"You're gonna get healed Law!" "Wait for me here Law." "Can you do me a favour Law? Will you stop Doffys madness?" "Goodbye"

Scenes of Corazon saying these lines went through Laws dreams. Even though it had been 13 years since Corazon died at the hands of his brother,Doflamingo, Law still had horrifying nightmares about his death. Many times he had considered trying to follow him into the void before he reminded himself of Corazon's dying wish and his crew that were relying on him.

As soon a Corazon died, Law woke up screaming. His thoughts were jumbled up and it took him a while to remember he was on the Thousand Sunny. That didn't stop him from spending a few more minutes crying his internal pain for a few minutes. He cried into his pillow in an attempt to quieten the crying and avoid drawing attention to himself. The last thing he needed was the straw hats to see his vulnerable side.

Then he sat up and mused about the nightmare. It had caught him off guard. It hadn't bothered him for a while. Maybe it came to remind him of his goal. Maybe it was a reminder that he shouldn't be goofing off.

Tears welled in his eyes and poured down his face again as he remembered Corazons death. He turned away from the door so any passerbys wouldn't see Laws now silent tears.

Not that it did much good. He had been screaming a few minutes or so before he woke and had attracted the attention of the straw hat crew. They had managed to glimpse him screaming and clutching his bed sheets before he woke. When he started to cry into his pillow, they decided he wouldn't welcome them marching into his room at his vulnerable moment.

They noticed the next day that though he had his normal neutral face, he remained silent through much of the day, speaking only when necessary. The straw hats respected his need to be alone and only gave discrete forms of comfort.

AN: this story probably could be modified to fit the actual number of rooms in the thousand sunny but for my purpose, I just gave Law his own room even though he probably sleeps in the same room as the rest of the crew. I just needed to get this part about Law screaming in his sleep out as it's been stuck in my head for a while. Originally, this was going to be a story where Usopp, Luffy and Chopper give this drug to Law where he has flashbacks in his sleep of his past and he reveals his past unconsciously in the real world via expressions and words. Then I thought it would be better manga style before eventually scrapping the whole idea about drugs and just keeping the part about him screaming which eventually became this angsty piece of writing. As always, thanks for reading :)
