Sun rose up high in the air, letting all the air traveled through the window waking the young surgeon. Law stood up, stretched his arm forward. He gently patted his back muttering how he hate sleeping on the ground. He look at the bed saw the red hair shimmered under the radiant of sun and the even movement of the chest telling him that Kid was still sleeping. He walked toward Kid was going to yell at the kid but he stopped. Kid was different from last night. He was bigger and taller. Law observed the red head on his bed a little longer, he found out that Kid did get taller, and bigger and much mature but he wasn't actually the Eustass Kid that entered the Academy. Law rubbed his chin for a while:
"So this is what Jewelry-ya mean when she said 3 days"
Law's lips curved up into a smirk as he studied Kid more. But then he realized, Even though Kid was at his about 14 or 15 now. He was still taller than Law. Law need to get Kid some clothes. While Kid was sleeping, Law walked out of the room, headed straight outside the academy to get some new clothes. He was also nice enough to get some for Killer, Heat and Wire as well.
Killer groaned as he shifted himself and woke up. He suddenly remembered about everything that happened at last night and quickly turn around. Much to his anticipated, Penguin was already left. Killer let out a quite disappointed sigh, he raised his hand and scratched his head and suddenly stopped. He had gotten a bit bigger. He quickly rushed into the bathroom and look at himself in the mirror. He definitely gotten older, he could see that he was almost as tall as his present self. His skin had gotten darker, he pushed his bang up and see that the scar across his face they were a lot more visible. Killer touched the scar, he sighed:
"Even if as a kid, the scar would go away isn't it?"
There a small silence until, Killer looked down and saw all of the clothes had shrunk or rather he had outgrown them. He was thinking of opening Penguin's wardrobe and borrowed some clothes when he heard the door opened. Killer quickly pushed his bang down and walked out of the bathroom. It was Penguin. Penguin walked in and as soon as the teen eyes met Killer, a laugh broke out. Seeing Killer in a small shirt that only cover half of his chest and revealed Killer's soon to be abs and a pant that now a short was too much for Penguin to keep his cool. Killer looked at Penguin with anger:
"Stop laughing already"
Penguin wiped away a small drop of tear at the corner of his eyes, muttered a sorry at the slightly blushing blond. Killer swear, he would remember this day and he would get himself revenge. The blond advert his eyes down to Penguin's hand and saw on the Heart's member was clothes. Killer was surprised, did Penguin wake up early to get him new clothes? As if Penguin was a psychic he smiled and gave the clothes to Killer:
"Our captain bought new clothes for you, all of you"
"Thanks"
Killer nodded and took the clothes and quickly get to the bathroom and change his clothes. When he walked out , Penguin was at the door again, he opened it:
"I'm gonna head down the canteen and get you some breakfast okay?"
The blond just nodded as he looked at the door slowly closing. He thought about last night. About Penguin's fair skin, his pure white hair and imagined Penguin as a very beautiful person. When he his imagination stopped there, a question appeared:
"Why would a beautiful person like him hide his own face?"
Maybe he had a scar like how Killer had? It couldn't be a big scar though. Since his mouth was visible and Killer can't see any trace of the scar. The more Killer thought the more he was curious and the more he wanted to find out. But as a person who also hid his face, Killer respected Penguin's decision despite his crave to see the other teen face. His curiosity was burning him from the inside, making Killer messing up all of his now long blond hair in frustration.
Kid woke up, after a good long sleep. A grin never left his face. He bet that Law slept on the ground last night and he was proud of it. "Take it Trafalgar" He laughed. After a while, Kid suddenly felt the shirt was a bit tight for him. Did he turn back? He looked at his hand, no he wasn't. His hand was bigger yet still small. He felt like he was in his 14 or 15. But he was quite proud. 15 years old yet he was quite bigger that the surgeon that he was staying with for now. The red head look around and saw the a pile of new clothes, a plate of food and a note. He picked up the note:
"Eustass-ya,
If you are able to read, then thank god otherwise this message is pointless.
If you have woken up, then this the new clothes. Please change into it, and strip all the sheets, throw them in the bin for me please. I would prefer my bed without your stinky teenager smell. If you don't then you can find a new place to sleep tonight.
Oh I brought breakfast, please have some table manner. You should have seen yourself eating, it like you are retarded. If you did any destructive to my room and be expected to wake up on a surgeon bed ready to be dissected and I meant it.
Trafalgar Law"
Kid crushed the paper with his fist. Stinky teenager smell? Wasn't Law also a teenager? But Kid still obeyed what was on the paper, except for the breakfast part. He found table manner is completely unnecessary when he was being himself. After he finished eating. He looked around the room. Kid decided to explore Law's room. Law said nothing destructive but he never said anything about a little exploration. Who know, maybe he would able to find out about Law dark secret.
Kid searched the whole room; there might be something here that worth blackmailed. He opened every single book, flicked through all the pages, all about human bodies system. "Boring" he thought. His hand stopped at the leather covered book at the top left hand of the shelf. The book wasn't anything like all the other books, they were handmade, clumsy handmade, Kid might add. Kid pulled out the book, he opened it, it was a journal. In the journal, everything was in some sort of language that Kid couldn't understand. The only thing that Kid could understand was the pictures. They were just like the pictures of human's organ and structure of them. The only thing that made them different was everything from the words to the picture was all hand written and drawn. Then there was a picture of Law and Chopper reading those boring medical books. Law definitely had a spot of admiration toward the half reindeer.
He flicked through the pages with a boring manner, suddenly a picture dropped out of the journal. Kid picked the picture up, and looked at it. In the picture, was a boy? A boy with raven hair, wearing a white lab coat with a pant and no shirt underneath. The significant dark circle under the boy's eyes immediately told the red head, that the boy there was definitely Trafalgar Law.
What made Kid surprised were the bruises on the boy's body. He looked like he was badly beaten. In the picture there were old bruises and new ones. Kid looked at the journal again, some of the pages the letters were shaky, though Kid didn't understand anything on the journal. He understood the emotions in those letters.
Rage
Anger
Pain…
Kid was surprised. He didn't think Law actually had such dark past since the surgeon always had that incredible annoying smirk on his face all the time. The young surgeon also seemed to be so carefree that sometime it pissed Kid off. Kid suddenly felt guilty for always called the tanned teen a rich spoil kid before. Then again, why did Kid feel guilty? Kid remembered perfectly that he had discarded this terribly troublesome feeling 2 years ago, why were they still here?
Kid realized he was only 15 years old. It normal for this feeling was still there, lingering in the redhead chest. Kid felt sorry for the young surgeon. When he was young, though people was afraid of him, but as long as they didn't have any metal with them when they were with Kid, they treated Kid like a normal kid with a little bit of caution. His mother never beat them, no one ever dare to hurt him. Yet the raven head look so beat up in this photo. Kid realized there weren't any tattoo on Law's body. Kid had to admit he definitely like the Law now better.
It somehow, made him feel so uncomfortable. He found himself hating to see Law getting hurt. What on earth was wrong with him? He wondered last night when Law slept on the ground was it cold? Did Law ever remembered about what happened to him when was young? Was those memories are nightmare to Law? The red head could felt the burden of guilt was crushing him down. He looked at the table where he just ate his breakfast and walked straight to it. He cleaned up everything. He looked back at the small robot on the ground that he had fixed. He looked around a little bit more and a smirk had grown on his face.
Law returned, after a boring lesson. He wondered if Kid wanted to go outside. It's after noon now, so it was quite easy to sneak the boy out. He turned the door knob and walked in. He saw Kid was lying on the ground, sleeping. Law looked at Kid unbelievably, there was a bed there, why did the boy went all the way sleeping on the ground for.
"Some time you do surprised me in wondering, if you are really stupid or not Eusstass-ya"
Law sighed and made his way to his study desk. He sat down on the chair, once he had his eyes fixed on the table he found the robot Eusstass had fixed standing on the table proudly. He looked again there was a note on the robot. Kid was capable of writing? Law was surprised. He looked around, breakfast was eaten, new bed sheet. Kid was also capable of reading as well. That was a good thing. Law thought before he started reading the note that the red head left for him.
"Oi, you bastard.
Yea, I changed the sheet. Eat nicely.
Oh and, you can have the bed back. It's so small, that it became uncomfortable.
Anyway, take good care of the robot, I don't want it back
Eusstass Kid"
Law swashed the piece of paper with rage. The bed was small? Said the kid who had to stretch out his whole body in order to cover most of the bed. He never felt the urge to kid the red head so bad like this before in his whole life. He looked back at the robot. There was something different about the robot. He touched the slightly yellow button on the robot head which was never there before. At the chest of the robot bright red letter appeared and the robot started walking back and forth:
"YO, THIS IS CAPTAIN EUSSTASS KID, IT IS NOW 5PM"
Law laughed. Kid was oddly cute. He was even more surprised. He thought the redhead IQ was merely 50, but able to reconstruct the robot into a walking clock like this was beyond what he had thought about Kid. Kid was almost like an inventor. He should hang out with Franky more. Law stopped his thought, wonder why the redhead didn't do anything like this when he was a lot older. Did something happen? Because this was such a waste of talent.
Law picked up the robot, held it tightly to his chest, and walked to Kid. He sat down next to Kid and gently ruffled the boy soft hair:
"Thank you. Too bad you are not an inventor, if you are it would be amazing"
Law missed the small smile of Kid face as he stood up. He was planning to go to the infirmary to meet up with Chopper and learn more about medicine when a hand grabbed his wrist and pulled him down to the ground. The young surgeon felt himself being pulled down to the cold hard ground into a tight embrace. Law struggled tried to break free but it seem like it didn't seem to work even if Kid was 4 years younger than him. The older teen gritted his teeth:
"Eusstass-ya let go of me"
But there was no respond. Law was going to yelled at the redhead to wake the boy up but he was stopped at the sleeping face of the younger teen. It was so peaceful like a cute sleeping dog. Law sighed and gave in. He reminded himself that there won't be a next time before Slumber also taken him.
