Poor, poor Law~

Kidd's POV

Yep, this party totally blew.

For the whole celebration, we held it at one of my territory's public centres, so we had plenty of room to dance and all that, and the location wasn't bad either, but that wasn't the problem, the problem was that the music was dull and lame, barely anyone was dancing...actually scratch that nobody was dancing, and the booze was so cheap and shitty even the filthy bugs stayed away from it.

Yep, I'll say it again, this party blew, and to think I got all super dressed up and prepped myself for this shit, I'm in a fucking suit for hell's sake! I haven't worn one of these since I was first announced the alpha, grabbing a part of my dress pants riding up on me, I growled in discomfort as others moved away from me.

A tick mark made itself known on my forehead as I saw the other party goers go out of their ways to avoid me, damn spineless fucks, I was just about to blow the place when the doors extravagantly burst open, in mild intrest I slighty looked over and mildly smirked a bit.

It was the Strawhat's who showed up, fucking goddamn finally, where the hell have these guys been?

They were one of the only reasons I agreed with this, the only people out there who didn't cower back in fear in my presence, well..most of em, but at least they didn't act like normal people.

"Hey Kidd!"

I lightly smiled as the smaller boy rushed up to me with that huge cheeky smile of his, I always found the kid oddly amusing, he was perfect for making anything exciting, be it a party, heist, or even some poor fuck's funeral, which is one of the reasons why we 'got along' so well, as others dubbed it.

"Wassup brat?" I leaned onto the wall next to me and took a glance at his small herd, seeing each and every one of them hovering over the kid like a flock of vultures, I listed them off by the nicknames I secretly gave them, counting each one down.

Bonehead

Morbid peacock

Shitty cat

Slut wolf

Marimo head

Nose

Bastard reindeer

Smirk face...

Wait what? I blinked and looked again, 'since when was there another one?' I thought.

He was elegantly shaped, strikingly similar to the curves of a woman I was able to point out, he most likely some agile jungle cat or some exotic predator, possibly even a snake- but he sure damn wasn't a herbivore, looking back to his face I noticed his mature hair style along with his small soul patch, probably making him look older than he really was.

My eyes trailed back to his waist, noting that he was quite thin for the average male, so any bulky animals were definitely crossed off the list, his skin was decorated with swirly black tattoos, that I noticed seeing them poking from under his log sleeves.

Perhaps something with fur then?

His size was not making him look lanky, but it was enough to make him look slick and swift, peering hard at his arms, I saw he was with a pretty decent amount of muscle showing under the suit he was wearing, yeah, it was hugging his form very nicely, how the guy wasn't uncomfortable and what was keeping him from fidgeting around I didn't know.

But those eyes..they were simply gorgeous.

I couldn't stop going back to them, they were such a pure silver it almost made it seemed that they were glowing under the black lights and flickering lasers in the room, and the dark bags under them just made them pop out even more, like some woman's eye shadow.

He was simply breathtaking to watch, and he seemed interesting to boot, I wonder what species he is?

Slowly leaning away from the strawhat kid to keep him from noticing, I tried taking a whiff of his scent to get at least some clue but my eyes quickly widened in shock, he smelled so...god how do you even describe it!?

Whatever the scent was, it was extremely intoxicating, almost like flowers and scented candles, yet it also reminded me of the sea and black coffee, making it strong and sweet at the same time, a rare type of combination I've never come across.

I immediately turned away from him and focused my gaze back on Strawhat before any of them would suspect me of checking him out, but just maybe I'll try him on?

"Hey Strawhat, I didn't know there was a newbie in your ranks" I was hoping for an introduction, and wasn't disappointed, "oh! That's right, Kidd this is T-Traff-fafaf-Trafalgar Law! He's been staying with us for awhile for...umm uhhhh, certain..reasons, and Law, this is Kidd! He's a wolf alpha!" I felt more curious at that, so he wasn't part of the herd?

"WELL YOU TWO HAVE FUN! MEEEEAAAATT!" The group quickly zoomed off after their wayward leader, thankfully leaving Trafalgar behind with me.

We both kinda just stood there awkwardly until he finally spoke up "well, I'm Trafalgar D. Water Law, nice to meet your acquaintance" I hummed in responce and stood up.

"Eustass Kidd" suddenly I noticed how his eyes would trail around my torso, lingering there for a few minutes at a time, tch! another bitch...oh well then.. frowning at another failed match, I crossed my arms and visibly deflated, but the other didn't care to notice.

I saw him open his mouth and awaited for the enevitable flirting, or perhaps even a cowardly excuse to leave, "How in the hell did you freaking double your mass in muscle?" His voice struck me like a railroad train.

....WHAT?

"Huh?" I could only responce dumbly and blink, was that his attempt in flirting or something? "I may not look like it, but I'm a skilled doctor and surgeon, and I've never seen a wolf, even an alpha, develop like you have, in fact, this seems to be a huge unnatural genetic mutation, so I'm curious how did-" he emphasized to my whole body "-this happen? I'm curious" the hell? That was cute?

I blinked again not completely registering what was happening, the guy wasn't flirting, he wasn't flirting.

He was the first person who's had the guts to talk to me like that and not flirt, even if I didn't have a clue as to what he said, was that medic talk or something? Because I swear I've heard those words from Killer somewhere else.

"Mister Eustass are you okay? I didn't overwelm your simple brain with complex wording too advanced for you did I?" I then realized the guy was waving a hand in front of me with a mocking grin on his face, seemingly loving the stupefied state I was stuck in...why I outta.

"No way bitch, now fuck off" I flicked his hand away expecting him to back away- but he didn't, he just seemed to be even more entertained at this, "oh? What's wrong? Am I just too fabulous for your presence?" He then struck a pose that would have given him a spot on front page of a magazine on top models and playfully stuck out his tongue and curled it.

I had to fight the grin trying to make it's way onto my face, this guy was just getting more and more intriguing...and with quite pleasing results, maybe..just maybe he could be the one, but to hell I'd ever tell Killer about this.

We chatted in a very interesting and pleasing conversation till the backround music hit a very off key high note making the two of us cringe, other people groaned and some even visibly recoiled because of their sensitive hearing.

I absolutely hated it when people played crappy music like this, music is kind of an important subject to all wolves and it's like a part of us that we'll always have..

I immediately gagged, I can't believe I just thought up some pissy sentimental crap.

But I was dragged out of my thoughts when I noticed that Trafalgar was heading towards the stage in a huff, "h-hey what are you doing!?" The younger man stopped and turned on his heels and stared back at me with a mischievous chuckle "I, dear Eustass, am going to set this party the right way" he didn't notice how his voice sent a shiver down my spine as he turned away and disappeared into the shadows, thank god.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As time went on a cold drop in my gut told me something was going to happen, and that's when the lights went out..along with cutting the crappy music, enveloping everyone and everything into a world of absolute darkness, jesus who killed it?

Everyone mumbled in shock and confusion, thankfully panic hasn't set in yet, until some new loud, and thankfully better music rung out around the place.

The lights to the stage burst on in neon colors, beaming down and flashing all over the room, and there he stood, in all his amazing glory.

I felt myself getting warm, his suit that hugged his body perfectly was replaced with a yellow hoodie and tight spotted jeans that wrapped around his legs so perfectly, like a snake's second skin..on his head was a...an adorable hat with spots as well, the hat looked cute on him but I was disappointed that it covered his beautiful midnight blue hair.

The music got louder as I noticed a small microphone in his hand...

Holy shit was he going to..!?

My thoughts were interrupted by the shouts and hollers of the rambunctious Strawhats in the crowd, "woooo go Traffy!" "Show these losers how we dance!" I couldn't agree with them any more, please, I'd love to see how he danced.

(READER-CHAN I ASK YOU TO PLEASE IMAGINE FOR YOURSELF HOW LAW WILL DANCE WHILE HE'S SINGING THIS SONG HERE)

By the time Law finished the song the place already went absolutely nuts! The dance floor was freaking packed, party goers were moving and hopping like it was our last night alive, and the colored lights were flashing everywhere making the place look like a popular night club.

Everyone was now dancing their asses off..except for me.

I gulped stitching that moment deep into my mind, the way Trafalgar's hips moved perfectly along with the beat and those quick moves he made, how his tanned skin would occasionally poke out from under his baggy sweater but vanish just as fast, like a damn tease...he was nothing short of art.

Shit...I needed him...now.

I didn't even fucking care what species he was anymore, no matter what he was he'd still be the best damn potential mate out there, no matter what his genetic flaws were, no matter how awkward a hybrid of the two of us could be.

My heightened sight scanned over the flashing mass of moving bodies and I scowled, he was nowhere to be found, he couldn't have left had he!? Then I scanned the crowd for any of the Strawhats and as I feared, they were all gone.

I growled out loud in frustration, not noticing the tail coming out and whipping around behind me..he was perfect..the perfect damn candidate I could ever come across..and I fucking let the beautiful enigma get away!

I swiftly smashed my fist into the closest pillar, my knuckles were stark white as I gave it a second punch, making it crack and quiver in warning, some pieces splintered and fell onto the thin carpet, scattering around my feet.

'Dammit all! Next time we meet I won't let you get away!'

That was a promise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Law's POV

"Hey! We're leaving so soon!? But I was just beginning to have some fun! That's the whole point why you dragged me along right!?" I childishly pouted as Franky-ya continued to drag me along with the group.

"I'm sorry Traffy, but some people in there were starting to give you weird looks so we had to get you outta there" Chopper-ya bowed down in apology as I went limp and softly whined letting myself be dragged along.

That daring redhead was so fun to mess with too!

He was so interesting as well, not once did I get bored speaking with him in our conversation, quite the specimen he was, and that scent of his, strong metal mixed with spilt blood and a roaring fire, I just loved it, so wild, beastly and untamed..I couldn't help but steal a sniff everytime his attention was brought somewhere else.

Everytime I tried to forget about him the more I thought about our time spent together, which led me to miss talking to him even more, how peculiar, "that redhead...Eustass-ya was quite interesting" I didn't mean to say that aloud, but it just fell out of my lips.

I heard someone start to choke and saw Sniper-ya gagging on some dumplings he stole from the celebration, "you of all people were interested in someone!?" I smirked at Nami-ya's screech, feeling accomplished with shocking her, like a little revenge after the 'makeover' she gave me, "I couldn't help it, he was quite..charming in his own way" he was too, but was that the only reason?

Chopper-ya blinked up at me in worry, "are you okay Law?" I gently smiled down at the reindeer as I shook myself out of Franky-ya's grasp, "I'm just fine, though I'd like to take a little stroll before heading back, is that okay?" Luffy-ya nodded cheerfully as he grabbed ahold of Zoro-ya and Blackfoot-ya, "OKAY! SEE YOU LATER TRAFFY!" The group quickly followed their leader leaving me alone in a cloud of dirt and dust, making me smile at their rowdy antics.

The sudden thought of looking for the redhead crossed my mind but I decided against it, he probably wasn't even there anymore, I sighed again, why did I feel so depressed all of a sudden? Why did I want to see the redhead again so badly? Were the two problems connected?

With that on my mind I continued to wander around the edge of Eustass-ya's border, as I fumbled about, along the way I subconsciously shifted into my leopard form after feeling tired of walking on two legs, still busy contemplating on my current mental plight.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Killer's POV

I sighed, Kidd was right, there was no interesting potential mates around! They were either, genetically uncompatible, not attractive, or just not belonging to a desirable species for a potential partner.

But I continued to scout Kidd's borders for anything, anything! Still coming up with nothing I sighed again, this was going to be a waste of time, what was the point? All it would get me by now is less sleep, and I definitely didn't need anymore of that.

Kidd was too stubborn to go along with just anyone, but it's not that I wanted him to, so many things could go wrong if he did after all, but all the goodies were either already taken or not here at all! It was frustrating to say the least.

I was just about to admit defeat when I heard a 'snap'

I froze, it was the sound of a snapped twig, and I didn't do it, which means someone else was here in the forest.

All hope went down the drain though when I just expected some random deer or raccoon or maybe someone else from the pack just wondering around or doing border patol.

Though something deep within my gut told me that wasn't the case, maybe it was hope, maybe it was faith, so I sneakily creeped up to where I heard the other individual to be.

I cautiously poked my snout out of the thick bushes and immediately lost my breath, holy mother fucking shitting hell! Strolling right in front of me, completely oblivious to my presence was a mother fucking snow leopard! The most sought after partner ever! Right in front of me! Holy shit this was actually happening!

From the size of them, it was a bigger than average, decently healthy male around their early twentys, maybe perhaps stuck in the middle...that's around the same age as Kidd.

He was perfect!

All I had to do was catch it.

But..snow leopards were known to be very flexible, crafty and clever, one wrong move and he could get away and I'll royally fuck up this once in a lifetime chance.

I had to get him.

Kidd finally getting a mate counted on it, and with only one move too before he noticed I was here, keeping that in mind, I crouched down and silently followed him in the shadows, he was quite impressive even for his kind, his fur looked completely clean and was stainless as far as I could tell, and those eyes of his were a kind of intimating..

Knowing that, I would probably have to move carefully as to not stain or injure him when I go for it, letting my mind race, I felt giddy at how Kidd would react, yep I was so going to get praised for this!

Without blinking I scanned him, waiting for the moment to strike, as soon as I found the perfect moment I would jump in and knock him unconscious.

Sure that was kinda bad in this kind of situation but how else was I supposed to get him!? Snow leopards are rare for a reason, they're hard, close to impossible to impress, and if you can't impress them or get them interested in you then you don't have a chance.

My eyes widened as he paused in his step.

Right there!

Law's POV

I hesitantly froze in my stroll and blinked when my ear flickered, did I hear someth-suddenly I stopped breathing, my vision was going blurry..crap.

Feeling afraid, I had no idea what was going on, but some blurred mass was squeezing the life out of me, I tried to yank it off but it was too strong now that I had lost too much oxygen.

I passed out feeling nothing but dread...
