Attacked at Work
Law wiped up some juices from a shark during his last class. One of his female students had screamed when some juices spurted out at her. Now, he was cleaning it up after his classes were over and he had some time to.
After a bit, the classroom door opened. "Hello? How can I help you? I'll be with you in just a moment," he said as he finished wiping it up.
"So, this is what you do every day?" Law froze at the voice that spoke to him. Slowly, he turned his head to look over his shoulder at the man that stood in the doorway to his classroom. "It smells awful in here."
"What the hell are you doing here? I thought you left a few days ago." Just the other day, Law had finally been able to go back to work and function properly. As long as he took his medicine before going to work and when he got home, he would be able to do things normally. It was going to be like that for another week or so.
"I told you that I would come back when your... students ...were gone." Law glared at him. The way he said 'students' made them sound like annoyances rather than people.
"I will call Cora-san. You aren't supposed to be near me without him," he reminded him. "I have half the mind to go find him."
Doflamingo shut the door behind him and stood in front of it. The situation was turning bad real fast. "Corazon never told me why he took you away. Care to tell me why? I've tried to ask him. All I get is silence and glares."
"Because of the marks you left on me." Doflamingo stopped advancing on him. Law had backed up to the window in the back of the room. "He told me that wasn't how an uncle treats his nephew. What you were doing wasn't right. You might've not done any lasting damage on the outside, but you still hurt me. And you left me scarred mentally."
The grin that was normally there wasn't. He looked to be thinking about something. "Why did you hit me last time? Did I do something wrong?"
"You know damn well why I hit you. I don't want my students to listen to an insane bastard that has messed up fantasies of his nephew who's fifteen years younger than him."
Veins popped on his forehead. Law almost screamed. He knew that Doflamingo was going to try something. When the man came rushing at him, Law tried to dodge him. That only resulted in him grabbing a hold of his shirt.
"LET ME GO!" he shouted at him, struggling to get out of his grip. "GET OFF!"
"Keep quiet," Doflamingo hissed. "People will come here if you don't." He slapped a hand over his mouth. It only made Law even more desperate to get away. "You're acting as if I raped you before. You and I both know that isn't true. I never went that far. I only did other things with you."
Tears rolled down his cheeks before he thought of something. Opening his mouth, he bit into the hand over it. Doflamingo shouted in pain but didn't let go of his shirt. Quickly, Law struggled out of it before rushing to the door.
Throwing open the classroom door, Law blindly ran down the hallway. He knew where he was going, though. Many students, that knew him well, watched him with wide, shocked eyes as he ran, shirtless, down the halls of the school.
"Torao-sensei?" He heard Luffy's voice.
"Not now. I need to find Cora-san," he replied as he dashed past him. He saw Nami and the other two standing there as he went up the stairs of the other side of the building. "I'll talk to you three later," he called behind himself.
Getting to the room he was looking for, Law darted in. Corazon had been in the middle of a lesson when he entered. Every student turned to look at him. His adopted father looked confused about how he entered the room.
"Law, is everything alright? What's going on?" The man put his book down on his desk. "You can do whatever for now. I'll be right back." They all nodded before he grabbed Law by the arm and pulled him into the hallway. "What happened? Where's your shirt?"
"D-D-Do-Doflamingo's h-here," he stuttered out. Corazon looked horrified. "H-He tr-tried to attack m-me in m-my classr-ro-room."
"WHAT?!" The scream made everyone in the hall turn heads to them.
"He... He wouldn't le-let me g-g-go." Law was still in tears as he stood there. "I... I bit h-his hand. I... I was a-able to g-get... get away."
"Hold on." The man went back into his room and brought out his jacket. "Here. There's no way in hell I'm letting you go get it back from him. For fuck's sake, I won't let him near you right now."
Law nodded as he slipped on the oversized jacket. It went past his knees. "Th-Thank you."
"You're welcome. We'll talk about this later. Are you students still around?" Law nodded.
"P-Passed by th-them on my way h-he-here."
"Alright. Go home with them. If Doflamingo comes by, don't let him in. I'll be right over after my class." Law agreed before shakily making his way back to the lobby of the building.
When he got there, the four came running up to him. "Law-sensei, what happened? Why were you shirtless? Is everything okay?" Usopp asked as he stood to his right. Sanji stood in front of him while Nami and Luffy stood to his left.
"H-Home. I... I want to g-go home," was all he could get out.
"Come on. We'll take you home." Nami grabbed him by the shoulder.
"LAW!" He jumped at the anger and loudness. His body shook violently as he stood there. "Come here."
Law didn't do as he said. He just stood there. Shaking as the sound of him getting closer echoed loudly in his ears. "Torao, isn't that your uncle?" Luffy whispered to him. Law could only nod. "Why's he so angry?"
The man came to stand right behind him. Law could feel his massive presence almost touching his back. "I told you to do something. I expect you to do it as soon as I say it." Law sensed that he was reaching out to him.
Quickly, he dodged the hand that almost touched his shoulder. He spun around for a moment. Doflamingo looked even more pissed off than he previously thought he sounded. His students looked shocked as tears ran down his face.
"CORA-SAN!" he screamed before rushing to the doors. "HE'S TRYING TO TOUCH ME AGAIN!"
A lot of the students in the lobby were silent as he struggled to get the door open. He was so terrified that his strength wasn't working properly. "What do you think you're doing?!" Law stopped with the door when he heard Corazon shout.
Everyone looked to the stairs. Corazon was standing there. Fuming. Law had never seen him look so pissed off since he told him about the marks on his arms and legs. "Corazon, what are you doing here?"
"Luffy. Sanji. Nami. Usopp. Get Law out of here." He glared directly at Doflamingo as he spoke. "He needs to be as far away from this... poor excuse of a brother of mine ...as possible." The four nodded before grabbing Law and helping him out of the doors. "You have some explaining to do," was the last thing he heard him say before they were out of the building.
Halfway home, Law broke down even more. He had never been attacked like that by him before, let alone in public. When they got home, he went straight to his bedroom before crawling into his bed. He cried and sobbed into his bed as he made a cocoon out of his blanket and bedsheets.
His students left him alone. He was thankful for that. They were great kids and helped him without question. After a bit, his mind started to remember the dreams he had about Doflamingo and Corazon.
Soon, all he could see was snow around the room from the small opening in the cocoon he created. That scared him a little. "NO! I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN!" he shouted. More tears poured out of his eyes.
Sniffing, all he could smell was Corazon. It comforted him in a way but did nothing about the vision he was having. Looking from the bed, he saw the body of his adopted father on the ground. Blood pooled on the ground below him. Doflamingo stood a few feet away. A gun raised and smoking. It was obvious that he shot the kind, generous, loving man.
Anger and hatred filled him. He snatched up the pillow below him. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!" he screamed as loud as he could. "HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!" With the pillow in his hands, he swatted at the man he called 'uncle'. That thought left a sour taste in his mouth.
"Torao/Law, what are you doing?" The voices were at the back of his mind. All he knew was that the man he used to look up had shot the one person that was precious to him at that time.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM! DON'T KILL HIM!" Tears streamed down his face as he used the pillow as a weapon. It did nothing to Doflamingo. The guy didn't even flinch as the pillow hit him.
"Law, calm down. There's nothing there." Two sets of arms encircled his arms while another pair grabbed him around the chest.
"Just... relax. Please." That was a female voice. It sounded sort of like his mother.
"Does anyone know what's going on? What's he talking about?"
"Wh-Where's Cora-san?" he asked as the group as he looked around. The snow quickly changed to his bedroom. Doflamingo and Corazon started to fade away and disappeared after a second or so.
"He's still at the school. He just texted me that he was finishing up his lesson," Sanji said. Law looked to see that he was the only one not holding him. Luffy and Usopp were grabbing his arms while Nami was holding him around his chest.
"O-Okay." He nodded before dropping the pillow. "I... I need my medicine." Law hadn't taken his dosage when he got home.
"I'll get it." Usopp let go of him before rushing out of the room.
"Torao, what happened with your uncle?" Nami reached out and hit him. "Ow. What was that for, Nami?"
"You don't ask him personal questions like that. He might not want to answer that," She answered as she helped Law sit back down on his bed. He hugged the coat closer to his body as he sat there.
"I... I don't get along well with him. I haven't for a very long time." Law shrugged. "He tried to attack me in my classroom after I cleaned up. Doflamingo grabbed me by my shirt. I was able to get out of it and ran to find Cora-san."
"Oh." Luffy looked guilty about asking. Law smiled at him.
"Don't worry." He wiped at his face, trying to get the tears to go away. "I got away from him and that's all that matters."
"Here's your medicine." Usopp reentered the room and handed the cup to him. Law downed it in one go. It was really nice that he had all of his students there for him. The small group was a great help and he shared similarities with them. That was another plus.
Handing the cup back to him, Law started to shiver. He wasn't cold. Not at all. It was more like he was still having repercussions of the situation he had with Doflamingo. "Law, are you going to be alright?" Sanji asked.
"Yeah. I'll be fine. It's just..." He looked away from them. "I've never had him do that to me before. He's not even supposed to be near me without Cora-san. It was part of an agreement between them. Cora-san even had him sign a contract about it." It was stupid of me to even let him in at that time.
"Damn. He went that far to keep him away from you." Law nodded. It sounded like a lot. To Law, it was. But Doflamingo respected it up until about half a week ago. When he first visited after he got sick was the first time he disobeyed the agreement. Now, he did it twice.
"I don't think I'll have to worry about him for a while," he confessed before crawling back into his bed.
"Why?" the group asked.
"Because he has a restraining order on him now." All five occupants looked to the door to the bedroom. His students jumped at the sound of Corazon's voice. Law was used to him just showing up at odd times.
"What do you mean?" Luffy asked.
"I mean that he's not allowed within 500 feet of Law for a long time." Corazon entered the room. "After you all left, Smoker showed up." Law raised an eyebrow from under the covers. "I called him as soon as you left my classroom." He nodded. "When he arrived, I told him to file a restraining order against him. Smoker, happily, obliged and did so."
"Thanks." Law was extremely happy to hear that. "So, where is he now?"
"Heading back. Smoker made sure he was on the very next plane back to his home."
There was a silence that gathered between all of them. Nami broke the silence after ten minutes. "Corazon-sensei, why go to all those extremes to keep him from Law? What happened between them?"
Corazon looked toward Law. He nodded at him. "Do you want me to tell them now?"
"Go ahead. I don't mind. Might as well since they saw that whole display earlier." He tucked the blankets around his body tighter because he didn't want them to see how nervous and scared he still was.
"Well, I noticed some strange things that kept happening between Law and Doflamingo when he turned sixteen," Corazon started.
"What do you mean? What kind of strange things?" Usopp asked.
"Sticking around him, not doing things without asking permission, getting uncomfortable when I would ask him certain questions, continued to wear long-sleeve shirts and pants when it was 100 degrees outside, and many others." Everyone turned to him. He tried to make himself as small as possible. "I kept asking why he would leave Doflamingo's room in the mornings. He never gave me a real answer."
"Law, did you ever tell him?" Sanji asked.
"Yes. That was after we left." He looked away. "I would give him excuses about having nightmares."
"Yeah. He's had nightmares since he was little because of his parents. They died tragically when he was around two or so. His baby sister died with them." The group gave him sorrowful expressions. "I finally got answers about a month after his 20th birthday."
"How? Did he come to you?" Nami sounded hopeful.
"No. He found out in the worst way possible." Law picked at the sleeve of the jacket. "I was trying to hide the marks. He didn't see the ones on my legs until later that day."
All four stared at him with wide, disbelieving eyes. "I immediately told him to go pack his stuff and meet me in the car." Corazon sat on the edge of the bed. "I don't know how far he took it, but it's not something family does with each other."
" 'You're acting as if I raped you before. You and I both know that isn't true. I never went that far. I only did other things with you'," Law recited what Doflamingo said to him when they were in his classroom.
Everyone had dropped jaws as they stared at him. Even Corazon seemed shocked and appalled at hearing that. All of their expressions made him close the cocoon over his head. He was waiting for it. Waiting for them to say it. "WHAT?!" There it was. Now, he would have to explain what he tried to keep from Corazon. Even the man didn't know how far the guy went. It was very close to rape. But only a few steps away from being so.
Hope you all like this chapter. Please, let me know what you think. I decided to give a little insight to Law's relationship with Doflamingo. I really hope it's okay. Also, I'M SOOOO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! I didn't mean to be so late. Have a beautiful day and I love you all. Tatty-bye! :)
