Law

(A/n: Never done something like this before, please excuse the mess that is this story)

(Vamp! Law ahead;)

It was dark, incredibly dark.

The sub had been below surface for the past three hours, not helping with the overwhelming darkness enveloping the submarine.

Law didn't mind however,he liked the darkness, it was calming, cool.

His crew mates however intended on becoming a nuisance, lighting up candles and the works.

Law had cut off the lights.

He only smirked to himself as he sought comfort in the warmth of his office chair, leaning back.

His eyes closed in content, a sigh filtering through his lips as he heard only silence.

That was until he heard the faint shuffling of shoes coming from behind the door.

His nose twitched and his eyes snapped open.

"E-excuse me captain, but could you possibly turn the lights on?"

"Why can't I have a little peace in my own damn sub-"

He turned his face, causing his slitted eyes to open wide.

Y/n.

There was Y/n with her little white candle, standing in his doorway.

"P-please sir...."

Shit. He had forgotten, she was afraid of the dark. How could he had forgotten something so important? He knew how she could get about this...

"I'm sorry, Y/n."

He stood and turned her around into the hall. He held onto her shoulders firmly as he guided her shaking figure down towards the utilities room.

He wrapped an arm around her shoulders as he flipped each switch until the lights buzzed back on.

"I-im sorry to have disturbed you Law, I just-"

"No need to apologize, Y/n. I shouldn't have forgotten about your phobia, that's a bit disgraceful to me as a doctor."

He chuckled with a slight smile, white teeth glinting in the new found light.

Y/n glanced down at the floor with a soft blush tinting her cheeks. She knew that Law was a doctor, he was the surgeon of death after all, but he still didn't know half of it...the reason why...

Everyone just assumed you were just a baby about it, just because you didn't have light and the secure surroundings of sight that comes with the pleasing glow.

It wasn't that you were afraid of the dark itself, you were just afraid of what was to be found in it. Nobody could see what you could see through those e/c eyes of yours, nobody.

Demons, monsters, all of those things that parents have only told you were figures of your imagination, were real.

And they were in your room when you turned out that light.

The problem is that you can't see them....

But your only problem was that you could.

Having that false sense of security was better in your perspective than seeing what actually was going on behind that gloomy, dark curtain of fear.

Law brushed past you as you stared deep in thought at the floor.

Why had you been acting so strange lately? He'd turned out the lights before, and you would always protest, but you've never came shaken to his door.
