When I got to school on Friday Law wasn't there. And while I listened to the teacher talking about something as unimportant as finals, I thought about the dark haired man that was missing beside me.

I had tried to find him the day before. Even did… But when I had finally found the right address, his mother came around and I just couldn't come up with a proper sentence. There had been no doubt that she was Law's mother. The same dark hair, tough hers was a lot longer than his… She looked like an older version of him, just female.

I could have said something about looking for Law regarding the lessons he had missed but I didn't manage to actually spit it out. Ok, I admit it. I'm fucking scared of this. Law means an awful lot to me, regardless of how hot he is, he is just a really nice person. I get along with him and I need him around.

And of course he's smoking hot, is my cigarette supply and my personal coffee shop guide. I just need him. Sighing lowly I tried to focus on the lesson but didn't manage. I decided that I would go home after this one. I couldn't concentrate on any subject at all.

Packing my stuff I was almost out of the room when the teacher called me back. Rolling my eyes I turned around and took a look at Borsalino. He had again put this ugly yellow suit on, sunglasses fixed on his nose. "How can I help you, sir?"

He looked me over, taking in my red coat and skin tight black shirt. I raised an eyebrow. What was the guy up to? "I saw you were paying attention today." My eyebrow rose a little higher. I didn't trust the guy even the slightest bit.

"Could you please copy your notes and bring them over to Trafalgar Law's place?" "No!" Borsalino didn't even look at me. He rummaged through his papers and handed me a file with Law's address. Not that it was required. Since yesterday I knew exactly where he lived. "It wasn't necessarily meant as a question, Kid. I know how many lessons you actually ditch. The only thing that protects you from being kicked out is the fact that your grades are on a high level nevertheless."

I grit my teeth at this. It had only been a question of time before someone would use this against me. And I had to agree with the guy. I was ditching a lot. Less in the last few days, due to Law but still… "I will bring the stuff over, don't worry. Have a nice week end, sir." With this I was out of the room and left the building.

I took the next bus that would bring me close enough to Law's home. Getting out one station earlier, I walked the remaining distance, trying to sort my thoughts but didn't really succeed. The air was freezing cold and within no time my fingers and nose went numb. I shivered.

Probably I would be glad to reach the place in the end and not waste any time to get in there. At least the whole walking had one positive then… Standing in front if the letterbox once more I looked up along the gray walls. And there he stood on a balcony, obviously smoking and watching me. I took a last calming breath and pressed my finger on the door bell, never breaking the eye contact.

Law flicked the cigarette over the balustrade and disappeared into the building. For a moment I believed that he wouldn't let me in. Then I heard the door being opened and pushed it open. The hallway smelled faintly of cleaning with lemon aroma. "Come up, it's the third floor." His voice sounded ok, but I knew he could was good at acting, especially when I couldn't see his face to tell.

Walking up the stairs I felt how I became more nervous with every step. I was just delivering homework, right? Law awaited me at the door, leaning against the wooden frame. He looked tired, but not ill. So he was ditching after all. "What do you want?"

Law's voice didn't sound angry, just exhausted and maybe there was a hint of worry in it. "I'm delivering your homework." He nodded and stepped aside. "Close the door behind. I'll get you a coffee. You look cold." Knowing perfectly well that he was probably only acting calm I entered the apartment.

Slipping out of my shoes I put my bag down and followed Trafalgar's voice to the kitchen. The smell of fresh coffee was spreading and I took a deep breath. I saw how Law smiled. "You're not ill, are you?" He shrugged. "I've got a headache from all the stupid thoughts spinning around in my head, but besides I'd be ok to go to school, if that's what you're asking."

Trafalgar turned around and leaned against the fridge, looking at me. His expression seemed relaxed, bored even, but I could see through it. He was nervous and unsure. I sighed. "Law… I'm sorry ok?" The dark haired male flinched at this. I imagined to see a slight hint of hurt but knew that this was just a false hope.

"I… just don't know what to think about it, ok?" I nodded. It was my mistake, so Law would lead the conversation. "Just forget about it. It won't happen again, don't worry." He seemed relieved but again there was something additional edged to his look. "I can be found in 'The Moby Dick' tomorrow, just if you care…"

Emptying my cup I got back to my feet and headed for the door. "Thanks for the coffee. Hope you'll be better soon. See you Monday latest." Shutting the door behind me I left the building with a heavy sigh. Yes, this would be bad. This was going to hurt…

I know I was really bad with spelling and grammer the last few chapters. I was basically uploading in the middle of the night, right after I managed to type the chapters.

I just don't have time for anything these days. There are things going on around here that give me such a huge headache.. And then of course I'm just fucking tired. I will go over the chapters at some point though, don't worry...

Read & Review please - Thanks!
