Chapter 21

Law

Dec 25th

"My family is very kind. There is no need to be nervous." He comforted Luffy, who was staring out of the passenger window with furrowed eyebrows. His family was kind, most of them. There was only family member he'd been dreading Luffy meeting, and thankfully his mother had confirmed that his uncle wouldn't be attending Christmas this year.

His poor lover was already strung out as it was; there was no need to mention an eccentric uncle who wouldn't even make it to the Christmas dinner tonight. "What if they don't think I'm fit to be with you? I work at a coffee shop, and you are a surgeon. What if they think I'm after your money?" Luffy's eyes widened, and he wondered what other unsettling thoughts were going through Luffy's head.

"My family won't care what you do, or who you are. You are the first lover I have brought home. The only lover I've ever had, and I know my parents will love you. They've been asking me about my love life for the last few years. They'll be thrilled to see that I am settling down." He could only imagine his parent's excitement at meeting Luffy; he'd kept their relationship a secret.

His parents thought he was coming home alone again, and even if they didn't like Luffy for whatever reason he'd just cut them out of his life. If they couldn't accept Luffy then they would just have to live without him. "Okay I trust you, w-will you just not leave me alone?" Luffy stuttered, and he reached over to rub Luffy's arm soothingly.

"I'll be right next to you the whole time, don't worry love. You will do great." He smiled confidently, truly believing his words. Luffy would do amazing with his family, if he'd had any doubt he'd have never brought Luffy to his meet them. "Are we almost there?" Luffy smiled back, his voice still laced with worry.

"Another hour of driving, but the dinner isn't until six so we will stop by my house to drop off our luggage and freshen up before going." He looked at the clock; they had plenty of time to waste.
Hopefully Luffy would be able to calm down once they were out of the car.

..

They arrived to his house a little over an hour later, and it took only a few minutes to carry their suit cases in from the trunk of his car. Neither he nor Luffy had packed much, other than clothes and essentials they didn't have much to bring.

Luffy was stuffing his clothes into the empty dresser in their bedroom, and he walked into the bathroom tiredly. The drive always seemed longer than it actually was, and he looked into the mirror contemplating the dark bags under his eyes. They seemed a little lighter, it must be from coming home every night to sleep with Luffy. He no longer pulled all-nighters at work; his mom was definitely going to enjoy that.

After washing his face off, he walked out to find an empty room. Where had Luffy gone? "Luffy?" He called, not receiving an answer. He sighed, and started to look around hoping Luffy hadn't gone off to mope. He had only wanted to create a good memory with Luffy, not cause his lover to stress out.

When the first few rooms came up empty he grew a little worried, but it didn't last long as he opened the room to his previous surgery room. Luffy was sitting on the make shift surgery bed, eyes closed as if he was lost in thought.

"Luffy." He called, and Luffy slowly opened his eyes. "I was just thinking." Luffy murmured before he could question what he was doing. "Thinking of?" He asked, and walked over, standing between Luffy's open legs. "About what you've done in here, about what we are going to do in here." Luffy's eyes sparkled in anticipation.

"Oh yeah, and how does that make you feel?" He smiled mischievously, placing one hand on Luffy's thigh. He briefly thought of the last time he'd asked that question, in this exact room. So much had changed since then.

Luffy's eyes flickered down to his hand before a wide smile spread across his face. "It makes me feel longing," Luffy started, grabbing his hand and pulling it up to rest over the growing bulge in Luffy's pants, "I wish I had been here to see it." Luffy finished with a whisper.

A strange feeling filled his chest as Luffy replied exactly the same as he had in the past, something about Luffy remembering their first encounter in this room filled him with a crushing joy. He pressed his hand down experimentally, enjoying Luffy's hiss of pleasure.

This time around he could act on his instincts. He didn't have to worry about how he touched Luffy anymore; in fact he knew Luffy enjoyed his touches. Another thought that filled him with joy. "Law, I want-." Luffy reached for his pants, tugging at the waist band.

"I want it to, but we have to go to dinner." He mumbled, listening to his voice of reason. If he took Luffy now, they'd miss dinner. If he started, he wasn't sure he'd be able to stop until they were both sweating messes.

"Please, just a little." Luffy begged, unbuckling his pants hastily. His voice of reason was quickly fading, a little bit of relief for both of them couldn't hurt. Perhaps it would even relax Luffy. "We can't go all the way." He reminded Luffy, giving in and quickly unbuckling his own pants.

Once both of their members were released from the confines of pants and boxers he reached up and grabbed Luffy by the waist, pulling them closer together. A spark of pleasure shot through him as their forming erections slid against each other.

"I don't have lube." He grunted in annoyance, grabbing both of their members with his dry hand. "Spit." Luffy moaned, wrapping arms around his neck. "Shit, Law hurry up and just use spit." Luffy grumbled, and he smiled at his lover's impatience.

He did as Luffy commanded, spitting a good amount of spit on the palm of his hand before reaching down once against and wrapping his hand against both of their members. The spit wasn't as slick as lube and made the friction of his palm rougher, sending waves of pleasure through him.

He moved his hand slowly, enjoying the way he slid so lewdly against Luffy. It didn't take long for Luffy to reach down. "Faster." Luffy groaned, knocking his hand away. His arousal grew at the aggressiveness and Luffy quickly replaced his hand with his own, he moaned at the fresh slickness of Luffy's palm.

When had Luffy spit on his hand? The thought quickly drifted away as Luffy started to stroke them with a much quicker pace. He knew he wouldn't last long, but he wasn't embarrassed about it. Luffy looked just as pent up as he had been, probably more.

He spit on his hand again, placing it over Luffy's smaller hand. He kept up with Luffy's pace, but added more pressure causing both of them to moan in unison. "Law I won't last long." Luffy panted. "I'm close too." He breathed, and leaned forward to capture Luffy's lips.

Luffy kissed him back messily, his hand faltering for a second. He tightened his hand even more, and sucked Luffy's tongue into his mouth when Luffy gasped in pleasure. The taste of Luffy was exquisite, and he couldn't help but suck on the muscle in his mouth for a moment.

Drool slid down his chin at the treatment, and he unwillingly let go of Luffy's tongue. Luffy broke away from the kiss with a loud smack, his head falling down to rest on his shoulder. "Cum. I'm going to cum." Luffy whined, his hand quickening.

The added speed caused an even greater pleasure shoot up his spine, and he felt the tension in his stomach grow. "Cum." He whispered, his voice cracking with pleasure. He gave one last squeeze and Luffy let out a pleasured sob, his cum shooting across their shirts.

The sight of Luffy's release triggered his own, and he moaned as the tension in his stomach released. His own cum mixed with Luffy's and he let his head drop down onto Luffy's shoulder. Breathing through his orgasm, he continued to slowly stroke them.

"We need to change our clothes." He chuckled weakly, as he came down from his high.

..

"Are you sure this is okay?" Luffy asked, pointing to his clothes. "Yes. This isn't a black tie event Luffy, it is just dinner. You look great." He raised an eyebrow, daring Luffy to complain again. "Okay." Luffy grumbled reluctantly and then looked towards his parents' house again.

"Just another minute please." Luffy mumbled. "We've been sitting in the car for five minutes." He sighed, reaching over to turn Luffy towards him. "It is going to be okay, I'll be with you the whole time." He promised. Luffy bit his lip, and then nodded.

They walked slowly up to his parent's house, Luffy clinging to his arm. By the time he opened the door, his arm was starting to ache painfully. "Calm down love." He whispered as they stepped into the house. The smell of his mom's candles and food filled the air, and he sniffed appreciatively.

"Law!" A high pitched squeal of happiness called for him from the hall and two slim arms slid around him as his sister ran up to pull him into a hard hug. "I haven't seen you since my wedding!" She complained, and he felt Luffy stiffen next to him.

He hugged his sister back with one arm, sliding his other arm around Luffy's waist. "I've been busy." He responded. Lami pulled back to look at him with a scowl, and then her eyes drifted to Luffy. His sister looked at him with questioning eyes, and he pulled Luffy closer to his side.

"Lami, this is Luffy my boyfriend. Luffy this is my sister Lami." He introduced. "B-Boyfriend?!" Lami squeaked, and then covered her mouth. "Excuse me. It's um, nice to meet you." Lami collected herself quickly, holding out a hand to Luffy.

"Nice to meet you." Luffy replied shyly, and reached for her hand.

After a quick handshake, Lami shuffled and he pretended not to see the excitement in her eyes. "Everyone is in the dining room already, I'll just go uh, let them know you are here." Lami smiled again at Luffy before bolting.

"Did I make a bad impression?" Luffy asked worriedly, and he shook his head. "No, my sister just wants to gossip about me finding a boyfriend." He grumbled, and led Luffy toward the dining room. Another squeal came from the kitchen, and he face palmed internally.

It was no surprise that all eyes were on them as they entered the dining room. After a few seconds of ogling everyone was jumping up to greet them. He introduced Luffy with ease, keeping his arm tightly around his nervous lover.

His family was large and after a few minutes of just greetings his parents finally had their turn to come introduce themselves. After exchanging names, his mother smiled proudly. "We are so happy that you are here Luffy, we were starting to think Law would never find someone." Luffy blushed at the words. "I'm happy to be here." Luffy murmured quietly.

"No need to be shy, son." His father laughed, and Luffy slid closer to him. "O-Okay." Luffy stammered, and he rubbed Luffy's back comfortingly. "Well, let's all sit down. The food is almost ready." His mom called, and he pulled Luffy away toward the table.

"I'm not trying to be shy." Luffy whispered up to him. "You are doing great." He replied. Luffy was doing perfectly fine; he knew that Luffy didn't like new places or people so he hadn't expected much in the first place. He was content with Luffy just meeting his sister and parents.

He made sure to sit Luffy at the end of the table, so that nobody was sitting beside his lover. He hoped it would be easier on Luffy to have a little space, and be able to eat more comfortingly. He still kept his hand securely on Luffy, making sure to touch him even when they were serving themselves.

His family quickly started to joke, and start up multiple conversations while they started to eat. He wasn't sure if it was the food or the easy going atmosphere but Luffy eventual started to loosen up. He even engaged tentatively in a conversation with his cousin from across the table about wrestling.

When his plate was about half way done, and Luffy was on his second he heard the front door slam open. "Why is it always so cold here?" A familiar voice complained. "You are the one who wanted to come last minute." Another deeper voice grumbled.

He could feel his eyes widen, and he quickly tried to hide his expression before he worried Luffy. "Is that?" He heard his sister whisper to his mom who looked equally shocked. A few seconds later the voices were confirmed as a large pink coat, and a hook filled his vision.

"Merry Christmas!" His uncle Doflamingo called, and he looked wildly at his mom. "M-Merry Christmas." His mom stuttered, standing up to hug Doflamingo, her brother. The rest of the family shuffled uncomfortably, not bothering to stand.

"I thought you wouldn't be able to make it this year?" His mother asked, and Doflamingo shrugged off his large coat, handing it to his lover Crocodile. "I wasn't but then you told me how my dear nephew would be here and suddenly my schedule just seemed to clear up. How could I miss a chance at seeing my little Law?" Doflamingo practically cooed the last words and he glared at his mom accusingly.

He should have known this wouldn't go as simple as he had planned. "Speaking of Law, where is he?" Doflamingo turned his sunglass covered eyes to the dinner table, and he could practically feel the goosebumps rise on his arms when Doflamingo's eyes found him.

"Look what the cat dragged in! Is that a little lover I see?" Doflamingo laughed loudly, and he realized his hand was resting on Luffy's shoulder protectively. When had he moved it? His uncle always put him on edge. He didn't respond, just frowned at his grinning uncle. He wanted Luffy nowhere near the guy, and smiled smugly when he noticed the only two open chairs where at the other end of the table.

Doflamingo's grin faltered for only a split second when he noticed the dilemma. "Well, it's great you could make it, go ahead and sit. We still have plenty of food you must be hungry." His mom spoke again, and smiled at him apologetically

"Don't mind if I do." Doflamingo grinned even wider, and he felt his mouth fall open as Doflamingo grabbed the two chairs and started to pull them over to the other end of the table. "What are you doing?" He growled, and Doflamingo smirked still pulling the two chairs. "I'm going to sit by you, my darling nephew."

He pulled Luffy closer against him as Doflamingo sat unnecessarily close to his lover. Crocodile sat next to Doflamingo silently, grabbing two plates and starting to fill them with food. Luffy nestled into him as Doflamingo stared at the two them for a long moment.

The table slowly started to fill back up with conversations, and Crocodile and Doflamingo started to eat. "Who are they?" Luffy asked quietly, when Doflamingo turned to talk to Crocodile. "The blonde is my uncle, but the family isn't very fond of him." He put kindly and Luffy pursed his lips. "What about the guy with the hook?"

"My uncle's lover, I think. It's complicated." He sighed, and then motioned to Luffy's food. "Forget them, let's finish eating." He encouraged and smiled happily when Luffy bit into a piece of meat. The peaceful eating didn't last long, Doflamingo made sure to turn completely toward them before he started talking.

"What is your name, cutie?" Doflamingo asked Luffy, and his hand tensed around the cutting knife he was holding. He could only imagine his parents face if he lodged the knife into his uncles throat. "Luffy." Luffy sunk closer to his side, and he wrapped an arm around Luffy's waist.

"This is so strange." Doflamingo laughed at his protective gesture and he frowned. "Nothing is as strange as you." He pointed out and Doflamingo shrugged. "I beg to differ. I find your relationship very strange." Doflamingo crossed his arms, a grim smile on his face.

"Nothing wrong with two guys falling in love, uncle." He sneered, "Surely you know that." He pointed his chin toward Crocodile and Doflamingo sniggered. "I don't find your sexuality strange," Doflamingo paused and his grin grew wider, the blonde leaned forward whispering low enough that only he and Luffy would hear, "I didn't know that people like you could fall in love." Doflamingo fell back into his chair with a loud fit of laughter, and he felt his face heat up.

"Whatever do you mean, dear uncle?" He growled, trying to suppress his anger. There was no possible way his uncle could know that he killed, but he always acted like he did. It drove him crazy, and he could feel Luffy tense up as well at the words.

"No need to get upset, after all this is a joyous day!" Doflamingo cheered, and then started laughing again. "Still who knew this was your type, I was expecting something much different." Doflamingo was cutting it dangerously close and he felt his hand tighten around the knife even harder.

"Enough." Crocodile snapped from beside the blonde, and Doflamingo straightened up immediately. "Crocy." Doflamingo whined, turning to the dark haired man. He sighed in relief, and dropped the knife. He knew that Doflamingo would stop targeting them for now; he had always stopped in the past when Crocodile got onto him.

The rest of dinner passed in a blur and he was eager to escape back to his house with Luffy by the end of the night.

As they were preparing to leave his mother came to say goodbye at the door. "You are staying a few days?" His mom asked, and he nodded tiredly. "Please stop by again, we'd love to see you and get to know Luffy." She smiled at Luffy who was dozing off while standing.

"We will. I better get this one home, he looks beat." He promised, and caressed Luffy's cheek softly. "Oh yes, of course. He is sure a timid thing." His mom's eyes softened and he shrugged. Luffy was not as timid as he seemed, but his mom didn't need to know Luffy's true demeanor.

"Oh! One more thing, please be careful out there. Lami's friend Rebecca went missing the other night!" His mother's eyes looked truly frightened and he patted her shoulder. "I'm an adult; I can take care of myself." He promised and his mom crossed her hands.

"Just promise me that you won't be out wondering the streets, this town just hasn't been the same since those bodies were dug up. Who knows what kinds of sickos are walking the streets." His mother's eyes teared up, and he quickly let his hand fall.

"I'll be careful." He promised, and turned to leave when another voice cut into the conversation. "Another person is missing? How surprising to see that still happening. Perhaps the Surgeon of Death is back in town." Doflamingo snickered out, grabbing his coat from beside the door.

"Oh I sure hope not." His mom gasped. His hands tightened into fist, and he continued walking toward the door. "Goodnight mom." He called, and Doflamingo smiled down at him as he passed. "See you later, nephew."

He looked over at Luffy as they drove away from his parent's house. Luffy was nodding off drowsily, and he was surprised when Luffy started talking. "Thank you, for giving me a family." Luffy mumbled, and he blinked in shock.

"Luffy." He whispered, not sure if Luffy was coherent enough to know what he was saying. He had let him spend Christmas with his family but it had only been a dinner, surely it didn't have that much significance to Luffy. If it did he had completely underestimated the strength of Luffy's feelings towards what had happened tonight.

Instead of answering Luffy simply started snoring and that strange feeling from earlier made itself known again. That same crushing happiness.
