"___..." Law's ears were laid back again as you start for the last lantern.
"Im fine." You murmur.
"You're not." He sighs. You look back at him before reaching back and taking his hand. He frowns but doesn't say anything as you lead the way, meeting Shanks at the last one. The redhead gives you a tight hug before lighting the last one. You look around quietly before following after Shanks and Mihawk toward the portal.
You pause at the portal, hand tightening around Law's as you look around. "Will they come back?"
"Not for a while, the lanterns that we lit wont be easily extinguished." Shanks assures you, taking your other hand. "Come on, it'll be okay." He breathes. You nod and go back into the portal together.

You look around quietly as you wander the temple. You couldn't sleep, mind wandering to what Kid said. It bothered you. Opening another door, you peer in, turning on the light and pausing, looking at the wrecked motorcycle.
The sight, made your heart ache again. You carefully go to it, looking around the garage. Papers and blueprints sat on the work table, parts set up in their own organized places. You go to the table, looking over the papers quietly. He had spent so much to rebuilding the motorcycle. Could you rebuild it for him? You would feel closer to the old him...

You hum quietly, starting to doze off until your laptop starts to go off from an incoming video call. You swiftly pick it up, turning on your light before answering.
"You're late." You tease lightly. Kid smiles sheepishly, oil smudged on his cheek.
"Sorry, I couldn't get the old man to go out." He breathes. "And I already told you not to wait up if you're tired."
"But I would miss my red teddy bear." You smirk, making him blush and look away.
"We've been over this! Im a terrifying ogre. Roar." He growls playfully.
"Can I be Fiona then?" You tilt your head. He blushes heavily, covering his eyes and leaning to the side with a smile.
"Why do you do this?" He whines slightly.
"Because you really do look like a red teddy bear when you get all red." You giggle. He pouts at you with a blush. You pause before making kissy faces at him. "Muah! Muah! Muah!"
"Whhhy....??" He chuckles looking away and blushing more.
"Because you're so damn cute sometimes! You better be careful! When we meet next month I might just attack you with kisses." You warn, only slightly playing. He covers his face, obviously not sure how to respond.
"... Really?" He murmurs shyly. You smile widely at that.
"Oooh, you would like that wouldn't you? I knew you were in love with me." You tease. He totally freezes, even his ears grow completely red. "Yep! That's okay because I..." You trail off and tilt your head thoughtfully. Kid drops his hands, looking at you carefully.
"You... You what?" He asks. You smile and lean forward.
"I'll tell you when you kiss me." You hum. You didn't think his face could get any redder, but his eyes certainly got wider. He sighs and looks away.
"It feels like a dream when ever I call you..." He admits.
"Hm? You feel that way too?" You ask. He nods, rubbing his cheek.
"Yeah, like it's too good to be true.. Sometimes I dream that you never come... or we don't meet somehow..." He murmurs looking to the side with a frown.
"Don't worry Kid. We'll definitely meet. I'll get to you one way or another... And then Muah! I'm gonna getcha." You smile. He meets your gaze and smiles softly.
"I can't wait."

If only the world didn't make you a liar. Tears escape your eyes and you sink to your knees, clutching your chest as you cry quietly. "Im sorry I wasn't there Kid..."
"Why the hell are you crying? It's not like you could've known." A sigh makes you freeze. You look back shakily as he looks down at the motorcycle with folded arms. "What a piece of trash..."
"Why... Why are you here Kid?" You sniff, rubbing your eyes. He closes his eyes annoyed.
"I don't know... Why are you in a place like this crying?" His gaze pierces you when they open again.
You look away, "You don't care." You murmur. He comes around the motorcycle and pulls you to your feet, glaring down at you lightly.
"Never tell me what I do, or don't." He whispers firmly. You swallow meeting his gaze. "Come on, we're going for a ride." He adds suddenly guiding you out and to his shadowy motorcycle. He gets on and places you in front of him before speeding off.
Once again, it felt as if the scenery was merging together as the calm ride lulls you to sleep. He soon stops at an overlook, looking out at the town lights quietly before looking at you, leaning back against his chest, fast asleep. "You always fall asleep before I get up here." He mutters.
A sigh escapes him as he sits back more. "No matter how far I try to go, I still wind up coming to you.." He watches your face with a frown before shaking his head and driving back to the temple.
He carries you inside, looking around until he finds your room, peering in to find Sabo, Luffy, and the antlered creature you had saved earlier- fast asleep all over the room. "This one." A voice makes him look back at Law. He nods to another room across the hallway.
That couldn't be right... Kid shakes his head before going into the room that the fox indicated. It felt eerily familiar as he takes you to the bed and lays you down. His gaze goes over the room carefully until they come to a picture over the bed. Kid narrows his eyes and lifts the picture frame to find a cubby hole behind it, in which, a single notebook sat. He takes the notebook out, going to the desk and sitting down after switching on the light.
Kid looks back as the fox crawls into your bed, tails fanning over you in a comforting manner as he settles in and closes his eyes. Kid was not happy with the sight, but shakes his head and decides to focus on the notebook instead.

"Get the hell off me!" Someone shouts, waking you up.
"Wha..." You mutter in confusion. Law picks up his head from your pillow.
"Sounds like Shanks caught your demon friend." He murmurs. You hum and roll to your side, closing your eyes before you realize what he said.
"Kid!" You gasp suddenly running out to find the demon in the kitchen, batting away Shanks in annoyance. "You're still here..."
"Shut up. I'm not here because of you alright." He growls.
"Then why are you here?" You tilt your head.
"None of your business," He scoffs. "Hurry up and eat so we can get to training."
"You're training with us too?" Law frowns at him.
"Might as well. I'm better suited to be her partner anyway." Kid folds his arms and glares at the fox lightly.
"She chose me." Law shoots back, ears laying back.
"That so?" Kid looms over him. "But did she really want you?"
Law growls suddenly attacking Kid. "Law!" You gasp as Kid tosses him off and into the wall.
"Did you really think you could beat me like that?" Kid steps toward him with a dark smile. You move between them swiftly, facing Kid.
"Please stop..." You murmur touching his chest. He glares down at you coolly.
"And if I don't?" He tests lowly. You swallow, not sure how to respond. Why did he have to have the same face you fell in love with? Tears come to your eyes as you meet his familiar amber orbs.
"Please Kid..." You whisper. He freezes, eyes widening briefly before suddenly stalking out. You relax and turn to Law. "Are you okay Law...?"
"I'm fine." Law rubs his head, not looking at you. You relax and hug his neck, making his ears perk in slight surprise.
"I really did want a partner like you..." You breathe. Law blinks and hugs you back warmly, tails brushing over you.
"Im glad." He hums. You pull back, giving him a smile.
"Come on ___, your food is getting cold." Shanks speaks up softly. You blink and go to give him a hug.
"Are you okay?" You ask him quietly.
"Yes... Im sorry he upset you." Shanks cups your cheek. "He's still trying to find his way."
"I hope he finds it soon...."
