Before I start there seems to be a bit of confusion. So I'll just iron this out before continuing.

There are Champions. Champions were cursed by a grand master. They are servants/slaves for their masters. They turn into a plushie on their master's command. If the master dies, they wait in plushie form for a new master.

Then there's Rogue Champions. They are champions who have broken their master-servant relationship. Because of that they slowly die over a 4 year period the longer they are without a master the weaker they become. If they find no master before they die, they will fade from existence. Disappear. POOF.

Lastly there are re-Champions. They are Rogue Champions who have found a master. But their relationship with their master is harsher than regular Champions. They usually have a different way of turning a re-Champion back into a plushie. It could be a hug, handshake...kiss. On top of that there is a distance restriction, so if they're in their full form they have a maximum distance they can be away from their master. This can differ depending on re-Champion. And finally if the master of a re-Champion dies they also die along with them.

So now a mini recap of the last chapter.

The reader (you) knows more about the grand master that cursed them than you let on. Shanks was a Rogue Champion about to die when you found him. By kissing him you formed a re-Champion relationship with him. Meaning if you die he dies too. You didn't know how far the distance restriction was, so you both went to your respective houses, but there's a bit of a problem.

Now the scene is going to be Kid that's back at home.

~~~

Kid has been at home the entire day. He did everything in his power to entertain himself, even going through your underwear drawer. Sure he did hesitate but did that stop him doing the deed. No. As he was looking there was a heavy blush on his cheeks. You had quite the variety of panties, ones with bunnies, cute bears, plain white, black and other nude colours, even some lace in there. As Kid was enjoying this freedom to the fullest he checked the very back of the drawer he found something.....the unspeakable.....a thong. It was so tiny he couldn't even imagine you wearing it. Okay maybe he could, but that's beside the point. You owned one, his breath hitched as he stared at it with such intensity. "When would Y/n even wear this?" He quietly mumbled under his breath.

Finally done exploring every inch of Y/n's room, Kid laid down on your bed wondering how else could he entertain himself before you came home. Then that's when it hit him the best idea in his entire life (not really). He remembered your mum was home, your mum loved him, she wasn't busy and he was bored. So that's when he decided operation sneak-out-the-house-and-act-like-your-calling-for-Y/n-knowing-full-well-she-wasn't-home-just-so-he-could-talk-to-your-mum was a go.

Jumping off the bed with newfound motivation he made a beeline for your window. He was quite lucky that you lived in a bungalow, so that meant he didn't have to worry about falling from anywhere high as everything was on the same floor. He opened the window and made his way through it. It would be a blatant lie to say he didn't struggle climbing out the window. What can he say he's a big guy. Nonetheless he made it through. Now crawling on his stomach army style he made it to the front of the house. There were leaves and a little bit of dirt stuck to his cloths after that little ordeal. So he did what anyone would have done. He shook like a dog trying to get rid of fleas, it truly was a funny sight to behold. After deeming himself acceptable he knocked on the door. Putting the rest of his plan into motion.

A few noises came from the house until the door opened, you Mum stood in the doorway pleasantly surprised. "Oh Kid, what are you doing here?"

"Sorry to disturb you madam I was wondering if Y/n was home?" Kid inwardly smirked at how well this was going, she doesn't suspect a thing. But being this polite sure is a hassle.

"Hmm sweety, Y/n isn't home right now, but if you don't mind would you like to keep me company?" Without even waiting for the young gentleman's response she grabbed his arm and dragged him into the house. And without so much of a second thought she forced him to sit on the coach. "So tell me how did you meet my sweet little Y/n?"

It was surprising to Kid that it was this easy, he thought he would have to be the one to initiate the whole ordeal. "Well unfortunately madam I met Y/n in not the most convenient way"

"Whatever do you mean by that?" This truly intrigued her, leaning closed to him she ushered him to continue. This was certainly new for her. Y/n never gives her all the juicy details.

"Well I was walking by an alley when I heard someone call out for help. That someone happened to be Y/n she was being harassed by a group of men. After seeing how desperately she was trying to escape I couldn't leave here. So I took out the men. Funny thing is she thanked me in the oddest way and then just fainted from shock. I ended up carrying her home. Then one thing let to another and now we're friends " Kid didn't know why but calling his relationship with Y/n friends didn't sit right with him.

This was really new news for your Mum, not once have you ever mentioned being in such a traumatic situation. The night went on and hours past she really got a good insight on the type of person Kid was. He was a very loyal man that cared in his own special way. If this kind of guy had interest in her daughter she wouldn't mind entrusting her to him. Now the moment she's been waiting for came. He was comfortable around her as far as she could tell time to pop the question.

"So Kid, do you love Y/n?" Kid's face turned bright red, almost matching his hair. He opened and closed his mouth trying to get words out.

"Uh..I-I....w-well.. um.. s-she" never in Kids life has he struggled to speak as he did just now. A sly smile was creeping its way on to your Mums face.

She chuckles at his flustered state. "Hmmm well if you can't answer that Kid, how do you feel when you're around?" It takes Kid a few moments to calm down. Then he leans a bit back into the coach. How does he feel around you?

"Well I feel happy, like if she's there everything will be alright. My heart beats really quickly when she gets close to me and I get sweaty palms sometimes. I want to make sure she's safe and no one can hurt her. And when other guys get close I feel bitter for some reason. Almost as if they're gonna take her away from me. I don't know how I feel about her but I do know I want her in my life" with that he looks expectantly at her, waiting for her to interpret his feelings into something he can understand.

"Kid everything you just described is what people in love feel. I think it's safe to say you love my daughter Y/n" everything after that was a blur. Kid couldn't even remember when he left the house or how he got back into Y/n's room. He was just so deep I thought staring at the ceiling. I love Y/n, I really love her. Does she love me back? How will I tell her? Can I even tell her, she is my master after all. What if I ruin our relationship and she never wants to see me again. What if she loves someone else? These thoughts replayed in Kids head like a broken record.

~back with Y/n~

Y/n and Zoro rushed to the alley. What could be wrong with Shanks? When you got there Shanks looked to be in such pain. It almost seems unbearable. When shanks looked up and you were in a 10m radius he was given almost instant relief. The tightness in his chest vanished along with the draining weakness.

He has never in his life been so happy to see your face. He's a tough man you know? Been through life, wars, even had his arm cut off, but never has he felt such excruciating pain. It was like he was going to die then and there.

"HEY, hey Shanks you okay there?" you asked worries something went wrong with the ritual. He looks up at you and gives you a lopsided smile.

"Yeah, I'm fine it's just there's more restrictions to this whole re-champion thing then I thought" he replied and attempted to give a light chuckle but it did nothing to lift the mood.

"What do you mean Shanks, elaborate.?" you commanded quite seriously not even realising you were using the re-champion bond. So against his will, even though he was going to say it anyway, his mouth moved on its own and the words just kept spilling out of his mouth.

"Yes Master, what I was implying with my prior speech was that the life and death bond was not the only thing we created. To my knowledge it seems that there is also a distance restriction between us. I suspect that this distance restriction will differ depending on the re-champion. The repercussion for breaching the radius of restriction seems to be excruciating pain inflicted onto the re-champion until the master is in a ten metre range. Does this satisfy Master's command?" When finished and now in control of his own mouth, he slowly brought his hand to his jaw. What the hell was that?

Shock was littered on both Zoro and Y/n's face. This was just so weird. It was understandable for Y/n to be in shock but Zoro too. Sure masters have given commands before but never to the point where they have no control of their body whatsoever. It means there re-champion bond is really going into effect.

After another beat of silence Y/n crackled at his situation. The strange atmosphere was completely gone and heat started to rise on Shanks face.

"HEY ITS NOT FUNNY" he was getting frustrated when you only laughed louder. Even that sleepy feline Zoro was beginning to snicker at his predicament.

"Hey shanks does this mean I can make you do whatever I want?" You asked knowing full well what the answer was. Shanks just looked at you offended that you were even considering abusing that power over him.

"Shanks, carry me." Without at second to waste you were in his arm. Being held so attentively. Even after re regained control he still couldn't put you down until you said so. So for the whole wild home you were laughing and making fun of the poor man.

~~~

Why was god so cruel to you, it always just one problem after another. You had all gotten back to the house all well and good but now it was getting in. Every time you tried getting shanks into the house you mum was always in the way. Why couldn't she just stay in one place.

So the next option was to turn shanks back into a plushie but that didn't work either. You did quite the embarrassing things to get it to work. Chanting, hugging and even getting in some questionably positions, alas to no avail.

Leaning his good arm on your shoulder shanks whispered in a husky deep voice "why don't you just kiss me Y/n~" though it was very clear he was just messing with you.

About to shoot down the notion until as comical as it sounds a lightbulb went off on your head. If you needed a kiss to make the re-champion bond wouldn't it make sense that kissing is like the key to a commande like turning him back into a plushie. Without a second of hesitation you gently grabbed his face and lowered it to yours.

While placing a kiss on Shanks' lips you didn't see Kid watching from the window. The look of absolute heartbreak on his face was depressing. He had only just found out about his feelings for you, but before he could even try you were already in love with someone else. How stupid he was, you were his master nothing else, if it wasn't for this bond you probably wouldn't give him a sideways glance. Him to develop feelings for you was doomed from the start.

Not wanting to see anymore he turned away and went back to the bed. In the process also locking away his feelings before they can shatter more than they already have.
