Call Me

Chapter Seven

Law was sitting in the library a few days later, dutifully doing the home work for his independant study class, when he felt himself being picked up the collar of his sweatshirt. His yelp was silenced by a pale hand, and his vision was full of the face of Eustass Kidd, irritated, and with fire dancing in his eyes.

He glared at the teacher, actually wishing that Monet or anyone from his stalker club would come bounding around the corner. He still couldn't get the image of Kidd and Bonney out of his head.

"Now, Trafalgar," Eustass growled, sending shivers up Law's spine in want, "You have been avoiding me the past few days. Care to explain? And also explain the reason you showed up at my house!"

The raven looked away from Kidd, keeping his face impassive as he replied, "I don't know what you are talking about-"

"BULLSHIT!" the teacher interpted, only to be venomously shushed by the librarian. "Bullshit," he repeated quietly. " I know that you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about!" He shoved Law against one of the stacks behind them. "Now answer the damn question!"

Trafalgar was looking Kidd full in the face now. "Why do you even care?" he asked instead, studying the red head's reaction.

Kidd looked taken aback, as if asking himself the same question, then replied with out hesitation, "Because, for some unknown reason, I am worried about you. Also," he added, "It's damn creepy when someone I don't know that well shows up at my God damn house-"

He was cut off when his phone vibrated in his pocket. He let the buzzing continue as he stared at Law, and his expressionless face.

Law didn't speak a word, processing the first part of Kidd's sentence. I am worried about you... Impossible. No one was just 'worried' about him.

"God damn it!" Trafalgar suddenly growled, scowling, as he twisted out of the red heads grip, switching their postions. The surprise on Eustass-ya's face was almost enought to make him grunt a laugh, but he was far from amused.

"Would you make your damn mind? First you tell me to grow some balls, and to be man, and now, here you are 'worrying' about me like I am a fucking kid?! Maybe you should've acted like this when I actually needed it!"

His voice was quiet, but the raven might as well have been yelling. Kidd looked at him in confusion as Traf shoved himself away from the older man.

"What the hell are you going on about? You keep saying that, but before I started teaching here, I had never fucking met you before in my life!"

Trafalgar rolled his eyes, and started to back away to grab his stuff, planning on making a quick escape. "I wouldn't expect you to remember, after all, it was probably nothing to you. I was just another shitty kid getting the snot beat out of him for being the 12 year old high schooler."

Law saw the confusion that was still in Kidd's eyes fade, and was replaced with recognition.

"Oh my gosh, you were THAT kid? The twerp that was a nerd? God, I remember now! " disbelief was in his voice even as he looked at Law like a bug under a microscope.

The raven teen scoffed, and turned to grabb his bag, only to be stopped by a iron grip around his wrist.

"Let go!" he snarled, struggling, and twisting like an animal. His composure was starting to crumble. He needed to get away from here, from Eustass. But it was no use.

"No," Kidd said, with his hold never faltering.

Law saw only one thing to do. He stepped toward Kidd, twisting his body, and stood almost face to face with the teacher. Kidd and him were close enough to be breathing the same air, and Trafalgar noticed that Kidd didn't seem particuarly disturbed by this, he seemed to coming in slightly closer in fact. But none the less, he sharply snapped his head back and forward again, effectivly head butting Eustass quite hard.
