LawLu 30 Day Prompt

A/N: Thank you guys for actually staying with this drabble-thing so far! XD :'D

11: Bathing Together
Warnings: none.

It was true that both Law and Luffy had a platonic relationship. They cuddled, they held hands, and on the rare occasion they would give each other a very quick kiss on the cheek. (This mostly happened when they were parting ways and knew they wouldn't be seeing each other for, most likely, months.) There were never any sexual hints, no groping, nothing like that. And that's how they preferred it.

So you can understand why Law suddenly felt a little caught off guard – and quite possibly a little self conscious – when Luffy burst into the bathing room one hot afternoon stark naked screaming, "Bath time with Toraooo!"

The surgeon automatically lowered himself farther into the clear water in a vain attempt to hide himself. The straw-hatted teen rushed towards the bath, slipping on the wet floor and crashing into the side of the tub with a giant smile on his face. "Luffy-ya, what are you doing in here?" Law asked with a small frown. "Have you never heard of privacy before?"

"Shishishi, it's fine! We're boyfriends after all!" the teen goofily grinned as he lowered himself into the water, snuggling himself next to the surgeon. Law tried to push the teen away, finding the entire situation both awkward and embarrassing, and fought down a blush that threatened to spread across his cheeks.

"If you insist on getting in too, go sit on the other side!"

"No, I want to cuddle!"

"Do you not even realize that we are both naked?"

"So?"

A silence fell between the two, and Law suddenly thought himself insane for entering a relationship with the straw-hatted teen. But he supposed that when you fell in love with someone, it meant accepting everything about them; their flaws, their unique traits, their perfections, their insatiable appetite, their naivety, their innocence, their insanity—everything. Still, that didn't make him any more happy; especially when Luffy got a hold of him and plopped down in the surgeon's naked lap.

Law decided in that moment that he had never felt more uncomfortable in his entire life.

He squirmed beneath the teen's weight as Luffy leaned into his chest; his wild black hair tickling the surgeon's nose. "Luffy-ya…" Sensing that his loved one wasn't enjoying the moment, Luffy looked up and saw the unease in those hypnotizing gold eyes. Eyes that were looking at everything in the room but him.

"Shishishi, sorry Torao," he said, scooting off the surgeon who suddenly remembered how to breathe again. He picked up the soap and scrub brush, holding it out to the surgeon with a large smile. "Can you wash my back?"

Law took the brush and soap with a quiet nod. They sat in a comfortable silence for a while, enjoying each other's presence. That is, until Luffy had to go and ruin it by talking. "Shishishi! You know, you look cute when you blush~!"

And that was the day Luffy nearly drowned in the bathtub.

A/N: Let's all sit here a moment and enjoy the fact that I totally ignored the fact that Akuma no Mi users loose their strength while taking baths. XD But yep, Law tried to drown Luffy. He doesn't take to being embarrassed well. I think if he were to have a platonic relationship with Luffy, Law would be sorta shy around compliments and such. He's the type of person who'll cut your head off and Shamble your body if you make him blush too much with so many compliments. XD

Your shy ice elemental,
