"Are you done changing, Luffy?" Robin asked, standing in front of the changing room Luffy was currently in. "I'm not so sure about this, Robin. It's really tight.." Luffy replied worriedly. "It's supposed to be tight." Robin giggled as she stepped behind the curtain of the changing room Luffy was in and took a look at the clothes she gave him. He was wearing black denim hot pants, which were a bit too tight for his liking, and Robin chose a white shirt for him to wear on it. He of course left it unbuttoned as she told him to. Robin quickly rolled up the arms of the shirt and took a step back to get a better look at the raven haired boy. "Turn around for a while." Luffy did as she asked and his back was now facing her. He looked over his shoulder and saw how Robin was eying every inch of his back and he saw a smile appear on her lips as her eyes wandered down to his butt. "Perfect!" She announced, only gaining a confused look from Luffy. "I'm really not sure about this.. These pants are really tight.. and there so short, too!" he complained, but Robin only smiled. "Yes, but you asked me to help you chose clothes for the club next week and no one would be able to resist you dressed like this." "But I don't want just anyone to notice me!" he whined. "I know, Luffy, but trust me, if he has even the slightest feelings towards you, besides just friendship, than he'll have more than just a hard time not looking at you." She smiled and helped Luffy take of the way to tight pants. "Were talking about Traffy here, you know! He's even more oblivious then how I always act to be!" he pouted in disappointment. "I have a plan on how you can find out if he's interested in you. You'll need to wear these clothes and this time try not to flirt with him, but instead head over to the dance floor and dance like Nami taught you. If he gets jealous because all of the people swooning over you, you might still have a chance with him!" she encouraged Luffy and took the clothes as she left the changing room, letting Luffy put his clothes back on. When Luffy got out she had already paid for them and they were heading to the hairdressing salon he was working at. Nami's shift was about to end and he had to take her place. He had tons of appointments waiting for him, appointments that Nami could never take care of, because they weren't the normal kind of hairdressing appointments. "Have fun at work today and don't be fooled by false information, okay?" Robin asked as she handed the bag of clothing to Luffy and went off to her own job. She was working as a teacher at the Grand line High school. Luffy went in through the back entrance of the salon and put his bag and the bag Robin handed him into the locker before heading to the main salon where all the normal customers would get their haircuts. "Luffy-san! It's good that you're here early! Nami-san's getting really annoyed at the children calling her a fat walrus! She looks like she's about to hit them!" The blue haired interne, Vivi, said as Luffy was about to enter the shop. Luffy nodded and quickly went over to Nami and the five children pointing at her belly and making fun of it. "You're getting fatter and fatter every time we come!" Luffy could here them laugh. 'She's going to hit them if they keep going' Luffy thought as he jumped Nami from behind excitedly. "Nami!" he yelled and the red head shot him a look that said 'get off me or you're dead' he swiftly let go of her and greeted all the children cheeringly as he handed them all a lollypop and then turned to Nami, he bent down to her belly and pressed his face against it, a wide smile plastered on his face. "Helllllooooo!" he yelled at her belly, her cheeks turning red from anger and embarrassment. "How's my favourite little girl?" he smiled and his smile widened even more when he felt a kick against his cheek. "Luffy! Get away from me!" she yelled as she hit him on his head with all her force, leaving a huge bump on his head. "She always kicks me like crazy whenever she hears your voice!" she scolded Luffy, but his smile only widened. "So she likes me?!" he jumped at Nami and hugged her belly tightly, but not too tight to hurt the child. "You really are my favourite godchild!" she started rubbing his face against Nami's belly and was hit on his head once more. "You're appointments waiting already, so get to work! I'm going home!" she said and stormed off. Luffy pouted at her leave, he loved rubbing his face over Nami's belly, he couldn't wait for the little angel to be born already, he wanted to cuddle the child all day long, but now he had to turn his mind to his appointment. It was someone he hadn't met before and looking at his schedule she had made an appointment for the bonus haircut, which was 200$ more expensive than a normal one, but considering the 'bonus' it was really worth the money. Sometimes. The 200$ had to be paid in advance as usual and he led the woman towards his private room, which was next to his office. While passing the office he too a small glimpse inside and sighed as he saw the huge pile of paper work Nami had left for him to do.

She took of her coat and sat down in the chair placed in the middle of the room. Luffy took his belt and put it on. It had everything he needed in it. A bottle to moisture the hair a bit, about 5 different kinds of scissors and a few hair brushes. He extended her a hand to introduce himself. "Money D. Luffy. Nice to meet you!" he smiled as she took his hand and shook it lightly. "Ain." He nodded at the name and began washing her hair. "So, what would you like me to do with your hair?" Luffy asked as he started massaging the shampoo into the dark blue hair. She had amazingly soft hair and it was obvious that she took good care of it. "I want it to stay exactly the same as now. Don't go changing anything on the model either." "Okay!" Luffy said with his signature grin. He was kinda disappointed though, he was looking forward to changing her hairstyle. There were so many different hairstyles that would suit her perfectly.

As Luffy finished drying of her hair she finally spoke again. "I'm looking for a man calling himself Z." she said, but got annoyed as Luffy didn't say anything back and only continued cutting her hair. "I just asked you something." She said angrily. "No you didn't. You only stated that you were looking for some mysterious guy." He said seriously. "You know where he is right?!" she bursted out and Luffy put his scissor back into his belt and started laughing, making the woman only angrier. "Oi, you don't do this often, do you?" he aasked after he finished laughing. "How do you know?" she asked surprised. "It's quite obvious. I know what you're here for, but that's not how I work." He explained to her. "I already paid you the 200$! What else is it you want form me?!" she yelled. "An eye for an eye. If you want information from me, you'll have to tell me something interesting first." He said as he resumed cutting her hair. "I could just come up with some sort of story." She replied after a couple of minutes of silence. "You could. But I wouldn't tell you anything useful if you did." He replied coldly. "How would you know if I made it up or not?" she asked. "I know of everything going on in all of Grand line city. I know what everyone is doing and who they're involved with. I even know the address of everyone in the underworld. Even the address of those I consider enemies. And because I know everything I can easily tell if someone's making something up or not. It's really simple. I have heard of someone called Z, but if you want me to tell you anything, I want you to tell me about him. You seem to know him well and I'm interested." Luffy told her and she went silent for a couple more minutes before speaking again. "Fine.." she replied. "Z is short for Zephyr and he's my superior in the Neo-Underground investigations. He went missing a while ago after he got into a fight with Borsalino over the Dyna Stones and I've been looking for him ever since." She explained. "Dyna Stones?" Luffy asked curiously, he had never heard the name before and the mystery stones interested him slightly. Ain sighed before continuing. She didn't feel like telling some shitty informant, but she had no other choice since he was her only clue to her superior. "Their weapons of mass destruction. Zephyr-san stole them before the fight with Borsalino. They explode upon being exposed to oxygen, which results in a powerful explosion that can wipe out an entire island, in a manner similar to nuclear bombs. Due to their destructive potential, it is forbidden for the general public to be in possession of them." Luffy had finished up the haircut and handed the woman a mirror as he took a notebook out of his belt together with a pan and started scribbling something down on it. She nodded in agreement to the haircut and finally smiled for the first time entering the shop as Luffy extended her a piece of paper. She was about to take it when Luffy pulled back and stuck her tongue out at her. "You can have it if you tell me what he wants those mystery stones for!" he grinned cheekily and the woman's cheeks turned red from anger. "I already told you things that I wasn't supposed to! I can't tell you the plan!" Luffy pouted and put the piece of paper back into his pocket. "Too bad. Really though you were interested in the info I had on him…" She went silent for a while as Luffy started calculating the costs of the haircut. "He's planning on attacking the annual underground meeting to eliminate all the leaders of the underworld." She said, admitting her defeat. Luffy handed her the check and then handed her the piece of paper he had written down on earlier right after she had paid.

When she got outside she went into an alley and unfolded the paper. It said : "Grand Line grave yard. Row 216, 36th stone to the right. Died in an explosion 2 weeks ago. I can't tell you more than that. Sorry. " tears started falling from her eyes and she couldn't believe it. She immediately ran to the Grand line grave yard which was about 20 minutes from the salon. As she got to the grave number it said on the paper she collapsed in front of it. It indeed said his name and the date of death was matching to what he had written down as well. She cursed and cried and as she looked back at the paper she felt like punching the living shit out of that cheeky asshole for putting a smiley face at the end of it!

She stood up and was about to go back to the salon and beat that hairdresser up, but she was stopped by a heavy hand on her shoulder as the smell of smoke filled her nostrils. The white haired man took the note from her hand and read it. "Let go of me, Smoker! I'm going to beat that shit head to a pulp!" She yelled at the man stopping her. "It's your first time dealing with that brat right?" he grunted as he showed her the note again. "The smiley was meant for you." "What the fucks that supposed to mean?!" she shoved the hand holding her in place off of her shoulder and was about to leave when Smoker spoke again. "He's telling you to smile." As the words left Smokers mouth she froze immediately. "Why?" she managed to get out. "Just why the fuck would some shitty informant want me to smile about this?!" she bursted out. "He doesn't like making people sad with the information he gives them. I know he's a cheeky, rude and childish piece of shit, but when you get to know him he isn't all that bad." Smoker turned around and started making his leave. "He became an informant because he wanted to help people, not make them sad. So stop crying and find the piece of shit that killed him." And with that he walked off towards the Mikan.

Mikan is the name of the hairdressing salon and Luffy never really understood what Mikans had to do with hairdressing, but he didn't really care. He loved working as a hairdresser, but he didn't have any appointments right now so he was attending to anyone who would walk in. Within minutes of him standing in the salon about 10 girls came rushing in, all wanting him to do his hair, practically swooning all over him, but he just acted oblivious to all their flirting as usual. In their eyes he looked like the perfect guy. Tough because of the scar under his eye, lean, but muscular and if he believed what Nami and all the other girls said, extremely adorable. He was famous throughout the entire Grand line city, both normal and underworld. In the normal world for being the best hairdresser in the entire city and that only at the age of 19, and in the underworld he was known for the same thing, but also for being the most knowledgeable informant in the entire city.

He attended all the girls, only needing 3 hours for al 10 of them when his last appointment of the day walked in. It was someone he knew well and was never too happy to see, because he never knew if it was because he was going to try and find something to arrest him or to get information out of him, but seeing that the man didn't immediately attack as he walked in Luffy happily yelped at the grey haired man. "Smokeeyyy! I haven't seen you in ages!" the older man only grunted in annoyance and walked ahead of Luffy towards the private room. Luffy followed after him immediately and closed the door behind them. "I want to get to business kid. I don't need a haircut." He turned to Luffy and lid another two cigars in his mouth. "Business?" Luffy tilted his head and acted confused, causing Smoker to grunt. This brat was impossible, always acting oblivious to everything, even though it's clear he know's what he's talking about. "Yeah. I want you to give me the address of Firefist." Luffy again tilted his head and this time poked his cheek to add to his obliviousness. "Firefist?" "Yes!" Smoker bursted out. This brat was taking his lat bit of patience. "The lead singer of the Spades! His names Portgas D. Ace! I want his address. Now!" he demanded, but Luffy's mouth only opened into an understanding 'Oh.' Before he spoke. "I didn't know you were some kind of high class stalker, Smokey!" he said seriously. "I'm not a stalker!" Smoker yelled and Luffy fell on the ground laughing. "Wari wari! So you're a groupie?" he asked, but seeing the expression on the older's face only made him laugh harder. "Just tell me, brat!" he demanded and Luffy got off of the ground, finally calming down from his fit of laughter. "An eye for an eye, Smokey. Why do you want Ace's address?" he asked and he could swear he saw a blush creep up on the older's face, before he leaned closer to him and whispered something in his ear. Luffy immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down an address. Before handing t to Smoker he started searching his pockets for something and then finally handed the paper to Smoker, together with a pair of keys. "That's the house key. Ace should be back by now. He'll be at home around 9 o'clock tonight. But since you have my keys I won't be home tonight." He smiled with a smile that could reach his ears. He unbuckled the belt and but it back to where it was. He had already cleaned the room before Smoker came, because Smoker usually never gets a haircut. And he was about to run out of the room, but was stopped by Smokers question. "What do you mean by home? You two live together?" he asked in a mixture of surprise and shock. "Yup! Ace is my brother after all!" he smiled and ran off, leaving a baffled Smoker behind.

Meanwhilein a café

"May I help you sir?" the employee of the café asked as Ace and Law walked towards the counter. "A double espresso, please." Law said as his phone vibrated in his pocket and he took it out to read the message. "I'll take a coffee with extra sugar and cream." Ace said after Law. "Oh, and one triple caramel latte with lots of chocolate sprinkles. And add some extra sugar please." Law said as he put his phone back into his pocket. "What kind of a sugar bomb is that?" Ace asked surprised. "I got a text from Luffy-ya. He said he was on his way and wanted me to order him the usual." "Usual? Are you trying to get him even more hyper than he already is?" Ace asked jokingly, but Law ignored the question and took his espresso as the cashier handed it to him and he handed her the money for all three of the drinks. Ace took his and Luffy's drink and thy sad down on a table in the corner of the café.

After a few minutes the little bell of the door rings as a small raven haired boy comes running in and nearly tackles Ace from his chair. "Aaaaaaaaaaacccccceeeeeee! I missed you!" He cried out as he hugged his brother tightly. They were lucky that the café was rather empty, otherwise they might've had a problem if anyone found out that he was the lead singer of the Spades. "Oi, Luf, why the hell are you so wet?" Ace asked as he pushed Luffy off of him. "Oh, well, it started raining while I was running here!" he stated, pointing at the storm that was raging outside of the café. "Oh.. I didn't even notice." Ace said and handed Luffy his latte. "Here you go, Luf. Law ordered it, so I guess it should be the right one." He said. Luffy took a seat next to Law and began sipping on his latte, telling Ace all kinds of things that happened in his absence. After 10 minutes of Luffy's non-stop talking Law took of his long black jacket and put it over Luffy who only smiled at Law as a thanks. Ace noticed that Luffy was sitting extremely close to Law, but shook it off as him just being cold. He had thought about it a few times. The possibility that Luffy might like Law a bit more than just on a friendly level, but it was Luffy we were talking about here! The most innocent and oblivious 19 year old boy in all of Grand line city. Besides, Law has known Luffy ever since his birth, so there would simply be no way that Law would be interested in Luffy in that kind of way. Law had always been protective over Luffy like that. Well, it's natural because Ace and Law had been best friends since their childhood and Law took a liking to Luffy straight away. He was probably just over thinking things as usual. "Ne Ace? It's almost 9 o'clock! You should go home!" Luffy said pointing at the clock with a smile. "Why's that?" Ace asked confused. The only one who could possibly be waiting for him was sitting here with him. "I got a surprise for you at home! Now go!" Luffy said, pushing Ace out of the café, into the cold autumn night. Luffy went back in and stood next to Law.

"Nee Traffy? Can I stay over at your place tonight? I gave my key to Smokey!" Luffy asked, normally Law would've been mesmerized by the cuteness of the smaller boy in his over sized jacket, but this time was different, he was wondering just why in hell Luffy would give his house key to an officer! "Luffy-ya..?" Law started. "I'll explain tomorrow!" he said and dragged out into the cold, but first he got himself another triple caramel latte with chocolate sprinkles and extra sugar.

Luffy had given Law his jacket back, but it was a long way to Law's apartment and after 5 minutes Luffy had already started shaking from the cold. Law stopped and let out a deep sigh. "When will you learn to put on a jacket in autumn?" he asked, but Luffy only looked at him confused. He unzipped his jacket and spread his arms. "Come on. You'll freeze to death before we make it to my apartment." Luffy felt his heart skip a beat, but the blush probably couldn't be seen, because his cheeks were already red from the cold. He put his hands around Law's neck and pulled himself up, entangling his legs around Law's waist and looking him in the eyes with a huge smile on his face. "Thanks Traffy!" He said and put his head on the side of Law's shoulder so he could zip the jacket up as far as possible, causing Luffy to have to press his body against Law's even more. They walked for a few minutes until Law broke the silence. "I walked by the salon today. You should really try being less oblivious. There were some cute girls swooning all over you." He told Luffy, but Luffy only smiled bitterly. "I know. But I'm already interested in someone so I ignored it.." He told Law, trying to hide the sadness in his voice. "You do? How come you never told me or Ace?" he asked curiously. "I don't feel like talking about it. What about you, though?" he asked, taking the last sip of his latte and tossing the paper mug on the ground, letting his hands slide under the jacket as well. "What about me?" he asked. "Because you are even more oblivious then me." Luffy stated, not trying to let his emotions get the better of him. "What are you talking about?" Luffy sighed, he knew this was going to happen. He was just glad that Law couldn't look at his face, otherwise he'd know immediately that he was making some parts up. "I know someone who's been flirting with you for 5 years, yet you never took a notice of it." They stayed silent for the rest of the walk back to Law's apartment. He knew that Luffy wouldn't tell him any name, but he didn't really care either, because the person he was currently in love with was not only way too young for him, but was also in love with someone else. And the fact that Luffy was going to sleep in the same bed with him didn't really help either. He officially considered this the worst night ever.

As soon as they entered Law's apartment Luffy ran into the bathroom and jumped under the shower, leaving the door wide open and his clothes scattered all over Law's bedroom. Law was tired as hell and wanted to go to bed immediately so he followed after Luffy and entered his bedroom, only to find Luffy's clothes scattered all over his bedroom floor. He picked them up and without noticing he walked into the bathroom to pick his pants up and when straightening his back he looked straight at Luffy's naked body, water running down his cheeks and trailing down his toned chest. Law stopped right there. If he would let his eyes look at the lower part of Luffy's body he wouldn't be able to sleep all night because of an extreme case of horniness. He turned around and walked out of the bathroom, managing to suppress the urge to step under the shower with the younger boy.

Law got undressed and climbed under the covers of his bed, just to be joined by Luffy only 5 minutes later. Apparently Luffy had left a pyjama here when he stayed over the last and put that one on. It was still slightly too big, but it looked immensely cute in Law's opinion. Law was sleeping as usual. Only wearing his pants. Luffy fell asleep before Law, who was still trying to get the thoughts of the water running down Luffy's naked body out of his mind. While deep in thought he had only now noticed that Luffy had cuddled himself up against Law and was sleeping peacefully.
