Sinking into the tub, Law let out a contented sigh. All of his strength dissipated, but he knew that that was going to happen. Luffy sat down right next to him. The other didn't seem bothered by the water.

"Does water have no effect on you, Luffy?" He was curious. He had seen the other dowsed in water but it didn't bother him.

"Why would it? I see that it affects you, though," Luffy said with a smile.

"Water affects those who have Devil Fruit powers. But it seems that you are an exception." His eyes drooped and he sagged in the water. "We should bathe before I collapse."

With a grin, Luffy started washing Law's hair. "I'll wash you and me if you can't." Law leaned into the massage that Luffy was doing to his hair.

Luffy washed them both, except for the other's private parts. He knew better than that. He nudged Law, who looked like he was asleep. "Hey? Are you asleep? This isn't the best place for that."

There was no reply. An idea crept into Luffy's mind. He grinned and grabbed Law's chin. Bringing their faces together, Luffy placed a small, gentle kiss on the other's lips. What surprised him was that Law started kissing back.

Opening his eyes, Law realized what was happening. He looked Luffy in they eyes. Backing off, Luffy continued to stare into Law's eyes. "L-Luffy?"

The other didn't respond. He got closer to Law and pressed their bodies together. "Luffy. I'm…I'm not ready for this." He sounded tired.

Nodding, Luffy answered. "I'll wait for you. If it means that I have to become Pirate King first, then, I'll wait."

Law nodded. He was so exhausted. "I think we need to get out before I faint." Luffy helped him out of the tub. They dried off and got dressed.

Entering the dining room, Law noticed that Killer was there as well. He walked up to him with Luffy holding his hand. "I guess Kid is asleep then."

Killer nodded. "He was pissed after you left. Chopper came back a little while ago and told him that he would be taking care of him until we left. That angered him even more."
"Serves him right. I don't want to see him again. Keep him on his ship." Killer nodded in agreement.

Leading Law to a lone table, Luffy left to get some food. It was dinner now. The two slept through lunch. Sanji sat across from him.

"It's really nice to have you help him. If you don't mind me asking, what would've happened if you didn't help him?" So everyone is curious, I see. I should tell him the truth.

"Not to scare any of you but if I wouldn't have helped and rejected him, then he would have died." Law was looking down. He couldn't meet the shocked expression of the other.

"Are you serious?!"

"I'm afraid so. I didn't want to tell you because I already chose to help. No need for any of you to freak out for no reason."

As Luffy left the kitchen, Sanji was already over at his table with Nami and Robin. He set the plate down in front of Law. It was stew. Something warm was always nice.

After dinner, Luffy and Law decided to go to the crow's nest to have some alone time. Law sat in between Luffy's legs, with his back to the other's chest. It was a warm night and the stars were out.

"Law?" Luffy broke the silence.

"Hmm?"

"When will I be able to?" The question confused Law.

"To what?"

"You said you weren't ready. When will you be?" Law blushed. He wasn't expecting this conversation.

"I-I d-don't k-know," he sputtered. His heart felt like it was beating out of his chest.

"Can I be soon? I don't think I can wait for long." Luffy placed his head on top of Law's.

"I'll think about it, okay?" Luffy complied. "We should go inside. Everyone else should be in bed by now and so should we."

The next few days passed by without incident. Luffy was a little bit rowdy, but he was overall happy. Killer made sure that Kid stayed on the ship and away from Law. Everyone else seemed to be in a good mood.

Luffy and Law were siting under the tree on the Sunny. "Captain?" Law looked at Bepo. He was sweating and looked like he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry. We tried to keep him from leaving but he just… He knocked Shachi out and locked Penguin in the room. We don't know where he is and Killer went to get some food."

"Slow down. Who left?"

"Kid is out of his room. And he's looking for you." Luffy tensed as he heard this. Law felt very worried.

"Tell Chopper to fill a dart with some anesthesia. I want Usopp to fire it at him. Let Killer know so that he can help. Luffy and I will hide in the tree." Luffy gave him a confused expression. "It's so he doesn't see us."

With that, Bepo left and the other two climbed into the tree. Luffy had Law sitting in his lap. Being quiet, they waited until someone came back to tell them it was safe.

An hour passed and no one came to tell them, yet. Dozing off, Law felt something on his chest. He whined quietly as it rubbed his chest and stomach. It felt nice. His face was red and he started to breath heavily.

"L-Luffy. I-I said n-not y-yet." The hands stopped but didn't go away. Luffy quietly groaned.

"How much longer? It's been four days." He sounded like he hadn't had food in those four days.

"I'm still thinking," Law answered. He could feel the problem that Luffy was having. It made his blush deepen.

"Captain!" The yell startled them. "It's safe to come down now."

Luffy hopped down, bringing Law with him. For the rest of the day, Luffy acted as if nothing was wrong with him. Only, Law could see how frustrated the rubber man was.

After a few days, Killer said that they were leaving. It gave Law some relief. Within those days, Luffy had been more persistent about Law saying yes to him. It got to the point where others were questioning if Law was coming down with a fever with how red his face was at times.

As a last resort, Law came up with a deal. He did it without thinking about what he was saying.

"Alright. I give in," he said as they sat in his room. He was once again in Luffy's lap and Luffy was rubbing his thighs.

"Really?"

"Yes. But you have to wait for two more days." That would be the end of the two weeks. If he could last for that long then he deserved it. "But there is a catch."

Groaning, Luffy asked a question. "What's the catch?"

Law smirked. "You can't touch me like you have been doing. If you do, I'll add and extra day for every time you do."

Luffy's jaw dropped. "That's not fair!"
"It is if you really want it."

"Fine. Can I still cuddle you and hold you?"

"Yes. That seems fair."

Luffy grinned. "I'll do it. If only I get to do it any way I want and you can't stop me."

Law groaned in defeat. "Fine. Deal." What did I just agree too? I think I'm going to regret this.
