Lonely Luffy & Friendly Law
"What's his name?" was an innocent query, placed to the sea-king meat seller. "You mean that brat wayfaring there" the shopkeeper asked looking at seaside, where a short guy was playing alone in the water. "Yeah, that guy with strawhat, and I think he has a cut mark below his eye" the questioner observed. "Sir, you are a newcomer to this town, hence you won't know him" the meat seller began to dice the meat.
"But what's his name? Sir is too formal for me, its Trafalgar Law" the reply came. "Mr. Law he is Luffy, Monkey D Luffy, a bloody orphan" the man almost spat. "So what if he is an Orphan?" Law asked. "He carries evil blood, as I said you are new to this town. You will learn eventually Mr. Law. Better keep away from trouble. That will be 237 berri" the shopkeeper flashed a crooked smile. "Thank you" Law takes his purchase and turns around to look at Luffy. But the boy was gone. That was the third time Luffy held Law's vision and psyche only to vanish next moment.
"Say Bepo… do you know Luffy?" Law asks the town hustler. "Not particularly, but occasionally I see him in the practice arena fighting punching bags. Man he is strong, blood of demons run in him. How bad is my injury doctor?" Bepo asks as Law runs his fingers on the ankle. "It's not a serious one, but, you are to be on complete rest for two weeks and no hustling until I say otherwise" Law pats the big guy on the knee. "Did Luffy do something? I can ask my mates to warn him, softly of course" Bepo asks with concern.
"Oh… no.. no.. I just see him alone all the time, I was worried. I hardly see him talking to anyone" Law wraps the bandage around the sprained ankle. "He is a peculiar one, that guy I tell you" Bepo huffs. "Why do you say so?" Law doesn't look up. "His family is weird" Bepo mumbled. "I heard he was orphan" Law asks softly. "Yeah was weird... something happened, he lost his family members one after another… he was thirteen-year-old I think."
"When was that?" Law asks. "Roughly twelve years" Bepo flicks his ankle with a smile. "Living on his own for that long... without anyone?" Law was shocked. "His family left him a delicious fortune, he will live longer than us with that much in his kitty" Bepo stood up from the couch. If only money solved everything Law sighed and let the hustler out of his chamber.
Law again sees Luffy, now bicycling out of the Downtown. No sign of anger, fear or sorrow emitted from that face below the strawhat with old red ribbon, rather once red now soiled. It was a face that had stopped caring. But a small smile was always etched to the face. A smile with a meaning Law wanted to decode. The bicycle was slowly moving, carefully avoiding the high school girls eying the rider. It cut past the herd of housewives waiting for the afternoon sale bell. It stopped at the pedestrian crossing and let the elderly pass. The smile did not weaver though many scorns and frowns followed him.
It was a smile born out of being uncared. Law kept staring at the rider, getting lost among the multitude. "Where does this path lead to?" Law asks, pointing the path to the traffic police with white hair. "The stupid D estate" the police informs. "D Estate?" Law asks. There used to be a family of D, Monkey D's and there were other Ds who owned this town century back. Bunch of evil souls. Now only one bastard is left and he owns that estate.
"Mr. Luffy?" Law asks. "Yup that brat owns it, evil I tell you runs in their veins" the police brings out a cigar and drinks the smoke next moment. Law was more worried now, a rich young man disliked a town of thousands.
"How's my little Lawsy" Law holds the den-den phone a foot away from his ears. "Dad, I can hear you perfectly! You don't have to yell" Law speaks out loud. "Ouch… that hurt my eardrums" the father hissed. "Good now we are equal" Law fell on the bed. "Are you alright son?" the concerned voice takes over. "Hey dad… how did you feel when, grandpa and grandma left and that uncle Doffy turned into a delinquent?" Law blurted out.
"When mom and dad died, I felt insecured, definitely scared, lonely…. Very lonely and Doffy multiplied my despair. I still recall that idiot's words 'Corazon! Weak have no right to choose their path of death!' I had to shout after him but he unheard my every word!... So yeah for a while I was bloody lonely…. ooo my…." Remnants of a loud crash entered Law's ears. "I am fine! Just fine, I may have broken a cup or two, cut my thumb and bruised my forehead. I am fine Law" Corazon informed. "I gave up worrying after you, a long time back… you will survive" Law sighed.
"So tell me how did you get over your loneliness?" Law asked. "I met a woman, we had passionate nights. One day she comes banging on my door. Informs me I knocked her up and I was to pay for it… I made sure that I got full custody of yours, I paid her a hefty sum and you killed my loneliness" "Shut up will you, we both know she tricked you into believing I was your biological son" Law laughs. "Blood Doesn't matter... You are my son. You were born, you were raised, you were happy and you gave me hope! You are my gift from gods" Corazon turned mushy.
"Stop it, you sentimental ball of fur" Law groaned. "But why is my grumpy son talking about my past?" Corazon asked. "There is a guy..." "You are in love! Oh my GAWD" Corazon yelled. "Shut up and listen to me will you!" Law yelled. "Okay… Okay" Corazon held his grinning voice. "There is this guy, no one here talks to him. He lost his parents and the few people I spoke to about him, are not friendly about him. I want to talk to him. He looks lonely in a way, guarded for sure" Law sighed.
"Then talk to him, who is stopping you?" Corazon asked. "No one" Law replied. "Then stop brooding, when you see him next time, say a hi!" the father smiled. "It's not that easy, you should know it" Law grumbled. "It never is, but someone has to take care of the single cactus in midst of fancy flower garden Law" the father sighed. "I will talk to him. Thanks dad" Law sat up.
"Anything and Anytime for a son" Corazon smiled.
His chance to approach Luffy comes three days later, "Sorry… we ran out of sea-king meat, but we do have Fighting Seal's meat" the sea-king meat seller spoke when Luffy arrived and stood beside Law with his basket. "Oh… then I will take that" the voice suddenly dropped to turn into a less cheery one and Law couldn't help but look at the small frame beside him. "Mr. Luffy… actually I bought around three kilos of the meat, you can have it. I don't mind eating fighter seal" Law finally spoke.
"Why would you do that?" Luffy spoke back. "Because you look so disappointed" Law smiles. "But…" Luffy is cut in middle of conversation when Law puts his purchase in Luffy's basket. "It must be important; I have never seen a person pout at news of meat unavailability. It must be crisis for you" Law speaks and Luffy's jaw drops. "Please give me fighting seal meat" Law turns around, while Luffy keeps gaping at the taller man. "How much do I pay you?" Luffy finally asks. "Let's leave money out of it Mr. Luffy" Law gently smiles. "But I don't even know your name! And why do you even know my name? Who are you anyway?" Luffy shirked. "My mistake, I am Trafalgar Law. The new doctor at Town Hospital, nice to finally talk with you" Law smiled.
"I have to pay you" Luffy almost cried. "No… you don't. I am not showing you kindness. Trust me, I just had a change of taste" Law patted Luffy on the head, who was still in a shock. "Now… now… please excuse me Mr. Luffy… I have a chamber to look after" Law waved bye to a gapping Luffy under the blissful sun.
In the evening, Law can't help but smile at himself. He forced himself to talk to Luffy, and in a twisted way Luffy communicated. Now he was staring at the kitchen counter and staring at the chunk of fighter seal meat. He proudly lied to Luffy that he was in mood for fighter seal meat. In truth he had no idea how to cook this kind of meat, no in better version of this truth he had never tasted this meat. His cooking expertise were limited to rice, potatoes, few vegetables and meat products similar to sea-king.
Calling his father was out of question. His father knew only one thing to make that was edible and it was called coffee. Law walked around looking for a cookbook, hoping to find a recipe to save himself. With fourth cup of coffee in his own system, Law was walking around like a zombie in search of a brain to feed on. That's when his doorbell rang. It was rare for patients to come looking for him at night. Most of the time they called him up in case of emergency.
Law rushed towards the door to find an unexpected reality. A small frame was standing at his door. The strawhat had no purpose in the night, but it was still there. The skinny legs were in ripped off trousers and a red shirt covered the petty upper frame. "Mr. Luffy?" Law was surprised.
"Ummm… good evening" the smaller guy was blushing with nervousness. "Please come in" Law opened the door and let Luffy inside. "What a surprise! Mr. Luffy yo.. you .. s...hould have told me that you were visiting me tonight" Law was nervous, now that he was in close proximity with Luffy who was a red tomato. "Could you put on a shirt please" Luffy mumbled. "Huh?" Law asked. "A shirt..." Luffy spoke.
Law finally realized he was walking around in sweatpants. "Oh… yeah… just a minute" Law grabbed the nearest t-shirt that lay on the couch. "Better?" the doctor asked. "Yeah" Luffy nodded and forwarded his right hand holding a box. "What is this?" Law asked. "Sea-king chops" Luffy informed. "But, you needed them" Law spoke. "Yes, I did. I made my dishes and fed them to the people it was meant for. I saved few for you. Thank you for today" Luffy stared into Law's shinny grey eyes. "You saved them for me?" Law repeated and the younger nodded.
"Thank you, please have a seat" Law pulled Luffy by the hand and made him sit on the couch. "No let me put them in a dish" Luffy stood up and his eyes travelled to chunks of meat on the kitchen counter opposite. "Don't tell me you can't cook fighter-seal" Luffy asked. Law looked away. "Look at me Tra..flii.. Tra.. fla.. flawed? How do I pronounce your name?" Luffy popped a vein with an annoyed voice. "Just call me Law" the taller sighed.
"Why did you lie? I know you can't cook fighter-seal, I felt it the moment you muttered in afternoon" Luffy hissed. "Look I wanted to befriend you, you were in a pinch and I wanted to help you" Law sighed again. "And, I am not showing kindness. Stupid Man"Luffy stormed inside Law's kitchen despite the taller protesting. "Please be seated, I shall fix this for you. Don't be so kind that it harms you! Idiot for a doctor" Luffy forced the box of chops in Law's hand and instructed him to eat them.
As Law munched on the sea-king chops, he saw Luffy boil water on his stove and drop a pinch of salt in it. The chops were tasty, before Law realized he was munching his third. "These are delightful Mr. Luffy" Law spoke with full mouth. "Luffy… just Luffy" the shorter now bought down the warm salted water and drop the chunk of fighter- seal meat in it. "Luffy… you are good" Law felt awkward at the jump from Mr. Luffy to Luffy in twelve hours.
"Thanks, when one lives alone, he has to perfect some survival instincts into art" Luffy spoke without looking up as he begun dicing the vegetables. "What happened to your family?" Law asked, now his box was swiped clean. "Lost my grandpa to some war, my elder brothers got killed in business feud, my father was leader of rebellion and I don't even know if he is alive or dead, never knew who my mom was, my relatives tried to trick the town people and ended up being chased out and now I am the only one that's left of D's. But all this happened one after another like domino effect, one day everybody was gone! Poof!" Luffy giggled.
"I am sorry" Law stood up, that giggle was sad. "Don't be" Luffy turned around and winked. "I am not sad depressed soul okay... a loner may be" Luffy was now cooking the sea-king meat with vegetables. "Would you mind, if I asked you to hang out with me?" Law tiptoed behind Luffy and the younger jumped up in surprise. "Don't sneak up on me! Idiot!" Luffy almost punched Law in the face. "You are tiny" Law smirked as the punch never reached his face, but sat five inches away from his face in the air.
"Yeah... I know! Make fun of my height! It must be fun to be over six feet and reach the moon huh? You are so tall that you have to stoop to talk to me! Or I am so small that you need a magnifying glass to find me" the shorter was touchy about height. "I am sorry… I didn't mean it that way. So sorry" Law patted the shorter's shabby head. "Now answer me! Will you be my friend?" Law smirked. "No" Luffy turned off the stove and covered the pot.
"Please eat your dinner, and next time don't buy fighter-seal meat" Luffy huffed past Law. "Goodnight Traffy" and the door shut behind. That was a terrible nick name! Law sighed. That fighter-seal dish Luffy cooked, made Law more determined to be Luffy's friend.
The more Luffy tried to avoid the new town doctor, the more his path crossed with him. He was at the sea-side waving his muscular arms. He too was a customer to the stupid meat-seller. On his riding path the hospital fell. In evenings he would find Law loitering around his estate.
After a week Luffy gave. "Why do you want to be my friend?" Luffy huffed. "Because I want to know what work you do?" Law smirk. "Huh?" Luffy frowned. "I meant, I want to know your profession, you must have an occupation" Law asked. "Seriously?" Luffy groaned. "Yeah" Law nodded. "I studied agriculture in college, I farm, I farm Devil Fruits*. Happy? Now leave!" Luffy groaned in defeat. "Devil fruits? Are they not the fruits, that are found only in the mountain ranges" Law asked. "Yup, that's how we are taught in school, but if the soil properties are similar, we can grow them here. Since Devil Fruits have medicinal properties, my family had been harvesting them for years. I plan to continue the tradition. And yes I own a factory, where jam, jellies, juice and pickles are made of Devil Fruits" Luffy pouted.
"An entrepreneur?" Law smiled. "Whatever… you call and my grandpa left a vineyard too" Luffy sighed. "Come to my home… no even better let's dine there" Law pulled Luffy against his wish to the fancy restaurant. "Hey… hey…" Luffy resisted. "A hard working guy deserves pampering" Law smiled. "I… listen to… me… I" Luffy was turning more irritated. "What?" Law stopped in middle of the entrance to the restaurant. "I have never been to such places, it's too crowded and sophisticated" Luffy bows his eyes.
"How do you do your business deals? If you don't meet your partners in restaurant" Law asked. "I meet them in my home, I cook for them and I feel at ease there" Luffy dropped his shoulder. "That means you cooked sea-king chops for your business meeting last week?" Law gave a big smile. "Yeah" Luffy smiled back. "Then I need to treat you in a fancy restaurant" Law dragged Luffy inside Baratie.
A month after dinning in Baratie, Luffy had resigned to his fate. Trafalgar Law was here to stay. Though the doctor was all smiles and reeked of positive vibes for Luffy, he in purest form was scary. His glare scared off whole town, even the scary-moody traffic police Smoker was careful with Law. The Doctor reeked of power in concentrated form.
Law had taken Luffy to film theatre after twelve years, he figuratively made Luffy bend to his whim. After so many years of being alone, Luffy was afraid. Law reminded him of his two dead brothers. A blend of smart mind, damn caring attitude with scary temper. The more Luffy tried to close his heart, Law with tiny gestures made Luffy go crazy. A sudden pat on the head, an unconscious caress on the arm, a slight push on the small of his waist. Law in general spoke less, but with Luffy he had his own chatty mind.
Over all Luffy was opening up to this volatile guy who happened to be a doctor. The closer Luffy inspected, the more he realized Law resembled a goon more than doctor. The guy had tattoo all over his body which he had first glimpsed in taller's house, he had pierced his ears, his eyes were always touched with eyeliner, which in a way artistically highlighted the dark circles he had. Law was a curious piece created by nature.
"So when do I get to visit your Devil Fruit farm? And taste the honey from your vineyard?" Law sits on the couch, a little too close for Luffy's harebrained heart. "I bought something for you, and I promise you a tour through the vineyard and farm. Just not now" Luffy opened his sling bag and bought out a green bottle. "DeVearth" Luffy mumbled as he placed the bottle on Law's lap.
"Sorry?" Law asked as he took the bottle. "Its name of my label" Luffy informed. "DeVearth? You named it? Explain" Law smiles. "De is derived from Devil Fruits and the heredity D of our name, in ancient tongue earth was called Vearth*, but here it means wine that grows from soil" Luffy grinned. The first grin Law saw in a month long friendship.
"DeVearth… beautiful" Law smiled. "Drink it and tell me how it tastes" Luffy smiled. "Of course I will" Law pulled Luffy into an embrace and the younger turned into a jelly.
Two months later Law realized, why Luffy never drank his own DeVearth. After a hard day at hospital, Law called up Luffy. He had coxed the younger to give his number. From his office den-den phone, Law called Luffy up. He warned Luffy, if the younger did not show up, he would drag his ass down. Luffy agreed and Law had got hold of Rain Dance*, Law was excited to make Luffy drink the commoner's alcohol.
In truth Law's hands were itching to hold Luffy close by his waist. He wanted to kiss Luffy's lean nape, and cuddle with him. But as a doctor he knew better than anyone that Luffy was practically out of human contact for over a decade, except his staff and fellow farmers. Law often wondered how this young heir managed things at tender age of thirteen. To complete his education, manage the farm and keep multiple business floating. He wanted to know, but Luffy was not open about his past. Law who was falling rapidly in bottomless pit of love, never wanted to harm the object of his affection.
Finally, when Luffy arrived with bagful of homemade snacks, Law was excited as toddler. In his excitement an hour or two later, Law made Luffy chug down a glass of Rain Dance. Five minutes later Luffy was hiccupping and fifteen minutes later dozing off and clinging to Law's arm. His closed eyes hidden under the dark bangs, round cheeks covered in vermilion hue, lips parted and small heavy breath escaping from them.
Law wanted to cup that adorable face, trace the cut mark with his lips and taste the lips which would make devil fruits sigh. But love either made criminals out of honourable creatures or made honourable soul out of a terrible human. Law chose to be the noble man. He ran his thumb over the soft lips and sighed. "So near, yet so far" Law kissed Luffy's forehead and the younger melted on Law's shoulder.
That night Law learned, Luffy was weak to alcohol, Luffy was too skinny and Luffy craved warmth. As Law tried to make Luffy sleep on the bed alone. Luffy refused to leave Law's arm. The smaller curled into a ball and hid his face in Law's chest, who in return cocooned the younger. Law decided this was paradise: two bodies below a thin sheet.
Luffy chose to be a blush baby unconsciously for next two weeks, after the Rain Dance incidence. If Law moved, the younger tried to morph into his surroundings. "Luffy if you keep blushing, I swear I will kiss you publically" Law warned. "I will kill you, I may look small, but I am very strong" Luffy hissed. "I know how strong you are" Law flopped on the floor with first aid box, opposite Luffy leaving no space for Luffy to run.
"Give me your hands" Law commanded. "Whh… why?" Luffy stammered. "I know, you destroyed three punching bags in hustler's arena" Law rolled his eyes. "No…oo…hho…. Who told you… I… did not…" Luffy was terrible liar, another perks for Law to learn and con for Luffy as a result of living alone for all these years.
"Bepo… give me your hands" Law pulled the purpled knuckles. "It's normal" Luffy looked away. "Of course it is, for a Bepo-size human to break down houses, but you! You are small... Before you start. Yes, I know you are strong. Still you tried to hide your pain from me! Am I not your friend?" Law asked. "Yes... you are" Luffy cried. "So… tell me when you are in trouble and stop thinking about the Rain Dance night will you, it was my mistake, stop thinking about it" Law bonked Luffy's head with his own.
"Ouch... what was that for?" Luffy hissed. "To keep you anchored in reality" Law kept messaging the bruise with ointment.
Law begins to palpate when he by mistake he watches Luffy's identity card. The younger had his birthday in a week. Luffy was trying to be discreet, but Law knew Luffy could not lie out of a celebration. But Law began to palpate exactly, when very nervously Luffy approached him. "On 5th of following month, it's my birthday. It's been years I celebrated my birthday. Since you are my only friend, I should celebrate with you. So on fifth keep your slot open, I owe you the private tour through the farm and vineyard" Luffy grinned.
Hence now Law was on his bed, sweating madly. His den-den phone resting few millimeters above his lips. "Hello dad… I need..." "…Law I swear…, I was not planning to burn it" Corazon's voice cut in. "Burn what?" Law asked. "Curtains" Corazon informed. "Since when did we start having curtains?" Law frowned. "I thought, we needed a change" the father mumbled. "You mean you put them on to impress her, so Sharley is going to my new mom?" Law asks. "We can talk about her later" Corazon mutters.
"Dad… it's his birthday in a week... What do I gift him?" Law again bursts. "Sex-toys? Are they not a craze among youngsters these days?" Corazon huffs. "We haven't kissed" Law hisses. "Son? You are in love are you not? It's been almost six months, and you haven't kissed?" Corazon was rolling on other side. "He is different" Law informed. "Hell yeah! He is! To keep my son on leash!" the father was having a fit of happiness. "Stop it! Tell me… Tell me… what to gift him?" Law asks again.
"If we were talking about girls, my task was easier. What to gift a boy. Give something he will cherish" Corazon informed. "What is worth cherishing?" Law growled. "Love… my boy love" the elder in conversation shouted. "But how do I express my love without scaring him?" Law yelled back.
"Don't complicate your life, stick with simple things. A bouquet, onsen pass, shoes, what matters is feeling boy" Corazon turns fatherly. "Thanks… and yeah I am pathetically in love" Law hung up before his father could yell his speech of happiness.
On Luffy's birthday, Law finds himself standing alone in front of the huge iron gate. Law decided to keep things simple and wore blue spotted trousers and yellow summer hoodie. A bouquet seemed safe and he got the biggest possible. "Law… wait a minute" Law sees a tiny dot waving at him from a considerable distance.
Luffy at last reaches the huge gate with a pink smile. "Sorry, most of the time I am alone, so this gate is closed. My staff and fellow farmers use another entrance" Luffy was far from birthday celebration. He was in sky blue work dungaree, slippers, and his patented strawhat. "You were working! What a surprise from the guy who asks me take a day off" Law pushed the flowers in Luffy's hands. "These are for me?" Law swears those deep large eyes twinkled.
"Ah… ha… there are twenty varieties, and we have twenty-five flowers from each variety in this bouquet" Law explained why the bouquet was so big. "How did you figure I turned twenty-five" Luffy asked inhaling the smell. "I peeped into your rider's license" Law shrugged. "Ou… come let's go. It's time for private tour" Luffy hugs Law's hand.
"Being bold are we now?" Law smirked. "You want to be punched?" Luffy pouted. "Only, if you kiss afterwards" Law pinches Luffy's cheek.
Luffy's Devil Fruit farm is a forbidden dream. Law watches the newly turned twenty and five gallop through his farm. Every imaginable and possible colour of fruits hung around. Some were finger size peeping through the green, others bigger than footballs.
"There are basically three types, you see. Parmecia, Zoan and Logia" Luffy had created a labyrinth of these trees. "We use the paramecias for pickles, jams, jellies and supply them in departmental stores as daily requirements. They are low maintenance, highly nutritious and cheaper you see. And Law you should see toddlers devouring them. Shishishi…." Law has his eyes glued to the boy. For the first time he was seeing Luffy laughing out in the open. A laugh that ruffled up the leaves to join in. "Here eat this" Luffy throws a heart shaped fruit at Law.
"What is this one?" Law asks. "The most expensive and tastiest of Parmecia's Ope-Ope" Luffy grins. "Why am I being fed such expensive fruit?" Law glared. "Because... It's my birthday and you are my best friend, it's good for heart! Eat up... eat up… oo that fence is sliding down" Luffy rushes towards a bush laddered on the bamboo fence. Law watches Luffy dig up earth and fix the fence while he devours his Ope-Ope. Okay it was tastiest fruit he ever had.
"The Zoans are cultivated mainly for animal fodder, they are edible and I like them, but I did market survey and animals prefer eating them more than humans. These rows are dedicated to Zoans, my brothers almost starved the Zoans once, it was tough reviving them" Luffy pulls Law by the hand deep into the farm. "Ceaser, this is Law" Luffy suddenly halted in front of a man with glasses who was busy testing the fruits with a needle. "Hello Law" the guy did not look up.
"He is the in-house chemist; he helps in balancing the fertilizers. I am particular about them" Luffy turned little grim. "You okay?" Law placed his hand Luffy's back. "Yeah... yeah... I am super excited, on to Vearth Yard shishishi" Luffy giggles.
The vineyard, takes away Law's breath. "This is Logia paradise" Luffy takes, Law through trees from which tiny suns hanged. "This is Yami-Yami... the darkest logia wine comes from this" Luffy pushes few in Law's lips. "These are Mera-Mera… when we crush them… it's like you are dancing in heatless fire… come let me show you" Luffy pulled Law into a clearing where a large a wooden tub sat. "On your left is the open garden, the kids from the villages can come take fruits of their liking and it also helps in warding off the South Birds too" Luffy grins and halts "You are late" two tall men hiss. "This is Zoro and this is Sanji, guys this is Law. They work with me" Luffy grinned. This was Luffy's world Law had no idea off.
Here the town outcast had created his own little world. Only communicating with people he needed and keeping things in linear pattern. Law wanted to hug Luffy, but two pair of glaring eyes stopped him. "Oye Luffy… don't take long okay… you have given everyone day off. So don't get lost" the green haired man spoke and the blonde winked. "I won't… see ya..." Luffy waved. "Happy birthday" both spoke in unison.
"Roll up your trousers" Luffy was already rolling his trousers up and washing his legs under the tube-well. Law followed his suit.
Few minutes after thorough cleaning and scrubbing of legs Law was knee deep into the wooden tub. His hands fused with Luffy's and both jumping and crushing sunset orange mera-meras. "Isn't it beautiful? shishishi" Luffy was lost, he was part of nature. Melted yet present. "Luffy" Law closely pulls the shorter into his embrace. "What happened twelve years ago?" Law asks softly. Luffy wraps his arms around Law's Torso.
"My youngest uncle Marshall D Teach, wanted to expand the Parmecia business, as you know my dad was already a popular fugitive, my grandpa in army hospital he took the chance. He tried to interfere with the Zoans and produce artificial fruits" Luffy sighed. "Ace and Sabo figured a darker plan hatched by another uncle, both ended up being victims in money feud, my uncle Crocodlie started that feud" Law could feel the younger shiver. "These two idiots tried to sell off the artificial zoans to town people. Children got sick, elderly almost died and many bad things happened. My uncles were beaten chased out of town, it was found fertilizer tempering and unauthorized experiments had led to large-scale health risk. I am not angry at people of town for hating us, the stupid Ds shishishi" Luffy giggles.
"All these years… you endured this alone?" Law picked up Luffy's chin. A forgiving smile graced him, this was the first smile that Law had seen. The smile he wanted to decode. "I was alone. But now I have you" Luffy grinned. "I have something for you" Law whispered.
"What?" Luffy asked and Law pulled out a red ribbon from his pocket. "I know that Strawhat is important, but that old ribbon has weathered for long, it needs rest" Law undid the older ribbon and tied the new shinny ribbon around the hat. "Thank you… its shinny" Luffy looks at his hat and begins to play in the orange fire. "Let's crush them all Trafalgar" Luffy grins. "You can pronounce my name?" Law hissed up. "Sure I can" Luffy runs madly inside the tub, crushing the fruits, making squish-squash noise and Law chases after him. Luffy giggles, his lean legs had turned orange and mischief tickled his toes. Law was enjoying the chase.
"Luffy… wait… I might die" Law holds his knees. Luffy paddles closer in a moment Law holds the thin wrist. "It's cheating" Luffy pouts. "I love you…." Law huffs. "You..." Luffy freezes for few moments. "I love you Monkey D Luffy" Law cups the round face.
"I… me.. love.. too… you" Luffy mumbles. "I take that as a yes" Law blushes and Luffy nods.
"May I kiss you?" Law asks and the younger almost melts into the mera-mera juice. "Luffy may I?" Law asks and other nods and pulls the taller towards him "Thank you Law….".
Law gently places his lips on Luffy's. The younger tiptoes and coils his hands around Law's neck. Law holds Luffy by the waist and pulls him closer. Law ran his tongue in and out of Luffy's hot mouth. Their tongues, lapped and rolled. Luffy shivered up at the tricks Law performed with the warm wet organ. Nope, Luffy's lips was the tastiest devil fruit in the world was Law's thought. Before his leg slipped and both fell in the orange pool.
"That... was your first kiss?" Law asked when both were scrubbing off the mera-mera pulps of each other under the water supply tank. "Umm … aa… ye.. yeshhhh" Luffy pouted. "Wow… you really are something" Law giggled. "Are you insulting me?" Luffy asked. "No… it's just like… going back to school" Law kissed Luffy's pulped forehead. "I love you" both spoke in unison.
