Hello! May I get some strawberries and possibly some mango with a mai tai (Kidd) and songs 3,4 and 16 from the playlist please! Thank you so much!
hihi  ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡ i love writing for kidd, he’s so ridiculous all day every day. ty for requesting & i hope you have fun reading 💛💕
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1k words (it wasn’t my fault), gn reader (no pronouns), nsfw, 18+ mdni; fluff (it’s there somewhere) & smut; feat. kidd & reader in denial bc that’s how i live my life, a lil fwb except is that all there is~, alcohol, kidd being dumb & that’s how reader likes him (tbh me too), rough sex (does kidd even know the definition of gentle? no?), kitchen sex, choking, a lil bit of a hand job, idk no real warnings except eustass kidd deserves his own warning bc *motions to him* have u seen that man in action (if u see spelling errors/grammar mistakes no u didn't 💕)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it’s not goodbye, you remind yourself for the fourth time that night, throat suddenly dry at the thought. the ice in your cup melted a while ago, so you toss the watered-down drink onto the sand before standing up. when eustass kidd insisted on throwing a party, you didn’t think much of it; how quickly you forget that pirates are notorious for their theatrics and kidd isn’t immune to that behavior.
a large bonfire blazes in the middle of the beach, the air warm and sticky; you hate how humid it is and hate that you let the others talk you into drinking. now your hair is tied up, to keep its thickness away from your neck and face, as sweat glides down your skin. without looking back, you leave everyone behind and make the short trek back to your house. you’re determined to shower and call it a night; you doubt your presence will be missed that much.
after downing another shot of tequila, a frown works its way onto kidd’s lips as he stares at the empty shot glass in his hand. he’d meant to just have a few drinks, but he got roped into game after game by his crew mates and he lost track of time.
now you’re gone.
it’s a sobering enough thought that he shoves the glass into wire’s hand, not bothering to explain himself as he goes searching for you. he doesn’t like that you left the party early, and he doesn’t like that he’s a little bit miserable because you’re not with him right now.
it’s foolish to feel that way and equally foolish to want to do something about it. he knows that, but it’s not enough to make him turn back around.
when he finds your backdoor unlocked — a nasty habit that he can’t believe you refuse to correct — a small wave of irritation surrounds him. you didn’t bother locking the door because you knew he’d eventually make his way over — you assumed it would be much later, but kidd is always unpredictable.
and because he’s incapable of stealth when he’s annoyed, you hear him rummaging through your kitchen. you stand in the doorway, hands on your hips as you watch him eat several pastries in a row.
the man’s stomach is an abyss, you’re quite sure of it now.
“there are plates, y’know,” you say lightly, a teasing smile sliding onto your face with ease, “and napkins too.” since it’s obvious kidd has no home training whatsoever. he doesn’t see what the fuss is, but he knows it drives you crazy when he does that — which is possibly why he keeps doing it.
“didn’t feel like using them.”
his answer should annoy you, but it doesn’t; if anything, it just makes you smile again, a little sadly this time. it doesn’t go unnoticed by kidd, however, who narrows his eyes at you.
“why do you keep leaving that door unlocked?”
you blink a few times, confusion briefly taking hold of you before you realize he’s serious. “you ask me that all the time,” you counter and walk over to him, voice airy as you decidedly stuff the rest of your complicated feelings for him into a tiny box. “and what do i always say?” you place your hands on his chest — soft and gentle, which only annoys him even more.
because you like to do that — touch him like you care, like you enjoy his presence. his mind likes to play tricks on him, so he refuses to believe it; except it’s hard to tell the truth from fiction when he leans down to kiss you. all those pesky, bothersome thoughts coast to the back of his mind when you lick a bit of powdered sugar from his lips.
when he kisses you again, a different kind of heat passes through you, making you press closer, practically melting against him when his tongue caresses yours. it’s in between sloppy tongue kisses that he asks you to come with him — the decision is rash, and he hasn’t thought it through all the way, but the idea of you staying behind only pisses him off.
your heart beats a little too loudly at the prospect of leaving home and going off with him, but your answer is lodged in your throat, unable to come out no matter how badly you want to tell him yes.
he knows how deep your stubbornness goes, so naturally he’s just going to have to help you make the right decision. when he hoists you onto the counter, you unzip his pants with hurried movements and kidd groans softly as you start stroking him. you like the luxury of having your own place, but you know you’ll be lonely when kidd leaves — more unpleasant feelings that you can’t seem to keep hidden.
you wrap your legs around him as he inches his cock inside of you — slowly, at first, before he pulls back and snaps his hips forward, thrusting roughly. your lips are on his again, fingers sifting through his hair as he fucks you harder.
“come with me,” he insists again and again, you shake your head and keep your lips pressed together because you know you’re so close to saying otherwise. he clicks his tongue and he grabs your throat so you can look at him. “why?”
you wish he’d let this go — but a small, much more selfish part of you is glad he’s pressing the issue. “because…” you gasp and moan when he squeezes your neck as he gives you short, brutal strokes. kidd’s stamina is unrivaled; he fucks you like he’s trying to break the counter, nearly forgetting himself and his brute strength. he eases up a bit and releases his hold, but you’re panting when you speak again.
“w-what if you get tired of me?” your voice is quiet, but he hears you perfectly clear.
kidd rolls his eyes before tugging on your earlobe with his teeth. “is that all?” a ridiculous fear, but he can’t really judge you, now, can he? kidd fixes you with a pointed look, one that says be serious. he almost admits that he could never be tired of you, not even if he tried.
you want to tell him that you’re being very serious, but don’t get the chance as his cock hits a spot that has you babbling incoherently at him. kidd laughs out loud because knows what your answer really is; he’s just going to keep fucking you until you can say it with conviction.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRICKERS OF THE FRICK RACE!!
We kick of 2024 with a comic I started back in FREAKING AUGUST-!! SOLANNE CONTINUUM presents "SUIKAWARI", based on the Japanese summer activity! Which - they are playing mildly incorrectly (person is supposed to be spun around until dizzy and they whack with a stick, NOT A DIVINE KATANA!).
Also, it's been a HOT minute since I've featured our beloved Valley Elders (ESPECIALLY ELDER-KUN ♥), but lo - another Husband appears forth! He's just trying to make up with Kidde for starting off on the wrong foot back in May www
Overall, despite the compounded focus/energy/interest issues, I managed to get this done. As a Host (read: creator), there is such an IMMENSE satisfaction taking a Paracosm scene out of my head and onto paper, and it always makes the comic-making toil worthwhile.

she's her daddy's girl, her momma's world - chapter 41
Tumblr media
gather 'round the campfire
Maya goes to summer camp and has the summer of her life.
Read on AO3 or below
A large ‘WELCOME PARENTS’ sign, hand painted and decorated with stickers and doodles, was hung from the trees on either side of the entrance. Other handmade signs and crafts lined the entirety of the driveway, bringing a smile to Kelly and Stella’s face as they got a small peek into some of what Maya had been up to the past few weeks.
It had been a busy summer for Maya. Once schools in Chicago broke for the summer, the Severides headed to the beach for a family vacation before the summer plans and summer camps started. After a few days of fun in the sun and a very long road trip, it was time to pack Maya up for her first camp of the summer—Girl Scout camp.
Girl Scout camp in previous years had just been a week-long day camp since Maya was still young but now that she was 10, she was old enough for the sleepaway part of camp. The little girl was excited, but Kelly and Stella were nervous. Maya had been away from home and her parents before but had always been close by or with friends and family. This time, she’d be three hours away with just her troop and chaperones.
It’s not because Stella didn’t trust Maya or the carefully chosen chaperones to join them at camp, because they did. It was more the idea that their firstborn child was old enough for sleepaway camp. Maya had always been independent and had no fears or hesitation about being away from her family for a full week, even at 10 years old.
It was a fact that made Kelly and Stella sad—and proud. So, they agreed Maya could go to Girl Scout camp.
They packed Maya up, loaded the entire family into the car, and hit the road in early June to drop Maya off at camp.
Addie and Nico gave their sister a short hug goodbye, too distracted by their surroundings (and too young to understand that they wouldn’t see Maya for a full week) to make it a long, drawn-out thing. Kelly and Stella held on longer, letting go only when Maya had to leave for her first activity. They said goodbye one last time and told Maya she could come home at any time, she just had to call.
Maya never called. Not that Kelly and Stella expected her to.
Between hiking, swimming, skill-building, arts and crafts, campfires, and smores, Maya didn’t have time to miss her family. She was making friends, earning badges, and having fun. All of the activities they’d done during the week had been a good distraction for Maya but when her parents came to pick her up on the last day of camp, and she got to hug them for the first time in 7 days, the little girl realized she had missed her family.
On the drive back home Maya chatted Kelly and Stella’s ears off, filling them in on everything she’d done that week. She walked them through all of her new badges, what they meant, and what she had to do to get each one. She talked about the crafts she made (most of which were packed safely in her suitcase to display at home) and how much she loved eating the hot dogs and smores they roasted over the fire.
Kelly and Stella smiled the entire way home–not only were they ecstatic that Maya was back with them, but they were happy she’d had such a great experience for her first sleepaway camp experience.
Were they a little hurt that Maya didn’t seem to miss them at all? A little, but if they were honest with themselves, they weren’t expecting her to.
Kelly and Stella weren’t the only ones excited to have Maya back, as evident by the way Addie and Nico all but tackled her in the front yard as soon as she got out of the car. For as much as the 5- and 4-year-old played the part of annoying little siblings well, Maya did miss them while she was gone.
When they all got in the house, Maya launched into retelling her camp adventures for Sadie, Addie, and Nico while Stella and Kelly ordered dinner. Maya gave Addie and Nico the bracelets she’d made for them during arts and crafts, showed off her impressive collection of friendship bracelets from the week, and after hours of begging, Maya agreed to teach them how to make their own.
The trip to the craft store came a few days later after bags had been unpacked and everyone had gotten some much-needed rest.
There wasn’t much time to rest for Maya though.
After she returned from Girl Scout camp, she had a few days to rest before she dove back into activities. The City of Chicago hosted day camps for kids of all ages throughout the summer. Nico was still too young to go to any, and Addie was very limited on the ones she could attend but Maya? She had over a dozen camps to choose from and since city employees/first responder kids got in with a steep discount, Kelly and Stella let her go to as many as the Severide family schedule allowed.
Since the start of the World Cup spurred Maya’s newest obsession with the sport, soccer camp was the first. Maya liked soccer but was not a fan of all the running so week two of soccer camp had her trying her hand at goalie. She liked that position a lot better but ultimately decided she liked watching soccer more than playing soccer.
Golf camp came next, thanks to the influence of an invite from Ella Halstead. Ella lasted the entire week while Maya called it quits after a few days.
“Golf is SO boring mama,” Maya groaned from the backseat. “I don’t know how Ella and Uncle Jay think it’s fun.”
Stella laughed. “I don’t like it either baby, but you don’t have to do or like something just because Ella does. I know you’re best friends but that doesn’t mean you have to like the same things.”
Maya nodded. “Good, cause I don’t like golf.”
Maya spent the rest of the week at home with her siblings until the next camp started. This one was way more her speed—Camp Boots and Badges.
Much to Stella’s joy, the CFD was using Girls on Fire as an example for one of the city’s summer camps. Between a toned-down Girls on Fire and the CPD’s Junior Police program, a two-week first responder camp was created for those kids interested in becoming police officers or firefighters.
More than sixty percent of the campers were the children of first responders and for its first year, Camp Boots and Badges was a roaring success. The first few days the kids learned about police officers, got to take a tour of the 21st precinct, and even got to sit in and look inside a real cop car. The last few days of camp were spent educating the kids on firefighters. They toured a fire station, got to see all the engines and Squad trucks, ran through training drills, and got to try on some of the turnouts and equipment.
Every other camp paled in comparison to Maya after that.
That was until just after the Fourth of July when Kelly and Stella received the call that rocked Maya’s world. For months, Maya had been on the waiting list for Camp Walden, a sleepaway camp across the border in Wisconsin. It was supposed to be her first sleepaway camp experience, but she got waitlisted after all the spots for her age filled up. She had fun at Girl Scout camp but had been crossing her fingers all summer that she’d get to go to Camp Walden.
Her entire obsession with sleepaway summer camp started after she watched a movie with Sadie over winter break and she’d been begging her parents to let her go ever since. Kelly and Stella were cautious and did a lot of research, even convincing the Halsteads to do a few background checks, before deciding on Camp Walden. They made the call within hours of registration opening but by then all the spots for Maya’s age group had been filled.
Maya was disappointed, but she was at the top of the waiting list and there was still a chance a spot would open up for her. As summer began, however, and the start of camp drew closer the chances of Maya getting into Camp Walden seemed slim.
Until they weren’t.
It was a short turnaround between getting the call and dropping Maya off at camp, just a few days to pack everything up and make the drive up north, but they made it work.
Maya was practically vibrating with excitement the entire drive and squealed as they turned onto the camp driveway. Kelly and Stella smiled at her excitement, déjà vu from earlier in the summer washing over them.
Girl Scout camp had been good practice for Maya and good practice for her parents, but Kelly and Stella were still nervous. Girl Scout camp was only a week-long…. Maya would be at Camp Walden for a month. At this point, they weren’t at all worried about how Maya would handle it; they were more concerned about how they would handle being away from her. Kelly and Stella knew Maya would be safe and having fun, and Addie and Nico would keep them plenty busy, but they would miss her. Four weeks in a different state was a lot for any kid, even crazy independent 10-year-olds.
Before they even finished getting Maya unpacked and settled into her bunk the little girl had already made friends with a few of the other girls. Kelly and Stella managed to pull her away for a goodbye hug before leaving her in the capable hands of the counselors and camp staff.
Over the next four weeks, Kelly and Stella received updates on how Maya was doing and lots and lots of pictures—pictures of Maya horseback riding and learning archery, pictures of her doing arts and crafts and laughing with her friends during meal time, pictures of her swimming, playing sports and games, performing in the talent show, and having the time of her life. They even received a few handwritten letters from Maya and some hand-drawn pictures.
The updates helped relieve any residual nerves Kelly and Stella had about Maya being so far away from home and now, as they parked outside of Maya’s cabin, they were more than ready to get their girl back.
The Maya that ran out of the cabin to greet them seemed like a different kid—her curly hair looked longer, despite being in French braids, and it appeared like she had grown an inch or two—but when she wrapped her arms around them, Kelly and Stella knew she was the same Maya they dropped off all those weeks ago.
Packing the car took three times longer than unpacking did because Maya kept getting called away to say goodbye to the friends she made but it wasn’t too long before they were on the road back to Chicago.
Despite her obvious exhaustion, Maya stayed awake the entire ride home, filling the drive with story after story of her days at Camp Walden. More than once Maya told them this summer had been the best summer ever and more than once, Maya thanked them for letting her go to as many camps as she did.
It made Kelly and Stella’s hearts soar. As nervous as they had been to send Maya off on her own to camp, and despite how they and her siblings missed her while she was gone, it was clear that camp had been a great experience for her.

Men who get Cute Aggression when it comes to you
A/N: If you don’t know what cute aggression is, it’s when you see something cute and have the urge to squeeze or hold it tightly without harm
I did this in like an hour pls help
They honestly can’t help themselves when they see you. Any time and every day, they will take the chance to put their hands on you. Whether it be pinching your cheeks, both sets, or thighs or squeezing your thighs as well. They just love to squeeze you and feel you in their hands. They make cooing noises and even squeal a bit when you react with your own cute noises back.
They love to squish your cheeks together so your lips goes into a pouting motion so they can kiss it. It soft kisses at first but then they get super messy with it, tongue fighting it way in and salvia drooling out. Your lips always ends up a bit bruised after. They’re sorry about that, (not really). They have a hard time controlling their strength when it comes to you, they never want to hurt you on purpose of course, it just so hard to fight the urge to hold you tightly all the time!
And don’t get them started on biting, oh lord. They will bite you and leaves mark on every inch of your skin. When sucking on your plush thighs, they bit on there so hard once it made you cry. Now this time, he was actually sorry for real. But he still kept on making more bite marks elsewhere. Favorites places are thighs, shoulders, neck, and chest area. You told him to stop since you didn’t want to wear long sleeves in summer anymore, but he just told you to show them off to the world.
It like an animal marking his prey and his prey was you. It made other guys jealous and he was happy to show you off to the world that you were his and only his.

Summer is coming... So what are they planning for you?
Tumblr media
Citybreak They are planning a long weekend in a city you have always wanted to visit. Nice dinners, taking in the local vibe. Nightlife? Shopping? Museums? Whatever your preference is, they have you covered. Maybe you just want somewhere different to explore and venture around. Looking out your hotel room at night with the skyline of glittering lights! Sanji - Marco - Corazon - Law - Killer - Mihawk - Perona - Boa - Nami - Brook - Robin - Uta
--
Camping The moment summer is around the corner, they get the tent out and make sure it’s ready to go. They are getting into hardcore camping mode. Everything you’d need is all packed and ready. It’s time to have nights out by a lake, maybe fishing or swimming. Campfires and nature are all around you. Thatch - Ace - Sabo - Usopp - Jinbei - Zoro - Luffy --
Beach holiday Sunsets and cocktails, swimming all day, tanning under the sun, building sandcastles together. They can’t wait to feel the sand between their toes and splash you in the water or ensure you have enough sun lotion. Then there is the pier, the view, and the silly games and amusements that line it. Sanji - Marco - Ace - Nami - Jinbei - Franky - Luffy - Robin - Shanks - Crocodile --
Staying at home Both of you are exhausted and just need a rest. You don’t leave your house, and you also don’t lift a finger to work. You both have time to be together, have some movie marathons, catch up on your hobbies, and create creative joint space with one another. You are just decompressing after stress at work. Both of you are ignoring the outside world. Thatch - Deuce - Law - Mihawk - Usopp - Zoro - Robin --
Amusement park holiday They want nothing more than to book a stay at a water park or amusement park. After a long weekend of screaming on the rides, eating junk food, and being scammed at the amusements, they insist on winning you a plush, and in the end, they manage! Walking around the parks until you think your legs might fall off. Taking in the shows and all the entertainment together. Ace - Corazon - Killer - Barto - Sabo - Brook - Franky -Luffy - Buggy - Uta
--
Glamping Wanting to be outside but with class. No sleeping on the ground. They’ve planned a week-long stay at a cabin or a treehouse, maybe a strange-shaped place like a UFO you can sleep in? The calm nights in nature but with a good night's sleep. Also, the hot tub while you listen to the world around you. Thatch - Corazon - Mihawk - Nami - Benn --
Travel to another country It's time to explore another place entirely. They’ve planned this for months, and now it’s time. You both can’t wait to see the sights: the food, the art, the everything. You are immersing yourself in adventures together.  Sanji - Thatch - Deuce - Izou - Law - Doffy - Perona - Sabo - Usopp - Brook - Robin - Shanks - Benn - Crocodile --
Roadtrip Just you and them. The car is packed, the snacks and drinks are loaded in the cooler, and you have a list of things you want to hit on your summer trip. Music, the open road, singing along with one another. Maybe you don’t even have a plan; perhaps you just wing it. Windows down, wind in your hair and being in one another's company. Marco - Ace - Deuce - Kidd - Killer - Sabo - Franky - Zoro - Luffy --
Snowy getaway. Maybe it’s snowboarding and skiing in the cold? Lovely wooden lodges, hot cocoa, and their competitive streak. White snowy scenery and comfy warm sweaters. Log fires and exhausted limbs. Law - Kidd - Ace - Zoro - Robin - Benn --
Resort The best money can buy. Three meals a day, all top-tier with wine, cocktails, and anything you could ask for, brought to your room with the best view in town. A private pool, a private beach area just for you. They have it all planned and want to live in the lap of luxury with you: couples spa day, the works. Sanji - Izou - Doffy - Boa - Nami - Crocodile --
Hotsprings Traditional, calm, relaxing, and good for your soul, it involves just you and your partner chilling out in a beautiful inn with delicious food and birdsong from the garden. This is perfect for you both: taking everything easy at your own pace. Maybe you sit with sake and watch the little animals in the garden. You could cuddle up in the hot spring and feel the world just fade away as you enjoy one another's company in a comfortable silence. Marco - Izou - Law - Killer - Mihawk - Boa - Nami -Jinbei - Zoro - Robin --
Festival Depending on the vibe, you either go camping to a festival with chill vibes or going to fucking party. You guys enjoy the music, so many bands you love. Getting to dance, mosh, sway, whatever to the music together. Getting to camp together as you also meet new people. BBQs, booze, summer vibes for days.
Ace - Kidd - Killer - Perona - Barto - Sabo - Brook - Franky - Uta

KIDD; festival confession
wc: 1639 summary: kidd and name spend the summer matsuri together and confessions were made. warning/s: fem reader, nooooneee very fluff
Tumblr media
"if you take that goddamn long we'll leave you." kidd grumbled by the wooden seat that was too small for him. he was munching on some candy apples killer gave him while waiting for you to get ready. but you know he didn't mean that, like hell he'd leave you when he couldn't keep his hands off you at random parts of the day.
"go ahead, you'll miss me." you replied, trying to figure out where to snag the ornamental hairpin that somehow got tangled with your locks. "one more second, okay? this stupid fucking thing got my hair in a bust!" you tried prying it off your head. it was the last thing you needed to fix before you finally get ready for the festival.
"i'm comin' in." kidd was, of course, too impatient to wait for you. so when he swept the curtains open and ducked down to get in the narrow compartment of a room, his world had fucking stopped for you again.
when he saw you in that bright red yukata adorned with white flowers. he knew you picked the red one because you knew he'd like it. a smile slowly made its way to his lips, you look the same kind of beautiful just as the day he met you.
you look a little silly with the tangled ornament, he snorted and sighed, giving your cheek a little pinch before taking the ornament by his hands. "you shouldn't have tried-"
"shut it." you cut him off, cheeks heating up in embarrassment. kidd was impatient, and eager, and always annoyed. but never with you, he was surprisingly patient and earnest. he even goes an extra mile to craft pretty little trinkets for you. so despite the maddening task that is your hair, he managed to get the knot out of your locks. he was quite literally towering over you so he can clearly see what's going on. you two spend quite a bit of time in there annoyed at that thing.
once it was all gone, you almost discarded the ornament away when kidd yanked it out your hand. "turn around. i'll do it." you took a couple of seconds to look at him, how uncharacteristic of him. "come on," he turned you around himself because his ears were turning red at your gaze.
his fingers combed through your locks, lightly brushing the strands of your hair as he gathered them all in a bun. you shivered lightly each time his knuckles or the tip of his fingers touches the back of your neck. but he wasn't innocent either, the sight of your bare neck and shoulders had him in a chokehold. the honest and strong urge to just grab you by the neck and kiss the spaces that lacked his lip marks. this was a different kind of intimate that you two were too scared of breaking the tension on.
"there." he gave his craft one last look. his human arm reached over from behind and raised your chin so you can look at yourself at the mirror inside the fitting room. "that's how you do it."
you two took your time memorizing and engraving the sight of the both of you in the mirror. kidd and you in a yukata in the absence of bloodshed that is your everyday, devoid of the peril that awaits your lives.
"kidd! name! the fireworks are gonna start soon!" the others called out, both of you snapping back to reality. a bit sad that the moment was cut off short. but this was the reason why you insisted on visiting a festival, you wanted to watch the fireworks with the crew.
"sorry you didn't get to experience the other stuff in the festival before the fireworks started." you nudged him a little, hands behind your back as you two strolled by the cobbled stairs.
"i got to experience something waaay better, don't worry." he replied, catching your eye as you looked back and saw the light tint on his cheeks. he avoided your gaze, pretending he wasn't looking at you.
"kidd i," just before you could finish, the fireworks started and surprised you. as you both descended the stairs, you two stayed at the bottom and admired the dancing lights by the sky. you gazed above as the colors captivated your full attention while you captivated his.
"hm?" he replied, silently observing and committing to memory how you look like tonight. how your eyes glisten with the pirouetting hues of the evening sky, how you perk up and point at the animals and figures the fireworks made, how your cheeks puff up each time you smile at every light that grazed the sky.
"a-ah nothing," you suddenly grew shy, locking glances with him. now dawning at you that he was looking at you the whole time. "just wanted to say thank you, for letting me have this night." you smiled at him, pressing your lips afterward and fiddling with your fingers.
he suddenly took a long, deep breath, avoiding your gaze as you catch his ears reddening. he wanted to say something; something he had been keeping for a long time. but as eustass kidd himself, pride is a much bigger hurdle to overcome. but he might be willing to do it just for you. he said he wouldn't fold first, he said it's you who'll be chasing because apparently 'you're crazy about him', it's you who'll keep dreaming about what life would be like if you two'd tie the knot, and it's you who'd be confessing.
so he himself doesn't know why he reached over for your hand as he pulled you closer. and once he had you in his grasp, his hand ghosted the skin of your neck and held onto your cheek. his fingers spanning the lower side of your neck while his thumb rubbed by your cheek and his palm held your jaw. this was one of the rare moments where he wasn't scowling and he held all the love for you in his eyes.
"then i'd like to say thank you for making the last five years of my life tolerable. i had someone to look forward to everyday. i learned to love and what it feels to be loved. i have my tireless cheerleader by my side at all times, bugging the shit out of me. i have someone to hold close to each sleepless night. i have one delicate treasure in my life i pledge to protect, your smile; i have to keep ya smilin', aye? if the day ever comes where i do the opposite, please fuckin' kill the living shit out of me. 'cuz goddamnit, i finally had one fuckin' weakness. i finally found someone to spend my life with." he couldn't stop the tears streaming down his face. you could tell that he was holding this back a lot for a long, long time. you stayed quiet because it all felt like a dream.
kidd wasn't a very vocal nor a person of words, he always expressed everything through actions or not even at all. but the way you look tonight, he doesn't want to lose that sight of you nor forget the words he wanted to say. eustass kidd was no coward, but when it comes to love and you, he suddenly is nothing but a shell. but he doesn't plan on living like that, nor does he plan to continue to lie to you.
"you broke my goddamn walls, name. from the day you first butted heads with me, from every insult you returned each time i push you away, from each ounce of patience you gave me and hoped for the best in me, from the way you look at me differently, from the times we fought side by side; those always did a number on me, from the warmth you engulf me each cold night the phantom pain haunts me, to the way you smile at me and cheered me on to my dream, our dream. i fucking love you." he choked out a sob, laughing stupidly at himself as if a montage of you appeared on his head.
at his last sentence, the grand finale of the fireworks concluded. your heart will absolutely implode out of your chest. you reached over to hold his hand, removing it from your cheeks and cupping his big fist with both of your hands. "i tamed the beast, huh?" you reached over to wipe the tears on the corner of his eyes, pulling him down by the neck gently. "i always knew you're a little sweetheart inside."
"pft. the pirate king shouldn't be so warm and fuzzy." he pressed foreheads with you, later pressing a kiss on your forehead.
"i do that to you, huh, captain?" you teased him, hug becoming tighter. "say, if you love me that much, why don't you take me out on a date? it's a festival after all." you tilted your head in amusement, poking at his nose. he blinked at you twice, pale at your words. he legit wasn't ready for this.
receiving no response, you leaned in to his ear and whispered. "i'll give you a kiss after."
"why not do it now?" he fixed you in place with a firm grasp on your lower back. "don't make your captain wait." he said in a low tone, leaning back a little so he could raise your chin. he got a good look at how all the blood in your face rose. so he took matters in his own hands and planted a kiss on your lips, under the bright moonlight and the surrounding festival music across town. killer and the others figured kidd finally confessed from the evident red in his ears and cheeks when you two got back.
