Laying there just looking at the ceiling it was true she hadn't full healed she knew that, her chest was still very heavy and it hurt to breath but she felt better she could move better now. Food would always make her feel better it seemed to be a family trait of some sort but she knew she had to listen to law he was only looking out for her, but she didn't want to be a burden to him. She knew she would have to train herself hard in order to improve her fighting capabilities. As she pondered the fact she needed to get stronger Bepo walked in rushing over to her side to tell her about the fish he had seen out the window Lacey laughed at his excitement. 'Why can't he sit with me and make me laugh.' Lacey said to herself thinking about law.
Law sat at his desk in the library laying his face down on the cold metal surface. 'She is an idiot' Law said to himself about the fact she wanted to remove the tubes and rods which were keeping her lung working and her ribs in place. He couldn't understand her stupidity at times she just didn't seem to understand the dangers in things, she didn't seem to understand she nearly died. 'Doesn't she get it? She nearly died! I nearly lost her' Law said to himself.
Law later checked on Lacey while she was asleep checking her vitals and making sure she was healing. He didn't really want to talk to her right now so he was careful not to wake her before wondering back to his room.
A full week had passed and Law refused to talk to Lacey he would explain her condition and tell her to rest but didn't talk directly to her and barely looked at her. Law finally removed the tubes and rods from her chest and told her she would still need to rest before leaving her alone sitting on the edge of the bed. Bepo came in to check on Lacey she was trying to stand up by herself with not much success and kept falling back on the bed. Bepo quickly came over to lend a hand to the young girl. 'Why is captain not here?' Bepo asked himself. Bepo had noticed Law spent less time with Lacey this past week which was odd because Bepo could see the captain cared about her he remembers his expression when he saw Bepo holding up the wounded girl he looked horrified as if he wanted to kill everyone in the room.
Lacey had started walking around more but despite her efforts of trying to talk to Law he insisted on ignoring her. Lacey sat on the sofa in the library watching Law reading a book at his desk 'I want to throw this book at him!' she said to herself looking at the book in her hands as she lifted it slightly and threw it in Laws direction hitting him on the head Law grunted but before he could say anything Lacey stood up quietly and left the room. Law sat for a few seconds trying to figure out what had just happened 'Why did she throw a book at me?' Law asked himself before slowly getting up and following Lacey. Once he caught up with her he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his room "Why did you throw a book at me?" Law stated coldly looking at his crew mate.
"Now you talk to me?" Lacey yelled pulling her wrist away from her captain "You don't talk to me for ages and now you want to ask why I threw something at you? I thought you were clever my dearest captain!" Lacey yelled before reaching for the door. Law grabbed both her wrists and pinned them against the door behind her head he pushed his body closer to hers and brought his lips quickly to hers kissing her roughly. 'He's kissing me!" Lacey thought to herself. Law removed his lips from hers and opened the door "No you can't kiss me like that and expect me to leave!" Lacey stated as she shut the door Law had just opened. Law had no idea what to do now yes he wanted to kiss her but he didn't think he would really do it, where do they go from here. Lacey tip toed to reach the taller man's face putting a hand gently on his cheek before kissing his lips softly, once she pulled away she smiled up at the man. Law didn't know what to do or how to react he didn't realise his body had moved on its own as he wrapped his arms around her.
