Before I start the chapter, quick note from me. I've made a mistake with the bloody suffix. So from now on Law will end Straw Hat with a 'ya' not a 'yo'. I'm sorry if I've annoyed anyone in making this mistake... But we all learn from our mistakes and the problem will be fixed! Thank-you guys for telling me! Enjoy the next chapter! :3
Chapter Seven - What Went On Last Night?
The next morning was a cold drizzly one. The sunny had moved from the hot, summer weather into the miserable, rainy autumn day. Almost everyone was sound asleep inside, exhausted from the partying the night before. All their bodies were entwined in a huge lump and a dominant sound of snoring filled the room and fought against the pitter-patter of the rain on the deck.
Zoro let out a huge yawn as he rolled over and half opened his eyes to thick blonde hair covering his face. He moved back slightly and rubbed his eyes to focus on the object in front of him. Sanji was comfortably curled up in a ball close to Zoro with a sleepy smile on his face. Did they fall asleep curled up with each other? Zoro wondered as he tried to silently stand up with out awakening the dumb cook as he did so, Sanji began to shiver. Zoro tutted to himself as he whipped of his jacket and lay it snug over Sanji to keep him warm. He stretched his arms up above his head and cracked his back before wobbling out of the snore infested room to find a quieter place to nap.
Law looked up from under his hat and watched the swordsman make his way out of the room, clumping his heavy boots on the wooden floor. Were they in the same situation he was? Law shook of the idea, this wasn't the time to be thinking about other people's love affairs. He readjusted his hat as he sprung up out of his uncomfortable slouch against the wall and made his way toward the exit. The only thought in Law's mind was about last night. Law pressed his fingers against his lips as he remembered the soft tough of Luffy's against his, the kiss was hot and passionate. It was a kiss like he'd never had before, it actually meant something. Law let out a deep sigh and scratched the back of his head. Was this really a good idea? After all, they are rivals in the new world, the alliance it's self is risky but falling for him that's just-. Law didn't want to think about it.
"Oi! Luffy!" A roar came out of the kitchen above Law's head that caught his attention. " What do ya' think you're doing! The shitty cook's gonna flip!"
In the kitchen, Luffy had raided all the cupboards and the fridge, there was nothing left but spices and herbs which Luffy was now turning to.
"I've never seen you eat so much!" Zoro exclaimed in fear as he backed away from the young teenager "And that's saying something!" Zoro dodged a flying glass container that had been emptied by Luffy.
"What's gotten into you?!" Zoro shielded his self with a chair as he made he way forward to punch Luffy on the head. A big red lump appeared on top of Luffy's head and he stopped eating as he looked up at Zoro with tearful eyes.
"Zoroo!" Luffy wailed out " I messed everything up!" Luffy slumped into the table, squishing his face and letting the bulge of his big belly turn back into his well toned abs.
"What do ya' mean" Zoro huffed as he slumped down next to him.
A loud yawn appeared from behind Law. It was Sanji, wrapped up in Zoro's coat with an annoyingly pleased look on his face.
"Oh, you're awake then, Law?" Sanji noticed as he wondered up to the heart captain.
"More than ya' don't ya' think?" Law stated as Sanji let out another yawn.
"You seen moss head around?" Sanji asked coolly while ruffling his hair.
"He's givin' Straw-Hat ya' a talk about somethin'" Sanji looked at Law in confusion. "Best not interrupt." Law stated to him as he wondered further down deck as Sanji followed with interest.
"Oi. did something happen?" He called out to Law who had already taken a seat on top on the lion's head. "Why'd you wanna sit out here in the rain?" Sanji muttered to him self.
"Hey! Don't you wanna go inside or something?" Sanji complained as he took a seat next to Law in the pouring rain.
"Go back in if ya' don't like it. I never asked ya' to follow me." Law replied grumpily as he pulled his hat down to cover his eyes.
"So?" Sanji covered the end of his cigarette as he placed it into his mouth. "You wanna tell me what happened?" Sanji lit his cigarette and sucked in on it, breathing out a large amount of smoke, which dissolved into the hard rain falling on them.
" Nee, Zoro.." Luffy mumbled as he turned his resting face on the side to look down the table at Zoro, who was also resting on the table, trying to take a nap.
"What is it, Luffy?" He grunted back as he opened one eye, to stop himself from falling asleep.
"Have you.. ever.. you know.." Luffy looked back down at the face of the table in embarrassment. He'd never had a talk about feeling like this before, would Zoro understand?
"Have I ever what, Luffy?"
"To spare you the details." Law leaned back to lay down and look up an the emotionless sky above "Me an Luffy-"
"You know.. " Luffy trailed off again.
"Kissed.." the two lovers explained in unison to their audience
"..a guy before?" Luffy finished his sentence and his face became redder. Zoro's face dropped. Innocent little Luffy..gah. What should he say, should he mention about him and the cook?
Sanji's cigarette fell out of his mouth as he turned to stone in shock. Did Luffy and Law..
"Just what the hell went on last night?!" they both cried in astonishment.
"Jeez. calm down man. It's only a peck on the lips ya' know. Nothin' to cry 'bout." Law murmured as Sanji came back to his senses. He took out another cigarette and lit it as he thought to him self.
"So what do you think of our little captain then?" Sanji teased Law as he sucked in on his cigarette.
"Look, I'm not havin' no touchy-feely conversation about my feelin's and shit with you." Law glared at Sanji.
"Wow. I was only asking a question. Wont hurt to answer it." Sanji flicked Law hat up off his head, expecting him to get annoyed as he slumped it back on his head but, he didn't react as he expected. Law covered his eyes with his arm across his face and remained silent for a while.
"I don't want to answer that." Law whispered.
"Eh?"
"So?"
"Well- I.. I.." Zoro fumbled with his words, trying to decide which answer is better. Should he tell Luffy? He looked over at the teenager, he was awaiting Zoro's reply and paying close attention to him. Luffy was defiantly distressed about this whole situation.
Zoro let out a hard sigh as he sat up properly in his chair, and tried to fight away his blushing cheeks.
"Yeah."
Luffy sprung up straight on his seat.
"And, what happened? Did anything bad happen, Zoro!?" Luffy tugged on Zoro's shirt hastily wanting to get as much explanation as possible.
"Well, nothing really.." Zoro folded his arms. should he say things got awkward? " I suppose as long as both ends wanted it to happen, it should be fine."
"Ehh?" Luffy flattened and floated back down to slump on the table "That's what the problem is~" Luffy groaned as he remembered how he forced the kiss on Law.
"What do you mean you don't want to answer it?" Sanji spurted out "It's a simple question! Don't like him or not!" Sanji's voice grew louder in his annoyance.
"It's not a simple answer as it is a question ya' know." Law gritted his teeth. "What 'bout you huh? Do ya' like that swordsman or not?"
"Oi! What sort of a-" Sanji was interrupted.
"Well." Law stayed silent, waiting to see if it was as easy as the cook made it out to be.
"Uh." Sanji sighed. "Unfortunately I like that damn moss head more than I wish I do." Sanji admitted as Law slammed his hand down to push him self up.
"How can you say that so casually?!" Law shouted
"Look, Luffy" Zoro calmed his voice to a soft tone "I don't know what went on between you and Law last nigh but-"
"How'd you know it was with Trafalg -guy!" Luffy butted in with embarrassment. Zoro ignored Luffy's comment and over ruled him with a louder voice.
"BUT- If you feel guilty apologise. And if you like him.." Luffy raised his head again, slowly as he listened into Zoro's advice.
"Why can't you?" Sanji questioned as he took another breath of his cigarette. Law regained his cool and looked out into the ocean.
"We're rivals. If I admit I have any feelin's.." Law trailed off, trying to find out the right words
"It's as if you lost to him. Am I right?" Sanji blew out another puffy of smoke as Law realised Sanji completely understood the situation. He grew a slight smile as he looked back at Sanji who was standing up.
"Well I've had enough of this rain." He complained as he through his cigarette in the sea and turned to walk away.
"I should thank ya'." Law told Sanji as he began to walk away
"No need." Sanji raised his hand as he walked away. Law knew that thinking any deeper would just complicate things. They would stay exactly as they were.
"Knock-knock" Sanji announced as he tapped on the door to enter the kitchen. "Oi, Luffy there's-" Sanji stopped mid sentence as he took in his surroundings.
"You stupid idiot " He cried "You've eaten everything!" Sanji dotted from cupboard to cupboard, in and out of the storage room, fridge and freezer but there was nothing. No food what's so ever.
"WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!?" Sanji yelled out in rage as he kicked Luffy in the face. The force of his kick was so strong it sent Luffy flying out of the kitchen, through the deck and passed Law, sat on the head of the boat.
"Woah.. Trafalg-guy help" Luffy grabbed onto Law before he had even realised what was going on. Law tumbled over to the edge of the head whilst keeping hold of Luffy's hand.
"Ahh, that was close!" Luffy giggled as he hung over the sunny, above the new ocean waiting to gobble him up.
"Thank-you, Trafalg- guy!" Luffy pulled a cheeky grin held tighter onto his hand.
"Nee, you want to pull me up any time soon?" Luffy asked in a childish tone as he stayed swinging above the angry waves.
"Nah. Ya' look cute from this angle, Straw Hat ya' '" Law teased as he gave Luffy's hand a slight push to the side to make his swing more.
"Oi, oi! Trafalg- guy! Pull me up!" Luffy struggled as he looked below him at the cold sea. "I'm sorry for yesterday if this is what it's about but please pull me up!" Luffy cried apologetically.
"An' who said I wanted an' apology?" Law stated as he grinned down at Luffy. " Ya' taught me a lesson Straw Hat ya' " Law began to whisper as he pulled Luffy up.
"Wanna teach me another one?" Law voice was smooth and glided down Luffy's ear as he whispered With his hand now on the sunny's head, Luffy hauled himself up, wrapping his spare hand around Laws neck, bringing him closer to Luffy. He pushed up and landed on his knees over Law's body, one of them in-between Law's parted legs. He was held up by Luffy's hand around the back of his head. They both looked into each other's eyes for a moment, each could tell how much the other one wanted this to happen.
Luffy leaned in closer to Law with a slightly open mouth as Law wrapped his arms around Luffy to pull him in closer.
"I love you" Luffy whispered as their lips touched.
This kiss was different from the previous one. Whether it was the rain pouring on top of them, or the loving mood they were both in; the kiss was calm and loving.
This kiss had even more meaning than before.
Law pulled Luffy closer in as he begged for more. Luffy's tongue slipped into Law's mouth as he did the same. Luffy tugged on Law's hair as the motion became quicker, Law gripped tightly onto Luffy red jacket, almost ripping it.
Suddenly, Luffy stopped and pulled away from Law. He rolled over and settled down next to Law as he looked up at the sky. Law slowly sat up and crossed his legs over as his face became more red, hoping Luffy would't see.
Luffy Licked his lips clean, which didn't help law's situation out at all.
"The sun's come out." Luffy calmly stated as it shone onto both of them as it made it's way out from behind the clouds. He looked back at Law who was sat in an awkward position.
"Maybe next time" Luffy teased as he reached over to grab Law's hat and gently plopped it back onto his head. He stood up to match the new sun light, patted Law on the head and skipped off.
"See you when you've calmed down, Trafalg-guy!" Luffy giggled happily to him self as he went to meet the awakening crew.
Gah. So, that took like forever to write. All I could think about whilst writing this was that kiss in the rain~ It took the hell out of me writing this chapter, with two conversations going on at one -.- So, let me know if you liked the touchy-feely stuff or not? I felt like there had to be SOME emotion put in there. This is also totally new to me, as some may know, so describing the kiss if kinda've difficult so if anyone has any tips, much appreciated!
Much Love ~ :3
P.S. Sorry it took a while to come out, I've had my hands full with too many things at once! 3
