(A/n)
Finishing stories is always a challenge for some reason???? This chapter took me a good three days to figure out but I'm happy with how it turned out.

The house was unnaturally quiet. Or maybe you'd grown accustomed to having the guys over all the time and now it was weird that they'd gone back home, content that your family wouldn't be coming around to hound you anymore. Wire stuck around at least, mostly because you didn't like the idea of waking up without him there. Nothing sucked worse than waking up expecting him to be beside you only to find a cold, empty space instead.

If you listened hard enough, you could hear him in the living room now, talking on the phone with Heat. You decided to busy yourself with some laundry that needed to get put away while he was stretched out on a couch. You were pretty sure he was liking the quiet time and you were taking the time to think about the past few days. It was easier to accept now.

After you'd sent Peros proof of your tests, he never sent you a message back or called but Katakuri kept you updated. He was having a hard time accepting it but at least he didn't flat out ignore you. You decided he had to be torn with the knowledge that you couldn't do anything to benefit the family and that you couldn't do anything about your condition. He understood it wasn't your fault and if given time, you were pretty sure he'd warm back up to you. Though, the relationship would never be quite the same.

Your mother refused to deal with you personally so Katakuri was also working as the middle man, telling you whatever she wanted to communicate and then giving her your responses. It was very childish but she was stuck in her ways and no one was going to make her act more like an adult. Either way, you wouldn't be disowned, as you expected, but anyone who would listen to your mother wouldn't deal with you. That was most of your family but that made it easy to tell who you could count on at least. So far that was just Cracker and Katakuri.

Strangely enough, getting a set answer didn't stress you out. Even with everyone pretending you didn't exist, you felt more at ease than ever. Doflamingo was now out of the picture and furious about it. Cracker was able to tell you he wasn't being offered any of your other sisters instead and that made you happy. As terrible as they were being, none of them deserved having to put up with him. All the time Doflamingo had spent getting on your mother's good side so he could marry into the family had gone to waste. And that was one hell of a silver lining.

Best of all, you were finally free to do what you wanted without the threat of your family looming over you. Being ignored by them meant you had the green card to have the time of your life. Not that you needed their okay for that but still, it was nice. Aufork would continue to be home for you, Wire would still be your lover, and you'd get to spend your days with your friends.

Garp and Smoker had gotten the full story and were glad to see you wouldn't be having any more problems. They even knew you'd be out for a while in the future to get that surgery you wanted done. They were almost as supportive as Wire and the gang were about it. Things really were beginning to feel right.

You found yourself smiling as you thought of the endless possibilities. There were so many things you could do now and it was exciting. You folded a pair of Wire's jeans up and tossed them to the side of the bed, grabbing one of his mesh shirts. It was his black one, which you noticed was his favorite. He wore it more often than the others at least.

His voice rose and fell in the other room as he spoke and you couldn't help but feel curious how he'd feel if you tried one of his shirts on. Just for shits and giggles.

You stripped off your shirt and pulled his on. It hit low on you, about mid thigh and while you could admit it was an interesting look, you felt like you'd need to lose a bit more clothes to have a fun effect. Your bra came off along with your pants, leaving you in nothing but panties and the mesh top. The best part was the panties matched. They were a soft, black material that blended in nicely. If this didn't do it for him, you were sure what would.

It'd been a while since you'd had gotten intimate like you usually did and now you were beginning to think you could coax him into a good time. Sure you'd still found time together in the bedroom despite all the stress caused by your family, but everything was very vanilla. It was mostly for the sake of the other guys since they were staying with you temporarily. Keeping things tame kept you a little more quiet. And now you were itching for something more intense. Wire had spoiled you with his tastes.

You grinned to yourself as you stalked out of the bedroom confidently. Wire didn't see you until you were in front of him, bending over to give him a good view of your cleavage.

"Whaddya think?" You whispered with amusement as his jaw went slack and he eyed your breasts. "Should we be one of those obnoxious matching couples?"

"I'm going to have to call you back..." He hung up on Heat and licked his lips, eyes flicking up to you for a split second before roving over your entire body. "You've got three seconds."

"Are we starting?" You giggled. By starting you meant was he about to go sexual sadist on you.

"One..."

You squeaked as he got up, watching you like a predator watches it's prey. The analogy didn't feel all that far off.

"Two..."

He took a step forward and you ran down the hall to the bedroom. You never heard him say three but knew the word had to have come out of his mouth. You did hear him scramble to take off his boots and follow after you though. His footfalls were heavy and he was grabbing for you with a dark chuckle as soon as you hit the bedroom door. It was close, but he missed.

You made it easy for him when you tried to get over the bed. He pinned you to the mattress with a hand pressed hard between your shoulder blades.

"I like you in my clothes." He purred, hot puffs of air hitting the nape of your neck.

With that, he flipped you over so he could appreciate the view from the front. He had a look of pure delight and anticipation as he pulled the shirt tight across your chest. It pressed into your breasts and skin enough that you knew there'd be little crisscross patterns covering you.

"Now I think the question is, how do I want to take you?" He kissed you hard, biting at your lips and coaxing his tongue into your mouth. "I think I have the perfect thing in mind."

He moved up far enough to take his shirt off slowly, making a show of it. When he had flung the article of clothing to the side, he pulled yours off as well. It didn't stay on long but it did its job. He stripped you the rest of the way and took his time undoing his jeans, sliding out his belt and placing it to the side.

"Turn over." Wire commanded. "I'm going to enjoy this."

----

He took you for not one, but two rounds of pure bliss. Your body was covered in fresh marks off all shapes and sizes, everything from teeth indents to hickeys, and even red spots from his belt and hands. All of them were well earned and made you happy.

You'd convinced him to stay with you under the sheets for a while to cuddle up while he picked up where he left off on his call with Heat. The other either didn't care or didn't know why he had hung up so suddenly. You doubted it was the latter. There was a sultry tone to his voice that was missing before your activities.

He laid on his back with one arm tucked up under his head, the other holding his phone. You curled up against his side and took the time to trace along his muscles, thinking about how they had moved along your body not long before. They had clenched up with every thrust and relaxed each time he'd pull back with throaty moans and words of praise laced in to his dirty talk. Each bite or slap to your body was always followed up with a pleased rumble from how you took it. The thought alone made you shudder. Wire was a skilled lover that knew how to find the perfect balance of pain and pleasure for you.

He also knew the effect it all had on you as he grinned down at you smugly, understanding exactly what the shudder was for. You huffed and pushed his face away, showing off his wonderful line of neck. It was too tantalizing to resist. He had focused back on the phone call, his chest reverberating below your hand every time he spoke up and you couldn't help yourself. You stretched yourself out and wiggled forward enough to nibble delicately at his throat. His pulse sped up under your mouth and his breath hitched, making him pause mid sentence.

There was the sound of wetting lips before he addressed you. "(Y/n) we've gotta go to that thing of yours soon and we won't be on time if you do that."

You licked up to his jaw before his words sunk in. "Oh shit I almost forgot about that!"

Wire chuckled. "We'll see you guys there Heat." He hung up and turned his body to face you. "You made such a big deal about going and then spaced it?"

"Why does this feel like the time you were judging me for calling about my lawnmower?"

His mouth twitched into a small smirk. "Not judging, just didn't realize the sex was good enough to make you forget things."

"So sure of yourself." You said teasingly, giving his cheek a pat for good measure.

"Did we want to test that?" He reached for your waist and you wormed out of the way fast enough to avoid getting sucked into another love making session.

"No, we gotta get ready to go." You giggled. "That means a shower and pants mister."

"Ugh." He scrunched his nose up. "Pants."

"I know." You sighed. "A terrible necessity."

Your event he mentioned was a company picnic. It was more than the guys at the station though, which was why the whole gang came along with you. A lot of the nicer folks from town had come along to the large park being used for it all, bringing home made foods and treats. The people here loved their police force and had no problem showing it.

Amazingly enough, you made it on time. Wire was very touchy while you got ready and you didn't doubt he'd be up for more when you got home. The times you'd gotten intimate with everyone under the same roof had left him craving anything that wasn't vanilla easily as much as you did. He'd have to wait though, you needed a break anyway. As good as he was, you had to have some time to recuperate.

"(Y/n), Wire, glad to see you two could make it!" Garp boomed as he pulled you both into a hug. He'd squeezed you and him hard enough that Wire even winced from the force. "Your other friends beat you here and they brought enough alcohol for everyone. I think you boys are working on being favorites for a lot of folks around here!"

"I'll have to keep in mind that in only takes a bit of cheap beer and whiskey to get on your guys' good side." You joked.

"That'll work for half of us. Try anything with nicotine for the rest." He looked over to Smoker and a few other officers that had huddled together for a smoke, being polite enough to keep away from the main crowd so they wouldn't have to put up with it.

"Noted." You smiled when you saw your friends trying to wave you down from a park table.

Kid had a plate of barbeque and was wearing more of it than he was actually eating. Killer watched him with mild distaste, sliding a napkin in his direction. Heat was playing with a dog that had come by to greet him. They had plenty of people from town sitting around them. One of them, an older lady, had taken to chastising Kid for the mess he was making of himself and even took it upon herself to start cleaning his face. The whole table erupted into laughter and Kid turned about as red as his hair with embarrassment.

You wouldn't trade this for the world.

"I'm going to go." You pointed over to the group and Garp chuckled.

"Have fun (Y/n)." He left to go give Koby and Helmeppo a hard time. You felt for the boys but weren't about to get in the way of that. Garp loved teasing them, or "toughening them up" as he put it.

"Hey guys." Killer greeted you and Wire, eyes flicking to your intertwined hands. "Doing well I see."

Like you, he had worried how you and Wire would do after dealing with your ex and family. But nothing so much as slowed him down. He had handled your worst problems like they were nothing and stuck around after it was all done. He was definitely a keeper.

"Always." Wire squeezed your hand for a second.

"At least someone is." Kid growled, now scrubbed clean.

"Oh hush, you're fine." The little woman that cleaned him up waved her hand dismissively.

Kid motioned to her like you'd be on his side.

"Maybe you'll work on those table manners some after that." You and Wire managed to find empty seats across from your friends among the many bodies.

"He won't." Heat said with a shrug. "He's impossible."

"I am not!" Kid scowled.

"I know what'd put you back in a good mood." Wire tapped the table to get Kid's attention and gave him a look you didn't understand.

Kid did though. He broke into a wide smile and then looked at you. "We got a new project in."

"Okay?" You never took particular interest in the vehicles they worked on so this was throwing you off.

"We think you'll like it." Heat said happily.

"Why's that?" You'd take the bait. Wire pulled a key out of his pocket and waved it in front of you. He meant for you to take it. "It's...for me?"

"We know you said you were going to wait for your motorcycle license for money reasons, among other things." Killer said. "So we thought we'd make things a little easier for you."

"We all pitched in to pay for your classes and bought you a bike. Income has been good lately so I guess you could say the whole town helped with this." Wire waited for a response with an excited glint in his eye.

You didn't know what to say. You didn't know where to start when it came to even getting a bike but they had you covered. They took care of everything they could for you and it was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done.

"You guys...." You started tearing up.

Wire chuckled while the other three looked alarmed, not expecting waterworks.

"Don't start with that yet." He pat your thigh. "The bike doesn't run quite right yet but we'll all work on it together and fix it up."

"You're all the best friends a girl could ever ask for." You took the key when Wire held it out for you again.

"We know." They all answered with the utmost confidence.

You loved your new little family. And with the way Wire looked at you, you knew they all loved you back, each in their own way. Maybe someday your brothers and sisters would come back around and look at you the same way. But for now, you were more than happy with this. Life was good after all.
