"Why are you two allowed to take someone along and I'm not?!" Luffy whined as he crossed his arms, pouting childishly at his two older brothers. "Because we take along our boyfriends. And considering that you don't have a boyfriend nor a girlfriend, you don't get to take anyone along." Sabo explained calmly, trying to reason with his younger brother. "But Ace isn't only taking Smoker along, but also his younger brother! Why's he allowed to take more people along?!" Luffy whined out and Ace couldn't stop himself from hitting Luffy on the head. "I already told you that Trafalgar is only coming along because Smoker thought it'd be a better idea if he'd get out of the city once in a while, you idiot!" Ace exclaimed while Luffy rubbed the sore spot on his head.
"How old is Smoker's brother anyways?" Sabo asked, turning towards Ace. "He's 24 and a nice guy, but I don't think he's going to like Luffy much.. he prefers quite people over balls of energy like Luffy." Ace explained, pointing towards Luffy accusingly, who couldn't even sit still for a single second.
"Eh?! He's…." Luffy paused, counting on his fingers. "7 years older than me! When you said younger brother I thought he'd be 15 or something like that!" Luffy exclaimed in shock. "I have to admit that I actually thought the same as Luffy.." Sabo admitted, looking at Ace slightly worried. "Are you really sure about Luffy and him sharing a tent?" Sabo asked worriedly. "Don't worry about it! They'll be fine!" Ace shook it off and started walking out of their apartments kitchen. "I'm going to pack the rest of my stuff now, you guys better hurry up! Smoker and Trafalgar will be here in only 10 minutes!" Ace yelled after them and Luffy nearly fell off of his chair.
"Only 10 minutes?! I still need to pack everything and I still have to shower!" he exclaimed, jumping off of his chair and running into his room to prepare everything, while Sabo simply rubbed at his temple, sighing in defeat. "Why do those two always have to do everything last minute..?" he asked himself out loud as he took out his phone, calling his boyfriend to let him know when they're planning on leaving.
Law, Smoker and Marco happened to all arrive at the same time, surprising both Ace and Sabo. Sabo and Marco left to get Sabo's stuff out of his room and Ace showed Law the kitchen, handing him a cup of coffee and disappearing upstairs with Smoker.
Law didn't mind being alone in the kitchen, though he kept on wondering how in the name of god they managed to get him to go along with this. He still couldn't belief that he had to share his tent with Ace's little brother. He's probably around 13 or something like that, Law thought. He seriously can't handle kids that age.
Luffy hadn't heard anyone coming by, and his clock told him that he still had 3 minutes left. He knew Smoker was always right on time, though he couldn't find the clothes he had put aside anywhere! So after jumping out of the shower he simply put a towel around his lower half and walked into the kitchen, where he was expecting to find Sabo, waiting for them to finally get ready. Though when he entered the kitchen he froze immediately.
There, on the chair Sabo usually sat, was now sitting one of the hottest guys Luffy had ever seen. The 'hot' guy Luffy was staring at right now, seemed to have noticed him standing there and looked up at him, frowning deeply as he looked at Luffy. "Ehm.. Hello?" the dark-haired man said. "Hi.." Luffy replied and noticed that the guy's deep grey eyes kept looking at him oddly, did he mention how beautiful he thought those eyes were? And as he followed the man's gaze he realized that in fact, he was entirely naked, except for the towel that he had tied around his waist and his face turned as red as his god-father's hair.
Law had just been sitting in the kitchen, deeply thinking on how much he didn't want to be here right now. There were so many better things to do for Christ's sake! Like studying for example! And that's when he heard light footsteps walking towards the kitchen, stopping abruptly before him, making a light splashing sound, why are there splashing sounds? The moment Law looked up he understood why. A few meters away from him there was a soaking wet teen standing, looking at him with wide, beautiful blue eyes. Law had never seen eyes this blue before.
Law noticed a small scar under the boy's left eye, which somehow fit him perfectly. As Law's eyes trailed down the boy's body he realized that the boy was wearing absolutely nothing besides the small towel he had tied around his waist. Law had to admit that, even though the teen was practically naked, he was still wearing too much for his liking. And damn, the blush that suddenly spread across his face was making him look even cuter. Law decided that it was time to finally break this awkward silence.
"I assume that you're Luffy-ya?" the man asked and Luffy nodded slightly. "Y-yeah… so… You're Law?" Luffy asked, biting on his lower lip nervously. "Yep." Law replied and within a matter of seconds Luffy ran out of the kitchen, leaving a stunned Law behind.
Luffy ran up into his bedroom as fast as he could, his heart-beating in his chest like crazy and he could feel his face burn from embarrassment. "Ah… that was soooo awkward!" Luffy groaned, burying his face in his hands.
"Oi, Trafalgar, have you seen Luffy?" Ace asked as he walked into the kitchen, stepping over a puddle of water, wondering how it had gotten there. "Just a few seconds ago, yes. He came walking in here soaking wet and almost entirely naked." Law replied, finishing his coffee. "That idiot! I've told him so often to put on clothes when we're expecting people over!" Ace exclaimed, storming out of the room, leaving Law behind with thousands of questions.
"You've met the brat?" Smoker asked, taking a seat next to his step-brother. "Yes. It felt extremely awkward though." Law added the last bit absentmindedly. "What'd you think of him?" Smoker asked, lighting up two cigars in his mouth. He's cute. Law thought, though answered differently. "He seems alright."
"Ha! I'm sure you're going to change your mind soon. He's one of the most annoying brats I've ever met!" Smoker exclaimed, receiving a raised eyebrow as a silent question from Law. "And I thought that more annoying than Portgas-ya didn't exist." Law commented sarcastically. "If you think Ace is annoying than you're going to have one hell of a time, yoi." Marco commented as he sat down as well, Sabo standing behind him, leaning his chin on Marco's head and hugging him from behind. "Luffy isn't that bad, you know! He's got his good sides as well!" Sabo exclaimed, pouting. "I don't really care either way, I just hope you guy's won't be acting all 'in love' while we're there." Law replied, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"You'd better use those then." Ace said, winking at Law as he tossed him two pairs of ear-plugs. "And give Luffy the other pair, okay? He can be a complete bitch when he doesn't get enough sleep." Ace laughed as he sat on Smoker's lap and Law grimaced, groaning as he put the ear-plugs in his pockets. He already regretted going with them.
A few seconds after Ace, Luffy came walking into the kitchen as well, though he was dry and dressed this time. He was wearing his usual blue shorts, a red shirt, his sandals and a straw-hat. Law noticed though, that he avoided looking at him, probably still embarrassed from their first encounter, he thought.
"Luffy, where'd you put your stuff?" Sabo asked, standing up straight to face his brother. "I put them in the hallway with all the other stuff." Luffy replied and Marco stood up. "Great, than you can help me load everything into the truck." He smiled at the teen and they both walked into the hallway, Luffy happily chatting with Marco about how excited he was to go to the beach and Marco just nodding slightly.
"Shouldn't we help them?" Law asked, looking from Sabo to Ace and then to Smoker. "Nah, Marco only went along with Luffy to make sure he doesn't accidentally break the car." Ace replied causally. "Has that ever happened before then?" Law asked with a raised eyebrow. "Every single time we want to go on a trip. But since we're using Marco's truck this time, he decided to make sure that Luffy won't break it. He's pretty attached to it." Sabo laughed and Law stood up frowning, wanting to see how someone as slim and small as Luffy could break a car.
"Oi, Luffy! Be a bit more careful, yoi!" Marco exclaimed as Luffy was about to slam the truck's door shut. "But I was only about to close the door~!" he whined. "That's the point! The last time you 'just closed' my truck's door 3 windows broke into pieces! And we'd all like to leave for the beach today and not tomorrow as soon as the truck got fixed!" Marco exclaimed, causing Luffy to pout. "Fine…." Luffy said and closed the door as careful as possible. "There, better?" Luffy asked and Marco sighed in relieve.
"Wait, you're done already?" Law asked as he walked up to Luffy. "Yes, of course we are. It were only 14 bags. Though I did have to walk twice because of this one extremely heavy bag." Luffy explained.
"Yes, and you nearly crashed into my car, you dented it in several places and you were about to smash the door!" Marco exclaimed. "But I didn't break the door when I opened it!" Luffy countered proudly. "How can you break a door by opening it?" Law asked and Luffy looked at him as if he were stupid. "Well, the last time it happened was 3 months ago, I just open the door and it somehow fell to the ground." He shrugged it off. "It doesn't just 'fall to the ground', yoi! You literally rip the door out of it's joints!" Marco yelled in frustration. "It never happened with gramp's car before!" Luffy exclaimed, frowning. "Garp's car is like a damn tank! You could bomb it and it wouldn't fall apart, yoi!" "Then why don't you just get a tank! That way I wouldn't break it so often!" Luffy countered and Marco sighed in defeat.
"Forget it, yoi! Just get in the car and I'll get the rest and Luffy, let Law open the door!" Marco yelled after them as he went back inside to get everyone else.
"Nee, Law? Can you swim?" Luffy asked as they got into the truck, Law and Luffy had to sit in the third row, with all the bags, because Ace and Smoker wanted to have the second row for themselves. Luffy had piled everything up on one side, meaning that they weren't pressed against each other and had at least some personal space left.
"Of course I can" Law replied as he scanned the bags, looking for a specific bag. "Seriously! Can you teach me? Sabo tried once, but I always sink like a hammer.. And Ace can't swim either!" Luffy pouted and then went to see what Law was looking for. "I'm not really good at teaching." He admitted and tried to pull out a dark bag which was put underneath all the others, but failing miserably. "Oh, let me get it." Luffy said, one hand reaching out for the bag and easily pulling it out. "Ah! That's the heavy bag for which I had to make two trips!" Luffy exclaimed. "What's in there anyways?" Luffy asked, looking up at Law, when he noticed that he was hanging half on the other man and he pushed himself back against his seat.
"Books. Medical books to be exact. I study medicine and I've got my finals next month." He replied, taking out 3 thick books, a pen and some paper. "We've got 7 hours before we reach the beach, which gives me more than enough time to at least get some stuff done." Law explained. "So you're going to be studying the entire way? That's soooooo boring!" Luffy whined. "And I'd appreciate it if you'd let me study in peace." Law said, meeting Luffy's eyes with a fierce look. "Okay! Fine! I'll just do something else then.." Luffy exclaimed, pouting. This holiday was going to be soooooo boring! Especially since it's not only Smoker and Ace's, but also Marco and Sabo's anniversary. He wished he could've taken at least one of his friends along, but no. Now he's stuck with a guy that's totally out of his league and wants to do nothing but study for the next 2 weeks. Just great.
