Chapter 3: silent admirers

Law's POV:
———————
I dragged myself down the halls, books in hand and mind set on that odd straw hat I met today, something's off but not in a bad way. I opened my locker and to my surprise a small slip of paper fell out. I slowely unfolded the small thing, and read it word for word.

I love you
That's my secret.
No hearts, no poems or pretty messages.
I love you.

:)

I felt my heart flutter. It was so short yet so sweet. But the real question is who the hell gave me this? I blushed and quickly put it in my locker before going to my next class. Weird, I'm not exactly looking for a partner but something tells me it would be rude to just throw it out, I'm not interested in romance but I know it takes a lot of courage to tell someone you love them. I went to the lunch room and already saw bepo, Sachi, and penguin waiting for me. I sighed and went over to them. "Soooo how's it been?" Sachi said taking a bite of a burger. "It's fine I guess." I said looking across the lunchroom at straw hat and his friends, he seems so carefree. "Well we heard straw hat has a new friend" penguin teased and I'm guessing he noticed. I didn't respond. "We're not his only friends ya know." Bepo muttered softly fidgeting with his thumb. "Eh, guess you have a point there.." suddenly Sachi gasped and pulled penguin by the hat, "dude what the?!—" his sentence was cut short when penguin started whispering in his ear. Oh boy what dumb shit are they up to now?

Luffy's POV:
————————
"You gonna eat that?" I whined across the table. "Yes now leave me alone and eat your own food!" Ussop scolded. I sighed dramatically as if the world could end in seconds. "Calm down you can have some of mine." Zoro said scooting his food closer to me. I immediately brightened and gobbled down the food. So yummy..I was interrupted when I heard people yelling at each other and..torao? "What the hell are you shit heads doing?!" He said talking to two guys with weird hats. They seemed to be dragging him towards us. My crew gave each other confused glances. "Have you forgotten about the no touching rule?!—" he was pulled to holt in front of us. I stared at him in his grey pretty eyes, as the crew started shouting things that I didn't care about. A small silence passed. "Um..hi.." he stuttered. ..cute. Torao  is cute. "Shishi, hi torao!" I said and patted the seat next to me ordering him to sit. He took a seat next to me as a awkward silence filled the air. "Torao, where's your food? Don't you have anything to eat?" I asked in a sincerely worried tone. "Just not hungry that's all." He said and shrugged. I shook my head in disbelief, how can one simply not eat? I handed him a half of a sandwich I had. "You can have this!" I said and gave him a warm smile. A shade of pink dusted his cheeks and he grabbed the sandwich. "So um..nice to meet you, uh..tarao was it?" Ussop said rubbing his chin. I laughed at his antics. "Just..call me law. Trafalgar law." He spoke and took a bite of the food. "So law-kun, are you this 'new freind' we've heard about?" Robin asked.

Law's POV:
————————
He's already told them about me..well just my clucking fucking luck. As if this situation couldn't get anymore awkward. "Uh, I guess." I said trying to sound as not sarcastic as possible. "Alright truckalcar law, tell us about your self" .....I'm sorry was he talking to me because that is nowhere near my name. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and turned to the green haired man.

-time skip-

That was the most awkward lunch I've had in my entire lifetime. I walked to my next class with straw hat, I should really get his real name.."your names Luffy, right?" I asked glancing down at him. "Yep!" He said and smiled. "By the way tarao.." he muttered. "Yeah?" He looked up at me with his brown doe eyes. "There's something I kinda..wanted to—" he was interrupted with the ring of the bell. "Tell me after class." I simply stated and made my way to my science classroom. I wonder what he wanted to say..never mind that. As I walked down the hall a particular flyer caught my eye.

꧁𝑃𝑅𝑂𝑀 𝑁𝐼𝐺𝐻𝑇꧂
-
𝐹𝑅𝐼𝐷𝐴𝑌 𝐴𝑇  8-10 𝑃𝑀
𝐴𝑃𝑃𝐸𝑇𝐼𝑍𝐸𝑅𝑆 𝐴𝑆 𝑊𝐸𝐿𝐿 𝐴𝑆 𝐷𝑅𝐼𝑁𝐾𝑆 𝑃𝑅𝑂𝑉𝐼𝐷𝐸𝐷
𝑆𝐸𝐸 𝑆𝑇𝐴𝐹𝐹 𝐹𝑂𝑅 𝑀𝑂𝑅𝐸 𝐷𝐸𝑇𝐴𝐼𝐿𝑆 𝑂𝑅 𝑄𝑈𝐸𝑆𝑇𝐼𝑂𝑁𝑆

𝐵𝑅𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝑌𝑂𝑈𝑅 𝑆𝑃𝐸𝐶𝐼𝐴𝐿 𝑆𝑂𝑀𝐸𝑂𝑁𝐸! ♡︎

I scoffed at the last sentence. I sure as hell don't have that, but I know bepo and the others would probably wanna go..I grab a flyer and quickly rush to my next class.

Luffy's POV:
————————-
That damned bell..I really wanted to tell torao how I feel. I hope he at least had gotten my letter, maybe I should right him another one. It's less nerve racking. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a peace of paper beneath my feet. I stopped in my tracks and looked down. On the white tiles of the hall stood a baby pink printed flyer. From what I could see, the top letters just below the line of my shoes read, "꧁𝑃𝑅𝑂𝑀 𝑁𝐼𝐺𝐻𝑇꧂" a puzzled look came across my face. Prom, it's the thing with all the dancing and stuff right? Nami told me something about how people usually bring dates or go with a group of friends. Maybe we could all go! Dates..I blushed at the thought of me and torao  going together..I wonder what it would be like. What if he kissed me?..I felt the heat rise to my cheeks and quickly shook it away. ...maybe I should ask him to go with me. I wonder what he would say..maybe sometime later. I giggled and slipped the paper in my pocket, and strolled to my next class with ease. Torao filled my thoughts the rest of the class as images of what it would be like if we went to prom flashed in my mind.  I guess this is what love is, why didn't anyone tell me it felt so great?
