Everything Will Be Fine
"Law, can we talk?" Bepo opened the door to Law's bathroom. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Law. The bandages were all over his body. He was getting ready for a shower. Law looked at him with shock. "What happened, Law?"
Law turned around and lowered his head. "Nothing. I have found out that I can't heal myself that well." He started to unravel the bandages. His skin looked as if he tried to scrub it off. It wasn't entirely untrue. He had scrubbed hard enough to hurt himself.
Bepo's face scrunched up. "Law, I know it is nothing. How long have you been like this?" Law still didn't look at him. Tears were escaping his eyes. Bepo could see the small jerks of his body. He was crying.
"I…I feel dirty, Bepo." He slid to the floor in the shower. Law had made it into the tub and turned the water on. He was hissing in pain. It hurt a lot. The cuts and scraps burned.
Taking a seat on the toilet, Bepo leaned back. "What happened?" He wanted to know what had made his friend that desperate to scrub himself raw to get clean. There were a few reasons that Bepo thought of, but he patiently waited for Law to answer.
"I…I was…molested." Bepo could hear the shame in his voice. It wasn't like him to be that way. "It happened…that night."
Anger flared up in his body. Kid had traumatized him. He couldn't believe that he had let it happen. "Where was Luffy?" He knew that Luffy wouldn't have let that happen. Luffy was a person that took care of his friends.
Law took the scrubby and scrubbed his skin hard enough to make it bleed again. "Ace-ya took him home with him. Said that Luffy-ya was supposed to spend the night with him." Law kept his head down. "I should have insisted that Ace-ya came with us. Or I should have asked to go with him." Law pressed his forehead to the wall of the shower.
"It's not your fault. You didn't know." Bepo could feel the stress that he was under. He didn't have the heart to tell Law that he couldn't heal himself until he calmed down and stopped thinking about what made him stressed. Bepo also couldn't tell Law that his aura is stronger when he is drunk. It is hard to resist at that point. He was glad he had held back at the time.
The shower was cut off and Law stepped out. Blood ran down his body as he grabbed a towel. Bepo didn't want to get near for fear he would scare him more than he already was. "I have work today. Will you help me put new bandages on?" Nodding, Bepo helped him dry off and wrapped the cloth around the wounds that he had made. It hurt him to see Law like this.
Law slowly got dressed. Bepo could only watch as he tensed from the wounds. He wanted to help the hurting man. "Tell everyone that I'm heading straight to work." Bepo nodded as Law exited the room. His heart hurt. His dear friend was breaking again. God, please help him. He needs something good in his life.
At the clinic, Law's colleagues stared at his hands. They still had wounds on them. He knew they wouldn't scar but he didn't want anybody to see the raw skin. Monet came up to him with a smile. She was always a difficult person to get along with.
"Hey, Doc. I need your signatures on these." She held out a stack of papers. She reminded him of a woman from the kingdom. It can't be her. She was exiled.
"Of course, Miss Monet." He took the papers. In his office, Law remembered the woman that was exiled. She was wounded and on the verge of death when she was sent out of the kingdom.
Law had taken her in when he found her outside his house. She was breathing heavy and bleeding everywhere. He lifted her body in his arms. The woman had wings for arms. She must be a harpy. He tended to her wounds and watched her progress. Law knew she was the one that the King had exiled. He didn't care. The harpy was hurt and he knew she would have died if he hadn't helped her.
A few days went by and she started to come to. "Excuse me, Miss." She looked at him with cloudy eyes. The expression quickly turned to fear. "Are you alright?"
"Y-You are the d-doctor." She tried to move but Law put his hand on her shoulder. A hiss of pain escaped her lips.
"Please rest. You were badly injured." Law helped her sit up and held a cup to her lips. "Drink up. It will help with the healing process." She hesitantly opened her mouth to receive the medicine. When she was done, Law moved away to finish cooking. "May I ask you your name?"
"M." There was nothing else that came from her mouth. M just sat there eyeing him. "Why are you helping me? I thought you were part of the kingdom."
"You are mistaken. I just take care of people there. I actually live on the outside of the kingdom. You are safe here." He sat in a chair beside the bed. M noticed that he didn't look good.
"How long has it been since you slept?" Law leaned back in thought.
"About a week. If you are worried that you have disrupted my sleep, you don't have to be. You have only been her about three days." M sighed in relief. She then noticed that her wings were gone.
"What happened to my wings? Why do I have arms?"
"I want to send you somewhere away from here. You will be safe from this kingdom and the horrible world here." M looked confused. "Where I am going to send you has humans there. You need to look like one." A nod was his reply. "To keep you safe, I will have to remove some of your memories and give you new ones."
"Will it help me live there?"
"Yes. You will be able to get a job quickly there. You will also not remember me." Her face took a sadden turn. "Please do not be upset. I will remember you." A smile reached his face. "If I so happen to be there, maybe we could be friends."
"We will see. Thank you for what you have done." Law told her that it was nothing and that she needed not to pay. He just wanted to help her escape.
A knock on his office door brought Law out of his memories. "Come in." Smoker entered his office. He seemed a little uncomfortable. "May I help you, Mister Smoker?"
"I would like to thank you for your help. I am now able to be back on the job." He looked down to Law's hands. "What happened?"
"You are very welcome." He threaded his fingers together. "I fell and scraped my hands." Smoker saw the smile falter. Something was off about the man.
"There is something on your mind. You don't seem to be yourself." Law was shocked. Even a stranger could tell that something was off.
"It's fine. Nothing I can't handle." Another doctor slammed the door open. He was panting and looked scared.
"Dr. Trafalgar, we have a problem." Before Law could ask what was wrong, a crash sounded in the main lobby.
Sighing, Law got up and left the room. Smoker followed close behind. In the lobby, Kid was being held down by Killer. Law saw blood splattered around the room. Chopper stood a few feet away from the two. "Chopper-ya, what's wrong?" Smoker blew smoke out his mouth.
"He…He was brought in bleeding excessively from his chest." He slowly made his way to Law. "He was attacked by someone."
Smoker finally realized who the Kid was. "Kid, what the hell happened to you?" He made his way over to the young man. Law followed close behind.
"Hey, Smoker. Nothing really. It hurts like hell though." Law noticed that the wound was close to the heart. He moved in front of Smoker and told Killer to hold the wound with the shirt that was still there.
"Keep pressure on it for now. We need to get that stitched up." Kid looked at Law as Killer brought him to a room.
"Doc. Are you alright?" Kid was staring at Law's hands.
"Yes. I'm fine." Before Kid could say anything else, Law placed two fingers on his forehead and Kid fell back onto the table out cold. Killer saw the whole thing and stared at him.
"What did you do to him?" Killer spoke up. Smoker just entered the room.
"I just put him to sleep. If he moves too much, I won't be able to stitch the wound properly." Law started his work. It seemed that he was able to use his powers on the other. He closed up the deeper part of the wound with his magick and stitched the part on the surface.
Smoker watched him work. There was something different about this man. The main thing was that when Smoker had been treated, he only needed the stitches in for about a week. Normally for a wound like he had, you needed to have the stitches in for three weeks.
"There. I'm all done. He should be up in about an hour." He didn't mention that Kid almost had a punctured lung and had a fractured rib. Law had fixed those with no problem. The process was now taking its toll. He slouched into a chair. He used more than he thought he did.
"What's wrong, Trafalgar?" Smoker stood next to him. He placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Just exhausted." Killer stood up to leave.
"Do you need anything, Doc?" Killer waited for a reply. He thought that it would be nice since there had been something wrong with him the day before.
"A coffee would be nice. Black." With a nod, the other left the room. Smoker took his leave too. Law was all alone with Kid. For some reason, Law didn't feel scared to be around him anymore. He still remembered what he did but what he had said the day before made him question something. Did he not remember what he did?
Killer arrived twenty minutes later. He sat in a chair next to the table and stared at Law. He had a few questions for the doctor. "Doc, what happened Saturday night?"
Feeling better, Law sighed. "I finally feel better. It seems that he doesn't remember what he did." Killer cocked his head to the side. "He molested me while drunk."
"I'm sorry about that. He normally doesn't do things like that." Killer looked at his friend.
"It's okay. I was trying to avoid him because the sight of him made me uncomfortable. Now, I can forgive him." He took another sip of his coffee.
"What are you, Doc?" Law knew that Killer was going to ask him about what he had done. No human can put a person to sleep that fast.
"If I tell you, you can't tell anyone else." Killer nodded. "I am what you humans call a wizard. I can do magick." He asked Killer for his hand which he reluctantly gave to him. "Do you have a weapon of any kind?" The masked man gave him a pocketknife. "Watch closely." He made a cut going down the hand. Blood pooled in it. Concentrating his magick, Law was able to make the blood go back into the wound and close it up.
Taking his hand from Law, Killer looked it over. He was in awe of what he had witnessed. "That is amazing. Are there more people like you?" Law shook his head.
"There are few of us that use their magick for good. I am the only one where I come from that knows how to heal wounds with magick." Law looked over at Kid. He was still sound asleep. "Don't even tell him. Most wizards and witches are in this world because they were exiled from the other world." He sighed. "I am here because I ran away."
Killer chuckled. "And I thought you were a good kid." Law sent a glare at him. "Don't be upset. You give off an air that makes people calm down and relax. I can see why Kid likes you." Law thought back to what Hancock had said about his ability.
"It's all about being a doctor. You're not supposed to scare your patients." A smile was placed on his lips. He didn't like to scare his patients. The doctor continued to drink his coffee. Killer was a lot more calm about knowing what he was. He didn't have to worry about him telling anyone anything.
After a few hours, Law entered the room that held Kid. Killer had fallen asleep and Kid seemed to be waking up. "Good evening, Kid-ya. Are you feeling alright?" He made his voice low as to not wake Killer.
Kid rubbed his eyes only to wince in pain when he noticed his chest. "It hurts a little." He was still a little out of it. He turned to Law only for his eyes to grow wide. "Doc, how are you?"
"I am doing fine." Law took a clipboard over to Kid. He started to check things off. "You seem to be better than when you entered the clinic." Kid still stared at him. The bandages were still on Law's hands.
"Law, what happened Saturday night? Did I do something wrong?" Law sighed. He had to tell Kid. The only person he wouldn't tell was Luffy. He was attack him no matter what he said.
"We went drinking and met Ace-ya at the bar. He came in and drank with us." He had an expression that was like a parent scolding a child. "You decided to drive even though you were drunk enough to be swaying as bad as Ace-ya was." Kid's face turned red from embarrassment. "You didn't take me home but a little ways away." He was quiet and looked Kid in the eyes before he said the next part. "You molested me while I was asleep."
"I-I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Kid rubbed the back of his head. Law could tell he was being sincere.
"You were drunk. I blame the alcohol. I hurt myself when walking home. I fell because I was a little tipsy and scraped my hands on the ground." Law didn't tell him the truth. He didn't want to worry him and make him even more guilty.
"Did you get hurt anywhere else?" Kid sounded hurt. He felt bad for doing what he did.
"No. My hands will be fine in a few days. Don't worry." Law looked back at the board. "You are free to go. I can't believe that I needed to put more stitches in you. Come back in five days and I'll take them out." Kid nodded and woke Killer up. They left the clinic. Kid said nothing when he left. The other doctors looked on in awe. That was new.
TTTTTT
I will have chapters where Law hangs out with each character. Next is Luffy. Some of you are asking for LawLu. I want to let everyone know that Law is the bottom of the couple that I choose. I like Law being the bottom. For some reason, Law gives off the vibe of being bottom. I like that everyone is enjoying the story. I really appreciate the encouragement that you all give me. It makes me so happy. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Have a good day.
