Stepping outside the hospital my nose gets assaulted by the harsh cold winter air. I bury my nose into my long black winter jacket to soften the harsh wind. I make my way through the park that is directly in front of the hospital and begin to make my way towards my apartment building that is precisely three blocks away.

"Ungh." I gasp as something hits me fast and hard. I'm out of breath and currently on the cold hard ground. I start gasping at an attempt to get fresh air to start flowing normally through my lungs. My eyes snap open when I feel someone's weight getting of of me. The sun is blinding at first, I blink a few times to get my eyes adjusted. The first thing I see is the top of a straw hat.

"Sorry, sorry. Are you okay?" I hear the straw hat wearing person ask. His voice sounds pretty childish.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You should watch where you are going kid." I say as calmly as I can. Which is hard when you get the air knocked out of you by a stranger.

"Yeah, I know. I'm really sorry about that. I was just in a hurry." He rambles on, while sticking his hand out to help me up.

"Thanks." I say as I take his extended hand. As he is helping me up we make eye contact. He has the biggest most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, they are brown, like almonds. For a second his eyes seem really sad but just like that the sadness completely vanishes. Then I notice the scar right below his left eye. By the looks of it it's old.

"By the way I'm not a kid anymore." He says a little annoyed. "My name is Monkey D. Luffy, nice to meet you." He smiles. I swear his smile can reach his ears. It's huge. And really nice and bright.

"You sure look like one." I tease him, he pouts. "Trafalgar Law, nice to meet you, too." I reply with a smirk, he then seems to look a bit flustered.

"Well I'm not. I'm nineteen." He says as he averts his eyes, his eyes then trail down to my tattooed hand. "I like your ink." He mumbles. I lift my hand so he get a better look at them.

"Really?" I ask as I furrow eyebrows together why would anyone like my D-E-A-T-H tattoos. "I did them myself." I watch him as he looks at them intently and then nods.

"Yeah, they suite you." He says and suddenly he tilts his head to the right and furrows his eyebrows together his smile drops it's like he suddenly remembered something important he needed to do. "Shit" he mumbles. "So uhm, see you around maybe I really have to go now." He says with a hint of panic on his voice. His eyes looked alarmed and sad.

"Yeah see you around," I reply and just like that he is off.

I watch him for a minute or two before I continued with my walk to the apartment.

One thing is for certain I can't seem to get Luffy off of my head. What I don't understand is why his eyes looked so sad. He is definitely one mysterious young man.

The next time I see Luffy, he is leaving Shakky's rip off bar with this big buff guy with red spiky hair, wearing goggles that seem to be keeping his hair off of his eyes. He is wearing a fluffy red feathered coat and black leather pants his lips are painted black and so are his nails.

Luffy's eyes meet mine and they seem pained. He looks tired and annoyed. Nothing like the kid I met a few days ago. He looks a bit older. Like being near the redhead stresses him out.

The redhead seemed to have noticed that we had made eye contact because he pulled Luffy closer to himself. Luffy lets out a gasp from the tighter grip around his waist, which successfully broke our eye contact. Luffy just looks down at his feet as they walk out. Avoiding to look at me again.

"Why were you looking at him like that?" I faintly heard the redhead ask Luffy he sounded mad. They were already to far out to hear Luffy's reply.

I'm Left dumbfounded, Shachi pulls on my sleeve to get me to walk. What was Luffy doing with that guy? Are they friends? Lovers? What was with that look? He was practically shouting for me to save him? But save him from what? From that redhead? What for?

Shachi hands me a beer bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asks looking at me a little concerned.

"What?" I ask not understanding at first. Then it hits me I probably zoned out there for a min. "Yea I'm fine."

"Okay, good. What was that all about?" He asks referring to Luffy.

"I don't even know myself." I reply.

"Do you know them?" Shachi asks.

"Well not really only the smaller one, he ran into me at the park." I tell him.

"Oh," he replies.

"Hey Law." I look up to see Luffy making his way towards me.

"Oh, hey there Luffy-ya." I reply. He looks better than he did when I saw him at the bar last week.

"So how have you been?" Luffy asks with a wide smile on his face.

"I have been good." I reply "and how have you been?"

His smile doesn't falter one bit but his eyes flicker sadness for a second as he replies. "Good, good fantastic." he looks down. God he is a terrible liar. I can Already tell even though this is our third encounter.

I place two fingers underneath his chin and redirect his face towards me. I lean in towards his ear and whisper "you're a terrible liar."

He freezes and just stares at me. Luffy doesn't seem to know what to say or do.

"I-I-I w-wa-wasn't..." Luffy stutters, looking really flustered.

I raise an eyebrow at him he squirms under my gaze. Luffy doesn't say anything. I look at the watch around my wrist and it's already 8:40 I have to be at the hospital at 9:00. Some weeks I'll work the night shift and other weeks the day shift.

"Anyway, I have to get to work now. See you around Luffy." I continue walking in the direction I was heading to.

I don't turn around but I can still feel Luffy's gaze on me.

A/N: I really don't know where I'm going with this completely yet. Leave reviews give me idea's or tell me I such at this. It doesn't matter constructed criticism tell me my mistakes and let me fix them.
