Five accidentals and nine purposeful injuries.
Kidd found out that trying to make a purposeful injury and make it look like it was done on accident was hard. He brought his close friend who knew a few things about knives to cut in a way to look like 'he slipped and fell on a knife' kind of wound. Kidd felt embarrassed when he had told his ally to cut him, and his friend made a strange, worried look.
He swore that he was not trying to become a masochist.
-.-.-
Law tugged tightly on the bandage, earning a painful grunt from Kidd. The engineer noticed there was a hard expression written all over the doctor's face. This wasn't the face Kidd was used to seeing. He should have stuck it with the 'cutting his arm with pincers' instead of 'accidentally' burning himself with the wielding iron. Kidd grunted again because Law pulled harder, coiling the taut bandage tighter around his upper arm.
When the doctor cut the wrapped bandage and made a tiny bow, he quietly sighed.
"Hey, enough of this."
"Huh?"
Law pointed to the arm, "This. I know you're purposely hurting yourself. I'm not an idiot."
Kidd's mouth parted slightly to say something, but nothing came out. So he bent his head down and mumbled a tiny sorry.
"Well, if you have this kind of kink, then I won't stop you-"
"I am not a masochist!" Kidd yelled. He was surprised at the loudness of his voice, and Law looked equally surprised.
The doctor turned away for a second to stash away the bandages. When he turned back to face the engineer, the dark bags under the man's eyes looked darker and heavier. "You know, you can just come anytime. It's not like you have to hurt yourself to come here."
Kidd's eyes widened at Law's generous comment. A smile formed on the engineer's face.
"I-I can come anytime?"
"Didn't I just say that?" Law snapped tersely.
"You sure?" Kidd brushed his hand across the bandage and he quickly regretted it. Even though Law cleaned and tended the wound, it still burned.
Law frowned, "Your brain is as small as a rooster."
Kidd's heart was fuzzy. Law never showed this kind of kindness to anyone before. He had a strange way of showing it though.
Still, Kidd felt special.
