Day 27 - I'm Fine I Prom... (Law x Reader)

"Hey, is everything alright?" Law asked, stopping in his tracks and turning to you.

"Yeah, I'm fine," you reassured him with your soft tone. "Just a little tired that's all, Law."

"I told you to get more hours of sleep, [Y/n]-ya," Law reminded you, walking again with you following.

"I'm not going to until you let yourself get some sleep," you stated, shifting the conversation. He couldn't find out the truth.

"This is about you, not me, [Y/n]-ya," Law dismissed you calling him out. "I'm still functioning with my lack of sleep. You're not, go take a nap."

"But-"

"Doctors orders," he overruled whatever argument you were going to make. You pouted, and he found that to be adorable, but he didn't want you to be upset. He leaned down, kissing the top of your head. "Please..."

"Alright," you said as he pulled away from you. "I'm going to my room."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Finally done." You set down your pen, picking up the paper and placing it on your nightstand.

"I thought I ordered you to take a nap," Law commented as he walked into your room.

"What makes you think I didn't?" you asked, folding your arms in front of you and raising a brow.

"You don't look rested," Law pointed out how tired you were.

"Right..." you averted your eyes, biting your lip. You didn't want to go-

"Room... Shambles." Just like that, Law had put you in your bed.

"What are you doing?" You sat up, moving the top part of the blankets off of you.

"Since you're not going to put yourself to sleep I'm doing it for you," Law answered and switched off the light. "Sleep well, [Y/n]-ya."

"Wait!"

Law stopped, halfway out the door. He turned to you, slightly confused. Your voice held such urgency as if you were scared or afraid of something.

"Yes?"

"I... I... I want to cuddle," you told him. "Please."

"Alright, [Y/n]..." Law gave a small smile before closing the door and crawling into the sheets, resting next to you. He held you close, resting his forehead against yours. "Are you going to sleep now?"

"Hmm, I wanna keep looking to your eyes," you mumbled as your gaze stared into his. "They're so enchanting."

Your finger tips grazed over his face, as if you were touching it for the first time, with such gentle and care. You leaned in, placing your lips on his, like fingers playing a soft melody on the piano. He kissed back, savouring this moment with you. When you pulled back, you nuzzled yourself against his torso, laying your head over his heart, listening to the rhythm of how it moved. Your eyes became heavy, you could feel them slowly close on you, as a tear left your eye. You smiled, brushing your hand over Law's.

"I love you..." you whispered for only him to hear.

"And I love you," Law replied to you. That was the last thing you heard before the darkness overcame you.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

"[Y/n]-ya, are you alright?" Law asked a bit out of breath, having just ran to you when the battle concluded.

"I'm fine, I prom..." you never finished your sentences because you collapsed right before him. When your body laid on the ground, blood leaked out from you, creating a pool around your fresh corpse.

"[Y/n]!" Law knelt down, trying to aid you back to good health but there was nothing he could do. He frantically looked around for help, but instead he saw Doflamingo in the background, wearing a sinister smile and holding a gun that has been recently fired.

"Fufufufufufufufufufu!"

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

"No!" Law sat up in a cold sweat, and with uneven breaths. He glanced around to see he was in your chambers then took a moment to calm down. He glanced down to see you were there, completely passed out. That's right, you were still alive, right here by his side.

Law smiled, leaning down to give you a kiss on top of your head. You didn't flinch, strangely enough, you must've been real tired. He got up and left the room to check on the other crewmembers, leaving you continue your rest.

An hour passed, then two, then five, then eight, then ten. He expected you to have woken up by now. Were you that tired? Did you pull three all-nighters or something?

Something wasn't right.

Law came back to your room and turned on your light. "[Y/n]-ya, it's time to get up."

You didn't stir awake, which he found strange since normally that did wake you up.

"[Y/n]-ya?" Law strolled over to your bed side, about to shake you awake but the paper on your nightstand caught his eye. "What's this?" Law picked it up and scanned over the top.

{Dear Law}

It was addressed to him. He continued.

{By the time you're reading this, I must've went to sleep. Well, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner but I didn't want your behaviour to change by knowing. Now that I went to sleep, you must know, this was the last time I'll ever fall asleep. The truth is, my lifespan was cut short because of a devil fruit user I encountered long ago. There was no way to reverse the fruit's effects, even after killing him. I didn't care for a while but then I met you, and the Heart pirates. You made my life fulfilling, you made me enjoy the time I had left, and I am grateful I got to spend it with you. I love you. Thank you Law, for making the short life I had to be meaningful.

[Y/n]}

The words became stained, ruining the ink, but Law couldn't help his tears leaving his eyes.
