WARNING: OOC Law
It was raining that day.
Law was on the way home from the hospital where he is working.
Luffy was on the way home from university.
As they are walking opposite each other their eyes met for a second. And time seems to slow down as they face straight on the pavement again.
They didn't think anything about it until much later.
Law has been living his life for far too long. He saw his love ones leave him one by one. It seems like he is cursed to live a life of solicitude.
Luffy lost everything he considered to be important on his life. But he still smiles because as his nakama said they will not want him to count his loss but what he still has. So he fights even if Sabo and Ace have been gone.
They have met accidentally, with Luffy wishing for something and Law grieving his loss.
As Luffy is melancholy walking in what seems to be a primeval potter's field; although you can't really call it a graveyard because it's only few and it seems to be privately owned. As he is walking through the open grass field he could feel the heavy and gloomy atmosphere.
Law is in front of their family grave. It's that time of the year again; his family's death anniversary. Although he knows that he couldn't get them back he still opt to isolate himself from the society for fear of being hurt again.
As Luffy stared at the guy who is in front of the tomb he can't help wanting to cheer him up. Since he know what it's like for your love ones to leave you. He saw dandelions then an idea struck him.
"Ah! I could blow these. Shishishi."
It's near sundown as Law is standing up he saw dandelion seed heads dancing in the air. He moved his head left and right searching where it came from. As he saw the origin; a man blowing it. With the dandelions dancing in the air in an open green grass field and sunset as its background. Its like the time stopped and the scenery in front of him is ethereal.
As Luffy saw the guy stood up and turn his head left and right he could see the astonishment in his face.
"Wooh he smiled a little"
"Hey it's great that you seemed to cheer up a little! Shishishi." Luffy shouted to the guy.
Law heard the man call out but realizing that he is practically a stranger he started walking away while thinking what a unique laugh he has.
Luffy watched the guy until he couldn't see him anymore. As he keep on standing there the feeling of loneliness started to crawl in.
"Sigh… I keep having this empty feeling inside. Although I have my nakama, this feeling won't go away. Why is that? With Robin and Zoro, Nami and Sanji, Kaya and Usopp together while Brook, Franky and Chopper having found want they want in life. I wish to find it too the solution to this puzzling feeling."
Law is in a bookstore as usual searching for a new medical book. As he his scanning through the shelves of books he saw the man blowing the dandelions the other day. He is standing in front of a shelf thinking hard with his fingers in his chin and his eyebrow crunched down while pouting.
Luffy is in the bookstore thinking of what kind of book to buy for Robin's Birthday gift when he felt that someone is gazing at him. When he looked at his back he saw the guy in front of the grave the other day.
"Ah! You're the guy in front of the grave. Hi! Ohh would you know what kind of book to buy if you are interested in history?" Luffy asked.
Law is stunned for being caught staring and also for having asked a question out of the blue.
"Ahem.. This one I recommend it." Law suggested while clearing his throat.
"That helps a lot its hard thinking, its kinda not my forte. Shishishi by the way I'm Luffy. Monkey D. Luffy. Nice to meet you."
" Law, Trafalgar D. Water Law."
"Trafol…Trafal-guy? Torao!"
"…?" Law can't comprehend what happened.
"Thanks a lot for your help I'm gonna pay for this now. ~"Luffy told Law.
"Otanjoubi Omedetou! Robin! Here it's my gift." Luffy grinning
"My… thank you Luffy. This is an interesting book. Where did you find this?'' Robin asked surprise in her voice for she knows Luffy doesn't know anything about history.
"What! What What…" Nami asked.
"Luffy found you a good book?" Zoro questioned.
"Yes this is a really fascinating anthology." Robin answered.
"Luffy where did you even get this book?" Sanji asked.
"In the bookstore." Luffy shortly replied.
"Not that shithead." Sanji retorted.
"Yeah Luffy what Sanji-kun meant is how did you know that Robin will like this book." Nami voiced out.
Luffy is puzzled.
"Coz we all know you're an idiot Luffy." Usopp vocalize.
"Usopp-kun that is mean." Kaya chastised.
"Well we all know that's true though Kaya." Franky remarked.
"Yohohoho.. Luffy-san who recommend this book to you? Because that's the only answer, that someone suggested this book." Brook chimed in.
"Ah! You have a point there Brook." Chopper said.
"Ohh! That, Torao suggested it to me while I'm thinking what to get Robin." Luffy respond.
"Torao?!" Everyone asked.
"Hn. I met him on the bookstore. Although I've seen him in the graves before. Shishishi." Luffy announced.
"Hmmm. Interesting." Robin casually said.
Luffy was in a café passing the time; waiting as he still has one subject left. When he saw Law entering the café looking worse for the wear.
Law is drained though drained cant really describe what he is feeling. So he decided to get some coffee. When he walked in the café he heard a voice call out to him.
"Yo Torao! You okay?"
" 'M fine just tired from work."
"Ohhh.. You're working I thought you're like me a university student."
"No I work at a hospital. Im a surgeon. A cardiothoracic surgeon."
"A doctor?! Wow Torao is a genius. But what is a cardsotic surgeon?''
Law is a bit dumbstruck as he didn't know that someone still don't know what a surgeon is and he is a university student to boot.
"Ahem. Its Car-di-o-tho-ra-cic anyway it's a doctor who specializes in operating on heart, lungs etc."
"Oh it's a mystery doctor I see. Shishishi." Luffy retort.
"Well you could say that." Law tiredly answered Luffy.
"It seems you're tired I'll treat you as thanks for you suggesting the book. Robin loved it."
"No need to do that I'm happy I could help." Law monotonously replied.
"Ehh. Don't worry about it I just wanted to cheer you up. What do you want?"
Law is a little taken a back as to what Luffy said. They've only just met and they're not even friends.
"Fine. Though might I ask why you seem want to cheer me up every time?"
"Coz I like you!"
"...Like? in what way?"
"Hmmm. I dunno also it's just that when I saw you on the graveyard its like it's natural for me to cheer you up."
Law can't help but smile a little feeling being lightened up a bit to what he heard Luffy say.
Hello guys! Im back I decided to put some body to this story. Just because I have time shishishi. Anyway I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me what you think.
