The news of you and Law spread through the crew like wildfire and was followed up by many of them congratulating you and choruses of "I told you so". A lot of them thought you two would get together at some point after seeing how the captain acted around you the longer you were on the ship.

Law was good about behaving himself, keeping to the casual touching and kisses. You could tell he wanted more though. There were times when his hands would linger close to your hips, collar, or anywhere else he figured was roughly off limits for now. Kisses that lasted longer than what was considered publicly acceptable turned needy quickly. But he always kept himself from pushing things too far, pulling away before touching the parts of you he really wanted to and ending kisses right as he wanted nothing more than to deepen them. You didn't think a man could get so much enjoyment out of torturing himself so, but Law seemed to love it.

After the last day on the winter island, his touch became welcome all the time, no longer bothering you at all. Especially with how careful he was. He made it easy to relax when he was so considerate about it all. You drew the line at sharing a room though, more for your own sake than his. He'd made it clear that you were welcome in his whenever you liked but you weren't confident that you could behave as well as him in such a private space.

You didn't realize how attracted you were to him until you had the option to be with him. It's like you were avoiding getting your hopes up for something that might not happen but with how things were now, you found yourself admiring him constantly. On the couple occasions you'd seen him shirtless it took every ounce of self control to not get close enough to run your hands along his chest and stomach or trace his tattoos with your eyes and fingers. Law was gorgeous and he knew exactly what kind of effect he had on you.

You just about lost it with embarrassment when the two of you went shopping alone on a different island about a week ago. Being the sole doctor on his ship, he knew you weren't taking any preventative measures for future activities, whenever you got around to them so he took you into a store and bought condoms. He seemed to love getting you flustered and teased you often and that was just one of his many attempts and successes of doing so. At least you two didn't fight over stupid stuff anymore.

"(Y/n)-ya~" Law's teasing voice pulled you from your thoughts.

You were on deck. It was a nice day and you weren't planning on wasting it inside when the ship was surfaced. Law made himself at home standing behind you, caging you against the railing with his arms.

"Hey Captain." You smiled involuntarily while continuing to stare out to sea. Sometimes if you watched carefully you could see the fish below the waters pristine blue surface.

He kissed your cheek from behind and rested his chin on your shoulder. His hat was missing, probably abandoned so he could feel more of the sun on his already tanned skin.

"No signs of another ship?" He asked, scanning the water himself.

"Nope." You chirped. "Just our little Polar Tang." He was hesitant about surfacing near marine infested waters but you and half the crew were on deck, keeping a careful eye out while taking the time to also fish or just enjoy the weather.

He hummed in response, closing his eyes as you scratched his head. Over time, you learned the man was a sucker for scratches and shoulder rubs. Who would've known?You could see him forming a smirk from the corner of your eye, telling you that he was thinking about something.

"I have to take inventory of our medical supplies still. Care to keep me company?"

"I dunno...I'm liking my time outside right now." You gave him a sly grin as his smirk faltered for a brief second.
