#Wrote this on a whim and a craving for kid and Killer content

[rubidusmagnet]

People on the dash get to have some free Kid + Killer ficlet content because I’m back to writing and want to smother you all with more OP content.

 and Jugum, @sicklesandscythes here’s a poke from me.

Also EDIT: OP Wano spoilers down below so watch yourselves

The party looked to finally be dying down this late in the night. With Kaido and Big Mom felled, a vast air of relief and jubilation spread amongst the crowd now calming down. Given the exhaustion most everyone was in however, it didn’t seem likely that anyone would be up to move elsewhere to sleep.

The Kid pirates themselves however, kept a bubble of space to themselves towards the outer ring of party-goers. Amongst them sat their Captain and first mate who leant on each other for subtle support. The wounds dealt to them having been great enough to even keep Kid’s infamous boisterous attitude at bay, combine that with his ever watchful and suspicious gaze towards anyone who dared walk too close to his crashed out nakama and so it wasn’t a wonder why he was still up.

“ Fwafafa~” Kid grimaced very slightly at the sound, That was a problem he will have solved before they left Wanos shores.

“You kicked that old hags ass good, Kid?”

The Captain in question’s shoulder shook with his laughter at that. Oh how he wished it had been just him that sent Big Mom out. Working with the likes of Trafalgar fucking Law never failed to rub him raw and just thinking about it made his wounds surge with a pain that made him hunch forward with a choke cutting his mirth off.

“ Yeah I sure did Kil’, hopefully that big bitch is down for good this time.”

Killer hummed at this and seemed to slump a little more into Kid’s least injured side. Both of their battles were catching up to them it seemed, because even Kid struggled to keep his eyes from shutting on occasion only to startle back up when he recalled just what reason he was trying to stay awake for.

He did not feel safe even among a room full of allies... Allies, heh, look where that fucking took him even if the end result was much better than he ever could have hoped for. The only cost was that his crew got screwed with in the process and he couldn’t forgive himself for not being there for them and especially Killer when he took that SMILE fruit.

The soft thud of a familiar mask against his bandaged shoulder jolted Kid out of his thoughts that were spiraling downhill and thinking Killer had finally fallen asleep, he was swiftly proven wrong when he checked over the other with his haki.

“ I think it’s time to rest don’t you? Should be safe to close our eyes for a moment or two.”

Well shit, leave it to Killer to be a voice of reason. Kid knew he was trying to put his brother in arms at ease but still he couldn’t help but be a bit reluctant in following his crew to sleep.

Feeling his tension Killer piped up once more. “ Look all around us Kid, I don’t think anybodies in any shape to start shit.”

Again he was right, bodies now littered the floor and the air drifted with the sounds of snores from unconscious bodies. If anybody did try, Kid would no doubt be able to handle them with ease despite his own weariness, Killer too would be there to support him.

“ Fine, but if I get my throat slit open I’m haunting your ass.”

“ Sure thing buddy.”

Draining the last dregs of sake from the bottom of his cup, Kid felt the tension he’d been harboring all night finally give way and with the final closing of his eyes, he too slumped up against Killer’s prone body. Worrying about the future could be left for tomorrow, but here in the present it was time to finally sleep and find some measure of peace.
