I do not own One Piece, only Alex, Izzy and Zita
Chapter 5-A little outing
Law's POV
I was quite surprised that Alex told me about her past and so soon.
We hugged for a while till she calmed down enough.
"Are you ok now?" I asked as I stroked her hair, her ears no longer sticking back to her head, which I guess is a sign that she's no longer upset.
"Thank you, but don't tell anyone, only brother and the girls know what happened back then" she said quietly as she lifted her head to look up at me "and I prefer if people don't know this"
"I wont tell, you can trust me" I said smiling warmly at her.
"Haha, so you can actually smile, not just smirk" she said amused as she sat up beside me.
"Way to ruin the moment Alex" I said smirking at her.
"That's the smirk I know so well, and if you want a moment then you'd have to work harder for it" she said sticking her tongue out and standing up offering a hand.
"Is that a challenge?" I asked smirking as I took her hand and stood up.
"Maybe" she winked at me then walked through the door that leads to the stairs down from the rooftop. I chuckled and went after her.
Alex's POV
After we went back to the Medic club's room and Izzy taking more blood, I took a little nap, until the bell for lunch sounded and Luffy came in shouting.
"Shut the fuck up! I'm trying to sleep here!" I shouted at him as he stepped back in surprise.
"Sorry, why are you sleeping?" he asked as he sat on the bed beside me.
"Cause I'm tired, I had to do a lot of things yesterday, one being; sending Miki to fly off to where Shanks is, it was a bother, why does he want to see him in person anyway, was a nightmare uploading a map in Miki's program" I explained.
"After we eat I want to fight you" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.
"Fine" I said getting up and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
"Yey, lets go eat" Luffy shouted as he grabbed my wrist and ran out of the room dragging me along to the Home Ec.'s room, after lunch he then dragged me into the Kung Fu clubroom, the others following as they wanted to see the fight.
"Ready?" I asked as we took our fighting stance.
"Ready!" he said and we charged at each other. Throwing punches, kicks, blocking and dodging. Our fight was fun we both have our own unique style of fighting. I depend on my acrobatic skills as I jump around a lot doing flips to dodge and use them to put more force into my blows.
We stand a few meters from each other out of breath and staring at each other grinning like mad.
"You got better Luffy, this was fun" I said straitening up and smiling at him.
"You too, your very strong" he said doing the same.
"I wasn't just fooling around for the past few years, we trained a lot, so don't underestimate us" I said indicating to Izzy and Zita as well.
For the last two lessons of the day I was allowed to go back to class as neither Law or Izzy needed my help. But unfortunately I had to stay behind with the two to do more experiments.
"Argh, it's not reacting!" Izzy yelled in annoyance as one more of her experiments failed.
"Hey, it's ok, you'll get it in the end I'm sure" I tried to reassure her, but she sent me death glare and got back to work.
"Hey Law, what are you doing?" I asked looking over his shoulder. School has ended a good hour ago and them two have been working on the reverse serum since, and I am bored.
"Alex we're working on your cure, try to entertain yourself somehow" he said never looking away from the microscope in front of him. I frowned and stuck my tongue out at him, but pulled out my sketch book and pencil and started drawing.
I decided to draw a motorbike in life like tone, and is almost done.
"What are you drawing?" Law asked leaned over to see.
"A motorbike" I answered showing him the drawing.
"Wow" he sat down beside me on the bed taking the sketch book in hand and looking at it in awe.
"Your amazing, it looks so realistic" he said smiling.
"Yey, your smiling again" I said happily, poking his cheek as he smirked "And now you just ruined it"
"What, don't you like my smirk?" he asked amused.
"It's not that, I just want to see more of your different expressions, plus I like seeing you smile" I explained smiling.
"Why thank you, but you'll have to work harder for it" he repeated what I said back at lunch time.
"Is that challenge?" I asked smirking.
"Maybe" he said as he winked at me, like I did to him before.
"Haha, fair enough" I said laughing when I noticed the lack of Izzy in the room "Where'd Izzy go?"
"She went home. Dint you hear her say goodbye?" he asked.
"Um, no. When did she leave?" I asked embarrassed 'she left and I didn't notice, some friend I am' I thought sweat dropping.
"10 minutes ago" he replied as he gave me back my sketch book.
"I guess she got tired or irritated" I said putting the book back into my bag as Law got his.
"Lets go home it's already seven o'clock" he said walking toward the door.
"I zoned out for that long?" I wondered as he chuckled and we left the school grounds.
"We will turn you back, although you look hot with those ears and the tail" Law whispered the last part in my ear as we walked down the street that leads to the apartment complex we live in.
"Your into that kind of shit?" I asked in disbelief as he smirked at me 'there we go with the teasing again'
"Only on you" he said as he winked at me, as I felt my cheeks heating up 'don't tell me I'm blushing at what he said' I thought in disbelief as we entered the building and went up the stairs.
"W-what ever" I said turning my head away from him as he chuckled. We reached the third floor and went to our doors.
"Goodnight Tora-chan" Law whispered in my ear as he pulled on my tail, but before I could hit him he dodged and went into his apartment. (Tora=tiger in Japanese)
"Fuck you Law!" I shouted at his door annoyed.
"I'm sure you'd love to" I herd him say from the other side. 'oh that little…' I thought as my patience was running thin, then my phone rang.
"Hey Shanks, what's up?" I greeted him and went into my own home.
Law's POV
'today sure was fun, Alex is easy to tease, though I have to admit she does look rather sexy with those tiger limbs and the stripes' I thought smirking.
After I gave Loki his dinner I took a shower and started reading a medic book. I lost track of time and ended up finishing the book at midnight. 'I should really stop doing that' I thought and went to bed.
The next day was a Saturday so there was no school, instead I went over to Alex's place.
"What do you want Law, its like ten in the morning, and a weekend" she said sleepily at the door, still in her pj's that consisted of baggy long pants and an oversized t-shirt, and holding her pillow as her ears were drawn down in tiredness. 'cute'
"Exactly, its ten, you should have be up long ago" I said amused.
"Well mister early bird as you can see I'm not a morning person, I like to sleep in whenever I can so go home" she said annoyed as I robbed her precious sleep.
"Nope, I wanna hang out" I smirked at her.
"If I let you in will you let me go back to sleep for another hour?" she asked with a big yawn.
"I might"
"What kind of an answer is that?! Seriously answer me straight damn it" she snapped. "Great, now I'm not even tired anymore" she pouted.
"Then you'll let me in?" I asked chuckling.
She shook her head in disapproval but walked back inside leaving the door open so I walked in and closed it behind me.
"So what are your plans for today?" I asked sitting down on the sofa as she went to the bathroom.
"Actually I was thinking about getting the parts for the motorbike. I need to go to the next town though, I'm guessing your coming with?" she shouted back.
"Yep" I said happily.
"The list is on the kitchen counter, could you make sure that all the papers are together and the address of the shop? I'm going to take a shower, be out in a bit" she said and closed the bathroom door as I herd the shower running.
I went in the kitchen and found three pages of parts listed on notebook paper and the address scribbled onto a little note, I brought them back to the living room with me and sat back down waiting for Alex.
It didn't take long for her to finish, she slipped into her room and got dressed, did her hair and make up and joined me in the living room.
"Ready? We can get some breakfast on the way" she said smiling. She wore black jeans that faded to light grey at the bottom, a graphic white t-shirt that says love in giant letters on it taking up the whole front, dark red zip up hoodie that she folded up to the elbows of, maroon ankle boots and tied her hair up in a high ponytail.
"Looking good" I commented smirking as she grabbed her messenger bag and putting the paper in it along with her wallet and some other stuff.
"I can say the same to you" she smirked. I wore dark grey jeans, a dark blue graphic t-shirt with a black jacket over it, and black ankle boots.
I grabbed some stuff from home and we left for the train.
We got to the next town in ten minutes.
"We should eat first" she said and dragged me off toward a take away.
After we got our food we went to a nearby park to eat it.
"You know this is fun, I was planning to call the girls, Ace or Luffy to help me, but you're more fun" she grinned.
"I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my company" I said smirking as I took a bite of my food.
"If I were to bring the girls with me, they'll just drag me off shopping to the other side of town wasting my time, and if I brought Luffy he'd nag me about being bored or hungry, or both, and don't even get me started about Ace, got that boy is a nightmare." she said as I sweat dropped. 'and here I thought she meant something else, well I can make it into that' I thought smirking.
As we finished eating Alex pulled out the address and typed it into her phone's GPS app.
"Let me take that, we don't want to get lost now do we?" I teased as she frowned but obeyed.
"I'm not that bad, at least I can follow a straight line, not like a certain green hared swordsman" she pouted which to I just chuckled. 'yep definitely cute when pouting' I mentally mused then following the directions we found the shop; 'Galley-La Company' which is actually a giant supermarket looking place with different sections for different things, from car parts all the way to aeroplane parts, you can buy it all, and there are two floors.
Alex seems to know her way around this place and took the lead going to the second floor.
"Yo, Paulie, what's up? Long time no see huh?" Alex greeted a blond man with ski type goggles on his forehead as we walked into the motorbike section.
"Alex! Hey little girl, how's it going?" he asked back.
"Awesome, new school and new trouble" she said grinning.
"I can see that" he laughed as he tugged at her right ear, she let out a warning growl and he immediately let go "Sensitive, eh?"
'don't touch her' I found my self thinking as I glared at the man.
"Who's this?" Paulie asked looking at me "Your boyfriend?"
"No no, just a good friend of mine, his name's Law. Law, Paulie, Paulie, Law" she said introducing us as we shook hands, squeezing it tightly as we glared at each other.
"Hey, he's cool, leave him be, seriously your like an overprotective brother sometimes. Anyway how's Iceburg?" she asked stepping between us.
"Iceburg-san? He's fine still running the company, he misses you a lot, keeps crying about the lack of your presence after he sees a girl with red hair" Paulie said laughing.
"Really? I have to go and see him then, but after this. We cam here cause I need parts for a motorbike, can you help?" Alex asked amused.
"Of course, do you have a list?" he asked as she pulled out her list from her bag and handed it to him.
"I need all those" Alex said smiling.
"Wow, that's a lot of stuff, expensive too" he commented eyeing the list.
"I know, and I have the money. I won a bet with my brother so he had to pay me, a lot" she smirked.
"Shanks? You are one evil little girl you know that?" he asked sweat dropping.
"Hey, I'm not a little girl, quit calling me that" she huffed frowning.
"I bet you haven't even had your first kiss, still as innocent as ever" he said teasingly. 'first kiss huh, I might just help her with that' I thought smirking.
"Shut up, it's none of your business, and when you have Izzy and Zita as best friends, your innocence dies a slow and painful death" she said, 'what interesting way to put it'
"Oh god, they corrupted you" he said in mock panic.
"Lets just get on with the list" she said shaking her head but smiling all the same.
"Kay, I'll have it all picked out in a few hours. Where do you want us to send it to?" he asked going behind the counter as we walked in front of it.
"To the school, Sabaody college, Engineering clubroom" she said as he typed in something on his computer.
"Alright, it should arrive on Monday, that ok?" he asked as he looked back up at her.
"Yep, oh and can I give you a note to put on the delivery?" she asked as he nodded handing her a small note and pen, she scribbled down something and gave it to him.
He laughed as he read it out loud " 'Don't fucking touch this or I'll kill you. Love Alex.' You sure know how to keep people away from your stuff alright" he said chuckling.
"Ok, put that on it and send it, I trust you that everything will be there that is on the list. Now we're going to go see Iceburg, later Paulie, was nice seeing you again" she said as we said our goodbyes and went to find this Iceburg guy's office. After asking around a lot we finally found it.
She casually opened the door and walked in with me behind her.
"Iceburg" she greeted him happily.
As he looked up tears swelled in his eyes as he recognized her, he quickly got up from his desk and ran to her and pulled her into a bear hug.
"Alex, I missed you, my favourite student" he said crying. 'ah, so I guess he's the guy who taught Alex mechanics'
"Aw, its ok old man, I came here for motorbike parts, Paulie is already on it. How are you?" she asked as he let her go and finally stopped crying.
"I'm good, you? How's your new school, oh, I guess you already got into trouble" he said lightly touching her tiger ears, she didn't hiss at him but smiled.
"Yep, in the first hour I got there, but the school is awesome and I met new people, this is Law, Law this is Iceburg, my mechanics teacher" she introduced us.
"Nice to meet you" I said as we shook hands and the same thing happened as with Paulie.
"Don't hurt her" he said warningly.
"He wont, now leave him be. Where's Franky, is he still around here?" she asked changing the subject.
"He should be around somewhere, but never mind that perverted idiot, lets talk" Iceburg said as he pulled her into one of the chairs in front of his desk and motioned me to sit in the other as he sat on the edge of his desk.
We talked for an hour or so about all kinds of stuff, Alex mentioned Miki, and Iceburg mentioned something about her leaving a couple of years ago to go study Kendo and how she betrayed him by that, to which she laughed and said he's over reacting.
We also met Franky, who is quite the character, going around in swim shorts and a Hawaii shirt, then we had a half an hour conversation with him too.
We ended up having lunch with Iceburg and some others Alex knows from the Galley-La Company, and more conversing.
By the time they let us leave it was the late afternoon and we were exhausted and went home.
"Damn, they can sure talk a lot, forgot that about Iceburg, sorry" she said as we walked down the street to our apartment complex.
"Don't worry, I enjoyed it. I got to meet people from your past, and I got to know you a little better" I said smiling as she smiled back sweetly. 'even cuter than her pouting face'
"I'm glad. I had a fun day with you too, thanks" she said as she kissed me on the cheek then ran ahead.
"Hey, you can't do that and run away" I yelled after her and ran. She looked back laughing and I couldn't help but do the same. We got to our apartments and she invited me in for dinner which I happily accepted, and brought Loki over as well.
