You held the ice pack to your cheek, dreading Zoro's punch even after everything was over. Of course the greenette was still apologizing through texts. You felt bad for interfering like that and making him look like an ass, but you were also glad you did. Who knows what Kid would've done if the hit had connected to his jaw. You shiver at the thought, pushing through the front door. You go in freezing when you find Kid waiting with folded arms.

"K-Kid..." You stammer as he approaches you, closing the door behind you and practically looming over you. Hesitantly you meet his amber gaze. He seems to search your eyes for something before leaning down and kissing you. You gasp in surprise and try to pull back only to be stopped by the door behind you. Kid takes the opening to run his tongue over the injury on the inside of your cheek.

Wincing you push him back putting a hand over your mouth. "What the fuck Kid!?" You snap blushing heavily.

"Relax I was helping your cheek." He straightens up licking his lips. You pause as the slight ache of your cheek disappears. You swiftly go to the bathroom to look at your cheek, bruise fading before your eyes.

"Wow...." You mutter.

"No need to thank me, I really enjoyed that." Kid breathes against your ear, pressing against your back warmly, hands rubbing your hips slowly. You shiver and push him back with a blush.

"S-Shut up... I wouldn't have interfered if you hadn't been provoking humans." You scold frowning as you head out.

"I wouldn't have killed him." He follows after you. "You took that punch like a champ, not an ounce of fear." He adds, knuckles brushing your cheek. "You're stronger than... Than I originally thought..." He pulls away, eyes changing briefly. "I'm heading back now-"

"Did you kill her?" Your question made him freeze. He looks at you, seeming surprised. "You slipped up when you were telling me... I've been wondering about it... So did you?"

"Yes. She died because of me." His eyes grew cold. "What of it? Are you going to run?" He sneers, lip curling. You search his face.

"It's okay Kid." You touch his shoulder. He froze again, eyes widening slightly.

"What.... Don't tell me that! I know it is! She... She deserved it!" He snaps, smacking your hand away. His fangs were bared but oddly, you didn't feel scared after he admitted.

"Kid." You frown at him and step closer, hugging the tense demon.

"What is with you today? Did that mosshead knock your brain loose?" He huffs putting a hand on your head but relaxing all the same.

"I don't know... I don't feel like myself lately...." You admit pulling back. "And Mosshead is still apologizing, and...." You check your messages, raising an eyebrow. "Wants to take me out to dinner."

"Is that a good idea? What if it makes Law jealous?" Kid smirks.

"What do you mean?" You ask confused.

"Really? Are you that blind. Every time he's here he's always trying to keep you close."

"That's because he doesn't trust you, you are a demon. And besides he only visits me because I keep getting hurt because of... Bad luck." You defend.

"You were about to blame me weren't you?" He guesses.

"No...."

"Lying isn't your strong suit babe."

"I'm not your babe."

"Really? Because I've kissed you twice now, that's two more than anyone else, so yeah, the way I see it you-"

"Stolen kisses don't count Kid." You frown at him and he chuckles.

"Ah ah ah. You kissed me on your own the first time. Just admit you liked it." He winks smiling at you.

"You're.... I don't understand you...." You sigh.

"I'm not sure I understand you either." He rumbles. "Have fun at dinner with mosshead, call if you want me." He adds with a wave before vanishing. You blink at where he had been.

"I feel weird now..." You mutter before looking at your phone, thumb moving on its own as you bring the phone to your ear mindlessly.

"What? Did you want me to stay?" Kid teases over the phone. You blink and pause, why did you call him?? You glance around a bit lost.

".... You wanna watch a movie and snack?" You ask. You could see his smile before he even reappeared in front of you.

"Alright, shall we get some ice cream first?" He hums.

"Yeah, alright." You smile a bit. He holds out his hand to you and you take it without thinking. He teleports You both to the store and you stiffen. "Don't just do that! What if someone saw?" You scold.

"Who cares?" He shrugs leading you into the store.

"I don't know, what about priests? Law is a priest in training." You point out with a frown. He pauses and turns to you.

"He is?.... Your friend is going to get killed if he runs into one of us on the job," He states before walking on.

"What do you mean?" You question following after him.

"If he hasn't already realized what I am then he damn sure won't recognize the others, and since his spirit is so weak he can be controlled." He stops, looking over the sweets. You felt your stomach churn.

"What...." You echo uneasily. Kid blinks and turns to you.

"He's blind to us, which means he doesn't believe in this side. The ones who don't believe tend to have weak spirits, and we can easily affect them." He cups your chin, eyes glowing slightly. You feel shudder through our body and swallow. "You don't react the others when I do that, your spirit is stronger than his. You're better suited to be a priestess." He releases your chin before making some snacks disappear. He flashes a smile, "Now, ice cream!" He chimes leading the way.

You follow trying to untangle the thoughts in your head. "How many demons are out here?" You ask. He opens the fridge door and hums.

"They're a lot of them, most of the time they're overlooked because no one wants to see them. Then there are those who are drawn to our dark energy... Pick something." He tells you. You blink and step forward looking in with him.

"That one," You point. He nods, making it disappear before pulling you away as he closes the door.

"Are you going to scold me if we teleport back?" He inquires teasing. You meet his gaze and pause, feeling strange again.

"Can't we just enjoy the walk back?" You ask. He blinks and tilts his head watching you curiously.

"Alright... You feeling okay? You're acting... Weird." He says.

"I'm alright... I think.... I just keep doing things without really thinking... I feel weird." You admit looking down. He moves in your way, making you look up at him as he cups your face, pressing his forehead to yours. You freeze, what was going on?

"You don't feel warm... Maybe you just need to sleep." He pulls back, patting your head.

"R-Right." You manage. He raises an eyebrow before smirking and putting an arm around your neck.

"What's this? Were you hoping for a kiss?" He purrs. You frown putting a hand on his face.

"Personal space." You huff walking ahead. He chuckles following after you with a smile.

"You know you're cute right?" He hums. You blush and scoff turning your head away from him. He chuckles again smirking as he sneaks his hand into yours. You were too dazed to realize at the moment. "You're really out of it."

"What...? No I'm not..." You give him a frown.

"Sure... You're cute when you look at me like that." He smirks. You huff and look away again blushing lightly.

"Why do you keep saying that? You're acting weird too—" You then look down at your connected hands and freeze. You swiftly throw up your hands in a fluster. "When did that happen?!"

"Five minutes and thirty-two seconds ago." He informs you in clear amusement. You frown at him, punching his arm.

"Knock it off!" You growl. He blinks, touching where you hit him and you freeze. Shit, he was going to kill you.

"Did you just hit me?" He questions. You shift and give a small nod. He grins and chuckles suddenly hugging you. "That's so cute!" He laughs. You blush and frown.

"G-Get off! Stooop!" You protest feebly. He rumbles another laugh before leading you back home. Weirdo, you couldn't understand what was going on in his head.

"So what movie do you want to watch?" He asks peering back at you.

"You pick this time, hm?" You hum taking out your phone to find Zoro was calling. "Zoro, I told you it was okay." You answer as you close the front door behind you.

'I know you keep saying that but I still feel like shit.' He sighs.

"Well... I guess you can make it up to me..."

'Can I? I'll do anything.'

"Slave!" Kid hisses excited, bouncing slightly. You give him a look and shake your head.

"Umm... Y-You can-" Kid takes the phone from you at that.

"Be my slave for three days, do my homework and take notes for me at school so I can spend more time with my best friend." Kid says in your voice, tail wagging behind him.

"Kid!" You hiss in disapproval.

"Then it's a deal! See you tomorrow." He chimes before hanging up. "There we go, then we have more free time." He chuckles giving you your phone.

"I can't believe you just turned one of my dear friends into my slave..." You frown.

"It'll be cute, like you're a queen or a princess." He winks.

"..... Just put in your movie...."
