Law was currently sitting in a music store trying to process what had happened during school hours. Ok Bonnie surprisingly came out of nowhere, and Luffy...
Luffy!
He must think that we're dating. Law let out a big groan. Sometimes Music was the answer to calm you down, but really it wasn't working.
Law looked down at his cell phone and stared at the name on it. It read: Jewelry Bonney. He was just about to press the call button, when the phone started ringing itself.
"H-Hello." Law said a bit startled
"It's me! Bonney!" She said really excited.
This was it, Law was going to tell her. "Bonney..." Law said tensely
"Yes?" Bonney said catching the hint of nervousness in his tone.
"It's great that you came back and all, but I don't think-" Law's sentence was cut off by Bonney.
"-we should go out." Bonney said sadly "Yeah."
Law was speechless. He was trying to process how Bonney had knew what he was going to say, but soon gave up. "Sorry." Law said feeling bad
Bonney let out a chuckle indicating she's ok. "It's cool. I figured this might happen. Things change, right?"
Law let out a relief through the phone. He was glad understood. Law's stomach cringed as he realized something. Luffy. Sure they weren't together, but he liked him. He wanted things to be ok between them, so he had to tell them the truth.
"Yea Bonney, things do change." He said agreeing with her. "I got to go, ok?"
"Ok, bye. Let's just stay friends." With that said she hung up.
Law didn't have Luffy's contact so he thought of going to the library. What? It was the place they first met, it was the only option he had. A hunch he contained.
His hunch was right, Luffy was sitting in the same spot he had the day he first met him, doing the exact same thing.
"Hey." Law said as he approached him and grabbed the seat next to him.
Startled, Luffy jumped out of his seat landing on the floor.
"Are you ok?" Law said trying to suppress his laugh.
"Hi." Luffy said replying to Law's greeting.
"What are you doing here?" Luffy asked as he grabbed the book he was holding tightly. "Aren't you supposed to be with Bonney or something?"
"You mean my friend?" Law said with a smirk
Luffy lifted his head up and looked directly at Law. "So you guys aren't dating?" Luffy said in excitement. Realizing this he changed the tone of his voice.
"Yea..." Law said with a small chuckle.
Things were silent after that. It wasn't one of those peaceful silence, where you mind it. It was those despicable awkward silence. Everyone hates them, right?
Law watched how Luffy's grip on the book was still held on tight. A few seconds past and Luffy had started flipping the pages.
Why doesn't he just read? Law asked himself as he stared at Luffy's endless page flipping.
That was it. Law wanted to know the meaning behind all of this, seriously what was the whole purpose of getting a book if you're just going to flip the pages and not read.
"Luffy?" Law said getting his attention.
"Y-Yea..." Luffy said startled a bit.
"Why do you always flip pages." Law asked tilting his head a little.
Luffy was silent, well that's because he was into his thoughts.
Well maybe, it's because I like you and I get nervous around you. Luffy thought inwardly.
As the silence was rising, Law stared at how Luffy's cheek got red. Law could feel a tint, well maybe a lot of jealousness within him. Did Luffy like someone, someone that wasn't him?
"So?" Law said getting back on topic
Luffy let out a heavy sigh, he could have tried lying but he decided to tell the truth. Plus his attempts at lying has pretty much been a wait.
"I flip pages when I get nervous." Luffy said letting it out.
Law was confused. Why would he need to be nervous for? "Why, are you nervous?"
Luffy knew he definitely had to come out and say it. Now or never, right. "It's because the guy, I like makes me nervous."
Law's heart clenched at this information given to him. It was a guy who Luffy liked, that's all he knew for now. "And he's in this library."
"Y-Yea." Luffy said looking down in embarrassment.
Law looked around at library, well at the guys at least. None of them looked familiar to him. "Do I know this guy?" Law asked getting beep into things.
"Every single thing about him." Luffy said as he grabbed hold of the book again.
Law looked really confuse, who was this guy. "Who is it?"
Luffy shortly looked down, then at Law then looked away. He opened the book in a manner as if he was starting to flip the pages. "It's you." Luffy finally said and started to flip the pages.
