Encounter at school

Law sighed as he grabbed his coat and stepped into the cold air outside. His son had gotten into a fight at school – again – and he was supposed to come to talk to him and the other boy and his parents.

Well, Penguin wasn't that much of a fighter when he wasn't challenged, so it would probably be the other guy's fault. Almost certainly. He had a fairly good idea who the other guy would be, as well. And secretly, he hoped he was right about that.

It was only a short walk to the high school that his son attended, so he'd reached the warmth again within ten minutes. Law knew the way to the principal's office by heart already. Not the least because the building hadn't changed much since he had attended this school himself – and he had paid plenty of visits to the principal's office in that time.

Law soon reached the room soon and peeked through the window. He grinned as he saw the kid with wild blond hair sitting in one of the chairs. Just as Law had thought. The boy's father was hot as hell itself.

Law knocked on the door and walked into the room, his smile already gone, as the reason he was here, was, of course, no laughing matter.

The principal, a woman named Shakky, nodded at him. "Ah, mister Trafalgar, I'm glad you could come."

Law nodded at her and sat down next to Penguin, giving his son a stern look, only to see that the boy was staring at the floor.

"That guy again?!" A loud voice entered the room, followed by a head full of red hair. "This is, what, the third time?!"

"Mister Eustass, please calm down and take a seat," Shakky asked him. "And please close the door behind you."

The redhead shut his mouth and did as he was told, while giving Law an angry look, as if this was all his fault.

Law just smiled back at him and asked, "So, what exactly happened?"

Shakky began to explain. "Penguin and Killer got into a fight again. There were three teachers needed to take them away from each other and one of our teachers has gotten a blue eye because of that."

Law leaned back in his chair. "Well, it doesn't really surprise me. I mean, what kind of upbringing are you giving the boy when you've named him Killer?"

Kid shot him a deadly glare. "It's a strong name, a sign that he can handle everyone. A lot better than naming your kid after a failed bird that can't even fly."

Law gritted his teeth. "Says the man who's never grown up, according to his own name."

"Like you do your name that much honor by never breaking any law."

"Gentlemen!" Shakky stopped them. "I was hoping we could solve the boy's disagreement, not start one yourself." The two supposedly adult men crossed their arms and after another scowl at each other, returned their attention to the principal. "Can you boys tell your father how it started?"

"He started it," the teenagers said in union.

Law looked at the two. "I can't imagine Penguin would start a fight."

"He kept freaking staring at me!" Killer defended himself. "I swear, it was creepy, and I don't like it when people keep staring at me."

"I didn't," Penguin mumbled, but he had pulled his hat a little further down as if to hide his slowly reddening face.

"It doesn't matter whether he did it or not," Law said before a smile could form on his lips again. "It's no reason to start fighting." He looked at Kid for support.

The redhead pursed his lips together, but then nodded. "No, it isn't. But it is annoying when someone keeps staring at you."

As a reaction to that, Law kept his eyes on the man, while he couldn't help but smirk.

"I can look at whatever the fuck I want." Everyone was surprised by Penguin's sudden outburst.

Law, still staring at Kid, nodded. "He is right about that."

"Well, not at me!" Killer spat.

"Gentlemen," Shakky broke into the conversation once again. "I suggest you talk about it, in such a way that I won't need to call you all here again." She tried to look all four of them in the eyes, forcing Law to tear his gaze away from the man he felt more attracted to than he should. "This is indeed, like you said, the third time already, this month, and I do have better things to do than solving the problems of sexually frustrated teenagers."

"What the hell?!" Killer jumped up. "I'm not sexually frustrated! Just angry!"

"Whatever is the case," Shakky continued on a soothing tone. "I suggest you talk it out once and for all, at home, or somewhere else you can sit quietly."

Law nodded, before anyone could protest. "That seems like a good idea. My place is nearby, you're welcome to come by for coffee or whatever you like to drink."

Both teenagers looked at their fathers, Penguin with widened eyes, Killer… Who knew how Killer looked, his hair covered half of his face. At least he didn't seem very happy with the idea. Kid seemed to think about it for a moment, but then nodded. "Yeah, let's get this over with."

Shakky smiled relieved and the four of them left the room. Killer announced that he still had to get some things from his locker and Law wrote down his address for Kid, so that they could come a few minutes later.

Law walked home with Penguin silently walking beside him. "So… Killer, hm?" Law asked his son.

Penguin looked away. "Killer what? Killer is a dick."

"Really?" Law smiled. "But a handsome dick, right?"

His son's face became red as a tomato. "No, the ugliest dick I've ever seen! Why do you say things like that?"

"You can tell me, you know," Law said reassuring. "If you are in love."

"I'm not in love! Yuck!" Still, Penguin's face had never been so red.

"Okay, let's call it a crush then. 'In love' might be a little too heavy," Law teased him.

"Yeah, you would want that, right? Because you have a crush on Killer's dad!" Penguin said, now pretending to be angry at his father.

Law chuckled. "Well, you are right about the last part. But that's not the reason I'm saying this."

Penguin's eyes widened as he had apparently not expected his dad would admit his feelings so easily.

"You don't have to be ashamed of it," Law continued. "If you like him, just go for it."

Law opened the front door of their home. "And they're coming over in a few minutes." He winked at his son. "It's like a double date."

Penguin quickly walked in, immediately greeted by their dog Bepo. "There's no way I'm going on a double date with my dad."

Law smirked victoriously at his son. "You just admitted the Killer part of the date wasn't a problem."

Penguin blushed again. "I hate you."
