Once Bitten, Twice Shy [[Kid X Reader X Ace]]

Record Scratch

(A/N: Lemon in this one, or at least an attempt. Let me know what you think.)

KID POV:

You watched from the alley across the street from the bar as y/n left with Ace in tow. 'What the fuck?', you thought to yourself. 'She didn't have to call me out on that in front of those fuckers. Why did this have to happen?' you dropped your head in your hand and pinched the bridge of your nose.

"Why her?" you whispered aloud.

A rowdy clap of thunder and flash of lightning snapped you back from your thoughts. You turned your face skyward and the heavens unleashed upon you. You scowled at the clouds then turned your head to look back towards y/n and Ace. They were further away. 'Perfect.' you grinned to yourself. You took your stride and made sure to keep a good distance between the three of you.

READER POV:

After you arrive to your house with Ace, you decided it best to leave it at the door. You insisted that he go to his house and pack up some of his things and to come back tomorrow afternoon. With not too much protest he agreed and gave you a tight hug before heading down the way back to the bar to help Sabo finish closing.

Panic mode hit the minute you closed the door. You had a shit ton of cleaning that needed to be done. You had a sink full of dirty dishes but the thing was, you don't remember the last time you cooked. Dear lord, that's gonna be a smell. You gagged at the thought.

"Cue the music!" You announced to no one as you walked over to your computer and powered it up.  You hit Pandora and went with the Alternative station. Weak and Powerless by A Perfect Circle came on. 'Yes....this is what I need.' you thought. 'Thank you Maynard.'

You decided to start by throwing a bunch of Dawn in the sink and filling it with water to let that mess get soaked off and you'd deal with it in the morning.  From there is was miscellaneous cleaning and prepping the guest room that just really held all your junk and art projects.

You froze upon entering the living room.

'So weak and powerless....over you...'

Something was off, you could feel it. You grabbed one of the decorative knives you had off the wall and curled the flat side against your forearm, blade out. You felt the skin crawl on your spine when you felt the eyes of someone else staring at you from your right peripheral. You swallowed hard and swung the blade towards the intruder. Next thing you knew you were up against a wall with a hand around your throat.

"FUCK! OFF!" you choked out between breaths.

"Oh, c'mon doll. You used to like this." he breathed in your ear.

"KID?!" you shouted before his mouth collided with yours instantly stifling any protests.

You kicked him in the side and he dropped you. "Fuck me! You trying to kill me, goddammit!" you screamed. He just rubbed his side and walked over to you with that smirk. That motherfuckin' smirk you wanted to slap off his face every time you saw it. It made your stomach flip. You knew what was about to happen but something else was taking over. You jumped over the sofa trying to put as much room between him and you as possible.

"I see you sent small fry home. Couldn't handle it?" Kid chided.

"Tch. He needed to go and pack. He'll be here tomorrow. Not that it's any of your pussy ass business." You snapped, "You didn't even want to come here! Which leads me to the question, why the fuck are you here?!"
