Teacher!Shanks x Student!Reader x Ace. {One Piece AU}

Outlast At Law's House.

Reaching the apartment complex, Luffy essentially launches himself out of the car before it even stops moving, receiving a lecture from Sabo, who'd had his head out of the window yelling to Luffy about how dangerous pulling stunts like that is. Ace still parking up with you quietly in the backseat, your eyes glued to Ben Beckman's apartment window.

I'd never have guessed it wasn't his place.

"[F/n]?" Ace murmurs, your eyes shifting to his, they were staring at you through the rear-view mirror. "How good are you at these sort of games?" He asks with a gentle smile. You know what he's doing, trying to take your mind off Shanks without making anything obvious to Sabo.

"I'll get the hang of it~" You grin, getting out of the car and following a hyper Luffy to the ninth floor, the denser boy just had to run for the stairs instead of the elevator. You, Ace and Sabo following behind tiredly.

"That...boy can su-sure run." Sabo breaths in between pants, as he tries to catch up with the energetic boy. Finally reaching the floor, you all begin to make your way to Law's apartment, although hearing a pained groan from the tattooed boy gives you an impression Luffy already beat you to it. 

"Luffy-ya, get off me." Law grumbles as you, Sabo and Ace approach the two. 

"HEY, TRA-GUY! HOW'S CORAZON DOING? HIS HAIR STILL SINGED? OH! YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW! SHISHISHI! HE BURNT HIS HAIR ON HIS LIGHTER TODAY AT SCHOOL!"

Obviously, it'll still be singed, Luffy...

Instead of answering, Law just shoves Luffy off and stands to his feet, allowing you all to enter his apartment before closing the door behind him. The apartment was really nice like Ben's. Although, the pictures were different. Most of them were of Corazon and Law, though you'd guess by Law's face in each one, it was involuntary. 

"Hey, Marco said he'll be coming by after work." Ace informed Law with a grin while Sabo and Luffy went over to the Xbox.

"I'll set it up, last time you tried to put a game in a console, you cramped it into the air ducts."

"You said to put the disc in the hole!"

"Obviously, I didn't mean those!"

A bewildered Law watched the two with wide eyes, his mouth fallen agape. "If one of you break that Xbox, I'll hurt you." The tattooed student mumbles. His eyes narrowing as they drift to you. "Are you feeling better today? When I saw you yesterday, you looked...well, melancholy would be an understatement." You offered a nod, forcing a smile to your face. You could tell by the look on Law's face he didn't buy that for a minute.

"Guys! IT'S READY SHISHISHI! I wanna see [f/n] go first!" Luffy grins widely, earning a look from both Ace and Sabo.

"You wanna see her cry or something?" Ace joked, Law raising an eyebrow at the freckled boy curiously. If this guy would stop calculating, that would be great!

"Sabo says ladies go first! Shishishi~ Right, Sabo?"

"D-Don't use my words against me!"

"I don't mind going first!" You chuckle, taking a seat in the middle of the couch, Ace sitting down beside you and Sabo taking his seat the other side of you. Luffy turning off the lights before sitting cross-legged on the floor while Law sits down in an arm chair, resting his head on his palm as he watches you begin the game. The game starts off rather basic, the warnings of the game coming up first.

"So I have no weapons? I have to hide? Yes, because that always works well in horror movies." You mumble sarcastically, your character making his way through a spooky corridor, you were awaiting a jumpscare. Although, what you weren't expecting was for someone to reach over the couch and touch your shoulder, causing a sharp, loud scream to escape your lips as your body jumps up out of your seat.
