Married Law & Luffy

'Anger is root cause of all troubles Law' this would have been his father Corazon's advice. "Love is the problem, never fall in love boy' this would be words from his uncle Doffy. Though the whole family knew advice from uncle Doffy was useless, nihilistic and destructive, yet right now Law couldn't help but agree with his pink obsessed uncle.

Love was his problem. It was always love that was Trafalgar Law's problem. After fifteen years of marriage, love was still his problem only now his love had shifted from movie nights out to rented DVD nights in. In honesty he was tired and he wanted to sleep; it was before the fight broke out. Oh yes there was a fight hence the reason of his stiff body on the right side of bed, yet he knew he was on wrong side. Every fight he ever had with his husband was always because of love. Today it was not one of those fights where Law knew he was at fault and Luffy just harped about it for few minutes and a dinner date would fix his husband's mood.

No it was not Luffy's fault either that made Law snap at him. All his husband of fifteen years had done was ask him about his friend Sachi. Yes it was always Sachi that sparked fight among them. Law still recalled the day he spotted a young teenager paddling at his university clinic, Sachi was witness to the first words he had with Luffy. Sachi had joked about the best pick up place Law found three months later when Luffy first met Law's circle of friends, distorting the simple 'hello' they shared into a bizarre erotic fantasy. Sachi got on his nerve that night eighteen years ago so did he tonight. The first fight he had with Luffy. The fight was out of guilt of loving Luffy, Law had fought with Luffy that night on a topic that could never be reason for anything remotely related to dark thoughts- Luffy's selfless smile.

After their first fight Luffy was wide awake with puffed eyes and trembling body next day sitting on the couch. Law had traumatized the teen to fall ill. How guilty Law was to have hurt Luffy then, how guilty he was right now! Law cared too much about what others thought about him and Luffy. This was the very reason he fought again tonight with Luffy who never cared about others. It was always about them and others- Law and Luffy versus the world but Luffy refused to see the bad in world. Hence he snapped at Luffy when Luffy said Sachi meant no harm with his discriminating jokes.

He snapped hard and harsh, Luffy had come paddling slowly towards him when he returned after drinking night. Luffy knew he was tired from a day full of surgeries; he had made Law sit on the chair and made him drink water. All Luffy did, his dark haired thirty seven year old husband do was ask a question. "How was the party? Did you enjoy? How is Sachi?" Luffy had softly asked rubbing circles on Law's back as the taller flopped on couch. In another time in some universe he would have flopped into Luffy's arms and unloaded his worries. But no this was his reality.

What he did? He snapped an answer to which Luffy gave a small innocent reply. Law forced his anxiety about the condition of the patient he operated, the stress of working for hours and Sachi's hard nut joke on Luffy. Yes he was blaming it on Sachi again, it was always that shit eating bastard. The red haired had simply said Law always had sexy cheerful maid waiting in the house. Law had retorted back hard with a punch and left the dinner. Yes they were married couple, two guys bound in love, shoving their poles inside each other and pleasuring each other. They were two men sharing a home and loving each other. Yet people found it hard to accept the wedding band they both wore.

Every time Sachi had insulted Luffy, he had almost killed Sachi. It was a cycle, but Luffy was kind to Sachi. The story should have ended there with Luffy's forgiveness in another version of the tale. But no what he did? He yelled at Luffy for being over-trusting, too friendly, nice, caring, naive and to top it all Law called his husband stupid just like the elementary kids Luffy taught.

Love was his curse and he had no one to fall back on to but Luffy. Law rolled on his side of the bed, his thoughts were jumbled and going in circles. The curtains were tired and dawn was breaking. He had not turned once to find if Luffy had slept or not. At forty four Law had run out of the honeymoon spirit like his goatee from youth that had turned into french cut beard. Roses were for young lovers and frozen beans were for old married couple like them. This I don't worry anymore attitude projected to Luffy was keeping him awake and he was feeling his guilt rise with every second spent counting rays of sunlight.

Law slowly pushed his body towards the center of their old bed. He would curl up and sneak a hand around Luffy's waist and pretend to be deep asleep like he always did, a trick Luffy pretended to be oblivious about. The warmth that generally is spread out on the blue sheets was not there when Law's arm crawled out in a twisted way. He turned around to find the pillow dent free and the side of the bed that belonged to his husband was wrinkle free. Fuck yourself if you don't jump out of bed now Law hissed. Old or new, Roses or Frozen beans love was love.

In no fights Luffy had ever left home or not slept in the bed, but if he did the impossible tonight, the blame was on Law. If his brother-in-laws found out they would draft divorce paper with morning newspaper. If his father found out, the tripping man would set his house on fire in attempt to fix things up and uncle Doffy would have thrown a party for sure. No matter what he did, what he spoke, how he behaved, Law loved Luffy. Law flopped off their bed kicking the thin blanket, forgetting his slippers; he walked out of the only bedroom in the tiny apartment. The drawing room was empty. A fear crept inside Law. His rude behavior had finally made Luffy leave him. After years of silent resistance Luffy had left him. The wedding photograph on the wall both had taken fifteen years ago was staring back at Law. How happy both were to have friends and family to wish them up and what had Law done, always live in an anger against the world.

His feet hissed against the cold tiles when he saw the slumped shadow in kitchen. The kitchen was chilly and on the two sitters dining table Luffy's head was buried inside the piles of albums Luffy had crafted over the years and an bowl full of chips had turned soggy beside his husband's raven head. He hurt Luffy bad and Law's regret sky rocketed. The window was open and the wind had turned Luffy into a cold structure of yellow porcelain. Yes Law was a first class idiot he forced his husband to endure the cold wind in sadness while he enjoyed the comfort of bed. "Love… lets go to bed. I was rude, fucking jerk to yell at you. Its bloody hell my mistake Let's go.. come on... But I love you, forgive me" Law slowly picked Luffy up from the table and Luffy blinked at Law with sleepy eyes.

Luffy opened his arms with a soft smile that meant Law was forgiven, on instinct Law picked him up with a bear hug. "I Love You.. I am so sorry.. please let this idiot make it up to you" Law inhaled the smell of his husband now drifting back to sleep.

"You are debarred from attending drinking parties forever Traffy" Luffy mumbled before slumping on Law's chest.

This was marriage you forgive but never forget.

Lionel Orlando, this is not your requested roles, but I had an itch to write matured, middle age nearing married Law and Luffy :)

This is more of a reflection story of a middle aged man. So the guilt is recurring, I think most fights in real long marriage are on stupid reason. Hope you liked it.
