Law had just finished his shift in the hospital at 11:00 p.m. and he was so ready to collapse in his bed. It was Friday and he was looking forward to having tomorrow off to relax. He tidied himself up and headed to his office. Unlike most offices, there wasn't a single personal item in it. No family photos, no trinkets, not even a tacky paper weight. Law thought things like that were too trivial. After filing away his reports and checking his schedule for Sunday, he walked out. On his way, he ran into his close friends and colleagues: Shachi, Penguin, and Bepo. They were also ready to walk out after their day of work.

"Hey Law!" Penguin said. "Are you up for a drink tonight?'

"Not really, I don't feel like going out tonight." He replied.

"Come on! Live a little!" The redhead, Shachi, exclaimed. "When was the last time we all went out for drinks?"

"Three days ago at that cheap bar with shitty beer on the corner of the street."

"Exactly!" Not the least bit fazed by Law's attitude. "We're going somewhere nicer this time."

"Where?" He asked out of curiosity.

"There's this new bar opened up on Water 7th Street called the Franky Family Tavern." Bepo explained. "We checked the alcohol choices already and they have pretty good beer and wine for a reasonable price." Law contemplated this. He did need a drink after all the surgeries he completed.

"Fine, why not?" Law said, resigned.

"Awesome!" Shachi yelled. "Let's head over there now." They headed to the hospital's employee parking lot and got in Law's car, a custom-painted, yellow G37 with leather interior. Bepo sat in the passenger's seat while Shachi and Penguin took the back. Law drove out and was given directions to the bar.

Fifteen Minutes Later At The Pier

The neighborhood the bar was located in was around the pier. The city lights flickered on the water as ripples spread. Law parked the car in a parking space facing the ocean. After they had all gotten out they crossed the street and entered the neon flashing bar. On the outside, it was all wooden and gave the impression of an old fashioned tavern from the 1800s, on the inside though, there were leather booths, a dance floor, and a fully stocked bar. Neon lights flashed and illuminated the center where the dance floor was located. The four of them moved towards the bar and grabbed a few seats. The bartender was a man named Franky, the owner of the bar, who had bright blue hair and wore only a pair of underwear and an opened Hawaiian shirt.

"So! Haven't seen you people before. What can I get you?" Franky asked.

"Two beers, one mojito, and a scotch." Shachi replied.

"Coming right up! My drinks are SUPER good!" With that, he left to get them their drinks. They were just talking amongst themselves until he came back when the lights start to dim. Franky came back and with a smirk, passed around their drinks and decided to give them an explanation.

"You guys came on a good night!"

"Why's that?" Bepo asked.

"We get various bands to play here on Friday nights. I just happened to call in a few favors and get an extremely talented band to play tonight." He seemed pleased with himself over his skills.

"Who?" Shachi asked. He was hoping for a girl band so there would be some eye candy.

Suddenly, all the lights were off, people were clearing the dance floor, moving away to go find a good seat. When the lights came back on, in the center of the floor was a stage and on it was a band. Law glanced over, slightly curious to see how good the band was. There were four members it looked like, all teenagers. One of them was wearing yellow pants with overalls over a white T-shirt, he had a pair of red goggles over a white and yellow hat. The most noticeable thing about him was his long nose. He was stationed around a set of drums, obviously the drummer. There was also a blonde with part of his hair covering half of his face, on the other half was a rather curly eyebrow. In his mouth was a cigarette and he was wearing dark jeans, a dark blue buttoned vest, and a light blue dress shirt. In his hands were a blue bass. The guy next to him had unusually green hair and a scar over his left eye. He had a pair of black jeans coupled with a tight, white shirt and a black bandana over his head. He was holding a guitar. When Law saw the last member, his heart just stopped.

He had wild, midnight black hair, which framed his cute face. Under his left eye was a small scar which added to his boyish charm. Around his neck was a white cord with a straw hat attached to it. His outfit consisted of a pair of tight, blue shorts that hugged his ass perfectly with an equally tight red tank top that showcased a pair of delicious abs. His skin was a nice tanned, golden color and his eyes were so deep and dark, Law could just sink into them. He was also holding a red guitar and had a microphone on a stand near his lips, which caused Law to lick his own at the site of them.

"They're called the Straw Hats." Franky said. "They're friends of my girlfriend. The drummer is Usopp, he's cool, but gets scared easily. The bass player is Sanji, he goes crazy for any woman. The moss head is Zoro, when he's not drinking my inventory dry or performing, you'll find him asleep somewhere. Lastly, their lead singer and other guitarist is Luffy. He eats like a maniac every time and can be pretty annoying, but he's a real charmer."

I'll say. Law thought to himself, the guy, Luffy, was too damn cute. He was very tempted to get to know him after the show.

"Well, just sit back and enjoy the show. Oh, and since it's your first time here, first rounds on the house." After that, he left to join a women at the end of the bar. She had pale skin with blue eyes and black hair. She wore a dark purple dress and was smiling with Franky as they stared at the stage. No doubt she was Franky's girlfriend.

"Hello all you drunken people!" Luffy announced and was greeted by laughter, hoots and dog whistles. Law saw some drunk men staring at Luffy with lustful eyes and glared. He didn't know Luffy but already he hated seeing people looking at him like that.

"Tonight we'll perform our new song: Not a One-Night Stand!" The music started, Luffy was incredibly skilled with the guitar and was strumming such complicated cords, his fingers flying. Soon, he grabbed the mic and began to sing, at that point, Law was enchanted.

The first night we met, I was drinkin' down my tears

Just lost my girl, caught her in a few affairs

I hoped this pain wouldn't last, I knew it would take awhile

Might take a few weeks, for me to be able to smile

Then I saw you walking over, and you were staring right through me

Pulled up a chair, and through the night you kept me company

I found heaven, just from looking into your eyes

And I was hoping,maybe we don't need to say bye

I don't want another heart-breaking love

Another pain to get away from

I don't want to let go of your hand

Can we make this more than a one-night stand

Those lyrics were full of emotion, Law was speechless. Luffy's voice was incredible, and they way he looked on stage, God, he was breathtaking! The show ended and the band members got off the stage and headed to the bar. Law watched as the guy who caught his interest seated himself right next to him. Up close, he was even more cute and Law could smell the scent of the ocean on his skin. Law decided now was the best chance to strike a conversation.

"Nice performance up there." He said.

"Thanks!" Luffy turned towards him and smiled. He had a smile that was filled with so much innocence and happiness it made Law a little speechless. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy, leader of the Straw Hats!" He extended his hand.

"Trafalgar Law, surgeon at the Heart Hospital." He took it and shacked. Law noted how soft his hands were and gave a friendly squeeze.

"Wow! So you're like a hero then!"

"A hero?" No one ever told him that.

"Yeah! You save people's lives, therefore you're a hero!" He told him confidently. Law smirked, he thought it was pretty nice of Luffy to say something like that about a morbid person like himself. Luffy's band mates were all socializing with other people in the bar. The blond was fawning over all the women in the room, The pointy nose guy was talking to some other people while the moss head was in a drinking contest with his friends. He knew immediately that he was gonna have to drive all his drunk friends home later. They continued their small talk and ordered a few more drinks, Law definitely thought Luffy was cute. He also noticed the way Luffy looked at him, he found it very flattering.

"Hey, Law?" Luffy asked.

"What Luffy-ya?"

"I think you're really handsome and a good person, do you want to date me?" He said with a bright smile. Law nearly choked on his drink and spit it all out. He was still coughing and Luffy was looking at him with concern.

"Did I say something bad?" Luffy was giving him such a sad face, but it was so cute.

"No…cough, cough… I just didn't expect such a question out of the blue." He replied honestly.

"Well… normally I'm not as straightforward about relationships with other people, and I hate one-night stands…" Law figured that was where his inspiration came from. "but I find something about you irresistible. Plus, I saw the way you were looking at me on stage." He added with a teasing smile. Law couldn't believe his luck, he came to a bar, met a cute stranger, and said stranger finds me interesting and wants a steady relationship. He thought, maybe I'm gonna die soon and God is giving me one last gift.

"If I were to say yes…" He replied slowly, watching Luffy's eyes widen. "How would that make you feel?"

"I would kiss you right now!" He said in triumph, and damn Law's heart was hammering in his chest.

"Well, Monkey D. Luffy," a smile forming on his lips, "I would be happy to date you."

Luffy was ecstatic, and true to his word, he leaned forward, brought his hands around Law's neck and brought his lips to his own. Luffy loved the feel of Law's muscles and his scent, he smelled like smoke and apples and cinnamon and a whole lot of other scents that drove him crazy. He could feel Law's strong yet gentle hands reach around him, one resting on his hips, pulling him closer, while the other caresses his back, sending shivers up his spine. The kiss wasn't even intimate and with tongue, but a simple kiss from Law was way better than all other kisses he's gotten.

Law was most certainly enjoying the kiss. He loved how soft Luffy's skin was under his rough hands and the sound of his heartbeat on top of his own. Up close, Law could smell the scent of chocolate and strawberries underneath the smell of the ocean. Luffy's lips were so soft and he sighed as they continued to kiss. He wanted to like Luffy's lips to deepen the kiss, but at the same time, he wanted to take everything slow and savor the feel of Luffy. In the end, the two mentally agreed that if the first kiss was this good, then the rest of their experiences together would be even sweeter.
