Everyone knows that Law is not the type of guy to enjoy celebrating special events like anniversaries or birthdays. He's not into this kind of stuff. He likes the quiet side of things. Yeah sure, he won't refuse a drink at a pub once in a while but that's pretty much it. Nothing more than that.

And if it's someone's birthday and that person is lucky enough to be part of Law's circle of loved ones, then the dark-haired man will give them their present and good wishes prior to their birthday party. That's how the surgeon deals with these things.

He doesn't even celebrate his own birthday. He's thankful for all the messages, phone calls and presents he gets but just the idea of having a birthday party gives him a headache.

However, this year's birthday will be different for Law because he finally has a partner after three years of being single. He has Luffy and it's quite nice to wake up in the morning with his boyfriend all over him, kissing him and whispering to him so many sweet words. He thinks it's going to be the perfect day, just the two of them laying around, watching some movies, maybe even cooking something together and obviously, a few rounds of sex. Actually that's the only way Law is willing to celebrate his birthday.

So of course that after eating the breakfast Luffy made for him, which was surprisingly good despite Luffy not being the greatest cook but it's not hard to see he made an heroic effort just because it's a special day, he sank back into his warm bed expecting his boyfriend to do the same.

That never happened.

He felt something tugging at his arm and when he opened his eyes he saw Luffy trying to get him out of bed.

"What are you doing, Luffy?"

"I'm sorry babe but I'm not going to let you spend your birthday in bed. Well that's not entirely true, you are going to spend your birthday in bed but that'll be later when we're both horny and stuff. But for now get your sexy ass out of bed."

Law was looking at his boyfriend with a perplexed expression. What exactly does Luffy want? They made no plans for today unless.. The surgeon closed his eyes for a second, mentally slapping himself for not realizing that his boyfriend is none other than Luffy. This guy can't stay still for five minutes on a normal day, let alone when it's someone's birthday. Damn it. So yes, they made no plans for today unless Luffy has his own little plan with all it's surprises. Heck no! Law doesn't like surprises, he despises them.

"Luffy, please tell me you're not planning anything." Poor Luffy is still struggling to get Law out of bed but it's not that easy considering that his tattooed lover has some rock-hard muscles that won't even budge if their owner doesn't want them to.

"Just get up. It's a crime to spend your birthday doing nothing. Anyway, I'm not going to do anything that might ruin this day for you, I promise. Just.. please get up. I have a present for you."

Law sighed and frowned with his eyes closed knowing he might regret this. He suddenly got up which made Luffy lose his balance because he was still pulling his boyfriend's arm. The teen fell on his back and Law made no effort to help him. He thought he deserved it for ruining his perfect morning. The younger looks happy though. He's grinning from one ear to the other now that Law is up.

"Come with me!"

Luffy just sprinted out of the bedroom like a cat while Law is barely dragging his feet behind him.

Once he made it into the living room, he saw Luffy pointing towards a white box with a red ribbon. Law raised an eyebrow. How the hell did Luffy manage to hide such a large box in their apartment? The man also noticed a few holes in the box. What the..?

"Come on, Traffy. Open it, come on."

"Alright, alright.."

Law sat down on the couch and Luffy pushed the box towards the birthday boy with a large, eager smile. The man looked a bit unsure and somehow scared. What could possibly be in that box? Luffy can be unpredictable, everyone knows that. He hesitated at first but seeing the hopeful glint in Luffy's eyes, he sighed one more time and decided to just open it fast and get it over with.

What he found in that box was something he thought he will never see again. Law's eyes were wide and stuck on the white fluffy soul in front of him. They even started to get a little bit teary.

"I can't believe this.. Bepo? Luffy, how did you..? I don't understand." Luffy just smiled his most genuine smile.

"Well, you know I have some connections with my brother being a detective and all. So I asked Sabo if he can help me find this little guy. He was more than happy to help. You know I have my brothers wrapped around my little finger since I'm the youngest, hehe.."

Law couldn't believe it. He once showed Luffy a picture of Bepo but he never thought that he of all people would be able to find him. Three years before the hyperactive teen made his way into Law's heart and life, the surgeon had another boyfriend and he cared a lot about him but he turned out to be a complete asshole because he just left one day without explaining anything and he took everything, including Bepo, their dog. They bought the little guy when their relationship was still working and Law got really attached to the ball of soft, white fur. A few months ago Law ran into the bastard that broke his heart and asked him about Bepo. He told Law that he had lost their dog so he just bought another one. The surgeon would have punched the guy if it didn't go against his principles as a doctor. Because of people like that guy Law has a hard time opening up, always thinking that he'll end up dissapointed if he lets his walls down.

Looking at Luffy now though, he feels the need to thank his lucky stars for having him as a boyfriend. Yeah, he can be too loud at times and his energy may be too much to handle sometimes but Law loves him with all his heart. This kid with his big smile and innocent eyes is worth all the suffering he felt if that's what brought him into his life.

Law didn't know what to say and Luffy was beginning to feel a little worried seeing the tears at the corner of his boyfriend's eyes.

"Oi Law, are you okay? Do you not want him anymore? I'm sorry, I thought it would e nice gift for your birt-" Law embraced his lover almost knocking the air out of his lungs.

"You talk too much.. but thank you, Luffy. I lost hope of ever seeing Bepo again. I owe you so much!"

Luffy laughed with all his body but he embraced his lover too. Bepo was already all over the two, barking cutely and wagging his tail excitedly.

"What are you talking about? Today is your birthday. I'm supposed to cover you in presents, right?"

Such a simple-minded idiot but so selfless and caring and oh, so lovable!

"Come on, it's not over yet. Go change and in the meantime I'll show Bepo his new home and tell him to make himself comfortable."

Law smiled and did as Luffy told him without complaining anymore but he doesn't think his heart will take it well if surprises like this will keep coming up.

This is part one. There will be a part two for this little story and I promise I'll update soon.

This is a little something I wrote just now since it's Law's birthday. My precious baby is growing up so fast.

Happy birthday, Law!
