Sick Law
…Before baby…
"Achoo!" Law sneezed, for the hundredth time in the past hour, as he trudged around the ship.
"Geez, Captain," A crew mate said. "You don't look so good."
"Maybe you should go lay down?" Another crew mate asked. "You look like you're getting sick."
"I'm not getting sick!" Law hissed. "I wish you all would stop asking me to do that!"
Law turned and stumbled out of the room. The crew watched him go without saying another word. They started talking when he was out of ear shot. "He's so stubborn."
"Where's Neo?"
"Yeah, she'll be able to get the captain to lay down."
"Haven't seen her in a while."
"I think she's with Shachi and Penguin. Not sure what they are doing, but those two had their mischievous grins on their faces."
…
"Are you sure about this?" Neo asked from her and Law's bathroom. She had left the door slightly cracked open so she could talk to the boys. "This really isn't necessary is it? I can just ask him to lay down."
"True, but this way will be more fun," Shachi chuckled.
"You're going to get me into trouble," Neo frowned even though they couldn't see it.
"That'll never happen," Penguin answered her. "He loves you. And he'll love you even more for doing this for him."
"You two are insane."
"You about done?" Shachi asked.
"Yeah, yeah," Neo sighed before opening the door.
"Oh yeah!" Shachi and Penguin's eyes sparkled. They gave her two thumbs up each. "He's really gonna love this!"
"Although, you're gonna wanna undo a couple of those but-"
"Shachi!" Neo's cheeks flushed bright red. She grabbed the front of her outfit as if the buttons were gonna undo themselves.
"Still so shy. Okay, okay, it's fine the way it is," Shachi smiled.
Neo growled lightly and twitched under their approving gazes. She sighed before speaking. "Where is he?"
…
The crew cautiously watched their captain. Law had wandered into the control room. He slumped down in a chair and stared mindlessly at the controls. They whispered among themselves. "Some get Neo. This had gone on far too long."
"Yeah, the captain really needs to go lay down before he really gets sick."
"Someone went to get her."
"She's coming!" A crew mate announced. When they all turned, their mouths dropped open.
"It was their idea," Neo pointed accusingly at Shachi and Penguin.
"We approve!" The crew cheered.
Neo sighed. "It's a good thing Law is out of touch with reality right now. He wouldn't like how happy you all just sounded."
"Don't worry about that. Just take care of our captain now," Shachi gave her a shove into the control room.
Neo sighed again before walking over to her husband. She tried to tug down the short hem. "Law?"
"Huh?" Law lifted his eyes to Neo then paused. His eyes ran up and down her form multiple times. "Um…Why are you dressed like a nurse?"
"I'm here to take care of you, silly," Neo said shifting into the roll Penguin and Shachi previously coached her on doing while she was changing into this outfit they got for her. She grabbed his arm and pulled him off the chair. "Come on now. You've got to go lay down."
"But I-"
"No protesting, mister," Neo cut him off as she pulled him out of the control room. His eyes remaining on her body as she dragged him down the hall and into their room. She pulled him over to the bed. She flipped the cover down then all but shoved him onto it. She then pulled off his shoes and, grabbing his shoulders, she pushed him down. "Lay down now."
"But I-"
"No more buts, Law, you're sick," Neo crossed her arms and gave him a stern look. "I love you, but I will not allow you to be stubborn about this anymore. You have to take care of yourself. What would you do if we got caught up in a battle right now? You're in no condition to fight."
"Fine," Law sighed and rested against his pillow.
"Good. Now, I order you to stay in bed. I'm going to go make you some soup and get you some medicine," Neo turned to walk away. Before she could take one step, Law's hand was on her wrist. He tugged her onto the bed and wrapped his arms firmly around her. "Law, what are you doing? I told yo-"
"I won't stay in bed unless you are with me," Law mumbled while resting his chin on the top of her head.
"But I was going to go get-"
"I've already taken some medicine. And I'm not hungry. All I want right now, is you," Law said while he started to drift off.
"Very well. I'll stay."
"Good," Law said. "But later we're gonna have a long talk about that outfit you're wearing."
"Am I in trouble?" Neo asked.
"On the contrary, it's quite the opposite. I'd show you right now, but I do not want you to get sick too," Neo tilted her eyes up to him. He was finally asleep. He had a deep red blush over his cheeks. She knew it wasn't because of him being sick either.
