A/N: How goes thee readers, I have returned...I hope you enjoyed the last chapter since I ACTUALLY put description in it. You know the drill, thank you for the reviews, and if there is anything in particular you want to have in the story, shoot. Last time 2 chapters I uploaded where actually put on the same day! Cheers! Mostly the cuddles I've wanted to write. Time to wing it again...
How exactly was anyone suppose to react in this situation? Law questioned himself that every time he felt the same hand hold his own under the table. After the first time, it continued. Law had expected Luffy to shout out something like they were getting married or something over the top but he didn't. He never said a word about it, but seemed relaxed whenever he did it. Perhaps is because he never brags or talks a lot about past events? Or maybe because he hadn't asked Law if he could tell the secret relationship going on in the small ship to anyone. They haven't even talked about what was going on.
Luffy would also put his hand in his every time they went to read. Even if the space inbetween the bean bags kept them apart from any more "lap sitting." He let his hand reach over to Law's. It was fine and steady going and Law noticed he was gonna keep doing it after the 3rd day. Not that he had a problem with it of course. In fact he liked it and he wanted Luffy to sit on his lap again. He'd have to ask. He took a deep breath and opened the door to Luffy already laying on the ground with the book in his hand, about to fall asleep.
"Luffy-ya, I'm here." Law pulled up Luffy by his shirt, he plopped him on the small red bean bag while he sat on the little bigger red-blue one.
"What page were we on last time?" Luffy asked scrunching the beanbag seeing how far he can go before ripping it. Law leaned over to flip the page to the page they were on. He crossed his legs criss cross applesauce, he patted his leg telling Luffy it was a go. "Whoa, ya mean it?" Law begrudging nodded, allowing more room for Luffy to sit in.
"Don't get so cocky."
"I'm not! I was just unsure if it was okay with you last time. But I did bring food, Sanji only gave me a bag of peanuts and he locked up the rest." Luffy pouted, rustling the bag at Law's face. Law actually thought for a moment Luffy was gonna share...Down goes the peanuts into Luffy's mouth to end up in the bottomless pit that is his stomach. As Luffy's usual routine, he grabbed Law's hand just like they did the first time, then started reading the first paragraph in the new chapter they had started.

"Ra! I'm tired, I don wanna read anymore. I'm sure as hell you don't want to either, do you Traffy." Law shrugged playfully, pretending he wasn't aware of what he thought. Luffy narrowed his eyes, he wrapped his arms around Law's neck, then put his legs around Law's waist. Luffy, though a bit uncomfortable with the position he had taken, got a big bear hug from Law in return. The regret of shifting disappeared, and instead he was sure to take in the warm heat from Law's own body. Surely the outburst of hugging would be weird. A while ago he had treated Law like he would treat anybody. But then again, anyone, and anything could have a big impact on a person. It could go quickly, it could go slowly... He cuddled a little closer,Law then opened his mouth but then closing it not wanting to say anything just yet.
"Are we a thing now?" Luffy asked. He was sure to look Law in the eye with his 'determined' look. They both had the the question in their mind throughout the whole ordeal. Law first considered how he will confront the crew...Then again he REALLY wanted to be by Luffy's side. Luffy made him feel fuzzy inside, he would never admit it however. On the other hand, Luffy did not have any second thoughts on pursuing him. He liked him. No, he loved him. So why would it be a problem for them to get together? Even if they have a long distance relationship on seas, Luffy wanted to belong to Law, and Law wanted to belong to Luffy.
"...Yes..." Law whispered into Luffy's shoulder. He could literally feel the excitement radiate from him.
"Really? I can't wait to tell everyone else, first-" Law quickly put a hand over Luffy's mouth, urging him to keep it down.
"Hey! Keep it down first! I really don't want to go to to them right at THIS moment." He grinded his teeth. Luffy looked confused, he grabbed Law's shoulders and grinned.
"They'll be fine! Trust me!"
"No, just, do you feel it's the right time to?" He pulled Luffy's hands away from his shoulders.
"Well ya."
"Okay, then do me a huge favor and don't tell them just yet. I want to get a better kind of friendship going around with them alright? Otherwise they might kill me." He swallowed. Luffy only put both arms around Law's neck again, smiling into his shoulder.
"Only 'cause you said so." Luffy's muffled voice came out. "Plus, I bet only Zoro and Nami would actually do that. Or actually be mad. 'Cause you're my boyfriend now ok?" Law's heart skipped a beat.
"Seriously, do you have to use that word?"
"Yes." They stayed there for a while unmoving, letting their minds drain from any troubling thoughts. With the troubling thoughts aside, they finally got a huge weight lifted of their shoulders. Law, out of instinct raised his hand, playing with Luffy's hair.
"Land! Luffy come out and see!" Chopper called out. He was not in the room at all, but it was enough to scare Law so much he literally stood up and dropped Luffy. Luffy pouted playfully, immediately jumping onto his feet.
"...Already...?" Law whispered. Luffy realizing the sudden shift in mood, held onto Law's hand.
"Come on." He said. Law still wondering what he was up to walked to the door, letting go of Luffy's hand to open the door. He then realized, he got what he wanted done. Now he can finally be more confident around Luffy. Luffy then jumped out the door, breathing in a lot of air.
'What is that idiot up to?' Law scowled.
"OI! I demand we skip this island! It's too boring! Even more boring than Long Ring Long Land!" Everyone's jaw dropped, including Law's.
"What has gotten up to you Luffy? Did you bonk you're head when you got on the ship?" Nami asked. Luckily for Luffy, the island actually was boring. It only contained some plants, and wasn't really considered an island. "We have to drop off Law remember?" Right about that time Law spoke.
"Pick somewhere else." Nami looked at him confused. Everyone else on the ship shrugged. "Well, since its way too small to be an island do you guys wanna check it out?"
"Ya! Thank you Traffy!" Luffy cheered. As to be assumed, most crew members where oblivious. Sanji raised a brow. Though they did know they where up to something.
A/N: Yo, yo, yo! You know how Luffy keeps his promises. Also, if you're wondering why Law didn't want to tell yet is because he doesn't know everyone all too well yet. (Since he spent most of his time with Luffy haha.) Plus, being Gay pirates may not be a good mix in the pirate era. Even if they're strong. Stupid Law. So, now that Law is finally relieved he will act more confident. 'Cause he's a babe, man. He's my babe. Dumb chapter. Plus, it would make sense if Law wasn't so much of a weenie. I feel like that's what I'm doing so...What do you think?
