The light of the stars | Law x Reader

Close to you

Everyone was about to have lunch in the kitchen, when you walked in.

"Oh, Y/N, I was about to let you know lunch is ready. Where is Law?" Sanji asked you. You saw two plates next to each other, for you and Law.

"Oh, he is resting in Nami's bed. I was going to bring him food"

"Whaaaatt?! How is he allowed there?" Sanji asked enviously for some reason.

"It's an exception, when he gets better he can sleep in the guest room" Nami replied to Sanji. While Sanji was pestering Nami with questions about the rules of the ladies room, you took the two plates and said goodbye to the rest of the crew.

"Have a nice meal" You said smiling.

"Wait, you are not eating with us?" Luffy asked disappointed.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want to leave Law alone, but, I could join you for dinner"

"That'll be super!" Franky said making a weird pose. Unlike the few people you knew in Doflamingo's little island, everyone here was so nice to you and full of joy. You smiled at them and left the room.

Somehow you opened the door to Nami's room while holding the plates full of food.

"Here, Sanji cooked this for us" You happily said to him.

"Thanks for the food, are you going to eat here with me? You don't have to if you don't-"

"Oh, well, I just didn't want you to eat alone" You said looking away from him. "But if you want me to go, I can leave"

"No, I would like you to stay" He didn't know how he felt about you. When he met you last night, you were a nuisance to him, hindering his mission and running away from him. But he knew you were scared of the situation. Despite being mad at your actions, he understood why you ran from him. And now, sailing with the Straw hats on the Thousand Sunny, you two were starting to get closer to each other. The intimate talks, sharing your past with Corazon, unlocking your power, or just having fun with the crew watching you train. He grew to like your company.

"Are you feeling better?" You asked him while sitting on the other bed.

"Yes, I just needed to rest for a bit, you make me work too much" He said smiling at you. You looked at him sadly, being sorry for everything that had happened, and he noticed.

"Well, once you leave me with Corazon, or whichever safe place you desire, you won't have to worry about me, I won't be a burden to you anymore" You tried to avoid eye contact, looking away from him. He was silent. As much as he knew you would be a problem to him, your company gave him comfort. He didn't want to lose this feeling, he didn't want to lose you, like he lost Cora-san all those years ago.

"I won't just leave you, who will protect you when you goof up again?" He said smiling at you. You didn't want to look at him.

"I guess I could protect myself, with my power" Then an idea formed in Law's head, with your power, he could defeat Doflamingo once and for all. Then, the terror would be over, his past and Corazon's almost death would be avenged, and you wouldn't need to run anymore. You would be free, to stay with Cora-san, the Straw hats, or even with him as part of the Heart pirates.

"Y/N, with your power, you could kill Doflamingo" You stared at him, you didn't know how to feel about that. You knew how bad Doflamingo was, but you still didn't want to kill him, you could not take a life.

"I cannot do that. I cannot just kill a man"

"Sometimes it is necessary to-"

"No" You said stopping him. You did not want to kill anybody. Law stared at you in silence, seeing how uncomfortable you were getting, he felt sorry. "If you want him dead you can kill him yourself. If what that legend says is true, then I could be a danger to the world. And you want to train me to harm others?"
