This is chapter 17 from IWIHaA seen from Kid's perspective.

Warnings for this chapter: Alpha/Omega, hurt/comfort, sexual content, Kid being a big, cute, cuddly teddy bear is one of my head canons - but only when it comes to his friends!


Law is shaking, and Kid tucks the duvet closer around him without taking his eyes off the screen. He loves this movie and doesn't want to miss any of it though he's seen it a thousand times. The action is just starting when he realises Law is crying.

"Shit," he says as he scrambles to move the laptop onto the nightstand. "Is the movie too much? I'm sorry, I should have realised it could be triggering. I'm really sorry, Law." Kid wraps his arms tight around his boyfriend and Law buries his face in his neck as he chokes on a sob. "I'm here," the Alpha murmurs. "Right here. I'm not going anywhere. You're safe with me." Law's whine speaks of nothing but pain and heartbreak, and Kid tightens his arms around him. "I'm not going anywhere."

Law continues crying for a long while, clutching Kid's shirt between his fingers as the Alpha holds him close and murmurs to him. Kid wants to know why Law broke down, but he knows better than to ask; there isn't always a rational answer when it comes to feelings, and he doesn't want to pry. It's none of his business, and he respects Law's privacy. They're silent, and Kid wonders whether Law has fallen asleep. He feels he might drop off, himself; the duvet is tangled around them after his rush to embrace the Omega and Law's slight, warm body fits perfectly against his. His eyelids are growing heavy when Law suddenly drapes his leg over his hip, arm wrapping around his waist, and his eyes snap open. They've been together for almost six months now, and this is the closest they've ever come to engaging in a sexual activity; Law has never mentioned it and Kid hasn't dared bring it up.

"Law?" he asks as he places a hand on the smaller teen's thigh.

Law lays his head on his chest but doesn't answer, and Kid takes it as confirmation that he's allowed to touch. He's wanted to do this for a really long time and slowly runs his hand up and down his boyfriend's thigh, savouring the moment because he's allowed to do this and it's amazing. Law exhales shakily and Kid wants to ask if he should stop, but he has a feeling Law won't take it well and decides against it. When his hand is cradling Law's hip he needs to say something, because he's getting hard and he needs to give Law a chance to back out, to set boundaries.

"I'll stop the moment you tell me to," he murmurs as he hesitantly moves his hand to cup the Omega's ass.

Law's breath hitches, and Kid wonders whether that is a good or a bad thing until the smaller teen lifts his head and pulls him into a kiss. Kid can't help but groan as he pulls Law closer against him, not noticing the shimmer of tears in the Omega's eyes.
