4 days until Leila's departure

Leila knocked on Law's office, to which he hummed in approval for her to enter. She peeked her head around the door and saw Law with his head buried in books and different journals. He wore reading glasses, something Leila had never seen before and his eyes looked tired and worn.

"Did you need something?" He asked her warmly, flitting his attention from his work to her.

"No" Leila said softly, walking into his office quietly. She never liked to bother him when he was working – she admired how hard he worked but thought he overdid it. She placed a plate down on the edge of his desk, colorful fruits and nuts filled the plate up to the brim. Law raised an eyebrow at her in confusion.

"Here, snacks" She smiled at him sweetly, her intentions purely wholesome.

"I didn't ask for any..." Law murmured, taking a nut and crunching on it as he turned attention back to his work. Leila smirked as she saw him already begin to eat and she felt somewhat pleased.

"I know, but you need to keep your energy up." Leila stole a sliced apple from his plate and munched on it happily, her eyes glossing over all of his medical journals.

"Do you want to keep me company for a bit?" Law looked up at her briefly, making her slightly surprised. He usually ushers people out of his office quickly.

"Sure..." She murmured, moving over to his bookcase and taking an interesting one out. She sat down in the corner of the office in a small chair, not meant for sitting on for long periods of time. The two sat in comfortable silence, reading and occasionally scribbling notes down. Her presence calmed Law undeniable.

Leila would occasionally glance up to observe the handsome doctor. His dark features focused intensely on the papers in front of him. His chiseled jawline and thick arms caught Leila's attention. She didn't even notice she was ogling him; she could have practically been salivating at the man before her.

'He is way too fine...' She thought, swooning to herself internally and turning her attention back to her book.

2 days until Leila's departure

Leila walked down the hallway of the Heart Pirates sub. Life had been relatively calm. Law had been busy with his client, leaving Leila to enjoy the other crewmate's company. Other than Shachi, he had gotten wrapped up with the blonde girl from the market, which nobody seemed to mind much.

That morning she was training with Penguin – no devil fruit abilities this time, and the two had made some good progress. Law even hung around for a bit longer this morning, but he seemed somewhat distracted by Leila's short dress that she had been wearing. By the time she had wrapped up her training, he had already left for his work. Nothing had been said about the affectionate kiss he had given to her nights before – he was busy with his work and the ship was busy also. Leila would be lying if she said she didn't miss him.

Citizens from the village had grown well acquainted with the Heart Pirates – mainly due to Bepo's friendliness – and the ship was bustling with activity today. Leila was walking to her room when suddenly, she felt a strong arm grab her forearm and pull her into the ships study. The study was small, cramped and littered with medical journals. Nobody tends to visit it other than Law. Leila felt a sudden spike in anxiety as she clutched at the unknown assailant but she let out a deep breath when she noticed his tattooed knuckles.

"Law!! Don't grab me like that, what are you tryi-" She spoke angrily at him before she was cut off by his lips feverously pressed against hers. He shut the door lightly behind them as he clutched her chin delicately, lifting her face up to kiss her deeper. Leila softened in his arms like melted butter as she rested her fingers against his torso.
