Y/n's POV

As the night slowly took over the day, I wondered if Morgan would leave. I was worried. Not only for my sake but also for the two REAL heart pirates in my house.

He can not find out about the truth. Who knows what he would do... right? But as I look out the peephole once again, I see Morgan shivering in the cold of the evening as the sunset

Damn it

I can't believe he won't leave...

He was definitely more stubborn this time around. More than he has ever been in our entire relationship together. Did he actually want me back? Am I an idiot for not wanting him back?

Thoughts of our past lingered in my thoughts.

The days together after classes back in high school, holding hands, sneaking out of class to our secret place. It was us against the world.

'It wasn't all bad.' I thought to myself. 'Maybe I could tak-' I shook off the thoughts off my head.

NO.

I have dignity. And my own morality. No way am I going to sink so low as to take him back after what he's done to me.

Over 5 years together, only for him to throw me aside like a wet napkin? It's unbelievable.

I stormed away back to the living room to lay face-first on the couch.

'This is SUCH a pain in the butt.'

Law's POV

When I finished my small research about some of the most interdimensional and time travel stuff I could find that was relevant...

I headed to the living room only to see a slumped Y/n on the couch, looking stressed with her brows together.

I know she isn't happy with that idiot outside the house just taunting her to let him in.

But if he tries to shove his way in, he'd have to go through me first. I already have Bepo to worry about but Y/n too... I'm not letting him get a chance to see my most valuable crewmate and potentially hurt Y/n.

It might have been the protective captain in me, but I felt the urge to really show the guy not to mess with Y/n. I just needed to not be too obvious.

I walked to the front door and peeked at the tiny peephole to see if that idiot was still even outside. When I saw him there looking so damn prepared, knowing he was just trapping us in to finally be let into Y/n's house. It irked me.

In what felt like a long time, I cast a room. Large enough to engulf the house and a large majority of the backyard. A smirk landed on my mouth as I said "Shambles"

The man was half asleep, so he wouldn't notice his belongings disappearing right before his eyes. Oh, I so wanted to cut him up and see his screams from thinking he was dead, but I had to play with this world's rules. And I didn't want to inconvenience Y/n

I had his bags in my one hand and walked back to Y/n. "Y/n here." I threw his stuff on the floor in front of her.

"Wha- How? Huh?" She looked genuinely confused. It was kinda adorable. 'Adorable? What the hell am I thinking'

"I just used my devil fruit," I shrugged. Y/n's eyes grew wide. "DID HE SEE YOU DO IT?"

"Of course not. He's too stupid to be perceptive anyway. Y/n. Don't worry so much." Y/n eyed me quizzically as if she didn't believe me, but then her gaze drifted to the Idiot's bags on the floor.

"Why'd you get this anyway?" She asked. "Well, it would make it easier to find out why he's here in the first place," I said in a deadpan

Y/n had a look of slight shock. "Mr. Trafalgar Law. Are you suggesting snooping at Morgan's stuff? Wait... isn't that illegal?" She was bouncing off topic blabbing about how she could go to jail for taking Morgan's stuff.

"Look, Y/n, if anyone's gonna get in trouble, it's that Idiot-ya outside your house. Either by me or the legal system in this world." I visibly saw Y/n's tense shoulders relax as she grabbed Morgan's bags and set them on the couch.

"Fine, we'll look through it. ONLY to get an idea why he'd show up here in the first place and... and that's it!" She said as she had her hands on one of the bag's zippers.

Y/n's POV

I slowly unzip the bag, only to be started by a phone ringing "Laaww what do we doo! He knows! He HAS to know!" Law grabbed Morgan's phone and answered it, putting it on speaker so I could hear it too.

"H-hello? Morgan?" A woman's voice said, "Look, I know you want to give me the silent treatment and all, but... This is YOUR child! I know it is! We've been together for a year! You promised me that you would marry me instead of your high school sweetheart if I stayed by your side. So please, baby. Come home, and let's talk about this." And then she ends the phone call.

I stared at the phone in udder shock. 'They've been together for a year? B-but that means our relationship overlaps,' my eyes brim with the threat of tears falling

Law's eyes widen at the sight, but I'm too focused on the phone to care. I crouch down, holding myself in the fetal position to have some sense of comfort as Law hugs me.

"Y/n..." he softly says. Through all my time watching Law and even reading about him in the manga, I would have never imagined him talking in such a sweet and comforting tone in my life.

I let myself go as I hug and cry on Law's chest. "H-he got another woman pregnant a-and he promised to be with her w-hen we were s-till together." I sobbed

I heard Law gritting his teeth as he placed me down on the couch again and rubbed small circles on my back to calm me down. When my tears subsided, he calmly got up and, in strong long strides, walked to the front door and swung it open.

"OI! BAKA-YA! GET UP AND GET IN HERE! You have some serious things to explain." Law had a strong voice at first. Not quite a yell, but it started Morgan for sure. I got up to take a peak at the front door and see what was going on and saw Law with his arms crossed, waiting for a shaking Morgan to get into the house.

He was frantically looking around for his things but. Well, we already had it inside in the living room.

Law rolled his eyes. "Just get in already." He said in a deep, dark tone. Morgan scrambled in almost even tripping on his own foot like a buffoon.

With Law, he looks so... pathetic. But as soon as he saw me, he went back to his grovelling self. "Y/n! So, we're getting back together? You got your little butler here to let me in?" I scrunch my brows.

"No. We aren't. and Law isn't my butler he's my... erm... my-"

"Her fiancé" Law retorted, cutting me off.

My eyes grew wide when Morgan looked at Law, I mouthed a 'What the fuck?" To Law as he just smirks in satisfaction seeing Morgan seething.

I guess that was his original plan. To piss Morgan off. "Then why bring me in here?" Morgan crossed his arms together. I sat back down on the couch as Law sat next to me, putting a hand on my shoulder to usher me to continue.

"I know about the baby Morgan. And about exactly how long you've originally been cheating."
