Chapter 5: identity

Law's POV:
—————————-
I sighed as I marched to my locker, I peeked in it slightly, awaiting another sweet letter. And there was one, except..it wasn't exactly a letter. It was a phone number. Many questions sprang in my head at once. Is this their number? I quickly pulled out my phone and typed in the digits, and hesitantly sent a message.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 ?

My palms grew sweaty and my head grew light. A small ding chimed from my phone.

𝗜𝘁𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁.

I gulped.

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀?

I patiently waited for a moment.

Luffy's POV:
—————————
So he IS getting the letters. I grinned to myself before typing back.

𝗬𝗲𝗽. 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺?

I leaned against the classroom chair. Staring at the screen.

𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝘁.

I blushed and stared at my phone like it was an adorable puppy. Maybe tarao does like me...before I could anwser the bell rung, amending class.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹. 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀, 𝗶 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

i smiled at the message and giggled. Causing Robin to look my way. "You seem rather cheery today, what seems to be the accession?" I only smiled back at her, "oh it's nothing.." I muttered. "Jeez everyone's going crazy. Prom's tonight and everyone is freaking out." Franky said and sketched on the notebook that we usually took notes on. "Any of you guys got a date or are we going as friends?" Nami asked and tied her hair up in a ponytail. I could see zoro eyeing sanji from across the table. "I'm planning to go with Kaya." Ussop said clicking a pen in his right thumb. "What about you and Franky? You guys going together or what?" Nami cooed at Robin. Franky flushed red and turned to his notebook. Robin only smiled. "Yes. We are." She spoke and settled her hands on her desk. "You planning to ask anyone Luffy?" Nami asked and turned my direction..Well crap. This is the question i was avoiding. "W-well yeah." I said honestly and coughed. "..WHAT?! WHO?!" She said and shook my shoulders like some sorta maniac. "NOT TELLING!" I said and faced away from her. "Oi, quit making noise in my class." The teacher said and everyone turned to face us. Mihawk I think his name was. "Anyways, you and me should totally go shopping with me after school, you need to dress to impress if your going with someone." She whispered and I shrugged. "But I'm not a girl." She smacked her forehead in dissatisfaction. "I meant for a suit moron." I made a small "oh" noise before turning to face the teacher once more.

Law's POV:
————————-
I sighed and could surprisingly barely focus during class. I've made the drastic decision to ask this "writer" to prom. I wanna find out who the one I've fallen for really is. What they look like, what they smell like, how they talk, how they walk, everything. I've never really thought about if it's a girl or a guy. But to be honest I don't care. Gender isn't something that matters to me to much. I've never really thought about my sexuality, it's just labels. I just go with whatever.  I looked up from my desk, I've already missed half the notes. I quickly jot down what I can, and as soon as the bell rung I went in the hallway and pulled out my phone. I began to type with shaking hands. "𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺-" before I could finish typing I bumped into someone and my phone fell in the process. Well great. Luckily my phone hit the floor facing down, boy was I lucky. "Ah! Sorry I—tarao?" I recognize that voice from anywhere. It's Luffy. Well crap. "Uh hey." I said and looked down at him with nervous eyes. "Well I've really gotta g-" before I could leave he tugged on my sleeve. "Wait. There's something important I r-really wanna..ask." He stuttered and looked up at me with a nervous gaze. "Make it quick." I said and rested my phone at my side. "Will you..go to prom with me?" I felt a knot form in my stomach. I was afraid of this exact situation. A moment of silence passed and I finally spoke. "I'm..I'm sorry Luffy. I'm already going with someone." I said and I could hear the pitty in my own voice. "W-what?" He breathed and looked at me and his eyes became puffy. And fuck did that make me feel like an asshole. "I'm..I'm sorry." Was all that I could spill. I looked down to see him wiping back tears, before I knew it he ran off..was that really the right decision?

Luffy's POV:
————————
I ran into the bathroom stalls and hugged my knees against my chest, my back resting against the scribbled on stalls. I tried my best to sniff back the tears that threatened my eyes but they just kept spilling. I huffed as I heard the doors to the bathroom open. "Oi, everything ok?" It was zoro. "How did you know i was in here?" I sniffed through my sobs. "Nami saw you run in here and told me to check on you." He said. "So what's going on?" He said and opened the stall while sitting down next to me. "I tried to ask him to prom..he said no." Zoro looked over at me. "What?" I nodded and turned my tear stained cheeks away from him. "Well did he say why?" I pouted slightly. "He's going with someone already.." I heard zoro scoff. A moment of silence passed and nothing but the sniffs of my tears could be heard through the bathroom walls. "I'm sure Nami doesn't have a date ether, why don't you guys go as freinds?" I hummed. It wasn't a bad idea. She did ask to choose an outfit with me after school. "I'll let you think about it. See ya at lunch buddy." He said and gave me a pat to the back and Leaving me alone in my thoughts.

-time skip-

I sighed as Nami pulled into the mall's parking lot. "Alright Luffy, c'mon." She said and tugged my arm in all sorts of directions. "So what style are you going for? Fancy and sharp or simple yet formal?" Those words hurt my head. "What?" I spoke with a puzzled look. She shook her head. "Never mind, just leave it to me." She said confidently and dragged me to all sorts of different stores. "Ok ok." She said more to herself than me. "How about..ooh this would be nice, or this one." Nami spoke grabbing already 3 different suits. "They all look the same." I whined and she scoffed in response. "No they do not!" She argued and grabbed another suit. "Ok you hold these, I'll go look for some dresses for myself." She sang happily and went to the women's section. As she went to do that, I walked around the store. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through Instagram, all I saw was a bunch of couples..I frowned and that's when my phone made a dinging noise in my hand.

𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗢:   𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲, 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗶 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲.

I froze as I processed what just happened. I also realized Torao doesn't know who I really am when it comes to the letters..is that what he meant when he said he was going with someone? My heart thumped rapidly in my chest. "NAMI NAMI!!" I screeched as ran over to her. "Whaaa-" she groaned but stopped mid sentence when she I shoved the message in her face. "AHHH YOU HAVE A DATE." she squealed. "Alright, now that that's settled go try those  on than." She said and pushed me towards the dressing rooms.  So this is it, I'm really going to prom with tarao..I thought as I sat down with a flustered face in the bench of the changing room.
