This chapter takes place the same day as chapter 7 from IWIHaA, before Kid takes Law home.
Warnings for this chapter: Alpha possessiveness, The Breakfast Club references
Kid blinks when he notices Lucci and Jabra. The taller teen is talking quickly and seems very excited about something. Lucci is quiet as per usual, nodding every now and then, but there is a tiny quirk of his lips that's the closest thing to a smile Kid has ever seen him offer anyone else than Law. It's clear Jabra is interested in Lucci; he looks at him like Kid knows he looks at his boyfriend; like he can't believe this gorgeous creature exists and is right there. A cold hand slips into his and Law leans against him.
"What are you staring at?"
Kid wraps his arm around the slender waist and presses a kiss to his lips. Since Law is being so friendly there's no one around; Kid doesn't know why it's so important to his boyfriend, but goes along with it since it is.
"Jabra is interested in Lucci, look," he says, pointing at the two teenagers engaged in a fairly one-sided conversation.
Law tenses, and the Alpha frowns down at him.
"What?"
"Lucci isn't allowed personal contact with Alphas. His grandfather doesn't allow it. He'll freak if he finds out," Law replies anxiously, gnawing on his thumb.
"Stop that, you'll gnaw through the skin before you know it at this rate," Kid says, pulling the other hand in his. "He doesn't want him to mate?"
"You don't understand, Kid," Law mutters.
"How can I understand if you don't explain?"
"I can't."
"You're not allowed to?"
"I'm not allowed to," Law confirms. "Lucci and I- things are …"
"Bad?" Kid suggests. "Horrible? Traumatising?"
"My home life is unsatisfying," Law says with a hint of a grim, self-deprecating smile. "So is Lucci's. Leave it at that."
"Bender-unsatisfying or Ally-unsatisfying?" Kid asks, unimpressed.
"Leave it, I said," Law answers, leaning up to kiss him.
Kid is going to question him further, but Law's lips on his are very distracting.
