Luffy/Law (4)

(Suspicious Eyes)

Law looked down from his relatively secluded perch near the edge of the deck, as he heard the resident rubber captain shout something before laughing.

The straw hat wearing beta was practically using his devil fruit to bounce off the walls in glee as he was chased by an angry looking Usopp, Chopper at his side, flailing his little furry arms around. While Brook the skeleton was playing an upbeat tune in the background that seemed to go along perfectly with Luffy's mood.

He trailed the three betas with his eyes before turning away to lean back against the ship railing. Closing his eyes as he released a sigh, readjusting Kikoku against his shoulder.

He berated himself in his mind. His reactions to the strawhat captain were getting ridiculous.

Robin glanced up at the male with a contemplative look on her face, before her eyes snapped to Luffy as the other ran past her giggling.

She joined him a second later, holding a hand over her mouth as she did so, while she watched her captain dart across the deck laughing constantly.

She paused with a smile on her face as she closed the book she had been reading, setting it in her lap, as she crossed her arms under her chest.

Her eyes tracked the cardigan wearing rubber boy as her mind moved a mile a minute.

Law had been on the ship with them for several months now, and she may not have been as sensitive to scents as her captain, she had noticed little things that gave the surgeon away to what his dynamic was.

She knew Law was an Omega.

Honestly, she didn't mind helping to keep that secret for him as well. She, unfortunately, had the opportunity to see the darker side of the world on very few occasions. She knew the dangers of dynamics, even if they lived in a society where all dynamics were treated equally.

She knew why he may be hiding like he was.

She wasn't going to take that little bit of security away from him.

Though.. she paused in thinking as she saw her captain suddenly stop and turn his head up to look at Law.

She observed, a slow smirk rising onto her features, as a wide grin stretched onto the face of her bright, sunshine persona of a captain as he darted to the stairs that would take him to the Heart pirate's captain.

She watched as Luffy latched onto Law's shoulders, who grumbled for a moment, squirming, before rolling his eyes and looking at Luffy as the rubber boy chattered on a mile a minute to the dark haired doctor.

She tilted her head slightly as she noticed Law's expression shift in a minuscule manner, to accompany an adoration and wonder, a certain softness, alongside his apathetic facade.

A light smile found her face and she blinked, turning her body away as she moved to raise from her chair, dropping her hands as she did so to push herself up from her lounge chair, watching them for a moment out of the corner of her eye, before turning away.

Her eyes scanned the deck quickly, looking for a certain person, before dismissing the area in her search when she couldn't find her orange haired target.

She quickly crossed the deck, dodging Usopp and Chopper as the two came running past an irritated looking Zoro behind them, making her way to the Mikan trees.

She poked her head around one of the branches and smiled at spotting the female alpha intently focused on one of the bright colored fruits.

"Nami." Said alpha whirled around before the orange haired girl smiled slightly, turning her body towards Robin as she let go of the fruit she had been studying to instead inspect her raven haired companion.

"Robin! Is there something you need?" Nami walked forward, placing her arm around Robin's shoulders, and shoving her nose into Robin's neck.

Robin smiled as she tilted her head a bit for easier access before she grabbed ahold of Nami's free hand. "Not particularly. But you remember the 'suspicion' I mentioned to you a day or so ago?"

Nami blinked as she pulled away meeting Robin's eyes with a slightly confused and curious look. "The one where Law and Luffy are in love with each other but are avoiding it?"

Robin smiled and nodded before grabbing ahold of Nami's hand and starting to lead her back to the lounge chairs.

A quick glance up verified nothing had changed, to Robin's relief, before she grabbed Nami's shoulders and pushed her into the lounge chair next to Robin's previously vacated one. She stood and smirked at Nami, one hand on her hip, "I think we both could do for some relaxing in the sun."

Robbin smirked at Nami's confused eyes before she moved to sit into her own chair.

She laid back and smirked at Nami as the orange haired female's face suddenly cleared as she spotted the two captains, in the same spot they had been, that happened to be in perfect view of the lounge chairs.

Robin smirked and closed her eyes as she heard Nami thunk back into the chair and make herself comfortable.

She opened her eyes and looked to the duo. Both females of the ship where secretly watching, just in time to see Luffy surge forward close to Law's face on accident, who reared back to avoid a lip lock. The two stared for half a moment before Law shoved her captain away.

Luffy didn't take offense and instead laughed. Reattaching himself to Law and talking to him as if nothing had happened.

As if Luffy didn't have his arms around the doctor's neck.

Robin smirked alongside her orange haired partner.

Secretly in love, indeed.
