Chapter 22

It was late in the afternoon when Kid stepped into his dorm room. Killer was sitting on his bed, reading a book. When Kid entered, he looked up and asked, "Where the hell have you been?"

Kid wasn't about to tell him he had been at Law's place, where they had had sex, so instead he just grunted, "Out."

Killer gave him a deadpanned look, though his bangs were in the way. "Well, anyway, next time you leave for a weekend, could you let me know in advance? I could have made plans."

"Yeah right, and give you the opportunity to have sex with Penguin here? I don't think so," Kid snapped. They both froze simultaneously, Kid because he couldn't believe he just said that and Killer because he probably wondered how the hell Kid knew about that. He wouldn't have if Law hadn't said anything.

Killer stared at him – or at least had his head turned in Kid's direction and Kid imagined him narrowing his eyes. "How would you know?"

Kid wasn't sure what exactly Killer was asking, whether he knew that they had had sex the weekend before, or how Kid would know if they would have sex in his room, so he decided to be evasive. "You've been dating for a while, so…" It wasn't going to cut it, Kid was sure, since Killer knew him too well. They never really talked about sex and definitely not whether or not one of them was having it.

Killer kept staring at him, but he did change the subject. "So where did you say you were?" The tone of his voice betrayed that he was ticked off, but despite knowing Killer could kick his ass if he chose to do so, Kid wasn't about to tell him.

"I told you. Out."

"You're never secretive. Let's see. I know you weren't at your parents, because you'd be seething with anger right now. Besides, you wouldn't be secretive about that." Killer tapped his finger against his face as if he were thinking deeply.

Kid broke out in a cold sweat. He had hoped Killer would just leave it be, but if he was going to guess, it was only a matter of time before he would reach the right conclusion. Still, he managed to keep a disinterested look on his face.

"You weren't with Bonney either. I just saw her and she didn't know where you were. You'd not be secretive about that either though. No, it has to be something you're embarrassed about."

"I'm not embarrassed," Kid snapped. It was the truth. Despite the fact that he had been proven wrong in his opinion about gay people, he had accepted that and moved on. Killer would only be happy about that, probably. Kid wasn't embarrassed about being with Law either. If anything, Law was incredibly hot. But Kid just wasn't ready to tell the world, not before he figured this thing out for himself.

He was sure he was attracted to Law, but he wasn't certain yet if their current arrangement was something he wanted. The sex up till now had been great, even if Kid still felt a slight sting in his ass from Law's fingers that morning, and Kid would gladly take the opportunity Law offered to learn a thing or two, but other than that, he was pretty sure he wanted more than just sex. So if Law didn't change his mind, Kid would look elsewhere. He certainly hoped Law would reconsider, because Kid had never been as attracted to someone as he was to him. No, worse, liked anyone. If not Law, Kid wasn't sure when it would happen again.

"I'll tell you when I'm ready," he muttered.

An unsettling grin crept up Killer's face, as if that statement said more than Kid wanted it to. "Fine. I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you're wearing someone else's pants." Sarcasm dripped from his voice.

Kid looked down. He hadn't thought about the fact that he was still wearing Law's sweatpants. Law had told him to keep them since he never wore them anyway. He hadn't even realised he had them until Kid went through his clothes to find something that would fit him. Law's jeans hadn't been an option, since those wouldn't even fit over Kid's calves – not that he was complaining, the jeans made Law's ass look amazing.

But the sweatpants weren't really Kid's usual style, for one because they were plain black. He should have realised Killer would spot the difference right away.

"I'm going for a swim," he grouched and fled the room before Killer could pry more out of him.

"Yo, Kiddo!" Bonney's voice called when Kid exited the building. He winced and considered ignoring her, but there really wasn't a way to ignore Bonney. So, he sighed and turned around.

"Where were you?" she asked when she had caught up with him. "Killer was worried about you. You didn't answer your phone."

"Maybe because I didn't want to be disturbed," he grouched and started walking back to his dorm.

She frowned, but followed him. "Why so secretive?"

"Why so nosy?"

She rolled her eyes. "Who put that stick up your butt?"

Kid froze as panic set in. He knew she couldn't know, but… Was he limping? He didn't think he was, and the pain had faded for the most part, but what if she saw somehow?

She stopped as well, her eyes wide as she appeared to realise what his odd reaction meant. "Wait, someone did put something up your butt, didn't they?" She smacked him against his arm. "You got laid this weekend!"

"Will you shut up?!" Kid covered her mouth with his hand and pushed her towards a quieter area, but he winced when she licked his hand. Pulling back, he wiped it on his pants with a grossed out face.

"Why?" she asked. "Don't you think I'd be happy for you? Unless…" She frowned. "Unless it wasn't consensual?"

"What? No, it was," he hastily said.

"So it did happen," she said triumphantly, and suddenly, he felt like he had walked into a trap. "So, why not tell me?" she pressed.

He scratched the back of his head and sat down on a bench, wincing slightly. "I'm just not sure what it is we have. Or how I feel."

"But you do like this person?" She took a seat next to him. "Man?"

Kid shrugged. "I just don't think we want the same thing."

"You want sex and he wants a relationship? Or the other way around?"

"That last one. Maybe." He rubbed his face with both hands. "I just don't know, so I don't want others to know, you know?"

"I get it. Sexuality can be confusing." She placed an arm around his shoulders. "Look, just have fun with this guy for a while, okay? Don't overthink it. If it feels good, just do it. And once you figure out what it is you want, talk with him about it. Communication is the most important thing. But, you also gotta be honest with yourself. If you're falling for him and he's not interested in you that way, you have to pull out." She paused. "I meant that figuratively."

He sighed, leaning with his elbows on his knees. "Just… don't tell Killer, okay?"

"That's not my place." There was another silence, before she asked, "Just so we're on the same page, you were with Law, right?"

Kid just grunted. She already knew too much anyway.

The next weekend, Kid found himself alone in his room. Killer, who hadn't bothered him anymore about his whereabouts the previous week, was with Penguin at the moment, and Kid didn't expect him back soon.

The plan had been to go to Law again and try out more stuff, but one of Kid's teachers had reminded him he had a test on Monday, so he had to study. He had texted Law that he couldn't make it and had expected that to be the end of that.

Yet, currently Law's name was flashing on the screen of his phone, and Kid was debating on whether or not to answer. On the one hand, he wanted to, because he wanted to hear Law's voice. On the other, he had no idea what Law wanted. Maybe he had decided to come to Kid, even though they had agreed not to do that because Killer was Kid's roommate.

Realising that studying wasn't going to work until he knew what it was about, Kid picked up. "I told you I had to study," he said as greeting.

Law chuckled, sending shivers up Kid's spine. He had never noticed Law had a nice, deep voice. A voice that did weird things to him.

"I know, you were very clear on that aspect," Law said, and Kid shuddered again. "But I was bored, and you really should take a break from studying every now and then. I know a great way to relax."

"So I just should come over then because you can't keep it in your pants?" Kid grunted.

"It's not my pants you should be concerned about."

Kid froze, wondering what Law was implying. It didn't sound like he was done.

"And I need you to stay put for this to work," Law continued, before adding, "That is, if you are currently alone in your room. Public indecency is frowned upon."

Kid licked his lips, suddenly feeling nervous. What did Law have in mind? A certain body part definitely wanted to find out. "I'm alone," he said slightly breathless.

"Good. Put me on speakerphone, because you're going to need your hands."

Kid did as he was told, his hands slightly shaking when he placed the device on a safe place on the bed.

"Are you ready?"

Kid nodded, until he realised that Law couldn't see him. "Yes," he croaked.

"Good. I know you don't usually do well with orders, but I'm going to need you to comply for this to work. Alright?"

Kid resisted the urge to nod again. "Yes."

"Lie down."

Kid did as he was told.

"On your back. Tell me what you're wearing, Mr Eustass," Law continued.

"What I'm usually wearing?" Kid replied, surprised, his non-existent eyebrow raised. "The pants you find ugly."

He heard a sigh on the other end of the line. "I'm trying to be sexy here. The least you can do is play along."

"Yeah, what the hell did you think I was wearing? That I was waiting in my frilly negligee, waiting for you to call?" Kid asked with a snort.

Now Law also broke character and started to laugh. "That would be a sight to behold. Does that mean you own such a thing?"

Kid realised that this was the first time that he made Law laugh because of a joke he made, rather than that Law laughed at him. He kind of liked it.

"You wish."

"Perhaps. Darn it, Mr Eustass, now I'm out of it. You suck at phone sex, you know that?" Law sighed, but he was clearly amused.

"Maybe because I don't have a better partner."

Law hummed. "Perhaps. Shall we try again?"

"Fine, as long as you don't ask what I'm wearing again."

"How about you just undress right away? Then I'll know what you're wearing," Law suggested innocently.

"Hold on a sec." Kid rose from the bed and locked the door of his room from the inside.

"For what?" Law asked, as he obviously couldn't see what Kid did.

"Locking the door. I don't want Killer waltzing in while I'm whipping out my dick," Kid replied.

Law started laughing again. "My, I love it when you talk dirty."

Of course, Killer had a key as well, but at least Kid would hear the key in the lock as a warning before Killer came in, giving him the time to flee to the bathroom. Kid grinned, and once again it hit him that he was having fun with Law. They were joking around, and Kid was actually feeling comfortable. Law sounded like he was feeling the same thing.

Yet, Kid realised that he had been right with his assessment that he liked Law. Law had said it had to be strictly sex, but could he do that? Remembering Bonney's words to have fun, he started taking off his clothes.

"Have you whipped out your dick yet, Mr Eustass?" Law's voice sounded amused on the other end of the line. "I cannot see you, remember?"

"Yeah, I'm naked. What about you?"

"Are you asking what I'm wearing?" Law teased.

"I thought you were trying to be sexy," he retorted.

"Alight, alright. Lie down on your back like you did before."

Kid did as he was told, this time lying down on the bed naked.

"Good." Law's voice had turned deep and husky again, bringing Kid right back in the mood. "Close your eyes."

His voice washed over Kid like silk, and he had trouble stopping himself from taking matters into his own hand – quite literally. Law ran the show this time, though Kid made a mental note to turn the tables the next time they were in the same room. There were some things he wanted to try out, and he didn't doubt Law would be up for it as well.

For now, though, he was content to obey. As he listened to Law, he only then noticed that there was music playing in the background. Not loud enough to disturb, just to set the mood.

"Are you comfortable?" When Kid hummed in reply, Law continued breathily, "I was rather disappointed when you cancelled. I had so many plans with you… Do you ever think about what you'd like to do to me?"

Kid's breath hitched. He had not expected that question, rather Law continuing to boss him around. The answer was yes, of course, he had had lots of fantasies about Law.

"Mr Eustass?"

Somehow, Law managed to let his name even sound like it was sin itself. Maybe Kid was hornier than he had anticipated.

"Tell me about your fantasies."

"I wanna…" Kid swallowed and licked his lips. It seemed like it had gotten hotter in the room all of the sudden, and he didn't know if it was the excitement or the embarrassment.

"No need to be shy. Tell me," Law encouraged him. He was panting slightly, and it didn't cost Kid any trouble to imagine him naked on his bed, his legs spread in waiting.

"I want to fuck you," Kid finally managed. His hands entangled with the sheets as he envisioned himself buried ball deep in Law's hot body. His cock twitched at the thought.

Law hummed, the vibrations sending shivers down Kid's spine. "Go on."

"I wanna…" Kid licked his lips again, combing his hair back and pulling it slightly. Law would pull his hair too as Kid grabbed his hips and slammed into him. Or perhaps instead of on the bed, he could bend Law over his desk and take him there. Kid groaned at the thought.

Law chuckled deeply. "Sounds like you're having fun. If only I could see you now."

Kid's mind continued to drift as he remembered how it had felt when Law had his fingers inside of him. What would it be like if the roles were reversed, if he was the one steadying himself on the desk with Law behind him? His breath quickened.

"You have to talk for this to work, Mr Eustass," Law said, though his voice broke a bit. It seemed that he was losing it as much as Kid was. "Though you have no idea how hot you sound right now. Are you touching yourself?"

"N-no," he managed, panting.

"Do it."

Kid didn't need more encouragement. He turned so he was sitting on his knees, leaning on one elbow as he started jerking himself off. The fact that Law was listening to him on the other end of the line, probably doing the same, only encouraged him.

"Fuck, Eustass," Law groaned.

Kid hardly registered the words, only the vibrations of his voice. It pushed him over the edge, and with a deep growl, he came.

Panting, he rolled onto his back as he slowly came down from his high. The first thing he heard was Law chuckling.

"You're not going to fall asleep again on me, are you, Mr Eustass?" he asked. "I let that slide once, but I won't do it again."

"Why, do you want to cuddle after?" he replied, his voice hoarse.

"It's just rude, Mr Eustass."

He hummed, sitting up on the bed and rubbing his face. "I don't have time to sleep anyway. I should take a shower and get back to studyin'." He paused before muttering, "Thanks."

"It was my pleasure," Law replied, making it obvious it was an innuendo.

Kid snorted, just at the moment when the doorknob turned. When the person on the other side realised it was locked, Kid heard the sound of keys tingling together. Pressing the end call button and hastily grabbing his clothes and dirtied sheets together, Kid dove into the bathroom, just in time before Killer entered the room.
