Buzzing with excitement, much like when the blond returned from Dressrosa, her smile grew wider as the familiar ship came closer.
Eventually, the large vessel was floating right beside the submarine, crew flooding out on deck, many crying at the realization (Name) was alive.
Sabo leaped from the bow, landing a few feet from the (h/c). He stared her down a minute, taking in how gorgeous she looked in the Orange jumpsuit, her (h/c) hair a beautiful, flowing mess about her head.
Crystal tears dripped happily from her eyes, and the blond found his legs moving on instinct.
Speeding over, he gripped at her shaking body, tugging her into a strong embrace that made her sob.
Gripping at his clothes, she bawled into his chest, breathing his name repeatedly as the full force of her emotions came crashing out. Until now, she hadn't noticed exactly how much she missed him.
"You're not dead."
He whispered weakly, voice cracking. She nodded, releasing a shaky breath against his chest.
"Law-San...He saved me."
He stood there a while, hugging her tightly. Before pulling back, and smiling at her softly. Moving over to the captain, he stared into his steel eyes for a moment, before bowing.
"Arigatou. You have no idea what you have done for us... for me. You've saved the life of a very important woman in...my life, and I couldn't be any more grateful then I am now."
Law watched as the male bowed before him, frowning slightly.
As a doctor, he noticed the little things.
For instance:
-The way his breathing escalated when being close to her.
- When his pupils dilated as he gazed at her.
- His body responding magnificently to hers as she hugged him.
A fool could see it; He liked her, no doubt. However, judging by the way (Name) had described him in the past four days, he probably either didn't know it, or chose to ignore it.
The raven didn't like it. That kiss he had shared with girl only a day ago had sparked something within him, and the thought of her leaving, with him especially, made his chest ache.
"(NAAMMEEE)-CHHAANN!"
A blur of brown and pink tackled the (h/c) to the floor, a hatted head nestling itself in (Name)'s orange-clad chest.
Giggling with happiness, both females embraced. Tears dripping down both cheeks,they stood to their feet.
"(Name)-san."
An authorative voice stated, catching the attention of all those on deck. A cloaked man stood there, stoic as his gaze drilled into the body of the (h/c) female.
Smiling, she moved over to him, and hugged him tightly. A gentle embrace that left the man patting her back awkwardly.
"Ne, Dragon-San, should we be going?"
The blond male questioned, gaze holding with Law's, before slowly drifting to his superior's. The small bout of hostility didn't go unnoticed by (Name).
"Hai. Hurry up, (Name). We've missed you."
Dragon stated, retreating back onto the ship along with Koala.
Turning awkwardly towards her friend, she smiled at him. Law knew that there was nothing he could do to prevent her departure, so, with nothing else to do, he decided to play with the male closely observing the two.
