Your birthday makes you happy, the holidays make you happy, but for Luffy it was a whole other deal. Getting to see his friends again always made him happy, and right now Luffy was happy as a comedian.
"Zoro, Nami!" Luffy yelled out in excitement as he entered Kyōshi Hancock's classroom. Of course Law was behind him, wondering what the outburst was all about.
"Hey Luffy, long time no see." Zoro said as Luffy walked up to both him and Nami.
Luffy was a guy with lots of friends, in high school, but due to business some had to move.
"Hey Luffy," Nami said giving a quick smile, "Hey, you..." Nami said as Law walked by.
"I have a name you know..."
Nami did know Law, matter fact, Zoro knew him too. It wasn't that they hated him, they just didn't, well, trust him. Law of course was a respectful guy, but Nami and Zoro sure 'didn't see it that way.
A chuckle had escaped Law's mouth as he watched how Luffy was told by Hancock to stop talking, as she walked in, late.
Law was completely focused on his work, completely, ok no. His eyes were more focused on Luffy's green haired friend.
Why are they whispering so much?. Law thought desperately
Law knew very well that they looked like close friends, but deep in his heart, you could say he's jealous.
"Do you still have that habit of yours?" Zoro said with a smirk
"What habit?" Luffy asked with a head tilt.
"Umm the habit you're have know." Nami said joining in the conversation, pointing at Luffy's constant page flipping.
"Oh." Luffy said stopping, a blushed had appeared on his face soon after.
"Eh? Do you like someone." Nami said with a smirk
Luffy didn't say anything, he simply turned to the front of the class and acted as if he was paying attention. It's a surprise that Hancock didn't realize all the constant whispering.
With his continuous blushing, Luffy nervously took a quick glance at Law to see if he was looking, well...
"Oh. So he likes him." Zoro and Nami said in unison as they saw Luffy's habit in action.
...he was. Law did try paying attention for a little while, but he couldn't. He had caught the glance gave by Luffy on the corner of his eye. Law didn't want to admit it, but he could see a blush on Luffy's face.
Does he like him? Law thought trying to answer the question for himself.
Law shook his head afterwards, erasing his thought. Ever since Law's encounter with Luffy at the library, he hasn't been able to stop thinking about him.
A hand smack on Law's desk was suddenly heard by him, making him snap out of his thoughts.
"Law, I've been calling you." Hancock said sternly.
"Oh, sorry." Law said with not much feeling
"Why don't you tell the class what you've been thinking about so much."
All eyes on him, my goodness people, it's not like he is telling a story.
Law didn't know why he thought of Luffy so much, but whatever the reason, he, himself was going to find out.
Out of all eyes in the classroom that gazed on him, Law noticed Luffy's the most. It was like something fell on him as he realized he was thinking of a cover up...
Law simply yawned, and stretched his hands out a little, "Nothing, just tired." Law said to Hancock convincingly.
Well she was convinced. Not saying anything, she walked back to the front of the classroom, continuing her lesson.
This time around Law had caught Luffy's gaze, and gave him a smile. To Luffy it may seem like a simple smile, but to Law it was like a affirmation. Yep, he definitely knew why he thought about Luffy so much.
...he liked him.
