What's up folks? Hope you are doing good! I'm back with a new chapter and I'm looking forward for you to read it and tell me your opinion! What's going on between Law and Elga? The atmosphere is really tense right now but do you think things will get better or their fiery temper will continue rule their behavior?
Let's find out then!
I'm open for new ideas so if you have something to propose you are free to tell me about it!
I don't own One Piece but I do own the OC.
Have fun!
The elder man was trying hard to enjoy some more lie-in on his bed but two specific people didn't leave him rest as much as he wanted. He attempted to change many sleeping positions but after some time of tossing and turning he decided to finally get out of bed.
"Hmph, what with those kids again! When will I get some nice sleep for Lord's shake?!" he said, walking to the direction of the voices' source.
When he arrived outside of the living room's wooden door he knocked it as an act to ask for permission if he could enter or not. However, he didn't take any response and the two teenagers continued arguing. Then, Volff decided to open the door and went in without carrying if he would interrupt the examination. He had to give a good piece of his mind to Law this time and he would do it now! First he brings two boys and one bear inside his house, after that he had to take care of them as they were still kids and he was the only adult around, finally he brings another one girl and only hopes the boy doesn't expect from him to keep her too. Not to talk about all the ruckus and chaos they provoke!
As Volff opened the door a creaking sound was heard and it was enough to catch the teenagers' attention.
They both turned their heads, pausing their conversation, and looked at the old man in front of them.
"What do you want Mister Junk? Can't you see I'm about to examine Miss…" Law said and stopped his phrase as he remembered an important detail.
"What is your name?" he continued, turning his gaze to the girl beside him.
"Seriously now? You don't even know my name?" she answered rolling her eyes.
"You didn't even remember me!" the young doctor replied, raising his voice again as a specific girl started getting on his nerves.
"Should I? Are you that important?" she teased him having a smirk on her lips.
Law only got even more angry and stood up from his seat.
"Look here, you…" he started to say but he felt Volff grabbing his hand and directing him outside of the living room.
"Oi what are you doing old man?" the boy asked annoyed by the man's actions.
"If you don't get along with her, I will kick both of your asses outside of this house! Do you understand?"
"Tsk, you don't mean that!" the rebellious teenager responded crossing his hands.
"I had enough of your yelling all morning along! Also what's with all of this? I don't believe you expect from me to let her stay here too!" Volff commented and looked at Law hopeless, trying to find an answer about his plans, through his expressions.
"I was thinking she could stay until her back and waist are completely healed. I mean she had a difficult surgery and I should give my patient some time to rest." Law replied like a professional doctor with a matter-of-fact tone on his voice.
"After all don't forget I owe her and I need to end with this obligation... You were the one talking to me about give and take rules et cetera some months ago." he added giving a glance to Volff.
The elder man couldn't help but sigh in defeat as it was impossible to disagree with Law's strong points.
"I guess I need to be forbearing for now but I won't tolerate this forever! She is one more person and that means more food, more water, more needs and more space! You've got the responsibility to supervise this one too! Am I clear?"
"Yes, Mister Junk…"
"And stop calling me like that! I'm the genius inventor Volff! How many times do I have to tell you that?" he said and started walking towards the kitchen.
"As you like… Mister Junk!" Law answered teasing him with a smirk on his lips.
"I heard that!" the old man yelled in response something that made Law laugh.

In the meantime, as Law and Volff were talking outside of the living room's door, the said girl decided, despite the sharp pain on her back, to get out of the place she was laying. She tried to stand up carefully as the stiches were still fresh and could feel the sensation of a foreign object embellished inside her skin. Then, she started examining herself by touching the wound as she wasn't able to see it, and left a sigh of relief when she checked that everything was alright.
*I must admit he did a pretty good work on that! Let's see what's going on with the one on my waist too.*
However, when she searched her pelvis she couldn't find any other stiches around.
*Is he trolling me or something?*
Many thoughts of the situation she was stuck, passed by her mind.
*Why did he tell me lies? Maybe he is a psycho killer or he wants to steal my organs! Oh my Lord!*
Elga thought in panic but she tried to calm herself as that boy saved her life after all and she didn't have any intensions to be unfair to him. Moreover, if he was planning to steal her organs, he already had the chance to do it and proved wrong.
* Maybe I should just go and ask him about my queries.*
The girl walked until she reached the wooden door but suddenly stopped behind it. She could hear the elder man yelling at the boy who saved her life. He was scolding him about bringing her inside their house and that she was only a burden drinking their water, eating their food and taking up space without being able to give anything for exchange. He really heard like a man who missed his peaceful days and she could totally understand it. Living in a house with other 3 boys in puberty and a polar bear is already too much!
*I should start picking up my things then. I don't want to annoy them.*
Nevertheless, what she heard afterwards was something she didn't expect. That boy started defending her and thinking of arguments to persuade the old man to keep her for a few days at least until she recovers.
*He is not as bad as I thought of him at the beginning…*
She continued eavesdropping all the conversation between those two until the old man finally went along with the boy's will and Elga felt remorseful inside because of the thoughts she made previously. She should thank this boy later for going into all of this trouble for her.
*He must be a nice person after all. Even if it's about all of this give and take thing, it is remarkable he wants to keep it until the end of my treatment.*
The girl was deep in thoughts and didn't heard of the door opening right in front of her as a result she found herself bumping with a certain boy.
She lost her balance and Law caught her waist on time bringing her back on her feet.
Elga realized she was a bit closer to his chest than she should and lifted her face to look at his expression with light pink blush on her cheeks from shock.
On the other side, Law lowered his head to check if she was alright still holding her waist for safety.
Grey, cold as steel orbs met warm dark brown ones. They stuck like that for a while and both sides couldn't help but blush.
