Time With Luffy
It was Saturday again. Law was sitting in the library of the house. He had found a book that could further his education in the world of medicine and being a doctor. The house was quiet and made him wonder where everybody was.
"Torao! Where are you?" The sound of Luffy's voice made him flinch. It came from nowhere and scared him.
"I'm in the library." Luffy cautiously opened the door. He knew better than to burst into the room. Bepo and Law had gotten onto him for doing that. They had told him that the room was meant for peace and quiet, not loudness and rowdiness.
"Whatcha doin'?" Luffy lay down on the couch across from Law. He seemed bored.
"Reading about medicine. What are you studying in college?" He knew Luffy would get bored if he talked about the book. It was just how the man was. Law didn't mind it. That made Luffy who he was.
"Oh yeah. I never told you. I'm going to college to be a mechanic like Kid. He helps me sometimes when I don't understand some things." Luffy played with his hair. Law noticed that Luffy's straw hat was on his chest.
"That's good." Law turned the page and went back to reading. Luffy didn't leave and made Law a slight bit uncomfortable. "Is there something you wanted, Luffy-ya?"
"Not really. I just wanted to see if you want to go to the Fair tonight." Law looked at him puzzled. What is a fair? Luffy noticed the other's expression. "What's wrong?"
"Do you mind telling me what a 'fair' is?" Luffy's jaw dropped. It was an amusing face.
"A Fair is a place people go to have fun. It's Saturday night and they give you a bracelet that lets you ride any ride you want to." Law listened with interest. He liked the sound of it.
"It sounds like fun. When should we go?" Luffy stuck his tongue out and had a thoughtful expression.
"We get the bracelets at 11:00 p.m. What time is it now?" Law looked at his watch.
"It's about 8:00." He looked out the window at the darkness. It reminded him of the forest back home. It was a nice place to go at night. Even though there were werewolves there. He had made friends with them when he was little and wondered off from home.
"We can start heading there in two hours. For now, what do you want to do?" Luffy had sat up on the couch and pulled his legs to his chest. He reminded Law of a child.
"We can go to the garden for a bit. Where is everybody else?" Law just realized that this is the first time he had seen at least one of his housemates since breakfast. Law waited for Luffy to talk.
"Robin went to work, Sanji is out with Nami, Franky is fixing Zoro's motorcycle, Zoro is in his room sleeping, Usopp is in his workshop, and Chopper went out with a girl." Luffy smiled. "She really likes him."
"Sounds like everyone is busy." Law set his book down. Standing, Law went over to Luffy and held out his hand. "I have some things that I planted in Bepo's garden. Let's go check on them." Luffy took his hand and walked with him.
The entire time they walked, Luffy's face was a bright red. Law didn't notice because his back was to him. Luffy was grateful. The walk to the garden was short. Getting to Law's little garden took some time.
Law knew it was his garden when he saw the glowing blue roses. He let Luffy's hand go to check on the plants there. Luffy stood off to the side. He had never seen a blue rose, let alone a glowing blue rose. It was fascinating.
"Why is the rose glowing?" Luffy walked up behind Law to watch him work.
"The moonlight is what makes the rose glow. It is a blue moonlight rose. It is very rare to come by." Law softly touched one of the flowers. "They are able to grow in any condition as long as you take care of them."
"When did you plant them?" Luffy went and touched one of the roses. He froze once he touched the rose. It was warm despite the cold temperature outside.
"I planted them a few days after I got here. They grow fast." Law noticed that Luffy was touching one of the flowers. He couldn't tell him how they actually grew so fast. His arm still hurt even though it had been at least a month before.
"You are just like Bepo. He has such nice roses." Luffy stared at the roses. There was something that they reminded him of. He looked back at Law and stared into his eyes. In his eyes was the feeling of warmth. He knew Law wasn't always polite but he had a good heart. Luffy had a feeling that something was off about Law. He had a feeling that Law wasn't telling everyone what was going on with him.
A smile made its way on Law's face. "Bepo always had looked up to me as a older brother. He always wanted to be like me." He frowned a little bit. "I'm glad he didn't become just like me." Luffy caught the last comment. It was whispered but he still heard it.
For a little while, Law and Luffy watered the roses. It was a fun thing to do and Luffy got to touch the warm roses some more. It was different from Bepo's roses. The others were cool to the touch and Law's were warm.
"Would you look at the time? It's ten already." Law was looking at his watch. Luffy walked up beside him.
"We should head over there." Law nodded and the two went back inside to change. They got wet while watering the plants.
Law put on a black long-sleeve, pale blue pants with dots on them, and a sweater. It wasn't cold enough for a jacket, but it was for a sweater. It was the tan one that Nami had picked out. Law also picked up his hat to wear. He slipped on his boots as he walked past his door.
Luffy was waiting down by the door as he came down the stairs. "Ready? We have to walk." Law nodded and went out with him. It was a chilly night and Luffy stayed close to Law.
Once they made it to the Fair, Luffy walked over to the booth. It was 11:23 so the bracelets were being sold. "I would like two." The woman smiled at them and told Luffy the price. He paid and stuck out his hand. Law did the same.
"Now we can go on any ride." Luffy beamed up at him. Taking Law's hand, Luffy guided Law around the park. They went on roller coasters, spinning rides, and many others.
"What is that called?" Law pointed to the one that looked like a wheel. Luffy grinned.
"That's the Ferris Wheel. Do you want to ride it?" Law nodded and Luffy helped him maneuver around the grounds. There were a lot of people there that night.
Once they were inside one of the car, Law watched out the window as they ascended into the air. "This is amazing. I've never ridden one of these before." Luffy thought the face that Law was making was adorable. He had never seen him make that expression.
Luffy moved to sit beside Law. "Sanji said that he had taken a few girls in one of these." Law knew what Luffy was talking about. When a man and woman were alone, things happened.
"You don't have to tell me. It's fine." Law felt a weight on his shoulder. "Are you alright, Luffy-ya?" He didn't look away from the sight outside the window.
"It's cold." Law didn't bother him and let him lay there. The heat from the smaller one was putting him to sleep.
Dozing off, Law felt Luffy move. He looked down sleepily at him and saw the big eyes staring back at him. "Luffy-ya?" He didn't expect what happened next. Luffy pressed his lips to Law's in a gentle kiss. It was brief and unexpected. Luffy was smiling after. Law's foggy mind tried to register what had happened.
"We're fixing to get back down. You seem to be tired so we'll go home." Luffy seemed to brush off what he did. It was still stuck in Law's mind. It was a lot nicer than the one he had last weekend. The other one was forced and aggressive. Luffy's was gentle and sweet. His mind was jumbled.
Once they were back on the ground, Law's face was bright red. Luffy thought it was a nice sight. He couldn't help but be giddy. He had made Law blush. It suited him.
"L-Luffy-ya?" They were walking home. Luffy was right beside Law, holding him up from falling to the ground. The time that they spent out had exhausted him.
"Yes?"
"What w-was that f-for?" Luffy grinned. Law couldn't see the other's face because his sight was going in and out of focus and that he was beside him.
"What do you mean?" Law could tell even through the haze in his head that Luffy was playing innocent.
"The k-kiss. W-What was t-that about?" It was cold and Luffy was warm. He leaned in more onto Luffy. "S-Sorry."
"S'okay. I kissed you because I wanted to." Law's face turned redder. Luffy frowned when they came in view of the house. The blue sports car in front of it meant that his brothers were there.
"Does anyone know where Luffy is?" Law could hear a voice that was familiar. He couldn't place it though.
"I'm right here." The two walked through the door. It was bright and made Law groan. The light was bothersome.
"Luffy! Law? What's wrong with him?" Law closed his eyes when Luffy stopped walking. He was thankful that they stopped because he was too tired to keep going.
"He's tired. We went to the Fair. I guess that he wasn't ready for having as much fun as he did." The sound of Luffy's voice made Law smile just a little.
"S'okay, Luffy-ya. I h-had a g-great t-time." A hand found its way onto his forehead. He didn't look to see who it was and really didn't care.
"He had a fever. Luffy, he needs to get to bed." Arms wrapped around his back and legs. As he was lifted up, Luffy let go of him. The kid made a sound of disappointment. "I'll take him to bed. He should rest."
With no further interruptions, Law was carried up the stairs and to his room. He was set down on the bed. Someone removed his boots and hat. They covered him up and they stayed there for a bit.
"You are such an important person in Luffy's life. I can see why he likes you." He could hear the smile in the other's voice. "You are slightly sick but I know you will get better." A kiss was placed on his lips. Law's eyes were still closed and he just let them kiss him. He was too tired to tell them not to. "Goodnight, Law. Please get better." With that, the other left Law to fall into a peaceful slumber. Tonight was one of the best nights I have had in a long time. I think I'm going to be okay, Dad. Hope you and Lami are okay too, Mom.
