Within Touch Yet Out Of Bounds

Chapter 28 - Twenty eight chapter

Sometimes, Law really hated love songs. And he meant HATED them. The over use of the world 'love' and 'emotions' it drove him crazy. He was tempted to break the television or radio whenever a love song came on. Maybe this was because Law was scared of being in love or he didn't believe it existed. Fuck knows. Fuck cares. That wasn't the point Law was trying to make. Kid had gone from his side, although slightly disappointed to not wake up next to the redhead, Law could hear the shower. And mixing with the sound of running water was the delightful sound of the radio. Law took a stab in the dark and guessed Kid had switched it on before he'd gone in the shower and forgot to turn it off. Strangely, Law wondered why he hadn't woken up by it. Never-mind that, Law listened to the love song playing. The man sung about loving a woman he'd just met and how he wanted to marry her. Law admitted wanting to marry someone you just met sounded a bit far fetch but he ignored it and continued to listen. Strangely, Law could relate to some of the words the man sung.

"I wish the world would be on our side, for once."

Law wished the world would be on his and Kid's side. That Doflamingo would just accept him and his relationship. That Justice will be his little sister again and that Crocodile would take Doflamingo back. He wished that he could walk into his house with Kid and be greeted with welcoming smiles and not angry glares. He wished he could walk down the street holding his boyfriends hand and not worry. He wished...he wished he was normal! That he had a normal family and a normal life. He was old enough to move out, get a job and even get married yet he'd done none of it! He had money, his fathers had giving him enough. Why did it scare him?

This is stupid. He curled into a ball on the bed; his legs tucked into his chest and his arms around them. He'd finally had sex with Kid. Finally connected with the man he adored so much but he still wasn't satisfied. Why did he feel he needed Doflamingo's approval? Why did he want Doflamingo's approval? He wanted his father to look at him and go 'I'm proud of you'. But instead the man called him a whore...

"Do you think I'm blind you disobedient piece of dog shit? Just a snap of their fingers your already laid down with your feet pointing north!"

"You think that little of me?"

"I think worse than that."

His whole body tensed. What had he done that was so wrong to deserve his father to think so little of him? Because he used to sleep around? Does that make him worthy of his fathers hate! He quivered into the sheets as a few stray tears ran down his cheeks and nose. "K-kid." He cried out in a hasty breath. This is wrong. He should feel happy that him and Kid had finally made love. Not feel like...like he just disobeyed his father. "K-ki-kid." He continued to cry out his boyfriends name quietly, but there was no way Kid could hear him.

The bathroom door creaked open and Kid spoke but he stopped when he saw Law, "Hey Law do you want me to-Hey Law...what's wrong?" He crawled on the bed and tugged Law free from ball he'd created. The grey eyes which normally were emotionless were filled with pain and hurt. The tears burned down Law's paling checks. "What's happened?"

Law reached out and hugged Kid in a tight hug. The redhead didn't speak after that, he held Law back as the older man cried into his neck. He rubbed comforting circles into Law's naked back. When the sobs turned to slow breaths Kid laid Law back down on the bed, his hand running down Law's chest, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Law smiled weakly, "I'm sorry, I just got upset over something stupid."

"Don't lie to me, I can see right though that mask you constantly wear. Your thinking about your father, Doflamingo, right?" Kid expected this. He did. He expected that Law would break. Holding in your emotion will lead you to a meltdown or...a anger fit which ends up you beating your brother half to death. Law went to shake his head but paused. He looked to Kid's trusting yellow eyes and nodded. Kid smiled and stoked down the side of Law's cheek.

"I hate that you know me." Law admitted and closed his eyes and lend his cheek into Kid's warm hands.

Kid laughed quietly, "No you don't. You like knowing that someone gets you. You've been alone most of your life, your family don't understand you and you've barely had any friends. You sleep-slept around to give you that feeling of being loved however, it just made you feel like a whore. You lock yourself up because your scared that you'll be hated for who you really are. And that is a smart, amazing and caring guy. The guy that I fallen crazy for."

Something inside Law burst. Like a lock around his heart suddenly broke and disappeared forever. He looked at the seriousness in Kid's eyes and smiled a broad grin. "You are something else Kid."

"Nope, I'm just your boyfriend who cares too much to see you beat yourself up over their silly father." Kid kissed Law's cheek. "Now." Another kiss to Law's cheek, "Get your naked ass in the shower, your stomach all sticky."

Law laughed and shook his head, "Only if you'll join me Kiddy."

"Whatever you want princess." Kid picked Law up in a bridal carry and went to walk in the bathroom before his phone begun to ring. And ring. And ring. Law nudged his head; hinting for the man to answer it because it could be Alex. So, he placed the naked Law on the floor and answered his phone. "Er? Hello?"

"EUSTASS KID HOW DARE YOU INVOLVE YOURSELF WITH A MAN AND NOT TELL YOUR POOR OLD MOTHER. "

Kid gawked and glanced to Law who had heard the yelling but not what had been said. Law pointed to the shower and walked into it. Leaving Kid to continuously look in horror. Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. How did his mother know about him and Law? Did Alex do it to get revenge? That bastard! Or was it Killer. Killer is sneaky like that. "Hi mum, how you been?" He said nervously, itching the back of his head. He could hear the shower running and bite his lip. Fuck. Only now would his mother call!

"Don't 'hi mum' me mister. I want to met this man that has captured my dear sons heart! And I want details...details! Is he a looker? Have you already done the deed?"

Kid blushed, "MUM!"

"Well that's a yes." She chuckled, "Anyway, I have a more important matter. I'm coming down in two days-"

"YOUR WHAT!"

"Manners Kid! I did not raise you to interrupt others when they speak! What was I saying? Oh yes, your boyfriend father called. What a nice fellow. He mentioned you and your new boyfriend have settled and are happy so he wants us all to dine together. Isn't that sweet?"

His boyfriends father...wait. Crocodile or Doflamingo? By the sounds of it it sounded more like Crocodile. He doubted Doflamingo would say any of that. "Er-yeah mum, it's sweet. A bit out of the blue don't you think?"

"Nonsense. No time like the present."

Law walked back out the shower with a towel around his hips, "Kid?" He questioned worried. Kid looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Kid mouthed the worlds 'mother' and Law laughed.

"Is that him I hear?"

Kid rolled his eyes and blushed, "Mum, I'll talk to you later okay...I have to go."

"Fine. See you later hunny-bun."

"Yeah, bye mum." Kid put the phone down, "Holy shit!"

"What?" Law started to but his boxers on.

"My mum coming..."
