Penguin hadn't thought that Law would be agreeable to having sex again so soon, but after what he'd just done, the pale eyed Heart Pirate knew that his captain wasn't exactly opposed to the idea. After all, Law had just teased him relentlessly while giving him a blow job. And right now, from the way that Law was reacting to his fingers again, Penguin supposed that he was being told, in a way, to keep going.
Law shifted on the bed, gave up trying to free his wrists from behind his back, and instead made some low sound in the back of his throat at Penguin.
Or at least, that was what the Heart Pirate presumed, anyway, since no words had been exchanged between them since Penguin had started to toy with Law once more. And when Penguin did notice that Law appeared to want to say something, he made a quick movement with his fingers, and it caused his captain to lose whatever it was that he was going to say in order to thrust back in return. It happened a few times, and by fourth try, Law let out an exasperated hiss but did not try to say anything again.
For now, anyway.
Penguin could see, from where he was leaning over his captain, that Law appeared to be doing some thinking. But so long as he continued to respond to his fingers, Penguin supposed he was fine with whatever it was that Law chose to have go through his mind. When the pale eyed Heart Pirate was satisfied with his use of lubrication, he removed his fingers and silently urged Law to get up onto his knees but had trouble getting his captain to understand that he wanted him to keep his upper body lying on the bed. Penguin reached over and gently held Law by the nape of his neck, while his other arm wrapped around his waist to keep him on his knees.
"What are you doing?" Law demanded, though his voice was muffled by the sheets.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Penguin asked, and he felt rather than saw Law's hands clench and unclench briefly before his limbs went limp against his back. Penguin pressed an absent kiss to Law's lower back. The pale eyed Heart Pirate then readjusted so that he could press up against Law from behind and took the opportunity to slowly grind up against his ass. Penguin could tell that his captain was making an attempt to shove back against him, to get him to stop with the teasing already.
Law couldn't, however, get very far due to the rope that was tied to his ankles and attached to either side at the end of the bed. It also didn't help the dark haired captain any that his crewmate was actively preventing him from getting any slack in the silk rope, and from a frustrated breath of air, Law knew that he wasn't likely to get it unless Penguin allowed it.
Penguin merely gave a brief nudge to one of his captain's thighs as an indication for him to spread his legs further, as best he could. When Law was still again after doing the indicated task, Penguin briefly rested his head against his captain's lower back to speak breathlessly against the skin. "I'm going to fuck you."
"Then fuck me." Law hissed in return, as if fed up with the delay. "You don't have to state your intentions when I know very well what it is that you want. You demonstrated that very clearly a few hours ago."
Penguin gripped Law around the waist to hold him in place, before he lined himself up and began to press in after he'd slicked up but stopped partway in. The Heart Pirate could feel a slight tremor run through Law, so the pale eyed pirate felt compelled to ask a question. Penguin tried and failed to keep a trace of amusement out of his voice. "Are you sure you're ready to do this again? Because if you need more time to rest, I can always wait to-"
"I am perfectly fine. It is just the sea stone in this dratted collar that is causing my exaggerated exhaustion." Law cut in tartly, his hands clenching again as he gave a slight jerk of his hips back against Penguin. Law couldn't bite back the moan that came from the sensation of driving Penguin in deeper, but did the motion again anyway as he spoke archly. "I think that's more than enough teasing for today, Penguin."
Penguin brushed his lips against Law's skin briefly in acknowledgment before he thrust the rest of the way in, until he could go no further.
Law gasped for air at the sudden motion before his upper body sagged against the bed. Law then let out a soft moan over the sensation that he could now better feel.
Penguin's eyes fell on something on the bed, and as he reached over to grab it, he accidentally jostled Law in the process and caused his captain to buck slightly. Swallowing, Penguin leaned over and bit down on Law's nearest shoulder as his hands went around his waist and lower. The pale eyed pirate made quick movements with his hands before his captain could realize what he was up to and hastily secured the cock ring into place. Penguin thumbed the tip with his right hand and it earned him a brief squirm in return as Law was still half distracted by the fact that Penguin was buried in him but wasn't moving. Penguin settled his left arm back around his captain's waist to hang on tight when realization would dawn.
It was a bit of a delayed reaction for Law to realize that Penguin had just put something on him to prevent his release. And when Law did notice what his crewmate had done, the dark haired pirate captain was not happy.
"What are you thinking, Penguin? Are you trying to give me a sore neck as well as a painful erection I can do nothing about now?" Law demanded, sounding a little irate. "And while I may tolerate the collar and some ropes, I believe that the cock ring is a bit much, all things considered."
Penguin, feeling good from where Law was unintentionally moving against his dick, lightly squeezed his left arm around Law's waist and hoisted him up so that both of them were on their knees now. Or rather, Penguin was on his knees, and was making not much of an effort in getting Law's thighs on either of his while he held him in place for the moment. It was done nearly effortlessly and Penguin was feeling rather glad that he had spent so many hours training and strengthening his muscles. Otherwise it might have been difficult to hold someone a few inches taller than him in this manner, however briefly he planned to do so. Penguin brought his other hand from Law's crotch to his jaw so that the pale eyed pirate could tilt his head back slightly.
"I did say I wasn't done with you yet. And if I really had my way, I'd be using more than I am right now so that you would have to take whatever I decided to give you." Penguin hear Law's breath hitch but pretended not to notice. "You also told me to treat you as a person and not my captain when we're doing something like this, so that's exactly what I am doing. And I want to fuck you this way." Penguin's arm tightened around Law's waist as he lifted him up a little bit and let him back down with a thrust that put him back deep into his captain. Law squirmed with a choked gasp, and Penguin held him closer in order to kiss the side of his neck, above the collar.
"You seemed to be quite content teasing me earlier while giving me a blow job. Are you saying I can't play in return?" Penguin turned Law's head to the side by gripping his captain's jaw tightly, and pressed his lips firmly to Law's. Penguin started to thrust shallowly, and the motion soon had Law gasping into the kiss with a soft moan. Penguin licked his way into his captain's mouth when given the opportunity, and held tight to Law's jaw as he kissed him, refusing to give the other man a chance to join in as he dominated the kiss. The pale eyed pirate gave a few more lazy thrusts in order to get Law to ride him and as soon as he heard another moan and felt Law attempt to move back against him, Penguin stilled and held tight to his captain. "Are you done complaining? Or should I go back to teasing you? Because I am sure that I can find something in the room to have some fun with you while you lay there and watch."
Law briefly glared at his crewmate out of the corner of his eye before he closed them with a sigh and went slack in Penguin's grasp with soft sounding moan.
Penguin pecked Law on the cheek, before he let go of his jaw. The pale eyed Heart Pirate carefully settled Law back on the bed; Penguin's other arm left his waist, so that Law's upper body was back on the bed, his ass up in the air. Penguin vaguely noted that he slipped out of Law while putting him back in place, and reached over to lightly slap bare skin.
Law let out a funny sound before he immediately quieted.
Penguin did the motion again and this time Law let out a low groan and pressed back. Penguin groaned himself as he forwent slapping Law's ass and instead slicked himself up again. The pale eyed pirate lined up and began to press back in slowly. Penguin mumbled against Law's back. "I want you to feel me fucking you."
"And I say again that you have already made it clear that's what you want." Law let out a satisfied moan by the time that Penguin was all of the way in. "And if you really want me to feel you fucking me, then start doing it already so that I can."
"I am. I will." Penguin lightly bit down on skin before he straightened up on his knees and gripped Law's hips. With a sharp and sudden thrust, Penguin was rather surprised to find how vocal Law became in this angle. The Heart Pirate held on tight and slammed into Law over and over like he had no self-control left.
Law soon began to choke out sounds of ecstasy as soon as whatever it was that Penguin was hitting with each thrust began to drive him wild. Penguin began to make deep, slow thrusts, until Law finally seemed to break down by nearly outright sobbing, the sensations clearly too much for him now.
"Pen…I need to…need to…" Law let out a string of unintelligible sounds as Penguin drew partway out and slammed back in, making Law arc his back as much as he could with his arms bound behind him. "Need to…Pen…guin…I…" Law lost what it was that he wanted as Penguin became more vigorous in his movements.
Penguin, despite being mostly lost in lusty feelings, growled aloud what he figured out what it was that Law wanted to try and tell him. "Tell me how much you want to come." The pale eyed pirate wasn't as embarrassed about asking such things when he was riding a good high that came with sex. Penguin would have time later on to be self-conscious and appalled with himself. "Did you want to get off earlier on Straw Hat Luffy's ship?"
"Yes." A few more slow grinds up against his ass caused Law let out a turned on groan before he was able to finally speak a full sentence. And Law spoke a little breathlessly, as Penguin had just stopped moving to where he was still buried deep inside of him. "I wanted your hand earlier today, enough that I might have wanted you to fuck me on Straw Hat-ya's ship, regardless of potentially being caught in the act." Law fidgeted a little bit, his fingertips brushing Penguin's chest as his crewmate pressed himself close. "I wanted you to give me a hand job in the kitchen on that hot and muggy day when the ship stalled. You were already kissing me, so I wouldn't have minded at all some more touching elsewhere. We were all sweating at the time, so it wouldn't have been that much more of a mess, but-" Law nearly let out a yelp of surprise as Penguin wrapped his arm around his waist again and pulled him up against his chest as his other hand wrapped around his cock ring trapped dick. Law squirmed as Penguin played with the head and thumbed the tip, and suddenly had trouble finding any other words to gasp out other than his crewmate's name. "Pen…"
"You want my hand." Penguin stated.
"Mph…yes, yes I do." Law said, nearly delirious at this point with how aroused he was, words suddenly becoming meaningless again. "Want it now. Want you to touch me."
"You want me to kiss you too? When you come?" Penguin pressed, as he flicked the head of Law's erection again. "Would you like that or would you be tempted to bite me?"
"I want that, yes." Law murmured, trying and failing to press against the hand that was teasing him. "And I won't bite. So long as you do it."
"How long have you wanted to do this?" Penguin gave a slow, sensuous grind up against his captain before he stilled once more.
Law took a short, shaky breath before he let it out. And when he ventured to speak again, there was a faint note of uncertainty. "I'm not sure whether I should say just now…" Law let out another slow breath as he felt Penguin start to slowly press up against him and then made the same motion again, enough for Law to really feel the motion. "You…ah…might not particularly like the answer." Law let out a faint, almost whine-like sound when Penguin stopped moving altogether, even if his fingers around his captain's erection did not.
"We're not going anywhere, so you might as well speak up. I did answer your questions earlier." Penguin breathed against a tanned shoulder. "Remember that? Or do I not get to ask them, because you hold authority over me?"
"Technically I am not acting as captain right now." Law breathed out.
"Then you'll tell me?" Penguin questioned as he lightly nibbled along the shoulder.
"If that's what you really want." Law said after a brief moment's pause.
"Yes." Penguin was curious when it was that his captain had decided that he wanted to have sex with him. Or if he'd even wanted to have this kind of relationship with someone before Penguin had started making moves on him. Maybe Law was right; perhaps he didn't want to know the answer. But the pale eyed Heart Pirate had to know, however little, Law's feelings on the matter. Penguin would have never gone this far if Law truly had no interest, but as he was getting signals that it was fine, he knew that it was all right. To distract himself from the awkwardness of having this conversation with his dick in his captain, Penguin bit down a little harder on Law's shoulder, before he let up and lay a kiss there. "I do want to hear what you have to say."
"Very well." Law said, rather reluctantly. "But should do not like what you here, at the very least take off the damn cock ring." At a flick to the tip of his erection, Law let loose an exasperated growl before he began to state his piece. "It was on Sabaody, after we got away from the marines, when I began to notice something different in the way I looked at you. It was when we got back to the ship. I saw…you and Shachi demonstrate how you fought off the enemy. I wasn't sure what to think at the time why I gave pause when I watched the two of you. It wasn't like I hadn't seen the two of you spar before. But this time around, you had stripped down to a tank top. Shachi had as well…but for some odd reason, you were the one that held my attention with the way you moved around on deck." Law paused at the sensation of short puffs of breath against his shoulder and resumed speaking in a slightly quicker manner.
"I didn't give it much thought, figuring it was fatigue from what had happened on Sabaody. I didn't notice anything after that, not even when we went to Marineford to assist Straw Hat-ya. It wasn't until we were leaving the island of women that I again noticed the odd feeling. I found myself annoyed over the fact that everyone was fawning over Boa Hancock, and ordinarily I would have dismissed it, but I didn't like how you were getting all…stupid…along with the rest of the crew over how it was disappointing to not get a peek at all of those women." Law winced ever so slightly as Penguin grazed teeth over his shoulder.
"I didn't dwell on it my reactions, however, as I needed to put some plans of mine into motion for the future. It wasn't until I was about to leave for Punk Hazard that I had some time to myself to think things over." Law let out a shaky breath as Penguin resumed lazily grinding up against him. "The fact that you looked more upset than everyone else when I left puzzled me. I was further confused over your reactions when you were the only person who chose to be short with me on the transponder snail, those few times I was able to get into contact with you all without being caught in the act. And when I saw you ignore the on my return to the crew, I had…suspicions…but I dismissed them as impossible because I felt that it would be inappropriate for me to think of a crewmate in a manner other than how a captain should treat his subordinates."
"So what you are saying is that as soon as I kissed you, suddenly you had some of those suspicions confirmed?" Penguin asked quietly.
"In a way, yes. I only left as quickly as I had because I wanted to think things over some more. I wasn't sure what to think of you suddenly kissing me even if you made damn sure to let me know that you'd apparently wanted to give me one for some time. I had not expected you to kiss me, so I was surprised when your tongue was in my mouth. It was a very...thorough kiss. And on that hot, muggy day that you cornered me in the kitchen, I'd already made up my mind." Law said.
"Made up your mind to tease me, perhaps?" Penguin asked dubiously.
"Well, there was that too. But you probably realized that I was not opposed to you touching me then, as I didn't run." Law sounded amused now. "I was more compliant than I would ordinarily be, considering how I normally react to people trying to give me orders."
"You didn't mind me jostling you around so much?" Penguin asked, not moving anymore as he was more interested now in what his captain was saying.
"Obviously not, otherwise I would have said something." Law said bemusedly. "And to answer why I suddenly allowed it instead of leaving the situation like I did before? I had decided to allow myself a chance to have feelings for someone again, when I know better than that. I knew that I shouldn't get so close to someone." The humor in Law's voice was gone by the time he finished speaking.
"Because I'm one of your subordinates?" Penguin asked.
"Partially, but I was also reluctant to have a fondness for anyone again, because I don't want to go through the pain of losing someone that I care for, because it will only hurt me more."
Thoughts of fucking Law from behind vanished in an instant as Penguin drew away slowly. He didn't hear any disappointed sound, and wondered if his captain thought he was leaving him. "You know, it almost seemed like you were going to hug me in return that day, even if we were both sweaty and hot. But you didn't."
"Need I tell you again that I am still rather conflicted over this?" Law questioned after a moment. "I was allowing it to happen, but I didn't want to overly encourage you until I decided how I really felt over the whole matter." The dark haired pirate captain let out a light sigh. "But yes, I did consider it. I might have even gone through with pulling you back, had you not tripped over Bepo in your haste to leave the kitchen."
Quietly, Penguin began to unknot the rope that was around Law's ankles, and turned him over onto his side.
"I never really thought I would allow myself to have a deeper fondness for anyone. Not that went past the comradery I have with my crew." Law halfheartedly tugged at the silk rope that bound his hands and forearms behind his back, before he peeked up at Penguin to see what he was up to. When he apparently couldn't discern Penguin's expression, Law looked away, as if he'd said too much.
"Fondness?" Penguin teased as he started to untie the rope from around his captain's wirsts. "Is that your way of trying to say that you love me?"
"Perhaps." Law said evasively, as he brought his freed arms before him to rub his wrists in order to get circulation going again. That accomplished, the Heart Pirate captain reached over to his lap, intent on removing the cock ring from his straining erection, only to have Penguin stop him.
"I wasn't finished yet. I just wanted to be able to see you." Penguin said simply, before he gave Law a shove to the chest to knock over onto the bed, in an echo of the way he had done when he'd first decided to go through with kissing his captain. "Hold still with your feet on the bed so that your knees are up."
Law briefly flailed before he settled his feet on the bed, and only figured out Penguin's intentions when his right wrist was gripped and tied with silk rope before his ankle was also swiftly knotted with the other end of the rope to keep the two limbs close together. Law grumbled something low in his throat and tried to prevent Penguin doing the same thing to his other ankle and wrist, but failed when he was given a very thorough and wet kiss that seemed to remind him of exactly what it was that his crewmate wanted to do to him. Law fidgeted awkwardly on the bed at the position he was, and it almost appeared as if he wasn't sure what to think of being so exposed. Especially with the way that Penguin was looking down at him in an almost predatory way. "Another kink of yours?" Law managed to ask smoothly, hiding whatever trepidation he may have had at the moment.
"I was worried you might try to kick me." Penguin said casually, before the pale eyed man tilted his head and added. "But I also like that you clearly trust me enough to do this." Penguin acted like the sight of his captain so exposed wasn't embarrassing at all as he found the lubrication and pressed a few fingers to Law's backside and curled them in.
"If I didn't trust you, you wouldn't be doing this to me at all. I certainly wouldn't let you cut me off from my powers or restrain me if I didn't trust that you would not leave me laying helpless somewhere for someone else to find." Law said after he'd gotten his breath back. "And I trust everyone in the crew enough that I can rest more easily at night."
Penguin paused in his actions to shoot Law a quizzical look.
"When I actually get around to falling asleep, I am reassured of the fact that anyone would come waking me up if there was trouble." Law amended.
"Unless you think we can handle the situation on our own." Penguin stated.
"Hm, yes, there are very few things that I think you all can't handle." Law none too discreetly moved his hips to buck against Penguin's unmoving fingers. "An example would be that I don't always trust the lot of you near my coffee pot."
"Ah, that's why you're so irritable today." Penguin said, something dawning on him then. "You didn't have any coffee this morning."
"We were trying to keep a schedule." Law said dryly.
"I'll make some for you later." Penguin offered.
"I am perfectly capable of getting my own coffee." Law said with a rather condescending smirk.
"Not if you can't walk straight." Penguin said in a mock serious way, as he gave another curl of his fingers. "And I intend to make a go at that, so you'll probably ask me to get you some coffee anyway. I was just saving you the time by offering beforehand."
When Law's head dropped back after a few cursory thrusts, Penguin drew his fingers back and slicked himself up. The pale eyed Heart Pirate lightly caressed Law's thighs as he settled over him and began to lightly kiss his captain's tattooed torso as he murmured softly. "I thought that I was being stupid, thinking that I had any chance with you. After all, you have never shown any interest in anyone. At least, you haven't shown interest in anyone in a romantic sense. You certainly are protective of the crew, no matter what excuses you might give."
Penguin took his time pressing back into Law, until he was up to the hilt and gave a very light thrust. Penguin settled his hands firmly on Law's thighs as he gave another thrust, this time drawing out a writhe and a breathless gasp. "I tried very hard not to feel anything for you, but I think after all the teasing and all the mind games of pretending nothing had happened, that I finally came to the conclusion that I… I…" The Heart Pirate trailed off, and focused on driving himself to a hard release. It was only when Law, his voice barely there, pleaded with Penguin to let him come that the Heart Pirate seemed to get a hold of himself. The request made Penguin remember to remove the cock ring that was causing Law to feel uncomfortably aroused.
But the Heart Pirate didn't make any move to touch Law.
"Pen…" Law couldn't even form the words to ask his crewmate what he wanted him to do, but at another thrust he merely made an attempt to move back against Penguin.
The pale eyed heart pirate wouldn't touch Law's erection, no matter how much he wanted to drive his captain up the wall, because he decided that he wanted Law to come just from being fucked.
Law began to strain against the silk rope when he appeared to figure out what Penguin had in mind, and panted something breathlessly as he tried to press up against his crewmate.
Penguin gave in to Law's silent request after a few more thrusts, and hastily reached over to undo the silk rope restraining his captain's limbs. Penguin grunted as Law's lanky limbs immediately wrapped tightly around his body as soon as the other man was free.
Craving his touch.
Penguin's touch.
Wanting to be touched as much as was possible, if the way Law clung to him was any indication.
Penguin pressed his face against the side of Law's neck to kiss him just above the collar around his neck and heard Law let out a faint, turned on moan. Penguin nuzzled his cheek against his captain's until finally claiming his lips. The pale eyed pirate all but drowned himself in the kiss as he drove himself into Law over and over until the dark haired pirate captain finally let loose a thin keen and came. Penguin moaned at the clench around him and with one last thrust came as well. Penguin bit down just beneath the collar on the side of Law's neck. Penguin remained inside of Law as he gave another kiss, this time on the cheek before he sagged against his captain and breathed against one pierced ear what he'd started to say earlier. "Love you."
"I know you do." Law slowly turned his head for a brief peck on the lips and sighed. "You've made that very clear over the past month, even when you weren't trying to get me out of my clothes."
Penguin pulled out carefully as he reached over the bed for something.
Law lay inert as Penguin came back with more liquid and groaned. "I'm too exhausted to do anything else." Law relaxed at the cool sensation and sagged against the bed as Penguin removed his fingers and wrapped an arm around him to cuddle.
"If I made things clear to you, then why won't you say something similar return?" Penguin asked after a moment.
"I didn't want to have to love someone again." Law said quietly.
"Why?" Penguin absently hugged Law to him as he drew a sheet over them both.
"I don't want any more pain in my life. I don't want to lose another person that I love." Law said after a moment of silence of thinking his answer through.
"You've lost someone?" Penguin asked softly.
"Not a lover, if that is what you mean." Law replied as he drew a hand lightly along Penguin's arm. "I lost my family and those in the city that I used to live in because of the Amber Lead Disease. The government decided to have us wiped off the map, even though the disease was not contagious. I was able to escape the city with my life, but I lost the will to survive, wishing only to kill as many people as I could before I died of the Amber Lead." Law wrapped a hand around Penguin's arm tightly. "I lost someone I had come to love; the one who gave his life to save mine. He had stolen the op op fruit from under Doflamingo's nose, as it was the last thing that could potentially be used to rid myself of the amber lead and hid me from view so that I could escape."
"Doflamingo?" Penguin asked, startled. "He-"
"Another time." Law interrupted. "I do not want to dwell on the past." The pirate captain was silent a moment before continuing. "After losing Cora-san…I decided that I didn't want to care about or even love someone so much that it would hurt, even years later. As it still does with Cora-san." Law quieted even further. "I will say that it is because of Cora-san that I landed on a heart theme that you and the rest of the crew so enjoy teasing me over on occasion."
"I didn't know." Penguin said apologetically. He wanted to know who Cora-san was, but decided to not ask. Not right now. "And we wouldn't have if-"
"It was my oversight for not telling you all." Law stretched out slightly before going still again. "I just didn't want to revisit a painful memory." The Heart Pirate captain's voice was barely there.
Penguin couldn't think of anything to say to that, so he merely urged Law to turn over so that he could kiss him and offer a small smile. "It's really too late for me to change my feelings about you, you know that, right?"
"I know." Law said. "That's why I am willing to give it a shot."
"So I guess I won't be hearing you admit that you like me all the time?" Penguin asked with another smile. He knew he was dreaming if he thought Law would spout romantic stuff like that when he was usually smirking at something or another. Penguin felt his captain would be more private about it, and if that was the case, he would be fine with it.
"Not as much as you'd probably like to hear me say so and I certainty won't say anything in front of the rest of the crew. I'm still conflicted over the whole captain and subordinate angle as it is, remember? Imagine what their reactions would be." Law said in reply.
"But Law, you're not acting as captain right now." Penguin pointed out as he hugged the other man close to him in order to peck him on the cheek.
"I know." Faint humor had worked its way into Law's voice again.
"Quit saying that." Penguin said in exasperation.
Law merely smirked and pressed closer before he muttered something against the side of his crewmate's neck that made a blush tinge Penguin's cheeks.
"Satisfied?" Law murmured sleepily as he snuggled closer.
Penguin hugged Law to him, not daring to say anything because Law had just said he loved him back. And as much as he'd wanted to hear confirmation, Penguin found it bizarre, and wondered if that was because he did still think of Law as the captain, no matter how much Law insisted that he not treat him as such, pressed skin to skin as they were.
"Penguin?" Law prompted.
Penguin hadn't realized that his captain had wanted a response, so he merely pressed his face to Law's neck again, nudging the collar with his nose as he responded. "Yes, I am, but you know, if you're not comfortable sayin-"
"It's fine, Penguin." Law said as he sleepily swatted the arm he had a grip on. "Now shut up and let me get some rest."
There was nothing more said as both men drifted off together, their limbs eventually tangling beneath the sheets as they settled into sleep. But what Law and Penguin were completely unaware of was that they had woken up half their crewmates on the ship with their second round of lovemaking.
-x-
Shachi and a scattering of crewmates who had been woken up quite suddenly had realized that there was an awful lot of sound issuing from their captain's cabin. And that it sounded suspiciously like someone having sex. Through process of elimination, those of the crew that were awake were able to figure out just who was in Law's room. And what did a crew do when they realized that their captain was actually having sex with someone? And what happened after a lot of bickering, when it was decided that it was their captain's business of who he chose to take as a partner?
They started a betting pool, courtesy of Shachi, over which of their crewmates had topped.
There was a lot of beli exchanged as the crew argued over the idea that they couldn't possibly imagine someone like Law allowing someone to top him, so the betting was skewed in favor of their captain. Shachi was one of the few who were adamant that Penguin was the dominant one, even if the red head would give no reason why.
More augments were started over Shachi's soon to be insistence over the fact that Penguin was physically stronger than Law and could easily overpower him, while others said in counter to that that Law could just use his powers to his advantage.
Neither Law nor Penguin were aware that they had given themselves away by being overly vocal, but they would soon become aware of it some hours later when Penguin snuck out to make Law some coffee.
-x-
Penguin felt refreshed after a brief shower, and tried very hard not to think about how much he'd had to help Law with a shower because he was having difficulty standing. The Heart Pirate absently brewed the coffee, and hoped that he would be able to get to Law's room before any of their crewmates came venturing in for food. It was a hope that was dashed just as Penguin poured a mug of coffee.
"Did someone have a little too much fun last night?" A voice teased from the door to the kitchen.
Penguin froze, half considering tossing scalding coffee at the speaker in self-defense, before deciding Law might use his powers and hack his dick off for wasting his precious coffee. Filled with dread, the pale eyed pirate turned to find that Shachi had come into the kitchen, wearing a knowing grin.
Damn.
How loud had he and Law been last night?
"Captain wants some coffee, does he?" The red head asked lightly. "You sure he doesn't want something else to drink first?"
Penguin did not comment on the not very subtle indication of Law giving him a blow job, and focused on the former question instead. "I figured I would get the captain some coffee because he is usually not very liable to get out of bed in the morning most days." Penguin knew he was caught when Shachi laughed and slung an arm over his shoulders.
"I knew it." The red head teased. "You totally wore him out, didn't you? I told the others that there was no way he'd top you." Shachi was having too much fun teasing his crewmate. "So were there kinky sex toys or something in that bag that one day when you wouldn't let me see what was in it?"
"Shachi…" Penguin all but groaned. This was not the way he pictured himself waking up.
"So that's a maybe." Shachi tapped his fingers against Penguin's shoulder. "Just so you know, we all decided that it was the captain's business who he wants to sleep with."
Penguin didn't even deign to give a response to that. He merely started drinking the coffee. He was going to need to be awake for dealing with this, and he hoped he could get some caffeine into Law before his captain realized that their whole crew knew exactly what they were up to last night. Penguin shook Shachi's arm off of his shoulder and went to refill the coffee mug. Shachi didn't try to stop him from leaving the kitchen, but Penguin did move more quickly when Shachi called out after him cheerfully.
"I hope the captain will be able to walk tomorrow. We're supposed to rendezvous with Straw Hat Luffy again."
Penguin just went to Law's room and fretted over what to say to his captain to let him know that their relationship was no longer a mystery to the rest of the crew. And it was hard to keep control of himself when he opened the door and saw Law lounging naked on the bed and wearing an unconcerned look.
"Ah, Penguin. Good, I was hoping that was where you had gotten to." Law held out a hand for the mug of coffee, either not noticing or not caring that Penguin's pale eyes were sweeping over his body.
Penguin managed to hand Law the coffee, but couldn't help but get onto the bed and press himself comfortably against his captain, even if he was now clothed.
"Good morning to you as well." Law said after drinking a few sips of coffee. "I would like to let you know that you were a little too enthusiastic, and as a result, I am not sure how well I will be able to walk today."
Penguin heard a knock on the door, and felt that he should let Law know the jig was up before Shachi teased them mercilessly. "Law, I think there's something you need to know."
"Hm, what is that?" Law asked, enjoying his coffee.
Penguin didn't get a chance to say, as there was another, louder knock on the door, and a badly concealed laugh.
"Penguin, would you get me some clothes?" Law asked, seeming to still be unconcerned.
The pale eyed pirate did so, before he noticed something and had a moment to be mortified with himself for forgetting something so important. The guilty look on his face caused Law to realize what it was his crewmate was looking at.
Penguin hadn't taken the collar off of his captain yet, and there was no time to do so as the door to the room opened.
Law looked like he wanted to murder whoever had dared to open the door, and as Shachi set his sights on his crewmate and grinned in amusement, particularly at the collar, Law's voice came out as a low growl. "Penguin?"
"Yes?" Penguin asked lightly.
"Restrain him, if you would." The dark haired captain said as he began to put on his clothes. "It seems I need to make something very clear."
"Of course." Penguin said with a smile, and as he slid away from Law, he sprang out of bed and tackled Sahchi to the ground, slamming the door shut in the process. He pinioned the red head's arms behind his back, and rose to his feet, holding tight to his struggling crewmate. Penguin tried very hard not to laugh with what his captain chose to do to extenuate his words.
Law tickled Shachi mercilessly, as he and everyone else on the crew knew that the red head was extremely ticklish.
Penguin couldn't help but start to laugh at the smirk that crossed Law's lips, and the pale eyed Heart Pirate had to wonder if Shachi was retaining anything while being tickled.
The red head seemed to be laughing too much and struggling to get away to hear anything their captain was saying.

A/N: I can't believe I've almost gotten this all up but I'm determined to finish it because it has my attention (read: obsessing over). So there is one more chapter, and then I was toying with whether or not to add a ch 11 (where it would have a time jump and be LawxPenguin).
