(Wilderbeast! Victorian! Reader X Law) Shanks' Gentle Beast

Tea Party Fixes Everything

Law drearily leaned on (Y/N) as the two both sighed in discomfort, crying like that made them feel very let down as more negative thoughts stole the opportunity to squeeze into their heads and pull down their self esteems, what were they supposed to do now? Law couldn't just shake off the fact that he cried in front of the others and (Y/N) felt nervous about knowing that she told someone the secret that her father spent so much time on to never ever tell under any circumstances.

The guilt was tearing her up inside, she was starting to think that maybe she should have lied after all, never would she have expected to be crushed under so much weight, the thoughts began to make her tremble slightly, but the small movement was still enough to attract Law's attention.

Feeling her tiny tremors, the raven immediately looked down at her face and cussed at the dribbles of tears escaping from the glassy sheen that coated her pearly orbs, he was beginning to despise those bloody things, "(Y/N), we're not mad..it's okay, I'm not mad either..I still love you no matter what..." with an encouraging smirk, Law felt a weight begin to lift off his chest as he softly enveloped her tiny frame into his warm embrace.

This made (Y/N) sniffle a little while longer before her swollen eyes let out one last tear before she snuggled deeper into his chest and calmly sighed in content, somehow the thief's presence was enough to chase off the demons that would normally torment her for hours, "I-It's just that...I feel bad...I don't like hiding from everyone..and if my dad finds out about you he-" the other silenced her with a tender kiss.

It was delicate and sweet, neither like a curious first exploration done by beginners nor the passionate interface of newlyweds, this one was cautious, careful, Law didn't know what would drive her away or set her off, so he focused the kiss all on by just keeping his lips on top of her's without any exploration met, but that was all she needed, (Y/N) smiled in the innocent gesture and wrapped her arms around his neck as a sign to keep going.

Taking notice to this sign, Law couldn't help himself but take advantage of it by prying open her lips along with his and fought to keep himself from smirking at being able to bang up to the elephant, when he once again entered her sweet tasting cavern, while he enjoyed every moment of it, (Y/N) only blushed in shame as an undignified moan escaped from her against her will, goodness she thought she must have sounded like a strumpet to his open ears.

Liking that sound immensely, the dratted hell raiser was just about thinking on taking it a step further whe she suddenly pried herself away from him with shocked eyes full mortification, 'shit what did I do?' The male thought in alarm.

"...Law...." this made the raven fearfully cringe and swallow thickly at her tense voice, the saliva he gulped almost felt like toxic sludge as it slowly went down his gullet like melting wax from a candle, "y-yes, (Y/N)?" Her terrified eyes only shined in further fright as her face became slighly pale, "this house is...kinda quiet for ten other people to be living here..don't you think?" That's when he finally noticed the complete silence that enveloped all around them in the dining room, feeling a chill go down his spine, Law swung his head around and strained his ears for the slightest sound of movement, there were none.

"Oh god, what the blazes have they done now?" With a cold sweat beginning to form, Law cautiously and ever so slowly stood up from his chair, feeling as stiff as a wooden plack, and made sure to get a good grip on (Y/N)'s hand as they both moved towards the playroom.

But when they peeked from over the corner the two were only met with an empty room and a small ripped paper stuck to an open window, Law was greatly appalled of the sight and rushed to the note with narrowed eyes before ripping it off of the window sill and began to read aloud, "'deer Law-nii and (N/N)-nii, to make you both to feel bettar, we went 2 go get you a present! Plese don't cry if you get sad again and wait 4 us, yosh by'" at the end of the note Law's hands flopped down to his sides as he sighed both in love and frustration making his eyes dilate and his raven tail flop down, they knew they weren't supposed to leave without telling him first, but he also couldn't help but feel a smirk trying to fight its way onto his lips in a battle with his disappointment, he was so happy to have such a considerate family, but would it kill them to be more responsible?

"Law, do you think we should go look for them?" Just when he was about to answer, the sound of a door blowing open caught their sensitive ears as a bunch of excited familiar voices wild with glee echoed throughout the house, "WE BROUGHT PRESENTS!!!" Stress seeping away from his worry stricken body, Law moved like a viper and make a straight line to the front door, where his foolish siblings no doubt resided, (Y/N) had no problem in keeping up with the raged male and felt a tick mark form on her temple, those kids were about to get the scolding of their lives.

But as soon as the raven swung open the door with all the frustration that consumed him, all of the vigor he once held suddenly faded away and into nothing, it was only replaced by a shocked smile, and (Y/N) was left dumbstruck at the unbelievable sight of them...and their many dishes.

Each and every one of the mischievous thieves beamed up at her in absolute triumph under all of the soot that covered them head to tails, if she didn't know any better she would have mistaken them for genuine chimney sweepers, if it wasn't for the giant sacks of antique dishes though, each and every one of them had bright white bags with some sort of assortment of dishes with a theme inside.

"(N/N), we made you really sad earlier, but Kidd said that rich people love pretty plates and tea parties!!" Zoro then proceeded to flash off the lovely set that attracted his eye at the place they so skillfully robbed, it was a tea set with tiny golden sword shaped butter knifes, tiny golden curved spears for spoons, coral green plates with golden daggers engraved on the edges along with coral green teacups with golden axes all over the rims and center, and for the teapot, the shape made it look like it was all the way from middle Asia with golden weapons of all sorts decorating it with the mask of a samurai in the center of it.

The pure beauty of the piece immediately knocked her breath away, and (Y/N) couldn't help but stupidly grin at the blushing marimo, as soon as he saw her smile he felt his lungs fill with pride from being able to cause that wonderful smile and his eyes dilated to the size of his plates, it was gorgeous, and actually real as well as sincere, usually when he saw rich women smiling, all he saw was some cherry who liked being in power and faked a smile thinking they still deserved more, but (Y/N), all he did was steal her some simple dishes and she looked as if she was given a key to the town.

Just when he was beginning to become hypnotized by the sight and lulled into a sense of calm, he was soon rudely shoved aside by a furry red tail as a mocking laugh bounced through the atmosphere, "HAH! I told ya she'd like da dishez, rich folk lov' da cat-lap crap!" Kidd was currently flashing his white fangs to Apoo in victory over his annoying brother, with the same vicious smile of high confidence the redhead turned to face the tiny girl he was now standing before but paused for a moment, the smile was then wiped off of his face and was replaced by a light blush while he whipped his head to the side and glared into the wall.

"U-Uh..well I uh, got dis..for ya" (Y/N) raised a brow at his sudden shyness and brushed a (H/L) bang aside as she looked down into the sack presented to her, to her utter suprise it was a very elegant piece that she recognized from a history book on ancient archeological finds in Japan, her eyes dilated and her pointed ears perked in the elevated feeling she got at the sight.

All the knifes and spoons were replaced by black chopsticks, the plates were black and square shaped with red roses painted onto the top left and bottom right corners, and the teacups were blood red with black roses painted on the edges, as for the teapot, it was completely black except for the handle that had red vines with thorns painted on with one single red rose in the center.

Not being able to contain her excitement, (Y/N) widely grinned before jumping onto the redhead and smothering his cheek with a sloppy kiss of appreciation before laughing in an uncontrollable happiness, "Kidd! This is absolutely amazing! You're such a sweetheart!" Beginning to choke him with an overbearing hug, the mechanic hesitated for a moment with a conquering blush all over the entirety of his face before finally blinking out of it and shoving her off with a pissed frown, glowering, "d-don't yah do that!" Then he rudely shoved his sack into Law's empty arms and stormed off into the dining room in a huff.
