"nightmares" - Lulaw

CHAPTER 7 | friends & hugs

Law's POV 

•••

I usually wasn't one to play around like this, but for once it seemed we had the time. Usually, trouble followed wherever the Straw Hats went. But so far, there didn't seem to be anything too bad. Exhausted from our snow-ball fight, me and Luffy were laying on the floor. He rolled over and rested his head on my arm, turning to face me.

"Traffy." He said

"What? Do you have to acknowledge me everytime you're talking to me? We're the only ones here, you know." I was used to the constant acknowledgement, since Bepo said "Captain" everytime he said something to me. But it didn't really make it less annoying.

"I like saying your name," Luffy said. I was about to say something about how Traffy wasn't even my name, but I was interrupted when he stood up suddenly, and held out his hand for me to grab.

 "We should head back to the Sunny now, it's getting late. But... I don't remember where it is... oh, I know! Let's call Brook!" I took his hand and brushed myself off,

 "We don't need to call your musician, I remember where it is. And besides, it won't take us long to get back anyways since I can just... you know, teleport us." Luffy practically had stars in his eyes when I said this.

 "YOU CAN TELEPORT???" I was suprised he didn't already know this. The racoon had been quite excited himself, and there had been many times where he had to teleport himself as well as Luffy out of harms way. Granted, most of these times Luffy happened to be unconscious, but he should still know by now. 

"Um, yeah?" My throat felt scratchy, and I realized I'd talked a lot more today than I usually do. "I can control the area around me, so as long as I have something to replace us with, I can teleport us back to the Sunny." Luffy seemed very happy at this concept. 

"Man, I have such cool friends!" Friend. I thought. Yeah, we're friends... just... friends.. I heard Luffy gasp. 

"What?"

"YOU DIDN'T DENY BEING MY FRIEND!!!" Luffy was giggling now, and he jumped up to hug me, effectively knocking me down again, though I caught myself before we went completely down.

"Jeez," I knew I was blushing, but I returned the hug squeezing him lightly. And I suddenly felt very clingy. I held on for longer than I usually do, and all that was heard for a while was the sound of nature around us. It was a while before I realized the boy with a straw hat had fallen asleep with his legs wrapped around my waist. I sighed. Per usual, Luffy wasn't awake to witness the 'teleportation' powers that I had in my possession.

Nami's POV

•••

Law appeared suddenly on the ship, and I was about to ask where Luffy was before I realized he was safely resting in the taller boys arms.

"Well well well" I said.

"What?" Trafalgar asked, and he shot me a look that was clearly irritated.

"Nothing, it just seems our idiot captain has a thing for you."

"What?" He said again, this time with a hint of blush.

"We've never really seen our Lu act like this before. I mean, Hancock and even the mermaid princess have tried to win over our captain and it was all to no avail. He's always been touchy-feely with us, especially when one of us is hurt, or when it's been a while since he's last seen us. But never in the way he's been with you. That being said, we all approve of whatever you two have going on. But if you hurt him? There will be hell to pay." Law seemed a bit frightened at my threat, and he just nodded. 

"Erm, you don't-" Law seemed embarrassed at whatever he was about to ask. "You and him don't have anything-" I cut him off,

"oh no," I felt almost horrified by this accusation. "My heart lay with that idiot over there." I pointed at our long-nosed sharp shooter. Law made a face, but he nodded again.
