Part 7 of 8
A day when Law had the apartment to himself was a blessing. It was quiet, and he could manage to study or get work done; whatever needed to be done really.
A day when everyone was home but it was quiet was something waiting to happen. It always set Law on edge, and he spent more time anticipating something than he did doing anything he needed to.
Today was one of the latter.
And it was way too fucking quiet.
Law hadn't seen Kid nor Bonney since breakfast when he had retreated to the bedroom to study.
He had assumed they were going to play videogames, yell at each other and generally just be obnoxious, but there hadn't been a single peep from the living room yet.
At first he wasn't too worried. Just because there was no noise now didn't mean there wouldn't be (those two could act like civilized adults when they wanted to).
Then an hour had passed and Law didn't even hear the TV.
He let it go - maybe they were actually acting like human beings for once.
Two more hours passed and he couldn't let it go anymore - there was absolutely no sound other than his own breathing. It was worse on his nerves than horror movies.
So, he trudged out to the living room - if only to see if things really were quiet and he hadn't just gone deaf.
And there was sound.
It was just muffled under every cushion in the place and several layers of sheets.
Had... they really built a fort out of cushions and sheets?
Law stood there for a while, flabbergasted.
"What are you two doing?"
Whatever was making noise inside the fort stopped, and then rustling was heard before the edge of a sheet was lifted and his partners peered up at him with wide grins.
"We're watching movies on Kid's laptop." Bonney cheerfully informed him.
"Inside a fort?" Law was still slightly confused; he felt like the only adult.
"Hell yeah. It's like a personal theater." Kid's answer was matter of fact, as if everyone built forts just to watch movies.
Bonney made grabby hands at him. "Come join us."
"I'm studying."
"You're always studying you nerd. Come watch movies with us."
Law was sure he shook his head no, yet somehow still found himself inside the haphazard fort.
It was dark, and slightly humid, but he was mostly in Kid's lap and Bonney's head was on his, and the movie was actually pretty good.
Eh.
He was comfortable.
Studying could wait an hour (or five).
