Law found it ominous that he could find neither Kidd nor Penguin despite the fact that he knew that he had seen the two men fighting with one another along the coast of the island. The fact that the beach was deserted with no sign of anyone other than the lingering marines, Law knew that it could mean only one thing, and he did not want to think about it or believe it. That both Kidd and Penguin could have been brought down so easily. The Heart Pirate captain gripped the railing of the Thousand Sunny as his eyes roved up and down the beach fruitlessly. Law knew that with every passing moment, the chances of finding what he was looking for dwindled. And that lack of finding what he was looking for likely meant only one thing.

Doflamingo could have come to that island and gotten to Kidd or Penguin. Doflamingo had to have been there one the beach. There was no other explanation of the other two pirate's sudden absences.

Law's grip slackened on the railing as he took a breath and let it out slowly, as the dark haired captain knew that this meant that he would have to go to Fang Island after all. Something he wished to avoid, as Doflamingo was going to be there too. Law felt trapped again, because he didn't want to go to the island as Doflamingo had mentioned, even if that meant that Law was able to find and locate Kid and Penguin. If they weren't on that beach, then Fang Island was sure to be where they had gotten to, despite the Heart Pirate captain not having confirmed the fact one way or another. It was Law's hope that the two had managed to slip away should they have come across Doflamingo.

Law felt that, should he actually come across his crewmate and Kidd in the near future, and perhaps find them still fighting on the beach somewhere, that he wouldn't go to Fang Island. But Law felt there might be no way around it, even with the allies he had, as well as his own crew and perhaps Kid's, but even with a lot of firepower, it wouldn't stop or deter someone like Doflamingo from pursing him should the dark haired pirate not show up as expected. Law's troubling thoughts were interrupted when a Transponder Snail went off in a pocket, and Law answered it, hoping that it might be Penguin.

It wasn't.

'Hello, Law.'

It was Doflamingo.

"It hasn't been three days yet." Law said in a dead kind of way. He didn't have anything else to say to the other man at present.

'Fufufu. Oh, Law, you know you shouldn't try and be so ignorant. We both know for a fact that you would never have shown up as I asked if you'd found your crewmate and that other supernova brat. So, as such, I decided to take steps to ensure that you come to Fang Island.'

Law's stomach dropped, and he began to feel a little ill. No…Doflamingo didn't mean…did he?

'I have your crewmate and Eustass Kidd with me.' Doflamingo's voice seemed to be directed elsewhere as he added, snidely, 'Why don't you let him know that I mean what I say?'

Law bit the inside of his cheek as voices joined Doflamingo's over the snail.

'Fuck off…you asshole.' Kidd's dazed sounding voice was cut off with what sounded like a rough motion from Doflamingo. Kick or punch, it didn't seem to matter when it came to Doflamingo, as either would be painful.

'I doubt this one will last very long with his attitude.' Doflamingo commented listlessly, before he addressed someone else was in the room with him. 'Do you have anything to say to your captain? I don't know how much longer I'll allow you to keep breathing after you tried to kill me with that pistol.'

Law's breath hitched in surprise; what the hell had possessed Penguin to make such a suicidal decision?

'I'll give you some time alone. I think it would be best to have this other fool restrained before he thinks about trying to hit me with scrap metal again.'

The sound of a door being closed wasn't very reassuring, but Law swallowed hard as he tried not to think of his cremate being in Doflamingo's clutches again, and spoke. "Penguin?"

'Here.' Penguin's voice was faint. He was clearly in pain. 'I'm sorry. I'm usually…in better control of myself.'

"Being reminded of your past likely didn't help things very much." Law commented.

'No, it didn't.' Penguin let out a shuddering breath. 'Didn't mean I should have shot Doflamingo.'

"You actually struck him?" Law asked, surprised. Even he had had difficultly barely putting a small cut on Doflamingo.

'I did, but I missed.' Penguin sounded disappointed that he had not made a fatal shot.

"You're on Fang Island, aren't you?" Law closed his eyes briefly.

'We are.' Penguin gave a weary sigh. 'Don't come here, Law. Don't give Doflamingo what he wants.'

"I am not leaving either of you there." Law said firmly.

'You haven't seen the way that Doflamingo has been looking at me.' Penguin informed Law grimly. 'Or at Kidd. At this point, he will likely be in better shape than myself.'

"Doflamingo knows that I will not show up if you are dead." Law said faintly. This was not going at all as planned.

'Law. He is going to incapacitate me.' Penguin's voice had become flat. 'Even if you do come, I might be on the verge of-'

"Stop." Law grit out, not wanting to hear it. "You won't be."

'You know what kind of a man Doflamingo is, Law.' Penguin fell silent and then, in a low whisper, added, 'He is coming back.'

"Penguin." Law didn't want to think about how badly Doflamingo was going to hurt Penguin.

'Promise me Law. Promise me…you won't go back to his crew. Not even to save me.' Penguin said desperately.

"I can't do that." Law wouldn't. He couldn't. Penguin had already gotten in between himself and Doflamingo once, and then again, when the whole crew had tried to come help, and they had ended up injured by their own captain instead. Law didn't think that Penguin would survive another encounter with Doflamingo.

'Promise me.' Penguin demanded sharply, the desperation still there. 'I can't stand the thought that I would be what forced you to give Doflamingo what he wants.'

A door opened.

'Law…'

Law let out a hash exhale, conflicted, before he answered Penguin in a barely there whisper. "Then promise me you won't die." Law didn't want anyone else to die because of him. Not again.

'Can't, captain.' Penguin said, before he was cut off by what sounded like Doflamingo kicking him, from the pained yelp that emitted from the Heart Pirate.

'Did you have a good chat?' Doflamingo asked disinterestedly.

"Leave Penguin alone." Law all but snarled. He was tired of his crewmate being harmed by this man and being unable to stop it.

'I will leave him alive for you to see him when you come to Fang Island.' Doflamingo overrode the beginning of a protest. 'He should be dead after what he's done. Interfering all of those times, and then not having the courtesy to die from his wounds.' The snail reflected Doflamingo' grin, 'There is an old mansion at the center of Fang Island. Be there tomorrow evening.'

"And what of Eustass-ya?" Law didn't dare mention his crewmate again, despite the continued pained whimpers in the background. Law had an uneasy feeling that Doflamingo was using Penguin as half a foot rest, and it angered Law that he couldn't do anything about it.

'He will be further insurance that you do as I ask.' Doflamingo returned smoothly. 'Your crewmate is to ensure that you come to the island. The red haired fool is to make sure that you don't put up a fight and remain on the island. He can leave, so long as you surrender quietly. If not-' The implied threat hung in the following silence.

Law had the sensation of being trapped with nowhere to go. He didn't doubt that Doflamingo would make good his threats, and had a feeling that Kidd might not be in the best of shape when Law arrived, and that the red haired captain might not even be able to leave on his own. And Penguin…Law didn't even want to think about the shape his crewmate was going to be in. It hurt Law to even contemplate it.

'Law?'

Law took a steadying breath, and when the Heart Pirate captain spoke again, his voice was emotionless. "I'll be at the mansion on Fang Island tomorrow evening."

'Alone?'

Law hung his head just a little. "Alone."

'Then you have nothing to worry about.' Doflamingo hung up.

Law grit his teeth as his hand gripped the railing before him tightly once more. He had plenty to worry about, and one of those worries was getting Luffy to not make a ruckus too prematurely. It also meant that Law would have to go to Kidd's ship and convince Killer to get him Fang Island so Law could retrieve Kidd, as well as Penguin, despite Doflamingo's ominous promises about Penguin's state of continued living. Law let go of the railing to let his arm hang at his side; he didn't bother retrieving the snail, and instead shouldered his nodachi. Doflamingo had said nothing about coming unarmed. Things were going downhill, and the Heart Pirate captain hated to think that the conversation he'd just had with Penguin might be the last one he ever had with his crewmate.

Law's disappearance from the Thousand Sunny upset Luffy, and in no time at all, the whole crew decided to go after Law, due to Luffy's insistence that they do so. They were in an alliance, after all. Law's crew would go as well, as there was no question that they were loyal to their captain, despite Law's insistence that they stay away and not get involved.

Sanji attempted to mention something in passing to Luffy, but ended up sharing his concerns with Robin and Nami instead. "Something seems to be going on, more than we know." He offered Nami a tray with drinks on it, and the orange haired navigator took one, quiet as she sipped it, before speaking.

"Doflamingo?"

"He's the only one who seems to hold any sway over Law; Doflamingo's already seemed to have manipulated Law once by harming one of his cremates and blackmailing him." Sanji moved around Nami to offer the tray to Robin with a smile, and the black haired woman took a drink as well with a brief smile of her own before she spoke to the cook's comment.

"It seems likely then that Law's disappearance from this ship an hour ago without a word to us or his crew is Doflamingo's doing as well."

Luffy was close enough to tune into the conversation, and spoke simply.

"Then we just need to go kick Doflamingo's ass. That'll make him stop bothering Law, right?" Luffy hopped up onto the figurehead of the Sunny. "Let's go kick mingo's ass!"

A collective sigh rose from those within hearing, but no one tried to dissuade Luffy from his decision as they headed in the direction of Kidd's ship, after a quick correspondence with Killer via a Transponder Snail.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Killer had decided that Hawkins had been right about Law delaying their rendezvous. Not that the long haired pirate's stubborn captain would admit that was the case, even if Kidd's interest in Law had gotten himself into trouble lately.

-x

Kidd's day just seemed to suck ass more and more with every passing moment. First, Trafalgar fucking Law thought it would be amusing to swap everyone's bodies, and before that, he acted like a fucking idiot by being a victim of having to do what Doflamingo told him to or else. Not only that, Kidd then ended up captured, tied up and then forced into a collar and whipped, and then Law and his crewmate had had the gall to be angry at him for his actions. It wasn't a wonder at all that Kidd had so easily fallen straight into a fight with Penguin, especially when the other man had started it.

Kidd winced and grunted something upon being dropped onto the ground in present time, and thought that he was not doing very well to stay free. It kind of pissed him off, though being bound with chain, some of it sea stone, and gagged, there wasn't much he could do about it at present. Kidd felt like he'd been kicked around and beaten up to the point of unconsciousness and perhaps he had, even though he was fairly sure he'd blacked out or something briefly before.

More than anything, Kidd hated the helplessness he was currently experiencing, and if he could have, the red haired captain would have murdered Doflamingo and leveled the building that he was in. Whether or not Kidd would have helped Penguin out of the imagined flattened building was up for debate, but considering Law would likely never speak to him again or fuck and then maybe proceed to murder him for letting his cremate die…

Maybe Kidd would help.

But he couldn't.

Fucking Doflamingo had made sure he wasn't going to be moving under his own power unless he allowed it, and that made Kidd's temper flare even more, even if he couldn't do anything right now.

Doflamingo laughing suddenly made Kidd turn his head, a little bit, anyway, and heard the blond haired pirate speak.

"It's close to the appointed time."

Kidd heard a thud of flush meeting flesh, and that indicated that Doflamingo had kicked someone. Penguin most likely, since Doflamingo wasn't near him. Kidd scowled around the gag. He had unfinished business with Penguin, so Doflamingo had better not kill him off. The red haired captain went still when Doflamingo decided to come over and nudge him in the side.

"Still thinking about taking Law away?"

Kidd couldn't answer, because of the gag, and Doflamingo didn't seem to expect an answer anyway, as he walked away almost immediately. Kidd heard footsteps, and they weren't Doflamingo's. The red head strained to roll over, and did so with a wince, and saw Law standing just inside the entrance hall of the mansion, looking grim. Kidd couldn't help but let a wheeze of amusement out at the sight of Law drawing his nodachi, as if to attack, only to pause mid step at something. Kidd tried to roll onto his side from his stomach to see what was going on, only to let out a muffled curse when Doflamingo's foot came out of nowhere to rest against his back firmly. Kidd became aware of erratic hisses of breath, and since it wasn't coming from him, or Doflamingo, it had to be Penguin.

Shit.

That Doflamingo was a fucked up SOB. He had had to have picked Penguin up from wherever he'd been on the floor, and held the Heart Pirate up in order to get Law's attention. From the sound of it, Doflamingo succeeded.

"Forgetting something, Law?"

Kidd bristled at the thought of being used as bait, and his mind worked furiously at how to get out of this predicament.

-x

Law had had half formed plans to use himself as a diversion so that Kidd could make himself scare. Law doubted the other captain could help Penguin, so the Heart Pirate captain would have to do it himself. What Law hadn't expected was for Doflamingo to have the forethought to have someone shackle Kidd with cuffs and sea stone chains. That made Law draw his nodachi with the new plan to free Kidd from those chains with his powers, and let the red head fend for himself while Law distracted Doflamingo. That was the plan, until Doflamingo hoisted something up off the floor, and Law froze in place.

Penguin.

It was his crewmate, and Penguin was bloodied and battered and hanging almost lifelessly from Doflamingo's grasp. The only way Law knew Penguin was alive was from the wheezing, short breaths his crewmate took. Law's hand gripped Kikoku's hilt tightly as Doflamingo causally rested a foot against Kidd's back, carefully avoiding the sea stone.

"It's good of you to come, Law. And alone, as requested." Doflamingo allowed his foot to rest heavier against Kidd's back, drawing forth a grunt. "I do believe that we discussed Eustass Kid being here so that you wouldn't put up a fight?"

Law's blade faltered. "You will let him leave?" Law meant Kidd, but his eyes were on Penguin's almost lifeless body hanging from Doflamingo's grasp.

"Give me your blade. I think I will hold on to it until I curb you of your intent to try and kill me with it."

Law hesitated, before he sheathed his nodachi reluctantly as he cautiously approached Doflamingo. "You will let my crewmate go." It wasn't a question this time.

Doflamingo ginned without answer as he took the blade and tucked it in the back of his belt. The blond grabbed Law almost immediately by the front of Law's shirt and hoisted him up off the ground to be level with his face.

"I was going to let the red head off, if you didn't resist, but I will take you drawing your blade with intention to fight a violation of that." Doflamingo grinned. "I don't want you getting any ideas, so I've decided that Eustass Kidd will remain here on the island." The blond indicated Penguin before continuing on. "You, I and your crewmate here will leave this island, so that you won't take issue."

Law thought quickly, but saw no way out. His eyes fell on Kidd, and Law lifted his head to stare at those damn shaded glasses. "Let me treat Eustass-ya's injuries."

"It doesn't matter how long you delay, Law. We will be leaving before any of your allies arrive here." Doflamingo let go and let Law drop a few feet to the ground carelessly. "But very well. You have one hour to do so." Doflamingo stepped away from Kidd, and waved two random pirates into the hall to have them bring Kidd into a room to the left. "No longer, or I will make sure I throw this one's broken body off the ship the moment weren't on it." Doflamingo warned, indicating Penguin as Law automatically followed after the two other pirates.

Law grit his teeth again, frustrated with the way things were going, but didn't argue against Doflamingo's treatment of Penguin. An hour was all he needed to tell Kidd what he needed to. Law waited impatiently for the other pirates to remove Kidd's shackles, and it was clear that the red haired captain wasn't doing well, since he didn't try to lash out at either man as they removed the cuffs before making a hasty retreat out the door at Kidd turning over onto his back.

Law was honestly surprised that Doflamingo was fine with him closing the door, and felt it lucky that there was a bed in the room for Kidd to lay on, because he didn't seem to be too comfortable laying on his back as it as.

"Fucking bastards." Kidd muttered, before he fell silent and refused to say a damn thing despite the few times Law tried to start a conversation. When there was no forthcoming response, the Surgeon of Death saw to Kidd's wounds, even if most were superficial and the worst Kidd seemed to have suffered was a bruised pride.

"Why are you bothering with that?" Kidd muttered at last, watching Law wrap some bandages around a cleaned cut along part of his right forearm. "I thought you and your crewmate didn't like me."

"Penguin does dislike you." Law offered a bare hint of a smirk. "I, on the other hand, find you exasperating and at times...entertaining."

"Entertaining in bed?" Kidd dared to ask, and cursed when Law tugged the bandages tight.

"No, you're an animal in bed, remember?" Law went on to check Kidd's abdomen, to see if there were cracked or broken ribs. "Otherwise you are entertaining in that you don't seem to know what to do around me at time." Law narrowed his eyes at the red head. "At the moment, I'm still not happy with what you did when you were in control of Penguin's body."

"What I did?" Kidd jerked back and away from Law's touch. "Those fucking guards put a damn collar on me like the ones in Sabaody, and then they tried to get me to work, and whipped me." Kidd seemed to rethink his actions, and instead seized on to Law's nearest arm with his right to drag him onto the bed. "It may have been your crewmate's body, but it was still me inside." Kid brought Law onto his lap, so that he could better look the other pirate captain in the eye. "And no one does shit to me like that and lives to tell about it. I'm no one's slave."

Law's face was perfectly bank, as he was rather distracted by the fact that he suddenly found himself seated on Kidd's lap in a rather suggestive way.

"What? You thought I would let it slide just 'cause I wasn't in my own body?" Kidd demanded, incredulous. "You crewmate didn't before, and I wasn't about to get wounded more."

"I need to finish treating your wounds. Or would you prefer to stay here and wait for the navy to come here and find you?" Law commented as he tried to free his arm and get off of Kidd's lap before he did something he regretted.

"I'm fine." Kidd insisted. "And don't fucking change the topic."

"We can talk later." Law said.

"No, right now." Kidd growled. "Cause I fucking did what I did to not be made to work like a slave. Do you fucking get that or not?"

Law was unwilling to comment, even though he felt he understood in a way the actions Kidd had taken, even if it did nothing to help Penguin. What Law didn't expect was for Kidd to be in slightly better shape then he'd initially thought, and Law soon found himself rolled to one side, Kidd looming over him as one metal hand and one flesh hand rested on either side of the Heart Pirate's head. Law scrunched against the bed with an annoyed look in his eyes, but it didn't seem to dissuade Kidd. He seem to be waiting for Law to say something. Anything.

"You could have avoided killing people." Law said at length, even if he didn't sound like he meant it in that moment.

Kidd grinned for some reason.

"I will need to leave this room, Eustass-ya." Law pointed out. "I very much doubt Doflamingo is willing to wait for me to do anything else apart from treating your wounds."

"Too fucking bad. He'll have to wait." Kidd said simply, before he cut Law's response off with a kiss.

Law didn't know what he expected, but it was not that at all. Wasn't Kidd still taking issue with his reaction to what the red head had down while using Penguin's body?

A hand up Law's shirt and sliding along tanned skin seemed to point in the direction that while Kidd seemed to be distracted touching him, though the red haired captain appeared to have not forgotten the matter as he was being slightly rougher than the previous times they'd been in bed together.

Law let Kidd do as he would, because the dark haired pirate wasn't sure what he was doing anymore, apart from making sure Doflamingo didn't kill Penguin the moment he set foot off of Fang Island.

-x

"It's kind of boring if you don't do anything, Trafalgar." Kidd commented from overhead, as he leaned over close so that their noses were nearly touching. Kidd could tell that he was kind of irritating Law right now with the way he let his right hand. move.

"I didn't think you were going to be up for anything after taking a beating." Law offered after a brief moment of silence.

"You're pissing me off, so that helps." Kidd replied, before he bit down on the side of Law's neck.

"What does that have to do with this?" The Heart Pirate captain demanded as he tried to shove Kidd away from his neck and the teeth that were grazing the skin roughly. "Stop that."

Kidd seized Law's nearest hand and, with a grin, nipped two of Law's fingers. "What the hell are you talking about? Of course it does." The red haired captain used a knee to nudge between Law's legs. "Cause this tells me a hell of a lot more than you whining about shit. You want to do this right now, and let Doflamingo hear it." When Law smacked his chest with his other hand, Kidd seized Law's wrists with his right hand and held them down on the bed. Kidd grinned when the dark haired captain appeared to not like the motion. "I'm right, aren't I?"

"I do not want him to hear." Law hissed in return, sounding offended, even if he stopped straining to free his now trapped wrists. "Doflamingo could kill Penguin if he thought I was wasting time."

"I don't think this is a waste of time." Kidd said irritably, his right hand gripping Law's wrists tighter. "Did you before?"

"That is not relevant right now." Law said, still quiet. "And it's too dangerous to do anything right now. We could be caught."

"I don't fucking care." Kidd said simply, and cut off Law's damn weak protests with a kiss because fuck if he was going to let Law slide off just like that and go off with Doflamingo. He was going to get some kind of response out of Law, and if Kidd had to get it right now, despite Doflamingo on the other side of the door, he would.

Besides, maybe Kidd's crew or Law's or even Straw Hat's crew would find them. After all, Kidd made damn sure, before the body swap ever happened, that he had had a vivre card for his crew to follow. So if he could get laid and get an answer out of Law and have several crews come here to Fang Island to make Doflamingo's life complicated, the red haired captain was going to for it. Kidd let go of Law's wrists in order to tangle the hand in Law's hair to prevent the other man from breaking away from the kiss.

Law's hands instantly gripped the shirt Kidd had on as he groaned something into the kiss.

Kidd reluctantly broke it off to see what the damn problem was, and nearly laughed when Law, after hesitating a moment, sighed, shook his head and then dragged Kidd back into the kiss with a low, frustrated snarl, like he didn't know what to do anymore.

That was fine with Kidd.

He didn't know what the fuck he was doing anymore either, least of all why Kidd thought fucking Law then and there was a good idea, when someone very dangerous was on the other side of the door. But Kidd didn't like that Law hadn't admitted that the red haired captain had acted accordingly to being treated like a slave, and if nothing else, Kidd was going to get that much out of Law at that point in time.

"Gonna fuck you now. " Kidd muttered after he'd broken the kiss and made his way down to Law's collarbone.

"I'll kill you if Doflamingo kills Penguin." Law muttered back.

"Sure you will. But he said he wouldn't kill him on the island, so shut the fuck up and enjoy this, asshole." Kidd growled irately as he shoved himself up in order to fumble his pants off. The red head grinned the faintest bit at Law looking off the side with a scowl even as the Heart Pirate captain wriggled his pants and briefs off. Kidd was about to slide down and maybe start things off with a blow job when Law, whatever the fuck was going through his head, twisted out of reach and went after Kidd's damn scars with his fingers and lips.

Shit.

That was distracting as hell and not at all what Kidd had planned, so he needed to stop it before the amused, barely there laughs changed into something else. Either teasing or trying to get away or whatever Law had suddenly decided he needed to do. Kidd was quick to flip Law onto his stomach and flatten the other captain on the bed using his bulk to prevent Law from rising and squeezed the dark haired pirate's left wrist lightly with his metal one when it seemed like Law might have used his powers. At a low growl of displeasure, Kidd leaned over and bit the side of Law's neck and then his nearest ear before letting go to whisper. "I think I'm gonna see how long you can handle me fucking you."

"Animal." Law spat out, trying to shift away, even if it was clear he realized that the two of them were naked from the waist down.

"Maybe." Kidd agreed as he retaliated with exploring the scar that went diagonal across the tattoo on Law's back. "You going to fix the tattoo?"

"That doesn't have anything to do with right now, does it?" Law asked after a moment, his voice muffled in the sheets.

"Just askin'. You mentioned it before and-"

"Are you going to fuck me, or have you decided you wish to talk my ear off instead?" Law demanded, as he propped himself up with an arm, "Because if that is the case, then I'll take my leave."

"You're damn unfriendly today." Kidd held Law down easily and congratulated himself on finding medical lube in Law's discarded pants.

"I wonder why." Law said, deadpan. "It couldn't be because you and my crewmate were captured by Doflamingo, who then threatens me to come here or he threatened to kill the both you."

"So you were worried about me then?" The red head grinned at the huff Law made at that before Kidd tapped the Heart Pirate's shoulder with what he'd found and changed topics. "You want to get fucked so bad you carry this around with you?"

"It is for medical purposes, you idiot." Law said crossly, clearly knowing what it was that Kidd had found.

"Keep up with me, Trafalgar." Kidd said with a grin. "You can bitch at me all you want later."

"Don't disappoint me then." Law said after he'd twisted slightly to the side to lock eyes with Kidd. "I won't forget this." The dark haired captain warned.

"You better not. It'll be the best fuck you've had since the last time in that inn." Kidd said with a nasty grin. "Before Straw Hat interrupted us."

"You know what I meant." Law said darkly.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. You'll rip my balls off and cut my dick off if your crewmate dies." Kidd pushed Law back face-down and lightly nipped the nape of his neck. "We still got at least forty minutes before someone comes to check up on us."

"Then you'd better make it quick." Law said after a brief moment's hesitation.

"But that won't be any fun." Kidd mock complained, before he uncapped the tube.

"I could take a nap." Law drawled in a bored way.

"Can't have that." Kidd said as he shut Law up in a different way.

Law's middle finger made an appearance.

"That's better." Kidd grinned. "I'm think I'm gonna make sure that you just pay attention to me right now."

"You are so full of yourself."

They didn't get caught, but it was a close thing because Law and Kidd himself had a hard time remaining silent. It was a wonder they didn't notice the distance sound of cries later that signaled several crews landing on the island and wreaking havoc. But for now, there was a closed door, a bed, and medical lube that Kidd was going to be making damn sure that he used some more to get things rolling.

"So, Trafalgar, do you just want my fingers today or are you gonna stick around long enough to get to the good part?" The red haired pirate asked conversationally.

Law seemed to sag into the sheets even further at that, before he gave Kidd the middle finger again.

"Thought so."

A/N: So an alluded to smut scene and then an attempted smut scene in the next chapter because apparently Kidd couldn't resist and I couldn't resist putting it in the fic (whether or not things went ooc, though to be honest, there is ooc here and there anyway because of the pairing and an attempt to put it in the canon setting). Sometimes i feel like I run out of steam for some chapters, so hopefully this one was all right. It's more of a transition, because I'm hoping to have a good fight in the next chapter (though I don't think anyone's going to complain about the kidlaw part that snuck its way into this chapter).
