" all that shit inside of me is a giant mess "
▬▬▬▬▬
IT HURT. His head, his throat, his limbs, everything.
Law slowly opened his eyes and a single ray of sunlight in the room was too much for his body and mind to handle.
With a groan, he pushed his face back into the pillow beneath him, drowning in comforting darkness.
His head was buzzing with the most unpleasant pain, as if someone was bashing his brain in with a hammer.
It had been a while since he had felt like this.After a few minutes, he dared to open his eyes again to take in his surroundings. He was in his bed, in his cabin.
Next to the bed on the floor, he saw a bucket and a bottle with water.That explained why his mouth wasn't as dry as usually after drinking.
And the towels in the bed explained why he didn't feel sweaty or disgusted by his body.
They brought back memories of the evening. Of drunk kisses, harsh words, ket, warm fingers, cold water and comforting words.
Upon looking next to him, he noticed that he was alone. Luffy wasn't there, but the towel on his side of the bed clearly showed that he had slept there.
It calmed Law a little bit. Assured him that most things between them were fine again. Even though he still wasn't sure what the thing “between them” was.
He didn't want to start thinking about that again.
All he wanted was to continue sleeping a little, but as soon as he thought back to the evening, his mind worked on its own, activating the overthinking mode just to make him feel miserable.
With a low, annoyed grunt, he buried his face in the pillow, trying to make everything around him fade, trying to suffocate the words and voices with silence.
It didn't work. As usual. He should've known better by now.
Just when he thought about getting up and washing his face to cool his head, he heard the door open and rose his head.
He expected Shachi or Bepo to walk in to check up on him or wake him because something had happened.
But when his eyes found the door, he saw Luffy walking through it, struggling to carry a large tablet with various bowls on it.
Law observed the concentration on the younger pirate's face, the way he tried to keep his balance without throwing down the amount of food he was holding.
Brows slightly furrowed, the tip of his tongue resting in the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but think it was adorable.
