Law set me down on the sink and walked over to the waiting bathtub. Much like his room, the bathroom was done in black's, yellow's and small amounts of white dots. He had a shower stall that was big enough for two people which made my mind conjure up various images of the fun to be had in there. I shook off those images as Law walked over and set his hands on either side of my hips. Even when sitting on the sink, I still had to look up at him. He smirked down at me, "I'm going to grab the bag with your night clothes in it. You can either undress yourself or I'll do it for you, but do not get off the counter."

Without another word, he left me sitting on the counter. I was tempted to wait for him, but pushed that idea away since I could get undressed by myself. I grabbed the edge of my shirt and began to pull it up. I got it halfway up before realizing that I couldn't exactly get it off without bending and bending caused my stitches to pull a little. I knew I should have worn one of my button down shirts. I sighed softly and let my shirt fall back into place just in time for Law to return. He gave me a raised eyebrow as he set the bag with my night clothes in it on the counter not far from me. With a small sigh, I explained, "I can't get my shirt off without bending in someway which causes my stitches to pull a little."

Law smirked at me in reply and grabbed the edges of my shirt. I rolled my eyes as I lifted my arms up and he pulled my shirt off with ease. He seemed slightly surprised by the absence of a bra and asked, "No bra?"

"They're a pain in the ass to deal with and would only hinder me in a fight, so I usually wear chest wraps," I explained, "And with my injury, I can't wear one because of where it is,"

Law's smirk returned as he heard that. So that meant she didn't have any bras, it actually made sense now that he thought about it. He had been wondering why Ariun hadn't been complaining about her things going missing in the wash, "Hm...That explains why nothing of yours has gone missing."

"What do you mean?" She looked slightly confused.

"The twins have a habit of stealing bras from whoever they end up bedding," He explained making Ariun's eyes widen.

"That's why they asked about that," Her eyes narrowed, "And they try to play down their perverted natures,"

Law chuckled at that, "Everyone on the crew save for Bepo and I are perverts."

She offered him a look and said, "You're not a pervert? Every guy's a pervert in someway."

"Oh and how exactly am I perverted?" He tossed her shirt into the laundry basket before setting his hands on her hips.

She hummed softly and reached up to tap her chin with one of her fingers, "Hm...Let's see how are you perverted," She offered him a dry look as his thumbs hooked themselves into the waistband of her pants, "Example one is this," She waved a hand towards her hips though she made no attempt to remove his hands, "Example two: All the times you touch my whisker-scars," He smirked at her, "And when you touch my ears," He chuckled at that, "The morning after we stargazed together comes to mind as well."

"Your tail wouldn't let me move off of you," He pointed out gaining a small shrug from her.

"You tried to keep me in bed even after I removed my tail," He chuckled at that.

"Hm...True," He smirked at me, "Let's get you out of your pants. It's time for us to have our bath,"

My face heated which I hoped was unnoticed since steam had begun to fill the room as I willed my ears and tail away. Law had me place my arms around his neck and hold onto him as he finished helping me get undressed. Once my pants and underwear were off, He removed the bandages on my chest and checked me over before nodding to himself. He picked me up and walked over to the almost full tub before carefully setting me in the water. I let out a low moan at the wonderful feeling of scalding hot water gaining a chuckle from him. He turned off the faucet as I closed my eyes in joy at the heat the water gave me. My eyes snapped open not even three minutes later at feeling his arms around me. I squeaked as he picked me up and got into the tub before settling me on his lap, "Is this necessary?"

He chuckled and the sound reverberated through my back, "Of course. Can't have you slid in and not be able to pick yourself up."

"Couldn't we have showered?" Why had I asked this earlier?

I shuddered slightly as he breathed out against the back of my neck, "You can't stand on your own."

I wanted to move away, but the heat kept me where I was. He wrapped his arms around me and pressed me against his chest. Part of me wanted to struggle against him, but I decided to push that part of me away and enjoy the moment as I laid my head on his shoulder. One of his hands found it's way to my chin and turned my head towards his. He was smirking at me making me want to glare at him, "What?"

"I'm surprised you haven't attempted to push me away," He commented in reply.

"I would have if it weren't for the heat surrounding me," I admitted with a small sigh, "Ever since I ate my devil fruit, I've become more passive when I'm surrounded by heat like this,"

"Interesting," He pulled his hand away from my chin and reached for one of the bottles lining the tub, "You're likely to fall asleep like this, aren't you?"

I nodded feeling slightly sleepy, "Yes."

He definitely like this side of her and would most likely find ways to get her into this position. He briefly wondered what would happen if he tried anything before pushing that thought away. He had to wait until she was healed because while it would be enjoyable, he wasn't sure how her body would handle it. With that in mind, he went about getting her cleaned up.

By the time Law had finished washing my hair, I was ten seconds from falling asleep. The man was really skilled with his hands. The thought made me blush as I wondered how skilled he was at using them for more pleasurable acts. The roughness of the wash rag was using to clean me stirred me from my thoughts. He had pushed me forward slightly to clean my back. I felt him pause near the middle of my back prompting me to remember the tattoo I had there.

Law stared at the tribal dragon design in surprise. The river dragon was done in a dark blue almost black ink. The tail was curled around what looked to be a bouquet of sweetpeas. He asked softly, "What's this tattoo for?"

"The old man," Ariun's voice was soft, "I got it a month after he died. The dragon is him. The sweetpeas represent me saying goodbye because I wasn't able to do so,"

Law was quiet the rest of the time he helped me bath which was a surprise. I wondered what was going through his mind, but pushed that thought away as he stood up with me in his arms. He stepped out of the tub and grabbed one of the nearby towels before setting me on the counter. He wrapped the towel around me and grabbed one for himself. I immediatly began drying off while wondering why Law hadn't cleaned himself up. As if he noticed what was going through my mind, he said, "I shower in the mornings."

"Why not make me wait to bath until the morning?" I asked as I began drying my hair.

"Because you needed a bath as soon as possible and I didn't want to sleep next to you while you smelled like that," I nodded at the reasons even if it sucked to hear him say I smelled bad even if those weren't his exact word, "Don't you feel better?"

"Much," I replied as I tried my best to dry off.

Law seemed to notice my difficulty and chuckled as he wrapped his towel around his waist before he took my towel. He began helping me dry off and within moments, I was almost completely dry. Once I was dry, Law took care of my injury as I grabbed my nightclothes. He helped me pull my clothes on before picking me up and taking me back into his room. I was glad that I hadn't made a sound this time. He set me on his bed after pulling back the covers and I immediatly laid back while stretching out slightly. Law snorted as I closed my eyes, "You do realize that I'm going to be sleeping in my bed as well, right?"

I didn't bother answering as I cuddle into his bed and marveled at how soft it was. I heard something drop onto the ground and cracked open an eye as I turned my head to see what had happened. My cheeks heated up almost immediatly upon seeing Law without his towel on. He was turned away from me and walking over to the large dresser against the wall. My eyes drifted over his back and marveled at the jolly roger he had tattooed there. My eyes drifted downward and goddamn did he have a nice ass. It was probably the nicest one I've seen on a guy so far. I quickly closed my eyes as I caught sight of Law turning and I mentally smacked myself for doing that. Some part of me pointed out that Law had seen me naked, so it was only fair that I got to see him naked. Another part of me pointed out that I was planning on sleeping with him in the non-innocent way, so seeing him naked didn't mean shit. If anything, seeing him naked was a preview and tell me just how large he was. I mentally groaned just as I felt a hand on my cheek. I cracked open an eye and looked at Law, "Yes?"

"Move over," He ordered making me snort.

"Too comfortable," I closed my eye.

Law lifted her up gaining that amusing little squeal of hers and settling on his bed. He laid back after settled her next to him and pulled the covers back as he laid back. Once that was done, he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her against him. He smirked at her as her eyes opened and glared at him, "What's with that look Ariun-ya?"

"I was comfortable damnit," He was surprised to hear her growling.

"Comfortable or not, it's my bed and I'm sleeping in it," She continued to growl at him.

Without really thinking about it, he leaned down and pressed his mouth to hers. She stopped growling immediatly as he licked her bottom lip. She didn't open her mouth immediatly prompting him to nip at her bottom lip. Once she opened her mouth to gasp, he slipped his tongue in and took in her flavor as he coaxed her tongue to play a game with his. She tasted of chocolate, strawberries, and spiced rum which made an oddly delicious flavor that he enjoyed. When they broke apart, Ariun's body had relaxed fully and she closed her eyes. In seconds, she was asleep causing him to smile. The next two weeks were definitely going to be fun.
