The Promise [Lawlu/Zolu]

Chapter 14 - Jealousy

----No One's Pov----

---Months later---May---

Its been months ever since the incident and luffy's forgiveness, Law and zoro promised to not touch or do anything to luffy, they'll stay best friends.

But is that what luffy really wanted? To stay just friends?? maybe it was just this weird feeling hes having.

Luffy hasn't been feeling like himself lately.

Recently for the past few weeks law and zoro have been around Tashigi and Monet, luffy didn't think anything at first but recently hes been noticing how close They get to each other, Monet and tashigi would always cling to law and zoro like a magnet, lock arms like they were a couple. there even has been rumors that they're dating.

He doesn't know how to feel about any of this, he feels happy yet upset. He gets that feeling that he should be happy for them, cheerful about it too. but he doesn't feel happy really. like he wants to separate them and get his friends back to paying attention to him, he knows its a bit greedy or possessive but luffy doesn't really know how he feels about Law being around monet and tashigi being around zoro, he felt uneasy.

It wasn't a big of a deal at first, it just started with law and zoro talking to tashigi and monet then them going to their friend group for a bit but not all the time, Tashigi and monet are not even nice to their friends they're just there for law and zoro. 

Nami, penguin and the others don't even like them!!

Then Law, monet, tashigi and zoro hang out like they are couples but friends like a double date kind of thing and they show it around the collage and that's how some of the rumors started.

It may not seem like it but its been driving Luffy crazy inside but he manages to look normal.

They hardly hang out with each other, they just text or call and that's it. luffy would just hang out with nami and the others and he would feel sad thinking that law and monet are on a date, same with zoro and tashigi. he would even walk into the swordsman class and see zoro teaching tashigi how to swing a katana. he would watch as the katana would swing up and down and left and right, luffy could swear that he sees tashigi giving him a look, she knows he likes zoro and would give a teasing smirk and a wink That would luffy's blood boil in some way. same with law except monet would walk up to luffy and whisper in his ear, "You don't deserve him or anyone" and walk away.

Luffy has been distancing himself from law and zoro even ignoring their texts and calls, he would text and call nami and the others all the time still, just not law and zoro, he feels like he'll waste their time and just be a burden.

Sometimes he would cry in his room thinking that he lost his best friends, luffy is confused about his feelings but he's happy for them yet mad if they are actually dating, he wants his friends back. he doesn't know this feeling but he hates it. it was a Bittersweet feeling for him.

-------

Law and zoro have been noticing that luffy has been distancing and  ignoring them, is luffy mad at them?? did they do something wrong? they had a lot of confusing questions in their mind. 

Zoro was just a tutor for tashigi since shes bad at swordsman class, really bad, like she would mess up and fall or just straight up not pay attention, but clearly shes interested in him and has try to hit on him instead of paying attention, its been annoying zoro a lot. hes not interested in tashigi, shes not even good at swordsman practice.

Law is also a tutor for monet, he had to help her with geology since they're in the same class and the teacher assigned him too, just like tashigi instead of paying attention she would try to seduce law and it would annoy the shit out of him.

Because of them law and zoro couldn't make time to hang out with their friends especially luffy, it would drive them crazy, they want to be with their friends instead, but they had to tutor them cause the more they try to help them the more faster it could end right? They feel uncomfortable when they would cling to them, law and zoro would try to shake them off or tell them to go away, but they didn't listen and still cling onto them.

But Law and zoro recently noticed that luffy was distancing himself from them. One day they walk up to luffy about to question why hes been ignoring them.

The whole week of collage ended and now they have the weekend off, it was a friday afternoon still a cloudy day. all the classes have ended and luffy already said bye to nami and the others and was about to walk home until he was grabbed by the wrist and was lead to the side of the collage, luffy was ready to fight until he realized it was law and zoro, "What are you guys doing?? he questioned them, "Luffy...why have you been ignoring us?" zoro asked a bit irritated that he has been distancing himself from them, luffy was silent. "did we do something to make you mad?? what is it? why have you been distancing yourself from us luffy-ya??" law questioned him a lot, he doesn't know what he and zoro did to make luffy mad.

Luffy was silent, he doesn't really know why he wanted to distance himself from law and zoro, was it because of tashigi and monet? or was it just himself? No it was something else, Maybe jealousy?

Then luffy got a little idea that might surely get his best friends back to him, a mischievous grin started to appear on his face, "hey zoro, torao do you guys wanna hang out?" he asked, they tilted their heads to the side, "how's that supposed to answer our question" law asked, "i can explain why i ignored you guys if you hang out with me" luffy just smiled at them.

"But i'll hang out with zoro tomorrow then hang out with torao the next day!!" he explained, law and zoro agree to it the they go their separate ways. law got in his car, zoro on his motorcycle and  luffy walking home, they offered to give him a ride but luffy just declined even if they insisted, he still feels like a burden to them but luffy got an idea to get them back somehow.

Luffy's little game begins.
