One Piece One Shots (Requests: Closed)

Cold Vs. Warm (Law, AU)

  "We should break-up (Y/n)-ya," Law shatters the mood in the room they were currently sharing.
  She looks over him, "Why? Did I do something wrong?"
  He stays silent as she feels tears well up in her eyes, "I did... didn't I? I finally got on your nerves... what did I do? I'm-"
  "No," he mumbles, "I'm just going out of state for college and I'm not planing on coming back."
  "Then I could go with you," she gets of the floor and walks towards him.
  "No," he closes his eyes, "You need to stay here to take care of your mother."
  She looks at him like he's a whole new person, "Why? She has-"
  "Drop it. There's nothing we can do, life's just like that," he swallows, "Let's just be friends."
  She watches him as he walks out the door. She goes to the bed and crawls under the covers. No matter how much it broke her, she'd never tell him; no matter how much it killed her, she'd never show him what he did to her.
  She takes a deep breath and flips on her side. I know I did something. She tries to think about what she's done the past few weeks, she couldn't think of anything. He came home late one night, but she didn't ask him where he was. Why don't you just tell me what I did to let you down?
  She wipes away a tear before closing her eyes to fall asleep. Maybe I'm just not good enough? She shakes her head and climbs out of bed; not even getting dressed, she leaves the house. I'm sorry.

  He walks around the streets covered in snow. No matter how desperately he wanted to tell her why, to answer her question, he couldn't without hurting her more than he did with breaking up. It's better this way.
  He feels the cold icy air penetrate his lungs. She didn't even question me. She trusts me that much... that she would've thought that this breakup was her fault. That she thinks this is her fault.
  He exhales. Why am I still breathing warm air if my heart is cold? 'Just be friends', huh? We can't even be that, I'm sorry (Y/n)-ya.
  "Trafalgar!" he sighs and turns around, "You... you were my first love. You... you are the only thing I've known, and now you're going to be selfish and take that away?!"
  He stares at her, "Aren't you freezing?"
  "That doesn't matter at this point!" she wipes the tears falling down her face, she told herself she wouldn't cry, but that never works out as planned, "I'm asking you a question! Why?"
  He stays silent and turns away from her, "Don't run away from me. I'm out here vulnerable in the snow!"
  "I know! God (Y/n)-ya, I'm just trying to find how to phrase that I cheated on you without hurting you! But that doesn't matter, does it? Fine! I broke up with you because I cheated!" he lashes out and after the information had time to sink in, she falls to the ground.
  He sees this out of the corner of his eye and goes to pick her up, "It's really cold out here, let's get you insi-"
  "I don't care about that. Law, I love you. I can tell you feel bad about it. I don't care that you cheated! I don't care that you broke up with me because you felt bad! All I care about is that you hurt me. Now I can't even care about that," she stands up and smiles at him, "because you hurt me believing that you were saving me from pain."
  He takes his coat off and places it over her body, "Honestly, why did you run outside without any shoes?"
  "Because I'm only warm when I'm with you," she fidgets her feet in the snow, "this is nothing compared to what I felt a while ago."
  He goes in front of her and bends down, "Get on."
  She looks at him skeptically, "But every time I want one, you nev-"
  "It's better being seen like this with you, than you getting your feet amputated because of frostbite. Get on," he sighs and feels her arms wrap around his neck.
  "Okay. You could've asked nicely," she pouts as he stands up, "Law?"
  "Hmm?" he retraces their steps going back to her house.
  "Can we pick up from where we left off? Can we be dating again?" she snuggles into the crook of his neck.
  "From what I can tell, we never truly broke up," he sighs, "I love you, (Y/n)-ya."
  "Hey Law," she wraps her arms tighter around him.
  "What is it, (Y/n)-ya?" he slightly smiles, already knowing what question she was going to ask.

  "Don't you feel warmer already?"
