Law x Nami
'May we intertwine our past, present and future as one letting them only see the front we hold, our darkness blending into one another revealing our harmony'
A white elegant mask, the twists and swirls in design came together to form a skull with the bottom jaw missing, Law looked at it before turning to Penguin and Shachi who had just handed it to him.
"And what is this?"he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Its a masked ball, of course you have to wear a mask"Penguin said looking around the room, his own face dawned with a simple white face.
"No exception for you"Shachi replied smiling, his mask similar to Penguin's.
Letting out a sigh, Law placed the delicate mask upon his face. It was uncomfortable for second before the mask became one with him, it was as he was wearing nothing but the smiles of his friends reminded there was something there. His eyes left the two and he scanned the room, letting out a sigh as he put his hands into the pockets of his suit, Law didnt want to be here, he was happy with staying at home watching simple tv with Bepo who had come down with a cold but Penguin and Shachi reminded him, that as a well known Surgeon of the town, he had to attend this ball hosted by the mayor.
"Smile, be merry Law this is going to be a great evening"Penguin said nudging his friend.
"Maybe a few women"Shachi grinned.
Both men chuckled as Law glared at them, removing his hands out of his pockets, the surgeon gave them both a dark glare before he stormed away from them. Their laughter ringing in his ear as he was no longer around them, yes he was a great surgeon maybe the best the city had except for an upcoming young boy called Chopper who showed a lot of promise. It made a small smile appeared thinking of the small child, the young boy would always come over to his office after school and ask him questions. When it hit seven, the young boy would be picked up by a man with the strangest hair, green hair with a scar running down one eye that remained shut, it made him want to ask questions but Law was a guy who didnt want to be pry into people's backgrounds.
He had told Chopper that his father could come up instead waiting in the lobby for him, the young boy had told him that the man wasnt his father nor the women he called mother but he looked up to them as his mother and father for they were his family, Law had learnt that day Chopper was adopted by a group of friends well the mother had adopted while it was her friends chose to be apart of his family.
Thinking about the green haired man, he swore he had seen a masked guy with similar hair.
"No way he would come to something like this"He muttered to himself.
His amber eyes scanning the room, looking for something as if a force was compelling him but Law himself was not sure what it was he was looking for.
'Lose yourself in the music and it will come to you'
That was something his father would say, well his adopted father, another reason he liked Chopper was he understood not knowing his real parents. The man was loon at best and came out with the oddest things but those quotes got him through life with a smile. Clenching his fists, Law looked down as anger surged through his body, the man was so kind and gave a lot but his life was taken so quick and didnt deserve it. Street gangs thinking they were big shots, taking people's lifes with no remorse, Law didnt blink an eye lid at them till he had turned up to his father little shop, police scattered all around. Tap all up and people whispering, he had been led by an unknown force as he ducked under the tap, ignoring all the shouting as he entered the shop to find his beloved father pinned to the wall by skipping ropes, large gashes on his body and blood just everywhere.
He couldnt remember what had happened after but found himself in the arms of his uncle's arms, his cheeks wet.
'Darkness is something we cant simple ignore, but never let it consume you'
A boy's warm smile had been broken that day and never found again, Law became dark, hateful and loathe the world, not listening to his father's words and letting it consume his being.
Said man had been shaken out of his dark thoughts when he collided into someone, Law felt something soak through his shirt and frowned, looking down he noticed a women with bright long luscious locks cascading down her back. Her dress was black with a nice dark hue of green revealing elegantly yet dark beautiful designs, in her hands were two glasses, now empty and currently sitting on his shirt. Her mask was simple yet divine, it was white just like his and had a similar design with the twists but it brought out her bewitching light brown eyes.
"Im so sorry"she muttered looking at his shirt with a frown.
It was as if an unknown force, pull him out fo his body and slammed it back in.
With his long elegant fingers, he took her glass and manged to place it onto a servants tray while pulling her up in a graceful sweep, there eyes locking onto one another as if staring into one another soul.
He didnt know what was going on with his body, it was as if he was possessed by something, Law was leading her to the circle of people who were dancing to some tune down by the string quartet. It surprised him, that she was letting him do this, no words had been spoken between them yet he found her hand now became intertwined with his as another found its way onto his shoulder. Law found himself wrapping an arm around her waist, bringing her closer to his body, their chests now touching one another as their personal spaces had just become one. People were now clapping as the song had just ended but another would soon replace it, the conductor look at his merry men of musicians and nodded, soon they began to start the next song.
Amber eyes locking onto Light brown eyes, the guitars slowly starting followed by the piano in a calm beat, he took a step forward and she a step back. Their feet following the beat of the guitars in a small circle.
'Lose yourself in the music and it will come to you'
'Darkness is something we cant simply ignore, but never let it consume you'
The darkness clawed at him from himself, wanting to be released within this room, looking down at her. Those beautiful light brown eyes of hers mirrored the same expression he had upon his face and it made the beast within him, scream to be released.
"Darkness is something we cant simply ignore, but never let it consume you"she whispered.
Her words had stunned him, everyone except the music and her had vanished, it only them in that white world. Letting out a small growl, said white world was now turning black with each step of theirs, no longer he felt to hold back the darkness that swelled within him.
Suddenly the violins screeched around the room, Law had spun her out before bringing her back into a tight hold.A dark smirk came across his face as he heard her gasp, Law felt her fingers dig into his skin and it sent a shiver down his spine as his amber eyes glazed over.
Their steps becoming quicker and they moved around to the beat, slowly they were drawing the eyes of the other dancers and soon one by one, a couple would leave the area and soon a circle had been made around them however they would of never noticed as the pair were absored with one another, their darkness melding them together as one.
Law felt as if his darkness was being fed off him to her as he was taking whatever darkness had over her, it was like they belonged together, moulded to shape of one another and it made the want, the need of consuming her to him so much greater than anything. Spinning her around so her back now touched his chest, Law ran his hands down her sides as she circled her arms around his neck, his mouth a breath away from her ear.
"Your so divine, the darkness you consume is beautiful"he whispered in a hush yet dark tone.
She pushed herself from him and took hurried steps away from him, Law thought for a second he had done something wrong but she turned around, her dress sweeping so elegant as she raised her arms above her head. This was the first time he had a whole view of her and he was amazed, she was stunningly beautiful like a goddess but what made her more of the goddess to him was the darkness circling her, like a lost child clinging to its mother. It made his darkness reach out and want to pull her into him, their pasts defining who they were truly. Standing tall, he rolled his head and he moved slowly to her, taking her raised hands into his again and bringing her into him as they carried on with the dance of darkness.
"Maybe we should of listened to Law"Penguin moaned as he was sat down on a chair.
Shachi nodded as after their friend left them, they had tried to mingle with everyone else but no one really wanted to give them any time so they were currently sat by the buffet table, a few thought they were servants which Penguin had to hold back Shachi from going on a killing spree.
"Alfred, you must come, you have to see the pair. Amazingly breath taking"
Penguin and Shachi looked at each other then to the women trying to pull a man away from the table, this wasnt the first time they had heard something similar so with a nod they got up and followed after the pair, taking them to the circle of people. Raised eyebrows as they pushed through people but with no luck however Shachi pointed to the balcony and Penguin nodded, with hurried footsteps they made it up the stairs in no time and found the perfect view.
But what they saw, had their jaws hanging.
"Isnt that..."Penguin said rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
"Yeah that is defiantly Law"Shachi replied.
Law twirled her around slowly, his eyes never leaving her, roaming her body as if he was a sailor looking at a map promising treasure beyond any man's wildest dream. Her hands upon his body only brought on the hottest and steamiest imagines in his mind, bringing out his animal urges thus the darkness grew deeper and dark. Not noticing the huge crowd gathered around them, there eyes stuck of the pair dancing so beautifully with so much passion before them.
The conductor was swinging his arms, losing himself into the music, getting ready to bring it to an amazing and spectacular finish.
Drums and violins speeding up and producing a deft defining sound that echoed around the room and Law took larger steps with her, moving around the space they had in a quicker tempo, a chorus of voices entering the fray with the sound becoming powerful he felt his breathing becoming deeper as his amber eyes locked onto her light brown eyes. Knowing that it was soon coming to an end, Law gave her one more twirl before the last strike of the violins echoed around the room.
In a graceful and simply divine move, he had take one of her legs and rested in upon his hip as Law had dipped her down, taking in scent the last time as he raised himself up.
Their eyes never leaving one another.
It was silence that echoed before the pair were brought back to the room as the audience they had started to clap, shouting out praises. Law was wide eye as he let go of her, he didnt remember having said audience with them, looking at her with a grin releasing she had the same reaction.
Both of them bowed to the people and soon enough people came up to them, telling them how amazed they were and where did they learn to do such things. Law hadnt released that with the crowd upon them, he had lost the grip of her hand and she was now lost among the sea of people suddenly he was turned around to find Shachi and Penguin looking at him with big smiles on his face.
"Where the heck did you learn all of that, I swear you told us you had two left feet"Penguin said with Shachi.
Law said something but neither of the two heard him but they could see they did not have his attention for their friend was scanning the room.
"What?"Shachi asked.
It took three attempts before they understood him.
"I have to find her"Law muttered as he pulled away from his friends.
They followed him keeping an eye out till they had found themselves leaving the ballroom and onto the balcony over looking the garden, Law felt lost like a piece of him had been ripped out, clutching the rail his knuckles went ghost white before turning to his friends with a frown. They looked at him with frown's not knowing what to say, Penguin took a step forward, he had no idea what to do but it been forever since he had seen Law that so happy suddenly Shachi began jumping up and down with a smile as he pointed down at something within the garden, both him and Law looked down to were their friend was pointing only to see those orange locks flowing in the wind.
"There she is"Penguin shouted in joy, jumping up and down with Shachi.
There down in the garden were a bunch of people including her moving quickly to the exit, a few of them he could see were talking to her with smiles and funny enough the guy with green hair was among the people he had spotted earlier.
Law wanted to call out but he found he had no voice but he had to thank his friends for being so loud, she had stopped moving and had turned around to look up at the noise.
Once again their eyes met for a final time, amber soaking in light brown.
She lifted her hand up and waved at him giving him a soft yet warm smile before one of the people took her arm and moved her along.
It had been a long time but Law returned her smile with his own, a smile he had thought he had lost the day his father was murdered.
"Law.."Penguin started.
Still staring out into the garden, he looked up to the stars placing his hands behind his head with a devilish smirk across his face.
"I will track you down no matter what My precious Queen"
