chapter 5:
back down

Luffy walked into his classroom. Everyone was already talking over something. Luffy wasn't that popular with many people considering he likes guys. He sighed and sat down in his chair. He kept thinking about Law.

He's the first guy that made him feel some type of way.

Even though he usually drools over any handsome guy he sees, Law is different. Law made him feel, special. Luffy sniffled a bit and held back his tears. He can't let everyone know he's been crying. Even after Sanji's pep talk, Luffy has still been feeling down.

"Oh my god did you hear about that new student Law?" Someone whispered.

Luffy's ears perked up slightly, he didn't really like the thought of eavesdropping. Well, he actually did. He loved it, he leaned in a little closer to listen to his classmates who were talking next to him.

"What about him?" One of them asked.

"He's dating the cheer captain, I think her name is Nico Robin?" They replied.

Luffy's heart shattered into tiny little bits, and those tiny little bits were crushed by the feet of reality. Was Law really using him for sex? Is that all he is to Law? Luffy shot up and ran out of the classroom. He sniffled while wiping his flowing tears that just kept coming.

He sprinted to the bathroom and shut the door. How could Law do something like that? Sanji was right, he does get his hopes up. Luffy cried softly in the bathroom stall. He thought Law was different, that he was kind since everyone in this town is mainly homophobic. Law and him could've been in a relationship.

He gasped hearing the bathroom door open. Luffy frowned and sat on the toilet, making sure his feet aren't shown. But he couldn't stop his tears and sniffling.

"Hello? Is someone here?" A familiar voice asked.

Luffy mumbled, "Sanji? Is that you?"

Sanji opened the bathroom stall Luffy was sitting in. His eyes softened as he saw Luffy crying. He hugged the raven-haired in his arms as Luffy started to bawl once again.

"What's wrong?" Sanji questioned.

"L-Law..." Luffy cried, "He's dating someone else. He's dating that stupid cheer captain..."

"What?..." Sanji breathed.

"I'm such an idiot... You're right I do get my hopes up." Luffy cuddled closer to Sanji.

"You're not an idiot." Sanji petted rubbed his back, "Try dating some new guys."

Luffy sniffled, "Okay..."

The school bell rang, Luffy cleaned himself up and wiped his eyes. Sanji and him both left to go to their lockers. Everyone was talking about how Law and Robin were dating. The new hot guy and the cheer captain, a perfect match.

Well not in Luffy's eyes.

When both of them were walking back to the bakery there were people lined up at SMILE. Sanji frowned and they both ran up to the store. On the large window there was a poster of their new macaroons, and to be honest they looked good as hell.
