The Orphanage. {Reader x Law}

Hello Again.

You'll probably never forget your first day home, Mihawk was...surprised to say the least. 

"Is that a dog?! What is that thing doing--?! I never agreed to a dog!" Your father was not very happy about that at all and his mood only worsened when Baby 5 had to open her adorably innocent mouth. 

"He's not ours, he belongs to [F/n]'s boyfriend!"

Babe, why do you do these things?

Boy, was he angry at first, you thought his head was going to burst into flames. But he was a little relieved when you told him that Law's training to be a doctor and that he isn't a complete 'loser' like Mihawk thought he would be considering your...lifestyle.

It has been 2 weeks since you've been back home now and you've heard nothing from Law, you've tried texting him but you only just noticed yesterday that you managed to miss a number out when you were trying to copy his digits into your contacts. 

You're not the type to cry over something so trivial but that almost got to you, you've got his dog so he probably thought you were being a total asshole, not bothering to try and communicate with him. And after you promised him that you were trustworthy too. 

Thankfully, Baby 5 keeps in touch with Ace, she seems fond of that guy for some reason. But it's probably a good thing since you were able to get him to pass on a message to Law that you've got his number wrong so that he knows you're not being cruel or anything. 

Thank God for Ace and Baby 5.

You'll probably take Bepo along with you when you visit the orphanage soon, you have to do back there because Babe wants to hang out with Ace at some point next week. 

More like go on a date with him.

You're not going to cramp her style though, just tagging along to make sure he's a respectable young man that will treat her well, then you'll leave them be. Or subtly (not subtly) watch them from a distance, that sounds good too. 

You're still her big sister and it's your job to make sure that he doesn't try to do anything that may threaten her innocence in any way. The very thought of such a thing causing your brow to twitch slightly. 

I will kill him.

But for now, you're going to get some sleep. You slip into a vest top and throw on some shorts before practically crawling into bed, faceplanting your pillow hard as you ready yourself to K.O. 

It has been a long day, you've helped get Baby 5's new bed up the stairs and even helped set it up for her, you're beaten. It's a shame too since Shanks is meant to be coming over tonight, he seems excited about something, probably because it'll be the first time he has seen you since you've been back but you just don't have the energy right now.

You can hear voices downstairs so you assume that he has just shown up but you're far too tired and achy to get out of bed and go see him, not that he'll mind, Shank is nothing if not chilled. You can even hear him gushing over how cute Baby 5 is, not that you blame him of course.

She is quite the cutie, isn't she?

Your eyes falling closed as Bepo walks along your aching back, sniffing at your face. "Not now boy, I'm tired..." You can hear somebody entering your room, you heard them coming up the stairs previously too but you don't care. 

The only two people who would dare enter your room without permission would be Babe or your father, although you're going to assume it's the purplette since Bepo seems excited by the person's presence whereas Mihawk scares the poor little guy.

"Babe, have you seen the hot water bottle laying around anywhere?" You murmur into your pillow, too comfortable and lazy to look over your shoulder at the girl. Bepo jumping off of you to greet her. "My back is killing me."

She surprises you when she rests her warm hands on your lower back though, pressing down a little before moving her fingers up, seems she knows how to give massages. Now that's something that you didn't know.

"No, I'm afraid I haven't seen one anywhere, babe." That response, that voice. Your eyes just about launching out of your skull as you jolt up, gaze locking on an all-too-familiar smirk and your heart practically melting away inside your chest. 

Oh, shit!

"Law?!"

"[F/n]-ya." The boy hums nonchalantly before he pulls you into a hug, planting gentle butterfly kisses along your neck. "I told you I'll work something out, didn't I~?" You heart fluttering like crazy at those exact words as you return the hug, admittedly squeezing him a little in the process. 

He's here! He's really fucking here!

You didn't doubt for a minute that he'd find a way out of that place but you didn't expect it to be so soon and you didn't expect him to come here and see you personally. Your eyes widening when you realize just who he had arrived here with.

"Shanks, though?! D-Did he adopt you?!" Yes, you're excited. Shanks lives close-by and he's always coming over to see your father so Law's presence will be just as frequent if that's the case. Although your heart sinks when the raven shakes his head.

Then...how did he get here?

"Doflamingo's brother adopted me." That reply both surprising and confusing you, you're a little puzzled as to how he got here if somebody you've never even met or heard of is the one who adopted the guy. "He just happens to live with Red-ya." 

Red-ya? As in Shanks? DID HE JUST CALL SHANKS RED-YA?! Oh no, that's a bit cute. Oh yeah, I forgot that Shanks has a housemate...He adopted Law?! 

"I didn't need to do much research to achieve this though, Red-ya likes bars." You're listening to what the hottie has to say, of course but you're also fangirling so hard on the inside over the cute little nicknames he gives people. "I told him how fond I am of you and how I'm from the orphanage so he managed to talk Cora-san into adopting me."

"Cora-san?"

"Rosinante."

Oh right, that's his name! I never knew his last name was Donquixote though! 

"Anyway," Law continues with that cute smile on his face once again, a rare but beloved sight as he gently places a hand on your cheek, his thumb softly stroking at your skin. "I'm here now." He only confirms his presence further when he kisses you again, this time the liplock feels more hungry, but still harbors the same passion as the first. 

Distance really does make the heart grow fonder.

Your arms wrapping around the male's neck firmly as you deepen the kiss, your fingers running through his raven locks and your teeth nibbling gently on his bottom lip, although he doesn't allow you entry. Instead, he pitches your hip and causes you to gasp and the second you do, his tongue dominates your mouth. 

You really are a smartass, Law...but it's amazing.

You can feel the cheeky bastard smirking against your lips during this make-out session, your face burning to the temperature of the sun as he pulls you into his lap, his warm touch caressing your back and immediately making you forget all about your aches and pains. 

He soon breaks the liplock though, his grey orbs staring into yours as he runs his tongue along his bottom lip, savoring your taste. "I love you, [F/n]-ya." The words coming out of his mouth as smoothly as ever but you can tell that he's being sincere and that he probably doesn't say such things to people often.

The statement itself is probably the most loving thing anyone has ever said to you before though. Your father loves you, yes, but he has never said it out loud and nor has Baby 5, although she's only newly adopted so you wouldn't expect as much. And any ex-boyfriend's you've had were never really serious, they all scattered at the first sight of Mihawk.

But Law doesn't seem scared at all and that's the type of man you need since you can be real hard work sometimes.

"I love you too, Trafalgar~"
