Hello everyone! Thank you for the reviews, follows and favorites for the first chapter3 To be honest I didn't expect so much bwhaha (oh and I am rather new to uploading things on ). Today I you bring the second chapter, filled with some fluff. It's short and I apologize. According to my notes, next chapter's going be more lengthy ;)
Also, I try to update whenever I can, but I've got another weekly fanfic running as well so my updates are rather slow :x
English isn't my first language, so if you find any mistakes, feel free to point them out (/*V*)/~* (It makes me happy 3)
It's been a week since Monkey D. Luffy started his driving courses at Driving School Heart. Trafalgar Law, his instructor, also remembers the teen's first lesson; a thing that almost ended the man's life during that day (physically and mentally).
He knows the boy for only an hour, but Law already has a good idea of what type of person Monkey D. Luffy is. Luffy isn't just any nineteen-year-old boy. Despite his reckless, wild driving skills, he is quite confident in himself and is not afraid to tell it to the world either. He's always laughing or grinning, even if the circumstances are bad or when he just manages to escape a life-death situation. Luffy is fearless, but also childish as he does not listen to Law's instructions at all.
Law doesn't like teaching him.
Trafalgar Law's average apprentices are either female students swooning over him because he is an attractive man, or sweating learners who have no confidence in themselves which makes the man even wonder why they want to learn to drive in the first place.
But Luffy fits in none of the two groups. Not even in between.
Today there is a new day to spend more time with the younger raven-haired, but no preparation is enough for Monkey D. Luffy.
Just like previous week, Law waits near Dawnstreet 174 in the car again. He expects some blasting explosion and colossal outbreak from the younger teen, but gets slightly disappointed when Luffy appears from the front door like any other normal person. Behind him is an old gray-haired man waving at him, probably the same guy as the one that Law had spoken to during their first phone call.
Luffy walks with a wide grin on his face towards the white training car and opens the door to sit in the driver's seat next to Law. "Yo Traffy," he greets casually.
"It's Mr. Trafalgar for you," the instructor corrects while feeling annoyed by the fact that he has to teach the boy more than just driving.
"Luffy-ya, you have to show me what you still remember."
"Sure," he replies clearly, already wanting to start the car. Law sighs in respond, suddenly recalling that Luffy didn't like to wear his safety-belts and has to put it on himself. He leans over the boy, grabs the belt and locks him to put him in safety. Fortunately, he teen doesn't struggle although he responds with a whine, complaining about feeling 'restricted' again.
"Tra-guy..." the pouting boy whines. The nick name results the man in disappointment, but gaves up on correcting it. He's not going to waste more time on educating him, not today.
"Just drive the car," Law orders, wanting to start the lesson now, which Luffy did. Law thoroughly checks the area around him before the student begins to drive, as he doesn't want to send someone to the hospital. Luffy is an irresponsible driver after all.
And irresponsible he stays.
After tutoring for one and a half hour in total, they still haven't managed to get out of the town. Not that Luffy is ready for the highway, but having a first taste of the freeway is something that Law always plans in his student's tutoring.
Obviously, not for this nineteen-year-old.
No matter how sharp Trafalgar Law is, even teaching Luffy might be far too challenging. For now, the current place is difficult enough for both of the males. There's a lot of roundabouts in this town and by the way Luffy is steering, the man just can't allow the boy on the main road yet.
"Luffy-ya, switch to gear two whenever you have to take a turn," Law insists, trying to sound as calm as possible despite having a bad feeling about it. Whenever the teen has to steer, Law unconsciously grabs his left chest, probably from the pressure. These lively lessons might become one of his last moments and Law wouldn't be surprised if the car just flips over or bumps straight into another vehicle.
Despite Law's warnings, Luffy doesn't slow down and the man can feel the car tilting to the right.
How much he wishes that the boy is actually able to feel a tiny sense of danger.
The is flat on the road and of course Luffy is laughing about the whole situation. His smile gets bigger by every survival and the older raven-haired has no idea what to think of it. Is he even taking his lessons seriously?
"Luffy," Law calls, dropping the 'ya' as he wants to sound more intimidating. "If you don't listen, we go into a skid," he warns in a more threatening tone.
The boy with the straw hat doesn't falter despite Law's seriousness, dropping another smile. "But..." Luffy starts, also making a serious expression. "Isn't it more adventurous this way?" he grins as he shows his face towards the taller male, leaving the man in awe and his eyes off the road. The smile is bright, dazzling and captures him in every way. It causes a weird tickling in his stomach and his body temperature seems to risen for a strange reason.
Maybe he did lie about not liking to teach Luffy.
Law didn't mean to be drawn into Luffy's beaming aura, but he can't help but admire him during moments like these, even if the boy's personality goes against his usual morals. However, perhaps Luffy's brash and daring attitude is what makes the teen so appealing. Maybe Law needed such a person in his boring, uneventful life, now that he has finally met someone.
Law isn't quick to feel attracted to someone at all, but he has to admit that he there is something going on. Perhaps, if it's Luffy, maybe he could...
However, all fantasy and dreamy thoughts are interrupted when they almost struck into a giant truck in front of them, which brought him back to reality.
Finally, almost...
Almost he was pulled into Luffy's carefree pace.
...
"Driving doesn't work that way!"
Next chapter, Law will be perverting bwahaha I'm sorry ._.
