TORAOOO ♡ (Law X Luffy)

chapter 6 (day3)

Law blinks, remembering his nightmare, had he said that name out loud? He groans and runs a hand through his hair dropping his hat on the pillow "Even if I wanted to I couldn't strawhat-ya, they're long gone away" he tells the younger looking away from those black enraged eyes "Besides they took everything of me with them, there's isn't much left in this body anyway but an empty soul" he shrugs not understand why Luffy was so angry.

He watches Luffy grind his jaw as the younger squeezes his hand tighter "if that's what's left then I'll take it all" Law's eyes widen, surprised at Luffy's sudden outburst. The younger climbs up the bed and sits in front of the older guy, on top on his legs "So don't go following them, I won't allow you!" His eyes look so determined, so much life and fire in them that Law finds himself staring "you have me now!"

Law shakes his head, Luffy's making no sense, it's suddenly way too hot in this room and his headache is coming back. He takes off his shirt, throws it on the ground and drops himself back down on the bed. He feels Luffy's gaze on him but ignores him. Then the younger shifts around, placing his head on his shoulder laying on top of him "You're heavy, get off" Law grumbles.

"No! This is your punishment for saying stupid things"

He doesn't know what to make out of this situation, Luffy genuinely sounds upset and Law isn't even sure why. It's not like they're friends or anything more. They're just allies. Just that. He sighs and puts his arms over his eyes, everything with Luffy is complicated yet oddly enough he feels comfortable.

"Torao" Of course the brat couldn't stay silent for less than two minutes.

"What is it?"

"Thank you for saving me that day..." It takes a moment for his sleepy brain to understand what Luffy's talking about, "Don't mention it"

"You saved my life" Luffy says resting his head on Law's chest, his ear pressed over Law's calm beating heart.

Law let's out a breath, his arm still resting over his eyes "No need to thank me we're still enemies"

Luffy frowns, turning his head up to look at the older "No. We're friends" He firmly says, voice serious making Law remove his arm to stare at the younger.

"Allies."

Luffy smiles "friends"

Since they met the younger has being pressuring the friendship bond on Law. Regardless of how many times he has told Luffy that they're just allies, it seems the younger just hears him from one ear and takes it out the other.

"why do you want to be friends with me Mugiwara-ya?" Law finally asks, curiosity taken the best of him. No one ever wants to be friends with him, they're all about taking advantage of his power, his title and nothing else. That's how the pirate world is. Taking advantages.

"Because I like you!" Luffy says so easily, round eyes shining with so much light "you're a nice guy Torao!"

Law understands that he doesn't mean it in a romantic way or so he thinks, Luffy never makes sense to him " but I'm still gonna become the pirate king" A small smile falls on Law's lips "Sure, but I wont give you the title so easily" the older tells him, softly.

"Shisishihi I wouldn't want it any other way but... not matter what happens we'll always be friends" The serious look on the younger's face has Law frowning, why couldn't Luffy just understand the simple term of 'No' "We aren't and wont ever be friends Mugiwara-ya"

Luffy blinks his large eyes up at him, then the younger sits up, opening his arms "But I really like you Taro" he says stretching his arms wide till his finger tips touch the wood of each wall on the other sides of the room "this much! And that's a lot"

Law feels confused, his stomach is twirling with mini tornados and as always Luffy isn't making any sense "you shouldn't..." he whispers enough for Luffy to hear "only bad things happen when you're around me"

Luffy shakes his head "That's not true! Ever since I've met you only good things have happened to me" His grin gets wider as Law finds himself listening "You saved me and Jimbei on Marineford. You saved my nakama on punk hazard, now we are together to bring down Mingo and Kaido. I've been wanting to bring down an emperor."

Law stares at him drowsily, his brain finally deciding that he's had enough of Luffy's nonsense "whatever, you'll see soon..." he answers, Luffy doesn't know how badly he's cursed. He just hopes that the curse doesn't leaches onto the other captain, he's still a kid and way too young to die.

"Shishishi, I'll show you!" hearing that childish laugh puts Law's nerves at ease. Luffy's laugh sounds so magical, it has a ring of bells in it. Law likes his laugh.

Luffy watches Law closing his eyes and silence takes over the room. The sun is still out, peeking through the closed windows marking the only light in the room. He slowly lays back down on Law's chest, he could go back to the deck and see what Usopp is building but he doesn't feel like moving. Staying here, listening to the soft beating of Law's heart is making him drowsy, moving now just seems like a hassle.

Luffy traces the heart shape tattoo on Law's chest. How lucky was he to meet the older again, so soon? He thinks back to two years ago, the time he was on Law's ship; healing. Ace's death had completely shattered him, physically and mentally. Luffy closes his eyes and remembers those painful nights when he would wake up in middle of the nights, panicked just to see Law sleeping beside him on a chair. He would feel so relief. That he wasn't allone in the room, someone was with him. He remembers turning his side to face the sleeping Law and would slowly going back to sleep while counting Law's slow breathing. When he was burning with fever, he would occasionally feel Law's cold hands checking his temperature as he slept. His hands were always cold Luffy noticed, they felt good against his boiling skin. Law would put up with his tantrum and heal his wounds when they re-opened. Heck he even destroyed Law's operation lab yet the older still stayed by his side. He had been so patient. So... kind. The way Law would talk to him, calmly when Luffy would wake up from a nightmare drenched with sweat and tears. Telling him that it's going to be okay, that Ace is watching over him right now. Sometimes he'd even go as far as giving Luffy an awkward rub on his back to calm the younger down. Luffy chuckles lightly, it was such a Law thing to say.

"Form an alliance with me Mugiwara-Ya"

How could he even say no? How could he even reject someone like Law? How could he even see Law's face fall? Seeing Law sad, upset or if anyone so much as makes him frown makes Luffy want to kick the other person's ass. So, if it's Mingo making Law sad, then Luffy will do anything to bring that asshole down to his grave.

"You have me now Torao... I'll beat Mingo up for you" Luffy whispers, sleep taking over him as well.
