A/N: I apologize, I haven't proofread this yet and just finished writing. I have never written smut so people who are okay with badly/lazily written sex scenes, continue reading. This is why I should stick to T and K rated stories. Also, I don't read the manga so some things might be inconsistent.

Pairing: Law x Sabo
Rating: M (for scene)
After a long gruelling and difficult battle with Doflamingo and his crew, the Donquixote Family were taken away by the Marines. No one knew what the World Government planned to do to them—lock them in Impel Down, execute them, or torture valuable information out of them. Whatever it was, it didn't matter right now. The SMILE Factory was confiscated, all the flawed and perfect fruit crops were taken away by the officials.
The citizens of Dressrosa were liberated from their tyrant king whom they believed to be their saviour for the past eight years. He was the true mastermind behind the downfall of King Riku. Every one of them were crushed with guilt: they had betrayed their beloved king who they devoted their entire lives to. King Riku was their honour and pride, they were a peaceful country that never engaged in warfare. The people had lost their loved ones, they had experienced the fear of guns directed at them, saw familiar faces get chased and slashed by neighbours. They deeply regretted how chaos and violence tarnished their soil because they for all they knew, they were the ones who welcomed it. Though everyone could still taste the bitterness in their mouths and see red with their eyes, a tremendous amount of relief washed over them and they held a nation-wide celebration.
"Wait, Straw Hat!" cried a doctor. The man, accompanied by nurses and other doctors, chased Luffy down the stairs. Unfortunately, the young man leaped out from a nearby window and they lost sight of him.
"Are you kidding me."
A nurse nagged at the doctor in charge of Luffy. "He shouldn't be moving right now! With those wounds it'll take longer for him to fully recover!" She scolded the man, furious with the doctor's carelessness and was interrupted by a scream. The group of nurses and doctors rushed into the room where the scream came from.
"What's wrong?!" one yelled.
A young woman stood frozen in the empty room and shouted, "Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro is missing from his bed!" Another screeching voice pierced the small temporary hospital building. A young civilian volunteer was panting, his hands resting on his bent knees. He pointed down the hallway to the right.
"Nico Robin is gone as well! I've also heard their reindeer pet, their navigator and cook disappeared! It's likely the whole crew…"
The doctor in charge of Luffy leaned against a wall and banged his head on it. "They're all like their captain."
"Yahoo!" Luffy swung across the hospital building and landed onto the ground. He looked left and right, making a run for it when no one came after him. He held onto his hat and laughed to himself. How could anyone stay in bed when a celebration was going on outside?
Like the rest of Luffy's crew, the fighters that participated in the colosseum battle, and the Tontatta people were recovering from their severe injuries. They slept through a week and awoke—some earlier than others—to lively chatter and brilliant torches of fire. The place was filled with singing, cries of joy and laughters and motivational speeches of their struggles up until now.
Luffy perked, catching a glimpse of black and yellow. He dashed through the crowds of partying people and tackled a man dressed in a black coat. The man caught him, only taking a step back.
"Sabo!" Luffy rubbed his face in his brother's shirt and lifted his head to look at him with teary eyes. He gripped the back of his shirt, his arms wrapped around Sabo's waist. Sabo brightened, tossing his drink behind him. He hugged Luffy, then pulled back.
"Are you okay now?"
Luffy nodded.
"I'm glad…" Sabo breathed. "I'm glad you're fine," he said, his voice slightly cracking and tightened his embrace. Luffy did the same, clinging on his brother. They shared a moment of relief, assured the other was safe.
"You didn't meet my nakama yet, I'll introduce you to them," Luffy said, leading Sabo by the forearm.
"I'm looking forward to that," he replied and smiled. It was finally time for him to meet his little brother's crew. Sabo blinked at his brother. "What's wrong?" Luffy was squinting and his expression slowly morphed into a grin. He bounced up and down, beaming. Without saying anything, Sabo was dragged, bumping into several people along the way.
That idle gaze of yours
Like your head's just stuck in the clouds
Luffy huffed in agitation. He stretched a hand, hooking onto someone's shoulder and rocketed them forward.
"L-luffy?!" Sabo shouted.
They crashed to the ground, hearing a man groan underneath. Luffy laughed, getting up. Sabo quickly stood to allow the other man to get up.
"Sabo, meet Torao, my nakama." He gestured to the scowling man dusting his pants and adjusting his hat. Law peered from his hat, eyeing the man standing in front of him.
"Torao, meet Sabo, my older brother!" Luffy giggled in excitement.
His brother huh, Law thought. The man didn't resemble Luffy, his hair blonde instead of black, his eyes round lacking the unique oval shape, his irises blue rather than dark brown. He mentally noted the burn scar on Sabo's face and nodded.
Sabo brought his hand towards Law. "Nice to meet you Torao, you've taken good care of my brother, thank you." He smiled. Law took Sabo's and they shook hands.
"Hey Luf—" Sabo turned to his side, where Luffy was supposed to be standing. Law jerked a thumb in a direction, Sabo's line of sight following it. His little brother was already gobbling food, wiping tables clear. He scratched his head.
"You're Mugiwara-ya's brother," Law stated. Sabo faced the man and nodded.
"I am. You're Trafalgar Law, the one Luffy formed a pirate alliance with." Sabo lips stretched into a line. Law shrugged. He had to admit, the man was fairly handsome in a beautiful way. Blonde locks, flawless skin, round eyes and the clothes he wore suited him—even the top-hat.
The polite smile disappeared from Sabo's face and he glared at Law. "If you ever betray or hurt Luffy, I will make sure to personally hunt you down and…"
Law glowered at the man. "We're both pirates, eventually we'll become enemies," he said and Sabo blinked.
"Ahaha!" he laughed. "You're a realistic guy huh, Torao."
Law grunted. He was beginning to think Sabo's behaviour was interesting. The way way he didn't have just a polite, nice older brother side, he had a fierce protective streak when it came to Luffy amused him. Probably because the other one was already…
"Stop calling me that."
"No way, I like it." He grinned. "Torao…it sounds like a nice nickname."
Law rolled his eyes and let out an irritated sigh. Right, this was Mugiwara-ya's brother he was talking to. No doubt about that now.
"Do whatever you want," he spat.
"Torao!" Chopper called from afar. He stopped at Law's feet and yelled, "You're supposed to be in bed resting! I told you not to walk around and you even took off your bandages!" He continued to nag at the man, the other ignoring his scolding. Law stepped to the side, intending the mingle into a dancing crowd and escape the doctor's grasp.
"No you don't, a patient of mine doesn't get away," Chopper said and transformed into Kung-Fu point. Law glanced behind him, a drop of sweat running down his face, this was going to be problematic.
He took large strides and before the reindeer could begin to chase after him, he raised a hand.
"Room, shambles."
Chopper stood in place frozen, it took him a while to realize he'd lost Law. He started panicking, running off to the next street. Sabo crossed his arms, unsure of what to do. He hummed and tilted his head to the side.
"Sabo-san!"
Sabo turned around, it was a voice he knew. A woman waved a hand and moved through the maze of people to get to him. He squinted his eyes, there was someone who was clinging on her arm.
"Where did Luffy go?" Robin asked.
"He saw food."
Robin chuckled. "Well then, I'll help you meet the rest of the crew. Come on." She walked off and he followed closely behind. Sabo sighed.
"What are you doing Koala…" He received a pouty face from the woman. Koala clung onto Robin's arm, her arms hugging the woman's to her chest.
"What. It's been so long since we've seen Robin, can't I be spoiled?" she complained. Sabo didn't pay attention and that made Koala continue, "It's not like Sabo-kun wasn't happy to see Luffy."
Blood rushed to Sabo's cheeks and he sputtered, "Luffy's my little brother, of course I was happy to see him!" Koala huffed.
"Then that means I can be happy and have Robin spoil me!" she concluded.
The first of Luffy's crew Sabo met was the green haired man. Robin introduced him, mentioning that he was the older brother their captain was talking about when Luffy, Kinemon and him were making their way to the King's Plateau.
"Oh, hey there, Luffy's brother." Zoro thumped a bottle of beer against Sabo. He took the bottle and looked at the man. "Care to join me for a drink? Or if you think you're a great drinker, let's have a contest." Sabo laughed and agreed. As he expected of Luffy's crew, they were easy to get along with and interesting people.
As the afternoon faded into evening and evening faded into night time, Dressrosa's streets were littered with dozens of people who collapsed from over-partying or passed out from drinking to much. They all had idiotic smiles on their faces.
Law sat on the edge of a two-storey building, his legs dangling in the air. Being on the roof, calmed him. He could see what was below him, the ever-lasting party continuing, endless food prepared by chefs, and the fires that lit the dark roads.
Cora-san…
Law exhaled. He closed his eyes, eyebrows scrunched together. It was over, it ended, his goal of many years had been achieved—Doflamingo was taken down. Is that alright, he thought. Did he do the right thing? His mind flooded with thoughts of his sister, his adoptive father, the years he spent after he'd left Doflaming and became a pirate. Law had spent a great deal of his life attempting what was viewed as impossible. His enemy was the world, or so it felt like it and he conquered it. This was it, he was done, what was next? Was his goal really achieved?
Is it fear you're embracing? Or is it hope?
How are you looking at this whole situation?
Do you have anything you still want to believe in?
Law was too deep into his own musings he didn't hear footsteps approaching behind him. The figure stopped and sat beside him. Law craned his neck, holding in the flinch of surprise of another presence he hadn't noticed.
"You seem like you've got a lot of stuff on your mind," Sabo said.
Law stared straight ahead. "…Yeah." Sabo unwrapped the bandage from his wrist and let the wind carry away the cloth. He raised a leg to rest on the cement, his arms splayed behind him allowing him lean backwards.
"Torao, do you need comforting?" he asked. Law faced him, his eyes narrowed.
"What are you trying to say?" he growled. He watched Sabo, a breeze blowing the blonde locks covering the side of his face. The wind stopped and the man slowly turned to Law. Sabo's gaze made his breath catch in his chest.
"No," he refused and tore his eyes to look at the sky. "I don't need any comforting and it'd be nice if you'd leave me now."
Is it the anxiety that you remember? Or is it the discomfort?
You believe you can't do anything
Sabo sighed. "If you say so." Law stayed quiet, a bit grateful the man was going to leave and at the same time, lonely.
"Like hell I would." Sabo yanked Law's arm, forcing him to stand on his feet. Law struggled against the hold on his arm—such a powerful grip coming from a thin body surprised him.
"I told you I don't want your damn comforting and I don't need it!" Law snapped. Why was the guy so damn persistent?
"You saved Luffy, I'll do anything to return the favour." Sabo tightened his grip. "Let me," he said firmly.
He released Law's arm, turning around, knowing Law would follow and he did. Law scowled and cursed in his head, these damn brothers, I'll freaking murder them one day.
Cora-san…
"Dressrosa is free, freedom is ours, cheers!" A man standing on stacked cargo boxes held up a glass of beer. People below him hooted drunk on joy and exhilaration.
The corner's of Law's lips curved upwards.
With a creak of a door opening, Law entered the room after Sabo. He went straight to the bed and sat down, the mattress sinking. He hung his head, breathing. He held his head in his palms, his elbows resting on his knees. Why did he follow the man? How would this help, he wondered. Law heard rustling noises—something falling to the floor.
Sabo put a hand on his shoulder, pushing him until Law's back gently hit the sheets.
"Sabo-ya…"
"What is it, I'm here," he whispered. Law kept silent. Sabo trailed his fingers down his shirt and stopped at the hem of Law's jeans. He pat above the man's jeans, scooting backwards and placed his mouth over while massaging the crotch area with his hands. Law let it happen.
When he made a move to pull Law's pants down, a hand grabbed his wrist. "Don't touch me," Law growled.
Sabo sat up. "Okay, then—"
"I didn't ask for your help!" Law yelled, it was frustrating to keep up with Luffy's brother as expected.
No more? Keep struggling
'Cause this is wonderland
Spending your night and days in a false dream
Open those naive eyes, no hesitation
Sabo stared at the him, unfazed. "Then, will touching me make you feel better?" He reached a hand, leading Law by the wrist to cup the side of his face.
Law could feel Sabo's heart beat under his palm and the warmth of Sabo's hand.
"You're persistent Sabo-ya." He sighed and said, "Fine, I'll take you up on your offer if you insist on this so much…" He brought Sabo's hand to his lips, kissing them. Law directed a stern gaze at him.
What do you wanna break?
He licked Sabo's neck, sucking the skin red. Law shoved a rough hand up the man's shirt, feeling Sabo's ribs—the skin over the bones—before flicking at his nipple. It made the other take a shallow breath. Law grunted and tugged on the shirt. Sabo understood, taking his shirt off, throwing it into the pile where his hat and coat was. Law continued to suck at Sabo's skin, occasionally biting down. He used one hand to tweak the Sabo's chest while having the other run up and down his lower back.
Sabo shivered, his breathing was starting to pick up. He clutched at Law's shoulders and smirked.
"You're being awfully rough," he commented. Law could hear the amusement in his voice.
"If we're going to do this, faster is better," Law said and pulled Sabo towards him. Sabo fell through, flopping onto the bed with a chuckle. His blonde hair curled around his neck.
Law hovered over his body and left wet trails with his tongue, licking Sabo's jaw, neck, collarbone to his chest. His bottom lip brushed over a nipple and began to lap at it.
"Hn…" Sabo grasped Law's short strands of black. He felt the man smirk against his skin.
"Do you like it here?" Law asked and sucked the nub harder, bringing his free hand to pinch the left nipple as well, eliciting a moan from Sabo.
"Mhn..!" He unconsciously arched his chest closer to Law's body. "What a smug bastard you are," Sabo said. Law shrugged, putting distance between him and Sabo.
"Hey," he started and continued when he knew the man was paying attention, "why are you doing this? It's not for me or for Mugiwara-ya is it." Sabo blinked.
"I wonder why…" he whispered, avoiding Law's eyes. "Ah!…nnh…" Sabo gasped, automatically throwing his hands out, reaching for Law's thighs and closed his legs as the man ground his crotch with a knee. He whipped his head, searching Law's expression. "What?…"
"Don't lie Sabo-ya. I can't read minds but I think I know your reasons." Law proceeded with grinding his knee into Sabo, surprisingly enjoying the man's responses.
"Hm…Really?" Sabo tried holding in his voice, threatening to spill out of his mouth, panting and so his words were unsteady. Law sighed.
"It's Fire Fist-ya right?" Sabo went rigid under him and it confirmed that he was right.
"What are you trying to say?" Sabo snarled.
"Don't look at me like that." They both went silent, staring at each other.
Sabo spoke, placing his hand over his eyes. "You…saved Luffy, that, I'm grateful for." Law listened and sat still, watching the man below tremble. "But…Ace, you couldn't…"
"Don't make it my fault," he said lowly. Sabo removed his hand from his face.
"I'm not making it your fault!" he yelled and threw a bottle at the man.
"Jesus…" Law grumbled, uncapping the bottle. He poured the clear liquid onto his fingers and sighed. "Room, shambles." And the other's pants and underwear disappeared to another part of the room, a couple of rocks appearing. Law swept the rocks off Sabo's body and he got to work, wetting Sabo's entrance with the substance before gently prodding into him. He took his time, careful as to not hurt the man and be effective with the stretching process as possible.
"Mnnn..hm…" Sabo could feel his insides being caressed and it was strange but nice. His breathing picked up again, sounding more like pants, his face turning redder. Law added another finger, and another, going deeper every time he withdrew them. It was starting to make Sabo too hot, he was sweating the longer Law touched him inside.
"Tora…o.." his breath hitched. "Just stick it in already. You're taking forever."
"Impatient guy aren't you, Revolutionaries' number two," Law said, taking his fingers out and wiping them on the sheets. Sabo snorted.
"I know you want this, you needed comforting and I'm giving it to you." It irked Law, like he was the one being done a favour.
"Hey, you're the one that wanted comforting, not me." He narrowed his eyes. "Fire Fist-ya is dead and I'm not going to apologize for not saving him. It was too late when I got there."
"I told you I wasn't blaming you!" Sabo shouted.
"That's how it sounded to me though." Law leaned forward, his face close enough to Sabo's their noses were almost touching. "Tell me Sabo-ya, what are you trying to do with the man who couldn't save your brother?" Sabo stared into dark eyes, shaking slightly.
"Nothing."
"Is that so," Law stated and lined his erection against Sabo's entrance. He nudged it a few times, letting the man know he should relax now. Sabo grit his teeth as he was stretched, it stung.
"Relax…" Law managed to hiss. He stopped, allowing Sabo to adjust. He would push in bit by bit, pausing when he felt resistance and pulled back before pushing in again, a little more deeper. He was being gentle, putting no strain on Sabo—Sabo was comfortable. He regulated his own breathing, forcing his abdominal muscles to relax and hopefully it made Law's job easier.
No more? Shout it out
'Cause this is a miracle
Suspecting everything that comes your way
You stare at fate with bare eyes
When Law was fully sheathed inside Sabo, he pat the man's stomach. "It's all in," he panted. He wiped away the sweat beading on his forehead. Why is it so hot in here, he thought.
Sabo wrapped his legs around Law, pulling him. "You can move." Law did, starting slow then gradually picking up the pace. He wouldn't say it out loud, but every time he rubbed the right spot, a chill of arousal would gather in his lower abdomen when Sabo whined and moaned. Law licked his lips. It was exciting to see someone, to see Sabo, writhe beneath him, grasping at the white sheets, all flushed. Law felt a hand on his cheek and blinked.
"What?" He restrained himself from growling at Sabo not to touch him. The man smiled, patting his face.
"I knew you needed this," he said. Law knitted his brows, what was the guy getting to now? Sabo chuckled. "Because of your beloved Corazon, right?"
Law's eyes widened and he snapped his hips, roughly slamming in Sabo.
"Ah! ….you're…e-easy to understand too.." he stuttered, gasping and twisting his body against the bed. Law kept going, keeping the harder thrusts and fast pace.
"What do you know?!" he roared.
"More than you think I do." Sabo smiled. He closed his eyes, enjoying the pleasurable sensations rippling throughout his body. Every time Law rubbed the right angle and spot, he would tense, a numbing sensation hitting him, one bordering pain because it felt too good. Sabo could tell Law was close, his expression scrunched in concentration and movements desperate.
"Come in me, Torao…" Law gasped and groaned, body going still as his orgasm washed over. Sabo shivered, the pulsating erection gradually growing softer, and the man's essence spurting inside his tight cavern. It spread throughout him and he exhaled as Law slipped out, collapsing on top of him. Sabo pet Law's hair. He heard quiet snores and chuckled—Law had fallen asleep.
Sabo held Law against him for an hour or two, he couldn't tell before shifting from under the man and off the bed. He collected his clothing, putting them back on, ignoring the aching pain nagging at him. He turned to the sleeping man on the bed.
"You still have your crew and Luffy will always help you," Sabo whispered and planted as kiss on Law's forehead. The door creaked and with a last smile, he exited the room.
This place is an absolute amazing world
Law rolled over on his side, covering his eyes with his forearm and couldn't restrain the smile making its way to his face. He laughed, a few droplets of water dampening the sheets.
