This is a story i have been thinking of a lot lately. Hope you enjoy.

Me no own one piece.

Warnings: Rape, different friends, AU and OOC characters and my general writing.

Searing pain shot through his body as he was entered forcefully by the man again and again. A hand Grabbed his hair and forced him to suck on the other mans erection. Tears flowed freely from his eyes. The pain was unbearable. After what felt like forever, the two rapists finally climaxed and salt, thick liquid filled the young boy's mouth, wich he spat out. The two men pulled up their pants and just left like him like that. Lying on the cold, snowy ground crying and bleeding. After a good half an hour the boy slowly sat up in the alley. It hurt and it was cold, but he had to. Raven hair fell into nut-brown eyes. Pulling out his phone, he pressed the speed dial for his best friend, Zoro.

"Luffy? whats up?"

"Z-Zoro... He-He... and then... They... Oh god... Zoro it hurts..."

"Luffy, did someone beat you up?"

"N-No..."

"Are you hurt somewhere?"

"I-I don't know... It hurts..."

"Want me to come pick you up?"

"Umm..."

"*sigh* Call someone else if you just want attention. I got a test to study for."

"No! please-"

The call ended. Luffy, as we now know the boy as, tried many different people. His friends, brother and father. None of them came. He was all alone. Sitting there crying in the snow, he fell asleep.

A boy of 17 gasped as he sat up, still shaken from the memory. 2 years had passed, but it still came to haunt him when snow fell. This was not such a case. After he moved away two years ago, he had made new friends. Friends he could trust. Four of them lived with him, all of them was older, but they were easier to make conversations with than people his own age. Now, they were moving back to his 'home'. No wonder he remembered.

Taking a shaky breath he looked at the clock. 06.17. Lucci was usually up by this time. Swinging his legs to the floor, he slowly stood up. The floor was cold, but he didn't mind. Opening the door quietly, he walked down the hallway. He passed a few doors and finally stopped in front of one of them. opening the door slowly, he peaked his headed inside. "Is there something wrong, Luffy?". Luffy stepped inside the room, closing the door behind him. "I-I had a nightmare, no, a memory. it was of 'that' night."The raven held his head down. A sigh came from the older man. "Again?" A slight nod. Another sigh. Bare feet padded across the floor and a warm hand slowly stoked his hair as he was pulled into a warmer hug. The scent of cinnamon and caramel hit his nose. It was... A comforting smell. Slowly he closed his tired eyes. The last thing he heard was a "Good night, little snowflake." before he fell asleep, leaning against a strong and warm chest. No way nightmares would haunt him now.

"Good mornin' minna."

"morning, Luffy." was the reply. Kidd was sitting at the table sipping coffee and reading the newspaper as usual. Kaku was on the couch, Eating pancakes with a shit load of syrup. Lucci was also sitting at the table, munching on some leftovers from yesterday. Law was in the kitchen making more pancakes for himself and Luffy. "Ready for the big day today, Luffy?" came from Kidd. Sighing and slumping with his shoulders as he made his way over to the couch with Kaku he replied "I don't think i'll ever be." Kaku put an arm around his shoulders. "No worries. I'm in the year above you after all." Smiling as he leaned into the embrace, Law came over with the pancakes. "And I'll be right across the street if one of you should need me." Right before digging in Luffy said " Let them come. With you, I'll be ready. You guys really are te best!" And with that, he dove in.

At the new apartment Luffy was seen unpacking his clothes when Kaku came inn. The age diffrence between Luffy and Kaku was one year. Law was 21, Lucci 28 and Kidd 26. "What's up, Kaku?" He shrugged. "Nothing special, Just wondering if you could tour me later. A faint smile came to Luffy's lips. "Sure, after first day of school I'll give you a tour." Kaky grinned and ran over to hug him. "ThankyouThankyouThankyou!" "There, there. It is still a week until first day of school."

No matter what, Kaku would be there for him at school. No matter what.

A/N: So do you like the story so far? If you did, Please tell me so i can continue, knowing someone is reading my story and liking it.

Update: ok, so this chapter was very short at first, so i added a bit.

Oh and to the one that reviewed, Pen-Woman was it?: No, they just didn't know. And Lu had been extra clingy for a while so they thought it was just for attention.
