Summary:
After a tough childhood with an abusive foster parent, Monkey D. Luffy only wanted to do things that he could enjoy to the fullest. If he felt like doing something, he would. He would never look back. He would never regret anything. If he did a mistake or something bad happened, he would shake it off and do something fun instead. There was only one thing he hadn't done, or to be completely honest, it never entered his mind. He had never fallen in love. He liked his foster brothers and his friends. But never felt the sexual attraction the others talked about. But after a night of excitement that ended in the ER, he met the person that would change his life forever.
Chapter 1.
"Are we seriously doing this?", Roronoa Zoro said while looking down from the bridge they were standing on.
Monkey D. Luffy looked at his best friend and gave him the biggest smile he could manage.
"Don't be stupid, Zoro. Remember - no regrets until we are dead and buried. Shishishishi."
"You say that, but even if we survive this – your brothers will kill us when they hear of this."
"You worry too much; they will only find out about this if someone tells them about it. So relax, and enjoy it. Now! Let's challenge fate."
He took the older boys hand, jumped onto the railing and pulled. And they started to fall.
"I FUCKING HATE YOU!" Zoro roared while Luffy gave a pure sound of enjoyment.
He saw how they got closer and closer to the ground beneath them and he could feel a chill down his spine of excitement. He wasn't suicidal. He wasn't crazy. He just had decided that he would live life to the fullest. Risk his own life to feel alive. His biggest fear was to be contained and not be free to live his live on his own terms. How insane they happened to be.
He could feel the ropes pull him back and bounced a couple times while laughing non-stop. He could check bungee-jumping of his long list of adventures. Or at least from a bridge.
"Can we do it again?" He giggled his trademark laugh and looked down at the ground where all their friends stood. Some of them had their phones up to film the occasion (mainly Usopp and Chopper), some could finally breathe out their anxiety (Nami and Jinbei) and the rest of them (Nico Robin, Franky, Brook and Sanji) only smiled at them while they were …
"Seriously, can we do that again? This time from a building or a waterfall or maybe an airplane – that would be awesome!"
"Luffy, maybe we could do that next week? I'm glad you liked it, but now we really want to celebrate your birthday without risking our lives, at least for the rest of the day." Robin smiled and the other (especially Zoro) nodded as an agreement.
"Okay! Let's go to the party! And tomorrow – me and Sanji will jump from a building! Shishishishi."
"What the – why me?!" Sanji looked at him a little pale.
"Are you chickening out, curly brow? Are you not brave enough to bungee-jump?" snorted Zoro and got almost kicked as an answer.
"No fighting on Luffy's birthday or you will get the honor to pay the bill" Nami growled and pointed at Luffy and the now in sight restaurant.
"That's not fair, Nami-schwan, we agreed to share Luffy's meal cost as a group.
"Then behave, or go fuck in a closet to calm down."
"WHAT THE FUCK NAMI!"
"WHAT THE FUCK NAMI-SCHWAN!"
"5 bucks that they do it before dessert" whispered Usopp.
"10 – before the main course." giggled Chopper.
"Put me up for 10 bucks on midnight. Yohohoho!" chortled Brook and the others laughed.
"Can you stop with the fucking bet-pool again, nothing's going to happen between me and that fucking marimo –head."
"I wouldn't touch you with a ten-feet pole, shitty cook."
Both of them glared at each other and took a step closer to start fighting.
"It's decided! Zoro and Sanji pays the bill, thank guys." decided Nami and followed the excited Luffy inside the restaurant.
…
The party was in full swing when Luffy's brothers Sabo and Ace entered. They walked right over to Luffy's side and only stared at him for a couple seconds before both of them shoved Luffy so he fell out of his chair.
"What the –" Luffy started to say.
"Bungee-jumping." Sabo said quietly.
"For your nineteenth birthday you choose to do bungee-jumping." Continued Ace.
"What do you have planned for your twentieth? Swimming with sharks?" scoffed Sabo and shook his head.
"Don't be silly, Sabo… I swam with sharks two months ago – "
Sabo punched him. Ace snorted a laugh and shook his head. The others laughed and cheered with their glasses raised.
"Let's cheer for our beloved idiot!" Usopp snickered and the other's cried "Kampai!".
Ace and Sabo sat down at the table and grabbed the closest edibles without hesitation. Luffy giggled and stole some food from Zoro's plate. Zoro didn't noticed and continued drinking his booze.
"And Chopper, next time – don't publish the video on Facebook if you don't want us to see Luffy risking his fucking neck."
Chopper blushed deeply. He mumbled something that made Usopp laugh.
"So what are your plans for tonight?" asked Ace between mouthfuls of food.
"We are going to the nightclub Silver & Gold and probably drink the night away." Answered Robin and the others roared "Kampai!" again. Brook started to sing and the others join in. The other people in the restaurant didn't seemed to mind the noise and soon joined in the fun.
…
"Luffy?"
He felt a chill done his spine, almost like when had jumped from the bridge, but this time it was because he was uncomfortable. He looked over his shoulder and saw a tall, extremely beautiful woman walking with the swish of her hips towards him and a (probably) sexy smile on her lips. Boa Hancock. Her long hair framed her striking features and she pouted her lips when she threw her arms around his neck. Damn. She pressed her body against his and then stared into his eyes.
"Happy Birthday, Baby! You look good enough to eat. And I would like to. All. Night. Long." She pressed her lips against his cheekbone and purred (probably) sexily into his ear.
"Hancock. Haven't I told you to let it go already. I will not sleep with you. So please, back off." He said, suddenly different from his usually happy and childish manner. He stared her down with his dark eye until she released him from her embrace.
"Please don't be like that, baby. I only wanted to show my love for you."
"And I have told you, Hancock, that I'm not interested." He said with steel in his voice that made him older than his age. He waited for her to dejectedly nod before he turned on his heel and walked away.
He could feel it, the need to do something to cheer him up. He walked through the masses of party people to look for his friends. He could feel the familiar itch on his neck and knew that he would to something not-fun if he didn't found them within five minutes.
"Yohohoho!"
Luffy's head turned like a whip towards the sound and walked straight over to them.
"Luffy! Happy Birthday!" shouted Usopp, Chopper and Franky in chorus.
"It's time to leave."
The atmosphere changed immediately and his friends rose as one. Luffy turned and they followed him outside of the club.
"So, what's the plan, Captain?" Zoro asked without mirth. The use of Luffy's nickname to show respect of what his friend was going through. Luffy stared at them with his dark eyes and then lifted his hat from his back onto his head.
"Let's do something crazy."
…
Trafalgar Law took another sip of coffee and stared empty into space. He was bored. Bored from work, despite working in the ER. Bored, because he hadn't been able to meet his friends for three damned weeks. Bored, because he hadn't even jerked off in like… forever. He couldn't even remember. Law sighed loudly and cracked his neck a little bit before standing and washing his cup. He smirked while he read the hand painted words that his friends had thought was fitting when he graduated from med-school. "Surgeon of Death". He gave a small sound that could have been a cough, but only his friends knew – it was a laugh. All of his exes had dumped him because he could show any feelings apart of 'bored'. Not that Law had minded, he hadn't really been in love with any of them. But it hade still hurt. He knew he looked morbid. And his tattoos didn't help anything. Instead they made him look even more like a murderous hitman or something. His exes had been drawn to him because he looked dangerous and adventurous. Wanted him to be into BDSM and be really kinky in the bedroom. But instead they got the real Law, who was pretty vanilla and looked bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored. Law hated the word. He wasn't boring, they only wanted him to be someone who he wasn't. He didn't want to force himself on them and spank them before he fucked them until they couldn't walk… he wanted to... Law swore and shook his head and exited the room.
"Dr. Trafalgar, you have a patient in room six with a probable appendicitis, in room seven the patient has fibrillation and are on surveillance, in room eight the patient has been bitten by a venomous snake – probably an adder, and in room nine" the nurse chuckled "a possible bone fracture."
Law stared questioning at the nurse. She blushed.
"Nurse, what is so funny with a bone fracture?" Law growled at her.
"I didn't mean anything disrespectful, it's just that the patient in room nine have a… unique bedside companion."
"Well, it doesn't sound life threatening, so I will handle that after the other rooms."
When Law walked in the opposite way of the nurse he could hear her giggle like a little school girl. What the hell was up with the people in room nine.
…
"The nurse seemed to like you, birthday boy." Nami smiled and looked at the boy next to her.
"Nami, it's after midnight – It's not my birthday anymore. Please focus on why we're here." Luffy sighed and sank further down into the uncomfortable chair.
"I am focusing what's important you fucking idiot, she liked you, probably thought you were hot."
Luffy glared at her. When he said that they should do something crazy, he didn't think he would end up taking Nami to the ER with a broken arm.
"Did you like her? Was she more to your liking than that creepy bitch Hancock?" Nami gave a shudder, she had never liked the woman after stealing her first college boyfriend.
"Anyone would be better, and you know it. And no, she wasn't my type."
"Huh… I didn't know you even had a type."
"Well, I don't. That's how I know she isn't it"
Nami laughed loudly and Luffy couldn't help to join in. They were probably high on life after their escapades.
"I'm really sorry for getting you hurt, it's all my fault."
"Was it? Did you perhaps pushed me when I wasn't looking?"
"No… I had already jumped and was waiting on the ground below"
"Well, then you could at least have caught me to break my fall."
"True. I will do that next time."
"Like I would jump of a building in only a security line and an umbrella again. How did you even think of something like that?"
"It was my favorite episode of Gilmore Girls, give me a break. It was awesome. Epic!"
"Yeah, it kind of were. At least you look totally fuckable in that suit and tie. I almost want do you myself."
"Nami, that's gross. You're like my sister. Or my minion."
"Do I look like a yellow blob to you, seriously?"
"Of course not, you're a redhead. And wearing a ball gown."
"I will punch you if you keep talking."
"See, redhead."
Nami kept her word and punched him.
"Happy?"
"Oh, you have no idea. Almost as satisfying as when the idiot-couple-who-isn't-together payed for dinner."
"Yeah, that was funny."
The door suddenly opened and a tall dark haired man with dark circles under his eyes entered. He looked them over, and then checked the chart in his hand. He walked over to the only empty chair left in the room and sat down like he hadn't gotten any rest for days.
"So, miss Nami, can you tell me what happened, how great your pain is and then I will examine you."
"Who are you?" asked Luffy and glared at him.
"I'm Dr. Trafalgar Law and you're not Nami."
"I'm Luffy, nice to meet you Doctor Tra-… Traflo-… Torao." And smiled happily at the man when he was satisfied of the pronunciation.
"No, Dr. Trafalgar."
"That's what I said. Dr. Torao." He said again and smiled happily.
"Doctor, I promise you, it's not even worth trying to change his mind. Just accept it." Nami explained apologetic.
While the doctor asked questions and examined her, Luffy couldn't stop staring at the man. It was something with how the man moved that enchanted him. And the small peeks of more of the man's tattoos made Luffy uncomfortably warm. And when the man stood and walked towards the door, Luffy almost stopped him. He stared at the door a couple seconds to long before turning back to Nami. Who was staring at him with astonishment.
"Oh my god… you checked him out."
"What, pftt… no I didn't."
"Yes, you freaking did. I saw it with my own eyes. He's your type."
Luffy stared at her. His face creased of confusion.
"This is amazing! Luffy! You're becoming a full-fledged man!"
"Just because he made me hot?"
Nami's chin hit the floor. He didn't say anything and leaned back on the bed. She then fished her phone with her healthy arm and punch a couple time before she put it by her ear.
"Robin? Hi, you need to hear - … yes, yes, I'm fine. I'll be fine. So shut up and listen. Luffy found his type. The birthday boy told me someone made him, and I quote, 'hot'!"
Luffy heard the screams and loud questioning that erupted from the device. He rolled his eyes.
"Oh, it's my doctor… tall, dark haired, looked dark and brooding, a lot of tattoos… yes, tattoos! He looked kind of sleep-deprived to… yeah, I would say he was handsome… Usopp, what the fuck! Do you seriously want me to ask him that?... okay, okay… wait a moment."
Nami smiled her most devious smile and Luffy cringed.
"Luffy, did anything more happened beside getting hot because of him?"
Luffy only stared at her.
"Like did something in your… neither parts… hrm… any reaction?"
"Do you mean like a fucking boner?" suddenly said all serious and Nami recognized the look in his eyes. 'Don't fuck with me, you can't handle it' was what they said. Nami could only nod. Luffy sighed and reached for the phone. Nami gave it to him without hesitation.
"Sooooo, you want to know if I got a boner?... do you really think I would get something like that by watching a fully dressed man who examines Nami because she broke her arm?... yes, he made me hot… yes, he was 'sexy'… yes, I want to see more of his tattoos… Zoro, go fuck yourself… anymore questions?... yes, he will probably be back soon… Zoro, I changed my mind – let Sanji fuck your ass instead… okay? See ya tomorrow!"
Luffy kept his serious mode through the entire conversation, and only changed back to someone more easy going when he said goodbye. Nami relaxed. She knew he wasn't really angry at any of them, it was only a reaction to situation he couldn't fully handle.
"Everything okay now?"
"Of course not, Nami, your arm is still broken."
…
Law didn't really want to enter the exam room. There was something about the boy, Luffy, that made him nervous. He took a deep breath and knocked one time before entering. It was even more obvious that he entered at the wrong moment. Luffy was trying, and failing, to get Nami out of her ball gown. There was a lot of giggles and a couple of swear words when her arms was jostled.
"Do you need any help?" he asked before he could stop himself. Two pair of eyes found him and a second later was the room filled with laughter. Law couldn't take his eyes away from the boy. He was stunning. So full of happiness and life. The opposite of his own aura.
"Yes, doctor, please help me out of my clothes." Nami said with a sultry voice. He took a step away from the pair and the motion pushed them into another fit of laughter.
"You both know that this is a hospital right?"
"I'm sorry, we will try to keep it down, Dr. Torao."
"It's Dr. Trafalgar."
"Oh Doctor, just give up already." His patient whined and struggled with getting the dress of herself.
"Oy, Nami, don't swing your boobs in Torao's face. Have a little shame." And now the boy dropped his title. Luffy stopped assisting Nami and walked over to Law.
"Hey Torao? How many tattoos do you have?"
"I've lost count." He immediately answered and regretted it just as fast.
"Wow, that's cool. Are they all over your body?" Law felt a little bit hotter while the boy looked him over like he could see the black lines beneath his clothes.
"Yes, almost everywhere." Luffy swallowed and Law couldn't help lean a little closer to him.
"Okay, I'm changed and ready doctor." Nami's voice disturbed the little bubble that was just for them.
"Good, good… hrm… I have contacted the orthopedics and one of them will come get you as soon as possible. Until then you can wait out in the hallway."
"Okay, thank you doctor."
"No problem miss Nami, only doing my job. Now, if you excuse me." He said and started to take his leave. But were stopped by a surprisingly strong grip of a boy of that size.
"Torao, do you like to have fun?"
"Excuse me?" Law didn't know what to say, was… was he hitting on him? He could hear his patient snort.
"It's just, you look like someone that would need a little fun."
"Well… I really don't have time for 'fun', I'm a doctor and a surgeon."
"When's your next day off?"
"On Wednesday, three days from now." Why. Are. You. Answering. Law knew why.
"Great! Come to this location on Wednesday at 6 pm, and bring your friends if you want – the more the merrier!"
"What is going to happen at this location?"
Luffy gave him the biggest smile he ever seen on a human being. He didn't even know a face could do that, and he was a doctor for fucks sake. He could she Nami smile a mischievous smile.
"We're going on an adventure and risk our lives doing it!"
Luffy looked happy but serious, Law didn't get what just happened, but he would call Bepo, Shachi and Penguin as soon as his shift was over. It seemed he could say no to that face.
