Chapter Text
Kid groaned as he carried the box down from the attic, his body protesting the heavy item on his shoulder as he made his way down the steps. Setting it down only for a moment before picking it back up and taking it to the living room where he intended to pick through the contents.
He stretched his arm up afterwards and took the box cutter that was sitting on the coffee table and opened up the unlabeled box. Just as Law got back from his shift at the hospital.
"What do you have there?" Kid looked up at his husband, still as gorgeous as ever even after 10 years of knowing each other.
"I'm not sure yet, just opened it up, and no it's not labeled I checked." The wrinkles that were starting to show in his smile made Law look so much gentler than usual, and Kid could honestly stare for hours at him just marveling every inch of skin. He probably did that at some point actually, maybe some 4 years ago during their honeymoon when they finally took their time in the bedroom and really learned the other.
"Must be one you put together then." Kid huffed at his comment, childishly sticking his tongue out at him.
"Well you wanna take a look together? You've been up on your feet all day, and this would at least let you sit."
Law joined him on the couch and Kid pressed a kiss to his cheek, finally opening the flaps of the box.
"Huh, maybe this was one I put away," Law laughed as Kid took on an uncharacteristic sheepish tone. "You'd remember to label books."
"You know I'm always right," Kid let out a laugh at that one. "What's so funny?"
"You weren't right about the coffee maker."
"Do not bring that up now! It's been 8 years and I apologized didn't I?"
"Yeah yeah you did, I'm just teasing you." Kid pulled out the first book. "Oh wait a minute, these are…"
When he opened it his suspicions were confirmed. It was a photo album, Law had insisted on printing out photos some time ago, but they never were able to find the albums after they moved, well that's a mystery solved now.
"Oh, isn't this from our first date?"
"It is." In the image Law was holding a stuffed cat Kid had won him, well more threatened the lying conning asshole running the target game to give him after they found out one of the targets was nailed down, thanks to Kid throwing the ball hard enough to make a hole clean through the center.
"Oh that poor conman, I don't think he ever came back after the scene you made."
"Don't feel sorry for that asshole, you got the plush didn't you?"
"Mmhm." Law held up the photo and seemed to look at it for some time. Before setting it back into place.
"Hey this one is when you first moved in with Kill and I!" The three were standing in front of what was now just Killer and his son's place. Boxes surrounding them and a smile on almost all of their faces. Killer was still wearing the mask damn near every hour of the day back then.
"Remember when it was strange to see him without the mask? Now it's strange to see him put it on for memories sake."
"Eh, I've seen both sides of that already, give him another ten years He'll be back to wearing it all the time again." Law chuckled and Kid flipped through a few more photos, before landing on one that made him give just the softest smile. "Hey, Law. These are from our wedding day."
In the photo Law was standing to the right and Kid to the left, Kid was so glad Law was immortalized in that stunning suit before his adoptive father accidentally ruined it by spilling both himself and Law into a mud puddle.
"You've always looked good in a Kilt. You should wear one again sometime soon babe."
"You're just saying that because of my yellow one."
"Well you looked good in it."
Kid smiled and Kissed him, just a quick one to let him know that he heard.
"Oh this one is when you just came out of your surgery!"
"Oh my god you took a picture of that?! I look like shit!"
Well it was true Law didn't look great physically, the beaming smile on his face combined with the wrappings on his chest was such a perfect moment, Kid just had to immortalize it.
"Nah I think you look fine, besides that surgery was important for you, even if you complained to me for hours about having to wait to fix up your tattoo."
"Yeah well… oh. Hey look, this is when you first held Keegan."
"Oh, maybe I did cry…" In the photo Kid was holding his God son, Killer standing nearby with an exhausted but warm smile, Kid and Killer both had tear stains on their cheeks, and looked all too exhausted to be there, but still happy about that little one.
"It's fine if you couldn't remember, it was like, one in the morning when he was born. God that was almost-"
"3 years ago now."
"Yeah…"
He and Law went through the other album's, reminiscing on days long past, Kid holding up a photo of around the time he and Law really started talking, comparing how much he's changed.
Law's age showed, just at his temples was several streaks of grey, wrinkles just barely showing, and he needed glasses in every instance to see things, but so much stayed the same, like the tattoos on his hands and forearms, and the way his eyes lit up when talking about various medical procedures and problems to the residents.
It's not like Kid hasn't changed himself, it was just a lot more with how he acted rather than any drastic physical change, minus him losing his arm. He still painted his nails with Law's help, still wore his makeup, still had those same punk clothes, but he really mellowed out over the years. Hardly the same brat he was that used to pick fights for fun and pocket the spoils.
"Hey, you think we should renew our vows? Like I dunno, this coming anniversary?"
Law leaned in and kissed him. "Sure, but you gotta wear the kilt."
"Still on about that?"
"Obviously, seeing that picture reminded me of how much I like that on you."
"Yeah yeah, you really don't let things go when you want them huh."
"Obviously."
They both shared a laugh as Law got up to get them something from the kitchen, Kid following and resting his chin on the top of Law's head. He didn't know what he did to deserve the life he had now, but if he could, he would thank whatever god was out there for giving it to him.
"Hey Law, I love you."
"I know Kid, I love you too."
And he leaned down to Kiss Law again, whatever Law came to the kitchen for temporarily forgotten, as they stood softly kissing, enjoying themselves without any rush.
