A.N. The seventh chapter? It seems before doing anything else I have to finish this fic 'cause the sad plot of it doesn't give me a rest…
Don't give me that, please look away
From the senseless mess I've became,
Don't make me say those hurtful words
Please look away, forget me…
Law's POV
It was a week, a very long, tiring and hurtful week without him, I moved to another hotel, further from him. I have been out of my room ever since I came here, thinking became too big job for me, so all I've been doing is lying on any kind of surface and staring into nowhere. I would eat once a day, but didn't speak with other people for the last six days I haven't used my voice once. I felt my throat being itchy from not using it, but I really wasn't in the mood to talk with anyone.
On the seventh day I suddenly understood that I has been a week; he probably starts getting used to being without me. I wonder if he likes his new job? To prevent us from meeting I asked the higher ups to remove him from being my manager and to put him somewhere higher. They didn't want to agree as Luffy made sure everything went smoothly when matter came to me, but only took me a threat that I will quit for them to do what I asked for.
I should probably also get back to work, I can't hide here forever, it would be unfair, he's doing his best trying to forget me and I'm here sulking. I need to move on too… Oh goddess what am I thinking…? It's impossible to move one… but at least I could pretend to fulfill my promise to smile, though I doubt I will ever be able to do that. But you never know what tomorrow will bring, right?
I sat up on the carpet I've been lying on; yea I should call and tell them that I'm coming tomorrow … I stood up and waited a little for my legs to adjust to standing, in these days it has been a rare action my body made… I slowly, not trusting my legs, walked to the bathroom; if I'm going back to work I need to look like a model and not like useless guy who spent the last week curled up in a ball.
The moment I walk in the room my photoshoot is supposed to happen Penguin runs to me. Penguin is one of the makeup artists and one of those rare people who aren't bothered by my attitude, maybe that's because we're childhood friends? "Is it true? You really broke up with Luffy?!"
I walked pat him without even bothering to take a glance at him; it really isn't a topic I want to discuss… Penguin didn't give up and started walking next to me. "Why? You two were perfect for each other! He put up with everything you did! Why did you do something so ridiculous?!"
Is now everybody gonna nag me about this? "We broke up, end of the story."
Penguin glared at me through the shade of his cap. "Are you an idiot?! What end?! Don't act stupid on your own accord! This must me the dumbest decision you have ever done!"
I gritted my teeth as irritation grew in me; why should I explain myself to him? I do what I want with my life, even if it means that I'm destroying it, it's my decision… "Law! Don't be stupid!"
"Thay enough Penguin, I have to get ready for the photoshoot."
I walked to the person who was holding the outfit I was supposed to wear today and walked into the changing room. Maybe I am truly stupid, stupid to ever hope that I could be at the same level as Luffy so we could have a normal relationship…
Avoiding Luffy was hard. Always checking the main hall before walking in the building, always ride lift when I know that he won't be at it. Later I even stopped riding it and started walking stairs; you never know what will happen… but it still seems that it was unavoidable to meet him…
I looked ahead where Luffy was walking at my direction while reading whatever papers he had in his hands. He didn't look – he looked like he lost weight, the usual glint in his eyes was gone, and his eyes were a little swollen; probably from crying. My heart clenched impossibly hard; I did it for him, it would be even worse if we broke up when we understood that it was really impossible…
His stance was self-confident like usual and only several meters were left between us, I started praying, so he wouldn't look at me. Please don't raise your head, please don't raise your head… I walked by him…
Lffy's POV
Suddenly a familiar aura and smell passed me, it immediately made my heart ease up a little, but my mind didn't react the same. I quickly turned away and saw Law standing by the lift I just walked by, he was standing with his back turned at me and was obviously avoiding to see me. A lump appeared in my throat out of nowhere; Law…
My hand reached up to the spot above my heart as it started beating faster. To say that I didn't think of a possibility that once back at work I would stop being his manager would be an absolute truth. It hit me like lighting out of the blue. Now I was the chef of the editing department and no matter how nice my new colleagues were I missed my old ones, I missed working for Traffy.
Finally the lump from my throat disappeared and my voice came back to me. "Law!"
His back flinched when he heard his name, but he didn't look back. When I stepped first step towards him the lift doors opened and he walked in. he still didn't turn at me and my pace fastened. "Law!"
The lift doors closed and I felt my heart clench; he doesn't dare to even look at me? I looked down at the document files that slipped from my arms; why does it have to be like this…?
A.N. I was just soooooo lazy today… I particularly spent four hours in tumblr checking LawLu stuff or simply killing time… *sighs* Well I still managed to write a chapter… Yay?
