mask of anxiety (trafalgar law x reader)

Ch. 12

3rd pov

"you saw that lady toriel? I kept myself from breaking a promise" they said as they smiled peacefully with their eyes softly closed as they breathe softly.

Next day....

(y/n) just got up remembering nothing from yesterday other than being thrown against a wall

"captain, what happened yesterday?" she asked her captain who was sleeping just right beside her.

After law explained, he was still sleepy.... So you let him be

Walking out to the halls, it was darn cold but you got used to it.

Checking on your clock, it was 5 in the morning..... No wonder no one is awake

A little bit later...

Law woke up, it was 6. He walked in to the gallery with you casually drinking tea.

He sat down beside you and started cuddling your side out of nowhere which you lightly blushed against your expressionless mood.

"c-captain.... What the hell are you doing?" you blushed as he buried his face on your neck

"why did you left me there?" he mumbled as you TRIED to calm your fragile heart beating too fast until you felt him place a hand on top of your heart felt your heart beat and chuckled

And when he heard light chattering he immediately pulled away as you sighed in relief

"good morning!" ikkaku immediately said as you just nodded and sipped tea as if nothing happened.

"(y/n)-San, why didn't you killed him last night?" yup. You knew this was coming.

"I just find killing...... A bit to rude to someone who deserves second chances.... Right....?" you basically talked to yourself.

"I don't really know, i-I just find it injustice to kill someone...." you said quickly but enough to hear.

"what do you mean?! He literally strangled you and threw you against a wall!"

"that ain't..... Bad?" you kinda questioned if that hurts since you can't feel physical pain

"that hurts like shit you know?"

"eh, I have lost the will to feel physical pain a long time ago" they just lost all color by what you meant.

A few months later (valentines day)

As you walk through the forest of a current island you just arrived with your captain, as you guys walk back from the village, he starts off a small er....... 'conversation'

"so (y/n)-ya" he starts off as you hum keeping your eyes on the trail

"if.... Someone.... Wanted to give a girl some flowers for valentines, what kind of flowers would they give?" he asked as you just looked at him, dead in the eyes just to say "what?"

"I mean..... Let's say, someone wants to give you flowers, what flowers or maybe gifts would you like them to give you?" he asked which made you cringe

"I don't..... Know...? I don't really celebrate holidays" you said, and as soon as you said that.... He seemed to um... Light up, you know he doesn't celebrate them too.

"same but.... Just a small 'what if'..."

"well.... Any flower would be good to me, as long as the intention is purely professional....." you said walking a bit faster...

He just looked down again... Now, because of your past, your scared to make people upset.... But.... Not that you cared these days now anyway

Now that you remember it, you two grew closer just a tad bit, you knew a LOT about him while he knew a enough of yours, he knew you were adopted 5 times and the last is lady toriel, he knew you had wings but never saw it, and he knows you like huge heights but not the heights that being lifted up.....

It was somewhat ironic you knew a lot about him and him being just enough not to judge you.

As nighttime falls on the sub, they decided it was a 'good' idea to start a party... Which was a baaaad idea, the last time they threw a party, they had themselves shitty hangovers and groaned the whooole day. So you just stayed in your room...

As you were reading your book, your back was aching and itchy....

As you stretched making the chair lean back a little, a yawn escapes your lips....

'when was the last time I flew?' you asked yourself closing your eyes leaning back against the chair

There was a soft knock on the door as you opened yiur eyes and it glowed gold for a moment before flashing (e/c) a small sigh escape your lips as you sat up and went over the door grabbing your mask and putting it on while walking over to the door.

And as you open the door, you saw your captain blushing lightly

"(y/n)-ya.... You're clothes" he pointed out as you looked at your clothes, you wore a sky blue open jacket on top of a short tank top with short black denim shorts, not to mention, the other end of the jacket's neckline was falling off your shoulder completely showing your shoulder

"what?" you asked him moving your mask to the side and letting him in

You walk back to the desk and sat down as you hear the door close and lock.

"(y/n)-ya..." he called as he walks over to you and places a beautiful carnation and roses bouquet gently on your lap as you were surprised and looked at him only for him to look away and blush deeply

"c-captain...." you mumbled before holding the bouquet up and placing it on the desk and standing up right beside him

"what's the flower for?" you asked him taking your mask off as he turned to you before sighing deeply.

"just call me law when it's just the two of us." he smiled as you nodded and turning your back towards him as you placed the mask on its respective place on the desk...

Just as you did that, he wrapped his arms around you and buried his face on the nape of your neck which was uncovered

"(y/n)....."
