every nerve on Kid's body.
"Eustass-Ya, you've been pulling the same face for the last ten minutes. Please stop." Law bored toned voice spoke as he stood before Kid with crossed arms and a frown. They'd arrived at the old block of flats Kid called home. He glared over his home with a satisfied smile and opened the block of apartments front door. Law faintly remembered this place and followed behind as the two headed for the lift.
Kid pressed the button and stood. Law standing besides him. He thought it would be a perfect time to extend the joke from earlier, "Because we're married, we should redecorate the living room. Add some colour in there."
Law raised a confused brow before chuckling softly, "What were you thinking?"
"Electric blue." Kid grinned.
With a snort, Law laughed, "You trying to blind your guests?"
"That is my soul purpose in life. So you can walk into my house and be blind."
The lift pinged and opened. A old woman begun to walk out but smiled to Kid when she saw him. He returned with a soft smile and moved out her away. Law watched the simple action and felt a string in his stomach. Kid was...quite a strange man. They both got in the lift as Law's eyes swept to Kid, the man was still smiling as he pressed the button.
"Your not as badass as you think you are." Law pointed out while the lift door closed.
Kid smile twisted into a smirk, "Your not as emotionless as you think you are."
A short journey before reaching the destination - Law could remember the irrating lift music and scowled. Kid just chuckled and whistled along to further annoy his new friend. Law sensed this man's need to piss him off and nudged him with his elbow. Kid returned the action. And Law gladly repeated. This went on until the lift door opened. Law went to walk out and so did Kid. Leaving them to badly attempt to squish out the small lift doors. It didn't go as planned and they spilled on the ground. Kid first than Law falling upon his back. Couple of groans release from the fusion. Law snapped up first and rescued the plastic bag leaving Kid face-palming the floor.
"Eustass?" Law asked and watched over the man lift off the floor slowly. The redhead had a small frown twisting at his lips but got up calmly. Law noted Kid for a second before lifting out the bag. "Here."
Annoyed, Kid fully stood. "Didn't you parents raise you with manners, when you fall on someone your meant to say sorry." Kid grunted and snapped the bag out of Law's hand.
The raven-haired shrugged his shoulders, "Not really, we were both in the wrong so I found no need to apologize."
"Egh, you're such a snob." Kid sneered and walked passed Law.
"And your such a bitch. Why have you gone in a mood over a silly thing?" Law questioned as he followed the man.
"Nothing."
"Doesn't seem like nothing to me."
Before Kid could reply there was a loud bang as they re-entered the apartment, Kid stopped himself from running into Justice only just. He sprinted to see what had happened. Only to realize that it obviously wasn't anything serious as Justice seemed to be keeled over in pain, no wait... she was laughing. Damn this was serious! He looked over the room only to find his brother laid flat out on the floor on his stomach, in front of Killer's bedroom door. His t-shirt half pulled up his back because the carpet liked its material to much. Justice still giggling at whatever had just happened went over and sat of the mans back, forcing the wind out of him with a groan.
"What the hell just happened." Kid tried to stop the grin that was slowly forming on his face.
A muffled voice answered his question, "Chucky."
"I brought the DVD, he stole it, then threw it. But then-" Justice broke out into more bursts of hysterical laughter. "He-he, he walked into the door- He even- dented it with his head!" She was still laughing.
"It's so not that funny. It really hurt." Alex grumbled again, rubbing his head. Looking up at the two new on lookers they also both burst into laughter. Justice still sending vibrations of laughter right through his back since she sat on him. "Whaaaat" He whined.
"You look stoned!" Roared Kid, his laughter subsiding slightly. "You have a red mark all down one side of your face, ahahahaa~"
"That's gonna hurt in the morning, guaranteed black eye." Law chuckled lowly as he lent down to get a closer look at the mans injury, "Are you drunk or do you generally get this hyper all the time?"
Alex blushed crimson, no he wasn't drunk he was just being an over excitable idiot.
"Bullshit he's not drunk, oh but he's embarrassed though look at his ears they've went all red." Kid cooed at his little brother like you would a child, and grabbed one of his red ears tugging on it playfully. Alex just pouted in response. Whilst Law focused on his un-aware sister, he could read er like a book, she really liked this guy. Her hand was resting on the mans strong shoulder as she sat on his back, every now and then twitching as if they wanted to move but wouldn't dare. By the looks of it the man she was sat on was effected aswell, the blush still staining his ears he moved his shoulder gently to indicate it was time to get off. So strange that Law could easily see the sexual tension between the pair, but he hoped they would refrain at-least for another few months.
Alex stood up and continued to rub the pained side of his head. "I'll go get my box of movies, be right back."
"Justice, Law? The movie cupboards over there under the TV if you want to go have a look?" Kid watched the pair vanish and re-appear crouched in front of the over stuffed cupboard. "I'll go make some drinks..." He trailed off mostly to himself as he backed into the kitchen.
Justice flicked though the movies - her face changing to weather she liked it or not. With a grin, she paused at one and pulled it out for her brother to see. 'Dirty Desire' was written on the top of the case and a picture on two men tonguing each other. Law grinned and nodded. Justice grinned back. "We're watching this first."
Alex walked back with a box of movies and raised a brow at the choice, "A gay romcom?"
"Oh God." Kid said in the kitchen, he walked in with four classes of coke.
Alex laughed, "You totally get off by watching two men at it. It's so hot."
"I agree." Law purred and winked to Kid playfully. The man gulped and put the drinks down on the coffee table and went to get some crisps.
Alex laughed, "Stop teasing him Law."
"Oh the teasing hasn't even begun yet." Law said under his breath, although his sister heard.
A/N - BUM BUM BUM!
