'Fuckkkkkk......' 

"IM HUNGRYYYYYYYY!!!!" Luffy shouted at the top of his lungs.

That is the conclusion Luffy had come up with as to why he was feeling that way about Law. He associated Law with food because he only ever saw Law at the table, so he wanted Law to stay near him because that meant Luffy could eat. 

'See? It all makes sense now' Luffy thought to himself. 'Im surprised I could put it together, go me for being so smart.' He chuckled. 

He remembered Robin telling him about some experiment this famous scientist did. It was about training the brain to recognize associations between things, and essentially altering the brain to automatically make the association on its own. Luffy thinks that's what happened. 

Law = meat = happiness. 

Meanwhile~

Robin, Usopp and Franky were playing cards at the table while Zoro napped on the floor beside them. Robin had just won the hand, when they heard Luffy shout something really loudly. 

"He's been kind of.... off.... today, don't you think Franky?" Robin inquired

"I think Luffy-bro is just SUPERRRRR nervous about our friends being gone." Franky replied

"No, I definitely think its something else." Zoro chimed in, opening one eye. "I noticed ever since lunch, when Trafalgar sat beside him, he's been strange."

"You don't think.... could it be possible our captain has a crush on Law?" Robin asked.

Everyone was silent for a minute... then all hell broke loose.

"OH MY GOD NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!" Usopp screamed.

"Luffy-bro and Law?!?!" Franky followed.

"It makes sense if you think about it, with everything they've been through together recently. And Im sure Luffy wouldn't know what that feels like, he'd probably assume it was just because he was hungry." Robin explained with a small smirk on her face. 

(Little did she know, she hit the nail on the head. But what can you expect from Robin? Its why we love her.)

"You have a point there Robin," Zoro agreed.

They all kind of just chuckled and returned to the game of cards, dealing Zoro in, since he was now awake.

While the 4 Straw Hats had their little... conversation, Law had stood close by in the hallway listening in. 'Luffy-ya likes me? No. Doubtful. I'm only here so we can beat Kaido,' he thought to himself as he walked away. Even if Luffy did like him, it didn't matter. This was just a temporary alliance. They weren't friends or anything, just allies until Kaido is taken down. Then they would go their separate ways. 

But, for some reason, Law felt slightly warm inside. He began to think about Luffy, wondering what exactly he thought of the teen.

The teen was like the sun, while Law on the other hand was the dark side of the moon. Luffy was bright and bubbly, no problems at all. Whereas Law was dark and gloomy, he had depression and anxiety. Luffy was the first rays of the sun after a week of rain. Law was the rain. Luffy was a breath of fresh air for everyone around him. That's why he could make friends so effortlessly. Law on the other hand only had his crew. He didn't need nor want anyone else.

The more his thoughts stayed on Luffy, the warmer he felt. Law knew his heart was slowly beginning to thaw. And he didn't like it. Not one bit.

'I've got to stop thinking about Luffy-ya. Its getting me nowhere..." Law thought to himself and closed his eyes. He pulled his hat down to block the sunlight and drifted off to sleep.
