Chapter Text
Thunk
Kid watched as Law failed to strike the third target down for the 5th time, frustration evident in his face as it screwed up. Silver eyes looking down at the final ball he could throw, Kid probably should have stopped Law from spending 80 dollars on this game some time ago.
But this was very entertaining.
"Told you, ya got noodle arms." Kid leaned over Law as he spoke, resting his chin on Law's head.
"Shut it Eustass."
"Uh huh, how bout you let me try, isn't it more of a date like thing for me to win you something anyway?"
"I don't need your help. I can win this on my own." Law huffed, and Kid backed away as he wound up for another throw.
Thunk
"That went well."
"Shut. Up." Law was gritting his teeth now, entirely fed up and ready to leave.
Kid turned to the game tender, who gave him a curious look. "Let me do one for free and if I can't win anything I'll pay double, sound good?"
"Sounds alright to me young man!" The older guy handed him the four metal balls he would be throwing, and stood back behind his little money case.
Law stomped out of his way and Kid lined up his shots.
First two went down without any problem as usual, it was the third one that was all difficult.
Thunk
"Congratulations Eustass-"
"Still got one throw left, don't say anything until after."
CRASH
Kid and Law both stood with their jaws dropped to the ground, and the man started sweating. Composing himself Kid turned to him.
"Ya know… I had my suspicions…" Kid started, placing his hand onto the counter. "But now that just confirms it yeah? You wanna start talking you old fuck or do I have to beat it out of you. Because that throw sure as hell wouldn't have done that if the target was normal."
The man kept opening and closing his mouth like a fish, eyes wide and fearful at Kids hulking figure.
"I- I well, I-" it was obvious he was failing at finding any excuse for this. "The… the target is nailed down…"
"Some honesty, that's a nice change of pace! Now you listen here." Kid grabbed the man by the throat, not squeezing yet, but still gripping hard enough to really make him panic. "You're gonna give back all 80 dollars, and you're gonna give that." Kid pointed to the plush Law was aiming to win with his other hand. "And then your gonna pack this shit up and leave and if I ever see you again they will never be able to identify your corpse-"
"Kid that's enough!" Law grabbed his arm and yanked him back. Glaring at the man who was frantically pulling the 20s out of his case now that Kid had let go. Practically throwing it at them with the plush as he shut his game down.
Law sighed and picked up the money and plush.
"You didn't need to do that, you've caused a scene." Law didn't seem all that angry, but it was hard to tell with the plush pressed against his face.
"He was scamming you!" Kid could care less about the people staring.
"Whatever, let's just go before someone gets security on your dumbass."
Law dragged him away by the hand, and Kid pulled his phone out to bitch to Killer about the whole thing since Law didn't want to talk about it. But as they neared the exit and Law let go of his hand for a moment, plush still in his arms. Kid just couldn't help it.
"Hey Law! Look at me for a sec."
"Hmm?"
