Of Worlds
"You know a lot of people, but keep very few." Luffy leans back against Law's chest and makes himself comfortable between long, slender legs as the older captain shifts his book from one hand to the other so he can keep reading, "Maybe you should stop cramping yourself in your little world, Torao."
Luffy looks up at the tree they're under and makes a curious noise.
"Not everyone can stand being in a big world with a chance of assholes here and there." Law shrugs, one of his hands turning the page, "So I'm keeping my little world, thank you."
"Well," Luffy says looking down, suddenly becoming interested in the fallen leaves around where they are sitting. He becomes distracted for a bit and Law doesn't fail to notice when the boy starts picking them up and putting them on his belly, "I'm not nice because I'm a pirate, you know. And I usually fuck things up. And you hate how I sometimes, often, okay, maybe almost never follow plans and shit."
Luffy finds a patch of soil without any grass and he immediately zones in on that, reaching out so he can draw spirals on it using his finger. Law immediately swats his hand away. "Hey. No." The younger pirate chuckles.
"There are things I do that piss you off, yeah?" He says, wiping his finger against Law's spotted pants and he hears the surgeon grunt but say nothing else, "But I'm in your little world."
Luffy pauses, adding more leaves from the ground and onto the small pile on his belly before he tips his head back to look at Law and adding, "Aren't I?"
"You're leaning on my chest while playing with god damn dead fucking germ-infested leaves whilehaving a conversation with me when I'm clearly trying to read." Law sighs, "Take a guess, Strawhat-ya."
And that's when the boy grins widely. Brightly. That one grin he only wears when Law says something mushy, which is odd because there's nothing mushy with what he said. There's rarely anything mushy with what Law says. Strawhat's imagination was something he had given up on understanding sometime ago.
"So. So I'm like. Like." He excitedly pushes against Law as if there's any more space between them, "Like your world's One Piece, then, aren't I?"
See? How did he even come up with that?
"Shut up, you corny piece of–"
Luffy closes his eyes, leaning further up and that's all it takes for Law to stop mid-sentence and just peck a kiss on his lips.
"Yep." the young captain smiles triumphantly as he reaches to play with Law's hair, "I am."
The Hearts captain opens his mouth to say something, retaliate or whatever because he's wittier than Strawhat, obviously, until he realizes he's dropped the book on the grass for some reason. He smirks. Resistance is futile. Against Luffy at least.
