The Orphanage. {Reader x Law}

Time To Go.

Where the hell is he?!

You're currently waiting on Law, you had arranged to meet him 20 minutes before the bus comes so that he can say goodbye to Bepo. You've only been waiting 70 seconds, sure, but it's still fucking cold out here.

A huff leaving your lips as you lean against the wall, snuggling the puppy closer to your chest. The adorable little guy simply sitting inside your coat once again, seems he really likes this thing. You're not sure if that's because of the fur or because of your scent though.

A cheerfulness taking over you as you hear footsteps approaching from behind, turning around with a smile on your face, your eyes set on Law. Finally. The male harboring his usual smartass smile but his eyes have a subtle happiness about them this morning.

He's pretty handsome when he's in a good mood...

"Not feeling sick today?" And immediately, you're back to hating him. A discreet chuckle leaving his lips as he leans against the wall beside you. His smirk only growing when you shoot him a glare. 

Don't test me, boy. I will kill you.

"I bring Bepo here 20 minutes early, freezing my tits off in the process, just so you can say goodbye to him and this is the thanks I get?" Of course you're only playing, you're not too butthurt about it, really. Law's grey orbs now scanning the ground briefly before he frowns.

"Where is Bepo anyway?" The white ball of fur peeking his head out of your coat collar, you left the zipper down a little so that the little guy can actually breath in there. Law smiling slightly at the sight before he gives you a somewhat pointed look. "You spoil him."

Of course he's right there but if anything, he's happy about that fact, he knows you'll take good care of the little guy in his absence at least. 

"How could I probably resist the cutie~?"

A sudden heat rising to your cheeks when Law runs his fingers through the white fur, his face lowered to his dog's current height as Bepo licks his owner's face sweetly. You're not sure why it's making you blush so much though, it could be because Bepo's face is just below yours and Law's leaning in close to him (and therefore, you) or you're simply just coming down with a cold. 

It is winter after all.

Regardless what the cause of it is, you manage to shrug it off nonetheless, forcing yourself to appear more confident. "I'll miss you, boy..." Law murmurs quietly, pulling away from his dog but his hand never leaves the little guy's fur. 

"Ahem!" You playfully clear your throat, catching the handsome bastard's attention once again, his grey orbs flickering up to your face and his smirk never wavering in the slightest, his hand only now leaving Bepo's warmth.

"Oh yeah, I'll miss seeing you headbutt rakes too, [F/n]-ya."

OH? YOU WANNA GO THERE, TRAFALGAR?! 

You have more confidence in yourself now that Baby 5 isn't here to get her precious innocence destroyed, a grin dominating your features as you lock eyes with the trainee doctor. "Oh yeah?! Well, I'll miss your..." And you're stumped, you were so focused on the fact that Babe isn't present this time that your brain didn't even get the chance to conjure up anything smart. 

"My...?"

SHIIIIIIIIT! SHUT UP, LAW!

"Uh...I can't think of anything that I'll miss about you, ain't that a shame~?" A smooth recovery on your part, the response causing the boy in front of you to pout slightly, his eyes still harboring a slight mockery to them though.

Fuck yeah, I'm slick~!!

"That is a shame, I'll miss a lot about you. Especially your scream when it comes to a tattooist's needle." 

Damn, I knew he'd use that against me one day! I wasn't even the screamer and he knows it!

"Yeah?! Well, I'll miss your..." SHIT. "Love...for...vanilla! B-Because you're plain like that!" These recoveries are just going to get worse, you should really quit whilst you're ahead but you refuse to do so, you've got far too much pride. 

Can't handle all these recoveries can you, Trafalgar?!

"I'll miss your stuttering, it's cute." Law retorts calmly, the smirk tugging on his lips as your face lights up like a firework, your eyes widening to the size of hot-air balloons and your brain left scampering for a response. 

FUCK! Compliments?! He's trying to kill me with kindness! I won't allow it!

"And I'll miss your smirk..." You're not necessarily lying, it's a mocking expression and a part of you wants to slap it right off of his face but another side of you finds it extremely attractive at the same time. Law raising a curious brow, clearly not expecting such a comeback. "Because it's sexy!" 

Oh God.

Despite looking calm and confident on the outside, you're breaking down on the inside, your mind screaming all kinds of obscurities at you for being so bold and your soul feeling as if it has just abandoned ship.  

What did I just saaaayy?!

That sweet and almost genuine smile making a reappearance on Law's lips instead of his smirk as he processes what you've just said, you've only seen him give that look when he's been playing with Bepo. Your heart feeling stiff all of a sudden and breathing has become a real chore. 

Just don't show him that you're nervous, [F/n]! You got this!

"Smooth, [F/n]-ya." 

But before you get to bask in glory, he leans in and completely turns your brain to mush when his lips press against yours, the only thing keeping you from collapsing is the fact that he wraps one of his arms around your waist but still keeps enough distance between your chests to make sure he doesn't push against Bepo.

HE'S KISSING ME?! HE'S FUCKING KISSING ME!!

Your brain fogs for a minute, he was sassing you just a moment ago and now this, you've never had to handle such a turn around before. Slowly, you begin to return the kiss, one of your arms still keeping Bepo elevated whilst the other hesitantly wraps around Law's neck. 

Apart of you is fearing that he's just doing this to mess with you and that he'll try to make a joke out of your entire existence any second now, but you also know that he's not that kind of guy.

Sure, he messes with you like crazy, but he isn't the type to go this far just to get a kick. 

The kiss does feel passionate from him though, it feels like the type of kiss that a groom would give his bride at the alter. Your face flushing even more at the realization as Law breaks away for air. 

Holy shit, he's a good kisser...

"If I'm being serious though," Law rasps, barely gaining his breath as his hand brushes some of your hair from your face, a loving look in his eyes and his cheeky little smile growing more adorable by the second. "I will miss you too."

Shit, my heart! I think he has broken me!

Your body still feeling somewhat frozen from the affections that you've just received, a smile slowly beginning to grace your lips as he leisurely toys with a single strand of your hair and your heart beating like crazy inside your chest.

He's so fucking sweet when he wants to be, oh my god!

"Y-Yeah, I'll miss you too despite what I say..." Apart of you wishes you could ask your father to adopt this handsome pain in the ass too but you know that there's no way in hell he'd adopt a guy, especially not one that you've grown pretty close to.

A lazy shrug of Law's shoulders before he's plants another kiss on your lips, one that you're actually expecting this time so you manage to return it immediately, smiling a little against his lips. 

His goatee tickles. I like it. 

"Don't worry, [F/n]-ya. I'll work something out."

Huh?
