Of Thoughts And Emotions

Law leaned on the railings of the Thousand Sunny, deep in his don't know what to think of Straw Hat now that he had been sailing with them from Punk Hazard to Dressrosa and now they were going Zou. Surely, 2 years ago, the first impression that the teen made him think that the other was crazy, reckless but a little bit serious and does know the consequences of his doing. But what he was seeing right now was a kid. A kid with a straw hat. Where did that pirate from 2 years ago had gone and let a kid with same face as the pirate replace him? The crew acts like every thing was as common and very much every day life for them.

Thinking of the previous days sure had him an headache. Straw Hat never really listened to him and his plans. When ever he brought them up, the younger captain wouldn't even listen.

But to his surprise, they got what they wanted with an extra of saving a country. It made him a tad bit of an idiot for planning. The plan went wrong any ways and Straw Hat's enigmaty, if there's such a word, sure saved him and the alliance goal from failing. He lost but the other saved him.

The other didn't question him for reason why he was holding a not-so-inkling grudge against Doflamingo but he told the other any ways. Not that he knew why he did that himself.

Law shook his head before walking away from the railings. It was unusually silent today but finally he gets he rest. A day of Straw Hat craziness and noisiness-free rest. His black shades under his eyes have gone worst than in could have been.

''Off to rest, Trafalguy-san?''

Law's attention turned to the long dark haired archaeologist of the ship who has been reading a book sitting on the chair on the deck. ''Yes.'' he said.

''You should use the captain's. There's a bed there and Luffy never uses it any way.'' she said. ''As you know, he bunks with everyone.''
''I'll take that offer this time.'' Law said. Sure
the crew offered it to be used by him when he got on their ship the first time. He never used it as for he decided to be on guard always and stay outside. After all, it was Doflamingo who was after them that time. ''Where's Straw Hat-ya?'' And where did that question came from? And before the historian could even ask why he was looking for her captain he quickly supplied, ''It's unusually quiet.''

She, then, giggled. ''Since he got no one to play with, he's probably at the figure head. It's his special seat.''

Law raised a brow before nodding. She returned to read her book while he decided to check the other before sleeping his head's off.

And just like what the woman said. Her captain's there. He was staring at the sea. He turned to Law. ''Oh hey, Torao!'' Law twitched at the nickname. ''It's Trafalgar.'' he said as he leaned at one the petal-like mane.

''Torao sounds fine to me.'' Luffy said.

''It doesn't.'' Law said.

''Your name's fault for being complicated.'' Luffy said. ''You're not going to sleep?''

''I was going to. After I saw you here I guess.'' Law raised a brow at Luffy. ''You're not actually pestering me to play with you?''

''Nope.''

Law looked at the sky if heaven accidentally dropped something on the younger captain's head. Well, the heaven wasn't open.

''Who are you and happened to Straw Hat-ya?'' he said to the straw hat wearer who blinked before laughing, light pink blush decorated his face.

''You're funny, Torao.'' Luffy, with a grin, said. ''I'm Luffy. The man who's going to be the Pirate King!''

Law could feel his blood rise. His cheeks were slightly pink which he covered by pulling his hat down to his face.

''I'm going to sleep.'' he said as he walked away from the young captain who yelled, ''Good Night!''

Robin was slightly amused and said, ''Even Luffy has his own moments.''

Law grunted and went to the Captain's lodge.

As he sleep, memories of Luffy came up showing in his mind like a movie.
... When Luffy punches the Tenryubito
... When Luffy wakes up after the war
... When Luffy calls out to him at Punk Hazard
... When Luffy accepts the alliance
... When Luffy actually puts his arm around him when they talked something with the crew
... When Luffy calls him ''Law'' for the first time
... When Luffy desperately tries to free him
... When Luffy fights with Doflamingo...
And finally when Luffy laughs at him, blushing.

He opened his eyes and immediately sat up from the mattress. 'Why am I dreaming about Straw Hat-ya?'

On that cue, the door of the room opened and revealed person he was just thinking about. ''Torao, you're awake! Sanji said dinner's ready!''

''I'm coming.'' Law said and saw the other skipping happily towards the galley. Cute... Law's eyes widened as he realized what he just thought.Why did I... Shaking the thought off, he stood up and grabbed his hat and nodachi along the way before heading towards the Galley.

I just typed this last night while trying to sleep. I don't have expertise when it comes to romance. And I don't know if I am going to update this. This idea was born from a sleepless night with authoress begging to sleep but still couldn't. Still thought to post this though. I do not know if its a one shot!

EDIT! 7-11-15

THIS WILL BE A STAND ALONE CHAPTER.
