It was almost end of April. Luffy was in Law's apartment again, cleaning. He had gotten used to the cleaning routine so his working speed got a lot faster. It had been almost a month since he started working and he was starting to like it. He liked the view from Law's apartment. Sometimes he would sit at the balcony just to watch the sunset. What made him even happier was that Law seemed like he was beginning to soften up towards Luffy. He used to just glare and ignore Luffy's questions but nowadays he could see Law's faint smile whenever he did something stupid. He probably found Luffy's idiocy funny but Luffy did not care. He will work hard to make Law open up more to him.

Ace and Sabo were going to visit in May. In a week they were going to be celebrating Luffy's birthday in Baratie, one of the popular restaurants in the city. It was really hard to get reservation for the restaurant. Luckily, the owner's son was Luffy's friend. They go to the same university but Sanji was 2 years older than Luffy. Sanji made good food and some of Luffy's friends and lecturers would be there too. Luffy was excited but he had been thinking how do he get Law to attend his birthday party?

Luffy went back home late that day. He was waiting for Law to come home. As soon as he heard the door unlocked, he sprung up from the seat and greeted Law. "Welcome home Mr. Trafalgar!" Law was surprised to see Luffy still at his apartment. "Why are you still here?"

"I am waiting for you!"

"Huh?"

"This Sunday is my birthday! We're having party! Will you come?" Luffy asked Law with a wide grin.

"Birthday party?"

"Yes, please?" Luffy said, while launching his doe eyes attack.

To be honest, Law hated party but seeing the pure hopeful look on the boy's face halted him from rejecting the invitation straight away. He was not usually so soft-hearted. What was happening to him?

"You can just.. Leave a note or text me you know.."

"I want to invite you personally!"

"I.."

"Will you come? Please?" Luffy launched his doe eyes attack again.

"O.. Okay.."

Wait. Did he just agree?

"Really? You'll come? Thank you! You're the best! I'll text you the place and time! Good night!" Luffy took his bag happily and went home, leaving Law in daze.

The next day, Law was at the hospital cafe having lunch with his friends - Penguin, Shachi and Bepo when the conversation took place.

"What do I gift a teenage boy for birthday?"

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Penguin, Shachi, and Bepo said in unison.

"What?" Law just threw them a confused look.

"Law! You never bought anyone birthday gift!" Penguin told Law with a frustrated tone.

"Not even us!" Shachi added.

"I am jealous!" Bepo's eyes looked like he would break down to cry soon.

"But.. I always treated you to birthday dinners. Didn't I?" Law furrowed his brows.

"That's not the same!" His colleagues said in unison.

Buying gift was a hassle. He did not really like thinking what to gift people so he always ended up treating his friends to dinner. Luffy told him to not bring any gift but this time, he had the urge to buy a birthday gift for Luffy and he had to admit that it was quite weird.

"Oh Law. Could it be.. "

"Law's finally at that age.."

"I'm so jealous!"

"What are you people talking about?" Law stared at his colleagues, amazed, because somehow they sounded so stupid.

"We always thought no one would ever melt your icy heart."

"No wonder you're less grumpy lately."

"I'm so jealous!"

"I- Idiot! I- I- I- am not.. Wait, what? Grumpy? I'm not grumpy!" Law finished his sentence with an icy glare.

"Oh, I have an appointment with a patient. Gotta go!" Penguin immediately left the table. Law's icy glare usually indicated the potential for something bad to happen.

"Me too." Shachi quickly finished his food and followed Penguin.

"Me too. Later Law!" Bepo stood up and followed Penguin and Sachi.

Everyone left.

Law let out a sigh. In the end, he did not get the answer he wanted. Who else could he ask? Then, he saw Monet. Monet was a pretty lady with long light green hair and clear amber eyes. She was a nurse at the private hospital. She was one of the women who did not have crush on Law and he thought, Monet probably would not overreact like his friends. Since Monet was a cool woman he decided to ask Monet.

"Monet?"

"Yes Dr. Trafalgar?"

"What would you gift a teenage boy for birthday?"

"Hmm? That's an interesting question. I'd gift him something he likes."

Law thought for a while.

Food? No. No.

"What if you don't know what he likes?"

"Then, maybe something useful?"

It was Sunday, May 5th. The party would start at 8 PM and it was 7.40 PM when Law arrived. He parked his car in the parking area near the pier that lead to the restaurant. Strangely there were not many cars there. Law thought it was weird because Baratie was always almost full. He locked his car and slowly walked towards the restaurant. The sign had the word BARATIE lighting up on it and there were LED lights surrounding the sign. It was a floating restaurant and was one of the best restaurants in the city. The restaurant was shaped like a fish with balconies for guests who wanted to enjoy fresh air while eating. It had plenty of lights installed and the restaurant looked really pretty on the water at night.

Approaching the restaurant, he could see Luffy waving at him from the entrance to the restaurant. He looked really excited and it seemed like he had been waiting for Law. Luffy was wearing a red hoodie, black knee-length jeans and sandal. There was a straw hat hanging from his neck.

Straw hat at night? That is weird.

"Mr. Trafalgar! You're here! Come on in! We're starting! We got the whole restaurant reserved!" Luffy's tone was excited and he gave Law one of his wide grin.

Law was wearing a white shirt, black cardigan, spotted jeans and a pair of heeled black leather shoes. He looked handsome as usual and he was holding a big red box with golden ribbon. He handed the red box to Luffy and wished him.

"Happy birthday."

"This is.." Luffy was surprised but he took the box anyway.

"It just doesn't feel right if I don't buy you one."

"Thanks! You're the best! Let's go!" Luffy grabbed Law's hand and pulled him to the seats to introduce him to his friends and lecturers. Law was startled when Luffy grabbed his hand but he did not make a fuss about it.

"The one with green hair is Zoro, the one with orange hair is Nami, the one with curly hair is Usopp, the one with brown hair is Chopper, the woman with black hair is my history lecturer, , that man with blue hair is Mr. Franky, my maths lecturer, and the man with afro is my music lecturer, Mr. Brook!"

"I am.. Trafalgar Law."

"Hello Trafalgar!" All of them greeted Law in unison.

"Luffy, your cake is here!" A blond guy with curly brow called out to Luffy. His hand was holding a big cake-like thing.

"And that blond guy is Sanji! He's my friend too! He makes good food!"

"Oi Luffy is that your new friend you told us about?" Two men, one with black wavy hair and freckles on his face, while the other with wavy blond hair and a scar on his left eye, came in from the balcony and saw Law. They are Ace and Sabo. Luffy's older brothers.

"Yes he is!"

Ace and Sabo walked up to Law, with their huge grins and greeted him.

"Hello. I am Ace and he is Sabo. We're both Luffy's brothers. We heard a lot about you." Ace introduced himself and Sabo to Law in a friendly manner.

Heard a lot?

"I am.. Trafalgar Law."

"Please take care of our troublesome brother!" Ace and Sabo spoke in unison, while bowing to Law.

"Err.. sure." Law replied and bowed back to them.

As soon as Ace and Sabo walked away, Luffy whispered to Law. "I am sorry Mr. Trafalgar. I told them you're my friend. If they found out I work with you they will be questioning you like mad. They are kind of, protective."

"It's okay."

"You guys ready? Let's get the party started!" Ace and Sabo announced, while spinning what seemed like metal pipes, that were on fire.

"Ok. Let's start with my special birthday song for Luffy!" Usopp announced while standing on the stage, holding a mic.

"Zuperrr!" Franky put his two hands together and made a weird pose.

"Don't think I'll be happy just because you ask me to sing you moron!" Chopper was with Usopp on the stage and he was holding a mic.

"Cheers!" Zoro and Nami were already holding some drinks in their hands.

"Nami-swan~~ don't drink too much!" The weird blond guy Sanji was spinning and his eyes looked like heart shapes.

"Yohohohoho I'll play violin for everyone!" The afro lecturer took out his violin and started playing a background music for Usopp and Chopper.

Robin, Ace and Sabo just laughed.

Luffy's brothers, friends and lecturers are funny. And what is with this flashy celebration? Metal pipes on fire? Law felt like he was in a comic.

Law had to admit, the celebration was a little different from the parties he used to attend. There was no boring birthday song, no blowing candles, they don't even care to snap pictures of food. Most of them at the party are just.. Hilarious and spontaneous.

Law just sat there, observing Luffy's friends when Luffy came up to him with a plate full of what seemed like bacons. It was just that they came in slices like birthday cake.

"Mr. Trafalgar, this is Sanji's creation. It's a meat cake! Try it. No bread. It's gluten free! It's mostly meat!"

Meat cake? Expect unusual thing from this kid.

"I can't eat too much.."

"At least eat half of it!" Luffy said to Law with his persistent face, again.

"Okay.. Okay.." Law gave in and took the plate from Luffy. Then, Luffy went on the stage and began singing with Usopp and Chopper. The performance was quite amusing to Law.

Funny kids.

While eating his cake, Law wondered why was it that Luffy seemed to know his dislike for certain food. Not like he ever told him.

2 hours had passed since the birthday party started. Law went out to one of the balconies on Baratie to take in some fresh air. Luffy's brothers, friends and lecturers were still having fun inside. He felt like his energy was draining and some fresh air will help charge him back. Earlier, he contemplated going back early but he figured he could stay a little longer. He leaned on the railing and looked at the sky. The stars were visible and the moon was full. He was surprised they could actually see such a view in the city.

Then, he thought about Luffy. It had been just a month and he found himself softening up more to him day after day. He was not sure if that was a good thing.

A moment later, Luffy came.

"Mr. Trafalgar! Here you are! I've been looking for you! I hope they did not scare you!"

He handed a glass of drink to Law and Law just took it.

"Have you seen my gift?"

"Yes. I saw it! Thank you!"

Law bought him a set of tracksuit, sport shoes, shoe bag and a water bottle. All of them were red in color.

"I hope they are not weird. I really don't know what to get you but I think they will be useful.."

"Don't worry about it! I like them very much. I will take good care of them! You're the best! You know?"

Law just smiled at Luffy and shifted his gaze to the sky. This time, it was a real smile. Luffy felt like his heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Trafal-"

"Hey Luffy."

"Y-yes?" Luffy was surprised, again. That was the first timeLaw ever called him by his name. Since their reunion, that was.

"Just call me Law."
