Hurt
There was nothing but darkness as he stood there. It was something that he didn't understand. He started to walk. He didn't have a place in mind but he wanted to get somewhere. He kept walking until he realized that it wasn't getting him anywhere.
After what felt like an eternity, Law saw a glowing figure in the distance. A growl sounded behind him. Turning his head, Law saw two glowing red eyes looking at him. He began to run towards the figure. He hoped that they would be able to help him and tell him where he was.
Getting to the figure, Law was able to recognize who it was when he got closer. It was Corazon. "Cora-san? What are you doing here?" he asked as he got to him. Corazon smiled at him. He was completely white. Everything about him glowed a bright white.
"You are growing up so fast." He continued to smile at him. "I have always known that you would be a great person." Law looked away from him.
"No, I'm not. I use people to get where I need and want to be." He rubbed his arm "I used Luffy-ya to get to Doflamingo and to take him down. It was supposed to be my job." Law looked at the floor. "I got him hurt and it wasn't any of his concern."
"That's where you are wrong." Law looked up and saw Luffy walk from behind Corazon. He was also a glowing white. "I helped you because I wanted to."
"But, you go hurt. And I put your entire crew in danger. I'm not a good person. I hurt everyone I come into contact with no matter who it is." Suddenly, another him walked out from behind Corazon. He was also glowing white like the other two.
"But your crew and friends would say otherwise. They love you and would follow you wherever you go," the other him said with a soft smile. Law didn't like that idea. He hated to know that.
"But, they will get killed if they continue to follow me." He knew it was the truth. He had brought them nothing but trouble since the day that they had joined him.
"But, that isn't your fault. You are their light in this world of darkness." Law hated to know that his other self was right. His crew followed him because he had saved most of them from a horrible fate. Rin was one of them.
"Law, you will be missed if you leave them," Luffy and Corazon said together.
"But, how am I supposed to keep them from dying if I couldn't even keep myself from almost having that same fate?" He wished that he could just change the past. He wanted to know what would've happened if he had died.
"You don't want to know that route." Law looked at himself. "It would've been a devastating time for Luffy, his crew, and especially your crew." Law2 walked up to him and took his hand. "I can show you that route." He led Law to a window that appeared in the floor. Corazon and Luffy followed the two.
On the other side of the glass, Luffy was clutching Law to his chest. Tears were pouring down his face. Doflamingo was defeated and the members of his crew that had stayed were standing around him and Law.
"Why?! Why did it turn out like this?!" Luffy shouted. He was rubbing Law's hair and rocking back and forth. "I made a promise! I made a promise and I couldn't keep it! Torao is dead because of me! I couldn't save my friend! I couldn't save someone I care about!" The other Straw Hats were also crying. Law felt as if he was witnessing something horrible.
"Luffy, we should bury him somewhere," Robin said. She stepped forward only for Luffy to push her away.
"NO! DON'T TOUCH HIM!" Law's heart felt as if it was going to break. "He was my friend...How am I going to live through this?! He trusted me with his life and I wasn't able to help him when he needed me the most!"
The window disappeared along with the scene. "Do you see now? It would've devastated everyone. You are not alone in this world." Law2, Luffy, and Corazon placed a hand on his shoulders. He felt better knowing that he meant something to people. Tears fell down his cheeks as he smiled.
...
Law's eyes opened. He realized that Luffy wasn't there after a moment. He wasn't worried and just sat up. He rubbed his head. It was heavy but he felt better than the day before. Getting up from the bed, Law slowly made his way to the door using the walls.
Getting to the hallway, Law made his way down the hall. He heard shouts and banging as he walked closer to the main room of the sub. He was worried about what could be happening.
"Hand him over!" Law groaned at the sound of Kid's voice. He wasn't in the best shape to be dealing with him. He got to the room and saw some of his crew members unconscious and bleeding. He was still unsteady on his feet.
"Eustass-ya! What are you doing here?" That got the brute's attention. He dropped a white-haired crew member and turned to him. It was unsettling at this time.
"Trafalgar, I was just looking for you." Law backed away as Kid walked toward him. He was worried about his crew. They were hurt and unconscious.
"Why did you attack my crew?" Law continued to back away from him. He was backing his way back to his room. Kid was dangerous at this time and he knew that.
"They wouldn't tell me where you were." He continued to advance on him. "I just want to talk for a bit."
Law took this time to try and run to his room. He was able to get there right as Kid tried to grab him. He slammed the door shut and locked it. Law needed to know where Bepo was. Grabbing a snail from his nightstand, Law heard it ring for a second.
"Captain, is everything okay? What's going on?" Bepo sounded worried. Law was breathing heavily as he tried to catch his breath.
"I'm...trapped in my room. Eustass-ya...is here. He hurt some of the crew." He heard Kid banging on the door.
"Law! Open the door! I just want to talk for a bit! Can't we talk?!" Law stayed near the corner of the room. He was slightly terrified of him entering the room.
"Is Luffy-ya with you?"
"Yes, sir. I took him into town with me so you could get some sleep." He heard Luffy's voice but couldn't make out what he had said. "We're on our way back. Please, hold out until then."
"O-Okay. I can try." The other hung up and Law could only hear Kid's insistent pounding on the door.
"I swear, when I get in there, you will regret not letting me in!" Law brought his knees to his chest as he rocked back and forth. He was beyond terrified. He couldn't use his powers and could barely stand. This wasn't good for him.
Suddenly, it all went quiet. The pounding stopped and it was eerily quiet. Law lifted his head to the door. The knob jiggled a few times before it stopped. His eyes widened in fear as the knob turned and the door was pushed open. He was practically hyperventilating as it slowly creaked open.
"Trafalgar~" He didn't like how the man said his name. "It seems that I have opened it." Law curled up as he heard Kid enter the room and get closer. "What's this? Are you afraid of me?" Law felt him crouch down before him. He was too scared to look up at the man.
Hands grabbed the sides of his face and made him look up. A malicious grin was on Kid's face. "E-Eustass-y-ya, w-what do you w-want?" He quickly regretted saying anything as Kid maneuvered to be in between Law's legs. He had Law pinned against the wall.
"I came to talk. But now, I want something more since you ran from me and locked me out of here." He licked Law's right cheek. He cringed at the feeling. "Why don't you use your powers to get away? Or can you?" Law felt ashamed that Kid was able to see him in his weak state.
He licked from his cheek to his neck and started to nibble on it. Law felt disgusted just like his dream with Doflamingo. He started to push at Kid. "Luffy-ya! Bepo! Help me!" That seemed to anger Kid. He grabbed Law by the front of his shirt and slammed him into the metal wall.
"Shut the fuck up! They ain't coming to help you!" He nuzzled the side of his neck and move his hands to Law's back and down to his lower back. "Nobody is here to help you." Law whimpered. He felt horrible and he wanted the two to help him at the exact moment.
Kid continued to nibble on and lick his neck while his hands moved toward Law's ass. That made him punch out at him but he never connected with anything. His head hurt from Kid making it smack off the wall and his swimming thoughts. "L-Luffy-y-ya...help...me..." Tears fell down his face as Kid started to bite him on his neck. He felt no pleasure, only pain. He felt violated.
Kid started to knead his ass and that made him cry out for Luffy to help him again. Kid slammed him into the wall again with his body this time. "I said to shut the fuck up! I want you to scream my name when you cum!" His hands went to go under the hem of his pants. The tears fell like a waterfall down his face.
Suddenly, Kid was forcefully removed from him. He fell to the side as he curled in on himself. He wrapped his arms around his knees and buried his head into his knees. He blocked out everything else around him.
Why? Why me? Why is it always me? Please, I don't want to go through this anymore. He continued to cry. He was ashamed that he couldn't fight Kid off by himself. He was angry with himself for not being strong enough to fight him off.
A small hand was placed on his arm. It made him jolt from the touch. He was afraid to face Luffy. He didn't want to show him how weak he was. "Torao, are you okay?" He shook his head. He sobbed quietly as he felt Luffy lay down beside him. "Can you look at me?" Law shook his head again. "Why?"
He never answered. Luffy seemed to understand and just wrapped his arms around him. Law continued to cry as Luffy embraced him until his sobbing turned into hiccups. He still didn't look at Luffy. "Do...Do you think...I'm weak?"
"No. You are one of the strongest people I know. Do you think that you are weak?"
"Yes." He never raised his head as he spoke.
"Why?" Law had more tears fall as he remembered just a little bit ago.
"Because I couldn't protect myself." He started to sob again as he spoke. "Because I screamed for help and couldn't fight him off..." He gripped his legs hard enough to almost rip his skin under his pants. "Because I can't help myself in desperate situations..."
Luffy hugged him tighter. "Don't be upset. It isn't your fault." He felt Luffy rub his hand through his hair. "Just because you need help doesn't mean you are weak." Luffy got closer to where he had his chest against Law's arms. "It means that you are strong enough to know that you need help and will call for it."
Hearing that from the other made him cry even more. He knew that Luffy was only trying to help him. It was comforting, yet it was hard to accept. He continued to cry and Luffy stayed with him through all of it. He never asked what had happened to Kid. He didn't care. He was glad that he was gone, though.
After what felt like hours, Law was finally able to stop crying. He felt exhausted and sick. The feeling to throw up was growing by the minute. "Torao, are you okay?" Law finally lifted his head to look at Luffy. He seemed to be worried about him.
Law just shrugged. His eyes started to close after a moment. The sound of the door opening made him raise his head to see Bepo. "Captain, everyone is okay. Some are in the infirmary and are being treated for their wounds." He looked at them. "Do you need help with getting in the bed?" Law shook his head.
"No. I'm going to take a shower before that." He tried to get to his feet but was unsuccessful. He almost hit the ground if it wasn't for Bepo. "I need a shower." He knew his voice didn't sound right. He sounded broken and exhausted.
"Luffy, you're going to go and shower with him. If he needs help, don't hesitate to help him." Law wanted to roll his eyes. He didn't feel up to it, though. "Even if he tells you he doesn't need it, just help him."
"Hey. I'm not a damsel in distress. I can hold my own." Law pushed away from the other. "I'll be fine. Luffy-ya can still come just in case." Luffy seemed to be happy and followed Law out of the room. Bepo helped him to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Law sat in the shower as Bepo turned it on. Law stripped his clothes after a minute. Luffy did the same. Law didn't care about being naked anymore in front of the other. He sat in the shower and let the water flow over him. Luffy sat next to him.
Taking a rag, Law started to wash his body. He scrubbed at his skin. After a minute, he saw nothing but grim on his body. He started to breathe heavily. He scrubbed harder but it still wouldn't come off or go away. He didn't pay attention to Luffy's expression.
"Torao, stop. You're going to hurt yourself." He didn't listen. He kept scrubbing and scrubbing until red mixed with the white suds of the soap and the clear water. "Torao! Stop!" He was forced to stop when Luffy grabbed his arms and held them away from his body.
Looking up, Law saw the terrified and saddened face of his best friend. He looked away. He couldn't bear to see him with that face. It was very similar to the one in his dream. Law didn't want to see that expression again.
After a bit, they finished their shower and Luffy called Bepo in to help Law. They got back to the room and Bepo bandaged him up. "Captain, maybe you should get some more sleep." He gave him another dose of his medicine. "Luffy. You should go to sleep with him as well. Just in case he wakes up and needs something." Luffy nodded and got in bed with him.
Bepo left the room and Law turned away from Luffy. The kid wrapped his arms around him and Law could feel Luffy's heart bear through his shirt. "Torao, please be okay. You are my best friend. Please, get better." Law sighed. He smiled slightly. He placed a hand on Luffy's back as he laid on his chest. He didn't mean to worry the other. It took a few minutes before he fell back to sleep.
