A Barrage of Side Characters

Sitting in lotus position on the lawn outside his ancestral house, Luffy basked himself into the brilliant burst of colors of blazing red, pure white and sun-kissed yellow roses in the garden that Robin and Franky had taken care off. With the weed pulled out, hedges cut symmetrically, the garden looked as immaculate as it used to.

The weather was perfect. The sun was up. The fresh breeze of wind blew seamlessly. The birds were singing and the elegant colorful butterflies were gracefully hopping from one flower to the other sipping their own fill of sweet nectar as they dance around each other.

Luffy sighed in contentment as he scanned the beautiful scenery. Now, if only his Torao was around to sit with him and enjoy a moment of peace cause damn, it only happens once in a while. Speaking of his Torao, where the hell was he?

Ever since they found the image hidden in the book, the tattooed agent's demeanor changed. Well not like the man had a lot of emotions splayed on his face. It was either looking pissed off or smiling when Luffy was around with the rare blushes that the explorer oh so loved.

Did Torao not like the kiss Luffy had given him? That seemed to be the only reason for the sudden change. He frowned and stood up from his comfortable position stretching his limbs and brushing off the grass that was sticking on his clothes.

He roamed around the mansion, checking every room and calling out the agent's name. He pondered for a moment, pausing in the middle of the hallway, was Torao giving him the so-called 'silent treatment'? He shook his head as if to wake himself from his stupid thoughts. He was also sure that it was too early to leave the 'honeymoon stage'. In fact, they never experienced that, they were blasted with reality the moment they got together.

With a frown on his face, he grabbed the knob gently turning it and pushed the door to Law's room. He peered through the gap and saw a human-sized cocoon on the bed. He walked past the dim room, softly climbing on the bed and staring at the burrito person.

A mop of dark hair poked out of the blanket with squinted gray eyes looking at him. Luffy bit his lip and squealed internally. Why was his Torao so damn cute?

The man rubbed his eyes, smiling as he saw his lover looking at him with so much fondness and adoration. "Good morning, Luffy."

"Good morning, Torao. Did you sleep well?" The man half-nodded with obvious hesitation, the circles under his eyes seemed darker just like the first time they met.

Luffy softly inched himself closer to Law, gently tugging the blanket and snuggled in against the older male burying his head in Law's chest sighing in contentment. Law nuzzled his nose against the ebony hair that smelt of sunshine and flowers, he put an arm around Luffy's waist, pulling him closer to him delighting in the way their breathing rhythmically matched each other. The younger raven purred as Law caressed his cheeks running down to his neck, tracing his collar bones.

Luffy could spend the entire day with Torao like this but they need to prepare for their trip to Dress Rosa. They need to move as soon as possible, the World Government may be out of their problem for the time being but Cipher Pol was still there, lurking behind the shadows following their every move, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce.

Losing their tailing won't be easy but he was ready to make deceptive actions. Luffy clicked his tongue, as he realized the mansion was not exactly safe even with agents monitoring the area and how he royally fucked up when he appointed Law as the WG representative to monitor his actions. It was such a faulty move, he basically flung his Torao into danger. He almost let out a sigh but stopped halfway when gray orbs were now scrutinizing him.

"What's wrong?" Law said with a sultry low voice.

"A-all's well, Torao," Luffy said with a smile on his face, he hoped the man was still half-asleep to not notice his momentary hesitation.

"I-In fact, I should be the one asking you that..." He congratulated himself for quickly making a subtle distraction, well not like this wasn't bugging his brain for a while now. "You've been acting quite distant since yesterday. Did I do something wrong? Did you not like what I did?" Luffy lowered his eyes with a slight pout on his lips.

"I mean.. well..well it wasn't exactly decent to kiss you in front of my-" the rest of Luffy's sentence was cut off when soft lips took his. They were warm, sweet and sensual.

Law couldn't get enough of his lover's mouth, their mouths parted and Law slipped his tongue intertwining it with Luffy's. When they both draw back from breathlessness, Law rested his forehead against the smaller raven with his eyes closed, feeling Luffy's short breaths on his face.

"Was that enough to make you at ease?... I didn't mind the kiss, I actually loved it, you're getting bolder. It's sexy." he slowly opened his eyes to see the beautiful brown orbs staring at him and pinkish tint spread on his lover's cheeks and Law couldn't help but grin.

He knew it was wrong to hide something important from Luffy that could help him have an audience with his father but then again, Luffy knows his father. He was intrigued as to how they met but discussing matters pertaining to his father would just ruin the current mood surrounding him and Luffy.

It was an unspoken truth that sooner or later the cat would be out of the bag but he wasn't exactly ready to give the details. It had been years since he made contact with his family and basing on Luffy's history and his views on families, he assumed the smaller male wouldn't like the strained relationship he had with his dad.

Law sighed internally, maybe he could tell Luffy before they leave for Dress Rosa. He certainly didn't like the thought of seeing his father again but he also didn't want to leave Luffy especially with the threats that surround the smaller raven. But before all that, he would appreciate if he was clean and fresh as he explains the whole Doffy-is-actually-my-dad thing to his lover.

"Luffy, I'm going to my apartment... Would you like to come with me?" he asked the explorer, he could personally guard Luffy, he felt at ease that way.

The younger raven hummed while nodding not leaving the warm chest he thoroughly enjoyed but then suddenly leaped out of bed with a smile that reached ear to ear. "Really?! I can?" he then paused and the smile was replaced with a deep frown. "but I..i guess that would be a bad idea, Torao."

Law sat up and faced the smaller raven. "Why? Don't you want to take a look at my place? It's not as big as your house obviously but-"

Luffy fervently shook his head. "It's not like that...I would love to. That would be totally awesome seeing all your stuff, every corner would smell like you. That's practically heaven for me...It's just...I.." he sighed "I don't want my enemies to know who you are, where you live and all that stuff. Your boyfriend's not exactly an exemplary citizen, Torao."

Law climbed out of bed and cupped the shorter male's face. "I don't care. I'm an agent, my line of work involves danger."

"Ohhh~ That's intense, Torao. Shishishi." Law rolled his eyes, he was still amazed how Luffy could instantly joke around when a couple of seconds ago, he was all serious and shit.

"Seriously, I can protect myself and I want to keep you safe too. Though I know you don't want that, you're not exactly the only stubborn person in this room. No matter what you say, my mind's made up from the moment I went with you."

There was a pinkish tint on the explorer's cheeks as he smacked the agent's chest.

"Ouch!" The older raven rubbed the area where Luffy's hand landed. "What was that for?"

"That's for being sappy and making me want to eat you," Luffy said with a huff crossing his arms over his chest.

"Oh," Law smirked. "I should be sappier then... I don't mind getting eaten by you." He winked at the smaller raven.

"Gah!" Luffy barged out of the room pausing momentarily near the doorway. " Don't tempt me!" he said while giving the man what seemed to be a stern look but turned out all cute in Law's eyes while pointing accusingly at him. The agent couldn't help but chuckle at the level of adorableness his lover displayed.

"S-stop that!" Luffy exclaimed as he waved his hands.

"Stop what?" Law tilted his head.

"L-la-laughing like that! It's distracting!" Luffy huffed, looking away from the tattooed man but Law could see brown eyes catching a glimpse of him. He grinned and started walking towards Luffy with eyes intently focused on the man's face.

Luffy slammed the door before Law could reach him. "H-hurry up, Torao! We don't have all day!" the younger raven stomped his way to god knows where mumbling under his breath making Law shake his head, 'Who's good at teasing now?' he thought.

After washing up and getting dressed ( though he really didn't see the point when he still wore the same clothes after bathing), Law left the room in a hurry to find the smaller raven. He was thankful to see the man sitting in the lounge.

Seeing Luffy's clothes made him a bit more comfortable of his own, the man was still wearing the same vest and blue jean shorts. Of course, he knew it was a different set cause basically, his boyfriend's wardrobe consists mainly of reds and blues. At least he was not the only one looking like he hadn't changed.

The explorer perked up seeing his Torao ready. He informed his crew -by means of shouting - saying they'd be back as soon as possible, Law didn't know if they had heard him but the collective 'okay' was enough to prove him wrong. He really wondered whether the Straw Hats were really actual humans, they had heightened hearing as a sort of coping mechanism with Luffy or his little raven was that loud for them to hear him considering the sheer size of the house.

The duo walked out of the massive land into the winding dirt path that leads to the main street. Luffy hummed Law's impromptu song the entire way skipping leisurely, his straw hat bouncing on his back and happily pointing, naming and classifying every butterfly he encountered which impressed and at the same time, shocked the older male. He often forgets that Luffy was actually a genius and have a wide range of knowledge with nature which was part of him being an explorer.

Law shook his head, he couldn't read what was inside the man's head or whether was there any at all except for random things. They were supposed to be looking out for danger due to the severity of their situation but seeing his lover's sparkling brown orbs as he eyed their surroundings made Law relax. Luffy's company was always refreshing, no matter how crazy his idea might get. He felt himself getting swooped into the explorer's pace again shrugging and ignoring the voice inside his head to take caution.

Before they left the mansion, he asked Luffy to at least get a few guards to come with them. Law would choose not to but Luffy's safety was at stake here, he'd swallow his pride for that one. And considering Luffy was an asset of the WG and was damn important with all the intel he could offer them, it won't be a problem.

But the younger raven declined almost defiantly saying he didn't need stuck-up men in suits following him around like some shady character. Law imposed but he knew Luffy won when the younger man said 'Torao is enough to look after me' with his puppy eyes. He didn't know whether he should feel proud about Luffy feeling safe around him or that was just Luffy's strategy to take the WG's resolute eyes away from him.

Possessed by the internal struggle for easily getting swooned by his lover, the agent accidentally bumped into a man who was crossing the dirt road. He turned to apologize but the man already scrammed away leaving Law shrugging.

Luffy stopped in his track and looked around with furrowed brows. Law was about to ask what the problem was when the straw-hatted explorer grabbed his tattooed hand and proceeded walking a little faster. It didn't take them long for them to reach the main street.

The duo immediately hailed a cab but instead of giving Law's address, Luffy asked the driver to take them to the nearest cafe specifically asking for one with the busiest clientele. The driver smiled and nodded, eagerly starting the car without further notice.

Law was inclined to ask Luffy with the unusual side trip but coffee did sound good for him and his system so the agent went along with Luffy's plan.

Law pulled a phone from his sweatpants' pocket, a new one given to him by Penguin to contact their office for mission updates or emergencies. This seemed to have gotten the explorer's attention who was jovially telling his stories to the curious driver. Luffy stretched his hand and tried to grab the phone but before the lithe hands could reach the device, Law quickly moved it to his other hand saving it from its untimely destruction.

The younger male squinted his eyes and sported a pout, facing Law mumbling something like 'just like Usopp'. The explorer then turned to the driver and asked if the man had a phone he could use which Law immediately stopped, not wanting to add another casualty to Luffy's cellphone headcount. Also, it would be a pain in the ass to replace the man's phone.

Fortunately, the cab halted as they arrived in the cafe ending the haggle between Luffy and Law for dominance over the phone. He arched a brow at how Luffy acted so weird.. well, not that he was not weird in the first place but he couldn't understand why the man would fuss over a phone when he knew full well he could destroy it in one touch. He didn't know if that was just Luffy's random impulse or did the younger raven have a reason.

He guessed the former for the explorer forgot about the phone the moment they stepped out of the cab and hurriedly ran inside the cafe on his toes towing Law behind. A staff offered them a secluded table which Law highly preferred but the smaller male strongly insisted that they should stay in the center which made Law cringed cause there was a lot of people swarming that area.

Before he could voice out his displeasure, Luffy already dashed towards the table, sitting comfortably waving at him with a wide smile. With a sigh of resignation, Law maneuvered through the pile of bodies.

The aroma of coffee assaulted all his senses, making him forget his complaints. He asked his partner for his orders and promptly stood in the long queue of caffeine-addicted customers.

He kept sending glances at Luffy just to make sure the man didn't do anything stupid out of boredom while waiting for his food. Cause everybody knows a hungry Luffy was a dangerous Luffy.

He peered through the crowd again and by the gods, Luffy looked so adorable looking around like a lost child. He knew it was stupid to constantly check the guy but he was worried that someone might sit down with 'his' Luffy. He should've put a reserved sign on the table, that could work.

Stupid Law and his stupid big mouth.

The agent swore under his breath scaring the teenage girl that was openly checking him out as he saw a back of a man who took his seat and was now talking to his lover. Law left the queue cause fuck that, he would not let anyone flirt with Luffy while he takes their orders. And for some reason he wanted to punch the shit out of the guy, he wouldn't care if he was the goddamn president, for his little raven was now sporting a disgusted frown.

Law's patience was wearing thin when the stupid people won't let him pass. As he drew nearer, he noticed two men moving closer blocking Luffy's side and two more was now standing beside the pony-tailed asshole. Law could hear their conversation as he pushed one last idiot out of the way.

"How have you been Luffy? You look even prettier than the last time I saw you." The man waved his head thoroughly disapproving what he just said and brushed his fingers on Luffy's scar.

"I guess that was an understatement, pardon me... You've grown to be a beautiful young man. Did you know that everybody missed you? "the man paused "Especially me, Luffy-chan."

Law was pissed with the extreme familiarity and hissed hearing what the asshole just said. Luffy was now eyeing him, more or less trying to subtly get Law's attention with his eyes but who was Luffy trying to fool with his overly dramatic brow movement.

The man slowly turned and looked at Law, his head titled proudly with a smirk on his lips. And gods, Law wanted nothing more than to remove that smug look on the man's face with plastic surgery but with his tattooed knuckles.

After his annoyance had decreased to a tolerable level and realizing it was bad to make a scene in the middle of the cafe, he took a deep breath and the man's face registered in his brain.

"Rob Lucci" he muttered the name in a hushed manner like it was venom as he rushed behind Luffy, placing his hands on the younger male's shoulder. He felt Luffy's shoulder ease as he controlled himself not to 'disinfect' the other man's touch on his lover's cheek with his kisses.

"What do we have here? Do I spy a lover?" the man faked a frown. "Trafalgar Law, isn't it?" the man arched his brow and place his elbow on the table, resting his chin on his entwined fingers and clicked his tongue.

" I was disappointed hearing that you're now kissing the WG's ass Luffy but this... this whole agent lover is just ridiculous." the man chuckled deeply. "Are you that desperate to keep your so-called family safe that you'd make sure they couldn't say no and have an agent lover as a leverage?"

Luffy hissed. "Leave him and my friends out of this, Lucci." The younger male wanted to deny his connection with Law but what was the point when the asshole in front of him already knew. It would just hurt his Torao, Luffy couldn't even imagine the bad aftertaste it would leave on the older man if he denies their relationship.

He clicked his tongue, how the hell did Lucci even knew his deal with the WG? Having Torao around doesn't explain it, they could've kidnapped him or Law could've been his mole inside WG...unless they had their own mole planted inside the World Government..he cursed internally, this was getting messier than it ever was.

The man chuckled again, this time with amusement in his eyes. "Please sit down, Luffy's friend. Law glared at Lucci and remained standing, he would not let this asshole order him around. Law hated the man, not only for his criminal activity but the way he treated Luffy like he was his plaything.

He was already furious hearing the man's previous words, he would not tolerate the bastard who ruined Luffy's life by killing his family. If the fucker could stop being overly familiar with his boyfriend and get the hell out of this place and drop dead in the process, that would be more than nice, he thought.

The man shifted his gaze back to Luffy. "Aren't you done compensating for your lack of familial love with your little playhouse family? Isn't it time to come home, Luffy-chan? We'd gladly take you in. I can be your brother... or if you want, lover." Lucci said with a tone of sarcasm as dark as his heart.

Luffy remained quiet.

Law's eyebrow twitched, he might as well put this man in the number one spot in the list of anger-inducing assholes. He should've let Bepo send his gun to the mansion so he could shot the bastard, consequences be damned. The world would actually thank him for removing something so vile and despicable in its realm.

"I'm surprised you can still return to that place.." Lucci let out a devilish grin "I always thought you were more of a person who dwells in the past yet you still brought your friends there. Don't you think the same thing could happen to them...hmmm Luffy-chan?" The fucker's grin even grew wider when he noticed Luffy's eye widened for a split second.

Luffy clenched his fist, veins popping out of his smooth hands. "You better not touch even a single strand of their hair or else you won't know what's coming, Lucci." the explorer said through gritted teeth.

"Oh..is our little sheep making a threat?" The man dramatically gasped. "My, my, you're getting bolder Luffy-chan, you really fit in our family now. Why don't you come with us nicely and quietly?"

The man looked around, scanning the area. "Unless you want to have some fun, you choose a crowded place after all. Did you think a crowd could stop us?" the man frowned " Now I'm really hurt, I'm thinking you forgot who you are dealing with here Luffy. What would you like in the news headlines for tomorrow? Several innocent lives taken by a sudden explosion in a cafe or several died due to stray bullets?"

Law controlled his rising anger. Not only was the man blackmailing his Luffy, he also had the guts to involve innocent lives. The agent sneakily placed his hand inside his pocket and with practiced movements, he unlocked the phone without looking at it and dialed the World Government emergency number. He knew Penguin or Sachi would receive it, pinpoint his location and send in back up. He only hoped they would arrive in time.

Luffy chuckled mockingly, he was already tired of dealing with Lucci. He would rather get shot right now rather than listen to his threats. He knew the man would be true to his words, he was worried about his crew and the people around him at the moment but seriously there should be a limit to how many threats you could tell a man in just a few minutes of talking. He would just piss him off cause that would make Luffy feel good. "Lucci-"

"Go fuck yourself." Law took out the exact words from Luffy's thoughts and damn was that hot.

Law had heard the distant sirens and he was damn contented with the man's disappearing smirk replaced with a vein popping on his forehead and clenched teeth. Law flipped the table and shoving the goon standing beside him and dragged Luffy to the counter of the cafe, getting inside the kitchen ignoring the panicking crowd and headed out to the back door.

Law looked around squinting at the blasted sun. He led Luffy towards a small alley. They could hear the sirens getting louder now deadening the shouts of men following them and their gunshots..

Luffy threw his body over Law's and both males slammed on the ground, wincing on the impact and searing heat surface. The footsteps were closing in and Law looked around once more trying to find a spot to hide. It was goddamn difficult considering the sun seemed to have sided with the assholes with its flaming light.

"Torao, the sewers!" Luffy exclaimed as he pointed the circular metal that covered the hole. The duo immediately stood up and moved the metal cover. Law let Luffy get in first and he followed suit, tightly sealing the hole. There was no reluctance in their actions as they moved down the filthy rusty ladder that was attached to the concrete wall skipping one or more step in the process. Luffy reached the ground first and waited for his partner who jumped down.

As soon as the man landed, splashing murky water all over them, Law held Luffy's hand squeezing it tightly. Beneath the clean big city laid a vast network of dark sewers. The first thing that hit their senses was the darkness and second would be the smell of death in a rather overwhelming intensity. The duo groaned loudly, covering their mouths and noses as they traversed through the interconnecting tunnels ignoring the dirt sticking unto their clothes, floating garbage, and dew dripping from the roof of the sewer with the aid of Law's phone.

They could still hear echoing voices of men following them even inside the sewers as the duo crawled into two adjacent circular holes. Law looked at Luffy who was utterly disgusted as they started crawling towards the end of the hole. Law inwardly groaned, counting from one to ten trying to not think of the shit (literally) that was floating in the black wastewater. He just hoped they won't become green turtles after this 'adventure'.

A few feet seemed to extend to a thousand miles while crawling half submerged in germ-infested waters. It was harder when they had to slow down and turn off the phone's light and avoid sudden noises that would resound in the area and attract the goonies following them.

Dirt smeared all over their figures as they reached a tight passageway. Without hesitation, Luffy slipped in, followed by Law who had a hard time inching his way through the tight path. They reached an open space where all the tunnels met and hid in a darker corner for god knows how long while still hearing the echoing voices inside the sewers which were now muffled by the rampaging sewer water.

Luffy winced as his right arm hit the wall and felt a warm liquid ooze from what he concluded as a bullet graze. It was a relief that the bleeding wasn't much, he looked up and questioned why it always his right arm getting injured. He should probably ask Franky to prepare a prosthetic cause fuck, he touched the wound with his filthy hands. He cringed at the idea that Chopper would amputate him if ever it gets infected. The image of Chopper looking evil as he chopped his arm made him shudder.

The explorer sighed inwardly, he was goddamn lucky to only have this damage and Torao wasn't harmed by all those trigger-happy psychopaths. Good thing it was dark that his Torao couldn't see the wound nor the blood that was now mixed with the dirt covering him, he didn't want the man worrying again. They need to focus on escaping from Lucci's goonies and leaving the goddamn sewers. The latter was obviously the top priority.

When the voices had disappeared, gods know how long they waited, Luffy told Law to inform the WG to escort his friends to the temporary base they'd be sharing with Law's team and double the agents guarding them with specific instruction to let Bartolomeo choose them personally.

Luffy knew he could trust Barto. Whoever was the CP's mole, the green haired man would find them eventually. He settled his eyes on the man beside him. He bit his lip until it bled, it wasn't Law, right? He shook his head before anxiety and paranoia would take over him completely. His Torao would never do that. Never.

Luffy didn't allow the man to end the call until he heard the confirmation that his friends were safely transported to the Head Quarters which took a while and so they were stuck in the godforsaken sewers for a little longer.

With a sigh, Luffy leaned against Law's side. "What a memorable first date." he muttered sarcastically, inhaling a huge amount of air and immediately regretting it as he started gagging from the overpowering stench.

Law couldn't help but chuckle even though he already wanted to tear every inch of his skin knowing how filthy and germ-infested his body was. No matter what kind of shitty (this time literally) situation they were in, Luffy could still make him smile.

Law and Luffy finally arrived in the older man's apartment after countless tries of hailing a cab that would allow them to ride even with their filthy asses. The bickering made both ravens irritated as the older man noticed the wound on Luffy's arm which the agent-doctor wanted to treat immediately.

Law wanted to call for an ambulance but Luffy was dead set against it saying it was stupid. People were looking at them either because of their filthy appearance or their public display of a couple's first fight. It would only take a little bit for someone to report them for public disturbance.

In the end, they had started walking while waving at each cab that would pass, much to the misfortune of whoever they encountered along the way until they reached the agent's apartment.

The agent went to the corner of the veranda of his classic two-story brick red apartment and dug his fingers into a small potted plant. He raised his hand for Luffy to stop and let him get in first, he slowly unlocked the door, pushing it as silently as possible wary of any kind of intruder his place might harbor.

He scanned the living room carefully. Deeming the room safe, he motioned his hand for Luffy to follow.

The raven tiptoed and remained standing near the door as per Law's request with a frown on his face. The agent checked every room of the house and every possible hiding spots, inwardly groaning at the trail of dirt he was leaving as he climbed up the stairs towards the second floor.

He sighed in relief as soon as he finished checking the entire place. The older raven ran to the living room and cursed as he saw the room empty.

Law's adrenaline shot through his body the moment he heard Luffy screaming in horror. He ran to where the sound came from hoping nothing happened to his lover or he would curse himself for not thoroughly checking the place which ended up with his boyfriend getting hurt. He was already blaming himself for Luffy's wound and adding more would just make him feel like shit.

He paused in the doorway to his kitchen and facepalmed seeing the explorer frozen, staring at his dark, empty fridge like he was fucking traumatized. Of course, Luffy would react more to Law's empty fridge than with the prospect of dying with infection. He hoped the fridge didn't break his lover's sanity as the man knelt and started sobbing in front of the box, frantically touching the empty chambers with his filthy hands.

Law would need to spend three goddamn days to clean his entire house.

The older man ushered his sulky boyfriend into the bathroom, grabbing the man's arms cause hell, they badly needed a damned shower. Luffy winced and swatted the hand that was squeezing his arm.

Law raised his eyebrow at the sudden violence. He looked at his hand and stared back at Luffy's arm. Right.. how could he fucking forget. Good job Trafalgar.

'Shit' and a litany of profanities was all that his mouth could say. He ripped Luffy's clothes like a bear mauling his victim checking the smaller raven for other wounds. He bumped his forehead on Luffy's in an endearing manner. He pledged that he would personally punch that asshole Lucci in the face the second time they meet.

Law grabbed Luffy's hand and lead him to the bathroom in his bedroom. Luffy was too damn filthy to even care about the fact that he was stark naked in front of Law and eagerly turned on the shower.

Law couldn't promise that he didn't check out Luffy's awesome asset. The smaller man seemed oblivious with his stares, focused on ridding himself of the disgusting smell and filth. Law slapped himself mentally, he was a goddamn doctor and it was not like it was the first time he'd seen a naked person. He needed to check Luffy's arm and not his freaking ass, no matter how eatable it was.

He removed his own clothes and threw it on a trash bin as he headed toward's the second bathroom located on the first floor. The thought of sharing a bath with Luffy was so enticing that he had to forcefully cleanse his perverted mind with the thought of baby polar bears playing on the ice. He hurriedly but thoroughly washed over and over trying to finish faster so he could treat Luffy's wound.

He grabbed a towel and tied them on his hips and headed back upstairs. His lover was still in the bathroom and he was thankful for that cause he didn't know if he could control himself seeing the younger man all bare for the second time. He slipped into a pair of jeans and a gray shirt. He placed a few sets of clothes for Luffy to choose considering he was a lot taller and bulkier than the younger raven. Law placed the clothes on the bed and headed back downstairs to get his first aid kit.

Luffy rinsed himself and went out of the shower, he grabbed a white towel that was stacked in a glass cabinet and started drying himself. He saw the clean clothes on the bed and choose a red hoodie that almost reached his knee. He frowned, he was absolutely not that short compared to Torao. The clothes must've mysteriously stretched as he put it on. He slipped on a pair of black shorts and sat on the bed drying his wet black hair.

Law came back with the first aid kit in hand, he eyed the raven-haired explorer whose face was entirely covered with a white towel. He saw a pair of widened brown eyes who was staring disdainfully at the box Law was carrying. The older raven sighed and scooted beside the younger man who was now sticking to the headboard of the bed.

"Let me check your arm."

"You-you don't have to..It's just a graze, it stopped bleeding now."

"That doesn't mean we have to let it be." The agent opened the box and he was sure he heard Luffy snarl. Was he dating a wild animal? He sighed and ran a hand through his damp hair. "Look, I didn't call an ambulance, I didn't call the HQ, I followed what you wanted-"

"Half-heartedly," Luffy said as a matter-of-factly.

Law rolled his eyes. "Yes. That's true. Still, I followed what you asked of me. Now please would you listen to me and let me treat your wound. I know I snapped earlier, I was just worried. What if you got a lethal wound? Do you think that would make me happy?" He saw the guilty face on the young man and he knew he was winning their little argument.

Law cupped the younger male's face. "I know you want to protect everyone you hold dear but at least let me protect you too. And please let me treat your wound. I don't want you to get sick." The younger man sighed like he just missed winning the lottery and moved closer, removing the hoodie he was wearing leaving him with a flimsy black short.

Law gulped, that had been a bad..very bad idea. Law's skin crawled as Luffy's pinkish nubs caught his eyes and with Luffy's pouting lips, he had to chant the Hippocratic Oath. He repeated it in his head as he focused on disinfecting and cleaning the wound.

"See? What did I tell you? It didn't hurt, right?." He seriously felt like was talking to a goddamn kid.

"Okay. Fine. You were right." Luffy said while huffing looking everywhere except Law's face.

"Wait..Can you repeat what you just said?" Law stared at the younger man genuinely shocked.

"You were right, it didn't hurt. I should've listened to you in the first place." the younger raven mumbled.

"Again," Law stated.

"You" Luffy paused and squinted his eyes "You just want to rub it in my face, don't you?"

Law couldn't help but let out the laugh he held in and clutched his stomach. He must be insane for he finds great satisfaction as Luffy admitted he was wrong. What a great day to be alive, he thought.

"You're an asshole." Luffy pouted and threw a pillow at the laughing raven.

Law stared at the blushing raven and smirked. "You know that's an assault on an officer right?"

"What? I'm a criminal, I do whatever I want, officer." Luffy retorted smugly rolling his eyes.

"Really?" Law leaned closer pushing the younger male against the headboard. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law," he whispered into the younger male's ear, brushing his lips against the rim of his earlobe as he could no longer withstand the temptation in front of him.

Luffy gave a little whimper and shiver and it thrilled Law. His reservations were overridden with the carnal need to see Luffy writhing beneath him. He threw whatever was left of his self-control and started nibbling Luffy's tempting earlobe as he pinned Luffy against the headboard.

With a low groan, his long tattooed fingers moved eagerly over Luffy's bare chest, nimble thumbs caressing the nub until it stood erect.

Luffy gasped at the feel of Law's fingers. Law gripped the back of Luffy's neck and pulled him closer, not allowing the smaller male to squirm away from him. Heat rose and coiled within the older male as his clothed body pressed against Luffy's. He took Luffy's mouth with his own and kissed the younger man with intense desire. He wanted Luffy... He wanted him now.

The kisses were fierce, urgent, full of passion. Law felt the rapid pulsing of Luffy's heart as he pressed kisses against his chest. Luffy moaned helplessly as Law traced his collarbone with kisses and then took his pink erect nipples boldly into his mouth. He eagerly lapped the pointy tip with his wet tongue, he hummed tasting Luffy's delicious skin. He circled his tongue against the nubs, flicking the tip before gently nibbling it while his hand squeezed Luffy's other nipple.

Luffy felt himself melting as Law's darting tongue left no bare skin unexplored. A pulsating wave traveled up from his toes, inch by inch until his lowers limbs seemed to not exist at all with Law's ministrations.

Luffy whined at the loss contact as Law carried him in his strong arms, placing him gently on the center soft cushion. Law stared at him with half-lidded gray eyes, caressing his flamed cheeks.

"I always knew you'd look so beautiful beneath me but this... this is.. you are mind blowing...Luffy." Luffy moaned with exquisite pleasure hearing those words and grasped Law's neck pulling him into a smoldering kiss, their tongues dancing, exploring each other's wet, warm caverns.

The younger raven tugged at the hem of Law's shirt pulling the fabric up throwing it unceremoniously on the floor while his fingers skimmed along his naked sculpted chest. His lithe fingers ran across the tanned skin, feeling Law's muscles. His eyes hovered over the beautiful skin laced with blank ink, Law's chiseled pecs, Law's broad shoulders, Law's everything was perfect.

Luffy quivered beneath the older raven's gaze, his gray pools darkened burning with lust and longing.

"L-law" the young raven whispered hoarsely his voice trembling "T-touch me." Hearing his name coming from Luffy's sweet mouth flipped a switch in his brain.

Their chests were now damp with sweat as Law's hands slipped into Luffy's black shorts, kneading his plump ass with his strong hands.

"Ngh.. Ahh.."Soft moans became urgent. Luffy's back arched as electricity rippled all over his body, digging his fingers into the older male's back.

"Fuck." Law groaned in pleasure hearing Luffy's lewd moans. His lover sounded so fucking good, it was driving him mad. Law hungrily kissed the explorer's lips gently biting those luscious lips, he began to draw intricate designs on Luffy's salty flesh with his slick tongue, marking every spot in the process.

Luffy's lips were swollen with saliva dripping down the corner of his mouth. His cheeks were read and heated, his brown orbs were clouded with lust, he was gasping between heavy breaths. All Law could think of was how fuckable Luffy looked. He felt the uncontrollable twitching of his cock. He had never felt this aroused in his entire life.

He needed more. More of Luffy.

He pulled Luffy's shorts down and licked his lips seeing the pre-cum-covered tip of Luffy's erect cock. Luffy eagerly hooked his trembling thumbs into the waistband of Law's pants and boxers and lowered them in one drag, the taller male's erection sprung free and Luffy moaned seeing his lover's size.

His muscles rippled under Law's touch. Law's hands slid over the indentation of Luffy's slim waist then trailed down his toned belly to his cock, wiping off the precum with his tattooed finger. Luffy let his head fall back, his back arched at the tremendously pleasurable ministrations.

With a muffled groan, Law lowered himself on top of Luffy. He shifted a bit and Luffy's moaning became erratic at the friction of their erections. He growled as he slowly and deliberately ground their cocks together, the smaller raven started bucking his hips eager to feel more of Law's hard cock.

"M-more, Law, please.." Luffy said through his panting. Law bit Luffy's lip, devouring them. Law's hand reached their erections, grasping both members in his hand.

"Ahh, y-yes!" Luffy mewled.

"Shit." Law groaned seeing Luffy's face contort in pleasure as he started pumping their erections up and down. Their pre-cums leaked out of their cocks dripping on Law's hand as his strokes' pace increased. The sound of Luffy's soft husky voice repeating his name was an aphrodisiac that excited him beyond reason. Law would never get enough of Luffy's lustful gasps and lewd mutterings.

Law felt the need to ejaculate at the insistent coil in his lower body, ready to burst into a ravenous orgasm as he tightened the grip on their cocks and doubled the pace.

'Nnnghh .. L-Lawww" Luffy came first, eyes fluttering open and shut with the coiling intensity that was too much to hold in as he 'orgasmed' bucking his hips a few times as white shot across their stomachs. A low growl escaped the older raven's lips as Luffy's fingers dug dipper on his back. He was sure it would leave a mark.

He pumped harder wanting his own release, Luffy was a mess from his orgasm, moaning his name over and over.

The younger male's name came out of Law's mouth as he came, adding more cum to their drenched stomachs. Despite wanting to be inside Luffy and feel him clench against his cock, he was too damn tired from the stupid chase they had. He rolled over to Luffy's side facing the smaller raven trying hard to calm his ragged breath.

Both raven heads breathed heavily. As they calmed down from their sexual high, gray eyes stared into brown orbs as smiles plastered on their sweaty faces. Law kissed Luffy's nose and ended up in the younger's lips, but this time it was tender, gentle and sweet. Luffy meant so much to Law, he would do anything for the younger raven. Absolutely anything.

The younger male sagged against him in a sated stupor. Law pulled the younger male closer until they could feel each other's hearts beating loudly against their chest. Law ran his hand through Luffy's messy hair, caressing him.

"I love you, Luffy." He whispered into the smaller male's ears as he wrapped his arms around him, their naked bodies drenched in cum pressed tightly against each other. It felt right, he really loved Luffy, he wanted to be with him and share his crazy adventures. He knew it was not desired that lured him to Luffy, it was love.

There was silence as Luffy's body stiffened against Law's. The agent waited patiently, his anxiety and nervousness growing by the second as Luffy remained silent. He didn't have the courage to ask again as time passed by. Unwanted thoughts plagued the agent's mind.

'Maybe it was too early for the younger male, maybe Law rushed things and Luffy wasn't ready for a full commitment. Maybe he scared the younger male to the point where he couldn't say anything. Maybe it was bad timing, Luffy would think he only loved him after experiencing pleasure with him.'

Luffy felt like he was on cloud nine and god he hoped Law hadn't said it due to a momentary lapse of reason... He had been waiting for Law to say those words but the sudden confession caught him off guard with an overwhelming warm feeling bursting in his chest.

As those three words rippled in his brain, he felt like he was a protagonist in a movie where the lead wont get any words to express the happiness that they felt. He slapped himself ten times internally and imagined himself slamming his head against a table. He needed to answer the taller raven. He took a deep breath and hoped his voice won't waver.

"I..."the younger's voice was shaky and Law gulped anxiously waiting. "I- I've been waiting for you to say that... I love you too, Torao," he finally said nuzzling into the man's sweaty chest.

Law couldn't begin to describe the relief he felt the moment he heard Luffy's answer. It was intoxicating and unutterably incredible, he could listen to him over and over. It made him eternally, blissfully happy. He felt complete. One with Luffy.

Luffy was finally his. It sounded so exhilaratingly right as he repeated it in his mind. Law delicately moved the mop of hair sticking on Luffy's sweaty forehead, and kissed him on his forehead and his cheeks. He whispered sweet nothings in his ear after one chaste kiss on Luffy's lips, the younger started giggling and Law...Law knew whatever shit he'd encounter with Luffy from now on, they could overcome together.

Law begrudgingly left Luffy's warmth for he couldn't endure the sticky sensation on his stomach. The younger raven whined and Law kissed his forehead again before going into the bathroom soaking a towel in warm water and wringing it. He headed back to the bed and started cleaning Luffy's stomach and lower body. He then returned to the bathroom hastily cleaning himself and dashed back to the body he left and placing himself comfortable beside it.

A loud slam of a door interrupted their intimacy as the duo jump out of bed instinctively, hurriedly grabbing the discarded clothes on the floor, slipping into them in a split second.

Law groaned, whoever the fuck was bothering them would lose his fingers or much better, both of their hands. Law raced towards the walk-in cabinet and grabbed his sword, Kikoku. Law motioned Luffy to stay behind but the man just stuck of his tongue. Good old Luffy's back, he thought.

Rolling his eyes, he dragged the younger raven, who was huffing in defiance as he crossed his arm and stayed behind Law. The duo stood and waited, Law's grasp on his sword tighten as the footsteps drew nearer, loudly thumping on the stairs.

The door opened. Law was about to swing Kikoku when Luffy pushed him to the side and tackled the intruder, slamming the intruder's head against the open door. Law groaned and pushed himself up only to see a very familiar redhead with his fluffy red coat.

Luffy blinked repeatedly, rubbing his eyes as he remained straddled on the readhead who was groaning in pain and clutching his head. The man opened his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows looking at Luffy.

"Damn! Trafalgar fucking did a good one on me huh." he clicked his tongue and raised his hand to touch the body above him. "But...Shit, this looks so legit. I must have done something good while I'm alive for me to see my Luffy once again."

Law snarled at the redhead and pulled Luffy off of the man, hugging the raven tight. "What the hell are you doing here, Eustass?!"

Luffy stared at him with big questioning eyes while the redhead, Eustass, hissed at the tattooed man. Now the redhead wished he was actually dead, he'd rather enjoy his time with the imaginary Luffy than deal with the tattooed bastard.

The redhead's jaw slackened as he rose up realizing the 'imaginary' Luffy was actually freaking real.

"Wait...why the fuck are you touching my Luffy?" Eustass snarled at Law as he saw the tattooed arms protectively hugging the explorer.

Law titled his head. Just what the fuck was his adoptive brother talking about?
