Similarities Blossom Friendship

Chapter 4: School Assignment: PIRATES!

That morning, Law woke to the smell of something that made his mouth water. Groaning, he got up and dressed and walked downstairs to the kitchen to see what's going on. He saw a huge table full of food on the dining room table

"Oh! Good morning Law!"

Law turned to the kitchen to see his dad in a frilly pink apron and with a big grin on his face

"I hope you're hungry!" Doflamingo said happily and Law looked back to the table and walked to it and lifted a pancake and sighed letting it fall out of his grip. He then turned to his dad with a cold look

"You're trying to act like nothing ever happened" Law said in a calm cold voice and Doflamingo smiled even if it was really hard to

"No Law. I realized that I need to be stronger for us both… for you. Here sit down and have some breakfast before school" Doflamingo said and Law silently sat down and began eating.

"Everything good?" Doflamingo asked and saw that Law finished and got up without a word, "Going to school? Here's your lunch. Have a great day~!" He exclaimed handing him a lunch bag and watched Law leave without a word. After Law left, Doflamingo sighed deeply

"…Law… please make a friend" he begged before cleaning

During school, the teacher decided to make a project assignment that was out of the blue. I was not listed under the schedule of the class

"Alright students, I know this comes as a surprise since it's not on the schedule" she said coughing when the "tough" kid in the class said 'Then let's not do it

"Don't worry, it won't be boring. You can incorporate anything in this project. This is going to be a story project, so it will be fun. 1 Class period per project, so it'll be 50 minutes per presentation. Best to keep that in mind"

"But there are 14 people in class" one kid said and a nerdy person spoke up to

"I highly doubt the principal would approve that"

The teacher sweat-dropped, "Right… the person to your right is your partner"

Law turned to his right and saw Luffy and groaned deeply

"Hey partner~!" Luffy said grinning and Law did not saw a single word.

After class was Lunch, so of course Luffy was with Law even if Law didn't want to, and started talking about the project

"This will be a fun project~!" Luffy said grinning, "I look forward to working with you! What times are you free to work on it?"

'Better get this over with' Law thought, "I am free after school today, you?"

"Me too!" Luffy said and Law explained that his dad wouldn't be home so they should just go there and Law glared at the grinning boy

"Look. Do not forget even for a second that this means we're friends. It's only for this project that we're being forced to do, otherwise I would never have invited you over to my house" Law said and Luffy looked at him confused. Law seemed different… did something happen?

"Well I know that, but I still like you!" Luffy said and Law looked at him to see a big smile plastered on his face

"I know it'll take some time for you to get used to us, but I really like you Law-Kun'

Law growled slightly turning away, "Well I don't like you"

"Doubt it" Luffy said causing Law to look at him, "Otherwise you would have said so. You wouldn't have 'saved' me from those jerks by causing a food fight. You wouldn't have said 'I don't want friends' you would've said you hated me."

Law narrowed his eyed and didn't know what to say to that, but he didn't have to because of certain jerks

"Well, well, well, look who it is"

Law and Luffy shared a look of pure annoyance before turning forward to face the 'bullies'

"What do you want Lucci?" Luffy asked and Law leaned his head on his arm, propped up by his elbow

"Brains perhaps? Cause it seems like we've sat here since I've been a student here, and yet you still have to say 'Well, well, well, look who it is' like only a person missing theirs would" Law said and Luffy started laughing deeply and Lucci growled deeply. Law smirked as he saw the goonies of Lucci try to calm him down

"Anger issues?" Law asked and Lucci looked to him

"I did come over here to say I feel sorry for you" Lucci said

"And why would that be?" Law asked slightly interested and not interested at the same time.

"Having someone like Luffy as a partner." Jabra said

"Hmm? Why's that?" Law asked curious just because Luffy did seem like he would be a reliable person to be partners with. After all, Luffy was the first one to bring up the topic about the presentation. In 3 months would be when the project is due, and Luffy mentioned it minutes after class

"He'll force you to do something about pirates" Arlong said

"He's obsessed" Crocodile said

"Is that so?" Law asked looking to Luffy, who was looking down,

"Have fun bastard" Lucci said as they laughed walking off.

Luffy looked to Law, "I… uh… hope you don't find it weird that I like pirates"

"No" Law said, "Don't listen to them. Pirates are the best"

"Really?" Luffy asked "You like Pirates of the Caribbean?"

"Own all the movies on DVD" Law said and Luffy smiled deeply

"Cool! Me too!" Luffy said and something in Law changed and he smiled and couldn't help it

"Who's your favorite character?" Law asked getting slightly excited and Luffy smiled

"Captain Jack Sparrow, who else?" Luffy said like there was no other answer

"Me too" Law said and they talked about pirates for the most of their lunch period.

"So… the project?" Luffy asked

"That bastard expects a pirate themed assignment? Let's give them the best damn pirate story in history" Law said and Luffy grinned

"Yeah!" Luffy said getting excited, "I actually never did a pirate theme assignment before"

"Really? But they said"

"Group projects" Luffy said, "No one I'm ever partnered with liked my ideas, so we ended doing their ideas…"

"They're bastards" Law said before he could help it, "Anyone who likes Pirates are awesome"

"Really!? Does that mean we're friends?" Luffy asked and with that one last word to slip out of Luffy's mouth Law narrowed his eyes

"No we're not." Law said and sighed not knowing what he was thinking. What got into him? He knows he can't have friends… "So, anyways… we'll come up with something great for our concept"

"At your place right? After school?" Luffy asked and Law nodded, "Great!... oh wait, what's today?"

"Thursday, why?"

"Oh… uhm. I need to do something real quick after school… so I'll meet you at your place"

"Idiot. You don't know where I live"

"Then come with me after school. It won't take long; I promise"

"Sure, I guess… not like I have much of a choice" Law said rolling his eyes and Luffy grinned

"Great! See you after school!" Luffy said grabbing his things and leaving to his next class and Law sighed deeply. It's really weird. He can be cold to the person who helped raise him, he could be cold to anyone… so why in the world can't he seem to be cold to Luffy? What was he just doing? Having conversations, smiling and laughing with that guy. Law sighed deeply as his mind was trying to make sense of it all

'It's just that I can't be cold to the person I'm partners with. That has to be it' Law thought leaving to class though one question did itch his mind. What did Luffy need to do after school so badly?
