WARNING! THIS CHAPTER INCLUDES DRUG USAGE TO SOME EXTENT AND PHYSICAL HARASSMENT (not so excessive)!! OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE IS ALSO UTILISED

Law's POV:

My eyes widened at the sight.. Luffy looked back at me with a frightened look.. He was standing in front of the sink, holding a glass of water on his right hand and two pills on his left one.. What the fuck! Uta was right!! Fuck, she really was..

"W-what are.. you doing here?" He said startled

I looked back at him with a disgusted expression "What's that..Luffy?"

Luffy immediately flinched, which caused the glass to fall on the ground and break.

"Hey-" I started

"..l-leave me alone." Luffy covered his face with his hands and kneeled to the ground

Then I remembered that day 'Leave me at peace.. I don't want to deal with a kid's trauma' , 'please.. can you stand by his side whenever he needs help?' , 'he's more flexible with you..'. I approached Luffy and grabbed him tightly causing him to stand up and look directly at me.

The pills fell off his left hand and the moment he attempted to pick them up, I smashed them with my shoe.

"Don't you dare.." I glared at him

Luffy looked scared and shocked by my actions. He started to tremble still looking at me with widen eyes.

"How many have you taken?" I broke the silence

"..." Of course no fucking answer! Luffy's eyes left mine and became one with the floor. I became furious

"Hey! I'm talking to you! Look at me!" I grabbed his face to force him look at me again. But instead of that, Luffy pushed me away.

I stumbled backwards but gained my balance to only hear "What's your fucking problem you dick, I told you to leave me alone!"

"Don't talk to me like that! You are the one who has a fucking problem! Why the fuck are you taking pills??!" I argued back

"It's none of your business! And I can talk to you however I want you asshole! You're not my boss!"

That's when my patience run out.. I crabbed him by his collar, inserted my hand in his mouth and pushed him in the sink so that he can abort the pills he had taken before. Luffy was so stubborn and he kept resisting and groaning the whole time. Tear started t run down his face but I didn't give a fuck. That happens if he doesn't take care of himself.. After a couple of minutes everything was done. Or I though so..

Luffy clenched his fists and punched my hard on my face. Gahh.. I'm not surprised that he managed to kick Kid's ass.. I was so fucking angry! I gabbed his hand and threw him aggressively on the floor (in the living room).

"I'm only trying to help you! Instead of cooperating you keep being fucking distant! And not only that but-"

"SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP!" He yelled at me.

I flinched by his sudden outburst and realised that he was crying. He was fucking crying

Those words kept replaying in my head.. I couldn't think straight.. 'Don't worry I'll look out for him' , 'he doesn't take care of himself.. he is so selfless' , 'can you stand by his side whenever he needs help' , 'Oooh so you really care about him' , 'please.. help him'. But then I realised...

"L-Listen.. Law.. I can explain-"

"It's..fine..I'm with you" I said as I hugged Luffy tightly. Luffy let out a small gasp but soon warped his hands around my back.. we stayed like this for some minutes that seemed like hours.

I took a deep breath and continued as I stared at his beautiful chocolate eyes "listen.. Luffy.. I really want to help you and I need you to trust me" I really cared about him

"W-why do you care about me that much..?" He looked away

It took me some time to think "I just..it's just that.." why? i don't know.. or maybe I know but I don't want to admit it- No that's bullshit. I need to think straight "..we.. we are friends right? and friends help each other" I somehow covered it up

"Oh.. right" his grip on my shirt tightened and he started trembling "L-Law.. I need more" we whimpered. But there's no way I'll let him take those pills again

"I'll try to help you to forget about them.. okay? You mustn't take them anymore Luffy, understood?" I spoke softly yet had a serious expression to remind him that the situation wasn't a joke or a child's play

"B-but what..how-"

"We will find a way.. I promise.." I squeezed his hands tightly in my every word

Luffy's POV

"We will find a way.. I promise.." with that I felt very strange.. it was like my stomach was full of butterflies. I got scared because I have never experienced something like that; not even with all my exes. What was that? My trembling faded away as I felt a pair of hands transmitting heat in mine. It felt so good. I felt so warm so...safe

I slowly ,then, nodded and buried my head in his chest. I think i heard Law gasping but I couldn't care less.. that's how I felt.

"Law.. I need to talk to y-you about it..." I gulped

"Okay" he replied

———

"So.. every day you literally spend the night in the bathroom? That's why whatever the time I couldn't be the first one to reach the bathroom?"

"Yeah.." I nervously chuckled "that's why" I confirmed

"Why are you taking pills?" Law asked me hesitantly

I freezed.. i didn't want to talk to him about that.. yet. "I really don't feel comfortable right now.. sorry"

"It's fine.. you don't have to tell me everything. I just want to help you thats all" after completing his sentence he gave me a warm smile and I thought that I could melt.. he had never smiled like that and this smile was so adorable

I explained Law everything- well not exactly everything.. I decided to avoid the details about Ace and stuff, but still I included the headaches, the insomnia, the stress, the eating disorders, the bullying, the depression.. and the fact that I had PTSD (post-traumatic-stress-disorder) I still do to be honest.. but it's not like then anymore

Then, he encouraged me to call Uta to make up and we actually did! Unfortunately, she had work to do; singing tours, since she is a well-known singer, so she promised me to call me every day and visit me again in a couple of months.

After my call with Uta I approached Law and gave him a huge hug, causing us both to fall on the bed with me landing on top of him. I then hugged him again tightly burying my head in his neck.

"Thank you...for everything..no one would have helped me like that" I said sniffing

Law then rubbed my back and replied "No problem.. I'm glad I helped. But you know.. this hasn't needed yet.. you have to be careful and control yourself every day because I don't know how I will help you if you get addicted again"

I nodded and lifted my head to look at him. We both stared at each other's eyes like we haven't talked for days and.. damnn that feeling again. I felt my face heating up and my heart pounding like crazy. I bet that from Law's reaction I was blushing like crazy. That idiot was laughing!! Aargh... this is so frustrating...
