Chapter Text

“So, what was the verdict from the doctors, yoi?” Marco asks as Law sits across from him in his office.

Where the alpha doesn’t want to look at him. The word, ‘death’ on his knuckles turning white as Law grips his pants tightly,

“A bunch of bullshit,” Law pops off, though his usual sassy tone isn’t there.

It sounds more like defeat, like his whole world was turned upside down by such news. With just a few choice of words that have been going round and round in his mind since yesterday.

Marco takes off his glasses as he leans forward a bit in his chair. Clasping his hands together on the desk before him as he wants Law to know he’s listening. As he’s not making this a therapy session for he is Law’s Boss, but as someone that cares for him. Law's been working with them for some years now. As he came in together with Ace back when the two were teenagers just trying to survive this world.

“I want to hear it from you and not what your younger sister texted me about last night,” He eases as maybe this will prompt Law to speak.

Law curses, his hand coming up to run over his face, before the male props an elbow onto the chair so he can try and hide his face behind his hand. Where you can’t see his eyes, but you can see him clenching his teeth before letting out a shaky breath. His one leg begins to bounce out of nerves, yet Marco waits. Letting the silence take over to give Law more time. As it must feel overwhelming from such news he received yesterday.

“I…” Law tries but stops as his voice cracks and another breath blows out.

His hands were moving as they were becoming sweaty. Law trying to focus on something else in the office as he rubs the palm of his hands onto his pants,

“You know we’ve all been worried about you. That weak spell you had yesterday at work---” Marco tries another approach and it seems to do the trick as Law cuts him off,

“It’s due to my suppressants.”

Marco watches Law as he can see him going through several emotions from his expression alone. As Law wasn’t sure how his Boss would react to such news but if his sister already talked with him yesterday, he can’t keep hiding it. In fact, what choice did he have anymore? Even if he wanted to keep this secret, he couldn't…not much longer anyway…not if he wanted to live…

“Law, look at me, yoi,” Marco is gentle with his words.

As he keeps his posture relaxed when Law eventually meets his gaze,

“You’re still you.”

Law reacts to these words as he shakes his head, a sad smile appearing on his features,

“I’m not though, I don’t…since the moment I presented, I took suppressants to take on this persona.”

“I know you did what you had to in order to survive, yoi. You lost your parents, you had Lami to take care of, and presenting as an omega wasn’t ideal in this world at the time. You didn’t have many choices back then, but you do now.”

The second Marco said the word, Law jerks slightly like he’d been slapped. As his body tensed up and he looked so lost and broken. As Law’s perfect mask was slipping, this persona that he had everyone fooled by…

“Do I?” Law asks quietly as this was life changing.

Once people knew what he was. Once people see, they’ll treat him differently. They’ll look at him like he’s less than them. Hell, he’ll probably lose this job---

“You will always have a place here if you want to come back and Pops would never kick you out of the apartments. You and Ace are family, even Lami. And we’ll be more than happy to help you---”

“Then help me get more suppressants,” Law urges with hope laced in his voice.

As he doesn’t want to heed the warnings. He doesn’t want to drop this persona. It’s all that he knows for so long. It made life so much easier. He didn’t want to change that. No matter the risks, no matter if it harms his body.

Marco’s gaze becomes stern as he comes to a stand,

“The doctor’s stopped giving them to you for a reason, Law. Your body can’t keep being suppressed like it has been. You need to take their advice and mine as I have expertise in the medical field myself. Ween off the last of the suppressants you have and let your body correct itself. And I know I don’t need to tell you this as you’re a doctor yourself.”

But that would mean he’d lose his alpha status and become what he feared,

A male omega…

“Not anymore,” Law’s voice sounds so sad as he comes to a stand before Marco.

As he looks ready to fall apart at any second since he got caught and they told him the news,

“Since they found out I’m an omega, I can no longer be a heart surgeon like my father…”

Where it wasn’t even the fact that he had been stealing suppressants from the hospital. It was the simple fact that he was a male omega and omegas couldn’t be doctors, much less surgeons in this economy. Omegas had less rights than betas and way less than alphas. And sadly, a male omega had even less than an omega.

It’s why Law had come here, back to his roots, hoping the mafia could help confiscate suppressants for him. All so he could continue with his life, with his dreams he worked so hard for. Yet now, all his hard work was for nothing as he couldn’t make his parents proud or take care of his younger sister…

Marco’s expression shows concern and pain for Law as he doesn’t hesitate to pull the young male into his arms. Law tried to fight it at first, but soon his shoulders hunch, his breath hitching. His fingers clutching onto Marco for something to help ground him through this pain. His cries were silent but Marco felt them soaking into his shoulder.

“It’ll be ok, yoi. We’ll take this one day at a time. You’re not alone.”

Just like back then when Law was homeless with Ace and Lami as they tried to live off the streets. He’s come so far now and his loved ones will make sure to help him fly again…

And now here Law was back at the shitty apartments he called home. A place he usually came back to with a smile on his face. Where he’d happily open his front door and be greeted by Lami and Ace. And yet, just getting off his bike felt heavy. As he didn’t even want to take off his helmet as he worried others would already be able to tell. That they would see who he really was.

And who was he? How does one be themselves when he’s been this persona for so long? He only knows how to be an alpha, not an omega.

He feels lost, broken, angry, on top of his body hurting. As he knows he doesn’t have much time for he only has a little bit of his suppressants left. And he could take the huge dosage now to buy more time, but if he couldn’t get anymore, he’d go cold turkey and that would do heavy damage to his body. But if he weaned off of it, the omega part of him was going to start coming out---

‘What you’ve done, Law, you’re going to need an alpha to help you through this transition or your body could give out.’

Law knows this! He knew of the risks when taking suppressants. He knew of the long term effects as he’s a doctor himself! But he didn’t care about himself! He never did! He did it all for Lami. He did what he had to do in order to survive and he was content doing it like this. He never expected to live a long life, he just wanted to survive to the next day.

But now they’re taking his choice from him. They’re making him face reality and wanting him to live. For what? A horrible shitty life that would be coming no doubt! What good would he be to anyone?!

He’s a disgrace to his family name…to being Lami’s older brother---

“Fuck!” Law shouts it as he makes it to his front door.

But of course he had to drop his keys as his hands were shaky. And now he just wants to scream, thankful that Lami was still in school and Ace had to go in right before he got home. The two having no clue the inner turmoil he’s going through right now---

Law is about to punch the door when he finds someone opening the door beside his apartment,

“Do you have to be so loud this early in the fucking morning, Trafalgar?”

Law doesn’t even have to look to know who it was. As his aura alone irked Law’s nerves. His scent always makes him scrunch his noise up. And that deep voice that made him want to now punch the red head instead,

“I’m surprised you’re not still snoring away after the lay you had last night, Eustass-ya,” Law sassed as his eyes were ablaze and fierce.

Looking right at the taller alpha as he’s ready to go, taking Kid by surprise as he actually comes at him. Kid barely had any time to react, as he didn’t expect Law to actually want to fight him. When usually they just banter back and forth, all bark and no bite. Yet, in this moment, Law is trying to throw a punch at the alpha. Kid catches his wrist at the last second before Law finds himself being pulled forward. His back slamming up against the wall as they’re mere inches apart now. Kid bare chested, those wild and passionate eyes locking with his, as he’s all up in Law’s personal bubble,

“What’s gotten into you?” He questions with heat behind those words.

Because why did Law have to go and piss him off first thing in the morning?!

“Fuck off!” Law hisses as he gets his wrist free, using his shoulder to roughly push the alpha back.

And now Law is trying to walk away like he didn’t just start this shit. Even ignoring him as he goes to pick up his house keys,

“Oh no, Trafalgar! You don’t get to take your shit out on me just because you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. If you want to start a fight with me, then you better finish it!” As Kid strides forth, raring to go.

And he was just trying to grab Law by the back of his shirt collar. But Law went to stand up at the same time, making Kid grab the male’s actual neck. And when he squeezes---

Law lets out an embarrassing sound that makes Kid stop immediately. Which he can freak out about later. But right now, he’s panicking because Law’s body instantly went limp and he had to catch him. Like Law passed out as if he killed him or something!

Oh fuck, what does he do?! It’s too early for this shit!

Kid’s first thought is to call his best friend and roommate, Killer. But his second though quickly interrupts his first thought. Which is to get Law inside to not cause a scene as well as his phone was back in his apartment.

“You better not die on me, Trafalgar, I swear,” Kid mutters under his breath as he scooped Law up into his arms and took him into his apartment.

And this is how Killer gets a call at work from Kid about Law passed out on their living room couch…

Chapter Text

Hmm, something is off here. Something indeed, because Ace swears since the moment he came into work, he keeps hearing the Whitebeards talk about Law. But why would they be talking about him like they just saw him? He should be still sleeping back at the apartments since being sick yesterday…

“Why is your face like that?” Nami snorts as she asks.

For Ace keeps giving this confused and lost expression as he moves about the bar. Like, was he looking for something he misplaced and can’t find it?

Ace stops what he’s doing and looks to Nami,

“Have you been hearing others talking about Law too?”

Nami raises an eyebrow at him, “Uh, yeah. He apparently came in to talk to the Boss earlier. But wouldn’t you know that since you’re his roommate?”

What?! So Law did show up here! Wait, that meant he snuck out while he was still sleeping again! And he even had the audacity to make it look like he was still in bed like some teenager sneaking out! Oh, just you wait until Ace gets a hold of him because he should be resting dammit---

“Hey, cover for me man, I gotta go. Kid said that Law is passed out in our apartment!” Killer can be heard from the back as he’s coming out and jogging towards the front entrance.

Excuse me?!

Nami knows from the look that Ace gives what he’s already gonna say. And even if she said no, Ace was already heading towards the front entrance to meet up with Killer,

“You owe me for this!” Nami can be heard shouting as Ace takes off out the door.

Catching up to Killer, “Is Law ok?!”

Killer stops and finds Ace there,

“I…I don’t know. Kid said they got into an argument that led into a fight---”

“They actually fought physically?!” Ace is growing upset but Killer clamps hands onto his shoulders,

“Look, let’s figure it out there, we’re wasting time here.”

Fuck, he’s right. So Ace nods, the two moving to head to their vehicles,

“Just ride with me,” Killer urges and Ace doesn’t have to be told twice.

Hell, he’d probably crash trying to get back home because all he can think about is his best friend.

Was he ok?

What was even going on?

Did Kid hurt him?

“Law already had some sort of weak spell yesterday,” Ace blurts out as he has to talk or he’s not going to stay calm.

And who better to vent to than Killer as this man remained level headed no matter the situation. Just look at him driving way over the speed limit and breaking all the laws, but professionally. And in such a calm manner too.

“He’s been pulling a lot of night shifts at the hospital, right?” Killer asks and Ace nods.

Bracing himself against the car door as Killer takes a sharp turn without even letting off the gas,

“Sometimes they’ll go into the afternoon the next day too. But yesterday…he wouldn’t tell me much…he said something about him getting sick like a cold or something. He was supposed to be sleeping when I left!” Ace makes sure to let someone know how it upset him that Law was obviously keeping something from him.

Something that he didn’t want Ace to worry about and yet here he was, worrying!

“Kid said Law came at him trying to punch him before walking away. And Kid isn’t going to let that slide, so he tried to yank him by his collar to get his attention, but accidentally grabbed him by the neck---”

“He killed him?!” Ace is thinking the worst.

Kid is twice Law’s size and is a giant fella. One good squeeze by Kid and anyone’s neck could snap in two no problem---

“No, he didn’t kill Law…at least I hope he didn’t,” Killer whispers the last part.

Which Ace hears him whispering but not what it was,

“What was that?” Ace is now demanding answers as this was his best friend’s life on the line here!

“It took a minute to get Kid to listen to what I was saying and I asked if he was breathing,” Killer puts out there as they turn another corner.

As their apartment complex was in the near distance,

“And?!” Ace is throwing his hands about in a dramatic fashion for Killer to tell him.

“I assume that’s what he was doing when he cursed and then the call dropped.”

And yes, Killer tried calling back twice with no answer.

“Why aren’t you flooring it faster?!” Ace demands in question as he ready to put his foot over Killer’s to get the job done.

“Because we’re here,” Killer pushes Ace back into his seat before hitting the brakes.

As he was kind enough to help keep the male in his seat while also smoothly pulling into a parking spot one handed.

It actually had Ace stilling for a moment as he thinks of how badass that was---wait, no! He needs to get to his best friend!

“Law!” Ace calls out as he’s hopping out before Killer can put the car into park.

With Killer hopping out next as he shuts both their doors and the sound of his car locking is heard in the distance. As both were rushing to get to the apartment door.

“Your best friend or not, if he hurt Law then I have more than enough permission to kick his ass,” Ace states as they jog up the steps two at a time.

“Likewise, Law did go after Kid in the first place. So if you try to attack my best friend, I will intervene,” Killer says as the two run together to the door.

With Ace trying to put his key into the hole before Killer batted his hand away, because oh, right! It’s not his apartment---

Ace grabs at his hair in worry as Killer calmly in the slowest manner possible, according to him, before the door opens and they’re both calling out for their best friend.

As they hear commotion coming from the kitchen---

“Law---” Ace calls out again before stopping at the sight he sees.

With Killer doing the same thing as they take in Law with a kitchen knife to Kid’s throat as the alpha keeps him caged in…

Previously,

Check if his breathing? Oh fuck, why didn’t he think of that during his panic?!

Kid sets his phone down onto the coffee table next to the couch as he goes to check if his breathing. Except with him getting mighty close, it looks well, rather intimate. Law’s lips were even parted slightly and with his eyes closed, no one could deny that the alpha was attractive. Especially since he wasn’t sassing or popping off at the mouth like he normally does. So Kid can now look at Law freely and yep, nope, he ducks his head as he decides to try a different approach. Which is actually way more intimate but Kid can do this as he lays his head onto the male’s chest. Listening out for his heartbeat---

Oh? It’s suddenly beating so loudly---

There’s movement, Law moving fast and Kid curses as he realizes that the male was awake now. As he tries to move back just as fast, barely missing Law’s heeled boot from making contact with his jaw---

But it makes him fall off the couch, trying to catch himself on the coffee table. Thus, hitting the phone and ending the call, before his phone slid under the couch. Kid too busy trying to stop Law from punching him,

“What is your problem?! I’m trying to fucking help you!”

“I didn’t ask for your help. Nor did I tell you to touch me and bring me into your place!” Law sasses as he’s pissed.

As he wanted to be anywhere other than in enemy territory here. Much less, with the guy he hated the most.

Eustass Kid

Law gets up, ready to head to the door, but his legs were wobbly and he has to catch himself on the chair nearby,

“Will you sit your ass back down?! You’re obviously not ok---”

“Fuck you!” Law practically hisses as he’ll crawl his way back to his apartment if he had to.

But everything was disorientating for some reason and it made him have to stop to brace a hand against his head. His eyes squeezed shut as his heart beat so loud in his ears.

“Actually…wait…” Law tries to get out as he’s feeling weak again.

With Kid moving fast to catch him, Law trying to struggle,

“I’m waiting, you dumbass, but I’m not about to let you fall and get injured. You might bleed all over the carpet and that shit’s hard to get out.”

Of course he’d be more concerned about the carpet---

Law feels his strength coming back to him and uses that chance to push back. Taking Kid by surprise as his back hits the wall and he lets Law go. The male heading to the closest area, which was the kitchen. With Law not hesitating to grab one of Killer’s prized kitchen knives as he rounds on Kid at the same time the alpha tries to cage him in.

And here Law was with a knife to Kid’s throat and the alpha’s eyes lit up with that wild and heated gaze,

“I didn’t know you were into such foreplay, Trafalgar,” Kid says with a feral grin on his face.

As Kid was now itching to beat Law’s ass for starting all of this shit and now pulling this.

“I do cut into people for a living so don’t tempt me, Eustass-ya,” Law threatens with his eyes burning fiercely.

But Kid loves danger as he leans into the blade, his eyes flashing of his alpha,

“Try me, I got all damn morning. But I’m not letting you leave---” Kid doesn’t even get to finish his sentence.

Because two things happen. One, being that Law reacts to the flashing of his eyes with a flashing of his own. Which, um, no, that can’t be right, cause the color was different. But Kid didn’t get to dwell on it for long because the second thing that happens,

Is Killer and Ace entering the apartment---

And Ace is now throwing fists---

“Ace-ya!” Law calls out as Killer doesn’t hesitate to tackle the alpha.

The two hit the kitchen counter as Law removes the knife when Kid moves back,

“Get away from Law!” Ace demands and Kid frowns,

“I haven’t done anything,” He tries to explain.

But neither want to hear it as Law comes forth to try and get Ace to calm down. As Killer had him in a hold to keep him from hurting Kid.

“I’m fine, stop it already,” Law says and Ace stops trying to fight the moment he feels the male touching him.

As Law comes into view and Killer lets him go. Backing up to stand next to Kid as Ace grabs a hold of Law’s shoulders. The male wincing like he was in pain as he tries to get away from his touch. Ace noticing right away and lifts his hand,

“Shit, you did get hurt---”

“No, it’s---let’s just go,” Law gets out as he doesn’t want to be in this apartment any longer.

As he doesn’t want to be around Kid because his scent is too much. His aura makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up. His body shivering as he can feel Kid’s heated and intense gaze still on him. Making his body itch and feel weird. Where his flight or fight instincts were kicking in and Law would like to go back to his own den now.

But he also found that he didn’t like Ace touching him at all. Completely different than when Kid kept touching him---

“Now,” Law sasses as he’s already trying to leave.

His legs feel like jello the more he gets closer to the door. And he’s struggling as the others can see it, Ace trying to help. Law having to bite his lip to not jerk his body away. To not grow upset at his best friend so he can help him out the door.

With the alpha of course following into the living room as Kid’s voice is loud as ever,

“Next time, don’t start fights if you’re weak, Trafalgar.”

Fueling that fire inside of Law as the male grits his teeth, using that strength to not only flick the alpha the bird, but to slam the door shut behind them---

And Killer waits as he counts, one…two…three…

“I don’t know why I even bothered. I should’ve left him out in the hallway.”

Yep, here we go again as Kid is about to wax poetry about his number one arch nemesis.

Trafalgar Law

Where ever since they moved in next door to Law and Ace as their last apartment building flooded, he has been talking about Law.

Law this, Law that. As if the alpha has personally sought out to ruin his life by merely existing in his presence. And even Kid doesn’t understand it himself. On why he cared so much about an alpha. Like Law was threatening his territory or trying to take his woman or something. Nope, none of that. All Law has to do is lock gazes with him and Kid is raring to go. Law simply has to be within range of Kid and the alpha reacts.

And though Kid doesn’t understand it, Killer does. But he’s not going to be the one to tell the alpha what he’s actually experiencing. Not until Kid wants to go down that path and asks him personally. Because Kid is not aware of it that he might in fact, not just be into women.

Or maybe he might only be into Trafalgar Law when it came to the men department.

But Killer is not about to tell an alpha that he’s crushing on another alpha. No, no, his best friend needs to come to that conclusion on his own.

It’s safer that way…

Chapter Text

“His face irritates me, his scent makes me want to punch things. And when he gets too close, I have this sensation to explode from the inside out,” Kid keeps going as Killer is always there to listen to his best friend.

Taking this time to take his break and make something for the both of them to eat as they’ll go into work together. The Boss already said it was fine, so why not take this chance to talk about what went down this morning.

“So he came at you first for no reason?” Killer is still shocked by this.

For Law is normally calm and collected like he was, well, except when it came to Kid. Even then, Law has never physically tried to fight the alpha. He’ll banter, they’ll bicker. They’ll get up in each other’s faces and talk mad game. But neither ever actually tried to act on their words.

Kid runs a hand through his messy hair as he recalls the prior events,

“He was pissed about something because I heard him cussing before opening the door to check.”

Meaning, Kid no doubt said something to rile up the alpha more.

Killer hums softly as he moves about the kitchen, the sound of the food sizzling nicely in the saute pan. The smell filling the air,

“Ace did mention that Law hasn’t been feeling good since yesterday.”

“That doesn’t mean he can take it out on me,” Kid lightly huffs as he props himself up against the counter.

His arms folded over his bare chest as he forms a pout,

“I was simply checking up on him when he had to bring up me getting laid.”

Killer peeks his head over his shoulder to look Kid’s way,

“Isn’t that what you wanted?”

Killer knows all about Kid bringing women over to the apartment to have sex just so Law would know. As Kid makes sure Law will be home and does it at a time that the alpha will be trying to sleep in his room. And this idea came to Kid the moment he realized that Law’s room was directly on the other side of his room. Kid finding out when Law told him to turn his music down due to the walls being thin and he can hear every damn word. Of course, Kid told Law to invest in ear plugs or learn good taste.

“Yes, but I didn’t pay good money for them bitches to fake moan and make it sound good, just for Law to want to actually fight me.”

Kid is literally pouting like a toddler as he didn’t get the reaction he wanted from Law. A reaction of what exactly, Killer isn’t sure. For he assumed Kid would want Law to be pissed off, so what was he actually hoping for?

His attention to keep him coming back?

To keep Law focused on him and no one else?

To learn more about Law and Law to learn about him?

Because he’s going about it in such a weird way…

Killer uses the handle to flip the eggs in the saute pan with ease as he says,

“I’m surprised you’ve been paying them and not actually sleeping with them.”

Kid shrugs his shoulders, his pout turning into a frown, “I have no interest in sleeping with them whores.”

God, can Kid be anymore obvious?!

Killer has known his best friend since childhood and one thing he’s learned about him is that the alpha is a passionate lover. He may act and sound like a player, but the moment his heart is captured, he’s loyal as can be. And for the longest time, Kid was with Victoria. Until he found out that she’d been cheating on him since the start. So he’d been going through a big heartbreak and hasn’t sought out another. Claiming he was trying to come back to himself. And he did. It just so happened to be around the same time Law showed up in Kid’s life.

So you’re telling Killer that Kid hasn’t actually slept with anyone for some time now?!

It makes Killer let out a fond sigh as he plates up the food. Kid reacting to it as he talks,

“I get it, I won’t do it again. Though it makes me happy knowing Trafalgar can’t get sleep because of me, all it’s done is bring him closer to firefist.”

Oh for the love of---does he hear himself?!

Killer turns on his heel, raising the spatula with him,

“They’re best friends like we are,” He reminds Kid to try and help him out.

Because Kid can’t seriously be jealous of Ace here.

Kid isn’t getting the picture here as he takes the plate from Killer’s other hand,

“He claims I’m a player and yet he’s one himself,” Kid mumbles under his breath but Killer hears it.

His eyebrows shoot up as he resists the urge to smack some sense into his best friend. So he sets the spatula down into the sink before busying his hands with his own plate of food,

“And you know this, how?”

Because Killer has yet to hear about Law being with anyone. Did he even have time since he became a doctor at the hospital?

Kid stabs his fork into his omelet aggressively before taking a bite,

“We all know good and damn well that Ace is a power bottom since that one block party.”

And?

“So he must go to Ace’s room when they want to have sex.”

Killer about chokes on his food as he’s quick to pick up his glass to take a drink. Because what in the hell has his best friend been thinking of lately?!

“You’ve actually confirmed this or it’s just speculation.”

Kid shoves half the omelet into his mouth, “I just know! I have a feeling!”

As it’s getting him all hot and bothered from merely thinking about it.

You know what, Kid might be doing more than just crushing on Law. He might be obsessed here and that’s not healthy---

“Even if they are, so what?” Killer keeps asking questions.

Keeping the conversation flowing as he hopes Kid will catch on to what he’s saying. Of the craziest shit that’s coming out of his mouth right now!

Kid stares down at his empty plate with an expression as if the plate itself made him upset,

“I want to ruin it like he’s ruined my life,” He states quietly.

Stop, Kid is too precious right now---

Killer is quick to cover his mouth with a napkin to hide his smile,

“You did declare when you two first met that you wanted to make his life utter hell.”

“And I will!” Kid bounces right back, his eyes ablaze.

Just not today because Law wasn’t feeling good…

And that’s because kicking an enemy when they’re down is no fun and it’s pointless. Kid wants to win fair and square and he sees Law as an equal and worthy opponent.

“The moment he’s back on his feet, I’ll be right there to fuck with him.”

Ah, young love…

Killer takes Kid’s plate as he puts it with his into the sink,

“How about you go get ready so we can head into work then.”

Kid looking at the time as, ‘Oh shit!’ He’s gonna be late! And takes off to finish getting ready.

Killer shaking his head as he takes care of the dishes while he waits…

Meanwhile,

Law would rather a sink hole appear in the middle of their upstairs apartment building, so it can swallow him up and take him away from this conversation.

One where Law had caved and revealed to his best friend that he was, in fact, an omega. Even showing him the test results from the hospital itself after he had his weak spell. To the suppressant bottles as Ace still didn’t believe him.

And right when it officially clicked for Ace that Law was truly a male omega. The first words that came out of his mouth made Law ready to fight all over again,

“Should I buy you a dildo?”

Like it was going to magically solve all of Law’s problems…

Chapter Text

That’s it---

Law gets up from the couch so he can leave this conversation. Yet Ace blocks his path, trying to touch him to stop him. But it causes Law to jerk away from his touch as if it burned,

“Ah shit, I keep forgetting you don’t want to be touched right now,” Ace apologizes as he backs up some.

Law sighs as he’s frustrated, tired and over what his body is doing,

“It’s not me, it’s my body,” He tries to put it simply.

Ace pouts, “You mean, it’s your body coming off the suppressants.”

Law gives his best friend a look, because he knows Ace isn’t about to lecture a doctor on what he knows is happening to his own body.

“I was running low on suppressants, so I was trying to space it out long enough until I could get some more. But I didn’t have enough time.”

Thus causing his weak spell in the hospital as he was already pushing so many shifts.

Ace can’t help but look back at the test results sitting on the coffee table once more,

“Male omega…it’s so weird seeing it when your test results have always shown alpha before.”

Law snatches the results as he crumbles it up in his hands,

“That’s what suppressants do. It makes everyone, including your own body, into thinking it’s something it’s not.”

“But an alpha? Why not go for a beta?”

Law really didn’t want to be having this conversation with his best friend,

“Because alphas get more opportunities and I had to take care of Lami. Not to mention, being an alpha would have most alphas back off. As I didn’t need anyone finding out the truth about me.”

For if they did, all his rights would be taken away. Hell, if they bit him, his whole life would be over in an instant.

Ace’s expression goes through so many emotions as he realizes how dangerous of a life his best friend had been living. And how Law had kept such a secret from everyone for years.

Years worth of damage that was being done to his body.

“Suppressants are temporary though---”

“I know this. Trust me, I know---” Law doesn’t need to be told how stupidly dangerous it was.

He knew the risks, but he had no choice back then. He lost his parents at the same time of presenting as an omega. And if he didn’t stop his heat right then and there by stealing the suppressants in the hospital, he would’ve lost Lami. He would’ve lost control of his life. So he did what he had to do.

Ace can see that fierce passion in Law’s eyes as the male has no regrets about the choices he made. As Law would do it all over again even if he knew what the future held. Because his sister was more than worth it. The life he worked so hard for so his sister could have a normal life. So he could try and make his parents proud…

“What is happening to your body?” Ace looks ready to cry.

And this is why Law didn’t want anyone to find out. But Lami found out from Bepo and since she already told Marco, there’s no going back now. Hell, it wasn’t like Law could hide it much longer anyway.

Even with the suppressants, his body was fighting itself…

“It doesn’t matter,” Law tries to brush it off as he doesn’t want to worry his best friend any more than he already has.

“It does, because it’s you.”

Ace doesn’t budge, his expression so raw as Law has no choice but to either physically touch him to move him, or stand here until he caves.

And Law caves right away as Ace has been through so much with him,

“My body is trying to shut down.”

Ace’s face makes Law’s heart clench painfully. As he hasn’t even seen his sister yet and he already knows that the moment he does, it’s going to break him.

As he’s hurting those he cares about…

“Law…” Ace has to stop as he gets choked up.

His hands clench into fists as he’s no doubt blaming himself for not noticing. For not being able to help sooner. For not having Law be able to rely on him---

“Don’t, this isn’t your fault,” Law tells him, “I knew the huge side effects of suppressants. I’m the one who made this choice and it helped me get this far. It helped me be able to meet you in the first place---”

Law stops as he sees tears falling from Ace’s eyes and the alpha’s expression contorts in pain,

“I can’t even comfort you right now…”

Oh…this big loving goofball---

“You’ve been hurting and torturing yourself. And now that you’re going through all of this, I can’t do anything but stand this close, yet feeling so far away from you.”

“Hey, no, it’s most likely due to me coming off the suppressants. It’s going to throw my whole body out of whack, so any alpha right now will probably make me react like this for a while.”

Especially as more of his omega is going to come out to the surface. Think of it like someone trapped in a cage for so long, before suddenly being let free and not knowing how to react or what to do. It’ll be like relearning himself all over again and around others.

Ace sniffles, wiping his face with his arm,

“There has to be something I can do for you. I recall seeing it saying how you’ll need an alpha to help guide you---”

“Ace…just stop talking,” Law lets out gently.

As from looking at Law you can tell that everything is overwhelming right now. And he wants to take it one day at a time. He just lost his dream job. His whole world is being flipped upside down. The last thing he wants to think about right now, is finding an alpha that’s compatible with him to take control over everything.

He would like to hold onto his freedom for a little bit longer if he could…

“Ok,” Ace says after a moment of silence.

And Law thinks he’s finally gotten through to his best friend. That he is going to let things be for now---

It only lasts for a minute before he’s doing something that is totally an Ace thing to do,

“What are you doing?” Law accuses as he knows it’s something he shouldn’t be doing if he’s not telling you first of what he’s about to do.

“Nothing,” Ace says as he’s turning around like Law can’t see the phone being taken out of his pants pocket---

“Who are you planning on calling?” Law is now moving forth, ready to snatch the phone as Ace tries to keep it away.

“Come on, Law, just let me help you by finding you someone who can,” He tries as Law not letting him open his contacts on his phone---

“I don’t need anyone’s help---” Law gets out as they begin struggling.

Law fighting with himself as touching Ace makes his body react negatively. And it’s letting the alpha have the upper hand here,

“But my brother has an omega male friend who can help you!” Ace pleads before Law is now tackling him onto the couch.

Because hell no! They’re not about to involve Luffy in this!

“Your brother would be the last option I’d use,” Law sasses as Ace pops up from underneath the male.

Holding the phone up high in triumph, just to have his grin fading as he realizes he just dialed someone.

And it’s not exactly who he wanted, but she was the last person who texted him since he did kind of leave her to work the bar by herself…

Before Ace can get out to Law that they accidentally called someone, she picks up the call and the alpha takes his chance,

“Nami! Tell Sanji to come to my apartment stat! Thanks!”

All before you can hear Law literally growling in the background before the call ends…

“You idiot!” Law lets out before he’s pushing Ace off of him so he can get up.

“Law wait----” Ace frowns as he can tell he pissed off his best friend.

And the way Law doesn’t stop as he heads to his bedroom…

Plus the loud slamming of his bedroom door…

Then the silence…

Ace sighs, but Law is going to have to forgive him later. He’s not going to let his best friend suffer alone any longer.

Now time will tell if Sanji will actually show up…

“I have a feeling this day is going to be hell,” Kid voices as he’s walking with Killer to the front door.

“It’s sure as hell one way to start the day,” Killer agrees as neither expected such a morning.

But surely it couldn’t get any worse---

The two barely step outside their apartment before seeing that Ace and Law had company entering their home in a rushed manner…

“Is that---” Kid starts but Killer is quick to lock the door before tugging on his friend’s clothing,

“Nope, we are not going to assume anything right now and mind our business.”

But that was Sanji and Zoro! What the hell were the power couple doing over there?! Shouldn’t Law be resting? Or was the alpha always sneaking those two in there once he was at work---

“Kid, I can see what you’re thinking as it’s written all over your face.”

“But---”

“No, buts, focus on work instead.”

Kid curses under his breath as he keeps up with Killer’s pace. As he wishes he could focus on anything else other than that damn alpha. But for some reason, he can’t.

It’s been getting worse with time…

And it doesn’t help him shake this feeling he’s getting as he gets further away from him…

“Can we not?” Law is ready to beg and he doesn’t do that.

He was trying to actually follow the hospital’s advice and get some rest. But no, the world wanted to torture him by putting more people into his life to ‘help’ with his situation.

Well, it’s actually only Sanji as Zoro hung out with Ace due to him being an alpha. And Zoro respected Law to not just enter his den. Sanji on the other hand respected Law, but he gave zero fucks right now as he literally kicked open his door,

“Oh, we’re doing this. I did not rush over here, missing out on my date with mosshead, for you to wallow away in bed. So tell me what the fuck is going on because everyone has been worried about you.”

Great, how fast has word been spreading? Actually no, he’s surprised it hasn’t spread further by now. Since Luffy and Ace both have the loudest mouths that match their bottomless pit of what they call stomachs.

“Can you close the door first?” Law asks to buy some time.

Which Sanji does more gently before moving to sit on the edge of the bed. Propping one leg up over the other as he makes himself comfortable like he had all the time in the world.

“Care if I smoke?”

“No,” Law breathes out as he keeps facing the wall.

Listening out as he hears the lighter flick open and the smell of the cigarette filling the air.

It actually helps to calm him as it reminds him of the cop that pulled him from the car wreckage with his sister. As that familiar scent stained his clothing…

Sanji doesn’t say anything else as he gives Law his moment. As this wasn’t like Law to be acting like this. And from hearing about his weak spell to Nami calling him about Law passing out again, well…

It must not be good from how this silence was taking over Law’s mind. And how thankful Ace looked to see him. Though Sanji doesn’t understand why. Yes, Law and him are good acquaintances through Luffy and Ace. But he has no idea how he specifically could help Law medically. Unless it’s to cook him some meals---

“How did Zoro become your alpha?”

Hmm?

Sanji was about to take another drag of his cigarette when Law asks this. In fact, it makes him raise an eyebrow as it was a question he’d never expect Law to ask him. But he answers nonetheless,

“We’ve been childhood friends since we were both young boys. After my step father took me in, his restaurant was close by to the dojo that Zoro’s parents run. Least to say, we practically grew up together.”

Sanji flicks the lighter open and close softly as he reminisces those memories. As he leans his head back against the headboard and watches the ceiling fan go round and round,

“He didn’t react differently once your presented?”

Sanji actually smiles at this, as he stops flicking the lighter and looks to find Law had rolled over to his back,

“The opposite really, as it was me who acted differently. As I was scared of how he would see me. As well as being scared of how my feelings for the alpha were growing. The world is cruel to omegas like me and the last thing I wanted was for that man to hate me or look at me with disgust…yet…” Sanji looks forward as his grin grows,

“That man never changed in how he saw me, he only loved me harder. Going at my pace, until I was ready to accept myself, to love myself, and we’ve been together ever since.”

You can hear in his voice how much Sanji loved Zoro. Of how thankful he was to have an alpha like him in his life.

“I consider myself lucky every day that fate allowed me to be with this man.”

Where Sanji didn’t have to do it alone. He didn’t have to worry as he already had an alpha that could protect him and love him until the very end.

But Law didn’t have such luck. He also didn’t get to go through being himself properly since a young age so doing it now while in your late twenties…fuck, it was---

“I’m scared to be me,” Law admits as he’s able to look Sanji’s way and catches his gaze.

With Sanji meeting him with a gentle smile as the omega had put the pieces together,

“If you want, I’d be more than happy to give you tips and talk about any questions you might have.”

As Sanji realized why he had been called and it makes him happy to know that he can be useful in such a way. As he never thought he’d run into another like him.

“I know as a doctor that coming off suppressants is affecting my body even more. But it makes me not want to be around Ace-ya right now.”

“Hmm, that side of you hasn’t been out before, so it would make sense that you’d be in defense mode around other alphas, even those you’re close to.”

“Yeah but…”

Law doesn’t know how to explain it. Because it’s different from how it was with Kid.

“Should we test it with the swordsman?” Sanji offers and Law nods.

Fully appreciating how Sanji was handling this. As he’s calm, collected and it helps greatly that he’s a male omega too. Like he already knew some of things he’d be experiencing,

“When I first presented as an omega, I didn’t want any alpha near me unless it was Zoro. He made me feel safe, even though I kept pushing him away at the time like he repulsed me,” Sanji says as he gets up to head to the door.

Sanji then opens the door to call out to his mate. With Zoro appearing in the doorway not long after…

And this is how Ace finds them, with Law hugging Zoro as Sanji helped to initiate it…

Which ends up getting told way out of proportion and you guessed it…

Word gets back to Kid at work…

Chapter Text

“Why isn’t she getting her food?” Kid asks out loud as him and the other cooks are watching Nami’s food dying under the heat lamp.

“We’re not even that busy yet,” Wire mentions and it’s only fueling Kid’s anger.

Because ain’t no way in hell was he about to remake shit for her.

“She’s over there, Boss,” Heat gestures with his head as Kid looks in that direction.

Oh, his blood is boiling as Nami was just chilling at the break table while on her phone!

“Fuck that---” He curses as he’s already striding towards her.

Ready to lay it on her as she always pulls shit like this. And he’s not about to do it on his shift. But the moment he goes to open his mouth, she says,

“Look Vivian, first he tells me about Law hugging Zoro with Sanji involved. And now apparently the emergency Ace had needed the two for, was actually them going to a sex shop!”

She even holds up the phone for Vivian to see what Ace sent a photo of to her. And sure enough, you can see the sex shop sign and the three boys walking in as Ace took the photo.

All of which Kid can see as his brain immediately dings with---

“I fucking knew it!”

Which scared the two ladies, Nami almost dropping her phone, but Kid was already walking away. There was no time to waste now as Kid was not about to let any of them have some freaky threesome, foursome, whatever it may be! Because he’s going to go and ruin Law’s life like usual!

“I’m taking my break, Thatch,” Kid announces as he takes off his apron and walks out the kitchen doors towards the front.

Leaving Wire and Heat confused while Killer is growing worried.

Just what happened in a matter of a minute?!

Luffy appears as he leaves the busser cart in the middle of the alley as he overhead Nami talking about his brother.

“Sex shop? Let me see! Is that the place my brother found cool looking toys from but refused to let me play with them?”

Excuse me?!

Meanwhile, Marco shakes his head as he walks into the back,

“What is with everyone today, yoi?”

“It’s Monday,” Izo replies as he doesn’t miss a beat.

Thatch laughing as word was already spreading about Ace,

“Any day is a good day to have sex---”

“Thatch no,” Marco warns as he heads to his office.

What a Monday indeed…

“I would like to go back home now,” Law says with such a disinterested facial expression.

As he looks like he’d rather be anywhere else but here and with these three.

“Unfortunately, this is the only place that has collars for omegas and things they need,” Sanji tells him.

As omegas, especially male omegas, were seen as objects to own and also used for sexual pleasure. So lots of alphas come to sex shops to dress up their omega like some doll and other stuff. And that much is made clear by how there’s a huge section of it. With lots of alphas with their omegas. Making Law highly irritated and uncomfortable.

Like look at these omegas! One has a muzzle over their mouth like they’re not allowed to speak unless spoken to. Another barely has any clothes on that she’s practically showing off everything for the world to see. While one refuses to look up from the ground to make eye contact with anyone. All while their alphas think this is fine and dandy. Like it’s normal to treat someone like they’re less than them. Just a hole to use and breed.

Oh hell, no, Law would rather die and than let some alpha own him---

“Can you not glare fiercely at everyone here, you’re going to start a fight,” Zoro warns him.

But Law looks at him and dares him to tell him what to do. With Zoro putting his hands up into the air as he wasn’t trying to upset Law.

“Suit yourself,” Zoro says as Ace is too busy looking away,

“Are you sure you don’t want anything?” Ace asks as here he goes holding up a random toy.

Law feels a headache coming on as he rubs at his temples and lets out a sigh,

“I don’t have interest in any of this stuff,” As he’s quick to say it before Ace can say anything else inappropriate.

“That’s due to the suppressants I assume,” Zoro comments low enough so only they could hear.

Which Law appreciates because he didn’t want others knowing he wasn’t actually an alpha in this shop.

“It’s one of the main common side effects. It affects your libido and the longer you take them, it can completely kill your sex drive,” Law replies back nonchalantly.

And he was fine with that, he got more done in life as he wasn’t distracted by hormones and such. Besides, it was safer that way and his main priority was taking care of Lami and getting them off the streets. And keeping them off the streets.

It was all about survival back then…

Ace holds up another toy, “But you’ll eventually get it back so…”

Law merely walks away as he was not about to entertain this. And it made him feel more comfortable being around the omega. It also helped that Sanji went ahead and measured his neck so he knew what size collar to get Law. As well as putting some other items into his basket he was holding. And to anyone else, they would assume it was all for Sanji and Law was very much ok with that.

Zoro of course sticks close by and Law found out when he had hugged the alpha, that it wasn’t as bad as it was with Ace. Law assumed it was due to having Sanji’s scent all over him and that he was loyally mated with the omega. But Ace had been upset about it as he still had to keep a distance away. In fact, he had to sit in the back shoved all the way in the corner of the car with Zoro. Just so Law would stop clenching his teeth and looking ready to claw his own skin to get away from Ace.

Law steered clear of those couples and thought he could finally breathe. But the moment they round a corner of one of the aisles, an alpha by himself appeared. And all of the hair on the back of Law’s neck stood up. Making him scowl as his scent assaulted his senses and he hated it. It made him want to actually throw up. So of course his face is not looking pleased.

Law should’ve taken more of his suppressants but Ace was so adamant on leaving the apartment right then and there---

“You got a problem, punk?” The alpha growls out.

Yep, this is what Zoro was trying to warn him about. And Zoro had went the wrong direction, Sanji following after to redirect him, so of course he’s by himself at the moment. Who knows what toy had Ace’s attention at the moment. So Law had to take matters into his own hands. And he’s been more than capable of handling alphas.

Just not right now since his body is fighting itself…

“Do you?” Law sasses back, not standing down as he’s not some weak bitch.

Law even glares fiercely to seem more intimating with an aura to clearly fuck off. Though it tends to work on many, this one must’ve been itching for a fight. Because here he comes---

Oh fuck, don’t come closer, it’s making his body freak out and not be able to properly fight back---

Just to find someone grabbing the alpha’s wrist and stopping them from punching Law. Leaving Law in awe as he takes in who it is. Shocked that he’d even step in for him, as red hair comes into frame. That tall muscular body blocking the alpha’s view of Law as those wild and golden eyes mean business,

“Hands off, only I can fight Trafalgar,” Kid declares.

The alpha is practically shitting himself from Kid’s stature alone. But Law finds himself gaining strength all of a sudden. And with him getting all fired up, he reaches out to touch Kid. Ready to tell him that he can fight his own battles---

Yet the moment he touches Kid, his body reacts…

With a pleasant sensation. One of warmth and strength and…it’s calming his body…what the fuck?!

It stills Law as this wasn’t like that before. Wait, no, if he thinks about it---

Yeah, nope, on second thought, Law would very much not think about this while in the middle of a sex shop. So it helps when Kid starts fighting the guy. Easily beating him up as the other alpha gets slammed into a bunch of sex toys that fall down around him. Law focusing on Kid beating this guy’s ass while Sanji and Zoro calmly check out. Not paying attention to the scared cashier as the employee had no idea what to do in such a situation. But he continues to check them out, before the two simply head towards the front door.

All before Law realizes he’s just been staring at Kid and not doing anything. What the hell is wrong with him?

But the fight is over and here Kid was turning to face him with a feral grin. Both stilling as Law can’t help but continue staring at him in awe. Something Kid wasn’t used to for usually Law would have some sassy remark or be trying to walk away by now.

Not looking at him so intently and…cutely…

Kid becomes flustered because why was Law staring at him like that?! He had no right looking all cute and shit---wait, no! He came here to ruin whatever was going on between Law and those three!

“I’ll drop the stuff off later!” Sanji is heard saying as him and Zoro just leave.

Literally leaving him here with this giant beast!

Law actually looks scared for a second as he looks around for Ace. For surely, his best friend didn’t abandon him---

He notices Ace over by the selection of dildos. He’s so focused on picking one that he’s not aware of his surroundings. And with him debating between a bright pink one and a glitter one, Law was not about to interrupt that and bring attention to Kid.

So he must run now, even though his body apparently doesn’t want to flee. As the moment he goes to walk, it’s like his body puts on the brakes. Cutting off the mad shit talking that Kid had been going off on that Law was too busy having an inner turmoil to hear---

“So now your plans are ruined---holy shit---” Kid is reacting instinctively and keeps Law from tripping over himself.

Giving Law immediate strength and energy. Which nope, no no, he refuses to think about it right now. Please just let him leave and get away!

And though Law is able to smack Kid’s hands away and move a bit. Kid is hot on his trail. Which actually helps in a strange way. But it doesn’t help Law mentally as he’s trying to get away from the alpha!

“Eustass-ya, fuck off!” Law sasses as he turns to flick him the bird.

Just to find Kid so close, his gaze so wild and intense---

Yep, there goes his legs as they turn into jello---

But Kid grabs a hold of him. Keeping him steady…

Fuck…is all Law can think of as he realizes something…

Something very, very wrong is happening to him…

“Outside…” Law struggles to get the words out as he looks scared and lost.

And for once, Kid doesn’t argue with him as he helps Law get outside.

Ace soon appearing in excitement,

“Law, I found the perfect one for---you?” His excitement dies as he notices that Law was around.

In fact, neither were Sanji or Zoro…

Suddenly, Ace notices a familiar car getting ready to leave the parking lot as it backs out.

“Isn’t that Kid’s car?” He asks out loud as he gets closer to the store window.

Smushing himself up against it so he can get a better view and sure enough---

“Law’s in the car with him?!”

Ace’s expression is priceless, though wait! They all had arrived at the store in Sanji’s car, which he finds is no longer in the parking lot. So maybe Law didn’t have a choice But still, in Kid’s car?!

And what about him?!

Meanwhile, Law is testing the waters by touching Kid before jerking back and then repeating the process. Like a child meeting a giant animal of some kind and was curious on what they felt like or would react to them.

And it was very distracting to Kid. Annoying at first really as he’s ready to snap and ask what the hell Law’s problem was. Yet the moment he glances over to do so, the words die on his tongue, his mouth remains open…and he malfunctions.

Because Law is showing such, dare he think it again…cute expressions…

It makes Kid turn as red as his hair before he almost gives himself whiplash, as he turns to face forward. As he was not about to admit those thoughts out loud. Nor was he going to talk about how he liked Law touching him like this deep down. For it still makes him want to explode, but not in a bad way. Where he feels Law’s touch so damn strongly for some reason.

It’s always been like that…but he’s usually riled up and raring to go out of anger and to fight, to actually just feel this feeling…

As he finds that maybe he doesn’t hate Law’s guts like he originally thought…

Chapter Text

There has to be a logical reason for what is going on. Yes, because there’s no way what is happening to him is well…happening…

Ok, breathe, let’s go through this. Firstly, Law has never once feared Kid. Not during any verbal threat or even if he gets all up in his personal space. It didn't matter that he was taller or twice Law’s size. So that has to explain why he feels calm around this alpha.

But then, why isn’t he feeling the same way around Ace?

Fuck---

Ok, no, no, let’s keep going. There’s also how Law had been finding himself staring at Kid to just observe him. And even as a guy, Law can admit Kid is attractive. No suppressants can stop someone from finding another attractive, just the sexual tendencies that follow after. Ace had the audacity to tell Law that the male tended to gravitate towards ugly things, which Law quickly defended Kid and told Ace that the alpha was far from ugly.

Besides, Law tends to gravitate towards cute things. Now his taste in men, well that’s questionable for later. Right now, Law is trying to figure out what else could be happening to him and not what everything is pointing to. And this simple ‘attraction’ he has with Kid would not escalate into this so fast and so soon now that his suppressants were wearing off. Just because his omega side of him was coming out, it shouldn’t mean…this…

Why couldn’t it have been Ace? Hell, he would’ve let it be Luffy! But Kid? Eustass Kid?!

“There there, Captain,” Bepo says as he pats Law’s back in comfort.

Which only makes Law cry more because Bepo calling him captain was an inside joke within the hospital. So not only was this happening to him, he can’t even be a surgeon anymore!

“Bepo…” Law calls out in such a watery tone.

Making Bepo realize his mistake as he hurries to side hug him,

“Crap! I’m so sorry Cap---Law!”

“Bro, you’re making this worse,” Penguin winces as he sits there helplessly next to Shachi.

The three betas feeling for Law as they sat around the living room with medical books everywhere. All of them having to do with suppressants and omegas. With one of them sitting still opened in the center of the coffee table of what Law’s current fate was.

An accidental imprint…

“I don’t think Bepo could make this worse than what has already been done,” Shachi counters and Penguin gives him a look.

“You idiot!” He tries to hush his friend while smacking him with one of the books.

Obviously Shachi wasn’t reading the room here as Law was crying!

“I didn’t mean to make you cry!” Bepo says with tears of his own.

“It’s not you…it’s…” Law tries to explain before just gesturing to himself as he gets choked up.

He doesn’t want to be crying over this monstrosity. He doesn’t even want to be in such a position.

“Is there anything we can do?” Shachi at least tries to make it better.

“Did you not read what we did?” Penguin questions.

“But there has to be something. It’s an imprint, not an actual claiming bite. So it should wear off, right?”

“I mean, you’re not wrong. It would eventually wear off, but that’s also complicated,” Penguin says as he thinks about it.

Imprints are what alphas did back in the day when they were courting an omega. It was a way to claim them without the bite as they waited till the ceremonial marriage to do so as well as trigger the omega’s heat so they could bear offspring. It’s an old and traditional way that isn’t used much in today’s society. Though some alphas have done it in order to protect an omega from others. But in this case, as in many cases today, is what is called, an accidental imprinting. Where it was not intended by either party and could happen between family members or friends unfortunately. Usually, not enemies though…usually…

“Unless we get rid of Kid entirely from his life. But even then, that would do more damage to his body,” Bepo explains.

Law would have to move where he’d never see or be near Kid. But in doing so, he’d go through lots of withdrawals and his body is already going through so much. It could actually make him really sick if they tried such a thing. Or worse…

The three betas all shared the same look as yeah, that wasn’t an option.

“That means the only option he has is to stay close to Kid,” Penguin breathes out so damn quietly.

Basically sealing Law’s fate, unless he got another alpha to bite him----

All three betas wince at that thought…

“We should tell Kid---” Bepo tries but Law immediately lifts his head.

Eyes fierce even as he’s crying, “None of you are to say anything to anyone about this. Especially not him.”

Law would rather do this secretly than let that alpha know.

“But---” The three try and stop as Law was not backing down,

“I’ll figure it out. I always do.”

He’s made it this far, he can do this. He already knows that he’s definitely gotta take Marco up on his offer and work at the bar again. Now he just has to make sure it’s during Kid’s shifts. And getting close to him won’t be a problem since they bicker and banter all the time. Getting all up in each other’s faces. So there, it won’t be hard to remain close to his enemy.

It’s just going to be hard resisting and not reacting while being close to Kid. Because like it or not, his body is going to be all for this alpha. Even if his mind wants to be far away and his heart doesn’t feel anything…

Ugh, here comes more tears!

And this is how Lami finds her brother as she opens the front door…

Lami only has to look at the medical books to know it has to do with the omega side of her brother. Though, his tears were another big indicator as she’s never seen her brother cry like this. Not since their parents died…

“Onii-chan,” She calls out as the others scramble to pick up the books before she can figure out too much.

With Law already wiping at his face with his sleeve while he stands up to go to her side,

“I’m fine---”

It’s Lami’s turn to have a fierce expression, “No, stop saying that automated response. You’re not ok…and that’s ok,” Lami’s expression turns into a caring one.

As she reaches out to brush his arm gently and looking at him with concern,

“It’s ok to admit it, even to me. I’m old enough now, you don’t have to be my parent anymore.”

“I’m still your older brother,” Law comments, but he doesn’t try to hide how he feels.

As Lami can see how tired her brother was. Where he didn’t get any sleep last night since finding out the news. And all of this chaos has only added to the physical and mental tiredness.

“Come,” She insists softly as she drops her bookbag off at the door before taking his hand.

“Where are we going?”

“To get a snack and take a nap. It’s what you’d do with me anytime I had a bad day,” She replies and the three betas have to resist cooing.

Law gives them a look over his shoulder and all three stand up straight, before scrambling to take all the books with them to the male’s bedroom. Thus, making their exit as they wave silently while Lami takes out some cookies and milk from the kitchen…

And Law admits it was nice. Sharing the cookies and milk with his little sister as she talked about her day. Hearing her laugh that it made him smile despite his life falling apart. As it reminded him of why he did all of it in the first place.

And as he watched her sleep curled up next to him, Law knows he has to find a way to make it work. As he doesn’t want to worry her, as well as wanting to still be around to help her through life.

Even if that meant dealing with Eustass Kid…

Speaking of…

Law can’t help but think back to him. Of their moment back in his car. Where Law got lungfuls of Kid’s scent and felt all warm and tingly inside. Like if he sat back in the passenger seat, he probably could’ve fallen asleep. But he was too distracted by the alpha being right there, so close. And touching him…it was almost addicting. It felt way better than how shitty he’s been feeling lately. It was like he was some super natural creature sucking his energy away as he felt so energized from a mere touch.

And Law refuses to acknowledge the pleased sound he let out during all of that…

Nor was he going to talk about holding Kid’s intense gaze in utter silence and finding comfort in that too…

Or how he followed Kid willingly back to their apartment doors. Kid saying something about him needing some shit and in no way walking him back to his apartment. And the fact that Law had to stop himself from going inside Kid’s apartment as he internally panicked, flicked Kid off, before slamming his apartment door right in the alpha’s face.

He can still hear those beloved curse words…

Where he had slid down the back of the door, his legs like jello as he tried to collect himself. And that’s when he ended up calling Bepo to bring him the medical books.

Fuck…an imprint…it must’ve happened this morning when Kid grabbed him by the back of his neck. How easily his hand fit around and he only gave one squeeze---

Law shivers as he recalls it before everything went black. As he can’t blame anyone but himself. He knew his omega was pushing past the surface despite the suppressants. But he didn’t want to accept it yet. And now he’s in this mess because he didn’t put on the damn collar…

He’s not stepping foot outside this apartment until he does. Except…

He’s craving the alpha’s scent right now. As sleep wants to take him, but he can’t relax his body enough for it to take. Not unless he has something of Kid’s.

And he does. Though he’s not ready to admit that part out loud as he instinctively took it as Kid nonchalantly had it thrown in the passenger seat. And it was so easy to take too as Kid had been too distracted bickering with him to notice Law had it bunched up and hidden behind his back.

Where it’s now thrown somewhere in his bedroom after Law had taken lungfuls of it to regain energy to get up off the floor. Much less, call Bepo, as yes, that’s when his mind decided it would not push away what he was realizing any longer.

He needs to resist…to train his body that he doesn’t need it…

It’s just a damn scent…

But it’s like an itch you can’t scratch forming underneath the skin and growing. The urge like some drug addict as he can’t stop thinking about it. As it’s making him antsy from withdrawals already---

Law sneaks out of bed as he’s determined to make it quick. He’ll simply go into his bedroom, take one big lungful and then come back to Lami and take that nap. Yes, it’ll be perfect!

But the moment Law opens his bedroom door, his eyes dilate from picking up on the strong alpha scent. Where he could pinpoint its location exactly and hands become needy. Tattoo fingers clinging to the material of the hoodie as Law picks it up from his bed. Where he tells himself he’s going to breathe in his scent…

He puts the damn thing on instead. The urge to practically roll in it taking over, as he’s engulfed in the giant hoodie. Wrapping his arms around himself and fuck, he’s calming down instantly. Like some teenage girl wearing her crush’s hoodie!

He should feel ashamed and embarrassed but he feels nothing but warmth and soothing sensations. Where he’s feeling sleepy and his eyes want to close. Shit, if he doesn’t make it back to Lami, he’ll fall asleep standing up. So with a tired mind and relaxed, sleepy state, Law walks back through the apartment to the other side to get to his sister’s room. Not even noticing Ace taking in what he was seeing. His words dying with his mouth wide open to say something originally. Instead, he scrambles to take out his phone, snapping another photo before Law disappears down the hallway…

And that’s how Kid ends up back at work, way later than his break time allowed. Where Nami shoves the phone into Kid’s face as her painted nail taps the screen,

“Isn’t this your famous hoodie? Is this where you disappeared on your break? Hmm?” She accuses him.

But Kid is too busy malfunctioning as he can’t look away from the photo. As everything else fades out but the cuteness of Law swallowed up in his hoodie that not even Killer was allowed to wear…

Fuck, why was his heart beating so fast?!

Chapter Text

Law finds himself waking up to commotion in the apartment. His face contorting in sleepy frustration because why is it suddenly so loud? He’s all nice and warm and this scent was so pleasing. That if the commotion wasn’t getting louder, Law could easily fall back asleep surrounded by this scent.

But as his eyes tried to close once more, he picks up on Luffy’s voice,

“I want to see Torao!”

Oh fuck, it’s Luffy…

Law lets out a light groan as he’s waking back up. Rolling over to his back as he sees he was still in his sister’s room.

“Shush! He’s finally had some decent sleep,” Lami’s voice can be heard next.

As Law can pick up that they’re in the hallway from most likely stopping Luffy from getting to her room.

“Plus it’s early in the morning, you should come back later,” Ace insists.

Fuck, it must be, because Lami hasn’t left for school yet---wait! He slept the whole day away?!

Law sits up slowly as he looks over to the cutesy alarm clock his sister had on her bedside table.

Damn…he really did…

A frown appears on his face as the big red neon sign that he’s currently wearing was to blame. But it’s early in the morning and Law didn’t want to think about that right now.

Or the fact that he still hasn’t taken it off as he gets up out of bed to head to the door…

“But I’ve been worried! Is he sick? Is he ok? You told me yesterday to wait until today and I have. I even waited on the living room couch for a few hours before trying to find him.”

“You snuck in here hours ago?!” Lami lets out in shock.

“Is it really sneaking in if you have a spare key?” Luffy questions back with a playful shrug.

“So that’s where my key went! And here I thought I actually lost it at work,” Ace replies dramatically.

“Oh no, you did,” Luffy tells him as he lets out a big grin.

Lami face palms as this was such a Luffy thing to do. But what is not a Luffy thing to do, is for him to sit still for more than five minutes. You’re lucky if you get three---

“What were you actually doing while everyone else slept?” She questions as Law cracks open the door quietly.

No one taking notice as Luffy’s loud voice covered up the sound,

“I went straight to Traffy’s room! But he wasn’t there,” Luffy goes from excited to sad.

As he really wanted to see Law and check up on him.

“So then I tried to go to Ace’s room but it was locked,” He sighs dramatically.

“Because of you!” Ace tells him.

For the last time Ace made that mistake, Luffy had found those sex toys when he turned away for five seconds. FIVE SECONDS! And it was to go use the bathroom for crying out loud! It was like his little brother was a toddler and threw a tantrum when Ace snatched the toys away before Luffy could do anything. And instead of explaining what they were, he simply told his brother that he couldn’t play with his toys as they were special like a collection.

Luffy is still bummed about it to this day,

“But they look so cool and interesting to play with!” He is adamant on getting a hold of them again one day.

“I might’ve also looked to see if Torao had some I could play with, but he only had boring medical books.”

Which Law leaves out on purpose for he’s learned that if you bore Luffy straight away, his interest in snooping goes down to zero. Thus, Luffy has yet to know about his comic book collection, action figurines and yes, coin collection.

A very expensive coin collection that no one will ever find out how he retrieved such things…

“So you not only snuck in, you were snooping around when you weren't supposed to!” Lami gets onto him.

Luffy pouts, “That’s because I was looking for Traffy!” He states like it’s a valid reason.

And since Lami keeps her door locked for privacy and because her brother needed sleep. So thankfully she did and that Luffy did remain quiet to not wake him.

Until now…

As Luffy especially had to mention,

“Oh! I also found something else in Torao’s room,” Luffy says as he remembers and points a finger to the sky.

Law’s eyebrows furrow while he listens in, his mind instantly trying to figure out what Luffy could’ve possibly found worth mentioning. As it gets Luffy heated because his expression changes to him being upset,

“I think I know why he’s getting sick because I found DRUGS in his room! Ones with many warning labels and cautions on it! They were hidden under his mattress in suspicious pill bottles!”

Ace and Lami look at Luffy with slowly blinking expressions because yes, those were Law’s suppressant bottles that they knew about already.

But in Luffy’s defense, he didn’t as he also didn’t know that Law was an omega using them to have a persona as an alpha. So things weren't clicking for the two until Luffy growls out and says,

“Drugs are bad! We all know that! If he’s sick and not needing cold medicine, then this has to be the reason he’s sick…” Luffy starts to get all smug as he crosses his arms over his chest and puffs it out like the strong alpha he is,

“So I did the right thing a loved one should do and I flushed the rest down the toilet.”

Standing there in triumph like he just saved his friend’s life…

That is until he opens his eyes and finds the horror on both their faces like he just did something stupid. Utterly stupid and probably made things worse.

“I misunderstood something again, didn’t I?” He questions as his tone dropped and his expression matched it.

“You stupid idiot!” Law’s voice can be heard next.

As Law comes right out of the bedroom with fierce eyes and an expression ready to kill.

Luffy starts waving his hands about as he looks scared,

“No! Traffy! I didn’t mean it like that! I was only trying to help!”

But Law keeps advancing on him, Ace not even stepping in to save his brother as he’s still in shock. With Lami sighing as she face palms again while trying to think about what would happen now---

Fuck it! He’s not getting any sleep apparently. And he wasn’t about to continue laying there while looking at his ceiling fan going around for the billionth time. Nope, he’s going to get up and do something productive.

Like not thinking about Trafalgar Law!

Throwing the covers off of him, he gets out of bed and heads straight for his closet to throw some clothes on. Something light as he can either go for a jog or head to the gym area that the apartment complex had. Yeah, that way he can burn off this energy and clear his mind.

And then he’ll be able to get a nap in at least…hopefully…

Exiting his room, he comes out into the living room area and to no surprise, he finds Killer already up.

“Yo!” Killer greets from his perched up spot on the couch.

With the T.V. on about the news going on in town on low volume while Killer is currently combing through his long hair.

Kid greets back with a nod and grumpy hmph, but it’s a normal greeting from the alpha. Though it’s not normal for the alpha to be up this early,

“Couldn’t sleep?” Killer asks out of concern and Kid sighs.

Yep, he already knows who it’s about. Especially as Kid gets this look on his face. But before the alpha actually says his name, he stops himself.

“Nope, not today. He’s not going to fuck with my head,” He lets out as he even shakes his head and grabs his house key.

Checking to make sure he had his phone and to grab his shoes to put on,

“I’m going to go to the gym,” He tells his best friend and Killer perks up,

“Do you want company?” Killer offers.

“Not this time, I need to clear my head,” He replies.

As he didn’t want to have Killer tag along just to be stuck in his head and not be able to converse properly. It wouldn’t be fair to his best friend so it was better to go alone. And Killer understood that,

“Just text me when you’re done and I’ll whip something up for us before work.”

“Yeah…thanks…” Kid stops himself from turning the door knob so Killer would know he appreciates it.

Before he’s out the front door and ready to tackle the day---

Just for the door to open beside his and a loud Luffy is heard as he’s being thrown out like some wild animal. All with the door closing harshly behind Luffy, the alpha landing on his butt with a hurt expression.

“But Traffy!!! I said I’m sorry!” Luffy exclaims as he’s already hopping back up to bang on the door.

Just for both of them to hear the lock clicking and Luffy pouts. All before he remembers the spare key---

Only to find he didn’t have it on him.

“Awe, man, did I leave it inside?” Luffy tries to think about it.

Because he had been wandering around in the dark of their apartment for most of the morning so he wouldn’t alert anyone.

Luffy is busy checking himself as he turns around and takes notice of Kid,

“Ah! Jaggy! It’s you!” Luffy perks up in excitement.

Kid does not look pleased seeing Luffy. In fact, he looks pissed. But that’s his normal expression around Luffy so the young alpha thinks nothing of it.

“Did you come to check on Traffy too?” Luffy asks.

And yep, there goes a vein popping at the mention of that person---

“Why the fuck would I care about him?”

Luffy gives up on locating the house key, “You two are always together or in the same vicinity when I come by.”

“That’s because we’re next door neighbors, dumbass,” Kid throws back at him.

And since they all share an apartment complex, of course they’re gonna be seen around each other. Not to mention, a lot of the people who live here, hang out here and outside the apartment complex. So yes, they’re gonna be nearby.

But that doesn’t mean it's by choice or planned that way!

“Yeah, but you two seem close as you’re both very passionate about each other,” Luffy puts it into the air like it’s obvious.

“Do you want me to beat your ass?! I don’t give a shit about him!” Kid is raring to go at Luffy’s accusation.

Yet if Kid saw what Luffy saw every day between Sanji and Zoro, then he would see why he would make such a statement.

Luffy shakes his head as he shows a smile, “We can play next time, Jaggy. I have to get back to my roommates before they realize I’m gone. Plus, Sanji is going to be cooking pancakes this morning! And I can’t miss his famous bacon maple pancakes!

With food in mind, Luffy goes to leave. But then suddenly stops as he looks over his shoulder to say,

“By the way, he’s still wearing your hoodie. I thought you made it clear that no one could wear that hoodie, not even your best friend. So we all know that you care about him, you don’t have to hide it, you know.”

Kid is speechless as Luffy doesn’t wait for a reply and merely walks away. And Kid…well…

He goes right back into his apartment with Killer perking up,

“Back so soon?” Before he lifts his head to take in Kid red in the face.

Hands coming up to hide his flustered expression as the alpha was no doubt thinking about Law in his hoodie. And the fact that Law was still wearing it!

“Are you ok?” Killer is becoming really concerned as he gets up from the couch to go to Kid’s side.

But Kid beats him to it as he walks forward, still in shock, as his starts and stops walking. Before he’s pacing as his hands move to touch his face, to run through his messy hair. His eyes are intense and full of emotion like always. Yet they were ablaze mighty strong at this moment as he blurts out, hands trembling slightly,

“I think I’m losing my mind, Kil.”

“Over going to the gym?” Killer is confused and Kid reacts passionately,

“No! Not that. I---fuck, even now I’m thinking about him in my hoodie. The fucking famous hoodie that my Dad gave me back when we were teenagers.”

Killer is in awe, “Hold on, Law is in THAT hoodie?”

For Killer knew about the photo floating around at work as Nami had it on her phone. But when she showed Kid, him and none of the other line cooks could get in close to see it. As Kid snatched the phone away and after Nami and him struggled over her phone, the alpha deleted it. But Killer never knew it was Kid’s special hoodie!

The one Kid’s father gave to him for his birthday before he died unexpectedly…

How is Law still alive? Much less, still in possession of that hoodie? For Kid has beat people up over that hoodie. He won’t let just anyone touch it either. And his mother is the only one allowed to wash it.

“I know…that’s why I’m saying, there’s something wrong with me,” Kid lets out dramatically as he feels like gripping the sides of his head.

Because what is happening to him?!

As he plops down onto the couch, leaning forward with one elbow on his knee, his hand running through his hair again,

“I should be demanding it back! I should’ve left right then and there when Nami showed me! But instead, the first thought that came to my mind was that he was---”

Oh fuck, Kid almost admitted it out loud. The look of shock on his face as Killer tilts his head to the side curiously,

“He was what?” He encourages,

“N-nothing,” He stutters out as he looks away from his best friend.

Where he leans back and closes his eyes and there he goes again thinking about Law in his hoodie. As Killer remains calm and patient until he knows Kid will express himself. He knows he will, that alpha has always been passionately blunt and not afraid to tell you what’s on his mind. Or how he feels, even if his feelings might be confusing himself at the time. All jumbled up as there’s a lot of them and probably some he didn’t think he could be feeling about a certain someone. But Killer has a feeling that Kid is starting to see it and is now trying to understand it. That he hasn’t realized he had opened his heart back up subconsciously and now someone was filling up that damaged void Victoria had caused years back.

As you can see it written all over Kid’s face as his eyes open and he’s becoming flustered all over again,

“You like him wearing your hoodie---” Killer helps his best friend out.

“Yes!” Kid doesn’t deny it.

Not from Killer, as he’s been through hell and back with him. And vice versa.

“There’s nothing wrong with that,” Killer tells him as he comes to sit down next to Kid.

“There should! He’s my enemy. I should be hating him, not finding him cute!”

Fuck, he blurted it out!

There Kid goes getting as red as his hair as he ducks his head shyly.

Oh, this was too cute! Though Killer will never dare say it out loud.

“It’s a shame you deleted that photo,” Killer tries to continue the conversation.

“I have it…” Kid says in the tiniest voice possible.

As Killer had to lean super close in order to pick up on it, but he heard him. Sitting back in awe as he looks at the top of Kid’s head since the alpha still had his head down,

“You sent that photo to your phone before deleting it?”

Kid nods slowly before lifting his head to look at Killer in his embarrassment,

“I literally couldn’t sleep last night as that's all I could think about. You don’t know how hard it is to not pull up the photo right now…Killer, tell me,” Kid reaches out as he grabs a hold of Killer’s shoulders, “What is happening to me?”

Killer goes to answer but Kid keeps going,

“Even yesterday when I went to beat everyone’s asses at the sex shop, it all went out the window the moment I saw that alpha trying to hurt Trafalgar. It made my alpha instincts go haywire and then Trafalgar had the audacity to try and walk away! Like I wasn’t already going crazy! So of course I had to follow! And then he kept touching me and I didn’t dislike it. Nor did I dislike touching him back. Which he gave me such a look that I couldn’t just leave him there alone, so I took him back to my car. I even helped him in first! And seat belted him like he was my mother! Did I mention the look he gave me when I beat up that alpha? He looked at me like some hero or something. I don’t know, but it made me feel things! Lots of emotions! And he wasn’t even wearing my hoodie yet in the car. He was simply touching me over and over again, nothing even sexual. Yet I found him fucking cute with all these expressions he was making. As we weren't bickering or arguing. He wasn’t riling me up with his sass. He was just…fuck, Killer, he’s too cute! I can’t unsee it! And it’s driving me up the god damn wall!”

Killer has to cup Kid’s face to get him to still for a second. As Kid was starting to shake him as he grew more passionate. And by the time he was squeezing his shoulders with a bit too much strength, yeah, it was time to get the alpha to breathe for a moment.

And what better way then to say,

“You don’t hate Law.”

It wasn’t flat out saying that Kid was crushing on Law. Or that he liked him. No, Killer did the calm and easy approach. With letting Kid realize that he didn’t hate Law. That he didn’t see him so much as an enemy now. So that way, maybe it can speed up the process of what is actually going on here.

Because clearly Kid was past that point with his heart, but his mind has yet to catch up…

“I…I…”

‘I don’t hate him…’

It’s like the moment he says it, that part clicks. As it feels right, as it transitions naturally.

“So I’m not losing my mind…”

“No,” Killer clarifies as Kid lets go and lets the words settle in.

“So it’s ok to find him cute.”

“He does have his moments,” Killer agrees before he sees how fast Kid gives him a jealous look.

“Hey now, you may have been enemies with him, but we’re good acquaintances. It’s nothing serious, merely friendly,” He’s quick to ease Kid.

And the alpha does relax at knowing Killer wasn’t interested in Law. Which you would think Kid would question himself on why it bothered him and made him jealous in the first place. But the alpha went right back to the moment at hand.

That Law is still wearing his hoodie…

“I’ll demand my hoodie back later. For now, I’m going to go to the gym…” He says more to himself than Killer.

But he does look at his best friend, “Can you come with me to distract my mind?”

Killer reaches out to give a comforting squeeze to his bicep, “Sure thing, let me put on different clothes first.”

Kid nods as Killer goes to do just that. His best friend not even making it halfway before he takes notice of Kid pulling out his phone. As Kid caves, mumbling to himself that one look shouldn’t hurt. And sure enough, pulls up the photo of Law in his damn hoodie.

Oh Kid has got it bad and he really doesn’t know it…

It’s a few minutes later and Kid and Killer exit the apartment to go to the gym. With Killer locking the door while Kid can’t help but glance over towards Law’s closed door. Thinking if he knocked, would Law come to the door still wearing his hoodie?

And why did he hope for that?!

Kid tries to shake these thoughts from his mind, though in doing so, something shines in the light. Grabbing his attention as he looks down to find a house key across the hallway. The same key that Luffy was looking for as it must’ve fallen out when Law threw him out earlier.

“Ready?” Killer asks as he finishes locking the door and turns to find Kid standing back up.

“Hmm? Yeah, sorry, thought I noticed a shit stain, but it’s nothing,” Kid brushes it off.

Turning to face Killer after sliding the key into his pocket for safe keeping…

You know, to have a reason to talk to Law later…

So he can keep ruining his life of course…just like Law is doing to him…

But Kid has no idea that he’s already ruining Law’s life. As the male is currently fretting what he’s supposed to do with no suppressants left now. And how he’s locked himself in the bathroom just so he can wrap arms around himself and breathe in more of Kid’s scent…

His excuse he’s telling himself is that it’s helping him focus and remain calm…

And that’s another big indicator of the accidental imprint that’s settled in…

Chapter Text

There’s a knock on the bathroom door as Law stares at himself in the mirror.

“Yeah?” Law calls out with a defeated undertone.

As he has to accept his fate now faster than he had wanted…

“I can be this close, right?” Ace’s voice came through as he didn’t want to make things worse.

Law notices how he’s clinging to the sleeves of the giant hoodie. How he did it subconsciously the moment Ace had approached.

How was he going to get through?

“Just don’t open the door,” Law tells him as his reflection shows uncertainty in the mirror.

With Law lost and not knowing how to proceed.

“I won’t, though I hope one day I’ll be able to get back close to you again,” Ace’s tone sounds hopeful as he’s usually a cheerful guy.

“In due time,” Law says to ease Ace’s worry.

Though how long that time will take is uncertain…

“Yeah…um…well since my little brother pulled that stunt…I guess it was smart having Sanji help get the stuff you needed…” Ace is trying to make the situation better.

To make things lighter as he knows this wasn’t easy by no means for Law. And with him having to go cold turkey now…there’s no telling what’s going to happen to Law’s body.

Hearing those words, Law is reminded of his fate. Of how he’ll need to wear a collar like some pet in order to protect himself. How his natural scent was going to come out to alert everyone nearby of what he was. Soon everyone was going to look at him and treat him differently…

“Ace-ya…” Law calls out as his voice cracks with emotion.

As Law finds himself wrapping arms around his middle to try and comfort himself for what’s coming.

“It’s ok to be scared,” Ace doesn’t hesitate to say, “It’s ok to be lost. It’s ok to be angry. It’s the world’s fault for being so cruel, not yours. Just know you’re not alone. I’m here and I’ll fight anyone who tries to harm you.”

Law’s expression is so raw as you see it through the mirror while the male looks to the closed door,

“But what if you…you…” Law can’t finish his sentence as the mere thought makes his throat close up.

Because what if Ace acts differently around him? Law wouldn’t blame him since he is a doctor and knows about biology. He knows these things happen naturally. But it would hurt as Ace is his best friend and roommate. He didn’t want to lose him.

“Nonsense,” Ace brushes it off, “Nothing is going to change between us. Law, you literally took me in with open arms when I was at my lowest. Even when you found out the truth about who I was and who my father was, you remained by my side. Just because you’re letting your omega side of you out, it’s not going to make me act any differently around you. Besides, everyone knows I’m a bottom. And you know how madly in love I am with Marco so I don’t think we have anything to worry about.”

Ace even lets out an embarrassed little laugh at the end as he admits it out loud about Marco. The only other time he admitted it was when he got so drunk after hearing about Marco going on a date a few months back. Yeah, that heartbreak still hurts, even though he knew he never had a chance. For one, Marco is straight. Secondly, he’s his Boss. And thirdly, he’s been like a mentor since they were brought in by Pops as teenagers. He shouldn’t be feeling like this…

Ace hasn’t realized he’s been staring at the closed door with such a raw expression. As his silence took over while he got lost in his thoughts and feelings. But suddenly, the door opens and Law stands there even as he tries to fight his body’s reaction to step back---

As you can tell how he wants to comfort his best friend right back.

“Oh, Law,” Ace’s tone goes soft as the male frowns.

“I want to hug you but my body won’t let me,” Law says and Ace’s smile comes forth,

“That just means the moment we can touch again, we’ll have to hug for ten minutes straight.”

Law raises an eyebrow at that one, “I don’t know about that now---”

Ace begins to whine and Law’s eyes go playful, “I’m only teasing.” Before his expression goes soft, “I would like that.”

Ace is back to smiling as he shoves his hands into his pockets so he doesn’t accidentally reach out to touch Law.

“Should I call out of work and we can get take out and watch your favorite serial killer documentary?” Ace offers.

Law only has to think about it for a few seconds before he’s nodding. Looking so damn adorable in that oversized hoodie. Speaking of---

“Are you going to tell me how you ended up with Kid’s famous hoodie?”

Law shakes his head as he already looks ready to bolt. In fact, the perfect chance to afford this conversation appears when Lami peeks her head into the hallway,

“I’m heading to school now, Onii-chan!”

As yes, she’d been eavesdropping to make sure her brother would be ok and in good hands before she’d leave for school.

Law perks up as he’s already moving past Ace, the alpha quick to step back, thus giving the male the chance to break free. And Ace doesn’t follow as he’s stopped by a strange smell. Not one that was bad, but one you wouldn’t expect to pick up on near a bathroom. After a moment though, he shrugs it off and goes into his room to grab his phone so he can call out of work.

“Let me walk you to the school bus,” Law insists as Lami is already trying to book it,

“But Onii-chan! You need to be resting! I can handle myself!” She sasses.

“I don’t care, I’m your big brother and I’m going to do it!” Law sasses right back.

As he meets her at the door as she opens it. Law taking over as he shuts the door behind him. Where he doesn’t stop for his house key because Ace is home so he can just let him back in.

“The bus stop is literally right there,” She points at it as they begin the walk downstairs.

The bus stop sign showing clear as day through the stairwell. Yet Law still insists on having her bookbag slung over his shoulder as he walks her down.

“Exactly, so I can walk you to the bus stop,” Law tells her.

Lami huffs, but she lets it go as she knows her brother loves her. She just worries about him as he’s always taking care of her and others. So he needs to learn how to take care of himself.

“You better go right back and get more rest. If I hear from Ace that you’re pushing yourself again, I’ll get Bepo to cuddle with you, so I know you won’t move for hours!” She threatens passionately.

And it has Law smiling as he likes this normalness between them. As he still feels like her big brother despite everything that’s beginning to change. So as he hands over her bag, he gently pokes her forehead,

“You can’t order me around, kiddo. I do what I want,” He lets out with a cocky smirk.

Lami puffs out her cheeks and it gets Law to laugh at her cuteness. Making Lami stop as it’s been a minute since her brother has laughed like this. Finding herself growing emotional so she moves to hug him. Law being caught off guard before his expression is softening and he pats the top of her head,

“I’m going to be ok.”

“You better,” She says through sniffling, “For I’ll always need my big brother.”

Fuck, now Law is going to get emotional---

Yep, it’s time to part as oh look, there’s the school bus now. As Law completely ignores the other students watching their interaction,

“Have fun at school and come home with good grades,” Law tells her as she steps back and wipes at her face,

“I’ll make you, Mom and Dad proud!” She exclaimed as others were getting onto the bus.

Law smirking once more, “I know you will.”

Lami beams before she turns to get onto the bus next. Law watching to make sure she got on with no problems. Even giving a small nod as Lami waves through the window.

The bus soon leaves and Law is left alone in the parking lot. Ready to turn around---

When a small breeze blows through and he picks up on that fucking scent.

It instantly has Law snapping his head in that direction, his eyes taking in Kid and Killer walking back from the gym area. Where Kid seems upset about something as his attention is on Killer. Most likely venting about it to his best friend.

And Law knows he should hurry along and sneak back into his apartment before Kid even notices him…

But the omega side of Law…well…he wants to get closer to this alpha…

Resist…must…

“Next time, that guy will learn to not talk shit and think he owns the fucking gym,” Kid continues to vent.

As what was a good way to get out his built up energy, turned into a physical altercation. All because one alpha thought he owned the gym and that no one else could use it when he was there. Yeah, fuck that. Kid doesn’t follow anyone’s rules. He does his own thing.

At least he got out some pent up frustration, but his adrenaline is still going. Everything is still fresh as it happened not even five minutes ago. So he’s still revved up and normally his aura would be a clear indicator for anyone nearby to steer clear. Or his expression that says he’ll fuck shit up, don’t piss him off. And yet, as Kid goes to face forward as they near their apartment building, he finds someone coming out of nowhere---

And hugging him…

It has Kid stilling right away, arms going up because what the actual fuck---

Just for Kid and Killer to stare in shock as Trafalgar Law was the one hugging him.

And not just normal hugging, no, Law was rubbing his cheek against Kid’s one pec. As if scent marking or trying to get Kid’s scent on him.

“Is he purring?” Killer asks out loud.

But it appears neither hear him. Because Law is too busy in paradise right now and Kid is too busy malfunctioning. Just look at Law being too fucking cute!

And just when Kid thinks it can’t get any better, I mean worse---

“Trafalgar…” Kid calls out his name and Law looks up at him.

Answering him instinctively as well as flashing his eyes at him---

There it was again! Those eyes weren't of an alpha! Those were---

But it seems Law realizes what he was doing as he looks like a scared cat about to run. As a beautiful flush goes over his face and Kid swears there’s this scent too. A scent that he keeps breathing in that he finds he really likes. And it’s confusing because he can’t pick up much of Law’s scent right now---

“He’s about to run,” Killer warns and sure enough, Law takes off.

Heading right for the stairs as Killer watches in awe as Kid chases off after him,

“You get back here right now, Trafalgar!” Kid demands.

Because it can’t be…there’s no way…you’re telling him…

Law is not stopping as he books it up the stairwell. Finding it shaking a moment later as Kid is hot on his tail.

Oh fuck, oh fuck---

Law sees his apartment door in sight, freedom almost there---

Just to try the door knob and remember that he locked it and didn’t bring the key.

Oh he’s done for!

“Ace-ya! Open the door!!!” Law shouts as he bangs on the door.

His eyes going wide in fear as he can sense Kid coming to the top step. His body already reacting with a shiver down his spine at the heated and intense gaze felt against his back.

“Trafalgar…” Kid’s tone is deep.

Law bites his lip to refrain himself from making noise before he gives up on the door. Turning around to face the alpha as fuck that, he’s not going down that easy!

Yet Kid is right there. One hand above his head on the door, the other moving in close while the alpha was mere inches from him.

Fuck, Law’s heart was beating so fast, his legs turning into jello. Especially as Kid is right there by his scent gland---

“You shouldn’t be out here without your collar on, it’s dangerous,” Kid whispers against his ear.

What?

Law stills as suddenly he hears the door unlocking and Kid stepping back after he turns the knob. Opening the door for Law slightly so he can go in.

As Kid’s eyes flash of his alpha and yet he’s not making any moves to harm him or claim---

“Eustass-ya…” Law goes to say something, but then he feels a tug on his arm.

With a growl from Kid but it’s cut off as the door closes and Ace is turning him around to face him…

Where outside, Killer had moved in to pull Kid away at the same time…

Both Ace and Killer made sure the other was ok as they had no idea what just happened…

Chapter Text

“Punch me,” Kid demands as he’s literally struggling with Killer.

As his eyes flash back and forth of his alpha, with everything screaming at him to bust down that door to get to Law. To get him away from Ace---

“I said punch me!” Kid shouts.

And you can tell Killer doesn’t want to hurt his best friend but this was a dire situation---

So he punches him. Kid’s back hitting against the wall as the alpha focuses on the pain to help ground him. Leaving both breathing heavy from the struggle, before Killer is hurrying to open their door. As he doesn’t want to waste anymore time so he can get Kid further away from what just happened.

But what even happened exactly?

“Come on, I got you,” Killer says as he helps to pull Kid forward.

As he can see his best friend struggling with his alpha instincts to remain in control. Luckily, Killer manages to get Kid inside, making sure to lock the door and stand in front of it as Kid leans against the wall,

“Mom…call my Mom…” Kid urges and Killer curses as he’s rushing to find the alpha’s phone…

“Law, are you ok?!” Ace is highly concerned as the male struggles against him.

Where he’s not sure what went down, but Law is clearly shaken up. He had called out for him to open the door and then he found Kid so close to Law.

Literally right near his scent gland!

“Hey, please, let me see. I need to see!” Ace insists before they could hear Kid shouting,

“I said punch me!”

Oh shit, Kid was still outside the door---

Ace stills as he hears a hurt sound come from Law. The alpha turning away from the closed door to take in Law’s raw expression. Of his eyes flashing of his omega.

Fuck…

“Law---”

“He didn’t hurt me,” Law says even as his fingers tremble along Ace’s arms.

“But you’re---”

“He was protecting me…” Law says as he’s still in awe.

Where Kid could’ve easily had bitten him right then and there. Where Kid could’ve done so much shit. Hell, he could’ve been his usual prick self and had been disgusted or thrown hate towards him.

And yet…he was kind…he was caring…he wanted to help…

Ace tries to comfort him with a hug instinctively, but Law jerks. The alpha instantly lets go and Law’s back hits the wall before he slides down. His legs like jello as Law curls into himself. His body giving small jerks of aftershocks as Ace doesn’t know what to do,

“Shit…shit…what do I do?!” Ace is panicking as Law is going in and out of focus.

Should he call someone? But who? Marco? But he’s another alpha and clearly that isn’t a good thing right now! Uh…um…Sanji! He can call Sanji as maybe he’ll know what’s going on.

Dammit! But what if Kid did bite him or something?!

He’ll never forgive himself as Law had called out for him. As it’ll be all his fault because he let Law leave the home without his collar. When that scent he picked up on before was his omega scent coming out. Where it’s so strong right now. And Ace had been so stupid to brush it off and get distracted by his conversation with Marco on the phone…

Ok, breathe…breathe…he needs to focus and get Law help. Yet the moment he goes to call Sanji, there’s a knock at the front door.

“Ace, let me talk to Law.”

It’s Killer!

Ace hesitates because he doesn’t know if that’s a good idea. But Killer is talking once more,

“I have Kid’s mother on the phone. She’s like him. She can help.”

Oh thank fuck!

Ace doesn’t hesitate now as he hurries to open the front door…

“Please answer…” Killer lets out as he dials for Kid’s mother.

As he lifts his head to check on Kid. Seeing him clenching his hands into fists so tightly that there’s blood, as he’s digging his nails into the palm of his hands.

“Kid---”

“Don’t worry about me. Her…need her…” Kid tries to get out and Killer looks pained as he feels helpless.

Like the sound of the ringing felt so slow and taking too long. When in reality, it was merely seconds---

“Hey honey,” Kid’s mother’s voice comes through.

“Mom…” Kid calls out as Killer puts the call on speaker so they can hear her better.

And right away, his mother picks up on something being off with her son.

“Kid, what’s wrong?”

Kid’s eyes flash again of his alpha as he strains to remain in control,

“Omega…Trafalgar…no collar…” Kid growls near the end, as merely saying his name has him wanting to go to him right now.

With Killer registering what had happened now and what was still happening.

Oh fuck---

Killer thankfully steps in, “We just found out that Law is actually an omega and not an alpha.”

Even Kid’s mother curses on her end before she’s talking again,

“Ok, tell me you didn’t just bite---”

“No! Help…vulnerable…he lives with…another alpha…”

Ah! No wonder Kid wanted to get into Law’s apartment! It wasn’t to hurt Law, but to protect him from Ace!

But wait…he’s the one who opened the door to let Law inside---

“Killer, we need to go check on Law right now!” She exclaims.

Yet Killer is torn as his best friend was struggling---

“Go…” Kid urges as he meets Killer’s gaze.

Even as Kid struggles with his alpha, he wants to make sure Law was ok.

“Ok,” Killer says as he takes off.

Knowing valuable time was already wasted but he hopes nothing bad happened. That even if Ace has the urge, that he’d be in Kid’s situation and fight it for as long as he could.

So he wastes no time in knocking on the door…

Killer’s hunch was right, but it was even better than he thought. For Ace didn’t react at all to Law even though his scent was out, as Killer could pick up on it.

“Is he ok?” She asks in worry as momma mode is on.

“He’s shaken up quite a bit,” Killer admits as he gets closer.

“I was trying to see if Kid bit him or anything, but I can’t get close enough to look,” Ace mentions.

“Keep the other alpha away,” She warns and Ace actually takes several steps back.

And right away, the two notice Law start to still.

“Oh, it was you,” Killer says in observation as Ace frowns,

“Cause I’m an alpha.”

“In such a situation, he might feel threatened by another alpha presence but not actually you as a person,” Kid’s mom explains.

Killer slowly gets close enough as he sets the phone down in front of Law,

“It’s me, Law. I’m just going to check for something, ok?” Killer voices in a gentle tone.

As he reaches out to touch Law’s hands first. As he feels Law’s fingers twitch before he’s registering who it is,

“Killer-ya…” Law says in a quiet tone and the two breathe out in relief,

“Yes, I’m here to help,” He reassures and Law lifts his head.

His eyes of his omega, “You smell like him.”

“Of Kid?” Killer keeps him talking as this makes things easier to check on Law.

Law nods slowly, his eyes on Killer’s clothing, “Eustass-ya…didn’t hurt me…kept me safe…” He says.

Where you can tell that Law is still out of it, but he wanted to make it clear that Kid did nothing wrong.

And sure enough, Killer is close enough to see that there’s no bite or marks of any kind on Law’s neck.

“He’s good,” Killer tells them and Ace collapses onto the couch in relief while Kid’s mother speaks,

“That’s my boy. I knew I raised him right.”

“No offense, Ma’am, but from my point of view, things didn’t look pretty at the moment,” Ace says.

But he’s so glad nothing happened. Yet, it’s also weird that nothing happened because Kid and Law were enemies. So it was quite the shocker to Ace that he wouldn’t do anything to Law. Then again, Law did end up in Kid’s car yesterday. But Law was also passed out in Kid’s apartment prior to that and the two of them were fighting, actually fighting too! Yet, Law has Kid’s hoodie and is still wearing said hoodie.

So were they still enemies? Frienemies?

“A lot happened so fast to be able to tell what was going on. We didn’t even know he was an omega,” Killer agrees.

Ace remains on the couch as he watches his best friend clinging to Killer’s arms to ground himself,

“I just found out recently myself. He’s been using suppressants all these years so he could have a persona of an alpha.”

“Oh, this poor baby,” Kid’s mother feels for him, “But you need to have the collar on, sweetie.”

Right, the collar!

Ace hops up, “I should go get it. Sanji brought the bag of stuff over yesterday while Law was sleeping.”

“Wait! Don’t touch it! It needs to be a beta or another omega,” She’s quick to stop him.

Making Ace whine as he can’t do anything to help his best friend.

“I’ll go get it. Just tell me where it is,” Killer says as he stands back up.

Leaving the phone near Law as he heads towards Ace.

And while Ace was giving Killer directions, Law can’t help but think of one person during this state. Especially when he hears Kid’s mother say,

“Law, right? You know, I’ve heard so much about you from my son. He’s actually the one that called me to help you even though he’s struggling next door.”

And she said it so Law would hopefully find comfort in the fact that there are alphas out there that care and want to protect. That her son truly wanted to help in such a situation. Because obviously, Law using suppressants meant he didn’t have a safe environment to be himself in. So he wanted him to be able to lean on someone and know that it’s ok to be an omega.

But in doing so, she triggered an instinctual response out of Law. For she has no idea that Kid imprinted on this omega---

“Eustass-ya…” Law perks up, his eyes going to the front door.

“No, you’re going the wrong way---” Ace says and Killer is heard next,

“I can’t help it that you’re horrible with directions. Do you even know what your left and right are?”

“I do when I can think straight! Or did you forget what we all just went through?! My mind is still trying to process everything so forgive me that I mixed up the two, when I could’ve lost my best friend mere moments ago!”

Ace is so loud and dramatic, as well as the two moving further away from Law, that the two don’t notice the omega had gotten up. That he had opened the front door and left it open…

Not until the two come back a few moments later,

“Alright, Law, we got your---” Ace starts but stops as the two see the front door wide open.

Where Kid’s mother is yelling at them about what is going on. But they take off, having no time to waste as every second was valuable.

Did someone come to take Law? But they would’ve heard the struggle. The door was locked too, Killer remembers telling Ace to lock it as well as watch him do it.

Did that mean Law left willingly? But to where---

The two barely get out of the door, just for Killer to see his door was open. As he grabs Ace’s arm before the alpha can call out for his best friend,

“In here,” Killer insists and Ace is back to panicking.

Because why in the hell would Law go back into the alpha’s den?!

“I swear on everything---” Ace is already ready to murder---

Just to have Killer pull him closer and he can see that Law didn’t go far at all. That Kid was still there in the hallway near the front door. His back against the wall as Law was currently in his lap hugging him. With Kid hugging him back…

“Is he…comforting Kid?” Ace is confused.

But Killer moves forth, “Don’t move,” He insists.

Ace is about to argue that, until he sees Kid’s eyes are trained on him. Eyes of his alpha as he dares him to come any closer.

Killer makes sure to block Kid’s view the next second, as he takes out the collar from the bag,

“Let me put this on him,” Killer says as he hopes Kid won’t fight him on this.

But to their surprise, Kid takes the collar from Killer. Before the next second, he’s coaxing Law to lift his head. And soon the collar is wrapped around Law’s neck, the clicking heard and the omega purrs as he nuzzles against him.

Law is completely unaware as his omega has taken over on the surface…

That Kid doesn’t move from his spot until Law falls asleep…

And that Law had actually helped to calm his alpha…

And now as the omega laid sleeping in his arms, well, Kid is back to himself and currently malfunctioning on the inside---

Because holy shit! Law’s an omega!!!

And Law has no idea what he did subconsciously…

Chapter Text

“To put it simply, my son kept feeling this unknown threat, which was Law’s fake persona due to the suppressants,” Kid’s mother explains over the phone.

Yeah, Killer agrees, as it would explain the way Kid was acting around Law. And how it was confusing Kid at the same time as making him feel so strongly.

Basically Kid wanted to fight and take out the ‘alpha’ Law, so he could get closer to the omega Law. Even though Kid didn’t know Law was an omega personally. Somehow the alpha side of Kid must’ve sensed something at some point of being around Law.

“This is a lot to take in,” Killer breathes out as he glances over to check on Kid.

As he finds the alpha is quite calm now and clear headed, while he sits at the island in the kitchen with him.

“It explains why I felt like I was going crazy,” Kid lightly huffs as he can’t help but think about Law.

Even though Law was taken back next door to his home, Kid has yet to stop thinking about him.

“Things will settle down eventually, especially as Law’s natural side comes out more,” Kid’s mother gently says.

Kid frowns as it upsets him that Law had been hiding himself in the first place. That he would even consider using such dangerous drugs and for this long---

“Things will probably be out of whack for a while since Ace didn’t even know Law was an omega until recently,” Killer comments and Kid lifts his head out of shock.

Law’s been using suppressants for even longer?!

“He needs to get off of those things,” Kid’s mother urges as momma bear was coming out, “They’re only good temporarily and even then, the side effects are not worth it.”

Kid is already getting up as he’s determined to go next door to do just that.

“Kid, what are you---” Killer tries to ask but the alpha beats him to it,

“To get rid of those fucking drugs!”

Killer isn’t trying to stop him though, “I know, but I don’t think it’s safe for him to go cold turkey. Especially if he’s been on suppressants for this long.”

He’s not a doctor, but normally with most prescribed medication, you’re either supposed to take it all, or get weaned off before you stop taking them. Unless you’re allergic of course…

“Fuck,” Kid curses as Killer was right and now Kid is plopping his ass back down into his seat,

“Who even started him on that shit in the first place? Whose the one supplying him because I’ll beat their ass too!” He lets out in heated passion.

Killer feels for his best friend as he knows how much Kid wishes he could change the lives of omegas for the better. After growing up and seeing how his mother would be treated and the things she goes through on a daily basis…don’t even get him started on how things had gone after his father died either…

Kid vowed that he wouldn’t be like those alphas. Instead, he wanted to be like his father. A safe place, a protector, a provider. Didn’t matter where he was at, if he saw an omega being mistreated, you bet your ass he’s going to beat yours into a pulp.

“I can find out more information but let’s not try and go over there and demand it right now,” Killer tries to keep Kid calm.

“He needs to rest, I know,” Kid says more to himself as you can tell Law hasn’t been feeling good lately.

Which is most likely due to the suppressants!

“And how did you plan on getting inside in the first place? You better not break down their door,” Kid’s mother’s stern voice could be heard.

Kid is pouting now as he stuffs his hands into his pockets,

“I have the spare house key,” He mumbles.

“You do? How did you get that?” Killer is curious and Kid refuses to look his best friend in the eye as he says,

“I found it fair and square after Luffy lost it,” Before he’s able to look at him, “Honestly, it’s better that I have him than him.”

True, Killer can’t argue with that.

“Tell me, how did Law get inside here? I know I made sure to shut and lock the door behind me when I left earlier.”

Kid shrugs as he was struggling with his alpha side at the time, “Beats me, though…now that I’m feeling around in my pockets…” Kid trails off as he notices something,

“I think my house key must’ve fallen out when you punched me.”

Ah, so Law must’ve found it near the door and used it to get inside.

Almost like fate…

“Looks like you’ll have a chance to talk to him again so you can get it back.”

“Or I can just make another copy of our key,” Kid says before his mother speaks up,

“Son, are you hoping he’ll come to you?” She can’t help but coo at how adorable he was being right now.

And Kid is becoming flustered as he gets all riled up, “No! I mean, if he needs me for something then yes, but it’s also so he can have a safe place to go to.”

Oh how precious can this alpha be?!

Killer is quick to cough to cover up his growing smile while Kid’s mother continues,

“No need to hide your crush from your mother, son.”

Finally, someone tells him! Maybe Kid will listen---

“Mom!” Kid lets out as he covers his face.

But there’s no hiding how red he’s getting.

“You’ve literally talked about him for years!”

“It’s not---I…I don’t…” Kid tries to get out the proper words.

Yet his mind is still a jumbled mess after everything.

“Listen, you’ve helped quite a bit of omegas throughout the years. But not once, have you ever reacted the way you have with Law,” She tells him.

And it’s true, Killer can vouch for that.

“Mom, I don’t want to talk about that right now. What’s important is that he’s ok,” Kid tries to brush it off.

As he didn’t need to be told as he lived through the experience. So yes, he’s well aware that this wasn’t like any other omega he’s met. And he’s met both male and females in his lifetime.

“You did a lot already,” Killer reassures him as he gives him a light shoulder bump.

Kid kept him safe and he even put the collar on Law. So as long as Law keeps that collar on and takes things one day at a time, well, it’ll be a step in the right direction.

Yet Kid doesn’t like that he can’t do more,

“I admit that I didn’t want to let him out of my sight.”

Especially with Law asleep, he’s vulnerable. And when he was in such a state of his omega having taken control prior…Kid’s alpha instincts did not want to let anyone else near that he didn’t trust.

But the logical part of Kid knew that Ace was Law’s best friend. And Killer told him that Ace didn’t react at all to Law like other alphas would. So it did help him to let go of Law…eventually…like after several, many long minutes…ok, practically thirty minutes. Thankfully, Law was asleep during all of this so he has no idea what went down. And that Kid refused to let Ace carry him so yes, the alpha was inside Law’s home briefly. But he respected Law and didn’t take him to his bedroom, he laid him safely on the couch after covering him up in the blanket he kept on his bed.

Yes, you heard that right! Kid gave him a piece of clothing this time!

And Law looked so damn cute still wearing his hoodie while all wrapped up in his blanket---

It might’ve taken thirty more minutes before Kid could move. But it helped that Kid’s mother was still on the phone and that the phone was nearby…

“I don’t want to be the one to bring it up but…you know he might not remember all or much of what happened while he was in that state, right?” Killer brings up slowly and calmly.

Kid lets out a sigh as he already had a feeling. And his mother clarifies it,

“With him having suppressed himself for that long, it’s highly likely he won’t remember a thing.”

That Law was too in and out of consciousness before his omega completely took over. But he still did it subconsciously though, so there is that Kid has going for him.

“He went to me because I was safe,” Kid says with a small smile.

As he managed to reach Law before his omega tried to take over. With the moment they had before he opened the door to let Law back inside his home.

“You did great, honey. Your father and I are proud of you,” Kid’s mother says in a loving tone.

Kid’s smile grows hopeful, “Maybe he’ll remember that for next time.”

Law is feeling warm in this cocoon of his. So much so, that he refuses to leave it. Even as he’s been awake for a hot minute now. Though it took Ace a moment to notice, his head perked up from the T.V. to look towards Law. Seeing the omega was watching the show he had on,

“Oh, you’re awake---” Ace starts to turn it off but Law stops him,

“No...keep it on…please…” Law insists as he didn’t want to face reality yet.

As his mind was already going back to Kid. On that moment before everything got blurry---

“Ok,” Ace eases as he puts the remote back down and lays back in his original position.

Letting Law know that he didn’t have to talk about it. He didn’t have to do anything but zone out if he wanted to. But he was there for him. He wouldn’t leave his side.

And after a moment, Law asks, “What happened?” As Ace can see the omega touching the collar around his neck.

“Yeah, about that…”

Kid’s mother told Ace over the phone that Law probably wouldn’t remember.

“Do you want the whole truth or the jist of it?”

Law’s face says it all so Ace goes easy on him, “Your omega took over, but we got the collar on you and you ended up passing out.”

Law gauges his best friend’s face as he talks, looking for any signs of everything that had gone down. And Law has a feeling he did something stupid. Well, that the omega side of him did something stupid.

Something utterly and downright embarrassing…

And he’s pretty sure it has to do with Eustass Kid if this blanket was anything to go by…

“Who exactly put the collar on?” Law needed to know that one.

As he tries to not burrow deeper into the cocoon of Kid’s scent…

“Uh…can I skip that question?” Ace puts out there as his facial expression was speaking volumes.

Meaning it WAS who Law thought did it and oh god, that wasn’t good for his health! I mean, the omega side of him loved knowing it was Kid, but the rational part of Law knew that was bad.

It didn’t stop him from letting out a pleased sound before he could help it though…

One that Ace picks up on and Law immediately becomes flustered as yep, he’s burrowing deeper into the safety of Kid’s blanket---

“Oh no, I can’t anymore! Law, you’re going to have to explain to me what’s going on here! Because from yesterday morning, all the way to this point, I don’t even know what your relationship with that alpha is. Is it good? Is it bad? Are you two a thing?” Ace is not letting it go as he tries to find Law under the burrito of blanket.

“It’s…complicated…” Is all Law will say as he refuses to come out.

Ace sitting down before the couch as he leans his head onto folded arms,

“I’m your best friend, Law. You can tell me anything, you know this.”

The blanket stops moving and as Ace stares into the tiny hole of darkness, he hears a quiet voice say,

“I’m like this because he…he accidentally imprinted on me…”

Ace nods, expression still soft and sincere, “See? That wasn’t so bad---HE DID WHAT?!”

There’s silence though and Ace has to suddenly take a moment to simply breathe. Ok, hold up. Actually, this silence was good. In fact, it got him to think of how this could’ve happened. Which after a long moment of the silence continuing, Ace was able to piece it together as this happening when Kid and Law had fought yesterday morning…

“Oh…my…god…He…you…then you passed out…and he…and then your omega started to show more…especially as he kept coming around…and the hoodie…HIS hoodie…and the fact that you went to him subconsciously in that state…” He lets out in a dramatic fashion.

Fuck…oh fuck, this was bad---

Ace’s expression shows the extent of how bad this was as the alpha looks back up. Excepting to see the tiny hole of darkness once more, but he sees Law and it breaks his heart,

“Dammit, Law…” Ace hurts for his best friend.

As he reaches out to gently pull the blanket back some so he can look at Law properly. Taking in his raw expression as the omega didn’t want to be in such a situation.

“He doesn’t know. And I don’t plan on telling him.”

It’s not Kid’s fault anyway. Law was stupid to not heed the warning signs of his omega coming out despite the suppressants. He should’ve been more careful. He should’ve bit the bullet and accepted his fate when they told him the news at the hospital.

Yet, he can’t explain it. It was like seeing Kid in that moment, Law just knew he could go at the alpha with everything in him. That Kid would see him, hear him and tell him how it was. Was he hoping for Kid to tell him to get his shit together? For him to literally knock sense into him? They weren't on good terms at all during that time, but Law felt he was safest in the enemy’s hands for some reason.

Even before this stupid imprint…

“But shouldn’t he know?”

“Imprints don’t affect the alpha at all. Only the omega. Only my body.”

Ace doesn’t like this at all, “This will torture you, Law, you can’t---I can’t sit back and just let you---”

“As long as I stay near him for a little bit each day, I’ll be fine. A touch here and there, nothing extreme. Marco-ya already said that I could come back to work if I wanted to so I just have to get my schedule to line up with his---”

“Law,” Ace cuts him off as Law has clearly already set up a plan.

But Law stops talking as he looks at his best friend,

“I may not know everything about imprinting, but I already know how much it’s affecting you.”

How Law’s omega is seeing Kid as his alpha…

Ace doesn’t say that part out loud though…

Law doesn’t try to hide it or brush it off, “It’s not the exact words from the hospital, but they said it was best to have an alpha guide me through this. So since the opportunity has presented itself, why not go along with it?”

It’s not like he had a choice now anyway. And Law didn’t have to say that part out loud for Ace had a suspicion of that already. Especially as his facial expressions go through several emotions. Yet, Ace found himself slightly ok with this, only because of what he had witnessed mere hours ago. Of how Kid was around Law when his omega was at the surface. And how Kid was when Law’s omega side of him completely took over. The fact that Kid put the collar on him too…

Ace closes his eyes as he takes in a deep breath. An expression coming forth that Law has seen on Luffy’s face before. Of something they don’t want to do but have to do. Of a tough descion that was going to be made no matter how he felt, but knew it needed to happen. That he can’t change it for the better straight away, but he was going to be there to get through it until the end. Until he could do something about it.

And that’s exactly what Law sees reflecting in Ace’s eyes the moment he reopens them to lock gazes with him,

“Alright, we’ll go about your way for the time being and see how it goes. But if it becomes too much or gets out of hand, I will tell him. Even if it’s while I’m beating his ass.”

Law can’t help but smile as Ace was truly a good best friend.

“The day I can hug you, it’s going to be ten minutes long,” Law tells him.

Ace going from serious to golden retriever like in five seconds, “Really?! But you normally don’t like bodily contact that long!”

“For you I can make an exception.”

Ace beams as he can’t wait. As this alpha was very affectionate to his loved ones. In fact, many think Ace is a flirter from his personality alone. But he just has a lot of love to give.

“I’m so glad you’re awake now, because Marco called me earlier since I kind of panicked and called him back after everything by accident. For I was trying to find someone to bring your favorite take out here because I didn’t want to leave you alone while you slept. And well, I pushed his contact due to him being the last person on the call list. So he’s on his way over as we speak. But don’t worry, he already knows not to get too close, but this way it kind of works out for you can tell him about wanting to work and…wait, how do we go about telling him without telling him so you can work Kid’s shifts?”

Law merely raises an eyebrow as Ace just word vomits on him, but hey, he did manage to be quiet while the omega slept. So of course he has a burst of energy now.

“I know his work schedule for the most part so I’ll just say those days and times. That way, no one will know. And I mean, no…one…will…know…” Law makes sure to say the last bit slowly as he wants Ace to get that into his head.

No one is to know about the imprint!

“Gotchu, don’t worry!” Ace even holds up a thumbs up.

And it does nothing to ease Law’s worries.

But would it really be Ace to accidentally blurt it out? Or will it be Law himself as he’s already in possession of two of Kid’s personal items?

Time will tell…

Right now, Law is going to continue being in this burrito blanket while he eats his favorite take out. And he’s going to watch his favorite serial killer documentary before sleeping the rest of the day away.

And tomorrow, when he has to go to work and face Kid after yesterday’s events well…

Yes, that’ll be for tomorrow Law’s problem, not today Law…

Chapter Text

“It’s been well over a day, so it should be fine, right?” Kid asks himself as he moves about the apartment to get ready for work.

That incident happened yesterday in the early morning and it was in the afternoon now. So it shouldn’t be too weird for Kid to check up on Law…right?

Kid runs a hand through his hair as he’s second guessing himself, “It might be if you’ve been practically enemies for years…” He mumbles away as he heads into the bathroom.

The light flickering on as Killer can see it from his own bedroom. As he’s been listening to his best friend giving himself a pep talk for a hot minute now.

It’s adorable really…

“He’s going to think it’s weird that I’ve suddenly started caring about him…fuck, what if he thinks I have an ulterior motive now that he’s shown his omega side?”

There’s a groan heard next as Kid is going over every scenario in his head. As he doesn’t want to mess things up with Law. But things haven’t really been normal between them since the start of their relationship. And these past few days have been a wild ride of emotions, thoughts and feelings for sure---

“I just want to let him know he can lean on me. But how can I go about that without it seeming like something else?”

Killer can’t help but smile as Kid truly cares about Law. That much is apparent as the alpha is putting Law before himself. Even pushing his feelings to the side as Law’s health and well being were more important than the crush he had on the omega. Though Killer knows this was way more than some mere crush. But Kid’s come a long way to get to this point, so he’s not going to tell his best friend yet.

He’s sure the opportunity will arise in due time…

The shower is heard next along with the bathroom door closing, so Killer can’t hear what else Kid might be thinking. Yet, he finds the alpha was still thinking about Law even after he exits the bathroom.

“Forget it, it’s stupid. I don’t want to upset him or overstep any boundaries…”

Law probably doesn’t even want to talk to him, much less see him---

“Hey,” Killer calls out as Kid is walking past to head towards the front door.

The alpha stops, looking into the beta’s room to find Killer sitting in his chair and meeting his gaze,

“You could always tell Law that your mother wanted you to give him her number. That way, if he had any questions or needed another omega to talk to, he has options.”

And Kid’s mother did say that on the phone yesterday. Kid actually had to convince her to not get in her car and make the long drive over.

Kid perks up, growing excited, “Kil, you’re brilliant!” He exclaims as he’s already taking off.

Killer shakes his head fondly, curious to know how things will turn out…

Kid barely has the front door shut as he’s already heading next door to Law’s. With a feral grin on his face, chest puffed out and adrenaline coursing through him. He’s both excited and nervous as his heart pounds strongly with each step. Even more so as he stops before the apartment door. As he wonders how Law will greet him---

Fuck, his heart is hammering away!

Kid has to close his eyes for a moment, taking another second to breathe. As he nods, pumping himself up as he talks out loud once more,

“Ok, I got this. All I have to do is knock on the door, ask for him and then tell him that I want to give him my---”

Kid is going through what he should say, when the door was already opening halfway through. The alpha not realizing until he open his eyes towards the last part. Where he pumped himself up and he was ready to knock on the door.

“Number…” Just to find Law was standing there before him.

Talk about embarrassing!

Yet Kid can’t look away as Law looked really good in his outfit he was wearing. But it’s those eyes that kept drawing his attention back. And fuck, he did glance down to see if he was wearing the collar!

“And my answer is no,” Law says in a bored tone as he side steps to leave his apartment.

The door basically closing in Kid’s face as Law kept walking. Hoping the alpha will take the hint and not follow---

Because holy shit! Law’s heart was beating so fast. His face no doubt red as he feels the heat on his cheeks.

Who said Eustass Kid could just walk over to his apartment and ask for his number after what happened yesterday?! Doesn’t he know he’s trying to control himself here?! He’s trying to forget such moments instead of having them replay in his mind over and over like it did this morning?!

And don’t get him started on how it took forever to convince himself to take off the hoodie. Much less, to then take a shower to wash off the alpha’s scent!

Hell, he was supposed to go into work BEFORE Kid. Not run into him!

“What do you mean, no?” Kid’s voice is heard as yep, he’s following him.

Not like Law was moving fast, but that wasn’t by choice. He had to not bust his ass down the stairs while his legs were like jelly. All because of a certain alpha being all close and that addicting scent---

“Do you need the definition of the word?” Law sasses back.

Refusing to stop for the alpha or to turn and face him. For if he does, he’s screwed. It’s literally taking everything in him to keep striding forth and holding this expression.

“You don’t even know what I want your number for,” Kid’s voice is heard right beside him.

Dammit, why did he have to jog to keep up with him?!

And now they’re already at his bike so he has to face him---

“Obviously it can’t be for anything good,” Law says as he hopes Kid will take the hint and back off.

Just please, he’s seconds away from climbing this alpha if he doesn’t stop!

Kid of course doesn’t back down. In fact, he makes sure to put his hand on the brake handle even when Law manages to get onto the bike. Making it where Law has to look at him,

“I actually wanted to give you my mother’s number in case you ever need anything.”

Law’s heart skips a beat at this, Kid’s gaze wild and passionate as ever---

“Fine,” Law says as he looks away to busy himself with grabbing his phone.

Something to try and distract himself from how he’s feeling. Of how hard it was to hold back---

Kid lets go of the bike so he can take the omega’s phone after Law opens up a new contact. And Law was too busy trying to remain in control of himself to see that Kid snuck in two numbers. As the omega puts the key into the ignition and turns---

Just to find it won’t start…

Shit! He forgot to get gas on his way back home from seeing Marco two days ago. Which to be fair, after getting such news on your life changing forever, well…yeah, getting gas was the furthest from his mind. And it doesn’t help that the nearest gas station was miles away. So walking to get gas to bring back would take too long---

“Get in the car, I’ll take you to where you need to go,” Kid offers as they’re both looking at the gas needle way past the E.

Law decides to be sassy instead. Snatching his phone back from Kid as he gets off the bike,

“Fuck off, Eustass-ya.”

He doesn’t need an alpha’s help. Especially not his!

So watch him as he’ll take his happy little ass back and walk to the gas station---

Law’s eyes go wide as the next second, he finds himself being manhandled. His world turning upside down as he’s thrown over the alpha’s shoulder. With Kid walking through the parking lot like Law weighed nothing!

“Eustass-ya, if you don’t put me down right this second!” Law sasses out of frustration.

Because he definitely did NOT like this---

Oh, he’s about to purr out of delight---

Kid sets him down on his feet and Law clings to the alpha’s arms. Not that he wanted to mentally, but because his legs were noodles. Kid realizing as he made things easier yet worse for Law, by wrapping an arm around his waist to keep him steady.

“Are you ok to even be going anywhere?” Kid asks out of concern.

Where he ends up lifting his free hand to tilt Law’s chin up so he can get a good look at the omega. As Law was flushed, eyes shining with tears and mouth open to pant---

Law moves one hand up to smush against the alpha’s face,

“Just…give me a second…and don’t look!” Law demands.

Kid goes from being stunned in awe, to riled up as Law was making things difficult. Making the alpha grab his wrist as he growls out,

“I just want to help,” He states.

But Law can’t look him in the eye. In fact, Kid is shocked once more as he finds Law leaning his forehead against his one broad shoulder,

“Hey…” Kid’s voice goes soft with a deep undertone.

Making Law shiver, his hand twitching in Kid’s hold,

“Please,” Law is about to beg as he can’t take much more of this.

“I’m going to help you sit down, ok?” Kid remains gentle.

As he tells Law exactly what he’s going to do and where he’s going to touch. None of it inappropriate, as he gets the passenger door open and Law sat down. He even keeps the door open so Law knows he’s not trying to trap him or go anywhere. All before he lets go when he knows Law won’t hurt himself. Law leaning back in the seat as he closes his eyes. Keeping Kid from seeing how his eyes had kept flashing back and forth of his omega.

“Thank you…” Law is able to say after a moment.

As he doesn’t know how much time had passed. But when he opened his eyes, he found Kid had managed to sit down in the driver’s seat. With the alpha going about his life like Law wasn’t an inconvenience. Shuffling through his playlist as the music played but it wasn’t loud or overbearing. Just enough noise to help ground them to reality.

“I’m glad that I could help,” Kid says as he means it.

As he makes no move to take off, even if he’s late for work. He already texted Killer to call Marco for him. And Killer had told him to take his time, Marco’s words. But even if Marco said otherwise, Kid wasn’t going to move until Law was ready.

“Why?” Law can’t help but ask as he doesn’t understand.

For Kid doesn’t know about accidentally imprinting on him. And even if he did, he’s not obligated to do shit. Nor does it affect him in any way.

Weren't they enemies just two days ago?

Law attempts to move around a bit. Going slowly as he finds his legs aren’t like jello anymore. And soon makes himself more comfortable as he’s feeling nice and warm. With Kid’s scent and aura helping him greatly. Putting him into an almost sedative-like state, but a welcomed one.

“Because I want to,” Kid says, like it’s that simple.

And honestly, it’s such a Kid thing to say.

It has Law smirking, “Alright then, big guy. Nice talk,” He teases.

Which has Kid becoming flustered, as oh shit! Law actually wanted to converse with him!

“I mean---I---uh---shit…” Kid curses as he sounds like an idiot.

He most likely looks like one too as he even licks his lips to try and stop himself from continuing. And it doesn’t help that Law is looking at him so intently, yet not saying anything---

“My parents are also the reason,” Kid manages to get out after clearing his throat.

As Kid’s fingers mess with one of the spare bandannas in the center console of the beat up car,

“My Mom is an omega and one time she got sick with the flu really bad. My Father had been out of town for a case, so it was just me and her. I was just a child and she passed out in the school parking lot one morning…” You can see him reliving that moment from childhood.

Where though it was many years ago, but it stuck with him even now,

“No one…and I mean, no one would help her. Other mothers just kept moving their children along. Not even the school staff would come when I begged. My Mother had to do it all herself once she became conscious enough…” Kid’s tone is filled with emotion.

As you can see the frustration and anger on his face and from how his hands would clench into fists before letting go,

“She just smiled at me and told me it’s ok, she was used to this. To not worry about her.”

Kid was only a child and yet he already understood what omegas went through on a daily basis.

“I vowed that day to grow up strong so that I could help my Mother when my Father couldn’t…”

As Kid looks right at Law when he says, “I don’t want someone to go through that. Not alone, not when I’m around and can do something. I’m not like those alphas.”

Oh…it seems Eustass Kid actually had a heart…

But that could honestly make things worse for Law. As this was not helping his situation any.

“Well, I appreciate it, Eustass-ya. But I’m good now, so---” Law says as he knows he needs to get out of this car before it’s too late.

Where he’ll want to stay forever like the omega side of him wants to do---

Just to find Kid reaching over to shut the door to block his escape. The alpha’s hand is still on the door as Kid is mere inches from his face. His eyes ablaze with wild passion,

“You might be able to hide it from others, but I’m not listening to your bullshit excuses, Trafalgar. Something is going on with you and whether you tell me or not, I’m not about to let you walk or drive in this condition. So tell me where you want to go.”

As Kid emphasizes his point by locking the doors and keeping it where Law can’t unlock the passenger door to get out. Thus riling up Law in seconds because who said this alpha could start giving a fuck about him?!

“Oh, we can play this game all day, Eustass-ya,” Law sasses as he’s not budging.

He even makes himself at home as he moves the seat back before propping his long legs up, shoes on the dash. The omega crossing his arms over his chest like some teenager throwing a tantrum---

Just for Kid’s phone to light up in the center console with Marco’s name…

Both eye it, the tension in the air growing as Law is beginning to look mighty nervous. Like he doesn’t want Kid to answer it for some reason. Which only prompts Kid to want to answer it even more. Thus, the two moving at the same time. Kid grabbing it first as he lets out a feral grin in triumph. Already swiping his thumb to answer---

Before he found the omega wasn’t stopping there. Nope, he was climbing over the center console to grab a hold of the phone. Kid now having his lap full of the omega, their bodies flush together, faces mere inches apart as they both hear Marco’s voice,

“Is Law with you, yoi?”

There’s silence as both stare at the other. Law’s eyes were fierce while Kid’s were wild. Law mouthing for Kid to not say a word, but the alpha challenges him back, mouthing,

‘What are you going to do about it?’

Both totally not expecting Law to bite him on the neck. Causing Kid to curse and groan,

“Fuck, Trafalgar!”

Which to others, it would sound mighty sexual. Especially to your own Boss, so of course Law had to speak now,

“You dumbass, give me the phone,” Law demands as he’s able to get a grip on it.

Not even moving out of Kid’s lap as he talks, “I’m on the way if this buffoon would stop holding me up---”

Just to find Kid putting the car in reverse. Law’s eyes met his with a glare. Just to find Kid grinning away with that fire in his eye,

“We’ll be there shortly,” Kid says before hanging up the phone.

As the alpha now knows where Law was trying to go now. As he heard about Law having worked at the bar in the past. And rumors that he might be coming back. So what do you know, it seems they’re going to the same place---

“Eustass-ya, you stop this car right this instant!” Law is seething.

Not even caring that he tosses Kid’s phone into the back seat so he can brace himself against the alpha’s broad shoulders. Ready to punch that smug grin off his handsome face---

Kid hits the gas, Law’s eyes lighting up in emotion, bringing back that wild and dangerous thrill the alpha felt when they had first met. Of those emotions and feelings that didn’t go away since Law was revealed to actually be an omega.

“Make me,” Kid hopes to rile the omega up more.

To keep his focus on him, to give him all his attention. Even if Law thought he didn’t need his help. The omega wasn’t going to get rid of him so easily.

“You really want to continue playing this game?” Law lets out.

As that light in Law’s eyes burns with the same fire as Kid’s. As yes, this was the Law Kid knew. That whatever was going on with the male, hadn’t broken him completely yet. That as Law turns in his hold to now fight over control of the steering wheel, it only makes him grin wider. To laugh as he’s having the time of his life. As he puts his hands over Law’s, getting the omega right where he wants him. With Law fitting perfectly in his lap with his tinier frame as Kid helps them turn the wheel together. Taking them out onto the roadway, a smug ass look on his face…

And Law sassing the whole damn way like a pissed off kitten…

Fuck, it was too adorable…

The scratch marks on his cheek were well worth it as well as the busted lip. And the growing bruise on his neck was turning into quite the hickey much to Law’s displeasure. But the good thing was for Law’s sanity, that Kid let him get out through the passenger side. Only after Law managed to unlock that side from the driver’s side.

But nothing could stop Kid’s happy grin.

Not when Law’s slamming of the passenger door only fueled it…

Especially when Law made sure to glare at him fiercely while flicking him off…

And watching the omega stride inside as Kid might’ve checked out his ass briefly…

Yes, the constant ‘pain’ of his injuries reminded him of the special time he had with Law as he hoped to have more moments with him. That Law will actually like him one day…

Until then, well, he’ll keep doing as he pleases…

And Law, well, it’s only his first day and already, things aren’t like how he thought it would go. But luckily, Usopp is there to point out why. As he comes back up to the bar to talk to Law,

“Tell me, did you have sex with Kid in order to make him your personal guard dog?”

Excuse me?!

Seems lots of things have gone down since the moment the phone call with Marco ended, to this moment right here…

Chapter Text

Law already can’t stop thinking about Kid. Where this alpha has always found a way to reach his mind since the moment he entered his life. As before, he entered his mind because he was making his life literal hell. And maybe along the way, he made his life interesting and fun. But you’re telling him that this wild beast of an alpha is apparently a gentle giant?! A momma’s boy?!

And now a personal guard dog?

Oh, Law should’ve known something was up when he had come into work and Ace avoided him. Avoided him! And when he accidentally ran into him, Ace held a nervous smile along with eyes not wanting to look at him. But of course, before Law could figure out what went down, the restaurant got slammed. There was no time to ask, much less ask anyone for help, as everyone was trying to stay afloat through the rush.

It took a bit for Law to fall back into things, but he eventually did. With it all coming back to him with ease, like second nature, while he helped Ace and Nami make drinks in the bar. Though he remained behind the bar and let the two venture out to the tables. With Law taking the ones at the counter as alpha scents were still too strong for him to get too close. So remaining out of arms reach was best for everyone and Law could go from behind the bar and straight to the back without running into any customers.

Now a certain red head alpha on the other hand…

Usopp jumps as Law might’ve set the bar shaker down onto the counter top a little too hard. But Law is focused on what just came out of his mouth,

“Who came up with that shit?” Because Law is pissed.

Law didn’t expect the warm welcome he actually got. He expected strange looks and whispered words since his persona of being an alpha was destroyed now. But a lot of the betas came to greet him happily, with the alphas giving small waves or a nodded gesture. Maybe it was Marco’s doing and he told the alphas to play nice and stay back for his sake. Or maybe it’s because Whitebeard really had a family and not just some misfits thrown together. But these looks were different than that and he didn’t know why.

Until now…

“I um…I’m not sure…” Usopp is starting to back track.

For even with Law being an omega, his aura could be quite terrifying when upset. And that fierce look in his eyes like he wanted to murder---

“I-I seem to have the I forgot-itis,” Usopp says as he glances from Law to something behind him.

Where Law notices and can see Usopp turning white like a ghost, before the omega is quick to look over his shoulder. The anger growing as he sees red hair going back into the kitchen---

Oh fuck that! He better not have started that rumor!

“He’s so dead,” Law mumbles under his breath as he doesn’t hesitate to take off.

Usopp not trying to stop him at all, as he knew better than to get in between that. Cause hoo boy, was Law coming in hot. As Law had felt great with lots of energy since getting out of Kid’s car. And since he was pissed at Kid, it helped him get through the rush just fine…

Kid goes back to his position after checking up on the omega once again. As he’s been doing that since they’ve arrived at work. Didn’t matter about the rush, as Kid found a way to check in on the omega. Even if it was to bring ice up to the front or clean glasses from the dish pit. Making sure to stay out of Law’s clear view as he didn’t want to interrupt him while he worked. But he wanted to make sure he was ok and that no one was messing with him. Because a coworker or customer, he’ll beat their ass to a pulp.

Now the rumor that started? He’s not denying it.

Kid doesn’t know who started it, but he never gave a shit about rumors before. He’s been called a player, a playboy, someone who’ll fuck coworkers and the customer. Even both at the same time! Who gives a shit? Kid doesn’t. But this rumor however? Ok, so maybe he liked the idea of Law and him being a thing. Even if it’ll never come true personally, he didn’t go out of his way to stop it. Plus, it meant Law would come back to him---

Oh, what do you know, here he comes---

“Eustass-ya!” Law hisses out, calling attention to everyone in the back.

With Robin smiling in amusement as Law strides past. Not caring that everyone was watching as he got right up in Kid’s face. With Killer, Wire and Heat moving around them on the line as they continued with the orders. Kid actually stopped to give Law his full attention, as yes, please come closer. Say my name again, show me more emotion. Show me more of you---

Law is going off on him and yet Kid is smiling away like a happy fool…

Meanwhile, Thatch is in the background going,

“I told you that these two were having sex in his car and that’s why they were late---Ow!” He lets out towards the end as Izo comes by and whacks him with his fan,

“It’s because of you that such a rumor has come about. And we all wanted Law’s first day to be easy and without drama!” Izo gets onto him.

“But it’s not a rumor?” Thatch lets out in confusion, as he can’t be the only one to have picked up on Kid’s scent all over Law.

For he may have walked into the office at the wrong time, but he knows what he heard as well. Even Marco, Ace and Izo had all been flustered by Kid’s loud groaning of Law’s name. And you can’t tell Thatch that nothing had gone down between them with evidence left on Kid’s face and neck. Just look at them right now! They can’t keep their hands to themselves!

Oh? It seems Law is walking off now,

“Fuck off!” Law shouts as he doesn’t look back and heads for the front once more.

Most likely to attend to his duties. But Ace goes after him just to make sure he’s ok. Managing to catch up to him back at the bar. Where it’ll just be the two of them since Nami left early. And hey, Usopp was smart to clean up the counter top for Law before going back to bussing other tables. So at least Law won’t have to worry about that…

“So…care to explain what went down back there?” Ace is careful when approaching.

Law’s aura is still hostile and anyone else would steer clear, but Ace is the omega’s best friend,

“I’m tired of thinking about him, about talking about him, of him existing,” Law lets out as he starts stocking things back up.

Since there’s a slow moment, it was best to get things they needed together for the next rush. So Ace moves in to help,

“I’m taking the car ride over wasn’t pleasant?” Ace takes a wild guess and Law stops as he glares.

But then his expression changes as he lets out a long sigh, “No, it was…it was nice at first actually,” The omega admits.

Oh? So something did happen?!

Ace is about to overfill the drink mix if it weren't for Law stopping him,

“Don’t look at me like that. We didn’t do anything those rumors spreading could predict.”

Ah, ok, yeah, he’s right…

“Sorry, that phone call kind of…” Ace winces as he recalls it and Law lets out a noise of frustration.

As a tattooed hand comes up to rub his temples, “No wonder everyone thinks we’re having sex. All I did was bite him.”

“We know,” Ace says as the evidence is bright and bruising nicely for all to see on Kid’s neck.

Law groans as he ends up squatting down. Lightly thumping his forehead against the cabinet,

“The only reason I was in his car in the first place, was because I forgot to put gas in my bike and then I…” Law trails off, but he didn’t have to say anything more.

Since Ace knew about the imprint, he can put together what might’ve gone down,

“You had another episode,” Ace says quietly and Law nods.

The omega’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the bar counter tightly. Causing Ace to frown,

“I’m sorry, if I had known, I would’ve changed my shift so I could’ve taken you instead.”

“It wasn’t bad, it’s just…” Law tries to explain it, because he doesn’t want anyone to blame Kid.

But he’s still trying to run it through his own head so he can remind himself. To remind the omega side of him that this is all accidental. It’s biology, it’s not real. It’s not a natural response, but a made one due to the imprint. One that Kid still has no idea about…

And that’s why it's messing with Law so much. Because Kid is showing this side of him that cares. A side of him that Law wishes he didn’t know existed---

“He keeps making things better, yet worse at the same time,” Law says after a moment.

Where he’s helping, yet torturing him with all these thoughts, feelings and emotions…

“That’s understandable,” Ace replies as he wants Law to know that he’s listening, “You know, you might not be aware of it, but since yesterday and this morning’s events, I’ve been able to get closer to you.”

Law perks up at this, as he lifts his head and notices how close Ace had managed to get and it wasn’t bothering him.

“I told you, he makes things better…” Law begins to repeat as he goes to stand up, but then notices Kid sneaking a look from the hallway, their gazes meeting briefly, before the alpha dips back into the back,

“Yet worse,” Law sighs out as he can’t get rid of the alpha.

That he’s forced to keep going like this for who knows how long…

Luckily, things start to pick back up again so Law has to focus on making drinks for the time being…

Except, once that rush ended, Law found his energy was leaving him. Ace had gone to the back to grab more alcohol to stock as Law tried to act like everything was fine. But Law knew better, because this is how he started to feel during his hospital shift before he passed out.

And he didn’t pass out because of lack of energy---

Not here…the others can’t see him like this…if Lami hears about this…

Law braces a hand against the counter, closing his eyes for a moment as he feels pain throughout his body. It’s small at this time, as he counts the seconds of how long it lasts. Trying to focus on his breathing, so that the moment he can move, he can find a place to hide until the next wave hits---

Ok, it let up, he can do this---

Law opens his eyes, keeping close to the bar top just in case, as he walks slowly at first. Trying to move like normal, but things are disorientating. And he knows his time was limited right now. So when he spots Kid coming into the bar with a keg, he locks eyes with him as he subconsciously reaches out his hand---

Kid doesn’t hesitate to sit the keg down before going over to Law’s side. The bar was luckily empty at this moment, so no one could see how weak Law was feeling. How the moment Kid pulled him close, he let go and was leaning heavily against his side.

“Shit,” Kid curses under his breath as he realizes Law must be having another episode.

Though he doesn’t know that Law is having a completely different episode, but the omega isn’t about to correct him,

“Need…someplace…private…” Law tries to get out the words as the pain was coming and going in tiny spurts.

But it’s surprisingly bearable thanks to Kid unknowingly.

“I can do that,” Kid reassures him as he helps Law to the hallway of the bathrooms.

So he can get Law to the extra supply room in between the two bathrooms. Where only a select few have the key to and Kid was one of the ones who stole such a key. As it came in handy when one wanted to hide away for a moment, especially one such as this.

Law is starting to go through another wave of pain that he doesn’t even register where he’s at or that he’s moving anymore. Not until he’s inside the supply room and being sat down on one of the boxes---

“No, floor…before…worse…” Law instructs.

For even in this state, the doctor in him knows he’ll harm himself less if he’s on the ground.

“I got you,” Kid says as he helps Law sit on his butt and propped up against the wall.

Law winces when Kid stops touching him. The omega’s face contorting in pain as another wave comes faster.

As it’s getting stronger…

Kid is sending a text to Killer to let him know the situation, when he hears a hurt sound come from Law. Bringing his attention back to him as this was similar, yet worse than last time. For Law hadn’t been in this much pain, he’d just been weak. But this…

Law pushes back on the balls of his feet as if he could get away from the pain. As if he could make his own body stop fighting itself and let go. But the pain kept coming and getting stronger.

It was hard to think…

To breathe…

To know where he was…

He’s scared…

It hurts…

Fuck it hurts---

Law doesn’t realize that he’s reaching out again, but Kid notices his shaky hand and takes it. The omega clinging as his body tightens with the next wave of pain that shows clearly on his face. And Kid is only feeling a fraction of it from how hard Law was squeezing his hand---

When the pain lets up for a brief second, Law is panting, his world disorientating but he finds Kid’s hand grounding him. The next second, he feels something surrounding him as Kid ends up sitting down and moving the omega to be propped up against him instead of the wall. As he kept holding Law’s one hand while wrapping his free arm around the omega’s middle. So that when the next wave of pain hit, he was able to keep Law steady.

He didn’t make fun of him…

He didn’t downgrade him…

He remained through the entire episode. With Kid having no idea how much he was helping. How it kept him from completely going unconscious through the attack. And how it was giving him energy as he’s slowly recovering. With his body finally letting up, but he was too exhausted to move at the moment.

Strangely, the silence wasn’t uncomfortable…

Even more so, Kid was still being caring despite his episode being over. As he can feel Kid still holding onto his hand while his other one tries to rub a soothing pattern along his side. The two remaining like this as their heartbeats both evened out. Their breathing slows back to normal and Law can’t even tell you how much time had passed. He was in and out with a chance that another episode could happen. Yet Kid didn’t complain once and remained just like this…

When Law started to move a bit more, Kid let go to reach over and pull a nearby water bottle to them,

“Here,” Kid offers as he’s not taking no for an answer.

He already pops the cap and directs it to Law’s lips as the omega’s hand is still weak and shaky. The omega protests at first, but when he feels the cool liquid touch his lips, he parts his lips and lets the alpha give him much needed water. And when Kid pulls the bottle away, Law isn’t proud of himself as the sass and sarcasm come right out,

“I can do it myself,” As the omega is using a defense mechanism to cover up the hurt.

Trying to distract Kid so he doesn’t see how fragile and vulnerable he really was…

But the alpha doesn’t take the bait,

“I do what I want,” He says without hesitation.

Where he had the perfect chance to call Law on his bullshit and yet he didn’t want to hurt the omega’s pride. That he respected Law and didn’t see him as any less with this episode. And it goes right to Law’s heart as he’s already in such a vulnerable state,

“And I don’t care,” Law keeps throwing jabs.

Trying to stop himself from feeling such things as the omega side of him was delighted. And this warm feeling was not helping any. But he’s blaming his weak body on the reason why he’s not attempting to get away from it. To get away from Kid, even as the omega side of him wants to get closer.

“I can do this all night,” Kid tells him as he brings the bottle back close.

Law’s words die as his lips part instinctively for the alpha to give him more water. With Law growing frustrated with himself as well as flustered. But he can’t deny this wasn’t nice. Even if it was due to the imprint.

“There you go,” Kid praises.

He fucking just praised him! And Law has to close his eyes to hide the flash of his omega. As he has to swallow the water down so he doesn’t purr in happiness.

Fuck Eustass Kid, this stupdily handsome, oaf of a giant---

Law ends up getting some energy as he snatches the water bottle before throwing it across the room. A huge frown appeared on his face as he wished he could move away from the alpha. But atlas, he’s stuck like this for a bit longer, so he’s going to pout about it by throwing a tantrum.

Kid just finds it amusing as his grin shows and his eyes shine with that fire,

“Mmm, feisty.”

“Can you stop being you for one second?” Law demands even though he knows it’s futile.

“Nope,” Kid pops the p right near the omega’s ear too.

Making Law shiver before letting out a frustrated noise. Ready to beg at this point as he’s tired, he feels like he’s been ran over, and his mind and heart are a jumbled mess---

“I’m glad these episodes haven’t damaged your spirit,” Kid says in such a deep, meaningful tone.

Taking Law off guard as he realized that Kid was trying to brighten his mood after what took place. As he tried to help Law move forward and not let these episodes define him.

It’s actually really sweet when you think about it…

And it was different from how everyone else had reacted…

So maybe that’s why he caves and the words come out so easily,

“Due to the damage of the suppressants and taking them since I first presented…there’s a high chance that my body won’t correct itself and I’ll die in the end.”

He could die by this year or a couple of years. There’s no telling the full extent really. It’s all up to his body and fate. But there’s nothing that his loved ones can do. And that’s why he never planned on telling them.

He doesn’t tell Kid this out of pity or some sob story either. For he has this feeling, this strange connection even before the imprint. One that Law finds himself holding onto with the imprints involvement. Like he knows what Kid is going to say before hearing it.

And he takes every word to heart as he needs to hear it,

“Then you gotta live your life how you want and stop wasting time.”

As Kid doesn’t try to find a solution. As he doesn’t cry out of sadness, but is there to push Law to keep going. To decide his own fate despite it already being decided for him. For he could lie and wait for the inevitable. He could be angry about it and take it out on others. Or he could keep going like it couldn’t even phase him. Like it wouldn’t stop him and he’ll triumph in the end.

“And if such moments arrive again, come to me,” Kid urges gently.

Moments that Law can’t bear to have around his loved ones…

Moments that were both ugly and bad…

Kid wants all of it, all of him. He wants to be that safe place where Law doesn’t have to hide what he’s going through.

“I’ll answer, I’ll be there,” Kid declares with heated passion.

And Law remembers the way Kid said it…

He can still feel the alpha’s warm embrace surrounding him…

Even after they got interrupted by Killer knocking on the door…

Even when it’s been hours and Law laid awake in his bed while wearing Kid’s hoodie and snuggled in his blanket…

And when he starts to fall asleep, he calls out the alpha’s name…

Where Kid laid on the other side of the thin wall and hears it, a smile appearing on his face as he replies back,

“Goodnight, Trafalgar.”

Chapter Text

Kid receives a text message, one that he made sure had a certain ring tone to it since he first started getting messages from them. No matter what he was doing or where he was at, he dropped everything for this person.

As he wants them to keep coming back…

To keep reaching out…

Until maybe one day they never wanted to leave…

The alpha wakes right up, even though he laid down maybe an hour ago, but he doesn’t care. He fights with his groggy mind as his painted nails reach out for his phone. Catching it as he accidentally smacked it off his bedside table. Wincing as the bright light fills the room, but he finds it’s from him,

Trafalgar Law

And it looks like the omega can’t sleep again---

‘Open up’

Kid is grinning like an idiot as he glances from his phone to his closed bedroom door. Where the alpha can make out Law’s shadow from the omega’s phone light as he ‘patiently’ waits.

“You know I leave it unlocked so you can come and go as you please,” Kid lets out verbally.

The alpha’s grin grows as Law opens the door with such sass, those eyes fierce, yet tired, as he looks too damn adorable in his hoodie and blanket.

“I don’t want to enter if something is happening,” Law sasses as he doesn’t wait any longer and waddles towards the bed.

Kid makes room as the omega gets onto the bed,

“You already know you’d hear if something like that was going down,” Kid calls him out.

Law lightly huffs as he faces away from Kid and curls up in his blanket burrito,

“Fine, I don’t want to enter if I’m unwelcome,” Law comes out with it.

Even if the alpha offered and told him countless times that he can come and go as he pleases, he still wants to make sure. Kid does have a life and Law is sure there are times when one doesn’t want to be bothered. It didn't matter if Kid told Law to keep the spare key. Law respects Kid and doesn’t want to ever overstay his welcome.

Because he knows he’s been extra clingy lately…

Yet Kid simply wraps an arm around his middle before pulling the omega flush against him,

“Like Killer, you’re the only other person welcome to do this.”

“You’ve cuddled with Killer-ya?” Law can’t help but ask.

Like hoo boy, where did this jealousy suddenly come from? Calm down! But it didn’t help that Law knew Kid was a huge playboy. I mean, he didn’t go through countless nights and naps being interrupted by the alpha’s sexual escapades to not know. Though luckily, he hasn’t seen it happening at work and it’s probably due to how busy it’s been.

But Law’s omega did not like the thought that Kid could have nonchalant intimate moments with Killer…

“It’s a bro thing. We’ve also grown up together and practically took naps beside each other. So it’s natural at times,” Kid says as it’s just skinship.

It actually helps to calm Law, as he thinks about those two as little children falling asleep in a play room together.

It gets him to snort out loud too,

“Do I even want to know what you’re imagining in your mind?”

“Shut up, I’m trying to sleep,” Law says, but there’s no heat behind his words.

Silence does fall over them, but it’s comfortable and Law thinks that Kid must’ve actually gone to sleep. But then he hears a quiet, deep tone,

“You’re the only one I want to sleep in my bed like this.”

Law feels his heart skip a beat before pounding strongly. With his face immediately becoming flushed. The omega ready to unleash hell from Kid saying something so cheesy, embarrassing and so bluntly---

Just for Law to hear light snoring next. Making Law still as the alpha actually fell asleep…

Great! Now he’s going to be the one laying awake and replaying those words over and over in his head. All because of the stupid imprint---

But Law actually ends up passing out not long after, as Kid has that effect on him to be able to lure him to sleep with his scent and warmth surrounding him…

And when Kid wakes up to find Law was still in bed with him…

Yeah, he can’t stop this giddy feeling and that dorky grin from coming forth…

But how did the two get to this point? Well, we’d need to go back a month. Back to Law finding out that Kid snuck his number in his phone and not just his mother’s…

‘Fuck you’ As the signature middle finger emoji is present.

This was the first text Law ever sent Kid as the alpha woke up bright and early to it.

Yet, instead of a reply, Kid decides to do a different approach as he beats his fist on the wall next to his head. His feral grin growing as he hears Law on the other side,

“I sent that text for a reason, fuck off.”

Because it was all Kid’s fault that he’s feeling like this. That he woke up in a mood in the first place. All due to Law having a dream about the alpha. And no, it wasn’t a wet dream or even a bad one. It was a nice dream, too nice in fact. It even felt real, so of course the omega side of him is all pleased and giddy. Wanting to go right to the alpha this bright and early morning---

But the logical, other side of Law is not thrilled about this. For he knows it’s the fucking imprint’s doing…

Law suddenly gets a ding on his phone, his eyes darting to look,

Kid sent a kiss emoji…a kiss emoji!!! With the red lipstick and all!!

‘Consider yourself blocked,’ Law sends back before he’s already moving to do just that.

But his finger hovers over the block button…

Come on, he can do it…just push it…don’t even let your omega side try and take over---

There’s another ding and Law hates how fast he went to see what the alpha said.

‘Go ahead, block me. You won’t get rid of me that easily. Besides, I’ll just openly talk in my bedroom so that you’ll hear what I have to say.’

Law raises an eyebrow at this, ‘You wouldn’t dare.’

A second doesn’t even go by before he hears Kid’s laughter and then his deep voice,

“You wanna bet, Trafalgar?”

Fuck, the way he says his name in that voice should NOT make pleasant shivers go up his spine…

“Don’t make me come over there and beat your ass,” Law threatens verbally.

He even fiercely glares at the wall like Kid can feel it through the thin material,

“Come on then, you failed miserably the first time. I’d like to see you try it again.”

Law lightly huffs, “Meet me at the door and find out,” He banters back.

Though neither make a move to actually get up,

“Nah, if you want it so bad, come get,” Kid throws back.

And yep, Law’s omega is taking those words a completely different way, so now he’s becoming flustered,

“I’m not fighting on your bed, Eustass-ya,” He’s quick to shut that thought down.

Hoping the omega side of him will get the picture---

“Mmm, why not? Afraid to end up underneath me in some intimate position, Trafalgar?” Kid teases.

Nope, the omega side of him was ready to purr at the mere thought---

“Like hell it’d be me. You'd be the one underneath me,” Law manages to keep the bantering going.

As he wants to change the subject now and really, he could just get up and leave. But his legs were still like jello from the dream he had. And Kid right there talking, was not helping---

“I’m not opposed to it, but not on the first go around. Though if you wanted to ride me, fuck, yeah, that’d be pretty hot. Bet you’re a power bottom too,” Kid says his thoughts out loud and so bluntly.

Causing Law to start to imagine things. Things that he never had an interest in before. Things that never affected him…until now…

With Law feeling a twitch down there and---

Law’s loud gasp is heard as he’s quick to clamp his legs shut because nope, nope nope---

The omega suddenly flings the covers off of him as he tries to get up, completely forgetting that his legs were like jello---

And down he goes with a loud thud…

Kid shoots up from his side, his eyes looking at the wall like he can see what’s happening on the other side,

“Trafalgar?” He calls out as he begins to worry.

Was he having another episode?

But then he hears his voice, “Just stop talking,” Law lets out in an embarrassing defeat.

Kid goes from worry to a bit confused, before it clicks. And now a feral grin appears,

“Oh? Was it too much to imagine?” Kid is back to teasing.

When neither expected what came out of Law’s mouth next. Especially as the omega just wanted to get away but couldn’t at the moment,

“Alpha!” Law begs.

He fucking begged and it sounded so desperate too…

Making Law go so red as he wishes for the ground to swallow him whole. Meanwhile, Kid goes red too. In fact, his whole body goes hot as he popped the fastest boner known to man. And we’re talking rock hard, raring to go.

Both their hearts were pounding, bodies flushed and yep, Kid needed a moment so he didn’t make a fool out of himself.

“I um…can’t think…” Kid tries to think about something other than the omega.

Yet here he went making a total fool out of himself and he cursed, before getting up to go to the bathroom. Thus, stubbing his toe on the corner of the dresser. And wait no, the pain was helping to clear his head and simmer down his problem a bit.

Though it didn’t help the embarrassment any…

“Don’t think you won,” Kid manages to get out as he leaves the room.

Leaving Law on the other side of the wall, his face buried against the carpet as he tries to delete that embarrassing moment from memory…

“Onii-chan, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?” Lami asks as she stops eating her cereal.

Where she keeps looking at her older brother frowning down at his breakfast and not touching it.

“I think so,” Ace is heard as he comes over to the tiny dinner table with toast in one hand, orange juice in the other.

“Don’t…say…a word…” Law threatens as he finally looks up from his plate and towards his best friend.

Ace throws his hands up in defense, forgetting what he had in his hands. And now orange juice sloshes everywhere while he’s fumbling to catch the toast from hitting the ground.

Lami laughs in amusement as she scoops another spoonful of cereal to eat,

“It’s like old times,” She says with a smile.

Making Law perk up as he knows what Lami is referring to. Where it’s just like it was before. Back when Law just got done from a late night hospital shift but then had to get up and go right back. Running on fumes and black coffee so he can be quite cranky when he first gets up. And Ace is his usual bubbly self while making a mess and causing good chaos. Making things lively in the morning like always.

Like Law never collapsed at the hospital…

Like Law wasn’t wearing a collar right now…

Like Law’s whole life hadn’t been turned upside down…

“See? Everything is going to be ok,” Ace reassures them both as he comes to sit down.

With Lami feeling hopeful as her eyes shined brightly. Matching Ace’s growing grin as the two radiated with so much love and warmth.

And Law didn’t have the heart to tell them otherwise…

So he gives them a small smile of his own. As he genuinely appreciated this moment that reminded him of the things in life worth fighting for. Worth trying to keep going for…

But Law can’t help but wonder for how long? How long will he have these moments for?

He hopes it won’t end anytime soon…

Suddenly, there’s a knock on their door. Lami perking up because who could it be? Yet Law had a feeling that he knew. Especially as Ace looked right at him with knowing eyes. Because Ace knows what happened this morning much to Law’s displeasure. As the omega had been on the phone with Sanji for advice, when Ace had barged into the bathroom in a desperate plea to go number two. And to be fair, they shared a bathroom because Lami had the master bedroom with the bathroom connected. It also had never been a problem before, but that was before Law’s omega started to come out.

So that was when Ace had not only caught a glimpse of the sticky, clear substance on Law’s fingers, but of what Sanji said. All before the two locked eyes through the mirror…

Law is looking like a deer trapped in headlights as he realizes he had accidentally ignored all of Kid’s texts. So of course the alpha would naturally come over to raise hell.

“Open up, Trafalgar! I know you’re in there!”

Fuck, it is the wild beast!

Law instantly mouths to Ace, ‘Do not let him in.’

Ace is gesturing dramatically back, ‘If we don’t do something, he’ll break down the door!’

Law doesn’t care about the door though. His mental well being was more important and he was not ready to let his pride down for Kid to know that embarrassing, vulnerable part of him that took place. Nor does he want to hear Kid talking about it…

But as Law and Ace were too busy gesturing chaotically back and forth, Lami was already at the door and answering it. The two going wide eyed in shock as they both get up to try and stop her---

It’s too late, as Eustass Kid comes into view, those wild and passionate eyes locking right onto him. With Law’s heart skipping a beat before pounding away. Especially as the alpha’s gaze becomes hot and intense---

Whelp, down goes Law as his legs become like jelly and Ace scrambles to steady him, before Lami turns to see what all the commotion was about. With Ace and Law hugging each other and the alpha trying to fix the table that almost fell in the process.

“Why are you two acting so weird this morning?” Lami is curious to know.

Just like Kid, as he was totally NOT jealous of Ace touching Law in such a manner…

Chapter Text

Let’s back up a bit to gather more of the story here. Back when Kid originally left his bedroom a certain ‘problem’ arose…quite literally.

And poor Killer had barely left the bathroom when the alpha was approaching him in a panic,

“Kil, I need your help!”

Killer stops thinking, oh no, something must be going on with Law again. But as Kid is getting closer well, it’s hard to not notice the ‘problem’ in the alpha’s underwear,

“Um…” Killer is confused as this couldn’t be what he needed help with, right?

“I’m afraid I can’t help you with that sort of problem,” He points out as he gestures with his head.

Huh?

Kid is now confused until he follows his best friend’s gesture and thus, the embarrassment comes right on back---

“Fuck, no, not that!” Kid exclaims as he’s quick to turn around to hide that ‘problem’.

“I need help with Trafalgar! I think I messed up again.”

Oh? So Kid didn’t have some wet dream and actually got this ‘problem’ from talking with the omega?

Interesting…

“Go on,” Killer urges softly as he wants his best friend to know that he’s listening.

Even as he continues to stare at Kid’s back while the alpha was too flustered and stares at the wall. But that doesn’t stop the alpha from being animated and blunt as the words come spilling out,

“I think we were flirting, or at least, I was. And it’s stupid, I don’t know why I was testing the waters. It just felt right, it came out naturally. And I enjoy teasing him a little bit. Plus, we were texting back and forth, bantering like usual, even verbally to each other…when it just happened. Just some minor dirty talk, nothing extreme as the imaginary popped into my head. Of course I said it out loud like I always do. And then there was a loud thud, Trafalgar got quiet and when I called out, he told me to stop talking. I figured he might’ve had his pride hurt as his body is going through things so I tried to tease him again to lift his spirits. To get him to focus on something else. Which, ok, maybe I shouldn’t have tried to go back to the sexual topic once more, but then---” Kid practically word vomits everything.

Until he gets to the part of when Law called out that word in such a manner…

Yep, Kid was already regaining his ‘problem’ from merely recalling it…

“Can you not?” Killer asks politely as even he can pick up on the alpha’s scent becoming stronger.

Kid is jerked from his thoughts as he starts to become as red as his hair,

“Shit, sorry, I’m not trying here!”

With Killer finding all of this amusing, well, until the alpha turns abruptly to face him. As Kid forgets about his ‘problem’ that is almost touching him while the alpha grabs a hold of his shoulders,

“I left the room in a panic, but what if I should’ve stayed? What if I fucked up and he doesn’t want to talk to me, now?”

As Kid doesn’t know where to proceed from here. Because if it was Kid’s choice, he’d go right over there and demand to speak to him. But that would most likely make things worse at the moment, especially after the omega basically pleaded with him. And Kid doesn’t want to mess up his chances with Law.

That much is made clear that Killer can see and it shows that Law was becoming someone special to Kid.

Kid looks torn and Killer feels for him,

“Firstly, it helps that your ‘problem’ is gone. Secondly, it’s smart on your part to wait five minutes before doing anything.”

Kid nods as he really had to fight with his alpha instincts to go right to the omega,

“And then what?”

Killer pats Kid’s back, “Then you send him a text to see if he wants to talk.”

Because talking verbally is what got him into this mess so it was better to test out the waters first through text.

Kid perks up at this, because oh yeah! Texting should be ok and then he’d know if Law was truly upset with him or not…

Except, while Kid sends him the first text, Law was in the middle of having a crisis here.

Ok, more of a freak out, but a crisis nonetheless. And yes, he knows he’s a doctor and he knows what’s happening to him logically. But it’s the first time it’s ever happened and it’s due to Eustass Kid---

So yes, Law is going to have a teenager freak out moment as he panic dials Sanji after sending an urgent text.

Thus, leading to Sanji answering as Law is standing in the middle of the bathroom, shorts around his ankles and fingers coated in a clear, wet, sticky substance.

And poor Sanji barely answers the call before Law is sprouting out words,

“I’m leaking…from my butt…” He lets out in awe.

With total silence following the call. Well, except for some occasional dings as Kid is texting him in between this. But then one can hear Zoro’s voice,

“You did not just interrupt our sexual escapade again to answer the phone for this…” The alpha is talking to Sanji.

And you can hear him start to bicker with Zoro back, “I made it up to you last time, didn’t I? Now, get off me for a second, mosshead. Your barbarian brain wouldn’t understand this vulnerable moment. It’s his first time, so it’s a delicate matter.”

He’s right as Zoro doesn’t understand why Law was freaking out over this,

“He’s a doctor. He should know he’s leaking slick, it’s natural---”

“Don’t say the medical term,” Law groans as he’s becoming flustered.

Not even caring that he’s standing half nude in the bathroom while on the phone with these two goofballs. But he can’t be alone in this moment after knowing WHY he produced slick.

That he’s finding Kid to not just be physically attractive, but…but…gah! He can’t even think it without feeling like he’s going to combust! His heart is pounding too fast!

The two are heard bickering in the background until Law lets out a whimper from how his fate was turning out to be. Causing the two to stop as Sanji calls out,

“Hey, no, it’s ok. Like mosshead said, it’s normal. It’s natural and there’s nothing wrong with what’s happening to your body.”

Law grips the counter with his free hand as he holds up his other hand as if he can emphasize his point by the evidence. Yet, the two can’t see since they’re not face timing,

“It’s wrong when it happens thinking about someone I don’t want to think about in such a way!”

“Is he talking about Kid? Aren’t they fucking already?” Zoro asks Sanji, as if Law wasn’t still on the line hearing ever word.

“I thought so too from what the others told me,” Sanji replies and Law is ready to simply flush himself down the toilet---

And Law can’t help how his emotions are haywire right now. How talking about Kid gets him riled up. Add on to Law recalling prior events that led to this point, and those thoughts, feelings and emotions come boiling over and right out of his mouth,

“I haven’t done anything with that dumbass player! I’m still a virgin!”

All before Law realizes the slip of the tongue and how he shouldn’t have said that last part…

Silence falls again on the other end of the line. And it didn’t help that Law can see several more texts from Kid popping up on his screen. With the alpha asking if he was ok. To just let him know that he wasn’t having an episode. He even sent a sweet, heartfelt text that nope, Law can’t do this---

But Law can’t handle this moment right now. And things only got more chaotic as Ace suddenly bursts into the bathroom needing to go number two. Both stopping like deer trapped in headlights. With Ace taking in the scene before him while Law is growing so flustered---

It’s actually how Lami woke up this morning as the two males were quite loud. With Ace heard apologizing multiple times while Law was full of sass and a slam of the door. But that didn’t stop Ace from trying to get back on the omega’s good side all morning…

So yeah, it might’ve slipped Law’s mind to reply back to Kid. To the alpha that was standing in front of him. Looking at him so intently as Law shivers under that gaze and has to look away. As he ducks his head to brace his forehead on Ace’s shoulder. Taking both alpha’s by surprise. Especially as Ace realizes he can touch Law and from Kid thinking the omega wanted Ace’s comfort. That Law didn’t want to be around him---

“Ah! I’m going to be late! I need to get to the bus stop! Bye, Onii-chan!” Lami calls out.

It makes Law’s head snap up in her direction. As she already moving past Kid to head to the stairs,

“Who said I wasn’t walking you to the bus stop?” Law calls out as he heads after his sister.

It didn’t matter if Law’s world was falling apart, he would always be there for his sister.

“You’re busy, it’s ok,” Lami tries but Law isn’t stopping,

“I’m never too busy for you, I’m your big brother,” He insists as he focuses on Lami and takes the steps two at a time to catch up.

Leaving the alphas behind as they both watched Law take off before they lock eyes briefly,

“Firefist,” Kid acknowledges him, but he’s not happy about it.

Ace can tell that much from his expression alone and his tone did not help,

“Morning to you too,” Ace greets back with his usual cheerfulness.

As Kid wasn’t about to ruin his good vibes. But to Ace’s surprise, Kid doesn’t stick around. He actually heads to the stairwell, Ace thinking he must be going to do his own thing. Yet, he finds the alpha following after Law.

Oh?

Ace moves to the railing overlooking the parking lot as he watches the scene unfolding…

“You still had plenty of time. The bus won’t be here for another ten minutes,” Law teases lightly.

With Lami smiling softly, “I was trying to help. You seemed like you needed an outlet so I provided one.”

Hmm? Is she talking about with Kid? Fuck, is he really becoming that obvious?

Law becomes a bit flustered as he shoves his hands into pockets and moves from side to side slowly,

“I didn’t want to get away, I just…everything has me feeling strongly…it’s a lot to take in…to sort through…” Law tries to put what he’s feeling into words.

Not like he can say a big part is due to Kid accidentally imprinting on him. Not to his little sister at least…

Lami nods,

“So you don’t dislike our neighbor,” hoping her brother will continue as Law has no idea that Kid was standing nearby.

As the alpha stopped when he noticed Lami gesturing for him to wait. But he’s within perfect earshot as Law tilts his head down to focus on the ground as he talked,

“No, not like I used to. Not as I’m getting to know Eustass-ya more. His company is nice to be around…it’s just me having to get used to this new life.”

On breaking down his persona life of an alpha and living the life of an omega…

On being him and not hiding behind a mask…

And this is when Kid moves closer, only stopping as Law can feel a warm, solid wall up against his back. With a shadow casting over him that has Law tilting his head back so he can look up. Taking in those wild and passionate eyes,

“Doesn’t mean you have to do it alone, remember?” Kid reminds him.

As the alpha wasn’t going to back off or let Law do this by himself…

Law’s heart skips a beat before pounding that steady rhythm. With the omega blushing before he can look away. His body growing warm as his legs feel like jello---

The omega needs to get away but he can’t. His tattoo hand slips out of his pocket to grip Kid’s thigh, the alpha registering before he’s moving his arm to wrap around the omega’s middle. Keeping Law upright as the omega ducks his head shyly.

Luckily, the bus was pulling up, taking Lami’s attention away during this time. With Law leaning back against Kid as he uses his free hand to wave when his sister waved first through the bus window,

“I’ll see you later, Onii-chan!” She calls out.

Law gives her a small smile, his eyes shining with love, before the bus eventually takes off…

Silence takes over for thirty seconds before,

“Can you…your car…” Law manages to get some words out as his heart is beating too fast again.

His body feels too warm as he’s such a flustered mess. With his omega happy as can be like this. But Law is still going through it mentally. And his body is refusing to listen to him.

“Can you walk at all?” Kid asks and Law attempts, but his legs give out.

Kid is already there to catch him before he’s lifting the omega up with ease. Law groans in embarrassment as the alpha bridal carries him to his car.

Something that Ace watches the whole thing, until he can’t see them anymore. As Kid helped Law into the passenger side before he went over to slide into the driver’s. And even though they don’t go anywhere, they must be having a private moment in the car.

“Law’s safe with him,” Killer’s voice is heard as he had appeared earlier.

As he stood next to Ace and turns to look at him,

“I know,” Ace replies quietly as the alpha feels for Law.

But he also knows this is torture for the omega…

And it doesn’t help that Kid had no idea…

That as the two got closer, it would truly be both heaven and hell for Law…

It’s a few hours later when Law arrived at work. Where he actually drove his bike thanks to Ace putting gas in it. So Law didn’t have to ride with Kid to work, much to the alpha’s displeasure. And also, Law’s, but the omega is trying to not think about missing the alpha. He’s not clingy, he refuses to be needy, no matter what his omega is demanding. Besides, he knows rationally that he was going to see Kid at work.

Except, maybe today wouldn’t be a good day to be on the same shift as Kid. Especially when he barely had clocked in and Nami was already calling him over to the bar,

“Hey Law, can you come show me how to make a VIRGIN long island ice tea?”

Yeah, he’s definitely not going near Kid at work today…

Chapter Text

Law’s sweet scent fills the room along with his gasps and pants. A moan pulled from him as the omega digs nails into Kid’s broad shoulders,

“Eustass-ya!” Law is pleading.

The pleasure rises as it’s too much, too fast. A feeling he hasn’t experienced before. With eyes tearing up, the alpha keeps him caged in so he has to keep feeling it.

As the alpha is taking in every breathtaking sight of Law being wrecked like this…

As he hopes Law won’t hold back and will want him more…

More than anyone else, any other alpha, especially Ace. As he knows Law is interested in him, so he can’t stop now…

Why is Law ignoring him? Weren't things good between them this morning? With what Law said with Lami. To the moment they had in his car. Hell, they even had a decent conversation with no bickering. It was calm, nice and they bonded over music. As Kid found out that they had similar taste in music and liked quite a bit of the same artists.

He thought things were cool between them, but then it started to go downhill a bit. Like when Kid had offered to take Law to work again. Only Killer knew how long it took to hype himself up to be able to pop that question. But before Law could answer, Ace had appeared and told them that he filled up the omega’s bike with gas. The two of them shared some silent conversation that he couldn’t follow with looks alone. And then Law told him he’d see him at work---

Before Ace closes the door in his face!

Ok, so it wasn’t like an angry one, just a simple shutting of the door. But it felt like he’d been punched in the gut. As that ugly feeling was pooling in his stomach while churning to make the feeling grow. That feeling that Ace and Law do have some sort of intimate relationship going here. And before, it kind of went away due to how Ace hadn’t reacted to Law when the omega had exposed himself. But now…

It didn’t help that Killer had mentioned to him that Ace didn’t seem too happy with him hanging around Law. That Killer told Ace that Law was safe with him, and Ace had agreed, but not in a relieved tone kind of way. So of course it’s got Kid’s mind going again and that ugly feeling brewing up a storm. And Killer had to add the fact that Ace has been able to get closer to Law again. Where yes, Kid noticed that all too well when he saw Ace this morning hugging Law.

So why was Law ignoring him? Did Ace say something? Because it was all fine and dandy before work. Where Ace is currently working this shift as well, so it makes it suspicious. So maybe Law had thought Ace wasn’t watching back in the parking lot? But since he did see them get into the car together, they had some talk and now Law isn’t allowed to be around him?

Oh, fuck that! Kid doesn’t care what Ace or anyone had to say, it’s not going to stop him from being around Law. Yes, maybe he was out of line with the flirting, but it wasn’t made clear if Law was in any sort of relationship. That didn’t mean he couldn’t still be a good friend though. And he can apologize and tell Law that so he doesn’t have to ignore him. Because if Law tells him that he’s with Ace and he wants to just be friends, then that’s that. It’ll be fine. Yeah, it’ll hurt like a bitch, but he respects Law and his wellbeing.

Yet, every time Kid TRIES to get a moment with Law, the omega won’t keep eye contact long and keeps it moving. Not only that, he found Law would immediately go into the opposite direction...

Just to avoid him. AVOID HIM! Like now, as he literally dodged him while carrying a full tray of drinks in one hand---

Now Kid is getting pissed and it doesn’t help that the straw hat group keep looking their way and pointing. With some giggling while others are gossiping. And one is just staring at him without even blinking. Why? To go tell Luffy’s brother so it’ll cause more problems for Law?

Dammit! He needs to clear the air before things get worse!

Meanwhile, Law is having the worst time at work and it’s not because of Kid per se. Just what could happen if the alpha found out one vital piece of information about him.

That he’s a virgin…

Do you know the endless teasing he’d get from the alpha?! The embarrassment?!

No, Law is better off with the rumors he had when he first worked here. Where everyone thought he was an alpha and getting hoes left and right. That he could get any woman or man, didn’t matter. They would flock to him and they did back then. He just never gave a shit and again, it was a persona. He wasn’t really an alpha and the suppressants kept him from having any sexual urges. Nor did he want anyone finding out his secret. So he remained a mystery alpha and he liked it that way.

But this? It’s already bad enough that they found out he’s an omega. He definitely doesn’t need others knowing he’s a virgin. Yet, due to his own slip of the tongue and Sanji claiming it was Zoro who told the others in a group chat…

He’s been teased nonstop by Nami, Robin and Vivian.

Chopper was still too young and innocent to know thank god. And Franky would rather keep building the bar up into tip top shape to play around at the moment. But Brook kept playing the violin while giving him knowing looks. Or changing the songs that involved sex on purpose.

Luffy is just going along with the ride because it’s fun, but Law wishes the other two worked here because ooo, the omega had a nice word for the two. But no, Sanji worked at the Bartie and Zoro helped with his parent’s Dojo---

Fuck, here comes Usopp---

“I swear to---” Law mumbles under his breath as Usopp starts cleaning the bar top of dirty dishes,

“You know, I think it’s a pretty smart move you did there. If I were in your shoes, I probably would’ve done the same thing. That way, no one would think you hadn’t gotten laid if you were to fake sleep with an alpha who slept around on the daily.”

Law grips the drink nozzle as he’s seconds from spraying Usopp with it. As he tries to remain positive as he could say yes to get out of the rumors that started yesterday. Yet that would acknowledge that he was in fact, a virgin. But then the last part of the words settle in.

The words of Kid being a player…

And Law finds his anger and frustration dying as a pain of sadness clenches his heart…

The fuck? Why is he feeling like this?

“Hey…are you ok?” Usopp’s cheerful demeanor changes as he notices Law’s sad expression.

Shit, was it showing on his face too?!

Law is quick to turn away and keep things moving. Choosing to ignore Usopp as he continues with his job. But it’s like that pain won’t go away. It’s not unbearable, yet it’s a dull ache in his chest like a constant reminder.

Why? Yeah, his omega part of him wouldn’t be pleased. That much has shown in little bits of jealousy that Law keeps trying to shove back down. But it shouldn’t affect his heart. Why should he care? Kid is free to sleep with whomever he pleases. He’s free to do whatever the hell he wants. They’re not in a relationship, nor does Law want to go down that road…

Right?

Law stops in the middle of the bar with both Nami and Ace about colliding into each other to avoid running into him. But Law is too distracted with his thoughts and feelings to notice his surroundings. As those words keep circling around in his head.

Was it only his omega side of him that wanted Kid? Or was he actually…maybe…crushing…no, no, no, it can’t be. It has to be the imprint confusing him. Plus, his body is going through so many changes and he’s learning how to be himself, to be an omega so…so…

Fuck, he doesn’t like this. This confusion, this uncertainty, these strong emotions and this damn ache---

“Law?” The two ask as the omega hasn’t moved in a hot minute.

It jerks the omega out of his head, realizing where he’s at. He feels overwhelmed and like he can’t breathe---

“I…I need a minute,” Law says as he sets the stuff in his hands down on the nearby counter before walking away.

Both Nami and Ace sharing looks of concern…

And poor Law can’t think straight on where to go. Should he go outside for some fresh air? He would if he was an alpha but it wasn’t smart when he’s an omega. Especially as his mind is everywhere. No, he needs somewhere safe, a safe space to go to---

Law instinctively went to the back, his feet taking him right to the line. Where he finds those wild and passionate eyes locking with his---

Dammit! He can’t go to Kid! He’s the reason he’s feeling like this. And he was even reaching out for him! How pathetic can he be right now?!

“Law!” Ace calls out from the front.

Law turns on his heel, making a beeline for somewhere else…

“Did he just…” Wire asks in confusion as they had all seen it.

Had seen Law looking distressed and going to Kid, but then turned around once his name was called.

“Uh, Boss,” Heat lets out as the next second, Kid leaves the line.

Just leaving the food in the saute pans before Killer is quick to move in to save it,

“We’ll take over for him until he gets back. Remain focused,” Killer steps in.

The two nodding as they get back to work. Hoping everything would be ok, as even these two knew how worried Kid has been over Law.

Kid is barely out of the kitchen, when he sees Ace pulling Law off the side. Law trying to get out of his hold as Kid can hear him saying his name,

“I wasn’t trying to go to Eustass-ya, I…”

But then Law backs off, accidentally knocking a pitcher someone had set up on a ledge with his elbow and it goes over the omega’s shoulder and all over Ace. Making the alpha back up and Law looks hurt and such a mess. As he feels like shit and goes to apologize, when he finds himself getting choked up---

As he’s about to cry---

“Law,” Ace sees it, but when he goes to reach out, Law takes off.

Ducking into the hallway of the bathrooms as Ace is left there in shock. But before he can do anything, he finds a hand grabbing his wrist and takes in Marco having seen the whole things,

“Come with me, yoi,” He directs softly as Ace looks just as hurt as Law.

Letting the alpha pull him along gently and back into the back. Where he didn’t see Kid at all because the alpha had already followed after Law into the men’s restroom.

Where Law had barely pushed open the door before he felt his own wrist being grabbed. As he’s turned around and can see Kid there. The alpha taking in his vulnerable expression as Law tries to stop it. But he can’t. Not with Kid,

“Alpha,” It comes right out as his expression contorts.

As he can feel his legs trying to go weak. But Kid keeps him moving towards an empty stall. The alpha only looking away briefly as he flashes his eyes at poor Usopp at the urinal,

“OUT, NOW,” Kid demands with a flash of his eyes in warning.

Usopp gulps in fear as he instantly takes off, barely having time to zip up his pants, before he’s exiting the bathroom. Leaving the two alone as Kid gets Law into the big stall. The door locking behind them in haste as the alpha gets Law caged in against the wall…

As Kid can’t help his alpha instincts going haywire from how Law called out that word…

How Law was looking at him right now…

How Law had wanted to go to him…

“Trafalgar, tell me right now. Tell me to stop and I will,” The words come out as Kid is trying to reign in control.

Because if he’s reading this right…

If Law likes him…even if it’s just a smidgen of interest…

All bets will be off…He won’t hold back---

“Eustass-ya…” Law tries to get the words out, but he’s feeling too strongly right now.

And with Kid so close and touching him. With the omega side of him so close to the surface, it was hard to remain in control. To think logically, as he can already feel himself slipping into that head space.

To his omega ready to come out and submit…

His eyes flashing of his omega in return of Kid flashing his eyes first…

Of a line about to be crossed as Law can’t stop himself. He can’t stop the omega side of him from taking over,

“Please…Alpha…”

And it’s all Kid needed to hear before he takes Law on a wild ride…

Chapter Text

There was definitely something up between Ace and Law, but what that was exactly, nobody knew. But Marco had taken notice since Law’s secret came to light.

Of Law being an omega and not this persona of an alpha…

Is that what’s putting a strain on their relationship? On making things harder between them? Were they actually involved in a closer relationship than anybody knew? Or did someone have one sided feelings?

Marco wishes he could help Ace, but he knows it’s not his place to ask all of these questions. He’s Ace’s Boss, his mentor. It would be inappropriate to ask such intimate questions.

Like is he in love with Law?

Were Law and him intimate in the past?

But since Law’s omega has come out, it’s made things complicated?

For he knows from looking at Ace’s expression as he takes off his wet clothing, that something is hurting him mentally and emotionally. So he hopes when he asks a certain question, that Ace will tell him something.

Something that’ll ease his heart as he’s afraid he already knew the answer…

“Do you want to talk about what happened between you and Law, yoi?” Marco is careful with his words, his tone gentle.

As he tries to keep his own emotions hidden so he can be there for the young alpha…

Ace’s expression turns into a pathetic smile as he shakes his head, his hair still wet from the pitcher falling onto him. His top attire soaked as he let it hit the floor and he stood there topless for a second.

“There’s no point. There’s nothing I can do about it,” Ace voices with his tone laced with hurt.

As Marco helps by handing over a clean t-shirt to wear temporarily for the rest of his shift. Ace takes it, using it to distract himself as he puts it on. But the moment that’s done, you can see in Ace’s eyes how much this affected him.

And Marco knows he shouldn’t, but he can’t help it as this was Ace. Ace has always held a special place in his heart since they first met,

“Kid went after Law---” Marco could barely finish his sentence before Ace was reacting.

His eyes going wide before he reaches for the door, but Marco stops him. Reacting just as fast as he surprises them both. The palm of his hand shutting the door back as he’s flush against Ace’s back.

“Marco?” Ace asks as he goes to turn to look at him.

But Marco’s words against his ear make him still in his spot,

“I can help you with the pain you’re feeling…for I feel it too.”

Huh? Marco feels helpless as well? He feels lost on how to help his best friend? That he feels like all he’s doing is fucking up instead of helping?

This has Ace turning, ready to bring it up, but then he finds Marco’s gaze locking with his. Their faces so close as Marco keeps him caged in against the door. And the alpha can’t help it, his heart starts beating fast, his face flushing. His mind goes blank as this was like the start of every wet dream he’s had of the older male. Of every day dream where he’d come up with scenarios in his head as if Marco would return his feelings. But it’s stupid, he knows it won’t happen. There’s their age difference, plus he believes Marco is straight---

“Marco,” Ace says his name again as he feels like he’ll combust if the older alpha doesn’t move.

To say something at least instead of looking at him so intensely---

Fuck, Ace looked down at Marco’s lips as the alpha subconsciously licked them…

Ace is quick to dart his eyes back up, hoping he didn’t get caught, but those eyes knew. The way he’s looking at him, he definitely knows. And now Ace is gripping the door knob tightly, ready to bolt as surely now Marco will know he has a huge crush on him---

Just to find everything stopping at this moment. No, everything moves in slow motion, as Marco leans in. Tilting his head slightly as Ace felt his nose brush along his and then…then…

Oh fuck…

Marco’s lips were against his and it felt like a punch to the gut. A wonderful punch, as emotions mixed in with his feelings. Heightening the sensation as Marco tested the waters before that sly alpha slipped his tongue right in---

Ace’s pleased curse is muffled from Marco kissing him. As the alpha doesn’t let up, not when Ace reacts back to him. The two getting lost in the kiss as everything else around them is tuned out…

“Alpha,” Law says it again in a quiet whisper.

As he looks at Kid shyly, yet you can tell he wants to continue this. That he wants to proceed with what they have, but he doesn’t know how. But the way he’s clinging to him as if he doesn’t want to let go is a good indicator. And the way Law is nuzzling against his jawline and neck is too fucking cute.

“You do want to be around me,” Kid breathes out as Law is caged in against the wall in the bathroom stall.

As Kid isn’t doing anything and Law is purring away in delight as he likes this. He likes being around the alpha. There’s no ounce of fear to be had as he’s comfortable and being open around him. Showing off this vulnerable side that seems to only like him and not Ace.

And you have no idea what that does to Kid…

“You’re making me want to lose control, you know that, Trafalgar?” Kid admits as his eyes flash of his alpha once more.

With Law letting out a pleased sound as he submits willingly. His sweet scent filling the air,

“Eustass-ya,” Law answers as he may be in his head space, but he knows who this alpha was.

“I’m here,” He replies as he lets his hands run soothingly down the omega’s sides.

Feeling how Law trembles as he likes Kid’s touch. Where Kid stops at Law’s hips when the omega lets out an unsure sound,

“Feel…weird…” Law manages to get out as everything was new to him.

With his omega side, with the sexual attraction and feelings coming forth and fast. It was different and makes him nervous---

“It’s ok, I got you,” Kid reassures as he slows things down.

As he lets his thumbs rub into Law’s hips until he can feel the omega relax once again.

“Keep feeling it and express it. You’re safe with me, I promise.”

Law had obviously tried to go to him earlier for something, so Kid wanted him to know that he’s here. He’s listening; he’s ready to help guide him. To do whatever is needed of him. He doesn’t care if it takes a while, just as long as it’s what Law wants.

“You make me…feel…safe…good…” Law tells him as he’s definitely in his head space.

With the omega side of Law completely out and eager to please the alpha before him. And Law can feel Kid smiling against his collar,

“That makes me happy to know that,” Kid breathes out.

As it eases his mind further…

“But also confused…these feelings…thoughts…conflicts my heart…though my body wants…”

Hmm?

Kid pulls back to look at Law because this sounds like a confession of some kind. And it doesn’t help how the omega was looking at him. With his eyes showing of his omega, expression shy and nervous as he bites his lip. But looking at Kid with the want to get closer---

“Never felt…like this before…” Law admits and fuck, does it go straight to Kid’s heart.

As it makes his entire being react, his body growing warm as a pleased rumble produces from deep within,

“Yeah? You like me?”

Law nods, “I do.”

The omega says it so innocently too, like a teenager does going through their first love. And it keeps fueling that fire within Kid.

Of how he wants to protect this precious omega…

Of how he wants to love on him…

To take him away from anyone else and be his only alpha…

“Then you can have me, babe,” Kid says with no hesitation.

For Kid wasn’t going to hold back now. He wasn’t going to stop after Law confessed this. Not when Law was feeling the same; everything and everyone else be damned---

The door to the bathroom suddenly opens as someone comes in whistling. Completely oblivious to what’s taken place inside. Even though Kid instantly picks up on it being Luffy, as the male soon comments,

“Hmm? What’s this sweet smell? I feel like I’ve smelt it before…It reminds me of candy. Mmm, candy…” Luffy trails off as he gets easily distracted, before he remembers what he came in here for,

“Ah! Wait! I need to pee!” He lets out as he quickly heads back towards the urinal to pee.

Kid had let go of Law as he was becoming defensive. His alpha instincts are ready to fight if need be, but then he notices Law’s legs giving out. His body sliding down the wall next; that he’s quick to catch him from hitting the ground. Slotting a leg in between to help keep Law up. Having no idea that this simple touch made Law react. With a breathless moan heard next in the alpha’s ear---

Holy shit that was hot---

Luffy can be heard peeing as he continues whistling loud enough that only Kid could hear the moan. It didn’t help that Kid could feel something against his thigh. His eyes taking in how Law was a flushed mess. Lips parted to pant slightly as he couldn't meet the alpha’s intense gaze. As he’s shy and embarrassed by getting hard in front of the alpha.

Thump

Thump

Thump

Kid moves his leg slightly, teasing the omega as it forces Law to rub against his thigh. The omega gasping and a needy sound coming out, nails digging into those broad shoulders,

“Alpha…please…” He’s pleading as quietly as possible.

As he’s feeling such strong jolts of pleasure. Something he hasn’t felt before and it’s both heaven and torture at the same time. As Luffy is literally right there and could find out any second---

Law swears the unzipping of his pants is loud to his ears. But not as loud as the thumping of his heart. His body is growing hotter as Kid’s hand is sliding inside his pants now. His hand wrapping around him and giving him a firm squeeze---

Law has to bite his lip, eyes squeezing shut as his head tilts back against the wall. His hips jolting up, body tensing as he’s feeling good. Too good and fuck, Kid shouldn’t have started this because he can’t stop. He won’t stop, not when Law was so hot and sexy like this. As he was turning into such a mess by his touch alone---

The urinal flushes before running water is heard next from the sink. Alerting the two that they still weren't alone and yet it makes Kid want to keep going. To be naughty as he hopes the rumors spread more. As he hopes this reaches Ace and he knows what he’s doing to Law right now.

Because fuck, this was worth it…so worth it…

With Kid teasing the omega as precum beads at the tip and he uses it to heighten the pleasure. His one hand easily encases Law’s cock as he gives it firm, smooth strokes. All while watching Law falling apart, hands bracing against his one shoulder. Law’s other hand sliding down to grip his bicep as Kid’s arm muscles flex with a flick of his wrist. Eliciting another hushed gasp from Law as the omega was getting off on this.

They both were and literally with Luffy right there!

And Kid can’t help it, he craves danger as he takes it up a notch. With pulling Law’s cock out where he can see. The omega becomes shy again, as he tries to close his eyes from the alpha’s intense gaze. As his body grows hotter, the pleasure coursing through him faster that he isn’t sure how much longer he’ll last.

But he doesn’t want it to stop even though it’s too much, too fast---

His hips betray him as they begin to move on their own…

Just like how his body keeps reacting to Kid against his will…

Luffy seems to be playing in the sink now or maybe time felt like slowing down just to torture Law. As he’s trying to hold out, but damn is Kid making it so hard. With the alpha jerking him off faster and with that heated gaze, how was anyone supposed to last this long?

His hips roll and pick up pace, meeting Kid’s strokes, as his mouth is open to pant softly. The sounds ready to escape at anytime---

The bathroom door is heard opening with Luffy’s whistling drowning out as the door shuts behind him.

Finally! He can cum, he doesn’t have to hold back---

Yet the moment it’s about to happen, Kid stops him with a firm squeeze around the head. Making Law hiss before a low whine is drawn out. The pleasure mixing with pain clouding his mind as he was right there!

It has his chest heaving, eyes opening to plead for the torture to stop. As he looks up at the alpha with half lidded eyes that were blown in arousal. Tears welling up as the sweet begging comes right out,

“Alpha…please, I need…” Law gets out, before he’s moaning loudly the next second.

With Kid teasing the head of his cock as his other hand slips down, down, underneath his balls and right to his hole. Taking Law off guard as his whole body jerks and the omega continues to moan. His body begins to tremble as Kid keeps circling his hole. Slipping in the slick that’s soaking his underwear.

Teasing him…

Torturing him…

Making him want more…

Biting his lips to stop himself from telling the alpha to do bad things to him…

“What do you need, babe?” Kid asks as his voice is laced with arousal.

His tone is so deep as Law has all of his attention. As he wants to take the omega apart slowly. Piece by piece so he can savor every moment before getting to the main course.

Just so he can repeat the process all over again…

“Nnn…can’t think…too much…too good…” Law is honest in between his moaning.

As it’s overwhelmingly good that his mind keeps blanking. The only thing he can focus on is the pleasure and Kid. And he lets the alpha knows this,

“You…just need you…”

Having no idea the effect it has on Kid, before Law feels the alpha’s hand retreating from down there. As it switches with the hand that was teasing the head of his cock. And now he’s stroking Law off with his own slick. Causing Law to moan constantly as the wet sound is heard with each glide of his hand. As Kid hurries to bring Law over the edge before he snaps and loses control.

For the alpha in him wants to take Law right here and now…

But Kid knows this isn’t the time or place…

And that thought alone showed him that Law was more than someone to fuck or some mere crush. Because if feelings weren't involved and it was purely sexual attraction or biology, Kid wouldn’t have cared and done the deed right here and now. But he knows Law is relearning himself and letting his omega out. So he’s going to make sure it’s done the right way. As he hopes he’ll be able to help Law continue learning and loving himself…

“Alpha!” Law’s moan gets higher pitched as he’s getting close again.

With the moans being cut off by panting. His mouth parted to take in air as his chest was heaving. Eyes closing, the back of his head lightly thumping against the wall, as it’s coming fast and Kid doesn’t let up this time. He actually goes faster, all while saying,

“Cum for me, Trafalgar,” In that voice of his.

And Law goes right over the edge. Almost blacking out as the experience is surreal. Not even realizing the sound he let out as his Adam's apple bobbed. Or how his body was convulsing as cum filled Kid’s hand. How his tattoo fingers twitched as they braced themselves against the alpha. His own hips moving as he ruts against Kid’s leg as the pleasure lasted a good thirty seconds before Law was coming back down. The alpha still held him up by his thigh and one hand now wrapped around his waist as Law leaned his sweaty forehead against Kid’s shoulder…

When Law was coherent, he found his omega still at the surface, but he was more in control. He felt vulnerable and exposed, but he felt warm and good at the same time. He felt safe as he was still in the alpha’s hold. As it took another minute for Law to notice that Kid cleaned him up and adjusted him back into his pants. And that he was patiently waiting for him as if they weren't at work. Nor was he trying to ask or demand for anything in return,

“Feel better now?” Kid asks with a light chuckle.

As if Law came to Kid in the first place for this!

And how dare he act all normal like he’s done this a thousand times!

This has Law becoming flustered as his sass came right out,

“I didn’t come to the bathroom for that. Nor did I go to you in the first place for something sexual.”

Law realized a moment too late as the words came out naturally---

Yet he finds Kid smiling at this, a happy look in his eyes,

“You just admitted that I’m not only a safe space for you, but that you enjoy my company and like me as a person enough to value what I have to say.”

How the hell did Kid get all of that out of what he said?!

“Don’t push it, you wild beast!” Law sasses away as he gets a burst of energy to leave the alpha’s hold.

But he doesn’t get far as he turns back around and looks at the alpha,

“Did you…completely take off my underwear?”

Kid doesn’t even hesitate to answer, “It was faster to rip it off and not get your pants dirty.”

So now Law has to go commando for the rest of his shift…

Oh the omega doesn’t like the alpha’s feral grin,

“Don’t think this is going to happen again,” Law warns him as he’s telling the alpha to stay away.

But again, Law isn’t moving as he’s literally standing in arm’s reach of the alpha…

All while prior events were running through his mind and he’s becoming flustered all over again. With his scent growing sweet---

“Not so soon anyway,” The omega corrects himself and Kid is beaming.

He’s fist bumping the air and Law is already regretting his life choices. But he can’t deny that he didn’t like what the alpha did. He liked it a little too much. With his omega ready to do more. And Law admits he is curious to know more about that pleasurable feeling that he felt because of Kid. Besides, Kid is the only one he can do this with because of the imprint, so might as well take advantage of it.

Or is that the omega side of him trying to convince him?

Nope, Law doesn’t have time for this. He needs to go back out there and work. As he’s already feeling better now---

For maybe he can keep Kid’s attention on him and keep him coming back to him and him alone---

Oh my fucking---

Nope, nope, he’s not having these thoughts…Not here, not now, not ever again---

“Was it that good that you want more?” Kid’s voice is heard in his ear.

As Law was too busy having an inner turmoil to register the alpha advancing and is flush against his back now. That feral grin felt as Law gets red all the way up to his ear,

“I---I’ve had better!” Law stutters out the lie before he slips up and says something else.

Like how it’s the first time someone’s jerked him off, much less touched himself there!

And Law tries to leave the damn stall, but his legs won’t listen. His body leaning back against the alpha as he frowns in sass. Making Kid laugh at the omega’s cuteness,

“Whenever you’re ready, I’m in no rush.”

Good, because Law is gonna need a minute to mentally get through the rest of his shift.

Especially as Kid keeps doing alpha things like trying to provide him food…and it’s working…

Not to mention, the rumors that have spread while the two were in the bathroom…

Like how Law had been spreading his legs for the alpha to get in between…

Well, at least the virgin jokes stopped and it’s all thanks to Usopp…

And the fact that Luffy was too oblivious to tell anyone that he was in the bathroom with them when said things went down…

Chapter Text

Was it seconds? Minutes? Ace didn’t know as time seemed to stand still. As all he could feel and think of was Marco. With the older alpha slipping a hand up his shirt to feel his muscles trembling underneath his palm. To Marco’s other hand moving to pull Ace’s hand away from the door knob and to his own body. Letting the young alpha do as he pleases. Hoping he’ll touch him back.

And honestly, this was the hottest, most overwhelming thing to happen to Ace. Because holy shit! Marco is making out with him and Ace can’t even think straight to show off the tricks he usually knows. Where it’s like he’s kissing for the first time. His body submitting so naturally as he moans loudly into the next kiss. And Marco isn’t letting up. Not when Ace can’t breathe. Not when Ace is gripping his hips tightly.

Not even when he pushes Ace up against the door, the young alpha cursing in pure bliss---

Because Ace is reacting so beautifully. His face becomes flush as he seeks his lips once more. As he dives back in with such eager energy like he can’t get enough. His hands finally moving up, feeling along his back and shoulder muscles. All while his other hand openly feels over his chest through his top attire. The two having a heated make out that’s steadily leading into groping territory. And don’t get Marco started on how Ace is grinding against him. The sweet friction between their cocks more than enough to show the clear attraction between them.

But the moment Marco pulls back so he can move the younger alpha to the desk to sprawl him out on top of---

The door is being unlocked by someone, the two hearing the sound going straight to their ears.

And Ace is now scrambling to distance himself---

By the time the door opens and Thatch appears, Ace is already ducking his head, grabbing his wet clothes and booking it out of there. All before Thatch can even get out a word…

Also, why is Marco glaring at him like that?

“Um…why does it smell extra…alpha in here?” Thatch had the audacity to ask such a question too.

It only earns him a deadly glare in return…

Oh my god! Ace is freaking out, he’s legit freaking out---

And about to collide into someone as they come out from the hallway---

But someone is moving him back and to the side, as they keep Ace from colliding into them. The alpha realizes he almost ran into Law as Kid keeps it moving, even throwing him a shit eating grin as he heads towards the front entrance. While Law had stopped and stood there in a flustered mess.

“Law---”

“Ace-ya---”

The two let out at the same time, both stopping as they noticed the condition of the other. With Ace picking up on Law’s flushed face and the fact that he left the bathroom with Kid. And Law picking up on Ace’s swollen lips and how his new shirt was all wrinkled and even bunched up on one side that it exposed some of his skin---

“What happened to you?”

Once again, they both let out at the same time. With Ace literally pointing at him before Law is pulling on his wrist to get him to stop. As well as moving them out of the open before the alpha says something he shouldn’t. Especially since Kid would be coming back inside soon. So Law takes him up towards the bar. Where he was going to get Ace into the front closest, but the moment they reach the bar, Nami is calling their names,

“It’s about time! Get your asses in gear! I’m slammed!”

And sure enough, they had a full bar with the tables off to the side jammed packed.

Shit---

The two didn’t get a chance to talk, but it seemed things were ok at the moment. As the two worked in sync and helped Nami with the slew of drinks that kept coming in one after the next. And while they worked, Ace had picked up on how sweet smelling Law’s scent was up close. Especially since it seemed to be attracting more alphas to the bar. With Law not hesitating to use sass and his fierce glare to keep the alphas at bay. But the moment Nami comes from the back and talks about Kid, Law turns into a shy mess,

“What about him?” Law asks as he’s focusing on the task at hand.

Which he’s totally using as an excuse so they can’t see his expression. But they can surely pick up on his scent as customers at the bar comment on it. Though the two were nice enough to ignore it for the moment as Nami talks,

“Don’t act like you weren't in the bathroom with that alpha a while ago.”

“And?” Law sasses as he keeps making drinks, while Ace is curious to know,

“Yeah, what went down?” He asks in an eager tone, until he notices Marco walking about the restaurant.

Nami smirks, her eyes glinting evilly, “From what Usopp overheard the line talking about, is that the player of the restaurant had Law spread out on his dick while bent over the toilet in one of the stalls---”

“Thatch?” Ace thinks of the number one player of the restaurant as he’s only partially listening in.

While Law completely misses the glass that he was pouring the alcoholic drink into and it goes straight to the floor,

“Eustass-ya better not have started that shit,” He warns, while Ace realizes who they were talking about.

As maybe the young alpha should stop being distracted, but Marco was making his rounds and Ace can’t help but stare and want to follow---

“Oh? Are you denying such rumors?” Nami teases as she hasn’t forgotten about the word.

The word she mouths to Law, who instantly becomes flustered, his mouth opening---

But then again, if he went along with these new rumors, Kid won’t know the truth---

Law looks away as he goes to remake the drink so he can reply without faltering,

“First off, I wasn’t spread out like some whore. I demanded him to make me cum and he did.”

Law manages to say it flawlessly but hoo boy was he having an internal meltdown on the inside. Because how in the hell did Kid say shit like this so bluntly?! Then again, he was a player so he’s gotten a lot of practice and been doing it for so long---

Law ends up missing the glass once again as he thinks about Kid doing intimate things with someone else…

The poor customer that was waiting for his drink, doesn’t say anything. Not to Law as the omega suddenly holds a fierce look like he’s ready to murder. You know what, maybe he should cut back on alcohol tonight and just go home…

“So you two did have sex?!” Nami is shocked as it meant Law wasn’t a virgin anymore.

That she couldn’t tease him and now she pouts as that wasn’t fun.

“It’s a natural function between two people,” Law uses scientific terms and yep, Nami rolls her eyes as she walks away.

At least one problem was solved…Oh?

Law takes notice of Ace as the alpha looks longingly at something---wait, it's someone. As Law follows his line of sight and finds it to be Marco. And right as Marco goes past the one wall and out of view, Ace visibly deflates with a pout on his face.

Did something happen between him and Marco?

“Ace-ya,” Law calls out to gain his attention.

But Ace doesn’t answer as he’s zoned out. Already thinking about the event that took place prior. Of that hot moment back in the office that Ace hopes to all heavens that it wasn’t made up in his head---

Law snaps his fingers in front of Ace’s face. Finally gaining his attention as the omega raises one eyebrow up,

“You’re drooling.”

He’s what?!

“I--I am?” Ace stammers out in embarrassment as he goes to wipe his face.

Just to find that he wasn’t actually drooling and Law is giving him a cocky smirk,

“Law! This isn’t the time to tease me!” He whines dramatically.

But Law’s smirk softens into a caring expression,

“I was telling you that you were being obvious.”

Oh shit, Law was actually having his back!

“Damn…I usually don’t slip up this bad,” Ace admits out loud as the two move to make more drinks that keep popping up.

As they let Nami do all the sweet talking for the moment while they finally have the time for this conversation,

“You’re telling me,” Law says about himself.

As he literally lost control of his omega and had an intimate moment with Kid in the bathroom of all places!

“Wait, so you two really---” Ace lets out in a hushed whisper while leaning in closer to Law.

“We didn’t go all the way but uh…he…jacked me off,” Law eventually gets out as he remains close to the alpha so only he can hear.

Ace whistles as he pulls back in awe. Shocked that Law let it happen and that nothing else happened afterwards.

“That’s it? Are we talking about the same Eustass Kid that is known to fuck both servers AND customers like it’s a hobby?”

Law looks visibly upset from hearing those words. As he’s quick to try and move the topic onto something else,

“What about you? You’re wearing a different shirt. Did Marco-ya give it to you?”

At the mention of the alpha’s name, Ace malfunctions into a stuttering mess before he stops talking all together. With his face going red as something definitely happened between Marco and him.

“What did you do?” Law accuses Ace, as he assumes the alpha made a fool out of himself like usual.

“Me?!” Ace lets out dramatically before putting a hand against his chest, “It was him. He---We---”

Ace can’t even get out the words as he’s malfunctioning all over again from the mere thought. As he’s getting these warm and fuzzy feelings throughout his body. His heart thumping away like a love sick fool---

“I’m sorry,” Law apologizes as he’s assuming the wrong thing once again.

Where he’s looking at Ace with a sad and pained expression. Thinking he caused this problem when it’s not a problem at all.

“What? No, it wasn’t you---” Ace tries to tell him but Law frowns,

“I’m the one who accidentally knocked the pitcher on you that soaked your top attire.”

If it wasn’t for him, Ace wouldn’t have gotten into whatever took place between him and Marco.

Which makes Ace realize that his best friend actually got him a moment with Marco---

Law is confused as Ace suddenly clamps hands onto his shoulders and gives him a goofy grin,

“No, I must thank you for what you did. Even if it was a one time thing, you’ve given me something I’ve dreamed of and thought I could never have.”

Uh…

“You’re welcome?” Law is hoping Ace will elaborate.

But yet again, they get interrupted because of work. And trust me when I say, you don’t know how frustrating it can be to be right next to your friends, but work won’t even let you get a word in at times. Even during important moments that needed to be discussed in your life.

At least the two understood this though, so it’s no hard feelings as they had to pick up the pace to try and stay afloat as this night seemed to be endless…

Kid is used to nights like this though. A lot of the time he prefers it, as it makes the time go by faster. But tonight, the alpha wanted it to slow down because he hasn’t had a chance to see much of Law. Not since the bathroom moment between them and it sucks, because were they still on good terms? Was Law faring ok? He knows Law took Ace back up to the bar. And it took everything in him to not pry. But he knows he already made a loud and clear statement to Ace that he did not give a fuck what he had to say about it. Law wanted it, he wanted him. They had a moment. AND, Law said there could be more moments in the future. So he feels like it’s a good sign. Plus, Usopp has already been spreading more rumors about them. As he overheard him telling his friends about seeing them in the bathroom. So yes, Kid made sure to talk loudly enough that Usopp could hear them when he passed by the line.

And so what if he made comments that were very dirty and promiscuous? They’re rumors and Kid wanted everyone in the restaurant to know that he was interested in Law. And that it would be in their best interest to fuck off. So yeah, he might’ve stretched the truth a bit, but not once did he downgrade Law and make it sound like he was just a piece of meat to obtain. He made it sound like Law was the best lay of his life and deserved all the praise. And that Kid would be more than happy to worship that body as they got closer---

“Boss, I think your plan might’ve backfired a bit,” Wire’s voice is heard through the busy rush of orders.

With the constant sounds of the fryer, the oven, the screen letting them know that new orders were popping up, Kid zeros it all out from what Wire said. Though it doesn’t stop him from continuing to make the orders.

“What do you mean?”

For did he miss something or did Wire get information from merely grabbing a drink from the drink station?

Wire looks hesitant to say but he gets an encouraging nod from Heat so,

“Your rumor you started is nothing of what you said.”

Call it the game of telephone that by the time it reaches the last person, what was originally said gets distorted and changed. So what started off with good intentions is now looking like…

It dawns on Kid as he worries of what’s being said,

“Tell me it’s better than what I said,” Kid is hoping for.

But Wire’s expression is not giving him high hopes here,

“Let’s just say, it’s like what they say about all those women you’ve slept with.”

Which is exactly what he DIDN’T want to happen…

“Um, Boss, you’re burning---” Heat tries to help the alpha as Kid stops what he’s doing from hearing such news.

All while Killer shakes his head fondly as he knew this was going to happen,

“Seems your playboy tendencies are coming to bite you in the ass,” Killer states as he plates up food to be put into the window before them.

Fuck!

And Kid hasn’t even been sleeping around recently…in weeks actually, no months---no wait…wow, it’s actually been well over a year. Not like any of his coworkers cared about that. Well, other than these three. But it’s Law that needed to know!

“Why do you always have to be right?” Kid pouts as he tosses the food into the trash as he moves on autopilot.

As he continues to make delicious food, his mind is filled with thoughts of the omega once more. As he’s unsure of what to do now. Should he go to Law right now and clear the air? Or should he leave him alone since they’re slammed? What if he ruined what they had going though? Then again, did Law even care? It’s not like they’re together---

Ouch, that one hurt to think about…

“I got the scoop guys! Nami told Vivian and then Robin told…”

Kid perks up at this as what do you know, one of the servers is standing on the other side of the window, and talking about the rumor,

“Apparently, Law just confirmed that they did have sex, but he’s the one who had Kid down on his knees and demanded the alpha to make him cum.”

Excuse me?!

Killer drops the plate he had in his hand as Wire accidentally tosses the fires from the basket onto the floor. And Heat is cackling away as there’s no way the rumor got this way out of hand this fast.

And Kid? Oh, the alpha was loving this as his signature feral grin appeared once more,

“I had him coming undone in five minutes too,” He puts himself into the conversation.

The server jumped in surprise as she forgot that Kid was right there and could hear her. Her expression soon going from scared to blushing as she imagined it, before she hurries to grab her food and go.

Now Wire is joining in on the laughter as Killer sighs before he can’t resist the growing smile,

“Seems like Law is into your weird way of flirting,” He teases.

But Kid puffs out his chest all proud and smug. Especially as he keeps thinking about how Law likes him to play this flirting game right back…

“Ace!”

“I know!” He lets out as Nami gets onto him.

But he can’t help it! Marco keeps coming into view and he swears he’s doing it on purpose too! They even locked eyes at one point! And he swore Marco didn’t even blink. But then that meant he didn’t blink either. Is that weird? What does it mean?

How is he supposed to think straight here?!

“Out of the way,” Law tells him gently as he physically moves Ace to the side so he can clean up the glass.

“I’m sorry guys,” Ace frowns as he really doesn’t mean to be making things worse right now.

Nami just lightly huffs as she swears these two boys need to get their shit together. While Law uses the dust pan to dump the broken glass into the bucket next to the sink,

“Whatever it is, leave it for after work,” She says as she moves about the bar before heading out into the busy crowd.

“I wish I could,” Ace mumbles under his breath.

But the problem is currently at work with him…

“Ace-ya,” Law calls out and the alpha turns to look at him.

The two having a conversation with expressions and eyebrows alone. Which is pretty impressive when you think about it. And something only those two would understand what was being ‘said’.

“It’s nothing bad, just…it’s complicated like your situation.”

“But that means something went down for it to get complicated,” Law replies as he’s picking up on what he’s saying.

Because wasn’t Marco straight? Then again, Law thought Kid was straight since he’s only brought women to the apartment. And hearing about the stories of all the women here that he really wished he would’ve ignored---

“Now you’re doing it,” Ace says and Law groans as he wants this night to end.

Fuck men, fuck alphas, fuck Eustass Kid---

“Here.”

Speaking of…

Law had turned to try and get back to his duties, but found Kid approaching him behind the bar with a drink in his hand. One that he simply holds out and Law instinctively takes before the alpha turns around and leaves like it was nothing.

Even Ace was confused as he comes closer,

“What did he bring you?”

And Law smells it before taking a sip, “It’s just water.”

Silence falls between the two as they continue to stare at the cup. Though with Law having a taste, he suddenly found that he was thirsty. So he guesses he’ll make use of the water and decides to drink it.

“He’s a strange alpha,” Ace comments like he’s normal himself.

Like how the next second, he pinpoints Marco through the crowd as this had to be his tenth round in a span of five minutes---

“Hello?! I need five margaritas, one tequila. You better already have that damn whisky on the rocks ready ten minutes ago. And I swear to god if you tell me we don’t have three and a half limes up here to squeeze into that tequila, I will scream,” Nami’s voice is heard interrupting their moment.

Shit…

Finally! FINALLY! No more customers, the bar is closed and now they can clean up and go home!

Except Ace has yet to return with the cleaning supplies and Nami is already bitching about it.

“Yeah, yeah, like I have him on some invisible leash, that if I pull it, he’ll come running back to me,” Law sasses as he walks off to go find Ace.

Just to find Kid right there, this time with a plate in his hand.

Oh no, not again---

Yet Law can’t even tell him off as he instinctively takes the plate from Kid and the alpha is already heading back into the kitchen.

Like how does this alpha affect him so damn easily?! Ah, right, the imprint…

Law gets frustrated because no, dammit! He doesn’t need an alpha to bring him shit. He can take care of himself, thank you! And he sure as hell didn’t need Kid to bring him a fancy meal that looked delicious and---

Fuck is he hungry…

Is he eating it?

Kid just needed to take a peek to make sure---

“Where is Ace and why do you have food?” Nami asks as Kid takes in Law sitting down in one of the booths.

“Cause I’m hungry and if you want Ace so bad, go find him yourself. The mess can wait a minute,” Law replies as he takes another bite.

It’s either because he forgot to eat earlier or their food was actually pretty good. Either way, it’s in no way due to the fact that Kid made it personally---

“Do I need to cook you something else?” Kid’s voice is heard right next to his ear.

Making Law instantly react. The sass coming out even though he’s growing red,

“Fuck off, Eustass-ya.”

But of course it only makes the alpha come closer as he slides into the booth across from him. Law noticed that Kid had a plate of his own food that he set down in front of himself. Making this look like some sort of date---

Ok, the omega part of him really needs to stop now…

“Who said I liked your cooking?” Law lightly bickers as he continues to eat.

Trying to distract himself from thinking more thoughts and remind himself of who this person was before him. You know, before the imprint, before his omega side started coming out…

He’s failing as he’s already gotten to know who Kid was after the fact…

“You can’t play dumb now,” Kid banters back with a chuckle as he stuffs his face.

And before, Law used to think Kid was some barbarian when he did things like simply eating. And now he’s still a barbarian, but he’s also a handsome, gentle giant, who actually cared to make sure he ate and drank fluids.

Why is his heart reacting to that?!

“You’re the dumb one,” Law says and wow, even he knew that was a stupid comeback.

It just has Kid grinning away as he looks right at him. Law feeling that heated and intense gaze that he eventually caves and meets it,

“I see you’re having a hard time hating me.”

Oh, he’ll show him---

Except when he goes to throw the plate, he remembers the yummy food on it---

So he takes another bite and huffs instead. His eyes looking down at the table fiercely as if he could take his misery out on the table instead.

God, Law was too cute…

“Don’t cook for me again,” Law tells him but Kid takes another bite of his food,

“I do what I want.”

Oh the way this alpha can rile him up in seconds---

“Aren’t you supposed to fine-dine the girl before you try to get in her pants?” Law throws that jab out there.

Because yes, he’s jealous and he’s trying hard to not fall for the bullshit that this must be. Why else is Kid being so sweet to him and trying to provide for him the moment after they did something sexual?

At least, this is what his mind is telling him as his heart is guarded. But his body is all for this and the omega side of him keeps telling him that the alpha likes him.

Yeah, he probably does like his body…

“You’re not a girl and I don’t want you to be,” Kid says as he gives him a confused look.

Because why is he comparing himself to a woman?

And Law thinks Kid is saying it like the omega was less than that and he didn’t need to give such effort. His point proven---

“Nor have I ever taken a girl out on a date or cooked for her for simply hooking up,” He tells him straight up.

Letting Law know that if it was merely sex between them, he didn’t do shit other than fucking.

Wait, no, now that confuses Law more, because then what are they? What moment did they have? He may be a virgin but they had gotten intimate. And now they’re eating together…

Kid finishes his plate before standing up. Law thinking he’s going to be left in his thoughts until he finds the alpha leaning in to whisper,

“What we had earlier was merely an appetizer, babe. If you want to continue this, dessert will be waiting for you once I close the line.”

The alpha didn’t have the right to say such a thing and in that deep voice of his!

“Yeah, like what?” Law dares to ask.

Thinking Kid is all talk but damn if he wasn’t a smooth talker by how he comes back with,

“I want you spread out in the backseat of my car as I eat you out.”

Law shivers, biting his lip to stop the moan trying to escape as he can imagine what those words implied. As his omega was trying to head to the surface so he could climb the alpha right now. But Law grips the table, willing himself to remain in control as he has to remember that Kid is a player. He can’t let the alpha see how much he affects him.

Yet the omega wasn’t about to say no and turn this chance down,

“You better not be late in closing then or I’ll leave your ass here.”

There he said it without sounding needy and desperate. Yes, he’s in control here, not this alpha.

But pulls back to lock gazes with him, his eyes flashing of his alpha and fuck is it doing things to Law. Especially, as Kid backed off, taking both their empty plates before practically running to the back.

Now leaving Law to himself as the omega couldn’t even move due to his legs becoming like jelly…

Yet luck doesn’t seem to be on his side because why in the hell did the dish machine have to break tonight of all nights? And they already sent home the other dishwasher so Kid was stuck having to help as he’s head of the line.

“He’s probably already gone,” Kid mumbles under his breath as he angrily puts up the last of the dishes.

The guys even helped to clean the line in record time so Kid could get out at the same time the bar got done. And though Killer stayed to try and help the dish process go faster, there’s no way Law had stayed since they finished the bar well over an hour ago.

“Things will work out if it’s meant to be,” Killer comforts him as he lightly pats his back while they head to the front.

Thatch met them at the entrance, which was weird. They thought he left and it was Marco’s turn to close for the night? Whatever, Kid didn’t care as he was bummed for the night and ready to go home.

With a nod to the dishwasher and Thatch, Killer and Kid walk the opposite direction as they had parked their vehicles on the other side of the building. And right when they round the corner---

No way! No fucking way!

Kid perks up instantly as he spots someone lying on the hood of his car. One leg out, the other bent at the knee, with hands stuffed in his hoodie as the person stared up at the night sky.

Trafalgar Law was still here! He waited for him!

And that thought alone had him giddy with excitement that he took off. Running towards him before he makes an absolute fool of himself. As he trips on the curb and busts his ass right in front of Law as the omega definitely noticed…

But it actually works in his favor as he’s propped up on the hood of his car with Law providing first aid. As everyone else left, Killer made sure he was good, but Law went right into doctor mode. And as Kid watches Law up close like this, the moonlight illuminating his handsomeness and cuteness, Kid can’t help himself.

Not when Law was touching him with such care along with that added sass in his voice…

Not when he could only feel Law’s warmth over the pain of scraping his arm as he bandaged him up…

Not when his heart was beating like this and it felt right…

With the urge to do something so stupid as he can’t help himself---

Kid leaned in to kiss him, though realizing halfway through, that he darts to kiss his cheek instead. But it was a kiss regardless. One that had Law reacting in seconds…

As he punches him right in the face before trying to leave…

Chapter Text

He should’ve left. He should’ve gotten on his bike and left this alpha in the dust. But no! All because he actually wanted to hang out with the male. And maybe he was looking forward to what he had insinuated back there in the booth.

Yet the alpha had to ruin it by trying to take his first kiss!

Not that Kid would know that piece of information. And Law wasn’t about to stick around so he could find out---

“Trafalgar wait,” Kid demands as he jogs up to him.

Stopping the omega’s fast strides by pulling on his arm and having him turn to face him. With those eyes still ablaze with intense emotions despite the redness on his cheek from the punch. Where it’ll no doubt bruise---

“I’m sorry.”

Huh? Did this alpha just apologize after being hit? Did he bang his head on the hood of the car?

“I…fuck, look this isn’t how I imagined things to go,” Kid starts and Law raises an eyebrow at this,

“How did you imagine this would go?”

Kid lets go of Law’s arm now that the omega isn’t trying to leave. And is now becoming embarrassed as he knows his face is warm and not just from the punch Law gave,

“I thought it would be a lot hotter and I’d look sexy in your eyes, before we had another moment like we had in the bathroom. But then the dish machine broke so I had to stay and I thought you would’ve left with Ace---”

“I’m not obligated to leave with him. We drive separate vehicles like you and Killer-ya do,” Law interrupts.

Just because they room together and are best friends, doesn’t mean he can’t have moments without him. He has a life too just like Ace does,

“In fact, Ace-ya took off and left the breakdown to Nami-ya and I. But even if he hadn’t, I would’ve stayed regardless, because you said you wanted to meet up after close.”

In no way is it because Law wanted to spend time with him. Though in a way, Law was implying it without actually saying it. And it’s the omega side of him’s fault. Even though Law knows he doesn’t dislike Kid’s presence at all.

This has Kid perking up as he holds his hand out for Law to take,

“Then can we start over?”

Is he five? And why is it working on him?

Law becomes shy, but he reaches out to touch the alpha’s hand,

“Fine,” Thinking he must want to shake it on it or something.

Yet he finds the alpha actually taking a hold of his hand to pull him back towards his car,

“Let’s go back to playing doctor and patient,” Kid lets out like an excited child.

Law snorting because really? He’s into that type of play? But the omega soon realizes that Kid said it to get him to laugh and it worked. As Kid meets him with a big grin before sitting down on the hood of the car, patting the spot next to him.

“You sure it won’t cave under your weight?” Law is curious to know as Kid makes himself comfortable,

“This car has been through high speed chases, a stand off, car jacking and so much more. I think it can handle my ass for a few minutes,” Kid says as Law gets on to lay down beside him.

“Who owned this car before you?”

For he knows it’s an older model, but it looked like it used to be a fast, nice car back in the day.

“My Dad.”

Law stops looking at the car and looks towards the alpha the moment he heard how Kid said it. As he now takes in the alpha tapping a hand over the hood of the car with a caring motion. An expression on his face showing how much he loved his father.

“Tell me more about it,” Law encourages as he wants to know more.

As it makes him think of his own father and how he tried to follow in his footsteps so he could remain close to him even though he was gone.

“For starters, it’s old and a piece of shit,” Kid begins as he’s upfront but holds a smile regardless,

“I agree, it’s hella old,” Law smiles too, “But I can tell you’ve been taking good care of it.”

“If you only knew the ups and downs I’ve had with this car. And I still wouldn’t trade it for anything else. I’m the only one allowed to work on this car, the only one who can drive it and I don’t let just anyone in it either. And no, it’s not because it’ll fall apart at any second like my Mom keeps insisting. I’m pretty handy in mechanics and I like tinkering with things, so it’s a perfect project that’s ongoing. And something I can’t let go of, even though my Dad retired it long ago. It’s the first car he gave me in a way. For he told me if I could fix it and make her run again, then it was mine…”

He just never had the chance to do it until after his father passed…

“Then those rumors about you having sex with women in your vehicle…” Law brings up and Kid laughs,

“Ain’t no bitch allowed in here for that. You gotta be special,” Kid says the last part as he locks eyes with the omega.

As he gets serious, that wild and passionate look in his eyes. Where it causes Law’s heart to start beating that crazy rhythm. As Law wants to believe him, but he could be fucking with him. He could be saying it just to get closer to him. But why would he lie about it? Kid’s never lied to him before. He’s always been straight forward. Hell, he’s never actually seen a woman get out of his car before either. But then again, he doesn’t want to keep thinking about it because he’s been in and out of this car. Where they’d had moments that weren't even sexual…

Law’s eyes dart down to Kid’s lips as his mind goes right to the kiss. Why did the alpha try to kiss him? Did he kiss others so freely too? Or was it just him?

Fuck, no, he needs to stop thinking. It’s getting too deep, too dangerous. Making all these feelings and emotions to become stronger as they go round and round, trying to mess with his heart next---

“What are you thinking about?” Kid asks out loud as he stares at the omega.

As he takes in the raw expression on Law’s face…

And Law should stop this; he should’ve left. He should’ve pushed him away. But the imprint, the omega side of him…his heart…

“I don’t kiss those I sleep with,” He comes up with as he’s not as brave as Kid.

He can’t bluntly say what comes to mind. And by saying it like this, surely it’ll stop Kid. That it’ll make Law look like this big bad alpha he used to be. That he’s had plenty of these experiences like Kid and that it doesn’t affect him.

But he’s lying as this affects him so much…

As Kid is not just taking all his firsts…

He’s becoming someone special…

And he’s scared of the outcome…of how it’s going to end…

Yet he doesn’t want this to stop…he craves more…of whatever this may be…

As his heart skips a beat when Kid tells him,

“Good, cause I don’t kiss those I’m merely messing around with either.”

All before he’s moving in closer, Law’s breath hitches as his hands come up to brace against the alpha’s chest. The alpha stopping right there, faces mere inches apart. Noses brushing as Law can feel his breath against his lips,

“You can let go. I’ll catch you,” Kid tells him as he can tell Law is shy and hesitant.

As he waits until the omega calms down under his touch. For he may not know that it’s Law’s first kiss or that he doesn’t know how to kiss at all. But he does know Law is going through changes of his body as he’s been fighting with his omega. So Kid is here to coax him out, to help him let go and be him. To not be scared as he wants to see all of him and to let him know that he’ll still be there to guide him through it all.

“What if I go too far?” Law can’t help but ask.

And Kid meets him with a gentle smile, those eyes never wavering,

“Then I’ll dive deeper with you.”

As he’s ready to take it as far as Law wants to go…

Even if they end up crashing and burning in the end…

Kid will make sure to pull Law out of the fire…

And it’s here underneath the moonlight where Kid takes Law’s first kiss. Leading him slowly, guiding him into another…and another…

With Law’s omega being coaxed right out, the alpha keeps him grounded as he clings. Tattoo fingers running through his red hair, the kiss growing more passionate. Becoming heated as Law lets out needy sounds, both becoming hard as it’s felt between them. The alpha caged him in, slowly grinding down on him, making Law moan louder. Kid eating up the sounds as the omega’s scent fills the air. As he can feel their pants becoming wet from how turned on Law was. As slick was no doubt coating his ass and thighs where no underwear was in the way to stop it from overflowing.

“Eustass-ya,” And the way Law was calling out his name.

All before he’s seeking his lips for another kiss…

All before Law finds himself in the backseat of Kid’s car, legs spread with the alpha in between…

Law had heard about how good it could feel for an alpha getting intimate with an omega. But never the other way around. It was always about providing pleasure for the alpha and yet here Law was, experiencing such bliss.

Such mind blowing pleasure…

“Fuck…” Law curses as no ounce of shyness was to be had at the moment.

Not when his body was on fire with pleasure pulsing from down there.

And all from a skilled mouth and tongue---

“Eustass-ya!” Law moans as he tilts his head back, nails digging into the backseat.

His one tattoo hand threads through Kid’s red hair, tightening at one point as his body jerks. Muscles contracting as he’s sprawled out in such a breathtaking way. Thighs quivering between those broad shoulders that hold him open, as the omega wants to subconsciously clamp his legs together. The pleasure rises as Kid is eating him out like a feast---

“Alpha…wait! I can’t---it’s too much…” Law lets out in a moaning mess.

Panting in between his needy sounds as Kid doesn’t let up. Making sure that the omega is feeling it as they’re both getting off on it. As Law feels two fingers slipping in at the same time as his tongue works wonders---

“Fuck…fuck…fuck…” Law is a writhing mess.

His lower half keeps trying to rise, his cock steadily leaking precum at the head. His hips are trying to move so he can grind against the alpha’s face. And it’s driving Law crazy from hearing the aroused sounds Kid lets out in response. To the loud groan as Law pulls on his hair. To the low growl as Law tries to smother his face with more slick.

And Kid is definitely getting drunk off of Law’s scent. His slick tasting just like a dessert as it’s addicting and his eyes are fully red of his alpha. Yet Kid doesn’t stop to take care of himself as his cock strains against his pants. No, he’s here to send Law straight to heaven…

It’s no wonder so many women sleep with this alpha. How so many must fall right under his spell…And Law can’t blame it solely on the imprint.

Not when his heart was reacting too…

“Feel…too much…don’t…alpha…can’t…” As he’s getting closer to the edge.

But he’s also scared of these strong emotions, his one hand clinging to the seat for dear life as he whimpers---

Until he feels Kid reaching out to take his hand and it has Law’s heart reacting even more. As the alpha was being very passionate, but also so gentle with him, as he helps Law go right over the edge. With Law gasping, eyes squeezing shut as his body begins to convulse. A drawn out moan is pulled from him next as Kid has his ride the wave of his orgasm. The pleasure completely taking over as he comes undone, with pieces of Kid filling up Law’s heart…

Once again, Kid doesn’t ask for anything in return. And Law had blacked out from the pleasure long enough that he’s already cleaned up and dressed. But the omega tries to stay awake because surely he can do something in return. Yet the alpha doesn’t help as he places another spare hoodie over him. That with his body feeling all warm and gooey on top of being surrounded by the alpha’s scent, yep, Law was out like a light. With the alpha driving him home without a second thought.

And this is how Law woke up in Kid’s bed for the first time…

Where the omega grows shy from the fact that they’re cuddling…

But then becomes naughty as he feels Kid’s boner right against his ass…

He’ll just blame it on the imprint later…

Chapter Text

It takes a second for Law to wake up as he doesn’t understand why he’s awake in the first place. He’s all nice and warm and wants to snuggle back into it---

Until he feels an arm wrapped around his middle and moving him back---

Back onto something hard and warm and he’s not talking about the solid chest against his back either….

Law finds himself awake now, his eyes taking in that he’s in Kid’s bedroom, on his bed, with said alpha cuddling with him.

This was not happening right now!

Oh, but it was, as Law goes completely still with his mind racing. What does he do? How does he get out of this situation?

A light snore is heard behind him as Kid has his face buried into his hair. And that’s a good sign as it alerts Law that the alpha was still asleep. But how the hell did he end up here in the first place?! Oh yeah, he fell asleep in the back of Kid’s car. And though they live right next door, Kid wasn’t about to just barge in there in the middle of the night and scare his sister. So it was best to take him to his place, but his bed?

Unless it was actually his fault because he’s known to grab onto things in his sleep and not let go…

Shit, so it’s his own fault for getting into this mess!

Ok, calm down beating heart! It’s just cuddling…in this alpha’s bed…while he has a boner!

Which is also a normal, biological response, especially in alphas…

So why can’t he stop thinking about it? And no, he can’t use the excuse of because it’s poking against his ass---

He should return the favor and take care of it for the alpha, yeah, that’s totally what he should do. At least, that’s what his omega wants to do. Ok, so a little bit of all of Law…

Alright, so he wants to do it!

That should be ok…right?

Law is still a bit shy though, because what if the alpha woke up? What if he sucked at this? It can’t be that hard to do. He’s a male too and he knows the male anatomy, so if he used his medical knowledge, then it should feel good.

Why does his heart have to beat so fast though? And he’s flushing like he’s the one about to be touched!

Law reaches back behind him slowly, carefully, making sure to not wake the alpha as he tests the water. Finding that the alpha was indeed out cold as he manages to sneak a hand in between them and---

Holy shit!

Law’s eyes go wide because this can’t be right…wait…no…holy fuck, it was!

He’s huge! Like girth wise, Kid’s cock was a monster. And with a decent length too as the omega feels him from the head down to the bottom of the base---

A sudden groan is heard as Kid’s hips move, making the alpha rut against him, as well as trap Law’s hand right there. And let me tell you, the omega can’t even fully wrap his hand around this alpha’s cock. Making Law squeeze him out of shock---

Kid’s breath hitches, an aroused rumble vibrating through his chest as his sounds were so close to Law’s ears. And it was definitely turning the omega on.

Thump

Thump

Thump

Law gives another experimental squeeze and Kid’s next groan comes out breathless, his hips jerking up. And now Law is biting his lip, eyes going half lidded with arousal of his own. As he’s becoming less shy and more dominant as he wants to go further. To feel Kid’s cock as he slips his hand inside the alpha’s pants. Feeling how warm his cock was and already beading precum over the fat head, Law’s thumb brushing over it---

“Fuck, babe…keep going…” Kid’s voice is heard.

It makes Law still as he thinks the alpha must be awake now. But soon finds he’s talking in his sleep as his body remains laying there. Just letting Law do whatever he wanted without anyone else having to know.

Including the alpha himself…

Oh this was bad because it made Law want to continue to be naughty. To see how far he could take it even though Kid could wake up at any minute.

The danger turned him on even more…

Law has to bite his lip to keep from moaning with the alpha. As his tattoo hand starts to jerk off the alpha to the best of his ability. With it being a bit of a challenge since he has to do it behind his back---

Unless…

Law removes his hand for a second so he can lift his leg and it’s like the alpha knew subconsciously what he was trying to do. As Kid slots his cock right in between the omega’s legs and the omega gasps at the sensation. Where even with pants on, feeling Kid’s cock slide over his hole and underneath his cock was a pretty pleasurable feeling.

Not to mention that Law’s slick was involved…

And it’s like the alpha can pick up on it as he groans before he opens his mouth to pant. Law already moved his hand back down to jerk him off. But then the alpha’s arm was tightening around him as his hips started grinding. Making Law let out a pleased sound of his own as he found this so hot.

As it felt like Kid was trying to fuck him even in his sleep…

Oh this was bad and Law needed to stop, yet he can’t help but want to go further. His omega side coming right to the surface as he imagines Kid trying to stuff him full of his cock---

He moans loudly and I mean, loudly like a whore in heat. And it makes his cheeks become flush as surely that woke the alpha up. Yet Kid’s hips keep moving slowly, torturing the omega in such a teasing motion of pleasure.

And it makes Law want to feel it against his bare skin…

He wants to feel Kid’s cock slide against his tight heat…

“Fuck,” Law curses breathlessly as he’s fighting with himself.

With these urges he’s never had before. As he feels like a teenager going through actual puberty right now. With the hormones coursing through him and all rational thought gone. Law simply wants this alpha on him, surrounding him, inside him---

Just for a moment…a second…

It’s so stupid but right now, that’s far from Law’s mind as he starts to pull his pants down. Finding that they weren't even his, were they Killer’s sweats maybe that Kid had to roll down on the waist for him so they’d stay? Who knows, who cares, because right now, they slide right off with ease, as Law is left in a spare hoodie of Kid’s.

And his bottom half was exposed with slick coating his ass and thighs…

His cock is hard and standing up proudly against his stomach, his leg bent up after moving back into position. All so he can get Kid back where he wants him. His hole shiny with slick as it oozes even more---

Almost…almost…right there---

Law’s mouth opens to moan once more, his eyes watching as Kid’s cock slots right between. Pushing right into the slick and against his hole before slipping past.

Fuck it really did feel better…

And Law didn’t even have to keep guiding Kid as the alpha subconsciously starts moving his hips on his own again. Grunting and groaning near his ear as he keeps rutting against him. Almost as if he’s trying to get inside of Law himself.

And fuck Law keeps thinking about it even though he shouldn’t…

Where the words are on the tip of his tongue, ready to spill out. Ready to beg and plead. To wake up the alpha and demand him to fuck him. Especially as the head of Kid’s cock keeps pressing right there. Pushing with just the right pressure that if he kept at it, he could push right in---

“Alpha…” Law calls out as he can’t help it.

He’s in his head space, feeling so good, as Kid’s hips pick up pace a bit. The slow grind turns into more determination. As the alpha keeps applying pressure right there before slipping past. Where Law could simply reach his hand down there and make it happen.

Kid would stuff that fat monster right inside too…

Splitting him open and he’d feel so full…

It would ruin him for anyone else…

Fuck, he wants it---

Not even realizing that he’s saying it out loud,

“Please…alpha…want…need it…inside…shove your cock inside…”

Law was a moaning mess, his body trembling with pleasure coursing through him, his cock leaking down his stomach and hip. His one hand clutching the bedsheets while the other held onto Kid’s arm that was wrapped around him. As he swears Kid tightens his hold even more so that the omega was stuck in this position. Forced to take this onslaught of pleasure.

And the chance that his cock would go inside---

Where he feels it, feels the head of Kid’s cock pushing, pressing, Kid’s hips trying---

“Oh…oh fuck, alpha---” As it’s about to happen---

Just for Law to clamp his leg down, Kid’s cock slipped past to be stuck between Law’s thighs. All while the omega finds himself cumming. His body shaking as he moans into the air and cum hits the hoodie and the bed---

But Law finds it doesn’t stop there. Not when he can feel Kid’s hips moving behind him. As he’s grinding in aborted thrusts, the alpha’s cock thrusting back and forth between Law’s thighs.

Like the alpha was fucking him…

It makes Law moan and let out more pleased sounds. His body is all for this as he remains hard and tingly. Like he could cum again in no time if this kept up. And the sounds Kid was making near his ear. The way his fingers were twitching against his side as he kept him in place. To the way he could feel Kid’s cock pulsing and growing thicker, as he knew the alpha was getting close.

He was about to cum---

And he does with the sound of Law’s name leaving his lips---

Thick, white ropes of cum shoots out, coating Law’s thighs and stomach. The bed sheets become a sticky mess as Kid’s hips keep going. Making sure to ride out his orgasm as cum continues to spurt out for a few seconds. The alpha subconsciously rubs cum along the inside of Law’s legs with his cock. Even coating Law’s hole that mixes with the slick.

Almost like another claim of such intimacy…

Until he goes completely still, reminding Law of what he just did, to an alpha that was asleep…

It snaps Law right out of his head space and into shy embarrassment as yep, nope, it was time to get the hell out of here! To get far away from the alpha!

He manages to get out of Kid’s hold as the alpha had loosened the arm wrapped around him and he scrambled to just go. Only stopping to grab his own clothing and things and was out. Thanking everything that it was still too damn early for Killer to awake, much less, his sister. Though it also worked against him because it was dark as fuck. So he thinks he stumbled into the couch, maybe a table too. But he wasn’t stopping until he got outside and hurried over to his apartment door. Where if he bent over, Kid’s hoodie would go up and you’d see his ass and balls. Yet it should be fine because who else would be coming to their apartment door at this hour as he put the key into the door?

Apparently Ace, as the alpha comes up the stairwell in shock with the way he says his name. Making Law jump and drop his keys that he was in no way going to be able to pick up on his own. So he slowly turns around to accept his fate…

Just to find that Ace wasn’t alone and Marco was with him…

Chapter Text

Ace and Law share a look as Marco goes,

“After you, yoi.”

But Law remains with his back to the front door, the keys right next to his foot. As it’s clear his shoes and clothing were in his other hand. You know, another obvious indicator that Marco can see. So he’s doing this on purpose, as he finds this amusing of catching Law in the act. Almost like he was a teenager trying to sneak back into the house but got caught by their parents.

And Ace is actually still shocked because Law has never done anything like this before,

“Nah, I’m good to wait here for the rest of the night,” Law sasses with ease, “Though, you’re more than welcome to tell me why you’re with Ace-ya at this hour.”

See? Law can play this game as he throws it right back into Marco’s face. And this gets Ace to actually talk,

“You were supposed to be asleep,” Ace winces.

Law shrugs before he notices their eyes going down and is quick to not do that motion again,

“Yeah, well, touche’ and yet here we are. So can you help out your best friend here?” As Law goes from sassing to shy pleading.

Ace can’t help but smile at Law being all shy, embarrassed and cute. Even Marco is heard chuckling.

“It’s not funny,” Law looks like a kitten ready to use tiny claws.

“I’m not the one laughing,” Ace says as he comes forward and leans over to pick up the keys.

Before Ace lets out a sound, a hand going to his back as he comes back up slowly. A pained look on his face,

“I forgot about my hips and back. It’s why Marco insisted he walk me to the door.”

Law raises one eyebrow before immediately looking towards Marco. Who has this smug ass grin on his face,

“Don’t worry, my lips are sealed as long as yours are, yoi,” Marco even adds in a wink.

No way---

“Law, your face is making it so obvious,” Ace lets out as he grows shy and embarrassed now.

With the young alpha hurrying to unlock the door. As the next second, he’s pulling on Law’s arm to get the omega inside. With Ace turning to face Marco,

“I um…I’ll see you at work?” Ace is hopeful even with flushed cheeks.

And Marco is beaming, his eyes shining happily as his smile becomes sincere,

“I hope you’ll call me in between that.”

Ace’s heart pounds away as he clings to the door, with his mind blanking, even though he’s trying to find a way to stall. Marco finds it adorable as he takes this chance to lean down and press a sweet kiss to his lips. Ace literally melting on the spot---

“Alright, love birds, before my sister wakes up,” Law lets out as he’s pulling Ace inside.

Not afraid to shut the door in Marco’s face as he gets Ace’s attention. The young alpha perks up as Law flicks on the hallway light so they can stare at each other.

Explain! Law’s face is literally shouting it.

And as Ace starts to reminisce the prior events, he gets this dopey grin on his face,

“I’m in love,” He breathes out with such emotion.

Making Law snort, “I know this already,” As he starts to gently lead the alpha towards the living room,

“What I don’t know is how you two came to be. We thought he was straight and unattainable, remember?”

Ah yes! And now Ace is the one trying to lead the omega towards his room,

“I can tell you all about it---” Until the alpha stops as he notices more about Law.

Especially since he’s this close and not distracted by Marco, he can definitely smell Kid all over Law. And with the way Ace’s eyes go down, down to Law’s legs where he can pick up on the strong scent of slick---

Yep, there’s even slick sliding down Law’s one leg …

Second thought---

“Why don’t you tell me about it while I shower?” Law suggests, with Ace already nodding in agreement.

And now here they are in the bathroom, with Ace sitting on the toilet as the shower runs and Law gets cleaned up,

“It all started with you spilling the pitcher on me…”

Law listens as he takes his time. The hot water running over him as he finds himself nodding along even though Ace can’t physically see him.

“He took me back into the office and then asked what happened between me and you. But I wasn’t upset with you, I was upset that I can’t help you like I wish I could. I know about the imprint, and I knew it was messing with you being close to Kid. Not like I could tell Marco that though, cause you know, best friend code. So I told him there wasn’t any point talking about it cause I couldn’t do anything about it. Yet, I guess he misunderstood what that meant, though I didn’t realize that at the time. So when he said Kid followed you into the bathroom, I tried to intervene…”

Ace had to stop to take a breath because sometimes he can word vomit. And when he word vomits, he forgets he has to actually pause between sentences and breathe. But Law is a pro at keeping up with the alpha, so with one intake of air from Ace, he was ready for the next word vomit.

“He stops me, hand on the door, up close, like those romance drama shows you’d see every now and again. It was so hot though and was totally working on me. As he even let his voice go deep and alluring as he said he could help me with the pain. Again, I couldn’t even think at the time to register what the hell he meant by that. But then he was kissing me and everything went out the window for the moment. As I was not missing out on this chance and kissed back. Didn’t give a damn if I was hallucinating the whole thing. God, it was the hottest make out I’ve ever had too. And no, that one time I was super drunk and made out with that one guy can not even compare to this. Because yes, I know, I said that one was the hottest make out of my life…”

Law had opened his mouth just to bring that up too. As it goes to show how close those two are.

“So we made out while you and Kid had your moment in the bathroom. And thanks to Thatch for interrupting, I booked it out of there. For my heart was in the feels and I didn’t understand why Marco really did that in the first place. Much less, if he wanted to be caught with me. We are technically Boss and employee here. Not like that implies with Mafia rules, but let’s not get off the topic here! I was trying to behave and comprehend what just happened in my mind, but Marco kept appearing in my line of sight too many times to be a coincidence. You were there, you know this. Until things finally died down and I get a text from Marco that he needed to speak to me outside before he left.”

Ah yes, so this is where Ace disappeared off to and now he’d get the answers he was seeking. For he learned why Ace had been acting the way he had as he would’ve been the same way. Especially with how Kid had been kissing him---wait, let’s not get distracted here---

“The moment I got outside, I was grabbed and taken towards the little back alleyway. I thought I was being jumped at first, but no, just manhandled, which was hot as hell. As I see it was Marco when he came into view and boy was he all hot and bothered. Like he was frustrated as he demanded to know what we had going on. I was so lost and couldn’t even think with Marco all over me like that and then that growl he let out, fuck, my legs went weak. All before he kissed me again like he couldn’t get enough. His greedy hands were all over me too, like I wish to feel that again. And I did, but not before he kissed me breathlessly, then pretty much kidnapped me in my own car. As he drove me to his place. But it was all willing of course and he let me text you that I was leaving. Though it made him get so rough and passionate before we could even get into his place. I don’t even know what it looked like inside as he was too busy making out with me as he carried me up the stairs and to his bedroom. And god, let me tell you how many positions this man had me in. He may be older but he definitely knows what he’s doing. It was torturous in all the right ways. All while he tried to get me to spill what was going on between you and me.”

This is where Law stops the shower and grabs one of the towels to dry off before wrapping it around his waist. The curtain being pulled back next as he takes in Ace’s dreamy look on his face,

“What did he want to know so badly about us?”

Ace snaps out of his dreamy daze as he turns to look at his best friend drying off his hair with the other towel,

“Once he basically said it, it clicked.”

Law gives him a look of, ‘continue’.

“He thought we might’ve had a romantic relationship together or that I was in love with you.”

“What?” Law actually stops as he says this.

His face speaks volumes because why in the hell would anyone think that?!

“Trust me, I know. I had the same look. But Marco knew there had to be something so he kept on with his wonderful sexual antics---” Ace is about to get lost in that dreamy gaze again before Law gasps,

“You told him, didn’t you?!”

For no wonder Marco was so calm and collected when he saw him---

Ace looks like his bubble was popped as he starts to hurry and explain,

“Do I need to go back to the part with how he was torturing me? Or the fact that he’s in the mafia and the right hand man of one of the most notorious mafia leaders in the world?! I held out for as long as I could, but there was no way I could’ve made it out alive unless I told him.”

“Dammit, Ace-ya!” Law lets out before he remembers his sister is still asleep.

So it helps Ace out as the omega can’t act on violence at the moment. But he sure as hell put on the sass. As he stepped out of the tub and strided forth to angrily grab the clothes he grabbed from his bedroom on the way to the bathroom. The alpha whining as he begs for forgiveness,

“I’m sorry, Law! I tried, I really did! And if it helps, I felt guilty when he finally let me cum.”

Law’s head whips in his direction, his eyes fierce and lethal---

“But hey! This isn’t a bad thing! It’s actually good that he knows because he can help us. If things take a bad turn he can be there. As well as him telling me that he’ll do some research to see what he can do. So we might be able to break this imprint thing---”

“That’s not the point,” Law cuts him off as he goes back to finishing his routine now that he has underwear on.

“I don’t want Eustass-ya to know,” Law says and Ace understands this,

“I know and Marco promised that he wouldn’t say anything unless it started to interfere with your health---”

“Which is exactly why he shouldn’t know.”

“Come on, Law! Your life and health are what is most important in this situation. It doesn’t affect Kid at all.”

Ace stops as he notices in the mirror of Law’s reflection. Of how the omega got sad from hearing the last part.

“Believe me, I know,” Law states quietly as he finishes putting on his clothes.

As he wishes it did affect Kid like it did to him. As he wants to keep Kid’s attention on him. To keep him away from anyone else. To make it where Kid will want him and only him.

Where Kid will fall for him like he was starting to---

That thought makes the omega stop in shock and Ace can see it. As Law’s tattoo fingers clutch Kid’s favorite hoodie while the omega’s heart skips a beat before pounding strongly…

“Fuck, you’re actually falling for him, aren’t you?” Ace says what his mind is already putting together.

This has Law jerking back into motion as he shakes his head. Like he could stop himself and make them both believe it with saying,

“No, it’s just the imprint.”

Yet it’s not just the imprint. Yeah, he could blame the sexual attraction on it and needing his touch. Or even to liking his scent. But wanting to actually be around him? To hear what he has to say? To liking him as a person? To having his heart reacting and his mind to be filled with thoughts of him?

That’s not the imprint’s doing…

“Law…” Ace gets up as he’s ready to confront the omega.

But Law interrupts him as he suddenly turns to face him. A small smile on his face, that it takes Ace by surprise,

“I’m happy for you though, Ace-ya. This is what you wanted. You’ve been in love with Marco-ya for years now and you finally have a chance with him.”

Ace goes from surprise, to raw emotions, before he decides to experience this moment as Law wants him to. So he’s soon beaming as he takes Law’s hand in his and squeezes,

“It’s thanks to you.”

Law ducks his head as he’s filled with raw emotions of his own, but he squeezes Ace’s hand back,

“Yeah well, I’m glad something good has come from this whole imprint thing.”

Ace’s expression goes soft with sincerity,

“It’s not the only thing. Cause look, I’m able to touch you unlike before.”

Law didn’t even realize until the alpha pointed it out. Where the omega is able to do a lot more things than when at first, he couldn’t. Where Ace had to be a certain distance from him, much less hug or touch him. To actually still be touching him like this. And it’s not just that. For Law has been able to be around other alphas he didn’t know without his fight or flight instincts kicking in.

But is it really due to the imprint?

Or was it due to Eustass Kid himself?

For him being around has helped greatly in so many ways that it leaves Law feeling emotional.

And the alpha doesn’t even know…

“I honestly thought you’d be more opposed to the omega side of you. That you’d hate it and it worried me. But it’s coming to you naturally and you’re not fighting it,” Ace says, as he’s been grateful that it seems like it’s been a smooth transition for Law so far.

“Yeah…” Law lets out as he’s truly thinking about.

As he thought the same things. Where he had such fear and hatred come over him the moment his whole life came crashing down in the hospital. And yet here he was, doing this subconsciously, instinctively. Where he still has the collar on, his scent out and though things in his life are clearly different…

It’s still falling into place like it was meant to be…that everything would be ok…

Fuck, yeah, Law should go to bed now. He must be so tired that he’s getting delirious at this point. Especially as he has the urge to go back to Kid right now and hide in his arms---

“What are you doing?” Ace lets out in amusement as he chuckles.

Where Law was doing something instinctively again and that was trying to hide inside of Kid’s hoodie like some turtle.

“I’m going crazy,” Law lets out as he doesn’t want to leave the safety nest of Kid’s hoodie.

Ace pats the top of Law’s head through the hoodie,

“Crazy in love,” He teases and Law becomes feisty,

“I am not!”

But Ace is already leading him out of the bathroom and towards his bedroom,

“Mm-hmm, why don’t you tell me all about what went down with you and I’ll be able to tell then.”

Law’s head soon pops back out as he looks at Ace like a feisty kitten,

“I’m telling you, it’s the imprint.”

Ace nods, the grin still on his face as he agrees with the omega,

“I believe you. It’s why you hopped on his dick before coming home, right?”

Law’s face becomes flustered at the thought, before the omega is launching himself at the alpha. The two about falling to the floor, as Ace doesn’t remember leaving his bedroom door open. But he’s too busy trying to soothe a feisty omega as he closes the door behind them, before eventually getting Law onto his bed. With the omega already going into detail of what actually went down. And not what the rumors implied.

It didn’t help Law’s case at all when he told Ace either. With Law being all cute and flustered while engulfed in Kid’s hoodie. As his eyes spoke volumes while he talked quietly about the alpha so that no one else could hear his secrets. So no one else could find interest in Kid. But Law gives it all away by how he talks about the alpha. How he says that Kid is nice and gentle. That he can keep up with his conversation even when he gets lost in depth of science or the medical field. That every time they’ve done something sexual, Kid would initiate it first and not ask for anything in return. Until the last sexual encounter was Law starting it. Because the omega wanted to return the favor but got side tracked a bit.

Ace wishes he could record how cute Law was at this moment. Especially when the alpha laughed and said,

“While he was asleep? Won’t it lead to more questions when he wakes up and finds the bed a mess?”

And Law’s face was priceless as he realized this. With the omega ready to go back and do something about it. But Ace is quick to wrap around Law like a monkey. Keeping them on the bed even as Law is about to beg because he’ll die from embarrassment otherwise. Yet Ace continues to hold him, happy that he can do this again. And he knows that Law always falls asleep when cuddling…

Sure enough, Law’s breathing evens out and the omega is out cold. With Ace falling asleep soon after…

It’s the next morning and Killer is curious as he comes down the hallway to find Kid was already up. With the alpha zoning out in the kitchen as he stares at his bandaged arm with a goofy grin on his face,

“I’m taking that it went well last night?” Killer asks as he comes closer.

With Kid lifting his head and the alpha’s expression turns into a feral grin,

“The whole night was perfect, especially when I woke up to Law jerking me off.”

Oh yes, Kid had definitely been awake but pretended to be asleep so he could see what Law would do…

And it seems Killer’s morning wasn’t the only one full of excitement as Lami woke them up as a certain someone had apparently stayed over last night.

“Luffy, what were you doing in my brother’s room?”

Excuse me? Oh hell nah!

Law gets right up, coming out with a sleepy Ace rubbing at his eyes. Leaving the alpha to slowly head to the living room as Law is striding forth on a mission,

“Luffy-ya!” Law is getting onto him now.

As he spots the two in the hallway with Luffy standing in the doorway of his room,

“Ah, Torao! I missed you! I came over last night to see you, but then I fell asleep. And then I woke up hungry, ate food and then became bored. I didn’t want to wake Lami so I went into Ace’s room, found something labeled for you and then took it to your room. But then I fell asleep on your bed.”

He what?!

You’re telling Law that he walked right past Luffy in his bed last night? Wait! He didn’t hear anything did he?!

Luffy is all happy and full of smiles, though he does get this concerned look on his face,

“Wait, no, I had woken up again briefly as I could’ve sworn I heard you. And it sounded like you were in pain, but then it stopped---”

Lami is now growing concerned, until Law clamps a hand over Luffy’s mouth. Ace’s laughter fills the air as he’s definitely awake now. Where Ace knows the ‘pain’ Law was in, as the omega is becoming a flustered mess,

“You shouldn’t have even gone into my room in the first place!”

With Law ready to throw Luffy down the hallway, when the young alpha holds up a box,

“But the gift! It’s from my brother and you didn’t open it yet.”

Huh?

Ace’s laughter stops as he gets a confused look on his face. That is, until he takes in the box that Luffy is holding in his hands.

A box that came from a sex shop days ago…

Ace is now going wide eyed as he’s already shielding Lami’s eyes,

“Wait! Wait! Don’t open that box!”

“Why? It’s one of your cool toys that you have and I want to play with it!” Luffy whines.

But it was a gift for Law so he’s being nice and waiting for the omega to open it before playing with it himself.

Law’s expression changes several times before he snatches the box from Luffy’s greedy hands and flips the flap on the front of the box before clamping it shut. His eyes going lethal as he turns to look at Ace with burning fierceness,

“What is it?” Lami is curious to know but Ace still has her eyes covered.

“It was a joke mainly to lift your spirits and also in case you ever, you know! But I kept it in my room! How was I supposed to know he’d break in and bring it to you?! Law, wait! I’m sorry! Don’t murder me!” Ace lets out as he is slowly moving backwards with Lami.

As he even uses Lami as a shield at one point, all while keeping her eyes still covered of course. And it has Luffy and Lami both laughing at their silly antics. All with Law advancing with the box. A cocky smirk soon forming as he lets out in a very dark, deep tone,

“How about you bend over and I show you how ‘happy’ I am to receive such a gift from you?”

And Law isn’t asking, he’s telling…

Ace yelps before he takes off, Law chasing after him. As the alpha heads right for the front door---

And this is where Kid exits his own apartment, ready to go over there and invite himself in so he can see the omega. Yet, he’s barely stepped a foot out, when he notices several things. One being, Sanji and Zoro are at the door. Another, is that the door is already open and Ace is coming out. All at the same time as Law throws the box at them while shouting,

“I don’t need you or this shit, so stop it!”

Ace goes down in a tangled mess with Sanji and Zoro…

Oh?

Kid can’t help his heart thumping, because was this a love declaration of some kind? Was Law declaring his love for him all while dumping the three?! Even tossing them out as they weren't needed anymore?

“But Torao! Don’t throw it away. We can play with it together!” Luffy’s voice is heard before he appears.

Where he falls right into the tangled limbs of a pile. For he had been looking for the toy that Law threw out like a dog playing fetch. The one ‘toy’ that just so happened to land by Kid’s feet. As the alpha leans over to pick it up. Not even hesitating to flip the flap. Because now Luffy was involved?! What could they possibly be trying to play with together?

And the moment he reveals what’s underneath…oh…the jealousy was strong…

A dildo…a fucking dildo…a rainbow one with glitter at that---

Kid’s head shoots up and he finds himself locking eyes with Law instead of Luffy. Where Law looks like a deer in headlights, before he’s slamming the door shut and leaving all of them out there…

And Kid looks seconds away from murdering this damn dildo…

“Killer!” Kid calls out as he heads back inside.

The four boys are still trying to get out of the tangled mess…

And poor Sanji and Zoro had just come over to retrieve Luffy…

Chapter Text

“You’re telling me my enemy is now this?!” Kid vents as he grips the box while showing Killer.

“I’m trying to eat here, you know,” Killer says with an amused look.

Who knew breakfast would come with a show this morning…

“It’s not funny, Kil. I thought for a second I had gotten closer to Trafalgar! That he was tossing out the literal trash of his boy toys and only wanting me. But now Straw Hat is involved with this?!”

Killer takes a bite out of his food before talking calmly,

“Are you sure you know everything that’s happening? You were just telling me about how it went last night.”

And I mean in very explicit poetic detail…

Kid instantly thinks about last night and he gets this lovely dazed look over his face,

“It went too perfectly, that I thought I must’ve fallen and hit my head on the curb instead of my arm.”

“He was and I quote in your words, ‘Cute, sexy, shy and downright breathtaking in all the hottest ways possible.’ So if he was like that with you, do you really think he’s having threesomes and messing with toys?”

Because Kid made it sound like Law was experiencing a lot of new things. Like kissing and Law being a bottom.

Kid’s bubble is popped as he’s reminded of the others being involved with Law,

“Well he was on suppressants for so long. You even said that firefist didn’t know he was an omega either. So with him acting like an alpha, he could’ve been the top in all of this. And now that his omega is coming out, they want to corrupt him with these things and take control. Where I want to help teach him to let go and be himself. It was already so hard to not lose control when he started doing those things to me. Especially when he’d be mumbling to himself in his cute, sassy voice of how upset he was when I didn’t cum. I want those special moments! I want to be his safe space! He needs to be protected dammit!”

Kid lets it all out in a heated, passionate tone. All while literally breaking the box in two with the dildo split in half.

Wow…that was actually pretty impressive to watch…

“Why don’t you make it official then?” Killer suggests.

Kid freezes as he starts to become flustered. His heart beating strongly at the thought,

“Because I don’t think he’s ready and I don’t want to scare him off.”

As he feels like he needs to ‘beat’ every possible competition and win Law’s heart fully. Or in other words---

“You’re secretly courting him aren’t you?” Killer teases his best friend.

Who instantly goes as red as his hair as he was caught.

“No!---Maybe! Fuck, yes! So what? Call me old fashioned! Blame my parents, I don’t care. It feels right.”

Wait until Kid’s mother finds out about this. Speaking of---

“Hey, aren’t you late in going to see your mother?”

Kid’s expression goes to shock, before he’s whipping out his phone to check the time---

Holy shit! He somehow turned his phone on silent too because he missed several calls and texts from his mother! And it’s all Law’s fault too. Because he was going to go over there and demand the omega spend time with him. As well as his mother actually wanting to see and meet Law herself. And since Kid wasn’t answering her calls or texts, it seems she took matters into her own hands---

“She’s in the parking lot trying to come see Trafalgar! Fuck! He should be waiting for the bus any minute now with his sister too!” Kid lets out as he takes off.

Leaving the broken dildo on the ground as he rushes to get to the parking lot before she does something embarrassing. Like getting to the omega first and telling Law all about his crush on him. Or childhood memories of his that no one but Killer should know about yet. It’s too soon. She’s going to scare Law away!

With Luffy gone thanks to Sanji and Zoro dragging his ass away, Law was left alone with Lami---

And Ace who has been begging for forgiveness for the past thirty minutes now,

“I told you, it was meant as a gag gift to make you laugh! Wait, no, wrong choice of words. Shit! I meant no harm by it,” Ace whines as he’s been following Law around like a puppy.

“Well your ‘gag’ gift is in Eustass-ya’s hands now and there’s no way I can face him,” Law states as he refuses to look at Ace.

As he keeps up his strides, Lami holds onto her older brother’s hand as he walks her to the bus stop. With her looking over her shoulder to see Ace being his dramatic self,

“Please, forgive me! I promise I can make it better. Just trust me---”

“You’ve done enough,” Law cuts him off as he comes to a stop.

The other students were there and watching in amusement of Ace falling to his knees and hugging Law’s leg,

“I’ll do anything!”

Law closes his eyes as he can feel a headache coming on, as well as not wanting to be out here with Ace making a fool out of himself. As everyone is staring at them. But Lami is giggling away as she pats the top of Ace’s head,

“There, there, I’m sure my brother will forgive you.”

Ace sniffles as he stops being so dramatic and takes in her affection,

“Thank you, Lami.”

Law on the other hand,

“Now get up and stop causing a scene!” He sasses as he jerks his leg to get the alpha to let go.

Ace pops right up to a stand next to Law, “Does this mean you forgive me?!” He perks up like a happy puppy.

Law is about to tell him off when the bus pulls up, saving the alpha from getting chewed out. As Law had big brother duties and that’s making sure she had everything and got onto the bus okay. Which she always did as Lami waves to her brother from her usual spot before Law watches the bus drive away---

“Hey, isn’t that Kid at his car?” Ace lets out.

And Law is like, ‘Oh shit!’ as he goes to hide behind Ace. His eyes immediately going in the direction that Ace was pointing in---

But instead of his heart pounding fast, it stills before dropping…

“Who is that woman with him?” Law questions like Ace would know the answer.

“I don’t know, it’s hard to tell with what she’s wearing and Kid keeps blocking the view. But man, she looks like a beautiful woman.”

Way for Ace to make things worse unintentionally!

Though Law was already thinking the same thing. Even with her wearing sunglasses, her face was flawless. And though her hair was tied up with a sunhat on, she wore a pretty dress that showed off her slim, petite figure. That Kid’s tall stature easily covers her from view. But it doesn’t stop Law from seeing how close the two were. With how the two were now hugging, with the two smiling.

A smile Law hasn’t seen Kid make around him before…

“Oh my…” Ace lets out as this doesn’t look good at all.

Not when Kid leans down as she leans up to press a kiss to his cheek. All before Kid is guiding her to the passenger seat of his car. With the alpha opening the door for her and everything like a gentleman!

Ace winces as he turns to gauge what Law’s reaction might be. As he finds Law in utter shock, the omega not even blinking, as he watches Kid get into his car and drive away in the opposite direction.

“Law…” Ace calls out as he gently reaches out to touch him.

As Law is now mumbling to himself,

“He always takes this day off each week…”

Was it for this? For her?

“OK, you know what, we should go back inside,” Ace suggests as Law was turning pale.

But the omega wasn’t budging. Hell, he wouldn’t look away from where Kid once stood. And now Ace is becoming mighty concerned,

“Fuck this, I’m carrying you,” Ace voices as he does just that.

Picking Law up as the omega doesn’t react. As his mind is going round and round with things as he begins to overthink. As his mind puts together that Kid is with someone else and reminding him that this alpha was in fact, a player---

By the time Ace makes it halfway up the stairwell, Law is finally reacting. With his feisty, fierce self coming out in full force,

“That lying bastard! How dare he make me fall for player tricks!” Law hisses as he’s even digging his nails into Ace’s bare skin.

Ace crying out as he struggles to not drop Law as the omega is raring to fight,

“Oh when I see that fucker again---”

“You’re gonna make us fall!” Ace pleads before finally making it to the top safely.

The alpha lets out a huge sigh of relief as he leans against the wall. But this is when Law wants to be put down and the alpha lets him. Watching as Law strides forth in anger---

“I’ll show him!”

Oh? What is he going to do?

Ace follows as he’s curious to know what Law was going to do. As he finds the omega picking up his phone and going right to his contacts. Because yes, he deleted the conversation with Kid so he’d resist the urge to text him. But now that he has a bone to pick with him, ah yes, he’s going to get it---

“I’m going to give him a piece of my mind and ruin his entire day with that woman!”

And this is where Kid is driving in the car with his mother. With Rose taking off her sunglasses as she pouts,

“Don’t think I’m not onto you, mister. The fact that you actually ignored my calls and texts meant you were with that boy again,” She lets out in momma mode.

“Mom! I told you, I forgot to take it off of silent when I was at work last night,” Kid apologizes once more.

Rose is not buying it, “Yeah, because you were too busy distracted by him! I know you spent time with Law after work! I can smell him on you!”

Oh shit! Kid even lifted the collar of his shirt up to smell. As he made sure to shower really well to get rid of any evidence. Especially after using Law’s underwear, that he totally stole to jerk off with, so he wouldn’t follow after the omega and do naughty things to him.

Rose gets a shit eating grin on her face, “Caught red handed.”

“Mom!” Kid pleads in embarrassment.

“Not my fault you fell for it. Now spill and tell me why you won’t let me see him. You gave him my number right? He hasn’t texted me or anything. So all I can go off of is what you tell me. And just like how your father was to me, you’re very protective over him.”

Kid grips the steering wheel with a pout, “I can’t help it.”

Rose’s expression softens as she reaches over to pat his cheek,

“I know, honey. And it’s why I worry because you know how your last relationship went.”

Kid scowls, “She’s not the same. She was also an alpha and a total bitch that I realized once I broke free of her spell,”

Before the alpha’s expression brightens and relaxes as he thinks of Law,

“Trafalgar is completely different. He’s not trying to gain anything. He genuinely wants to know me and likes being around me. He’s currently very shy and innocent with his omega coming out, so it’s why I don’t want to overwhelm him. I’m going at his pace.”

“But I know he can be very feisty and sassy from all the times you’d talk about him,” Rose continues the conversation.

And Kid grins as he thinks of all those times, “He matches my energy perfectly.”

Rose snorts at this before she hears a ding on her phone. Her attention going to her purse that she pulls forth so she can see who it might be,

“I still think I should meet him regardless if you say you’re pursuing him or not. This is a very delicate time for an omega like him. And with you being a passionate alpha, it might cause some problems in the future,” She lets out as she digs her phone out of her purse.

Kid frowns as he becomes defensive, “Problems? What problems?”

But Rose unlocks her phone and pulls up the text, her eyes going into a smirk as she reads out loud what she just received…

A text that wasn’t meant for her as another ding came forth to prove that…

But she knew immediately who it was and who it was meant for,

‘You stupid giant oaf that sprouts bullshit from your mouth. I hope you enjoy kissing her with the same mouth that ate me out last night.’

Kid goes as red as his hair as his mother reads it out loud, word for word, that he almost doesn’t stop in time for the light turning red. As he can’t look his mother in the eyes right now. Not when she has this feral grin on her face and that knowing look in her eyes as she stares at him. With Kid having nowhere to go, until the light turns green and he floors it. As he needed to get out of this car before he combusted from embarrassment…

Meanwhile…

Law is doing the same thing as he realized he sent the text to Kid’s mother and not the alpha himself.

But at least Law had the decency to apologize to her through text,

‘Please ignore, that was meant for your son.’

Oh, Rose was not going to ignore this…
