Shambles To a Different World (y/n & Trafalgar D Water Law)

Chapter 25: NOT MY PROBLEM!

Y/n's POV

As time went on, there was a definite shift in Morgan and I's relationship. MUCH to Law's dislike of him, I wanted to still be a good friend and support the guy, even if he cheated on me, left me for his mistress, and basically made me fend off the paying of the bills on my lonesome.

BUT HEY! He was finally becoming a better person even if it was mostly towards his unborn child more than the actual mother...

Though I didn't think much of it. At least he didn't think to come over again. I really didn't want Bepo to be stuck in his room for too long. He isn't a pet. He's my friend, and I want my friend to be able to use the space I've been grievously paying for by working in Mr. Akainu's such tender care.

I internally sigh.

I really have some first-world problems.

I glance at Law, grumbling to himself after I finally got off the phone with Morgan.

"You know he still wants to get back together, right?" Law deadpanned

"Well... Yeah..." I said, slumping my shoulders "...But he is still technically a friend. even if he is an ex. I want to support him. Law... This is the first time he has ever taken accountability and stepped up when he'd done something wrong!" I said

Law raised a quizzical brow at me. "So you're treating him like a child? Holding his hand because he's finally acting like an adult even though you two are the same damn age?" Law crossed his arms together and his face neutral. "Is he really that much of an idiot?"

My lips thinned. "No, I'm treating him this way because he needs validation. I know it might seem wrong, but... I really don't want him to abandon his unborn child Law. He needs stability in his life, and I think this is his sign to... well... as you put it. Grow up." I looked away, embarrassed by my actions. But I knew that it was also the only way to keep Morgan at arm's length. He needed to physically be away from me and the two heart pirates I'm harboring in my house.

I heard Law sigh, not out of frustration, but in maybe slight relief? I know he needs fewer distractions, especially with him back doing more research in finding a way to go back to the One Piece universe as quickly as possible. "Your reason is justified. So I'll let it slide this once. But Y/n, you need to know how to have boundaries with him. He's still your ex." Law sounded so calm it was almost unsettling.

"I know," I replied. "I'll try, at least." Yes, I know there was a limit to my help. Honestly, I probably shouldn't be helping Morgan but. He was once like family to me. And it was my way to show gratitude. So this felt right to me.

Slowly Morgan made his intentions clear. He still wanted me close even if he was having a child with another woman. Of course, I had no prejudice against the mother or the child she was baring but... to imagine the man who betrayed me once wanting me to parent the child he conceived while we were still to be married is just... it felt...

Wrong.

Morgan called and called, as Law became more and more furious out of his protectiveness. He was the one who got Morgan to hang up half of the time because he still thought Law and I were a couple. It wasn't my place to correct him and it stopped Law from having that gloomy presence so I didn't mind him disrupting our conversations when it got out of hand.

But sometimes... just sometimes I think about the possibility of me and Law actually becoming a proper couple, how we would be if he stayed here in the modern world. Would he have become a doctor? a surgeon maybe? "Hello? earth to Miss Y/n?" Bepo was waving his paw in front of my face to get my attention. "Are you okay? you've been spacing out for quite a bit now Miss Y/n." Bepo had a worried expression, I probably looked so out of it if he had to quite literally wave a hand or to be more exact his paw in my face.

"Haha, yeah" I scratched the back of my head. "I was just thinking about... something." or to be more exact someone "Don't worry about it Bepo." I smiled that was the best I could do to reassure my friend. "ah, then sorry for disrupting your thinking miss Y/n. It was just you were making a sort of... sad face."

Sad huh.

I'm still sad about thinking about them leaving then.

"O-Oh you know... M-Morgan has been calling more often and all about his unborn child. heh.. like erm... How they found out they're having a Son! Yeah. So, I was just... thinking..." I rambled I really didn't care too much whether Morgan was having a son or not. I just needed a way to stop thinking about Bepo and Law leaving me.

No One's POV

"Tch" a voice from behind Y/n

Y/n whipped her head around to see Law with a scowl "Why does he always talk about that damn kid of his to you anyway? does he not know how infuriating his voice is?" Law stared walking closer to Y/n as Bepo started to slightly panic at his captain's loss of composure "He's a huge pain in the ass, and I still don't understand why you insist on maintaining your relationship with that douchebag." Law was now towering over Y/n as she stood there still.

"C-Capatin, I don't think-"

"NO!"

Y/n finally looked up at Law. a determined yet breaking facade "YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!" She voiced out, her hands shanking "He- he'll be the only person here for me when you two LEAVE!" Tears brimmed her eyes. The pain she had been holding back came to light "Don't you get it Law? When you and Bepo go back... I won't have anyone anymore! NO ONE! Morgan was the closest thing to my only family before... When he left me I had nothing, no one. Then, then you who showed up! you came from seemingly out of nowhere and you made me smile again, you made me feel happy again, you made me fall in love again." She looked away. "But when you leave. once you two find a way to safely go back to the One Piece world. I'd be back to square one. I-I just don't want to be alone again."

Law reached for her arm but stopped and dropped his own arm. "I thought you were smarter than this Y/n." Law's voice dropped lower. "I told you before. I'm NOT leaving here till you come back with me." Y/n whipped back facing Law with a frustrated expression. " And I told you, I had things to do here too Law, I can't just leave behind what I built for myself."

Law turned around slowly walking away. "One month. I'm gonna make you change your decision in one month, and we go back to my ship in the One Piece world." then he stopped at the doorway "And by the way. I figured out how to go back a while ago. I just. I liked our time together." soon after Law was gone Y/n was left in shock and Bepo was left frantic looking back and forth from his Captain and Y/n trying to figure out who to go to.

"H-He stayed... for me?"
