AN: Hello! ^^ My first fanfiction. Enjoy! A review will be much appreciated! Sorry for any mistakes.
Warning: OOCness level - to infinity and beyond xD
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, or any of its characters. (But I wish I do, specially Traffy xD)
'What am I doing?' he asked to himself, while looking at the package of eraser and pencil that is being held by his hand right now.
People tend to do things that sometimes aren't good, especially when you know that there is a low chance of getting caught. For instance shoplifting, as we've all known that few people as in very few can get caught shoplifting and can still avoid getting caught by telling a believable excuse, like, 'I forgot to pay'. At this point in time, there is a certain teenager who is currently engaged in that certain activity.
Trafalgar Law. He continued to stare at the item that is in his hands and fighting the urge to put it in his bag and then turn away as if nothing happened. However, his little conscience is telling him to stop, be a good citizen and pay, if you do not have any money then, save to buy what you want. He sighed, his bag is now open and he just needed to slip the item inside. Then, he is free to go, but he hesitated and his good side got the best of him. When he's ready to place it on its shelf he didn't expect to hear a camera clicking sound. He turned around and looks at the offender.
"What unexpected scenery." The man said, holding his phone up and looking at it, smiling.
"Huh?" The only word that he produced now, he is nervous. He didn't expect to get caught, sure he takes time thinking what will happen if he got caught, but now he is not ready especially when the man had the evidence and when his mind is now set to, not to do it.
"You are stealing. That is not good." The man said. Snatching the pack of eraser with a pencil and put it in its shelf. He pocketed his phone and smiled, again.
Law is stuck in his place, he cannot move, he is stunned right where he is right now. He averted his gaze to his feet, doing a staring contest.
"Want to accompany me?" He continued, lift Law's head to make an eye contact, he just shivered and nervousness is evident in his eyes.
With a nod, he answered the question of the offender. He followed him through the crowd and then they went to a coffee shop. He can run away. Nevertheless, he just can't because remembering that the man had some evidence, right? He examined the man from the back. He is tall and maybe 23 or 24 years old, he has a flaming crimson colored hair, quite long, the man's skin color is pale the opposite of his dark skin and he's wearing a long cream colored coat with a black scarf adorning his neck. They sat in the outer part of the cafe. Law shivered mixed with fear and chilly winter wind. His nervousness is also doing a great job of making him cold. He pulled his scarf closer to his face. He cannot take it anymore, his stomach is churning and he feels like throwing up. 'Damn it. What did I do?'
"What do you like to drink?" The man casually said, letting him to sit first. He is looking directly at him; he cannot help, but smirk at the sight of the
scared student in front of him. He fought the smirk that wants to cross his face and instead he used a kind smile to let the one relax and feel comfortable.
"Eh?" Seriously, all this time Law cannot make a word. Is this the effect of being scared shitless? Maybe, however, why does this man want to treat him to a drink? This is weird or he just want to make him comfortable.
"Are 'Eh' and 'Huh' are the only words can you say? Answer me naturally, okay? I am not going to eat you.", He said and then pulls a chair for himself sitting across the one. He put his hand on his chin and stares at him, making a bored expression.
"Ah. No, I'm sorry. But, please de-"Before he can finish his sentence, the redhead cut him off.
"If you're requesting me to delete your photo of stealing, I will not do it."
"Why?" He said, raising his voice a little wishing it would scare the creepy man off.
"No reason. I'm just bored, I want some company today. In fact, I should be the one to ask you first, why are you stealing such cheap products?" He said, looking at Law. He thought that the kid could certainly afford to buy those things; he is studying in a private university after all.
"Uh. You see, I don't know I just have the urge to steal that thing." He whispered feeling embarrassed at his lame excuse.
"What? Do you have Kleptomania? Do you tend to steal something without your consent?"
"No!" He shouted, "I-I'm just saving up for Christmas, I want to buy something special for me." He moves his head down and stare at his gloved hands.
"You're such a kid. I didn't expect a university student, studying at a private university and such, will steal a lame product." The man answered and laughed silently, avoiding to catch any unwanted attention.
"Don't laugh! You don't know, but when you photographed me at that time, I'm going to return that thing!" He defended; his nose and ears are red, probably from being embarrassed and being cold at the same time.
"Eh, I don't think so."
"Believe in me please! I'm telling the truth." He pounded his fists on the table softly and looked at the man's eyes straightly.
"Why would I believe a thief?" The man has a point. Would you believe a thief? In every movie and dramas, a thief always says that 'I didn't do it' and that excuse became cliché for them.
"Please, believe in what I have said. I'm telling the truth.", Trafalgar said, he feels so lame right now. Because of saving up for Christmas just to buy gifts for his family and friends he started to steal, he knows it's bad, but saving money is really hard. Studying in a private university doesn't mean that your family is rich; he just got a scholarship in that university because of his intelligence. Moreover, that intelligence, he will use it to get away with this flame haired man.
"I will do what you want, for one condition. Spend time with me when I'm bored." The stranger started to negotiate, thinking the student would do it. In addition, he's not wrong, if just hanging out with this man would erase one of the 'wrong things that I did in my life' evidence, then he is happy to comply with it.
"But, I'm a medical student. I have a busy schedule and I think I can't always accompany you when you need me." He's not that easy to get, Trafalgar thought. He cannot consider taking up that request if his studies are in the line.
"Don't worry, I'll call or text you. You just need to reply if you're busy with your schedule, then I won't bother you." The stranger answered. This is an easy bargain and Trafalgar thought that he could lie to this man and just hang out with him for short hours. Maybe he can also make this man more bored when he is hanging out with him. In that way, this man will be bored with his company and delete that photo and then he can live his life peacefully again.
"We're talking for a long time; I still didn't give you my name. I am Eustass Kid. It's a pleasure to meet you." The flame haired man said smiling at Law. "Now, what is yours?"
"Trafalgar Law. Nice to meet you too." Law flashed back the same smile.
"Trafalgar. What do you like to drink?"
AN2: Soooooo, yeah. End of Chapter 1. The beginning is quite funny to me because it's very stupid. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay, don't mind me.
More to come. ^^
