W/N: Is this sad enough?
He got up early on that cold Saturday morning, which was actually rare. It was his day off and it had been two weeks since the break up. It was not that long of time but he felt like he was starting to come to terms with it.
Well, he had to. He had a life to live, and he had to stop making people worry about him. It was tough, but he knew he would make it.
Outside, the sky was gloomy. Together with the trees, they created a mysterious kind of beauty, breathtaking. Maybe he could actually get some amazing photos out of them.
He put on thick clothes and comfortable boots, ran out with his camera. He could hear Ace telling him to be back soon for breakfast and he replied him with an 'Okay'.
He came home after two hours.
After breakfast, and Ace nagging him, he went back to his room and went through all the photos he had taken.
They turned out amazing, and needed very little touch up. He had to show them to Law. He had to-
Then, he remembered. They were no longer together.
Luffy put down his camera and wiped away the streak of tears on his cheek.
Right after he graduated, he had been working hard to get himself noticed, sending out his works to a lot of places. Rejections? Not getting feedbacks? They were all normal. But, never once he ever thought of giving up. He never stopped trying. He took every chance he could get to improve himself. And, he was glad he had a very supporting environment - his family, his friends, and Law.
To be honest, he felt like he did not deserve Law at times. To him, Law was perfect. A lowly part-timer like him was in no way a good match for someone like Law. But then, Law never seemed to care about all of that and Luffy was extremely grateful.
Of course, he did not blame Law at all for the breakup. He really should have seen it coming.
He got up from his bed, walked up to his desk and took out a key from one of the drawers.
It was the spare key to Law's apartment.
He had been thinking about returning the key to Law, and to collect all the stuff he left at Law's apartment. But, he did not think he was emotionally ready yet.
Would it be possible to do it without facing Law though? Luffy thought, gaze still on the key in his hand. If he remembered correctly, Law would be working morning shift the next day and would be back early in the evening. Maybe he could drop by in the afternoon to avoid running into Law.
Good plan.
The next day, Luffy showed up at Law's place in the afternoon, with him are an empty luggage and a big meal box. Back when they were still together, Law always skipped his meal and just slept the rest of his day off. That old guy Luffy saw with Law that day would probably take better care of Law but Luffy would just leave the box in there, just in case.
Luffy did a quick job packing all his stuff and left an hour before Law was supposed to be done with work. He took his time walking to the train station, getting one last look at the surrounding. He would totally miss it.
The train was full of people that evening and it was an uncomfortable ride for Luffy. Waiting for the train to reach his destination felt like an eternity and the moment he finally got out, he let out a long, relieved sigh.
On his way back home, he decided to send Law a text, just to tell Law he collected all his stuff.
Too bad, his phone was not in his pocket anymore.
