Chapter Text
It’s the same routine, one that Law found to be quite annoying at first. In fact, one could consider it almost stalkerish, but over time, he found comfort in it.
Though he won’t tell the alpha that…
“You want another chocolate milk?” Law teases as the red head immediately gets riled up,
“What do I look like to you?”
It has Law smirking, his tattooed hand already sliding the glass over to the alpha who takes it right away.
“You’re still in high school---”
“I’m nineteen though!” The male reminds him and Law shakes his head fondly as he leans into the palm of his hand from the other side of the bar,
“Still not old enough to drink, Eustass-ya,” Law counters with a flirty tone near the end as he watches the redhead become flustered.
“I bet I could hold my liquor better than you,” He stumbles out before deciding to chug the chocolate milk down.
Anything to stop himself from looking like a fool in front of the older male.
Law finds it adorable though as he laughs, his smile still on his face even after Kid slams the glass back onto the counter.
Kid goes to say something when Law is flagged down by another customer.
“If you’re still around by then, I’ll hold you to that,” Law says as he pats Kid’s hand before walking off.
Kid grumbles under his breath, feeling defeated as he failed yet again! Law must think he’s some young punk not knowing any better. He’s a horrible flirter for one and how is Law gonna know he wants to be his alpha if he’s failing this hard?! Like who wants to even go on a date with him when he’s not only younger, but was held back a grade in school!
Come on man! Lay the moves on him like you can with the ladies. Which is none because Kid isn’t interested and the women only flock to him because he’s the bad boy type. One glare, growl or smart mouth usually stops them in their tracks. Though they seem to keep coming back for more for some odd reason.
Kid lightly beats his head against the bar top as he wishes he knew how to smooth talk. To show Law that just because he was younger, that didn’t mean he couldn’t be the one.
God, why do having crushes make one act like such a dork? He’s so not telling Killer about how tonight went.
“You’re single?”
Kid’s head pops up, eyes taking in Law talking with the customer, who of course has to ask such a question right off the rip.
You can tell Law is already fed up with this male but he has to be polite due to his job,
“You want the single shot or double?” Law tries to steer the subject but this person keeps going,
“You’re still wearing the collar so you must not have an alpha.”
Law’s professional smile twitches at the corner of his lips, his eyes suddenly becoming fierce that the guy is struck with fear,
“I don’t need an alpha. I can handle myself just fine, or would you like to find out first hand after my shift is up?” Law lets out as he doesn’t hesitate to pick up the small knife used for cutting fruit and twirls it in his hand professionally before moving so fast.
The guy swallows, the knife right there at his throat,
“Now do you want the single shot or double?” Law asks again as he’s not about to repeat the third time.
The guy looks like he’s about to piss his pants, Kid having a hard time holding back the laugh as he watches the guy gripping the counter till his knuckles turned white.
“U--uh, double,” He manages to get out and Law goes from bad ass, back to his professional self.
“That’s what I thought,” He trails off as he moves to make the drink.
There’s no one else in the bar right now except for Kid and the alpha wasn’t about to rat on Law for protecting himself. There’s no cameras in the bar area either so what goes down in the bar, stays in the bar.
Law sets the drink down in front of the guy and waits for the male to drink it. Smirking as the guy’s hand was shaking when picking up the glass. He barely finishes the drink before throwing money up onto the counter and leaving. Law watching with distaste,
“Guys like you couldn’t handle me anyway,” Law lets out before taking the money.
All with Kid watching with such an intense gaze.
“Oi, if you stare any longer, my hair will set on fire,” Law jokes with such sass.
Kid snorting as he doesn’t look away, watching Law count the money,
“You always that sexy when turning down men?” Kid says before he’s even thinking.
Law’s head shoots up, eyes going wide in awe as Kid realizes what he just said before he’s turning red,
“I---uh--shit! I just remembered I needed to drop something off at Killer’s place,” Kid stutters out as he abruptly stands up.
His chair falls over, causing a loud noise as now Kid is red all the way up to his ears. He curses again, picking up the chair and grabbing his stuff before booking it out of there. Law watching the whole display with a fond expression on his face…
“Stupid! Stupid! I’m so fucking stupid!”
“You’re still in the parking lot aren’t you?” Killer’s voice can be heard from inside Kid’s old beat down car.
“No!” Kid is quick to say before groaning as he runs hands through his red locks, adjusting the bandanna, “Yes.”
Killer is heard chuckling and Kid growls, “It’s not funny!”
“It is! Who knew that Eustass Kid, the leader of a ruthless gang could be defeated by a mere crush.”
Kid pouts, “It’s not just a crush though…”
Killer’s laughter dies down as he becomes serious, “He still doesn’t remember you?”
Kid leans back in his seat with a loud dramatic sigh, “I mean we were young back then so he probably doesn’t remember that it was me.”
“True, he only recently moved back right?”
Kid’s one leg bounces as he tries to keep old memories from resurfacing, “Yeah…and to move right across from me too. Like what would you even call that?”
Cause Kid can’t understand it either.
“A lot of people would call that fate,” Killer starts and Kid shakes his head,
“There’s no way that fate would bring us back together like in some rom com shit,” Kid disagrees.
“Well he is your first love is he not?”
Kid doesn’t reply but if only Killer could hear how fast his heart was pounding---
“You’re so obvious man.”
Kid crosses his arms over his chest, “Yeah well I fucked it up already.”
“Because you called him sexy? Or because you’re into some kinky shit?”
“Fuck you,” Kid says.
“Sorry, not interested. Maybe you should go back inside and say that to Law---”
Kid’s attention is taken away when he spots Law leaving the closed bar.
“I have to go, he’s outside,” Kid says before he hangs up the call.
He’s about to hop out of the car and call out to him when he spots someone pulling up. Kid stops, watching as Ace pops his head out of the window to greet Law. Law’s expression lights up, turning into a soft look as he fist bumps with the alpha,
“Did you miss me, Law?!” Ace can be heard all the way by Kid’s car as the alpha is always so carefree.
Law fondly shakes his head as he playfully pushes Ace back into the car, “It’s your fault I suffered tonight. Calling out at the last second, you’re lucky you’re dating the general manager of the bar.”
Ace is laughing away as he props open the door for Law to get in, “Luffy waited until the last second to tell me about the school meeting I had to attend.”
“What did he do this time?” Law is heard asking before the door is shutting and Ace is pulling off and out of the parking lot.
Kid deflates, his chance gone again as he starts up his car and heads on home. Knowing the torture wasn’t gonna stop here…
And it doesn’t, especially as he’s in his own bedroom when he sees the light come on across the balcony. Right away, it draws his attention and there Law is entering his room after spending time with his roommate Ace.
One would think that Law would have the decency to close the damn curtains when he knows he’s right across the balcony from him. And yet Law just casually takes off his work button up, showing off more of that golden skin and tattoos. Teasing him in such a manner as Kid swears the omega is moving in slow motion. Making sure Kid can take in everything to detail that is surely gonna end up in his dreams tonight.
Law is unzipping his pants, the low v of his hips showing off before he finds those hands stopping and going up. Kid follows, his gaze soon locking with the omega’s and realizes he’s been caught.
Law gives a wink, a growing smirk forming before he’s finally grabbing the curtains and closing them.
“Fuck,” Is all Kid can say as he not only has a boner, but his heart is pounding away…
Did this mean Law was flirting with him?
