It's been a few months since the revelation that Law is apparently a reincarnation or doppelganger or whatever of the pirate Trafalgar Law. He always found it weird since, he did read about that pirate but, for some reason he never got to see a close up picture of the guy. He just assumed that it was a coincidence that they had the same name back then, it still was, an extreme one at that.

The murder of his uncle or "accident" had slipped from his mind in these few months, he hadn't thought about once since the day it happened. He got over it surprisingly faster than he thought he would but, from what he could remember when he woke the next morning, he didn't feel as guilty nor did he feel like it was his fault anymore. In a word, he felt refreshed like he was finally able to let go of the pain he had held onto for so long.

So, he here he is now, at the end of the school year. He's much closer to Sanji than he was a few months ago, they started talking about things normal friends talked about, like what they were eating for lunch, what to do after school, hobbies, homework etc. it was a weird connection for the both of them. They weren't used to talking to each other for so long, it deepened their friendship than it already was even though Sanji still had no idea about the demon in Law's closet.

And he wasn't about to know anytime soon.

It might have been the death of Law's uncle that made Sanji want to be closer to his friend or maybe it was because now Law no longer had a person to please and he needed another outlet and Sanji was the closest person that was able to give him that sense of satisfaction. Not in a sexual way like his uncle had done it, no, more like in a way that he knows he was able to make his friend happy even if just for a few minutes every day.

Law sighed, leaning against the railing of the schools roof. Overlooking the cars and students walking out of the school, he watched as groups of girls walked out together always noticing that one girl in every group looked as if she was being excluded, there were pairs that walked out together as well and he couldn't help but wonder if, maybe they were dating or if they're just best friends, and even the groups of guys that ran out together he wondered what stupid thing they were going to go do. He watched a bit longer until he heard a cough behind him and then a flick of a lighter.

He turned to see the familiar blonde staring back at him with his cigarette between his fingers and his iconic blonde hair covering his right eye. Law never understood the idea of this haircut, it's not like Sanji had anything to hide, and he didn't have a hideous scar or lazy eye, so it just seemed strange to cover one eye all the time. He also noticed how the blonde had transitioned from covering his left eye to his right, which didn't make much difference, in fact Law almost didn't notice. He never asked, because he didn't really care but, lately he found himself wondering that type of useless thing about people.

"You really shouldn't smoke you know." Law stated matter-of-factly, turning back to watch the students leave.

He heard Sanji's footsteps approach behind him before they stopped right next to him. Sanji leaned his back against the railing. "Are you my mom now?" He teased.

Law rolled his eyes in response. "A minor smoking is a illegal, you know." He stated the question, because he wasn't really asking a question, he knew that the blonde was well aware that it was illegal but, he chose to do it anyways for reasons unknown to him.

"Yeah, doesn't really matter though." Sanji let out a breath of smoke, blowing it up into the air. "What are you doing up here anyway?" He asked, turning to look at Law.

Law hummed. "I was thinking I would get a tattoo."

Next to him, he watched as the blonde almost choked on his smoke. After, he aggressively coughed at least five minutes he leaned back against the railing. "I'm okay, thanks for asking."

"You didn't die so I assumed you were." Law laughed sarcastically.

Sanji rolled his eyes. "Were you serious though?"

"About what?"

"Getting a tattoo!" Sanji exclaimed, looking at him with an amused look in his eyes.

"Ah. That." Law paused. "Yeah, I mean why not?"

The blonde shrugged. "I just didn't peg you for the type is all."

Law didn't really understand that. Why do people say that when you say want to do something to alter your body like its some life changing event and you have to be a certain type of person to be able to handle the emotional trauma it gives you? When in reality it just a needle piercing your skin with ink that doesn't wash out if you take a shower. What's the harm in that?

He smirked. "Yeah, I was thinking of getting the word death on my knuckles so nobody messes with me ever again and I will forever be in solitude."

Sanji stayed silent for a moment before he busted out laughing. "You have such twisted humor sometimes."

That was also true; in the past few months Law had learned that he had a really dark, twisted sense of humor in societies view sense he didn't find the same things funny that his classmates did and sometimes even Sanji had to stop for a moment before he realized that Law was joking.

"Maybe I was serious this time." He simply stated, looking at the blondes reaction with amusement. He was being half serious, he thought of that idea last night; that he wouldn't have to tell people to leave him alone, they would just not approach him at all if they saw death tattooed on his knuckles; thinking he was some kind of Satan worshipper well, I guess technically you could say he is.

"Yeah, and I'll stop smoking if you are." Sanji joked, pulling the cigarette between his teeth to suck in more nicotine.

The two conversed for a few more minutes before they decided they should probably get off the roof before a maintenance worker comes to lock the door to the stairway. As they exited the school gate, the pair waved goodbye as they headed in opposite directions.

Walking on the sidewalk, the sound of passing cars and every so often another person walking past him, Law emerged himself into the environment, watching as the sky faded from blue to orangish pink, the sun began to set on the horizon and Law realized that he rather enjoyed seeing the sun go down. Maybe he would come home late every day.

As he walked in the door he was suddenly tackled to the floor. "What the"-

"What took you so long!?" The raven haired demon exclaimed on top of him, inching their faces close together without even knowing it.

Law stared at Luffy and how close he was. When the demon didn't receive a response right away, that's when it dawned on him how close their faces were, he could feel the teen's hot breath mixing with his own. Instantly, he sat up and repeated his question. "Where have you been?"

Law shook his head and stood up walking past the demon throwing his bag on the couch in the process. "I was at school." He simply stated, flopping down onto his bed only to be followed with the demon to flop down next to him, crossing its arms and looking at the teen.

"You don't normally come home late." Luffy pointed out, looking at Law with confused eyes.

Law pulled his arms behind his head, and stared up at the ceiling. "I got caught up watching the sunset with Sanji, I guess."

"Oh." The demon's eyes saddened a bit before he brightened again. "You talk about this guy a lot. When do I get to meet him?"

Law scoffed. "Never."

"Why not?"

Law sat up at the comment with wide eyes. "Why? Because you're a demon, that's why."

Luffy sat up and leaned closer. "I could say I'm your cousin, if you haven't noticed I don't have horns or a tail."

"No."

"But"-

"No"

"Please"-

"No"

Luffy's chest puffed with frustration. "You suck."

"I know." Law rolled his eyes, and laid back down. He stared at the demon for a while; he couldn't believe that in another life he knew this thing? Or it knew him? What did the past him see in this guy anyway?

He watched the demon play around with various things in his room but, he still couldn't find answer. There was nothing about thing guy that was appealing in anyway, maybe it was because he was thinking about it too much? Or that he only thought of Luffy as a demon and not an actual person? Is that it?

Law pushed the knowledge that Luffy was a demon from his brain and fixed his eyes on him again. That's when he finally noticed the pale skin, the soft expression as he looked at things didn't know about, the way he shook his hair every so often even though it wasn't long to begin with and- WAIT.

Was he actually starting to thing was cute?!

No, that can't be right. You can't fall in love with a demon, is what he told himself. And normally he would be right; but this time, he had no idea what he had coming to him.

Law continued watching as they moved from his room to the living room and sat together on the couch. He watched Luffy pull his knees up and rest his head while he did his homework and the demon watched TV. That almost every few moments the demon started laughing or makes a sound as a reaction to the scene, out of the corner of his eye he saw the demon beginning to drift to sleep and seeing his face hold a relaxed and actually kind of nice expression made his heart skip a beat.

He thought back over the few months and his time with Luffy, the two had done some things together, that they started doing regularly. They watched TV, well Law did his homework every night on the weekdays, they went grocery shopping together once every week whenever they ran out of food, and they even started sleeping in bed together and every night Law was the last to fall asleep but, he never noticed how adorable Luffy looked doing any of these things.

He thought of the strangely kind words Luffy had said to him over the past few months and how they lifted his spirits just a little.

As Law thought more and more about his time with Luffy, he began to see why the past him had taken a liking to the small boy and maybe just maybe he was too.

A/N: FRIENDSHIP PROGRESSION IS MY FAVORITE THIGNS TO WRITE OMG. Even though I'm writing a romance story, oh well. Yeah, the chips are going to be placed soon, and the feelings will grow between both Law and Luffy because as of right now, Luffy doesn't like this Law, he likes pirate Law that we all know and love, so youll see how that plays out soon. Sanji will play a somewhat important role and there will be more characters introduced later. Okay, im done talking. x
