Luffy Tries To Say Law's Name

"Try saying my name," Law urges, "just try."

Luffy raises an eyebrow. "Torao?"

"No, correctly."

"Law?"

The sound of his first name on Luffy's tongue goes straight to his nether regions, and he coughs lightly into his elbow. It shouldn't be that hot. It shouldn't turn him on this much.

But it does, and Law was going to find himself in a very awkward predicament if he doesn't get Luffy back on task.

He swallows and tries again. "My last name, Mugiwara-ya."

Luffy makes a face, tilting his head to the side in thought. "Hmm," he starts, expression working up something fierce as he thinks. "Tor...ter-"

"Ter?" Law frowns. "No, tra. Tra."

Luffy hums, acknowledging the words, eyes squeezed shut with a finger pressed against his forehead. "Wait I'm concentrating, hold on!"

Law sighs and crosses his arms, waiting for Luffy to speak. After another beat of concentrated humming, which increased in volume as he reaches the depths of his mind for an answer, he suddenly smiles wide. "Toraraga!"

"Who the hell," Law scoffs, brows raised, "is Toraraga?"

Luffy frowns slightly, bewilderment lining his beautiful face. "Is that not right?"

He was too damn cute for his own good. A smile pulls the edges of his lips against his wishes. "Not in the slightest. Try again."

"Tagflarg!" Luffy brightens, only to deflate when Law chuckles and shakes his head.

"That's even harder to say than my actual name," he points out with a small smile. "How did you even manage that?"

"I dunno. It's not my fault your name has a million letters," Luffy mutters, pouting.

Law's heart absolutely flutters at the expression. "It has a lot less than that, Mugiwara-ya."

"Toraforga?"

"...No."

"Tragafa?"

"Nope."

"Trafala?"

"Close!" Law grins. Luffy throws his hands up in the air, clearly disappointed.

"I can't do it, Torao!" he huffs, stomping his foot. "Your name is too hard! Do you want me to just call you Law?"

Law freezes as a shiver chills his spine. "No, don't-"

"Law!" Luffy cheers, gummy smile stretching his rubbery cheeks. "Law, Law, La-"

"Don't." Law clamps a hand over his mouth, voice husky and low. He closes his eyes against another wave of pleasure that settles in his groin, and he takes a deep breath. He needs to get a grip. "Luffy, just forget it. 'Torao' is fine."

Luffy blinks twice then nods slowly in understanding. Law sighs and removes his palm. "Good. I have to take my leave now, anyway. I need to go converse with that tanuki of yours."

"Chopper?"

"Yeah." Law raises a brow at him. "Is that an issue?"

"No!" Luffy blurts, then cowers back again, the slightest red on his cheeks. "No..."

Law shakes his head and leaves him to his ministrations. "Then I'll see you around."

"Yeah," Luffy waves him away. "See ya."

Once Law is out of sight, Luffy collapses against the mast of the Thousand Sunny and sighs, looking up at the sky. "Why is it that when Torao said my name..." He clutches at his heart and bangs his head back against the mask. "My body feels hot and it beats harder here?"

"That's called having a crush, Luffy," Nami smiles from the balcony behind him.

"Or is it a kink?" Robin deadpans from under her parasol.

"Robin, no!" Usopp cuts, popping his head out from the side of the ship. "Don't put those ideas into his head!"

Luffy makes a confused noise. "What's a kink?"

Zoro pops his head down from his training in the crow's nest. "Well, if you really wanna know-"

"Say another word Marimo and I'm shoving a foot up your ass," Sanji grunts, entering the fiasco on the deck from the kitchen. "Don't worry about it, Luffy."

Luffy considers for a moment before shrugging. "Well, if you say so. And is that meat?"

"Yeah, come on in," Sanji motions him into the kitchen. "I made extra, just for you."

Robin watches as Luffy practically floats into the ship's kitchen, drooling. The delicious smell of meat blesses the rest of their noses and entices the other members of the crew to follow their captain's footsteps, still arguing about wether Luffy's feelings were a kink or a crush. Robin soon finds herself alone on the deck.

"That's definitely a kink, Captain. With a pretty sizable crush on top," she chuckles to herself, flipping a page of her book. Her knowing blue eyes catch a certain surgeon emerging from their doctor's quarters, staring at the closed kitchen door in longing. "And I do believe you're not alone."
