Within Touch Yet Out Of Bounds.
Chapter twelve - Twelve Chance
It was because of a fight. Once again him and Doflamingo had fought over the most stupid thing. He'd stormed out to his favorite bar, got drunk and forced himself on the nearest stranger to take his anger out on. What he didn't expect was the man to use him. The man was equally angry, frustrated and sex starved. Law liked the fact the man was more desperate for him than he was for the other. They'd met in the poor section of town, the same place Kid lived. Law was thrown against a wall of the alley, a tongue penetrating into his mouth. It felt awful. Disgusting. The man's hand felt greasy on his body. But Law was too drunk to care. To angry to care. To...to naive to realize what he was doing.
"What's your name?" The stranger growled. The clothing covering Law's bottom was rolled down.
A name? "Rory." Law lied with his eyes closed. He was pushed against the wall as he felt the man thrust into him. No lube. No preparation. It hurt like fuck. But did Law care? No. He didn't care at all. The pain was embraced with his anger and his carelessness.
When they'd finished...when the man was done with him. He dropped him on the floor like rubbish. He expected to be left alone in the alley. But the man dropped some money besides Law, "Thanks." When he'd left. Law choked. He choked back his anger...his tears. That man...that man had treated him like a whore. Fucked him and left him to deal with his problems on his own. The fact he said 'thanks' made Law want to vomit. He dragged himself home. And when the front door closed behind him, he felt two arms wrap around him.
"Law? Where have you been? Are you okay?" Justice asked worried. And then the tears ran...he just couldn't hold back the disgust he felt.
The second time they met, about a week ago, they had done the same. Law couldn't stop himself again. This time, the man took Law to a cheap love hotel. That's when he found out the man was married...with three kids...all the near age of Law.
Kid listened carefully to Law speak, every word showing the emotion and hate he felt. Broken was the only word Kid could think that described this man. A broken man. He couldn't resist as he pulled Law close into a hug. It was just like his mother. The way she felt after one of her night-stands. Kid arms circled around Law's waist. The older man nervously put his arms around Kid neck and nudged his head between the taller mans' neck. This felt nice. Law melted into the warmth Kids body was giving off. He couldn't deny that something was blooming between them.
...
Back in the living room Alex had returned and was sat relaxed on the couch watching Justice bob around the millions of films at her feet. "They are hugging in there i just know it." Alex commented, seeing a hopeful look on the women's face as she turned around.
"How do you know you can't see through walls... or can you see round corners?" Justice asked cockily looking back at her now arranged piles of movies. Ones to her left Horror, the ones to her right action.
"Go check. I'm being serious, twins are telepathically linked you know." Alex looked at her with a serious face but then it broke into smile. "What?"
"Fine." Justice skipped over to the kitchen door and peeked in through the open crack to see her brother and Kid. Oh, they were hugging. Didn't mean they were telepathically connected, it was just a lucky guess. She walked back over and sat beside Alex and sighed. "You were right."
"I'm shocked they haven't done the deed yet, considering Kid kept staring at Law all lovingly." Alex made kissing noises and pretended to swoon, "Hey wait you forgot that film there! That film is the best i literally am the guy in the film." Alex lent forward slightly pointing to a DVD case. Justice picked it up and laughed.
"You think you're the guy from tangled, fine do an impression of him." Justice crossed her arms, she couldn't wait to see this.
"Okay, i was hoping i wasn't going to have to do this but here it comes." Alex looked down then looked up with squinted eye's and raised brows. "The smolder..." Then they both burst out laughing.
"It's a good film, but i don't think Law would like it. We are such five year olds Alex liking a Disney film." Justice looked to the kitchen door, they still weren't back.
"Disney is fabulous, Lion King though, i can't deal with it. Scars voice actor just kills me." Alex faked death and slouched on the couch, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Justice giggled.
"You know i think Law likes your brother." Justice sounded a bit annoyed. If he did...then she knew Law was only setting himself up for heartbreak...again.
"I know, i think he likes him as well, but he thinks he's straight."
"Oh, well." Justice waved off the subject just as the other two entered with more refreshments and snacks.
Law couldn't bare to look at his sister, knowing that with one look she'll just know. Placing the snacks down on the table, he sat back on the sofa, this time sitting in Kid's seat. Kid grinned at the over two and put down the drinks. "Have you decided what were going to watch?"
Justice glared at her brother, expecting him to look at her. He was hiding something and she wanted to know what. Alex answered his brother nervously, "Er...what about woman in black, Justice?" He asked and the girl ignored him and continued to look at her brother, "Law?"
The older man flinched and looked to Alex, "Sure." He said in the best, confident voice he could. Justice frowned and stood.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Kid sat down next to Law and smiled, "You okay?"
Alex raised a brow at his brother sounding...caring. What the fuck is happening? He went to the DVD player and put in the disk. He keeped a ear out to hear their conversation.
"I'm fine. It's nothing." Law said small.
Kid got closer to him, "Okay."
Law wanted to rest his head on the man. He mostly wanted the man to hug him again. Kid arms get so calming. So soothing.
Justice stormed back out the toilet and jumped on the sofa, "Turn the lights off and lets start this shit!" Alex grinned charmingly at the girl. Kid laughed and Law smiled weakly. The lights were flicked off by Alex he sat next to the girl in his original seat. As the movie played, Kid could see Law' hand on his own leg and he felt so tempted to just swoop it into his own. He was losing him mind.
It wasn't long until the movie was other. A few jumps and shocks but overall it wasn't that scary. Well, considering who these four were, nothing could really scare them. Law felt tired. It was about half twelve. Kid was the one to call it a night. He could see Law drifting off.
"Justice you'll sleep in my bed, my rooms tidy unlike Kid's." Alex said, hinting towards sexual things. Kid remembered the many empty condom box's in his draws. Thank God Law didn't see them the last time he was round. "Law you'll have Kid's."
Law nodded and automatically went to the room. Justice went to question why he so quickly knew where Kid's room was but remembered at the last time he was hear. Kid trailed after Law with the older man luggage. The raven-haired man stood in the middle off the room where he sighed loudly. "Why the sigh?" Asked Kid as he sealed the door closed.
Law crossed his arms, "It's still a mess."
Kid chuckled and dropped Law's bag on the bed, "But look, clean sheets."
"I'm so happy I wouldn't be sleeping in the smell off you." Law sneered playfully and went to his bag and zipped it open.
Kid could stop the comment from running out his mouth, "Why? So you won't get a boner."
There was a silence as Law eyed Kid up and down before he smirked. Law advanced forward. "I don't need your sheets to get turned on."
Okay, this was getting weird. Kid didn't like the effect Law's words were having on him. He blinked at the man and quickly changed the subject. "The bathrooms is the last door...I'll just be going-"
"Eustass-ya?" Law purred, "Your not going to leave me alone are you? I'm your guest."
Kid nearly groaned. Oh shit, Law was actually turning him on! What the hell is wrong with him. "Law?"
Suddenly the man moved around. He took off his jumper, than jeans, socks and shoes. Kid stood gawking at the man. Fucking hell he was hot...and fit. And that tanned skin-"What the hell are you doing?"
Law blinked, "I'm getting ready for bed, what you doing?"
"Oh." Kid said distant, a bit breath-less. He was losing his mind. Law pulled the cover up and got in. He looked at Kid for a while before relaxing back. Looking so delicious.
"Come here." Law purred. Kid felt his legs move towards the man before he sat down next to Law. The raven haired man sat up and moved close. Law's hand latched onto the back of Kid's neck, long and short red hairs tickling his fingers as he pulled him down to meet his lips. Kid didn't resit and wasn't taken by surprise. Law began moving his lips against Kid's softly, his hands coming up and wrapping around Kid's shoulder's, draping over it. Kid's lips moved back, causing Law to moan in approval.
When they broke away to breathe, Law sighed happily, "Do you want this?" He asked sad.
Kid looked into Law's eyes before capturing the man's lips again in another kiss. He was confused and worried but all he wanted to do was kiss this man.
...
"Alex?" Justice murmured, squinting as the TV was suddenly turned off and the blackness of the room left her seeing white squares from the brightness of the TV.
"Come here, you look exhausted." Alex's voice was raspy, as a yawn ripped through the end of his sentence stopping him from saying anything else.
Justice suddenly felt herself being lifted up and cradled from her position on the sofa, soft bumps as Shoeless feet hit the carpet and headed toward a doorway. Everyone was tired, Kid had let Law sleep in his bed, and now she got the comfort of sleeping in Alex's.
"You sound how I look then." Justice hummed again, she felt strangely relaxed in this small apartment. She was fighting to keep her eyelids open. "Your pretty strong you brute." She gave a weak punch to Alex's arm and let her arm hang again.
"You know where the bathroom is, if you need anything I'll be outside." Alex placed her gently onto the double bed as if she would brake if he dropped her. He covered her in the sheets and gave her lovely grin. Then he left… Well tried to leave.
"Why can't you sleep in your bed?" Justice asked feebly, she couldn't sleep well alone, no matter how tired she was. Unless she had a life size teddy bear or was in her own bed.
"Because you're in it, it's a big bed but we're both very tall. And I'll probably take up most of the room." Alex didn't understand what she was trying to do.
"But I can't sleep alone."
"What about when you're at home?"
"do you have a life sized teddy bear?"
"No." Alex sighed, he trusted himself not to do anything and he was way too tired anyway. But did friends do this? He got in lying on his back and staring at the ceiling, kicking his socks off and tugging his shirt over his head. "Just until you fall asleep."
"Did you need to take your shirt off?" Justice asked wearily, keeping her distance on the bed.
"Hey, it's shirt or trousers. Deal with it." Alex heard the women next to him sigh and relax back into the pillow.
"Hurry up and get to sleep." He yawned again, stretching out his arms and his legs in habit.
"Erm, this is awkward. But… can I ermm hug you?" Justice spoke with caution she didn't want to cross any lines.
"If you want."
She shuffled closer to the mass of heat, putting one hand flat out on his chest resting her head on his arm. She regretted the first immediately. "You're so warm." She almost purred, smiling against the pale skin, though she couldn't see anything in the darkness of the room.
"D-don't do that. It tickles" Alex's tired voice reached her ears, just as a large hand grasped her own. She had been moving her hand over his chest and abdominals. Her hand now pressed against a hard muscled stomach.
"S-sorry." Justice could feel herself blush as the hand didn't let go of hers. Suddenly the large hand began to move it's thumb over her skin soothingly before it let go.
"It's okay." Alex half whispered as he began to drift off himself.
A/n - Ohhh and the drama hasn't even started yet. ;)
