I was mentally panicking about what Law was going to do when he let out a yawn. I swallowed nervously as I watched his eyes open. For a second, they seemed to hold confusion before they looked down. My eyes met his and there was stillness. Neither of us moved and time seemed to slow. I bit my lip as I tried to figure out what to say when I was suddenly pinned under Law with both my hands held over my head. He stared down at me with dark amusement in his eyes. I laid under him in shock even as my world seemed to become filled with heat. Law smirked at me and asked, "Ariun-ya are you aware that you act very cat-like and cuddly when you're half-asleep and slightly drunk?"

I bit my lip again as I mentally cursed my stupid devil fruit. God damn it stupid drunken cats. My thought process stopped when a pair of fingers touched my lips and pulled my bottom lip from between my teeth. The only thing that came out of my mouth was a, "Uh..."

"Are you aware of that fact Ariun-ya?" He repeated making me nod with a slightly red face, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"N-never thought that it would come up," I stuttered at the beginning making me want to smack myself.

He chuckled as his eyes roved over my face, "It seems that you were wrong."

"Er...yeah," Damn he was so warm, "Why are you so warm?"

Stupid brain don't focus on useless information no matter how much I wanted to know. Law seemed surprised by the question before chuckling as his body moved a bit, "My body temperature is a bit higher than normal due to my devil fruit. Yours seems to be a bit lower than normal."

So we're going to ignore the situation at the moment. Perfect except for the specific fact of him being on top of me. Why the hell am I having a normal conversation with him in this position? I wondered briefly if I had finally gone insane at some point when I felt a finger trail up my cheek. I grabbed the hand it was attached to after tugging one of my hands free from his grip. I blushed once again as I murmured, "Please do not do that."

"Why?" He moved his hand up and suddenly both of mine were in his grip once more.

He watched Ariun's eyes widen as he easily held both her wrists down above her head. The sight caused him to chuckle even as he took one of his hands away. He moved it back to her cheek and lightly ran his thumb along it. To his surprise, he finds a few very small and very faint grooves that seemed to cut into her cheek. As his fingers brushed against him, Ariun stiffens under him before she let out a low rumbling purr. Her eyes become unfocused and she shuddered as he put a little more pressure on his finger as he ran it against the groove. He was surprised when Ariun murmured, "Fuck."

It was a little odd to hear her curse, but it was amusing given the situation. He leaned down to get a closer look at the grooves and murmurs, "Like whisker scars."

Ariun murmured something under her breath that he barely caught, "Of course he finds them."

He chuckled as he noticed her eyes seem to regain their focus and they settled on his own. They widened upon seeing how close his face was to hers. Chuckling softly, he asked, "Does this bother you?"

She opened her mouth to reply, but nothing came out. He chuckled as his eyes went to her lips. Her tongue darted out to run across them making them glisten slightly in the light. He contemplated what to do before the question that had run through his mind that day in the office came back. Would she slap him after the shock of him kissing her wore off? Would she blush and try to pull away? Would she kiss him back? The thoughts swirled through his mind once more and he smirked as he realized that no crew member would be interrupting him this time. He felt Ariun shiver under him as his fingers once again ran over her whisker like scars and felt her brush against him.

The blush on my face doubled when Law hissed. Law eyes locked with my own before he suddenly leaned down. I felt his warm breath against my lips just as a knock echoed on my door and Maki called out, "Ariun are you up yet?"

I turned my face away from Law and called out, "Yeah."

"Good," Maki sighed softly, "I didn't know if you were in here or not since everyone save for the Captain slept in the galley,"

"Really?" He sounded slightly frustrated.

"Yeah do you happen to know where Captain is?" Maki asked and I felt Law's breath against my ear.

"Tell him you don't," Law ordered causing me to shiver.

"No," My heart twisted slightly for lying to Maki.

"I guess I'll check his room," Maki sighed softly, "Buck wanted me to tell you that breakfast was going to be a bit late. Do you have a hangover?"

"No," I was once again felt like dancing.

"Good," Maki walked away and I felt slightly relieved.

I was relieved because Maki was one to keep things short unless he thought you were either in trouble or hurt. My relief fled as I turned my head and found my eyes locked with Law's once more. I bit my lip as I wondered what was about to happen and felt his fingers leave my face only to pull my bottom lip from between my teeth. His fingers trailed across my lip once before returning to my cheek. I decided to try and get out of this situation, "You know he's looking for you right?"

"Yes," Law's eyes held amusement.

"Aren't you going to see what he wants?" I pressed onward.

"Soon," His fingers trail across my cheek making me shudder as pleasure ran down my spine, "So sensitive," He leaned forward and pressed his lips to my cheek, "Why is that?"

I shivered as they brushed across the sensitive skin and murmured, "T-they're my whiskers."

He chuckled softly and leaned back a little as his hands released mine. He propped himself up using his elbows and stared down at me. My blush lessened a bit as he peered down at me, "They look like scars."

I nodded my head slightly, "That's because they are," He looked at me in confusion prompting me to sigh as memories of my past burned through my mind, "The people that killed my mother decided to play follow the line," I pushed down the memories as best I could even as phantom pain ran across the areas where the whiskers were, "They cut alongside my whiskers and then pressed the whiskers into the wounds as deeply as possible," I closed my eyes as the memory played through my mind, "The doctor my caretakers had couldn't remove them because of how deeply they were buried without causing me to scar badly."

My eyes opened when I felt his thumbs under my eyes and looked at them as they moved away. I caught sight of something glistening on them and reached up to feel wetness. I had been crying. I frowned slightly since I was over what happened. I had thought all my tears had died a long time ago. Law speaking tore me from my thoughts, "I can remove them from your cheeks if you wish."

I shook my head after thinking about it, "No they've been like that for most of my life and I've gotten used to them," I smiled up at him as I pointed out, "You have the tattoo's on your fingers and I have my whiskers."

Law chuckled as his eyes glowed with amusement, "True."

My stomach chose that moment to growl causing me to blush. Law chuckled again prompting me to glare at him, "Can you please get off me? I want to go see if breakfast is ready yet."

He snorted and shook his head, "It probably isn't."

"So I could use the time before to shower," I pointed out.

He seemed to consider it before saying, "I would, but it seems you don't want me to."

I looked at him in confusion before feeling my tail move. Realizing that I had yet to let go of him, I removed my tail and smirked at him, "Looks like I've let you go. Please get off."

Law chuckled before pressing his body against mine once more, "I don't think I will. You're rather comfortable."

My blush returned full force as I felt him brush against me. I decided to use my actual strength and pushed him off of me before leaving my bed. He looked at me in slight surprise and I realized that I had caught him off guard. I probably couldn't have done that if I hadn't. My tail swished behind me as I said, "Maki is looking for you and I believe it is important."

I turned away from him and walked over to my dresser while hoping he just leaves. I heard him move and sighed softly in relief. I was surprised when I felt arms around my waist and Law's breath against my still transformed ears, "How would you know if it's something important?"

I was slightly caught off guard, but pushed it down as I tried to ignore how warm he felt, "Maki sounded frustrated which means something happened."

"You sound so sure," I suppressed a shiver.

"That's because I know my best friend," I replied and felt more than heard him chuckle.

He couldn't stop himself from chuckling at how sure she sounded though loath as he is to admit it, she was probably right. His crew were not very smart when it came to parties and often acted as reckless hormonal teens when drunk. Someone had probably had broken something. The woes of being both the captain and doctor of such a crew. He sighed under his breath and felt her shudder against him. Biting back a hiss from the contact, he removed his arms and moved away from her. Being in close contact with a female so early in the morning and just after waking up was a bad idea, he decided as he realized just how hard he was at the moment. He turned and began to leave her room as he commented dryly, "I suppose I should go see how idiotic my crew decided to be this time."

Ariun giggled and he assumed she found some form of amusement in his tone. Her comment as he reached the door to her room caused him to chuckle, "You sound like this isn't the first time they've done something stupid."

He turned his head as he opened the door, "Ariun-ya you've met them and saw how they acted last night. Do you really believe they wouldn't do something stupid?"

Ariun hummed and shrugged her shoulders as her tail swished behind her, "True. My bet is someone broke an arm," She tapped her chin with a slight grin, "Maybe they played drunk truth or dare, people always end up with either a new tattoo or some kind of piercing."

"And you would know that?" He gave her a raised eyebrow and she huffed at him.

Rolling her eyes, she turned back to her dresser and opened it, "The idiots that came into the tattoo parlor during my late night shifts were always drunk. They either wanted a tattoo of some embarrassingly stupid thing or a tattoo all because their drunk buddies dared them to do it," She giggled softly, "They ended up paying more money for it cause my former boss was such a stupid miser."

Law chuckled and left her room. As much as he would like to continue the conversation, he needed to take a cold shower and find out which idiot did something stupid this time. He frowned at the cold shower part. He was going to add that to the reason for her punishment. Come to think of it, what should he do to punish her?
