The Sunny rocked gently on the night waves. Inside, her inhabitant's rested and their Captain laid in his quarter with their guest, singing along to a TD. Which Law thought was slightly ridiculous, since Brook was on the ship and would probably play whatever Luffy wanted, whenever he wanted. Never the less, Law found himself humming almost silently to the ballet version of Bink's Brew. He knew the song as well as any other sailor but had come to understand that it held a particularly special place near the musician's metaphorical heart and therefore the entire crew as well.

He paused in his reading, truly listening for a moment. Listened to Luffy sing. He reached out and pressed the apex of the dial, stopping the song. Luffy continued to sing through the next verse. It wasn't until he noticed Law's gaze did he stop.

"Hey, why'd you stop it?" Luffy sat up on the bed.

"You can sing." Law said, some amazement in his voice.

"Duh, I just was." He laid back down. "Anyone can."

"No," Law corrected. "Though, I guess that doesn't stop some from trying." He stood from the desk. "I mean you can really sing. In time with the music and on key."

Luffy contemplated this. "I guess. But you should hear Brook! He can sing so awesome! This one time-"

Law sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over Luffy, smothering him lightly. "I've heard Brook. I hear him every day, whether I want to or not." He pulled away with Luffy giggling. "I was talking about you."

Luffy bit the inside of his cheek. "Yeah..."

"I like the way you sing." Law leaned down and whispered against Luffy's ear.

"I wanna hear Traffy sing."

Law pulled away frowning. "No you don't..."

"Come on, sing Bink's Brew with me."

"No."

"You know the words, right?" Luffy started to reach for the tone dial but Law stopped him. Now Luffy was frowning. Law sighed.

"Ok, but you can't interrupt me and this is the only time I'm going to do this, ok?"

Luffy sat up and moved to sit a little closer to Law. He watched as Law first looked down at his hands then back up at him before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes. When Law sang, it was in a language Luffy had never heard before. Law's deep voice rang through him, struck the cords on his heart like a harp, and echoed in his mind, a bell ringing out the ocean's sorrow. The song was soft but somehow sad. It made Luffy want to pull Law close and never let him go. He watched Law's face the entire time. He watched his cheek twitch with sadness, tears gather in his eyes; he watched as he tried not to clench his jaw through a line filled with deep emotion. Luffy bit his lip and forced himself to stay still like he promised but he found his hand leaving his lap and taking Law's. He barely stuttered over a word when he felt Luffy take his hand.

As he slowed his voice and closed the song, he opened his eyes to find Luffy kissing him. The teen pushed him back on to the bed. He kissed away the tears before they had a chance to fall. He honestly never wanted to hear the song or Law sing again. The memory was burned into him now.

He kissed the doctor once more before pulling back and resting their foreheads against each other. "What were you talking about before?"

Law laughed. "I find your singing attractive." He sat up and pulled Luffy into his lap. "But I think I have had enough for tonight. I might murder your skeleton if he wakes me tomorrow."

"Whhhaaa?! No, I need Brook! What if wake you up?"

"Without singing?"

"Maybe..."

~ Came from the idea that what if Luffy actually had an amazing singing voice, and it's nice to learn something new about your loved ones ~
