EDITED Hopeless Romantics: Chapter 2

I liked him. He seemed so nice, even though his hands said 'DEATH'…I wonder if he really would show me his other tattoos if I asked. Tattoos are so cool, I wish that I had one but I don't know what I would want. His eyes were so clear, but they looked sad—I wonder what that weird shock was when I shook his hand…I don't think I've ever felt that before. His name is so funny, I can't even say it, but Traffy is good, I like that name—it rhymes with mine!

Luffy was sitting in her next classroom after running away from Ace and Sabo before they could lecture her for the millionth time that she 'wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend and if any guy tried to hit on her to tell them she already had a boyfriend.' As she got older she began to be a little more interested in boys but things changed after she had met Kidd, her secret ex-boyfriend. She now realized how naive she had been about relationships, and she was glad they weren't together anymore. No one knew about her secret relationship with Kidd, Luffy didn't want to risk her brother's finding out about them. However, shortly into their relationship Luffy realized she didn't like Kidd in that way, but he didn't take no for an answer.

She had been tricked and used, she felt like an idiot. Though she didn't let herself cry about it, even after it happened. Luffy was a lot stronger than she looked and she wasn't going to let this stop her from being her cheerful self. She told herself and acted as if Kidd never existed, Luffy never told any of her friends what happened, and she certainly didn't tell either of her brothers.

In a daze, Luffy didn't realize someone had sat down beside her in the large auditorium. She was lost in her thoughts thinking about the tall man she had met earlier and the small smile that grazed his lips.

"Hey there, Luffy-ya. Looks like we are classmates." She recognized that voice, her head shot up and when her eyes landed on the man she was just thinking about, Luffy felt her cheeks heat up.

When Law walked into the auditorium he scanned the room for an empty seat, he was not looking forward to taking World History, it was a required course and he had been putting off taking for years. Suddenly his eyes had wandered to a straw hat, Law's lips twitched upward and he immediately began to walk towards the empty seat beside the girl who wore it.

After sitting down and realizing she was distracted, Law stared at her for a moment before he decided to announce his presence. When the girl turned at the sound of his voice he watched as her look turned from surprise to embarrassment and her tan cheeks began to turn crimson. Law was surprised by the girl's reaction, but he managed to keep his composure and gave her a small smile.

"Shishishishi, oh, hey Traffy!" Luffy gave him one of her brightest smiles, "It's nice to see you again so soon! I can't believe we get to be in the same class together!"

The girl genuinely looked excited and Law could feel his cheeks begin to heat up. Why does she have to look so damn cute! She looks so happy to see me, I wonder if she acts like that with everyone… He quickly expelled those thoughts from his mind, he didn't want to worry about such pointless things.

"How old are you, Luffy-ya?"

"Nineteen."

"What's your favorite color?"

"Red!"

"What's your favorite food?"

"MEAT!"

Law's smile grew as he watched Luffy lick her lips, her eyes sparkling and a bit of drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, then her stomach grumbled. He couldn't help the laughs escape his body, but he managed to keep most of his cool. Without thinking he reached forward and began to wipe the drool from her face with the sleeve of his yellow hoodie. He had placed his other hand on her shoulder to keep her steady as he cleaned her face.

"I like it when you smile like that," he heard her whisper just barely loud enough for him to hear. He felt his cheeks become warm as his hand on her shoulder felt the same electricity as before, but this time he didn't remove it. He kept his gaze locked with hers, noticing the different warm shades of brown that her eyes held inside. He hadn't realized how big he was smiling as he laughed at her drool-face, but he couldn't seem to wipe it from his face as he studied Luffy's face.

He noticed a scar under her left eye and began to frown, "What happened here?" Law lifted his hand to cup her cheek before he started to trace the scar with his thumb.

"Oh that!" Luffy said after a moment of silence, "Shishishi, I hurt myself when I was a kid—I think it makes me look badass!" She gave him one of her biggest grins and Law swore his heart stopped for a moment. Her brightness was infectious…intoxicating…addictive. When he looked at her smile he felt his own mouth twitch into one, the feeling strange on his lips.

The professor had begun to pass around the syllabus and for the third time that day Law didn't pay attention—well, to what he should have been. Instead, he watched Luffy as she wriggled in her seat beside him, never seeming to stay still for more than a few seconds. She was writing and drawing on the sides of her paper, using large loops and swirls. Ocassionally, she would look up and smile at him, not her usual large one, but a sweet and shy one. Law swore he saw her cheeks darken after she would look away.

Luffy wasn't sure what was going on inside of her stomach. She wasn't hungry-for once—even though her stomach rumbled when she was reminded of meat. Luffy was very much aware of what hunger felt like and this wasn't it. Every time she would look next to her, Law was staring at her, watching her, studying her. She found herself blushing as she thought about why he was looking at her like that. By the time class was over her stomach felt like it was about to wriggle out of her body.

As she gathered her things and placed them inside her bag, Luffy finally turned to look at her classmate. He was smiling, suddenly her heart stopped only for it to begin beating even faster than before. I told him I like it when he smiled like that…he looks so…so… Luffy wasn't sure what word to use, hot? Sexy? Gorgeous? Either way, it made her feel weird inside, but it was a nice weird.

"You've been awfully quiet, Luffy-ya." He smiled as he let out a low laugh which sounded so nice to the still-silent Luffy. Law bent down to whisper close to her ear, "Perhaps I've enchanted you." When he straightened back up, he winked at her and walked out of the auditorium. Luffy was left standing there with her mouth open, thinking about what he had just said. After a few moments she shook her head and smiled, So, you've enchanted me, huh?
