The heart pirates little treasure

Birthday special!

Placed anywhere in story!! Taiga's POV!!
"Taiga-chan time to wake up!!", a loud yet familiar voice calls, breaking down my door in an attempt to wake me.
"I'm u-up y-ya k-know, w-working o-one s-omething.", I reply, getting annoyed at the guy for breaking down my door.
"Oh sorry but forgot to mention but today is captains birthday, now hurry up breakfast is ready.", presumably Bepo says, making me halt in shading the outlying details of a picture of the nice straw hat wearing dude I met in sabaody with captain.
"W-Wait, is t-today r-really h-his b-birthday?", I ask, turning to face the talking bear.
"Yeah, he usually doesn't make a big deal about it but we still give him presents and wish him happy birthday.", he explains before apologizing for any inconvenience like usual and heads out. I sit there, in shock at the revelation Bepo had just said. Today is captains birthday...

Time skip to breakfast! Law's pov!

Today was the day most people celebrated, not me by any means, I just got presents from everyone as we do with everyone else in the crew. It was normal for the most part, people milling about and eating breakfast or finishing up chores for the morning before we head out to the next island.
"M-morning c-captain! W-what's f-for b-breakfast?", Taiga-ya asks, she sat next to me on her own smartly made high chair during meal times or meetings in the cafeteria.
"Morning Taiga-ya, today's breakfast seems to be bacon and omelettes.", I answer calmly, taking a sip of my warm coffee as she settles on her chair.
"H-aven't h-ad th-tha b-before.", she says curiously as a plate gets placed in front of her. She sniffs at it in confusion before shrugging and taking a bite out of the omelette, her face lights up and she stuffs it in her mouth before taking cautionary bites of the bacon and stuffing that down her throat as well, finishing her plate in less than ten minutes.
"You should really slow down hun, or you might choke.", Ikkaku-ya says with a giggle, patting Taiga-ya's back as she places a glass of milk on the table.
"I w-ill, th-thanks Ikkaku-San.", Taiga-ya says, taking the glass and drinking every drop of milk.
"Seems your speech has gotten better.", I comment, finishing my coffee as Ikkaku-ya takes her and my plate to the kitchen.
"R-really? I'm n-not s-sure.", she says, pulling out a piece of paper and some ink pens.
"What are you doing?", I ask her, curious to see how she draws so well.
"D-drawing s-omething.", she answers quickly before turning back to outline something.
"Oh really? What are you drawing?", I ask, leaning my head on a hand.
"S-urprise, n-not t-till l-later.", she replies, surprising me but also giving me an idea.
"Even more of a reason, captains orders, tell me what are you drawing.", I say coolly, crossing my arms in victory.
"U-uh, s-omething o-on t-the s-ship.", she says, still outlining a few things after taking a glance at me.
"Hmm...be specific.", I say, keeping calm at her cryptic answer.
"O-okay, s-omeone o-on t-the s-ship.", she replies, again staying cryptic as before. However she confirms my thoughts as she glances back at me once more and starts coloring only some details before heading back to her room with a slight wobble.
"I bet she's drawing me.", I comment as Ikkaku-ya chuckles at the comment.
"I bet as well.", she says, her laughs subsiding somewhat...

Timeskip! Law's pov still!
It had come the time to head out to the island, but Taiga-ya was missing. I asked Bepo-ya where she could have been, but he only answered her room. So I went in search of her so she could pick out some new pens for her to use and some paper I knew she would need since she had been drawing the people and places she's been with great detail.
"Taiga-ya! Where are you? We're heading out.", I call, popping my head in her room only to find it empty. I walk in, maybe she was on her bed or in her closet but all I see is a messy paper filled desk. One such paper stood out, it wasn't with the large collection of places she'd drawn or people she's met which was hanging on the wall in frames near her bed but it wasn't someone she should have known. It was a picture of me, well several of me in different poses from this morning but what caught my attention was the part in the middle, a detailed drawing of Cora-San and a smaller me in his lap with the words 'Happy birthday Law!' on it in neat script. The picture made me tear up as I remember my time with Cora-San but some whispering catches my ears. I stuff the picture in my pocket after neatly folding it and follow my ears to find Taiga-ya was the one whispering but it seemed like she was talking with someone.
"C-Cora-San, I d-did it, I d-drew y-you w-with Law. I h-ope y-you l-like it, I h-ope h-e l-likes it t-too.", she whispers, looking up at something, or rather someone.
"Y-you th-think? W-well I g-gotta g-go, n-need n-new s-supplies a-and I b-bet th-they're l-looking f-for m-me. S-see y-you l-later C-Cora-San.", she says before waving up at nothing and walking up towards me.
"There you are Taiga-ya, I was looking for you. Lets head out so we can get new supplies.", I say, wiping away some tears before picking her up and walking back the way I came.

Timeskip! Taiga's POV!!
We just came back from exploring the island, I had gotten some new stacks of paper and lots of new black ink pens and new packs of colored pens while the others had gotten supplies for their needs. Heading to my room to put away stuff, I saw Cora-San standing by my room again waving happily to me as I smile back unable to wave due to my full hands.
"H-hi C-Cora-San! I g-got n-new s-stuff t-today! C-come see!", I say, nudging my door open so we could head in and placing my stuff down on my bed. I pick up and separate them, explaining what they were for and what I could do with them especially my new paint kit I got, it being my first one so I wanted to experiment.
"Taiga-chan, where's the drawing? I don't see it on your desk.", Cora-San says, walking over to my desk before slipping and falling to the ground soundlessly on his back.
"D-does f-falling h-hurt?", I ask, totally forgetting about what he had said.
"No it doesn't, it just surprises me that's all. Where's the drawing? It's not on your desk.", he says again, getting back up and lighting a cigarette hanging from his lips.
"W-what?!? W-where is it?!? M-my p-present!!", I exclaim, frantically tossing papers around in hopes of finding my gift to Law but finding nothing but blank pages or pages I was working on.
"It's n-not h-here...", I whisper sadly, sitting on my bed before lying down on it and sniffling softly...

Timeskip!! Law's POV!

It was dinner time as we had eaten lunch at the island but most restaurants were closed or near closing so we chose to eat in our ship instead.
"Happy birthday captain.", Bepo-ya says, patting my shoulders with a smile as I head to look for Taiga-ya once again. I find her in her room, this time sleeping on her bed with slightly red and wet eyes and her desk a mess with papers thrown all over and disheveled pens left on her bed as well.
"Taiga-ya, wake up. It's time for dinner, cmon.", I say, shaking her shoulder slightly.
"S-sorry C-Cora-San...l-lost it...", she whispers sleepily, sniffling softly in her sleep. I pick her up and bounce her slightly, waking her up this time before heading out to the dinner table. She hugs my neck saying sorry frantically before I place her in her chair showing me her teary eyes as she stutters out another apology even as her plate is put in front of her filled with delicious smelling cut steak and rice with mushrooms and onions.
"It's alright Taiga-ya, I've got my own surprise.", I tell her, reaching into my pocket to take out the taken drawing from this morning. Her face lights up in confusion before smiling at me.
"H-appy b-birthday! F-from C-Cora-San a-and m-me L-Law!", she says happily, smiling brightly at me as the others look on in confusion at the main part of the picture.
"Who's that captain?", Bepo-ya asks, pointing towards the middle picture.
"That is someone I'll explain about after my goal has been completed, but it seems Taiga-ya can see him.", I explain, tucking the picture away again as Taiga-ya looks at us in confusion.
"S-o y-you g-guys c-can't s-ee h-im? N-no w-onder...", she says, looking to a corner of the room before waving at whomever she was looking at. To say this day was eventful is an understatement...

Happy birthday to Law!! Glad I finished this on time!
