Big Brother Law
Chapter Three – Oh Brother
Okay neither Law or Zoro were the most talkative people she knew, -that title went to her straw-hat wearing best friend- but this was ridicules!
Neither of them had said anything the whole meal! She had tried a few times to start some form of conversation only to get a reply of a nod or grunt to show approval or dislike which only lead back to more silence. Honestly, she was tempted if neither of them were going to talk, to go fetch Luffy. Oh then they would talk! And even if they didn't at least she would have someone to talk too!
Law had yet to stop glaring at Zoro, who was still a little embarrassed by being caught in such a position but he wasn't one to be intimidate so easily and was now matching Law's glare.
The two people Nami wanted to get along the most were officially having a glaring contest with each other. Brilliant.
Okay so maybe Law was more bothered by the fact she had a boyfriend the she originally thought. Maybe she should have taken the events with Nojiko and Ace was a warning sign. And yes, Law was probably still in shock after walking in on their little makeout session, however it could have been even worse if Law hadn't of arrived when he did because things would have gone much further.
If this was his reaction to them kissing, imagine his reaction if he walked in on them while they were doing that. Kami only knows what he would have done! He wasn't nicknamed the Dark Doctor for nothing you know.
Nami shook her head and glanced at the two males; both were glaring at each other while eating.
She should charge them both for this!
If it was any consolation, at least the food seemed to be going down well.
Law glared darkly at the male in front of him.
Not only was his mouth violating hers but his hands were in places that they shouldn't have been. In fact, he shouldn't have been anywhere near his sister in the first place!
Who the hell does he think he is?
Oh yeah, Nami had introduced him as her boyfriend
Great, so now Nami had one, Nojiko was bad enough, at least with Ace he knew he could trust the freckled boy to look after his sister, and if he does ever hurt his sister there will hell to pay. However, this stranger, whoever he was, he had no knowledge off and was taking advantage of his little sister! He'd seen his types before, he probably just planned on toying with her for a while until he got bored and then run off with someone else breaking her heart in process and like hell was he going to let someone upset his sister on his watch!
He remembered his childhood where during the weekend he could probably find Nami in her room, sat at her desk, drawing a map, she was a great cartography even at a young age and her dream was to draw a map of the world! He would always praise her for them and then she's get this happy gleam in her eyes before she'd jump and hug him, in which he'd hug her back.
It was somewhat awkward, and surprising the first few times, actually the first time she hugged him after he praised her, he ended up on his ass due to the shock and the sudden extra weight. He hadn't expected her to act that way, he'd just said the map looked good, which was the truth but apparently he must have said something right for her to come a hug him like she did. However, Law didn't do hugging, thought for some reason he enjoyed it... So he made an exception just for her.
He was determined, ever since he had made himself that promise on Corazon's and Bellemere's wedding day, to make sure no one ever made her sad and later on he added to it by promising to always try and see that happiness in her eyes like he did when he complimented her maps... a hug wouldn't be so bad either...
So this guy, who was going to make his sister sad, was officially his enemy...
And that was something you didn't want to be.
Zoro had the feeling if looks could kill, he would be dead ten times over already.
However, he glared back, he wasn't going to be intimated by this guy, okay he could understand why he was getting glared at, he was after all dating his little sister and from what Nami had told him, Law could sometimes be very overprotective...
Yep, he could see that.
Law might, no definitely, did not have the best first impression from him, considering he walked in when he did.
In a way Zoro was kind of glad he arrived then and not later because they probably wouldn't have been able to control themselves and would have gone the whole way... That would have defiantly been a bad time to walk in. Zoro doubted that he would be still alive, if this was the reaction he got when he walked in on them kissing.
Honestly, it wasn't how Zoro had planned on introducing himself to Nami's older brother, he'd got all dressed up and even fixed his hair up for crying out loud! He wanted to make a good first impression however, by the glare he was getting it seemed he hadn't accomplished his goal.
He had wanted get on the on the good side of Law in the hopes of getting the older males approval about dating Nami. He remembered the conversation he had with Luffy, when the younger boy had told him about the hell Ace had to through when him and Nojiko announced their relationship. Zoro shuddered at the memory; he had hoped Law wouldn't try such things with him but now after the scene Law had walked into and way he was glaring at him, Zoro was sure Law had something, if not many things up his sleeves.
Even Ace had an advantage over him!
Ace had known Law since their childhood and they had grown up together, so at least when him and Nojiko started dating Law already knew a lot about him. Zoro on the other hand…
But if a relation to that straw hat idiot could do it then so could he!
All he had to do was try and get Law to like him, it couldn't be that hard could it? The continues death glare he was receiving answered that question pretty quickly.
However, it didn't matter. If he needed to get Law's approval to date Nami, then he would get it no matter what Law threw at him.
The reason? Well because Nami was worth it. She was smart, brilliant and talented but also had her faults, a perfect mixture between good and bad, which Zoro really liked.
Zoro felt his cheeks warm up slightly, he really hoped Law hadn't noticed.
He wasn't even going to start going on how beauty she was, it was embarrassing enough that Law had walked in on them kissing but he'd die of embarrassment if he got turned on while thinking of how beautiful and sexy his girlfriend was with her brother in the same room… and if Zoro hadn't died in embarrassment then he was sure Law would of killed him instead.
Anyway the point was, he really, really, really liked Nami.
He could possibly love her but he wasn't sure and didn't want to say anything this early into their relationship, as even though they have known each other quite a while and after all they'd been through together, it would be still slightly weird if in under two weeks of being together he blurts out that he might love her, that might freak her out or scare her off and that was the last thing he wanted to do was scare her off.
So yeah he might possibly love her… But again that wasn't the point!
The point was, even if he did love her, he would definably need to get Law's approval which meant getting into his good book…
Maybe he should start a conversation with him? Everyone had been a little quiet…
Okay so maybe it was a bad idea to introduce Law to Zoro this way. Maybe she should have just waited until the family meal a few days away and brought Zoro along then announced it to everyone then.
However, Nami really wanted to give Law the heads up and give him a chance to get know Zoro a little beforehand.
Maybe Nami had been a bit naïve in thinking that Law wouldn't be bothered about her having a boyfriend, either that or it was just wishful thinking. Luffy had told her about the events Ace had when he announced his relationship with her sister, even if Nojiko still doesn't know about them herself.
Nami hoped he would just sit and sulk about it for a few days and then eventually get over it, hopefully…
She really, really wanted this to work out with Zoro; she really liked him and had done for a while. Not that she was planning on telling him that because it would only serve to feed his ego. Sometimes the word love would pop into her mind when she was thinking of him but she ignored it, it was way too early to be thinking about that.
Plus she had other things to deal with first!
Namely, Law.
She didn't even know it was possible for someone to hold a glare as long as he was!
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zoro blush, Law must have noticed as well because his glare hardened. Nami couldn't help wonder what her boyfriend was thinking about that would make him blush.
"So Law, Nami tells me you work in a hospital quite far from here." Zoro started, Nami's eyes widened in shock, she hadn't expected anyone to speak! She had resigned herself to a night of the two of the main males in her life having a glare down from across the table and then out of nowhere Zoro to just bursts out with something like that it surprised her!
It had surprised her so much that she started too choked slightly on the carrot she was currently eating! Zoro had patted her on the back a couple of times before the carrot finally settled down, Nami sent Zoro a grateful smile, who smiled back while rubbing soothing circles on her back.
Law had always gone on about how you needed to eat a balanced and healthy diet as it would be better for her and in the end cause her to live longer, however now they were trying to kill her!
Talking about Law, he was seething from the other side of the table. Does this guy have a death wish or something? He was once again touching his precious baby sister! If Nami needed soothing after choking then he, himself, would do it, he was her brother after all and it was his job to look after her!
Zoro let out a sigh of relief as Nami finally stopped choking on the seemingly innocent carrot; apparently, she hadn't been expecting any conversation out of either of them. However, he did notice that Law's glare got worse when he was touching her… Zoro hoped that Nami never went into to detail about their more private moments to her brother.
It seemed that her choking on a carrot was the highlight of the night…
Yay.
Please note the sarcasm.
This definitely wasn't how she planned the evening.
Not only that but it seemed the silence was back and Zoro's question was left unanswered. Well she appreciated his effort at least but it looked like Law was still sulking and Nami knew from experience that when Law sulked, he defiantly put on a show about it.
Well it looks like they were back to eating their dinner in silence again…
Nami used her knife to pick up another carrot and just before she just about to put it into her mouth her phone started to ring from the side of the sofa where it was before, she jumped a little in shock again from the unexpected call however this time she wasn't eating anything, she glanced down at the carrot before putting it down. She had learned her lesson, however it seemed like her food really was out to kill her.
She sighed, she knew exactly who was calling due to the ring tone –he'd set it himself- she had a feeling that both Law and Zoro did as well, however the question was why was he calling…
Well there was only way to find out.
Nami got her phone and answered, she opened her mouth to speak-
"NAMI!"
Yep it was definitely Luffy alright.
Nami had to pull the phone away from her ear due to the sheer loudness but put it back when he'd finally quietened down "What do you want Luffy? In fact, why are you even calling me? You live two doors down!" Nami replied annoyed.
"AH well you see-" Luffy took a deep breath "-SanjiwascommingaroundtomakemesomeawesomefoodyouknowbecauseSanjiisawesomelikethathealsosaidtoinviteyoubutyousaidthatnoonewastodisturbyoutonightsothenIrangZorobuthesaidhewasbusyandthenSanjicouldn'tcomedownbecausehesaidhehadtoworkandextrashiftbecausesomonewasillsoIhadtomakemyownfoodandwellthenowthemircowavesissmokingandhissingandthekettlewonteventurnonandIdon'treallyknowwhatI'mdoingsocanyoucomehelpmeplease?!"
Nami blinked.
"What?"
Had he even taken a breath the whole time? Probably not but either way Nami hadn't understood a word of it.
"SanjiwascommingaroundtomakemesomeawesomefoodyouknowbecauseSanjiis-" Luffy started again going super-fast.
"Luffy!" Nami cut him off, successfully stopping him "Now tell me what happened but this time do it slowly."
She heard Luffy take a breath. "Well! Sanji was coming around to make me some meet because you know Sanji's awesome like that, he also said to invite you but you said that no one was to disturb you tonight so then I rang Zoro but he said he was busy and then Sanji couldn't come down because he said he had to work an extra shift because someone was ill. So I've had to make my own food and well the now the microwave is smoking and hissing and the kettle won't even turn on and I don't really know what I'm doing so can you come help me please?!"
Well it was an improvement at least.
Still…
What the hell?
"What did you do Luffy?" Nami questioned annoyance evident in her voice, however it really didn't come as much as a surprise any more, this was Luffy after all.
"I didn't do anything, I was just following the instructions and then the microwave started smoking! It's still smoking… The kettle won't turn on either! I didn't do anything Nami! Promise!" Luffy explained.
Nami sighed, she better go see what was wrong, if she didn't he'd be an annoyance all night plus it would give her a break from the tension in this room and give the chance for them both to bond! Or try to at least…
She glanced at both males who were looking at her expectantly, "Okay, I'll be right over Luffy." She heard him cheer from the other end of the phone before a bang went off.
"Ah the Microwave just blew up…" Luffy muttered.
Nami rolled her eyes. "Give me a minute…" She muttered before ending the call and looked at both her boyfriend and brother.
"Luffy's having electrical appliance difficulties again-" She explained, they both nodded, "-I'm going to go over and sort him out, you two can stay here and finish off, I was about done anyway." She added before slipping out the room taking her phone with her.
Law watched as Nami slipped out the door, off on her way to help out her goofball of a best friend before turning his attention back to Zoro whose gaze was still on the door Nami had just slipped out off.
Well if anything, at least Luffy had managed to get Nami away for a few minutes giving him the perfect opportunity.
He glared at the guy who glared back.
"We need to talk."
