Affectionate

Adventures in Wano- Story 2

To say that Luffy had missed Law while they'd been apart was an understatement. It was glaringly obvious from the way that he crawled into Law's lap at every convenience to the way he always found an excuse to be by his side. He even insisted they eat, bathe and sleep together as if it would make up for lost time.

The only time Law could get a moment to himself was when he secluded himself in his bathroom to undertake his morning routine. Luffy didn't really understand the array of skin and products that Law used and found them all too confusing. To avoid having to explain their uses every day, he instead made a point to shamble Luffy out of the room and lock the door so he could have a little time to think.

Law desperately needed time to think. He needed to strategize about the best way to take down Kaido, and make contingency plans for when his ally inevitably failed to stick to his desired course of action.

"Mugiwara-ya, do you remember your part in the plan for tonight?" Law questioned as he emerged from his bathroom.

Luffy who was bent in half digging through a large chest gave no indication that he'd heard the question.

"If we want to take down Kaido, you've got to take it seriously," Law emphasized.

"If you don't want to get caught all the time, you gotta wear a better disguise," Luffy responded, pulling himself out of the chest, clutching a finely patterned yukata and obi in his hands. "We gotta look like local people, right, Torao? So wear this."

Now that he was standing in front of him, Law could see the yukata Luffy had chosen to wear himself. It was a red patterned yukata with blue and green designs dyed into the fabric. The way the brilliant colours demanded his attention was only offset by the way the yukata hugged Luffy's body and exposed his skin in the most alluring ways.

Law had thought he'd long ago reconciled his feelings toward his ally, deciding that he wouldn't try to become involved with him in any kind of romantic or sexual way. Sure, Luffy was overly friendly and clingy, and called him things like 'my treasure' but he hadn't ever done so much as hint at wanting any kind of physical intimacy. Law had come to accept that theirs was just not that kind of relationship, although seeing the way the fabric of the yukata accentuated Luffy's body was pushing his resolve.

A small gap at the collar offered a shadowed glimpse of the soft skin underneath; it made touching, tasting that skin far more enticing than any plain, open shirt ever could. The wide tomoeri-collar drew Law's eyes down along its hem, crossing over Luffy's chest along the line of the scar that marked him. The obi pulled the fabric in at his waist, accentuating his lean figure. The yukata looked so natural on him- so strikingly attractive.

"Come on, Torao," Luffy insisted, tugging Law's mind out of his thoughts as he tugged on Law's front jeans pocket with one hand. "I want to see you in yukata too."

Law swallowed down the impulse to reply that he'd prefer Luffy out of his. Their relationship just wasn't like that and he knew it.

"Don't be shying." Luffy tossed the clothes back onto the big chest that he pulled them from to free both of his hands. Before Law could stop him, he'd grabbed Law's belt and popped the end out of the buckle.

"Stop!" Law's hands shot down to catch Luffy's at his hips.

Luffy looked up at him, speaking, but the words didn't register in Law's brain. The only thing his mind could focus on was the curve of his smile. How easy it would be just to lean down and place a soft kiss on his pale pink lips. A longing he'd pushed down inside of himself reminded Law with an aching in his heart just how much he wanted to feel Luffy's lips against his own. He knew he shouldn't, but what would it really hurt if he did?

"Torao?" Luffy tugged at the ends of his belt. "Torao?"

"Ugh, sorry." Law blinked down at him

"Your face is suddenly kinda red," Luffy noted. "Are you ok? Does it hurt anywhere?"

"Yeah. No. I'm uh, I'm ok," Law fumbled through his words.

"You don't seem ok. Your face is red and you were staring," Luffy noted, bringing his index finger up to trace his bottom lip. A frown tugged at the corners of his mouth as he looked doubtfully at Law. He pushed himself up on his tiptoes, leaning forward to settle Law's internal debate for him and press a quick, chaste kiss to his lips.

Law's mind hadn't fully registered what was happening before it was already over.

"There," Luffy stated, pulling back from him, "when in doubt, kiss it better. Do you feel better now?"

Law brought his hands up to cup Luffy's face in his hands- his precious little, stupidly cute face. This was a face he could look at a thousand times and still feel his heart flutter. Luffy's every expression, stuck pleasantly in his memory and etched itself on his heart.

"You're being so weird, Torao," Luffy laughed between his palms. He pushed forward to kiss Law again. "I just have to keep kissing you until you feel better," Luffy spoke against his lips, "and kissing you feels really good."
