Song for Someone (Law X Luffy)

In Sickness...

Points to the people who thought he had an food poisoning. You guys were close. As for an allergy, it was supposed to be that, but Luffy eats anything, so it was EXTREMELY hard to find something he's allergic to.

It was quiet between the group of friends at the hospital. They were waiting for the nurse or doctor to tell them what exactly happened to Luffy. Some looked worried while some of them had a stoic expression, but was seriously anguish in the inside. Law was staring at the door that lead to the hospital's rooms, waiting for someone to come out. He couldn't count how many times he felt his heart drop with anxiety when he saw the door open, only to have patients, nurses, and doctors exit out that had nothing to do with Luffy.

At first Law thought that Luffy probably got food poisoning, but that wasn't the case when he remembered his symptoms. Last time he checked, you didn't get a rash from simple food poisoning. And he knew that people didn't exactly faint either after just vomiting once. So, what exactly was wrong with Luffy?

The grey eyed man turned away from his thoughts when he saw a pinkette walking toward the patient area.

"Um, who's here for Luffy D. Monkey(1)?" A young girl in a nurse's scrub asked.

When the whole group huddled in front of the nurse, she nearly jumped from surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"Is he okay?"

"Can we see him?"

"Um, well," The brunette started out timidly when everyone kept asking her questions, "Luffy has pesticide poisoning."

"...HOW?!" Everyone shouted at her, almost making the timid girl drop her clipboard that was clinched against her chest.

"Well, it was something he last ate. It seems that the food item had high doses of pesticide and wasn't cleaned properly."

Law's eyes widened, his mind tracing back to those cookies he let Luffy have. The younger got the poisoning from it. It was his fault!

"But is he okay?!" Ace asked, he just wanted to know.

"He is. It's a good thing we caught it in time. Pesticide poisoning can lead to serious nerve and brain damage, sometimes even death."

Law clenched his teeth tightly hearing that.

"Can we see him?" Nami inquired.

"Yes you can, but he's unconscious right now." She responded. "I'll show you to his room."

The group followed the young woman, Law being the one that was behind. He slightly looked down to the floor as he kept blaming himself for his boyfriend's condition.

Finally, the clump made it to the room. The nurse opened the door, letting the visitors in. When Law walked to the doorway, he stopped at the threshold. Despite seeing the crowd of people around the bed, he saw a snippet of the face with the scar under the left eye. He lifted his leg to walk in, but couldn't. He had remembered that he was the reason why Luffy was there. The tanned man stayed still before backing away. Luffy didn't deserve to be with him...

He never walked in, he just walked off with his head down.

Law was sitting on a bar stool in Shakky's Rip-Off bar with a cup of scotch. It's been about two hours since he left the hospital. He was staring down at his drink, slightly stirring the liquid with the ice in it.

"There you are."

Law looked up to the familiar tattooed faced man.

"Why are you here?" Law croaked, gazing back down to his drink.
