Carnival (Trafalgar Law x Reader)

You look at the sunset, standing at one side of the ship. The Polar Tang is just about to dock at an island, and you can spot a Ferris Wheel in the distance. An amusement park? You think. Maybe I can go there with some of the crew later... The ship docks and after Law gives some orders, you walk off and head to the park. It's pretty close to the ship, and within 15 minutes, you're standing at the entrance. You walk up to the ticket booth, and the person manning it greets you.

"Hi!" you say. "How much to enter?"

"500 berries."

Just as you're about to hand them the money, you see a tattooed hand push yours aside and give the person a thousand berries. You look to your left to see your captain, Law. The person thanks him and Law steers you towards the park. You look at him, smiling slightly. "Law. When did you get here?"

"I followed you off of the ship. You shouldn't be going off on your own, Y/N-ya."

You laugh, punching him playfully in the arm. He doesn't react. "I can take care of myself, you know."

He doesn't say anything. You point at a ring tossing stand. "Let's go over there first." You start off in that direction without waiting for him to respond. At the stand, the operator tells you the rules and you pick up the rings and start tossing. You make all the throws, and the operator scowls before handing you a prize. You cheer, grinning and looking at Law. He has an amused expression on his face, and he raises a brow at your oversized stuffed animal. "Are you really going to carry that around this park?"

You frown. "So what if I am?"

He shrugs and turns around, starting for another game. But before he turns, you could have sworn you'd seen him smile.

****************************************

You and Law have walked all over the park, doing all the games and rides they have. Now, it's night, and there are lights hung all around. The Ferris Wheel had donned a new look, glimmering in the evening dark with a spectrum of colors. The wheel is the only thing you hadn't been on, and the two of you now walk that way. Despite being pretty uptight when you got to the park, Law had loosened up since then, and you've seen him smile many more times. Maybe he's even enjoying himself, you think. Not long after, the two of you get on the Ferris Wheel, and the ride takes you up into the air. You look out the window, the lights looking like faraway stars as the ride climaxes and the park spreads out below, so far down. "It's a pretty view, isn't it?" You hear Law's deep voice from beside you, and you look to see that he's joined you on your seat.

"Its just so amazing. The world we walk in on the ground that seems so big becomes so tiny once you get high enough in the air."

He nods, and studies you with an unreadable gaze. You meet his eyes, and for a moment you share an electrifying gaze. All too soon, you look away, a slight blush rising. What was that..? You sneak a glance at Law, and to your utter surprise his cheeks were dusted a light pink. You have always felt some way for him, but you know it isn't possible for him to return your feelings. He's your captain, after all. It's unheard of, and yet... Your heart can't help but beat a little faster when he's around, your breath can't help but come a little faster whenever he looks at you. But for him to possibly feel the same? Impossible, you think.

*******************************************

Later, you and Law walk back to the ship in silence. The rest of the Ferris Wheel ride had gone the same, and you were now pretty tired and ready to flop onto your bed and reminisce about your day with Law. On the ship, you make a beeline to your quarters and lay down. But you can't seem to get your mind to rest, your thoughts dashing about your mind, only on one person: Trafalgar Law. Suddenly you get an idea, a reckless one, but once it enters the flurry of thoughts you can't dismiss it. Without sparing another second to doubt yourself, you walk decisively to the captain's quarters. You knock lightly on the door. Faintly, from the other side, you hear Law say, "Come in." You push the door open and step inside. He looks up. His hair is mussed, and his eyes have a tired look to them. Before him, on his desk, a book is wide open, likely something medicine related. You flush slightly. Maybe I shouldn't have come, you think.

"Y/N-ya," he says. "What do you need?"

You swallow. "Well..." You walk a little closer until you're standing before his desk. His eyes meet yours and as always, your breath becomes shallow.

"Law, I..." You break his gaze, unable to look at him, instead averting your eyes to the mahogany wood of the desk.

"I have feelings for you. I... I love you." You say the words as fast as possible, those words that have danced in the back of your mind for so long now. He doesn't say anything, and the silence is too much for you to bear. "I know you could never return my feelings, after all, you're the captain, but-"

All of a sudden Law is no longer sitting, and you turn around to see him standing before you. "...Y/N-ya. I feel the same way."

Your eyes widen, and you blink at him, dumbfounded. "...What?"

He puts a hand on your waist, tugging you closer until your body was flush against his. He leans in until his forehead rests against yours. Your heart beats fervently, and you're surprised it didn't leap out of your chest. There's no way this is happening, you think. No way... Then Law sighs, closing his eyes, his brows furrowed. "I shouldn't be doing this..." he mutters. You feel his hand cup your cheek despite his words, and he strokes it with his thumb.

"Why?" Your voice comes out quiet, hesitant.

He's silent for a moment. "I'm the captain. It's improper. And yet..." He opens his eyes again, and as they lock with yours you can see desire in his eyes. "I just can't keep myself away from you," he breathes, and presses his lips firmly against yours. Your eyes flutter shut and you brace your hands against his chest as he kisses you passionately, like he'll never get to hold you again. All too soon, you break apart, both of your breathing ragged. Then he kisses you one more time, gently, sweetly, as if he remembers that he has all the time in the world. "I love you too, Y/N-ya," he says.
