Young In Love - LawLu AU

Chapter 81

~

Luffy groaned turning in his bed, on the colder side of his pillow, he couldn't sleep. It was nighttime, Godfather was keeping a keen eye on his owner with the way the young man was tossing about, unable to rest in one position for more than ten minutes. Luffy had half the mind to call Law but he didn't want to disturb the older in case he was sleeping. The two were in their own houses for the night because Sabo wanted Luffy home so he wouldn't be alone with Ace staying the night out.

Luffy waited for Law's Big Sad to pass to tell the older's friends to set their plan in motion. Law had talked to his friends and they said they could brainstorm his options and for that they would be coming to Goa. The three Hearts would be arriving in the middle of the night so Luffy wasn't sure if Law was sleeping or not. Luffy was huffing and whining when his phone rang. It was Law.

"What's up?" Luffy answered at the first ring, sitting up.

"You're the one who sent me a missed call, you tell me what's up." Law said.

"I did? No, I didn't." The younger tilted his head to the side, wondering when he had dialed Law's number.

"Then how did I get a missed call? If it's a butt dial, there's nothing to be ashamed of, just saying."

"But I really didn't, my phone was on the nightstand... wait a minute." Luffy narrowed his eyes at his service pup. "Godfather's grinning looking at me, he did it."

"Don't be ridiculous, how can a dog use a phone?" Law sighed, the idea too unreal.

"I taught him, for emergencies." The younger said back, not wasting a second.

"Ok that makes sense, since it's you. I don't want to use too much of my brain." The older shook his head, rubbing at his temples. "So, why did your pup feel the need to call me? What emergency are you facing?"

"Nothing really, I can't sleep."

"That was going to be my second question, why the hell are you up? It's past midnight."

"I dunno, I'm having this weird feeling in my tummy and my chest, and my brain won't shut up."

Law could hear the pout from the other end and smiled in the mic. "Now you know how I feel all the time, about the brain part. And you didn't consume anything wrong did you?"

"No!" Luffy quickly defended himself. "I just... I don't know, it feels like something's about to happen, and I can't get the right position to sleep."

"I'll come over and help you then."

"Really?" Luffy's face lit up and at the young man's sudden increase in energy, Godfather's ears also perked up.

"Yes, really."

"But your friends are coming soon, you have to go to the airport."

"Their flight is running late, something about bad weather at the Red Line." Law mentioned and left his couch to begin getting ready to leave. "I'm bringing you snacks, who else is awake at the house?"

"Ace is out, Sabo's awake I think."

"Ok, be there in a twenty minutes." Law ended the call and made sure he had his wallet with him before he left for the Sim's Café first on his car and then to Luffy's house.

Luffy was waiting for Law at the door and quickly ushered him in the moment the older arrived. The younger looked as anxious as Law had heard him be on the phone or maybe it was just his ADHD zoomies, Law really couldn't tell at that hour.

"Good job calling me." Law pet the dog and gave him a few treats for a job well done.

"Luffy said you were supposed be at the airport." Sabo pointed when he heard Law in the living room and came out of his own room to inquire.
