Wake Up (Law X Reader)

Chapter XXVII

You stretched, happy, you had done a good job and were proud of what you had put on your document. The clock on your phone showed it was 12:36 a.m., making you even more proud that you got to go to sleep early that night. You stud up and immediately began cleaning the space Law had gave you in his office, not wanting to cause any problems because of it, he was do determined of you using the office that after the incident he got 2 chairs so you could use a more comfortable one while he used the more stylish one.

-Go to bed Bepo...- you whispered at the dog who had been sleeping on your feet for a while, he stretched and wagged his tail before walking out of the office, you following behind turning everything off before closing the office door- night boy- Bepo plopped in his bed as you walked inside the room where Law was sleeping

It was adorable, especially when he was sleeping so soundly. He had been on the hospital for almost 3 days on a row doing surgery after surgery, it was clear when he came home than evening that he had to rest. As much as you insisted for him to go to bed, he had also spent some hours on the office finishing some reports before you almost dragged him from there to bed after making him eat. After all, you both now looked after each other.

After admiring such a handsome face, you took your pjs and proceeded to get a quick shower before hopping to bed. You walked out of the bathroom fresh and ready to go to sleep when you noticed Law was rather, different, maybe it was the position he was in, more covered or that you could almost swear you heard him say something despite never hearing him talk on his sleep before. You slowly got in bed, eyes still on Law as his expression seemed to reveal one of distress, you were starting to worry at his state.

-Law...- you called for him, slowly running your fingers through his hair, it seemed to calm him down immediately as his expression went back to a normal one the more you played with his hair- are you okay?- his eyes slowly opened to see your worried face in front of him

-Morning- he said yawning

-It's still night Law... are you okay? - you asked again- you seemed to have a nightmare...- he looked at the clock in his bedside table and then at you, he felt relief he could still sleep

-I'm fine now- he lazily reached for you waist, pulling you closer to him as he buried himself on your chest before falling asleep immediately again- go to sleep...- he managed to mumble, you smiled at him before continuing to run your fingers through his hair as you also slowly fell asleep.

-Are you sure are okay? - you asked for the 5th time that morning, after what happened the prior night you were left feeling rather worried about Law who kept dismissing it every time you mentioned it. You were good reading people, and you knew something had been bothering him or at least worrying him.

-Leave it already please- he asked throwing the ball for Bepo in the park, who happily ran after it ignoring the serious conversation that he was leaving behind, not like he could comment on it either way

-I'm just worried about you- you said placing your head on his shoulder- I really care about you- you gave him puppy eyes but he just rolled his

-That doesn't work with me- he commented- it really is nothing

-You say that, but your hands are shaking- you said holding them, he hadn't realize that and was rather impressed and worried you could tell-if you really don't want to tell me it's fine, but I just want to know if I can do something to make you feel okay- he looked around and leaned to you whispering something in your ear thar made your face turned red- of course you would like that...

-You said you wanted to make me feel okay- he smirked. Bepo came back with the ball, this time you threw it after commenting on how Bepo was such a good boy. Law was hesitant, he had slowly opened with you about what he liked, how he felt about stuff in general and his life, his current life. He didn't know if he was ready to say it, and yet, you turned to smile at him, like if you were telling him that you were going to be there for whenever he was ready- today is the birthday of someone really important to me- he said out of the blue- he is no longer here

-Do you want to visit him? - you asked, he was rather surprised by your answer, but he liked it. You were pitying him, something that he really disliked, instead you were just supporting him, wanting to make sure he was really okay- I can go with you if you want me to, but if you don't want me to get involve I completely understand it- you knew how he would be the type to prefer dealing with this alone, you didn't want to seem like you were pushing him to let you in

-It would be nice if you come with me- he answered truly, he really wanted to have some support, if you were willing to do this for him then he really wanted to take it as no one had ever done it for him like that. You nodded understanding.

-Bepo! - you called the dog who brought a gigantic branch instead of the ball you had thrown to him a minute earlier- let's go home boy

It took a while to get there, especially because Law was driving rather slowly, almost as if he was trying to avoid it himself, yet he never stopped, pushing himself to do it. You were nice enough to get some flowers despite Law telling you not to, but there was no stopping you, he still appreciated it, but he wouldn't say it out loud.

-I can wait here if you want- you told him, he had been parked for a couple minutes trying to get his thoughts together, you placed your hand in his making him look at you

-Let's go- he sighted opening his door, you took your flowers and exited the vehicle as well. Law waited for you to hold his hand, which you held gladly as you both walked in between multiple tombstones

The sad surroundings affected you a lot, seeing the people crying over their death ones, but if it made Law feel better, you were more than willing to take it for him. As you both walked by, he stopped, right in front of a simple tombstone that read "Rosinante Donquixote". He said absolutely nothing, nothing at all, but you knew you were there, so you respectfully placed the flowers in front of it and waited.

He wanted to visit him for so long, it had been years, yet he only had brought himself to do so because you offered as an option. It was weird how much you seemed to encourage him since you two had met, he felt supported, and despite him now saying anything or crying, he knew that you would stay there with him.

-He would have loved you- was the first thing he said- you would've liked him too

-I'm sure he was really nice- he chuckled thinking of his goofy and stupid face, wondering if he would be proud of him becoming the person, he was right now

-Goodbye...- he said crouching to clean the tombstone from some dust- rest well- he said before standing up again- let's go- he said starting to walk back but you wouldn't move, instead you walked right in front of it

-It was a pleasure- you said bowing a little to it, earning a smile from Law who couldn't believe your antics, he loved them, he just loved you
