First Fight with Kid
Requested from Tumblr
A/N: I overslept so Iāll try to post after work and tomorrow. Thank you all for the support so far. (Also, thereās one more Eustass Kid request of these so if heās your fav, this Valentineās event was really for you)
āIf I knew you were going to be so needy and annoying, I wouldnāt have accepted your feelings.ā
Those words left you frozen, your words dying down. You had only wanted to bring up how he was making you feel lately. It was as if you werenāt his partner. But he kept brushing you off, making anger course through you, thus the argument. A sadness overwhelmed you and your face cracked from rage to scrunched up from the tears that were welling up. Kid froze as well after glancing at your face and you tried to bring back the rage; you didnāt want him to see how he affected you.
āThen I take them back! You jerk!ā Then you were gone.
You kept away from the ship, occupying yourself with the island and all its stores. But no matter how much you window-shopped or filled up with food, Kidās words still were in your head. There was a pain in your chest as you took a seat by the ocean, away from the ship but still in view so that they didnāt leave you. Not that they would try but you never know, especially after your argument.
The more you thought about your relationship, the more you felt the sickening weight in your chest and the feeling of throwing up. You were the one that confessed, the one that put a label on the relationship, and the one that initiated affection. Had he just been entertaining you? You were truly falling for him and yet⦠was it all just out of pity?Ā
āWhatās a pretty thing like you doing out here? All alone?ā A voice purred, getting louder as they approached you. You sighed, keeping your gaze on the waves ahead of you. You didnāt want to deal with these fools approaching you. Canāt you be miserable on your own? You stretched your arm out and flipped them off, making the man and his two friends chuckle. When you heard that they kept their pace, you sighed again and brushed the sand off of your pants as you stood up. āOh, feisty as well? Youāre just my type-ā
You turned and lodged your foot into the manās stomach, sending him flying back between his two friends. You lowered your foot and watched as he rolled in the sand before moving your gaze to his friends. You spotted the way their legs shook so you took a seat instead of taking care of them, wondering if they would leave or youād have to send them flying too.Ā
āHow dare you! You little- AH!āĀ
You didnāt turn your head, choosing to rest your chin on your knees as you heard two loud thumps along with the yells of pain. You knew who it was without having to turn around but that didnāt stop the lump from forming once more in your throat. You heard his heavy footsteps in the sand before he sat down next to you. You put your hands in the sand to push yourself up but you felt his human hand wrap around your wrist.
āDonāt.ā The grip on your wrist was tight and you only sighed and moved your free hand to wrap it around your knee. His grip loosened on you and you fully hugged your knees again, turning your face away from him.Ā
He didnāt say anything which annoyed you. You longed to be closer to him so at least your arms were touching but his words from earlier scratched their way back. You couldnāt even bring yourself to be angry again. You just wanted to not feel so hurt anymore. You sighed after a couple of minutes of silence and you sat up, patting the sand off of your legs. Anything to not look at the man.
āI⦠I meant it back then. I take back⦠my confession. If my feelings only annoy you, then thereās no reason to continue pretending, right? So⦠Yeah, I take it back-ā
āNo, you arenāt.ā His voice startled you, especially when his shadow was the only indication that he had moved before his hands held your shoulders. Your wide eyes met his narrowed ones as he now was on his knees to be closer to you. āYouāre not taking anything back, idiot.ā
Your eyes narrowed now and you put your hands over his to peel them off of you but he only tightened his grip. āYou canāt tell me what to do!ā The annoying lump in your throat came back and this time your eyes started to burn and fill with tears. āWhy donāt you want me to take it back?! Iām annoying and needy to you so whatās the point if Iām the only one that cares about our relationship!ā
You couldnāt look into his eyes anymore as you moved your gaze to your lap, tears finally slipping as you choked out on the last word. Even your hands on his loosened to fall on your lap as the sadness overwhelmed you. No matter how much you tried to believe that it was easy to say all this, it hurt. You truly cared for Kid but could you really continue feeling like he didnāt care? Your thoughts were interrupted when you felt his hand on your cheek, the warmth of his skin something that surprised you every time.
āI love you.ā He rumbled, making your eyes widen and shoot up to look into his. His face was scrunched up from being flustered with a blush running across his face to his ears. Your breath hitched as your hands trembled. His eyes glanced away before meeting your eyes again. āI⦠I didnāt mean what I said. Youāre not annoying and youāre not clingy.āĀ
He sighed heavily before dropping his hand so that it wrapped around your waist, his metal arm joining it, hugging you tightly to him. He pressed his forehead to your shoulder and your wide eyes could only look straight ahead towards the water. You tried to keep the tears back but some slipped again as he rumbled against your skin, words that you rarely, if ever, have heard from him.
āIām sorry⦠Youāre mine so⦠donāt take it back.ā After a moment of silence on your end, his arms tightened around you and he groaned against your shoulder. āWill you say something, brat?ā
You turned your head a bit to look at his red hair only to see his ears were red as well. You took a shaky breath before raising your arms to wrap around his neck, no longer feeling your limbs were made of lead.Ā
āI love you too, Kid⦠Youāre still so mean to me, thoughā¦ā You murmured. You felt his body relax before he moved his hands to under your thighs so he could lift you. He fell back on his butt and hugged you tighter with you on his lap. His actions made you blush and you squeaked when he pinched your side.
āAnswer me faster, idiot. You had me scared for nothing.ā He growled but he nuzzled against your neck anyway. You sighed softly but still let yourself relax.
āYou have to make it up to me.ā You felt a kiss against your skin where your neck and shoulder met as a response before he squeezed you gently.
āYeah, yeah. Whatever.ā He sighed against your skin, sending a shiver down your spine.
You took a deep breath. You knew that you would have to bring up your concerns again but you were sure that he would actually listen this time around.
