Starring: Ace, Law, Penguin, Shachi
Time: Eh, a month or two after Ace became a division captain? Yeah, let's do that.
Rating: T for... semi-sexual reference? More like threat of bodily harm but whatever.
Summary: Ace was careless in a battle so he goes to get some heartfelt medical care from our favorite surgeon.
"Honestly, you should be ashamed as a logia user with such a high bounty. What sort of idiot gets hit by an arrow made of seastone and not notice until they've lost as much blood as you did?"
The snarky comment is accompanied by a sharp pull of sterile white wrapping, causing the already infamous, recently-appointed second division captain of Whitebeard's crew to wince and whine petulantly.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Not so rough Tralfagar!"
Law releases a rather indelicate snort as he tugs a bit more harshly on the bandages wrapped around a broad torso a tad unnecessarily. "Don't be such a baby. This is a rival ship, not your nursery so you can't complain about the treatment. I still fail to see why you insist on coming here to get your wounds tended to instead of going on land and visiting a doctor like most normal people do. We're supposed to be enemies you incorrigible fool."
Stripping off slightly bloody gloves, Law moves to stand up but strong hands gently grasp his hips and hold him in place. He is kneeling on the edge of the bed, one leg between Ace's bracing him from when he was bending over the other to get a closer look at minor wounds while the other supports him from the floor. Lips pressing into a slightly displeased frown, Law asks flatly, "Did I miss something Fire Fist-ya?"
A cheeky grin is sent up at him. "I still feel the sting from the antiseptic. Kiss it better?" Law pauses in his futile attempts to dislodge Ace's grip on him as he replies somewhat sourly, "Fire Fist-ya… your 'wounds' were superficial at best. The only pain you will feel is my nodachi when it goes up where the sun doesn't shine."
"Kinky. I like it."
It's times like these when Law exercises self-control he never knows he has. Releasing an exasperated sigh, he stares down at Ace with an unreadable expression before leaning forward. Ace braces himself for the flick to his forehead that is undoubtedly coming. It is Law's usual punishment when he is being unreasonable or annoying and some masochistic part of him is inwardly pleased at simply keeping the surgeon's attention on him for that extra little bit of time.
What he doesn't expect is for warm lips to press against his forehead instead, in a simple but strangely tender gesture. He is so shocked that he doesn't even notice Law slipping out of his slack grasp and gathering his supplies.
He is still frozen in shock when Law moves to the door and says without turning back, "Wash the sheets before you go you moocher. I don't want to see a single drop of blood on them when I return."
Ace is still gaping like a goldfish as Law leaves.
It's the first time he is left speechless.
Owari:
Penguin and Shachi blink when their captain brushes past them in a brisk pace, their ears barely catching the muttered greeting from his retreating form. Looking back at each other, Penguin asks uncertainly though with a mischievous amusement evident in his tone, "Was the captain…?" Shachi just shakes his head, a knowing smirk blossoming on both their faces.
There's only one person in then entire world who can make their captain's cheeks turn that shade of red and they snicker to themselves as they head off to invite their 'guest' to dinner.
A/N: I'm so happy~ I'm finally answering my One Piece fanfic call even though I really shouldn't! This isn't my first fanfic but it is my first time writing for the OP fandom so cut me some slack if characters are OOC. I don't know why I chose Ace x Law to star my so-called debut but well... whatever. It's such an under appreciated pairing so I'll give it some love~
These are drabbles so some chapters are going to be super short (like this one) and others will be a bit longer (but probably no longer than 2,000 words) so please don't demand 4,000+ word-length chapters.
Reviews are always welcome but it's such an uncommon pairing so I won't keep my fingers crossed.
To those who like the pairing and/or maybe/hopefully/possibly fall in love with it by reading this, enjoy!
