Law still wasn't entirely sure if he was making the right decision to allow the relationship between himself and Penguin to continue, but Law believed that was a thought best left for another time. He was far too amused right now anyway with his crewmate and his reactions to his touch. Law had presumed that Penguin would be forward in this case, as he had been before, as Law was currently returning his…affections, in a way. Perhaps he had stumbled upon something that caused Penguin to lose that drive he'd had, when before he'd been so determined to have Law's attention in one way or another.
Or testing the boundaries as it had seemed at the time.
Maybe Penguin just wasn't sure what to make of Law's inspection of his healed over wounds. The dark haired pirate captain figured that could be because his crewmate had likely been expecting something of a more sexual nature, given the attention Law was currently paying to Penguin's body.
The dark haired captain smirked to himself. His crewmate had certainly gotten his attention after that first kiss. At the time Law had been taken aback with the force that Penguin had used in order to get him on the bed and in the right position for a kiss. And as soon as the kiss was over, Law had been too surprised by Penguin's actions to think to remain behind to see what might happen. After all, it wasn't everyday that he found out that one of his crewmates secretly lusted after him for at least a year's time.
Law turned his mind back to the present, and made sure to be as thorough as he could be as he inspected Penguin's body. He wanted to make sure that all of the areas that his crewmate had been wounded were on the right track for healing. Law was confident in his abilities as a surgeon, so he anticipated no setbacks. But it couldn't hurt to be absolutely certain. And if he felt Penguin up a little as he went, it was because he couldn't help himself. Law wanted to be sure he didn't miss anything, but that didn't mean that he wasn't going to tease his crewmate a little bit. He'd wanted to do that even before they had been in a fight with Kaido's forces.
The dark haired captain immediately dismissed the fight from his mind, not wishing to dwell on the what-if's. He had better things to do, and one of those was right in front of him. And speaking of doing things, he had plans to get his crewmate out of his clothes as soon as he was finished checking up on his crewmate's health. Law absently traced his fingertips along Penguin's arm. The dark haired captain still had some reservations being intimate with one of his crewmates, but Penguin really did seem to care about him. The pale eyed pirate just cared about him in a different way than the rest of the crew, which Law found interesting.
The Heart Pirate captain was amused that Penguin had, over the years, developed a knack for remembering when he wanted coffee. Penguin had also, over the past few months, known when Law wished to be alone, and when he wanted company but didn't have the desire to engage in conversation. Law noticed, before Penguin had been injured, that his pale eyed crewmate had taken to staying in the infirmary with him while he read a book or looked through the supplies or some other mundane tasks that required him to be in that room.
Law's gaze darkened a moment at how much time he had spent there that past month, and how he had had to piece most of his crew back together. Constantly monitoring several crewmates at a time to make sure all of them were healing as they ought to. To make sure that no one died while in his care. Law really had been smart to take his crew's hearts with his powers. Many of them would have died otherwise.
"Law?"
At the sound of Penguin's voice, Law left the other man's arm alone. The Heart Pirate captain didn't think that he could find it in him to relax in the infirmary for some time to come, mainly because Penguin had been confined to a cot in that room for so long. Of the whole crew, Penguin had been the one who had needed the most attention and care to keep him from dying from his wounds.
"Law?" Penguin's voice sounded again, this time with a tinge of worry.
Law shook the troubling thoughts from his mind as he backed away from his crewmate and spoke. "Take that shirt off. I want to check your chest and back." Law was smirking by the time Penguin got his tank off, because it seemed to the dark haired captain that his crewmate was trying to get the article of clothing off as fast as was humanly possible. Law waited for Penguin to lie on his back before he settled alongside Penguin on the bed. The dark haired pirate captain reached over to trace his fingertips along the scars that were there from when Penguin had been wounded back on Zou. Law traced the scars again, still a tad bit displeased over the fact that his crew had gone gallivanting off into unknown territory instead of waiting for further instruction. He'd told them to wait at Zou; not go off adventuring. Law grimaced briefly at the very thought, as it made him think of a certain straw hat wearing individual who went off without thinking more often than was healthy for a person.
Law resumed tracing his fingertips along his crewmates' skin before his fingers drifted over to inspect the new scar tissue on Penguin's torso from the wounds he'd received fighting some zoan users. Law paused briefly at the sound of his crewmate letting out a soft sound at his touch, before he finished tracing the scars and making a hum of approval. "It appears that everything is healing how it ought to." Law lightly slapped his crewmate's shoulder. "Turn over so that I can take a look at your back and see if it is on the same track with regards to healing."
As Penguin turned over, Law inwardly believed that his pale eyed crewmate would be back to normal, health wise, in a month or so, and all Penguin would need to focus on was getting his strength back little by little as long as there were no setbacks. That was why Law wanted to check Penguin's whole body over, just to be sure. The Heart Pirate captain also wanted to make sure that Penguin's arms being cuffed behind his back briefly by the marines earlier had tugged at the scars on his shoulder or not.
Penguin hesitated a moment, as if questioning his captain's intentions for doing this examination, before he turned over onto his stomach. The pale eyed pirate made only a soft sigh at the sensation of Law touching his shoulder lightly; it was as if he were waiting for him to do something more than lightly trace his skin with his fingers.
Law spent a bit more time inspecting his crewmate's back before he was satisfied over the fact that nothing seemed amiss from the brief time Penguin had been in marine hands. And once that had been determined, Law was able to move on to what he wanted to do ever since he started touching his crewmate. As much as Law liked Penguin's forwardness and the all but demands he'd made about becoming more and more intimate, Law felt the need to show Penguin something. That he was willing to let his crewmate have his way with him so long as Penguin would allow Law do the same in return.
Even if Law was still a little confused over how he felt about all this, and how fast it had escalated after that first kiss out of the blue, Law found that he could not deny his attraction. Especially when Penguin had not been deterred in the least bit when Law had pretended that nothing had happened between them for the couple of times his crewmate tried to initiate things. Instead, Law's actions of being ignorant of the situation only seemed to make Penguin try even harder to get Law to know what he wanted from him, and wonder if his captain wanted the same in return. Law hadn't been entirely sure at first, but now…right now, the Heart Pirate captain knew exactly what he wanted.
"You seem to be healing just fine since the last time I checked you over." Law informed his crewmate. "So I'm going to touch you now. Just let me know if I need to slow down, because I don't think I can wait for much longer." Law heard some kind of sound of assent from Penguin, and figured that would have to do as a yes. And with that, Law leaned over and pressed a kiss between Penguin's shoulder blades. At the short gasp, the dark haired captain began to make a slow line of kisses down the spine, mouthing the skin now and again while using his tongue, until he reached the fabric of pants at Penguin's waistline. Law mumbled something crossly over momentarily forgetting his crewmate was partially dressed as he kissed and nipped a line back up Penguin's spine. The action caused the pale eyed pirate to shake in response, as Law was also sure to slowly caress his hands up along Penguin's sides as he mouthed his crewmate's skin.
Penguin let out a thin sound and squirmed beneath the attention his captain was giving him, like he had not expected Law to be going so slowly.
Law settled over Penguin's back and leaned in close to press a kiss to the side of his neck. The Heart Pirate captain's lips brushed the skin near Penguin's right ear as he whispered to his crewmate. "I want you to get out of your pants. I don't want any clothes in the way when I'm touching you." Law gracefully flopped to one side of the bed, and watched with a faint smirk as Penguin did as asked.
Penguin didn't say anything of the fact that he wore no boxers beneath his pants, but when he saw that Law was inching back toward him, he fixed his captain with a quizzical look.
Law saw the pale eyes focus on him as Penguin settled on his back on the bed, naked, and was rather amused that his crewmate didn't seem to be embarrassed about it. It took the dark haired pirate captain a moment, but he soon realized why Penguin was giving him such a look. Law noticed then and there that he was still fully clothed, and that was likely why he was getting such a confused look from Penguin.
The Heart Pirate captain decided that he would have to change that. He couldn't do what he had in mind if he himself still had clothes on, after all. Law sat up and slid off of the bed to make a slow show of taking his clothes off. And as each piece of clothing was carelessly tossed to the side, Law saw a few times that Penguin really, really wanted to get off the bed and touch him. Penguin could have even had the mind to help Law remove his clothes, but the pale eyed Heart Pirate restrained himself as if remembered that Law wanted to do things his way. No matter how frustrating it might have been to Penguin to wait when he was presented with the sight of his captain stripping, and smirking while he did it.
Law finished ridding himself of his clothes and wasted no time in getting back onto his bed to loom over Penguin. That got his crewmate's attention fast now that they were skin to skin. Law leaned over to brush his lips against Penguin's in a brief kiss before he drew back and stared down at Penguin to look him in the eye. Law was rather fascinated by his crewmate's pale eyes, what with the way the pale blue of the iris was barely noticeable when the pupil commanded ones attention the most.
"What is it, Law?" Penguin ventured aloud after he'd broken eye contact with his captain, as Law had been staring at him silently for a few minutes.
"I was looking at your eyes." Law said simply as he reached out with a finger to lightly poke Penguin's cheek. "So let me keep looking. I wasn't finished."
"They're just eyes." Penguin mumbled as a faint tinge of a blush crossed his cheeks. "Yours are better to look at anyway…"
"If you think my eyes are a nice sight…" Law's lips quirked at Penguin fidgeting, likely remembering when he'd commented on Law being hatless. "…then you should look at me again." Law couldn't help but smile a little less mockingly at the sight of Penguin squeezing his eyes shut, perhaps out of embarrassment. The dark haired captain resumed exploring his crewmate's body in a more intimate way at that, figuring he could get a look at the other's eyes another time.
Law slid down his crewmate's body in order to begin to mouth Penguin's collarbone before he moved on to the other side, and bit down now and again as he grazed teeth and ran his mouth along skin, intent on making a mark of sorts. Law, satisfied with drawing out a low groan from Penguin, made his way down to his crewmate's chest. Law eyed the skin for a moment, pondering whether or not to go after the nipples, as he knew that Penguin had mentioned feeling nothing from being touched there. But Law wanted to anyway, and nipped at one of the nubs determinedly, figuring that his crewmate would make some kind of response. Law continued to worry at the skin, even as Penguin let out an exasperated sound.
"I told you I'm not very sensitive there." Penguin spoke aloud after a minute had passed. When Law would not leave the nipple alone, Penguin spoke up again in an almost bored way. "I'm serious. I don't feel anything there. Nothing."
Law merely continued with what he was doing, determined to see if he could get a response anyway. The pirate captain finally did get something after he had toyed around with the nub with tongue and fingers for several minutes. What Law got was a low gasp to emit from Penguin at the attention, along with a slight moan. Law stopped what he was doing and smirked at Penguin. "I thought you said you weren't affected by that?"
"If you keep at it like you were I'm going to feel something." Penguin managed to say after a moment. "It just isn't a very pleasurable sensation to me."
"Then I'll be certain to make you feel something that is pleasurable." Law promised before he nipped his way down to Penguin's stomach and flicked his tongue into his crewmate's navel, and got a choked sound of laugher from his crewmate. Law did it again, as he liked that sound, and got Penguin's hands clenched into his hair soon after. Law took the hint and as soon as he shook his hair free from Penguin's grasp, he nosed his way down a leg, caressing the insides of Penguin's thighs lightly with his hands.
"L…Law…"
Law hummed something in return before he gave a slow lick to the tip of Penguin's dick, and that got the pale eyed pirate clenching the sheets beneath him as his breath quickened. Law took his time lavishing attention to the head, before he took in a bit more, one hand wrapped around the base to join in making movements, while his right hand fumbled for something on the bed. Law normally might have wanted to take his time doing a blow job, but he wanted to move things along because he wanted Penguin, and he wanted him now.
So, the dark haired pirate captain felt that he would multitask. He was sure Penguin wouldn't mind. As Law took Penguin's length in further, he also slicked his fingers up with the lubrication he'd dropped onto the bed, and without saying anything teased his forefinger in.
Penguin's breath hitched at the sensation, clearly not expecting it so soon, before he let out an exasperated groan after some time had passed.
"Why are you only using one?" The pale eyed Heart Pirate asked after a few minutes had passed.
Law drew away from Penguin's none too subtle erection, but he said nothing other than to remove the finger and then slip two back in with more of the liquid. "Is that better?" Law asked, smiling faintly because he knew it was when Penguin's only response was to let out the faintest sigh of agreement. Law went back to teasing the tip of Penguin's dick with his tongue, and only took the head in his mouth to trace it with his tongue, as he moved his fingers. A thought occurred to him then, and Law removed his fingers and drew away as he inclined back and stared at Penguin. "Sit on my waist."
That drew an interesting stutter from Penguin, and the pale eyed Heart Pirate couldn't look Law in the eyes as he sat up to do as asked.
Law waited until Penguin was about to settle over his waist before speaking again. "Turn around and face the other way." The Heart Pirate captain smirked at the sight of the obvious blush crossing Penguin's face, even if he did as asked. As soon as Penguin was settled, Law went straight back to teasing Penguin with his fingers. The motion from two of the digits caused the pale eyed pirate to lean over to grip Law's thighs in order to remain upright for the most part. When Law removed his fingers and tugged Penguin back to settle over his shaft, the Heart Pirate crewmate squirmed in surprise as Law teased but didn't press in.
"Do you think I should use my fingers some more?" Law absently slipped two fingers back in with more of the lubrication before Penguin could give a response. The dark haired captain answered his own question. "I think I ought to take a little longer. I don't want to hurt you."
Penguin seemed to moan something in return, but it could have easily been because Law had spoken in a mock serious way. In any case, Penguin ended up sagging over Law's legs further, his knees braced on either side of Law's waist as his captain absently fingered him. Penguin let out a sharp breath in response to a movement Law just made. Or perhaps it was because his captain had wrapped a hand around his shaft again.
The dark haired captain paused before he made the motion again, to see if it was what had caused Penguin to react. And when Penguin shuddered again and gripped his legs more tightly, Law added a third finger as he mused aloud. "Are you all right?" The dark haired captain heard what sounded like a mumbled 'yes', and knew that the lack of a longer response was likely because Penguin was too turned on. That his crewmate couldn't help but focus on what Law was doing to him in that moment.
Law focused more on the hand job that he was giving Penguin, before he removed his fingers a few minutes later as he silently urged Penguin off of his waist and onto the bed. Law watched Penguin sag on his side with a long sigh, but knew that his crewmate was looking at him from out of the corner of his eye. Law slicked himself up without taking his eyes off the pale ones of his crewmate as he questioned him. "How do you want to do this?"
"What?" Penguin sounded nonplussed, as if he had not expected to be given a choice in the matter. The pale eyed pirate looked down at the bed. "I don't really have a preference as I haven't been on the receiving end of this before."
Law moved closer so that he could rest comfortably up against Penguin's back to draw him nearer. Law reached over to trail a hand lightly along Penguin's thigh, before he wrapped a hand around his dick again and started to stroke it slowly. "Can I make a suggestion then?"
Penguin gave a nod, as if he didn't trust himself to speak in that moment, though he did issue out a harsh breath when Law's touch caused him to shudder and come sooner than he likely had anticipated. "You and your hands are going to kill me." Penguin muttered into the sheets, trying to get his breath back after the unexpected orgasm. "That wasn't fair, changing from using your mouth to your hand on me."
"It seems that my hands can be used in more than one way." Law moved his hand from Penguin's shaft so that he could drape his arm over his crewmate's waist.
"Yes, but please don't tease me so much." Penguin replied with a sigh. "I thought you were going to fuck me on your lap."
"I considered it, but there was something else that I thought about that I was going to suggest." Law pressed his lips to Penguin's throat before he whispered in his crewmate's ear. "I wanted to suggest that first, I would fuck you over the desk in this room, and then I would do so again on the bed. We'll rest after that, and then, after we take a shower, I want to have you give me a blowjob. And if you're up to it, we can have sex in the shower as well."
Silence greeted Law's words, and the Heart Pirate captain thought he sensed Penguin tense against him for a brief moment before his crewmate rested a hand lightly over his own. Law took the hint and moved his arm away from Penguin's waist to allow him the freedom to move. Law turned over onto his side in order to watch Penguin get out of bed, and approach the waist height desk that was in the bedroom. Law felt that he had done well in getting a shorter desk for purposes the rest of his crewmates would not have thought about when he had one of them procure it for him. Law smiled at the sight of Penguin haphazardly gathering stuff from the desk, and unceremoniously dropping it on the nearby bookshelf.
Penguin seemed to hesitate after that as he stood next to the desk, before he glanced over his shoulder. A pale gaze briefly met Law's, before Penguin hastily looked away and asked a question, his voice tinged with embarrassment. "Where on the desk were you thinking?"
Law got out of bed as silently as he could so that he could press up against Penguin from behind. The dark haired captain lightly traced Penguin's arms as he leaned up against him in order to whisper. "I believe that I would like to take you from behind right now." Law gave Penguin no time to respond as he urged his crewmate up and partially onto the desk, reaching out with a hand in order to pin one arm behind Penguin's back. One of Penguin's legs dangled from the side of the desk as the other leg made an attempt to brace the pale eyed pirate on the ground.
With the way that Law moved him to one side, Penguin didn't have much grip on anything but the edge of the desk with his free hand. Law pressed up against Penguin from behind lightly, and made a pleased sound in the back of his throat as he answered the unasked question. "I said there was a reason I wanted a slightly shorter desk when I asked for one to be looked for. It makes things like this so much easier. I won't have to worry about getting the right angle as much if it is waist height."
Penguin makes a low, startled sound, before a low moan was dragged from him as Law wasted no time in pressing in partway, and then thrusting the rest of the way. And then again, which caused Penguin to make an attempt to get a better grip on the edge of the desk. But another thrust caused him to settle on the desk further.
Law thrust in and out several times, his hand tightening on his crewmate's arm, his voice rough as he spoke. "I bet you would have liked to fuck me over the desk, wouldn't you? When you gave me that hand job that one afternoon? Did it cross your mind to keep going then?"
Penguin let out a brief huff that contained the word 'yes' after Law had thrust a few more times, before Penguin was lost to the sensations and couldn't focus on anything but what was happening. At least, Law thought Penguin was sufficiently distracted, until his crewmate spoke, sounding a little pained.
"Law…can we please go to the bed? I do not want splinters and I feel that might happen any time now if you keep pressing down on me so hard."
"Hmn, I'm certainly pressing hard into you somewhere, aren't I?" Law felt Penguin squirm a little at that comment, as he remained buried inside from the last thrust. The Heart Pirate captain reached around below the desk to trail a hand lightly along Penguin's dick before he gave it a few light caresses as he thumbed the tip. At Penguin trying to thrust his hips into his hand, Law spoke aloud. "I think we should go back to the bed. I may have been more…eager than I had originally thought I would be." Law pulled out and helped Penguin off the desk, before he led his crewmate over to the bed. Law made no effort to be gentle as he turned Penguin around to face him before suddenly giving him a hefty shove in the chest to send him flailing backward onto the bed.
Penguin hit the bed with a grunt, before he splayed out on his back. The pale eyed pirate promptly dropped his gaze from his captain like he was too embarrassed to look Law in the eyes now that the tables were turned and he wasn't being the forward one.
Law slicked himself back up with the lubrication, pleased he'd left it within easy reaching distance. Law got back onto the bed and as soon as he was settled over Penguin, he wasted no time in sliding right back in with a thrust. The Heart Pirate captain went slow and deep this time around, in a rhythmic way as he held on to Penguin's thighs. As soon as his crewmate seemed to be taking him more easily than before, Law began to pound in harder and faster, and the dark haired captain was pleased to notice that Penguin seemed to like that even more. Law knew this because Penguin's arms were quick to wrap tightly around his upper shoulders, the pale eyed pirate's nails lightly scrapping against Law's shoulder blades. When Penguin clung to him even closer, his breath was hard against the side of Law's neck.
The dark haired pirate captain was forced to let go of Penguin's thighs to allow his crewmate to cling to him further, and had to rest his hands on the bed instead as he thrust. Penguin locked his legs behind Law's waist and issued a breathless moan. Law felt that he was getting close, and after a few short thrusts, he thrust deep and finished, which caused Penguin to let out a cry which Law hastily snuffed out with a kiss. Law pulled out soon after, and as he glanced down, he realized that Penguin was half hard.
He'd have thought that being taken in two different places would have been enough for his crewmate to get off as well, but perhaps getting off beforehand had lent to it not happening again. There was only so much the human body could do at once, and coming twice in a short amount of time usually was not something that could be brought about so soon. But there was no harm in asking anyway. "Want me to deal with that?"
Penguin lay inert on the bed for a moment before he shook his head. "S'fine. Don't touch it if you want to do something in the shower later."
Law lounged on the bed next to Penguin closely, thinking it over, before he contented himself with closing his eyes and nodding. "Later then. Get some rest, Penguin."
"Aye, captain. If you'll let me sleep." Penguin said with a light taunt in his tone.
Law lightly slapped a shoulder. "Don't call me captain while we're both naked in my bed!"
Penguin rolled over and caught the dark haired captain off guard with a kiss and the pale eyed pirate breathed against the other's lips. "Let me get some sleep, Law?"
Law snorted something into the kiss as he returned it before he decided that he could indulge in exploring Penguin's mouth for a little while longer before getting some rest.
-x-
Law was amused at how embarrassed Penguin knew that his captain had to have know how embarrassing it was to be doing this right now, stealing down the hall of the ship some twelve hours later. Penguin wrote it off over the fact that it was likely because the both of them were completely naked and carrying towels with them on their way to the shower on the submarine.
"Someone might see us." Penguin whispered, limping along beside his captain.
"They won't if they don't hear us." The dark haired captain smirked at his crewmate. "Besides, you know as well as I do that only the lookout should be awake this early in the morning."
"I guess this is what happens when you have sex in the early evening." Penguin managed to tease back, losing some of his embarrassment. Law seemed to be too comfortable over doing this. Penguin couldn't help but wonder if Law's mood would change if they happened upon one of their crewmates.
"I suppose. Was it all right?" Law smirked again as Penguin stammered some response, before the dark haired captain reached out and opened the door to the shower. "Come on, no one is in here."
Penguin followed his captain into the room, and jumped when the door shut. The pale eyed Heart Pirate had no time to react, as he suddenly had Law against him and grinding up against a leg. If that wasn't enough, Law had also leaned in close enough to give him a thorough and very delicious kiss.
Law appeared to enjoy his crewmate's surprise as he drew back, and licked his lips deviously as he tugged Penguin in the direction of the shower. "Come on."
The pale eyed pirate wanted to tell Law that it wasn't fair for him to look so good disheveled as he was, but when the water turned on, Penguin couldn't help but follow Law into the water. He could tell that his captain wasn't precisely happy with the water cascading down on him, but it was better than being soaked in water in a bath, so there were no complaints that were made. Penguin felt that he should have asked how he and Law were going to do the whole shower sex thing, but decided to be proactive with what Law had suggested before. As soon as they were clean, Penguin immediately dropped to his knees to give his captain a blow job. He believed that he might have gotten the upper hand again, as Law jerked against him at the sensation of his mouth around him.
Penguin really hadn't expected for his captain to surprise him again.
-x-
When Law felt Penguin's mouth close over the tip of his dick, the Heart Pirate captain merely reached over for the bottle of lubrication he had conveniently brought along. Law got a few fingers slick, and when Penguin had gone down on him a bit more, he slipped a finger in.
Penguin made some surprised grunt around his captain's shaft, but Law smoothly cut in before there was any confusion or his crewmate stopped what he was doing.
"Keep going. I want to touch you while you suck me off." Law said as he curled another finger in with the first.
Penguin appeared to suck harder with every finger Law slipped in, until the pale eyed pirate was moaning around what was in his mouth as he reached down with his free hand to get himself off.
Law batted his hand away gently, which caused a grumble, but Penguin continued with what he was doing, while Law used the hand not fingering his crewmate to ruffle Penguin's short hair. Law managed to prevent himself from finishing by tapping on Penguin's shoulder and saying "stop" in a breathless tone. It was the last thing he wanted Penguin to do, but he had meant it when he said he was up for another round in the shower. Law reached over to turn the water off before he sneakily produced a piece of cloth. The Heart Pirate captain forced Penguin to turn around so that he could tie his crewmate's wrists to the facet, forcing him to remain on his knees.
"What are you doing?" Penguin demanded, tugging at the sudden restraint and sounding suddenly irked that neither he nor Law had gotten off yet. Penguin let out an even louder groan of frustration at the sensation of the accursed cock ring being slipped on him, but whatever protest he may have made died as Law spoke.
"You might get off on restraining me in some way, with handcuffs and that sea stone collar, but I like more the idea of denying you something until you tell me how much you want it." Law leaned over to rest his chin on Penguin' shoulder as he added, in a whisper. "I want to hear you beg for it." Law lightly slapped his crewmate's ass as a thought occurred to him. "By the way, did you ever think about me being the one to fuck you before?"
"It hadn't occurred to me until you brought it up that one day." Penguin's voice was perplexed as he responded to his captain. "But I…I liked the idea. I dwelled on it after you mentioned it to me."
"Why?" Law asked, as he loomed behind Penguin and lightly traced his hands along his crewmate's back, before absently groping his ass and then teasing him with a finger.
"Hands." Penguin gasped out, after another cursory touch his captain gave his skin.
"Hands?" Law echoed, amused, as he trailed two of his fingertips along, causing Penguin to shudder ever so slightly.
"I thought that…you would have skilled hands, being a surgeon and all." Penguin managed to say. "The way your hands move when you use your Devil Fruit can be mesmerizing at times."
Law heard Penguin breathing more heavily with the way he teased his intentions to finger his crewmate again.
Penguin breathed out a harsh breath when his captain used one hand to feel his cock and balls up, which in turn caused the pale eyed pirate to groan at the way Law's fingers moved along.
"You like my hands?" Law was entertained by this discovery. He always thought Penguin was a little too turned on by just touching him, but supposed that would be part of the reason why. "Is that why you were watching me so closely when I was dealing with those marines before?" Law saw a nod from his crewmate as he brought his clean left hand to Penguin's lips, brushing the fingertips along lightly.
Penguin parted his lips and took two of the digits into his mouth to suck on them, and squirmed when Law used his right hand to resume tracing skin, until he slicked them up again with the lubrication and pressed two in. Penguin groaned around Law's fingers in his mouth and sucked at them harder.
"You like my fingers here?" Law asked, not clarifying which of his hands he meant.
Penguin made a sound of agreement, and it didn't seem to matter to the pale eyed pirate whether there had been a distinction made or not.
Law added a third finger and took his time before he was satisfied and drew them back. He also drew his fingers away from Penguin's mouth as he lined himself up from where Penguin was kneeling on the floor of the shower. Law urged Penguin to move back slightly as he lined himself up, before teasingly brushing up against his crewmate. "Do you want me to fuck you now?"
Penguin nodded his head against his bound wrists wordlessly.
Law leaned over and placed a kiss against the side of Penguin's neck. "Then beg for it."
"Want you." Penguin managed to say, not sounding embarrassed in the least bit that his captain was insisting on him asking for it.
Law ran a hand along his own dick before holding it up to Penguin and pressing up against him lightly. "You want this, don't you?"
"Yes." Penguin agreed, as he made an attempt to press backward. "Want you now."
Law held still and waited.
Penguin let out a frustrated breath and pressed his forehead to his bound wrists. "Please, Law, don't tease me anymore." Penguin let out a shaky breath. "If you do, I'll be sure to hold out on you the next time I get to have my way with you."
"Oh, threats already? I doubt you'll remember to do so if you enjoy this." Law continued to hold still but wrapped one of his arms around Penguin's waist to better press up against him. The dark haired captain moved his dick with his other hand up and down slowly against skin to allow Penguin to feel just how hard he was.
Penguin damn near whimpered at the sensation, presumably from feeling what his captain intended him to and a faint note of pleading entered his voice as if he thought Law would continue with the teasing. "Please, Law. I want you..."
Law waited patiently, but he did press in a little this time, before drawing back once more.
Penguin let out a hiss of exasperation. "I want to feel to you inside of me." The pale eyed pirate gripped the cloth around his wrists. "I want to feel you fucking me hard. Want to feel you when you move against me."
Law supposed that he should have known better than to think that Penguin would actually stoop to full on begging, so he took what he got and pressed in. It was only when Law was sheathed all the way in that he felt Penguin shudder as he let out a light sigh of pleasure. Law held his arm tightly around his crewmate's waist as his other hand went to a hip before he started to thrust in and out hard, as asked. Law wondered how long it would take for Penguin to remember the cock ring. The dark haired captain found that it took longer than he had anticipated, and unfortunately, Law knew he himself would not last long after Penguin had given him that partial blow job.
Penguin found his voice a few thrusts later, and as Law pressed in deep, a desperate whine escaped the pale eyed pirate as he broke down and damn near pleaded. "Please, Law…please, let me come…it's too much…I…I can't…"
Law silenced Penguin by having the hand on his crewmate's hip join his other hand around Penguin's waist to remove the ring, but he held on to Penguin's shaft, causing a confused whimper to rise from his crewmate. "I'll get you off. I just want us to go at the same time."
Penguin nearly sobbed in relief when Law started to stroke him, and ended up letting out a loud moan as he came, and Law went soon after, causing Penguin to arch against his captain. Penguin was breathing erratically by the time Law undid the cloth around his wrists. Penguin didn't even argue when Law urged him backward to straddle his lap as his captain rested his back against the nearest wall. Penguin sagged against Law's chest in exhaustion, not seeming to care at the moment that they would need to clean up again.
Law knew that both of them were worn out, but the dark haired captain would have hoped one of them would have been alert enough to realize that someone was opening the door. And when they did become aware of it, it was too late to warn the person opening the door to spare them the sight they were about to walk in to.
Shachi entered the room, towel around his waist as he hummed something to himself cheerfully. The red headed Heart Pirate fell silent and stopped dead in his tracks as soon as he realized he was not alone and his eyes fell on Law and Penguin. Shachi turned beet red, and stammered as he abruptly turned away. The redhead groaned something before he spoke, and it sounded almost like he was in pain for seeing both his captain and his friend naked in the same place. "Please tell me that if you choose to have sex in here you at least clean up when you're done? I'd hate to think of all the mystery fluid that could be around otherwise." Shachi was still red in the face as he wrinkled his nose. "You did it just now, didn't you? Jeez, how many times a day do the two of you fuck?"
"Shachi?" Law asked lightly.
"Yes, captain?" Shachi stammered, not daring to look at either of his crewmates.
Law wrapped his arms around Penguin's back in order to hold him in place as he addressed their crewmate. "Would you like to be the one to clean this room up or would you like to keep your mouth shut and come back in a half hour, so that we can clean up in here?"
"I'll wait." Shachi said in a small voice as he hastily retreated from the room.
Penguin leaned back so that he could look Law in the eyes. "A half hour is a bit long for cleaning." The pale eyed Heart Pirate's next words were cut off as Law inclined up to give him a kiss.
And then another, thorough one before he breathed against Penguin's lips. "I wanted to do some of that." Law didn't elaborate as he decided he would just show Penguin that he wanted to take time to explore his crewmate's mouth.
Penguin wrapped his arms around Law's neck in order to return the kiss, and soon the shower was filled with small moans and a lot of sloppy kissing.
The half hour time slot was thrown out the window, and when Shachi returned, Penguin and Law were still lost in a kiss, all but eating one another's tongues at this point.
"Augh, really? What the hell you guys?" Shachi made some grossed out sound as he turned away again, clearly not used to the display of affection between his crewmates. "Can't you do that in one of your rooms? I mean, I get a peck on the lips or whatever but what the hell are you are you doing now?"
"I guess I lost track of the time." Law said simply, reaching down and giving Penguin's bare ass a light squeeze.
Penguin let out a yelp before he attacked Law's collarbone with his mouth in retaliation.
"Fifteen minutes and we'll leave." Law stated as he firmly felt up Penguin's backside.
"Ok." Shachi said faintly, before he once again retreated.
"I feel kind of bad for him." Penguin admitted after a moment.
"He didn't knock." Law reluctantly allowed his crewmate to get up of his lap, thought he did reach out to lightly brush a hand along Penguin's shoulder. That set of some lighter touching and caressing, so it took both pirates longer getting clean, because the touching soon turned into kissing again.
Even though the fifteen minutes went by and even beyond a half hour, Shachi didn't return, as if the red head were waiting for his crewmates outside the room, so that he did not catch sight of his crewmates naked again.
Penguin tried and failed not to laugh when Law walked out of the room, completely naked. Only when Shachi had retreated into the shower did the nonchalant look on the Heart Pirate captain's face change into an amused smirk.

Penguin withstood some light teasing from his crewmates early one morning during breakfast a month after he and Law had made out and had sex in the shower. The pale eyed pirate made some excuse to leave the mess hall, and wandered down along the hall. Penguin had a moment, as he walked along, to think that it was nice to not be limping any longer but for every once in a while. It meant that he was getting stronger, and Penguin was looking forward to a complete recovery so that he could get back into the swing of things on the ship. He wanted to not hold anyone back, and as soon as he was confident in his ability to do so, he would begin to train again.
And perhaps tussle with Shachi, as after he'd walked in on Penguin and Law in the shower, the red head had taken to letting little comments slip about it in some way or another.
Penguin emerged onto the deck and stood still for a moment to enjoy the light, cool breeze. The pale eyed Heart Pirate turned his head and caught sight of Law alone and leaning up against a railing. Penguin wasn't sure of his captain's mood yet this morning, but at the sight of a cup of coffee resting on the railing, he figured it was a decent mood.
"You're up early." Law commented as soon as Penguin got close enough.
"So are you, as usual." Penguin replied as he came to a halt next to his captain's side. "I was not in the mood to be teased this morning."
"I could tell them to stop, if you'd like." Law said in return, as he picked up the coffee to sip it.
"It's fine. I don't mind it every now and then. At least no one is opposed to us…being together in that manner." Penguin said as he leaned against the railing and peeked out of the corner of his eye at Law.
The dark haired pirate captain took another sip of coffee as he stared off at the still darkened horizon, before he set the mug aside. "I think that we will soon be hearing about Kaido's movements. I looked at the paper this morning, and something most certainly appears to be going on in the background that no one else is aware of."
"I'm not surprised, after that fight we had with some of his forces." Penguin noticed that Law's left hand was resting on the railing, and after hesitating a brief moment, moved over to lean up against Law's side so that he could take his captain's hand in his own. "I still have to wonder about X Drake's motivations. What do you think he's up to?"
"It's hard to say." Law commented, his eyes still gazing out to the sea. "I assume we will learn more as things begin to fall into place. We'll have to be ready for anything when that time comes. Motivation may not matter so much then."
Penguin felt Law give his hand a squeeze as a companionable silence fell over the two of them. The pale eyed pirate kept a hold of his captain's hand, and almost let go in surprise when he felt Law lean his head against his shoulder with a sigh.
"How long will you stay with me?"
Penguin wasn't sure if the quiet query meant how long he would stay outside with Law right now, or if he meant being in a relationship, so the pale eyed pirate answered in a similarly vague way. "I'll stay with you for as long as you want me to…because I really do care about you…" Penguin's voice dropped to a whisper. "Because I love you." Penguin was certain Law said something similar to him in return, but what was audible was again vague.
"Don't leave any time soon." Law's grasp tightened around Penguin's hand. "Don't even think of doing so."
"Don't worry, I won't be going anywhere." Penguin smiled as he gripped Law's hand tightly in return as he leaned his head to the side as well to bump it against Law's.
Law's whole body seemed to relax, and if there was one silver lining for the uncertain future, it was that Penguin would make good on his promise of staying where he was. Penguin couldn't imagine himself anywhere else in the world but with Law and the rest of the Heart Pirates, and did not feel that that would ever change, no matter what might happen. It was good enough for Law to be told he wouldn't leave, so it was good enough for Penguin as well.
After some time had passed, Law pulled away enough in order to discreetly peck Penguin on the cheek. With a faint smirk, the Heart Pirate captain led his crewmate along the deck to go get a refill on the coffee. As they walked, Penguin noticed that their hands were still linked together.
As the two of them made their way to the kitchen, Penguin couldn't help but feel glad that he had worked up the nerve to let his captain know how he felt, and had dared to give Law that kiss all of those months ago.

A/N: I finished another fic! I wanted to make sure that I got the final chapter up as soon as was possible, because my motivation to write has begun to flag a bit. Mostly due to a poorly timed laptop update while I was working on this chapter, which made me be stubborn about the fact I'd have to redo a chunk of it and it wasn't the same as before. Being a little down as of late too doesn't help much to put me in the mood to write either. I took a break from the computer after posting a chapter for another fic, and I guess it was the right decision, because I was able to finish this chapter once I went through it a few days later. It was more fun to work on it as well after leaving it alone for awhile, so I probably shouldn't try to marathon fics in a short amount of time like I did with this one.
That being said, I believe that it turned out all right, as it is a fic that I plan on coming back to if I get the urge to read something with this pairing in it (which is the main reason for me posting this fic in the first place, and I'm glad there are other people who like the random, rare pairings on occasion as well).
I may go back and edit it and a few of the past chapters at some point (maybe tweak the ending of the fic), but probably not for awhile. And I do still plan on posting this fic on A03, but I am uncertain when I will do that (and btw, whenever the Heart Pirates show up in the manga, I may be tempted to write another fic with this pairing in it at some point in the future).
