(Au! Supernatural! Kidlaw) Taming A Demon

A Week

"What do you mean 'I'm on my own'?!"

Kidd had the decency not to scream that out for the whole street to hear, but a demon's senses were strong, and Law still went out of his way to take a pause in his meal and give a concerned look his way.

Waving him off with a wave of his hand, the redhead was able to allow an amused smirk crack through- mostly at the expense of how hard Law was making it seem to use chopsticks, until Akainu's voice reached him again.

"I said you're on your own! We have no time or the money to waste on scavenging the globe for you-" Kidd pursed his lips at the boldface lie, "besides, if you were incompetent enough to mess up on a mission like this, then you might as well be better left lost"

Okay, now that...

Maybe it was because he was so sure Kidd wouldn't be able to ever return, but Akainu never dared go as to demean him that far, and there was no way Kidd was going to let him go that far, world's hailed exorcist be damned.

"What?! That's bullshit! I know for a fact-!" "Are you questioning me Eustass?!" The redhead flinched back and hissed for his poor, poor ear.

If anyone could beat him at yelling, it was Akainu.

"Listen here- you know what? Nevermind-" oh the apprentice could already feel the rage that must've been building up in waves.

"I'll be back in a week's time, so don't you worry about little old me, sir" voice dripping with sarcasm, by the time Kidd already hung up on the man, he regretted not sticking around a little longer, just to hear the fucker lose his shit.

The apprentice took a moment or two, staring hard into the public phone until a rapid knocking was heard against the booth's glass, like that was a trigger, a wide grin split along his face, and it only grew wider upon seeing Law pressed up against the glass, with his own smile puckered up by swollen cheeks.

Stepping out of the booth, the redhead laughed, allowing Law to hook an arm around his elbow and lead him to an alley, the best way to have a conversation clear from the street's many stray eyes.

"Well, it looks like we're on our own to get back" watching the demon swallow whatever he had in his mouth, Kidd only raised a nonexistent brow as Law pulled out a container of dumplings, seemingly from thin air, and spent no time ripping at them like a man possessed.

"I thought those noodles from earlier would've been enough.." although, suddenly the redhead felt concern as Law proceeded to finish the dumplings in record time, and proceed to pull out another container of food, and another, and another..

As the demon focused on nothing but the food in his hands, the apprentice leaned over the smaller man and studied his face for any abnormalities, "hey, you've been starved or what..?"

For the first time since Law tugged him off the street, the demon looked him in the eyes and blinked, evidently only beginning to listen to him now.

After what seemed to have been a real struggle with himself, Law moved his face away from the container and actively forced himself to keep his attention on Kidd, "sorry.. being in the middle of a place like this.. swarming with people's sins, it makes it hard to control my own"

That seemed to have been the end of Law's self control, as the demon immediately went back to stuffing his face with whatever he could get his hands on- as Kidd finally realized that Law was using magic to steal food from nearby vendors.

Kidd pursed his lips at the info.

So demons were affected by the sins of other people..

If that was the case, then his partner was utterly useless in this state.
