"Again Straw hat-ya?"

"Yup"

"I don't even want to know how you managed this one" Law said with a scowl

"Ah! Sabo just left and then Ace and I were cooking and then-"

"I meant that literally Straw hat-ya, I don't want to know" Luffy swung his legs experimentally as Law moved around the room pulling things from drawers. His hand was pressed with his face keeping pressure on his minor cut to keep the blood from flowing freely. Ah, he shouldn't call it a minor wound, that might irritate Ace. It was and he was quoting here 'a stab wound gushing blood' exact words from Ace when calling Sabo.

"mkay"

Law returned to where he sat a bag in hand "Let's see it then" Luffy let his hand drop away with the cloth. Law dropped in the chair opposite Luffy and peered into his face. Luffy waited as a small amount of blood ran down his face. Law rolled his eyes and grabbed a something to clean the wound out.

"I'd say stay still but I am well aware it is impossible for you to do that. So just try to keep your face still" Law went to work cleaning and stitching the 'gushing stab wound' Luffy to his credit managed to sit relatively still.

Every visit to the hospital was the same. Ace would freak out, Luffy would chat up everyone he met and Sabo would do his best to remain calm. The nurses – after a very short period of time, due to Ace, Sabo and Luffy being highly annoying – would take Luffy away. Then the youngest would terrorize whichever doctor he was placed with.

Only two doctors had ever been able to handle Monkey D. Luffy and his brothers, one Trafalgar Law and a Tony Tony Chopper – who was technically a med-student.

On Luffy's first visit to the hospital the doctors had spent hours on a simple stitch unable to get seven year old to cooperate. The vast amount of trips following the first resulted in doctors avoiding being the one who got to patch the hyper boy up. Thankfully when Luffy hit high school there was a new intern and he was more then capable.

A long gash along Luffy's leg brought the teenager and his brothers back to the hospital. It wouldn't be a lie to say the doctor's who spied them ran for the hills. The nurses figured their only chance to get the kid dealt with was to shove him to the new intern.

Trafalgar Law strolled into the room calm, controlled and slightly standoffish, a professional young man. Not twenty minutes later Luffy came out bandaged and happy. The staff was stunned, there actually lived a person who could get Luffy dealt with in less than an hour unscathed.

Law had every intention of avoiding Luffy the next time he showed up, naturally that and everything else involving Luffy didn't and wouldn't work out in his favor. Being the only one who could handle Luffy, the nurses and other doctors put the three troublemaker brothers with Trafalgar every single time they ended up injured.

Through it all Luffy remained more patient with Law then any other doctor in the hospital. While Law for all his grumbling and exhaustion honestly didn't mind Luffy all that much.

"Straw hat-ya" Law scolded as the young man started glancing around the room.

"Shishishi, sorry Torao" his face stilled and Law continued on. With Luffy it was best to get what he was doing done quickly.

"Soooo" Law's eyes flickered sideways into Luffy's, while holding his face and leaning in to stitch they were fairly close.

"Hm?" he hummed. He'd prefer Luffy not talk while he was stitching the guy's face. But this was Luffy he was working on, so long as he didn't do his normal overly large grin Law could manage.

"This is my tenth visit with you" tenth time good god, was Luffy trying to get himself killed?!

"Unfortunately we don't have any form of frequent flier miles for discounts" he said sarcastically. Twenty five visits to the hospital including the times Luffy's been there with Ace and Sabo. Luffy himself had been stitched up ten times. Law was certainly not keeping count of how many times Luffy had visited him.

"Shishishi"

"Quit laughing, do you want a scar?" Luffy tilted his face thinking on it causing Law to make a noise of protest "stay still!"

Law nearly huffed in exasperation. The head tilt had caused his stitching to go off and now he'd need to redo it. Never-mind that he was currently poking additional holes into Luffy's face, no, what mattered was that this was his work. He would not allow something he'd done be anything but perfect. That and it be a shame for Luffy's more then attractive face to scar... why did he think that?! Right, he was getting far too distracted. Law blamed the fact that he was right next to Luffy's face with his hands in the perfect place for... he needed to stop!

"Torao" Law made a noise in his throat trying to get his thoughts back on track. His mind moved into automatic doctor mode. Stitch, prevent Luffy from moving, repeat, no other thoughts to mess around with.

"Torao"

Stitch, stop Luffy from moving again. Why was he leaning his head forward? Stitch, re-correct Luffy.

Law's hands hit resistance when his latest attempt to turn Luffy's head and bright brown eyes back into place failed. Instead of allowing Law to move him Luffy turned full out and pushed forward so their faces were inches apart.

Then Luffy kissed him.

Soft and testing warm lips brushed his and Law's auto-piloted brain reacted with a 'finally'.

He kissed back.

His hands dropped the needle with the thread still attached to Luffy's face. He gripped Luffy's face pulling him and his lips in deeper. Luffy's arms wrapped around his neck as Law's traveled into raven hair gripping gingerly. Luffy's mouth opened and as if they'd done it a thousand times Law's tongue slipped in. Luffy's resulting moan almost undid him.

Then Law's cheek brushed against Luffy's and he felt the barest hint of the stitches he'd yet to finish. Involuntarily Luffy twitched at the contact, Law's eyes snapped open and he pulled away worried.

Panting Luffy gave his best cheeky grin which pulled further at the stitches threatening to come lose.

"So, do you think it'll scar?" the adorable idiot asked.

Luffy has been crushing on Law for quite a long but not hard enough to purposely stab himself in the face (unlike with Shanks) it was a happy accident he took advantage of.
