With a groan, you woke up, sitting up from the bed...bed?

Your eyes shot open as you shot up, scrambling to find Ace.

Tears slipped down your cheeks, "Ace? ACE? ACE!" You yelled, panicking as your breathing began to go haywire.

A man rushed in, not Ace.

"Y/n-ya. I need you to calm down." He said, and reached out slowly.

You had a sea prism on your leg, your eyes locked with Law's.

"Where's Ace.."

He stood silent, "Firefist-ya is not here." He said, and looked to the side.

"Is he...dead?" You asked, and grabbed his hand, needily looking up at him.

He pulled back.

"No. He's dead-ya." He murmured, and looked to the side, rubbing the back of his head.

You let go of his hand, and layed down, looking up at the ceiling.

"I- I'm sorry-ya." He said, "I know how it feels to loose someone important to you-ya.'

"Yeah..it's fine." You said, giving him a smile. "It took me years to get over Roger, but his son? I was asked to protect him."

"And you did-ya, as much as you could." He usually wasn't the type to be sentimental or sweet, but he genuinely felt what you felt. How long it took for him to get over lammy, and now the years it took to get over Rosi.

You looked over at him "can..I have a hug?"

"Of course."

His arms tightly wrapped around you, not letting go.

You broke into a fit of tears, crying harder than you've ever cried before.

"I just wanted him to live his life.." you sobbed, and clawed at Law's back.

He only nodded, and continued to hug you, gripping tightly.

Your gentle sobs made something spark inside of him, "would you like me to get bepo?"

"Who..who's bepo?"

"A talking polar bear." He said softly, and smiled. Only a little bit.

"No, I'm fine, thank you though. I think I'd prefer to be alone."

He walked out of the room, and shut the door, gripping his chest as his back pressed against the door. Tears threatening to spill.

He couldn't help it, the pure emotion in your eyes, the care you had for others, but none for yourself.

You simply sat in the bed, looking up at the roof as you tried your best to remember what happened, what you'd shown...however long ago that was.

Your eyebrows furrowed, and you gently pulled off the blanket, seeing the bandages that littered the...crisp skin.

"Im so ugly.." you whispered to yourself, and sat up, gritting your teeth as you studied the bandages.

You cried out in pain, but not from anything physical. The pain of loosing Ace. He made you so happy in the past. He was basically your son.

Law came rushing back in, thinking you were injured, and sighed in relief when he just found you crying....okay that sounded bad, he just thought not being in any physical pain is good. He felt bad that you were hurting mentally though.

"Listen, Y/n-ya, I think it would be best if you stopped crying, and got some rest, okay-ya?" He asked, and  rubbed the back of his head.

He watched as you sucked it up, and hiccuped a bit.
