(Y/n) has been 'asked' to design the new defence system against the monsters that terrorise her home. However, the designs are a little more complicated than your average gun. We're talking along the lines of... suits. All she needs are some compati...
You found yourself wandering and overlooking hundreds of candidates pushing through their daily regime, but no one had caught your attention. However, you had caught someone else's attention... and he wasn't here to mess around.
Most people had already made their way over to the sandpit to try and catch the Lieutenant's eye, completely overlooking your presence. And that was great because that was the plan. Unfortunately, you were not able to escape those preying silver eyes anytime soon. They'd been onto you from the moment Doflamingo had stepped away from you. You could almost feel their stare searching your movements for clues, calculating your weaknesses.
A triumphant smirk, that had sneaky written all over it, was now present on the mystery man's face. He made a leisurely beeline straight towards you. Each stride was brimming with confidence, and his short jet black hair bounced with every step. He was wearing the training uniform, no sleeve partly zipped black vest, black gloves and cargo pants. You could see the intricate black ink that decorated both his arms and chest, spiral into many different patterns, giving him an even more mysterious presence. On the back of his vest, there was a yellow logo, obviously spray painted on. It was hard to make it out but it looked like a smiley face. As he got close the dark bags under his eyes became more apparent and the glint of a few piercings was made visible.
"Can I help you?" You raised a brow when he stopped expectantly in front of you.
He offered you a thoughtful hum before giving you that smirk again "I want in"
"Excuse me?!" You raised a surprised brow, completely taken aback.
"I said, I want in" he repeated with a bit more impatience.
'I can't tell if he knows or if he's just fronting?' You watched him cautiously.
"If you're trying to use me as a way to get to the lieutenant then forget it! I don't get paid enough for that " you refused as you crossed your arms to emphasize your point. Though being smaller than him did not help your situation.
"There's no point in pretending" he stated in a bored tone. "I know for a fact that the flamboyant bastard wouldn't come down here to find recruits for anything he's working on. Besides, who leaves their understudy to their own devices" he shrugged. "I'm guessing someone made a deal and right now he's filling out his end of the bargain, which is pinky has no influence on the recruits chosen," he concluded.
You were completely silent, not entirely sure how to react. The guy had easily seen through your appearance and even laid out your own plan in front of you.
'He's smart... he's really smart...'
"You still here shorty" he frowned. "You still haven't confirmed my place"
'But he's an ass' you slumped 'well it's two pros against one, and the numbers don't lie'
"First of all, shorty is not my name so don't address me as that" you placed your hands on your hips.
"What should I address you as, you didn't come with a name tag" he pointed out
"Just Rose for now" you nodded, "and your name was?"
"Law, Trafalgar D Water Law" he answered.
"Law huh? I'll remember it" you smiled. "My second point was that no matter who picks the recruits, you'll still be working under Lieutenant Doflamingo, which means your gonna have to treat him with respect, are you capable of doing that?"
Law grimaced slightly at the thought. "I know when to keep my mouth shut if that's what you're worried about. I just want to get out of this place" he grumbled.
"...Why are you here Law?" Your curiosity got the better of you.
He raised a brow as if to say, 'where did that come from?'
"It just seems as though you're a very smart guy, someone who could've easily made it as an elite, but instead you're here" you looked round at the poorly constructed facility.
"I'm here because I like my freedom. I don't wanna be told how to live by anyone, and that sometimes causes problems" he dragged out the word whilst taking off one of his gloves and flexing his hand.
The word DEATH on his knuckles clearing up any doubts you had before. Though, it wasn't surprising, seen as how a requirement to get into this place was good fighting experience.
"If that's all for my interview then I'll see you around Rose" Law nodded before fixing his glove and walking away.
'He's leaving something out' You thought as you watched him leave. 'But I don't think that's gonna be a problem, I like him, I'll look into his reports later'
The excitement was starting to build up in your chest. It was like a swarm of butterflies were rushing around inside of you trying to escape through your chest. You'd already found a suitable candidate for your project. A smile made its way onto your face. Smile! You needed to find that smiley guy, something about him just made you feel like you needed answers. Immediately, you paced it towards the sandpit to see if he'd followed the lieutenant in the rush of the moment.
"Hey lady! Wait up!" A cheerful voice called out.
You swiveled your body around, to see what the commotion was about. Only to be greeted by the exact person you were looking for. It was the smiley guy from before. And he was practically dogging it towards you. You would've given him a smile but he was running so fast it didn't seem like he had any intention of stopping. You let out a small yelp as he skidded to a stop directly in front of you.
"Yo!" He chuckled.
"Uh... h-hi..." You stuttered.
He gave you the purest smile you'd ever seen and your heart just melted.
