Chapter 5: Jealous
Valerie waved goodbye to the guys in the galley as Law lead her out and back to his room. They still didn't have a room ready for her. Since she was the only girl, it was best to put her in her own room.
The man who'd criticized Valerie earlier looked to Penguin, who'd joined their table. "Oi, Penguin. Do ya know why Cap'n is leadin' her 'round like tha'?"
"I was wonderin' that to." Someone else said. Penguin laughed.
"It's 'cause Valerie's blind as a bat. She can barely see a few feet in front of herself." The guy looked shocked.
"Have can she be a pirate if she's that blind?" Penguin shrugged.
"Don' know. Captain asked when we were getting to the next island, so he probably plans to get her some glasses."
"Wha' do ya mean she can barely see a few feet in front o' herself?" Some piped in. Shachi laughed and answered this.
"She couldn't tell the difference between a wall and an open doorway. She ran into the wall." The whole galley lit up with laughter.
The sounds of laughter followed Law and Valerie down the hall. Valerie looked back behind them. "I wonder what they're talking about." She said then sneezed. Law smirked.
"Probably about how you ran into the wall." She blushed.
"I hope not." She turned back around, and nearly smacked into Law's door. She gasped. Law's smirk grew and he let out a low chuckle. "Law! You were gonna let me run into the door!"
"Yes I was. It's too bad you didn't." Valerie's blush darkened and she pouted.
"You're so mean." Law's smirk didn't fade as he opened the door and lead her inside. He guided her to his bed then sat down at his desk.
"We should be reaching an island tomorrow. We'll be going ashore to restock on supplies and so that you can get glasses and other things."
"Hm." She hummed angrily then childishly turned her head in the opposite direction of Law. His smirk stuck to his face and he turned to the papers that had piled up on his desk.
He had to get all this done before they docked, and he definitely wasn't happy about that, but Valerie had amused him enough to put him in a good mood. He glanced over at her. She was still being stubborn and refused to look anywhere near him. Picking up his pen, he began to scratch away on the paper.
Valerie laid back and stared up at the ceiling. While the hallway was completely metal, the floor in Law room was wood and so was his door. His walls were, of course, painted white and the ceiling that she now looked up at was metal. There wasn't much in the room. Just a desk, his bed, a bookshelf, and a small night stand. Inside the bathroom, there was also a small closet.
'Such a dull room.' She thought. Her room was flooded with color and a little tight for space. There were pictures and posters all along her walls, and stacks of papers and books all around her room. Her desk was covered in a thick layer of papers and other random crap. On top of all that is where her laptop usually sat.
Thinking about her laptop, she suddenly remembered her fanfiction. 'This is perfect!' She said and shot up on the bed. She was in Trafalgar Law's submarine. This was the perfect opportunity to get new ideas for her story.
A knock on the door drew her out of her thoughts, and she looked up to see Shachi walking through the door. He saluted Law. "Captain, we will reach the island tomorrow morning." Law looked over to him.
"Good." With that Shachi turned to leave.
"Wait!" Valerie called after him. He paused in the doorway. Valerie looked to Law.
"If he doesn't have anything too important to do, can I walk around the ship with him?" Law raised an eyebrow at her. "It's boring just sitting here."
"Hn. If it doesn't inconvenience him." Valerie looked at Shachi with the perfect puppy dog eyes.
"You don't mind, do you Shachi?" She literally purred his name. A stream of blood shot out of his noses and he quickly covered it with a handkerchief.
"N-n-not at a-all." He stuttered. Valerie jumped up.
"Yay!" She shouted and ran over to him. Just as she got to him, she tripped on her foot and fell into him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders to keep them both standing. "Ah, sorry Shachi." She said and looked up at him through her lashes.
Shachi's breath hitched, and he pinched his nose harder. Pulling back, Valerie grabbed his arm and waved goodbye to Law. "See ya." She said and closed the door.
Law watched as Valerie bounded over to Shachi and as she tripped. Something bubbled up in his chest when Shachi put his arm around her and when she held his arm to her chest. He glared at the door after it shut.
