Young In Love - LawLu AU

Chapter 17

~

Law got off the phone informing his friends that he would be staying a few days extra because he was meeting Luffy.

"Ooooooo! A dateeeeee!!" Penguin, Musta and Clione all had sang and Law slapped his forehead. "Bring him back before you guys get together."

"No promises." Law had said and cancelled the call. The reception in Drum was really bad but the closer Law got to a town, the more bars he received. When he was close enough, Law checked his phone to see the address Luffy had sent him. The hotel was in the same town Law was standing at the edge of so he didn't have to walk much to get to Luffy's hotel.

Law got to the room number mentioned in the address and knocked. He knocked twice more before trying the knob. It moved. The door was open. Law let himself in and found Luffy snoring on the couch.

This idiot.

"Oi, Mugiwara-ya." Law called the younger but Luffy didn't wake up. "Mugiwara-ya wake up." This time Law resorted to violent shaking but it was still ineffective. Law sighed. "Oh no, there's so much meat, how could I possibly finish it alone."

"MEAT?!" Luffy shot up and looked around for the said meat, then his eyes landed on Law. "Wha... it's only you." He fell back asleep.

"Don't look so disappointed!!"

"Toraoo!!" Luffy sat up again when his senses kicked in, stars in his eyes. "When did you get here? How did you get here? Did you pick the lock?"

"Your dumb ass left the door unlocked." Law sighed. "And wasn't the couch uncomfortable for you to sleep on?"

"Man I was so tired." Luffy rubbed his face. "Alright let's go get food!" The teenager jumped from the couch and Law was barely able to move out of the way when Luffy started running around putting on clothes.

"Wear proper pants and shoes." Law suggested pointing to Luffy's jorts and flip flops.

"Nah I'm ok! Let's go!!" Luffy took Law's arm and dragged him behind, running through the halls.

"What the f- slow down!" Law dug his heels in the carpet and stopped both of them. "Stop running."

"Oh yeah you must be tired from your black market thing."

"Don't saying that so casually."

"Hey your coat is fluffy!!" Luffy hugged Law and ran his hands all over the coat, letting out content sighs. The people passing by them were giving them odd looks. Law was beyond embarrassed.

"Stop it." Law smacked Luffy's head to get the younger to stop but he just hugged Law tight and rested his chin on the doctor's chest, looking up with watery eyes.

"Torao that hurt, take responsibility."

"How do your brothers put up with you? Are you like this every morning?" Law sighed forcibly detaching Luffy from himself and shaking his head.

"No, only with people I like." Luffy said and ran off to the lobby.

Like?!

Law followed Luffy out of the hotel, still red in the face. The younger was leading the way confidentally but one look back, he saw that Law was following slowly so Luffy grabbed Law's arm again and kept pace.

"I can follow you just fine, you don't need to grab my arm. People are going to get the wrong idea." Law explained, trying his best to pull his arm back but Luffy only tightened his hold.

"Let them. I don't care."

I do!! Law's brain was screaming at him but his heart was not protesting at the touch. It was liking it in fact. Heart! You have betrayed me!
