Luffy had fallen asleep on the way home, he was so exhausted from being so terrified by Doflamingo. You picked him up and held him as Law pulled into the driveway. You go to open the door to get out but he stops you.

“(Name)…” He says looking back at you, you look at him and stifle a yawn.
“We need to talk…” He starts and you watch him as he gets out his side and crawls into the back seat with you and Luffy.
“I’m..” He starts again, he looks at you then looks away with a sigh. You reach out and grab his right arm.
“What’s wrong Law…?” You ask him he grabs your hand and sighs, leaning his head back on the seat.
“You’re an idiot…” He sighs, rubbing his thumb on your hand. He looked really stressed, you noted.

You lean over and give him a slight peck on the cheek.
“I need to take him inside, so you can call me later oka-“ You started to say, but he turns and his lips meet yours. You tensed up and your eyes widened, you pulled away slowly.
“I’ll call you later…” He confirms a bit breathlessly. You get out of the car while holding Luffy, you still looked shocked about what just happened. You slowly walked to the steps, glancing back before you opened the front door, you watched Law drive off.
“Why…”You mutter to yourself as you open the front door.

“Luffy!” Sabo screams as soon as he sees you and the sleepy boy. Luffy whines a bit and opens his eyes and looks around. He sees he’s home and smile when he sees his brother.
“Sabo..!” He starts crying again so you put him down and he runs over and hugs the blond. Ace comes into the room from the stairs and stares at Luffy. He opens his mouth to say something but it just comes out gibberish, he shuts up and walks over and hugs the boy. You smile at the sight of them.

“Luffy..!?” Shanks says from the dining room surprised and walks over to the boy and looks at him.
“You okay? Where were you?” He asks, Luffy looks over at you and you smile.
“A scary guy grabbed me…but then (Name) came and took me away from him…he said he was going to kill me and Ace…but (Name) gave him money so he wouldn’t…” He says, Shanks looks over at you and motions for you to step outside. You walk onto the porch and a minute later he does to.

“Doflamingo?” He asks and you nod wordlessly. You hear him take a deep breath while you just stare at the street in front of the house.
“How much?” He asks after a few minutes of silence.
“Four….hundred thousand…”You say quietly, you hear him choke slightly.
“Four hundred thousand!?” He gasps, looking at you surprised.

“He was paid to kill both Ace and Luffy…”You say quietly, Shanks falls silent for a moment, you could feel a pressure coming from him.
“Don’t do anything stupid.” You whisper quietly, you hear him take a deep breath. You don’t need to see his face to know how pissed he was right now. You felt a little dizzy.
“You’re going to make me faint if you don’t stop…” You gasp, falling over. He catches you and immediately the pressure disperses.
“Sorry…”He says while holding you upright. You were to close for comfort, after what happened with Law it made you more uncomfortable than usual. But you were too tired to push away.

You close your eyes and take deep breaths, trying to steady yourself. The pressure and tension you felt while dealing with Doflamingo was gone, and now you were left exhausted.
“I need a nap…” You confessed. You hear him chuckle lightly beside you.
“Alright let’s get you inside…” He says walking you to the front door. You almost trip while walking inside, all three boys look at you startled.

“(Name)!? Are you okay?” Luffy asks while running up to you. You give him a small smile and make your way over to the couch, plopping onto its plush surface.
“I need a nap…”You sigh, closing your eyes while turning so you laid on your back. You felt something crawl on top of you and lay on your stomach. Opening your eyes you look down at Luffy who closed his eyes and was trying to fall asleep. You moved closer to the back of the couch and then felt someone move and lay beside you, looking over you see Sabo. You hear Shanks laughing softly as someone squeezes between the back of the couch and Luffy, effectively laying on top of you. You sigh again and close your eyes.

“I guess everyone needs a nap…” You yawn softly, feeling someone sit next to your head. Looking up at Shanks who just pats the top of Luffy’s head before leaning back and closing his eyes while crossing his arms.

“Good nap.” You said softly, earning a slight chuckle.
