Really short one today... I'm not really in the mood.

Will try to upload the epilogue tomorrow, maybe Saturday.

Enjoy!

Waiting for Law to show up that day was like torture. Kid knew that his boyfriend would show up late, but he was getting antsy and wanted to do something. Starting homework was no option, though, as he had agreed to do them together with Law.

There had been three outbursts of I-want-to-get-out-of-here from Whitebeard, but apart from that, there hadn't happened anything! The redhead groaned and sunk deeper into the cushions. He was bored!

Just when he was about to complain out loud, the door opened and Law came in. His nose and hears were a deep red and he rubbed his hands together to warm up his freezing fingers. Marco, Smoker and Whitebeard had turned their heads simultaneously and now looked at Law expectantly. The dark haired male grinned and pulled a paper bag from his rucksack. Shaki had apparently made it her goal to supply them all with something eatable while they were stuck in the hospital.

The next thing Law pulled from his bag was another pile of paper. More homework, obviously. He dropped it on Kid's lap and gave his boyfriend a quick kiss on the cheek. "How was school?" "Helmeppo had another outburst of creativity but nothing to write home about." Kid nodded. Law was in a good mood, so he assumed that their classmates were less ignorant than he had feared.

"Let's go to the cafeteria and get something to drink. There should be a free table where we can get started on this stuff." Kid grumbled his agreement, though he didn't really feel like leaving the hospital bed. Sure, he would leave it once he could actually go home but despite his boredom he was still lazy as hell. Law gave him a playful punch in the stomach and the redhead moved.

"Feels like that time when we were doing homework in Starbuck…" He murmured after they had finished the first subject. Law smiled lightly. "Feels like a long time ago." Kid nodded. It was one hell of an eternity ago. So much had happened since then. He bent over and pulled Law into a kiss.

"I love you…" The murmured words made Law smile. "Love you too." Kid closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against Law's. Whenever he did this, he felt like time stopped and nothing else mattered anymore. But his beloved boyfriend had other plans. "We need to finish a few more things before time's up. You know they'll kick me out soon."

Sighing Kid looked at the remaining homework. "Does this have to be now?" Law nodded. "Few of those things need to go back to the teachers tomorrow. Sorry…" The dark haired male gave him a small smile. Kid just shrugged.

"Marco has mentioned he would like to throw a party once we're all out of the hospital again." "Mmm…." "But it might take a while as they want to keep Whitebeard hear for at least another week." "Mhm.." "Are you even listening to me?" Kid was getting a little annoyed. These stupid math equations couldn't possibly be more interesting than what he had to say! "Mmm…" Law said.

Kid snarled but even that didn't bring Law to lift his head. The redhead quickly looked through the room. The time for visits was almost over and the cafeteria was empty. Kid smirked and let moved his right arm under the table to reach Law's tight. He placed his hand on the dark haired man's tight and was rewarded with a surprised noise and an angry glare.

"You shouldn't ignore me." Kid purred and traced Law's leg upwards. Watching his boyfriend turn slightly pink, he leaned over and whispered. "Ignoring me can lead to very compromising situations." Law laughed. "There is nothing compromising about being touched by my boyfriend. However…" he said: "There is something very inappropriate about how you touch me. " And with that he lifted Kid's hand from his tight and intertwined their fingers. "You do realize that I cannot write like this?" Law chuckled. "It's not like you've been doing a lot before." Kid had to agree, but he would never admit that out loud.

A nurse approached them soon after and kicked Law out. Kid gave him a long and passionate good-bye kiss that left them both a little flustered and the nurse that had stood by ended up being more than just a little embarrassed.

So the idiot at Law's school was Helmeppo. I still don't like the guy, even after he teamed up with Corby.

One more to go and then it's over...

Read & Review please - Thanks!
