That was something that would piss him off if he wasn't already focused on S/O who laid on the ground a block away from him. They were so still that it shot a pain of realization down his spine and to his heart. S/O could be dead right now and he was too far away to even check. Cusing under his breath, his attention turned to the man who dare to shoot at S/O but was now too scared to move. Before the pathetic man knew it, Kid was standing tall in front of him and smashed him with his metal arm. Turning around, a small part of him truly believed he would see S/O standing up by now with nothing but a scratch. His heart nearly fell out of his chest when he came to see S/O still just laying there, they hadn't moved at all. Kid almost didn't walk over, as if him staying away from S/O's body would somehow make it all okay. But he knew he had to, making his way over the tall pirate gasped as he saw them turn over and begin to laugh out of relief. What in the world was going on? With closer examination, he saw that the bullet that was suppose to have killed them had instead gazed the side of their head, knocking them out for a few minutes. Kid had never felt so relieved before, but anger quickly bubbled up again. Did they not know the emotional roller coaster he had just been through? Without thinking, he reached down to pull them up by the arm, "Damnit, I almost lost you!" he growled, not thinking about his choice of words. S/O simply stared blankly at him for a moment before smiling, "Nice to know you care." they said. "I didn't say that!"/p
