The Surgeon of Death's Love

Law

Finally, Law zipped up his medical bag sighing. He didn't really know what to do next. Luffy was hurt, It was 12:26 at night, and if he went home he could get hurt again. He didn't really like the idea of him staying here either. It didn't help that the question Luffy asked was still nagging his mind, 'Why did I help him? What the hell am I doing?! I don't know him, I don't owe him anything, and most certainly didn't do it out of pity so what?' Law looked down a Luffy with a critical eye who was smiling like an idiot looking at Law's handy work.

"Wow, Tora-o! Thanks!" Luffy smiled almost brighter than the sun making Law want to die. Luffy started to mess with the bandages on his arm and the patch on his face.

"Stop touching it, dumbass. You're going to mess them up!" Law scowled at him. Law sighed walking over to the sink to clean out the cloth so he could clean the blood from the floor. "Do you have anyone to call to come to get you?" As Law turned around Luffy got up to quickly almost falling over. Law grabbed his unwounded arm to steady him.

"Thanks, I can walk home." Luffy tried to pull his arm from Law's grasp but Law held strong.

"No. You can barely stand without falling over Straw-Hat-ya. Call someone before I do it for you." He growled pushing him back to set down in the chair.

Luffy pouted, "You can't tell me what to do." Luffy puffed out his bottom lip.

'What is he, a little kid?! He's in University yet acts like this.' Law thought closing his eye and pinching the bridge of his nose. 'It's kind of cute though.' Law's mind couldn't help but wonder as he cleaned the blood from the floor.

"What are you, 12?" Law scoffed striking a nerve throwing the cloth in the sink.

"I am not! I'm 20 asshole!" Luffy frowned.

Law couldn't help but let the look of genuine surprise come over him. 'He's 20 and acts and looked like this?! Not only that I didn't know he could cures! It's adorable and hard to take him seriously it was laughable. Law couldn't contain the giggles as he looked at Luffy's 'angry' face. He looked like a little kid pretending to pout to get their way. 

Luffys face brightened immediately after realizing Law was laughing, "Shishishi! You should laugh more Tora-o! It's cute and makes you less scary." Luffy smiled so big his eyes closed.

Law could feel his neck and ears become hot. He'd never really be complimented by someone other than his friends and family but it was a bit rare unless you were Cora. Law looked away from Luffy as he pulled his gloves off catching Luffy's attention.

"Whoa! Cool!" Luffy grabbed one of Law's hands looking at the black tattoo's on his hand. Law was taken aback by the gentleness as Luffy ran his fingers over the letters and symbols on his fingers and arm. "Do you have any others?" Luffy asked with such fascination in his eyes.

"Yeah," Law said before he could think about it.

Luffy came closer to Law, too close, "Can I see them?!" His smile and the look in his eyes were genuine with nothing but curiosity.

Law's heart skipped a beat surprised by Luffy's closeness, "No." He said ruffly pushing Luffy back by the face. When he did this Law realized just how small Luffy's face was to his hand. He studied it for a moment realizing he was staring and moving away from him throwing the gloves away. 

"Your no fun Tora-o." Luffy sighed.

Letting all the air out of his lungs he tried to soothe the headache and tiredness that started to wash over him. "Look. Do you have someone to call or not? I have an early shift tomorrow and would like to sleep as much as possible." Law groaned rubbing his temples.
