Anxiety
Luffy's Point of View
"Luffy-ya, you are going to be home early right?" my tall boyfriend asked me. "Yes Traffy, I know I have been busy lately, I promise to come early" I kissed him on the cheeks and turned towards my car. "Take care, drive safely and don't over stress yourself love" my boyfriend waved me and behind him stood his classmates.
"Of course, I drive safely" I mumbled. I was afraid to drive car now days, though it was Traffy who went through such terrible accident, the fear was etched in me. I slowly began to ignite the engine and accelerate the car. With a deep breath I changed gears and left my boyfriend in his University for my work.
It had been four months since Traffy joined college and to my surprise he made friends. As I swapped through the pictures to select the next cover model for the monthly magazine, my head began to pain. Ever since Traffy stopped modelling, things became hectic. As spring neared our deadline to select a new face for magazine scared me and my team.
"Luffy" Conis one of my team members rushed to me. "Yeah?" I turned around chewing my pencil. "We are in trouble" Conis huffed. "What did we do?" I asked. "We did nothing; its Nami and Robin, they want a fresh face for the cover immediately as this spring we are going to launch a venture project with the Riku family" Conis spoke in one breath.
"Great" I slammed my head on the table.
"Luffy, have you found any new face?" Robin calmly walked inside our office with coffee mug in her hand. "No" I shook my head. "It's really hard to find a replacement for Trafalgar" Robin smirked as she sat opposite to me and pushed the coffee mug towards me. "Trust me I know" I look up with sad eyes.
"That tattooed body and toned abs I would give my soul to devil for just one night with him" Lolla one of the plump girls working as intern for me grinned as she came with more photographs.
"Sorry, Lolla... he is taken" I take my cup and drink my coffee. "Huh boss! Do you know who is the handsome man dating?" Lolla asked. "Yeah" I nod.
"Boss, can you tell that bitch I love him more than her! I prayed for his recovery after the accident" Lolla was Traffy's fangirl hence handpicked by me.
"Sure, that bitch already heard you" I grinned at her huge buttocks that turned around to leave me, while I thought I will make sure all the meat in her bento went missing every day.
"Still not out and proud as couple Luffy?" Robin asked.
"Not that we are not out. Our family and friends know my eldest brother is married to a man too. But if staffs know about their gay editor living with their hot model, media won't wait to figure things out and make it a sensation. Now that we are looking for new face for this year and with an eccentric lesbian boss we don't want negative publicity do we" I smiled.
"I know it's tough for you, to find a replacement for Law is hard. We don't mind you are gay out in public or not. We love you. Let's keep it less stressing okay Lu" Robin smiled.
"I am sorry, I just can't find the persona to fit our cover! No one has that mysterious handsome face, strong jaw, playboy smile, piercing eyes, copper skin shining with tattoo glazing under moonlight, None" I whined and my face was burning.
"That's why it's better to put Law under the knife and join the company back" Nami burst in with a huge grin and a shinny diamond ring on her finger" think of the witch and here she is I thought.
"Boss are you Law-san's fan?" Lolla was back to ask me. "Yeah he is" Nami sat on the table with a bigger grin.
"Good afternoon miss sunshine" Robin smiled. "I see you are married" I pointed my pencil at the shiny stone. "No silly, Vivi proposed me last night! We are getting married soon! We just got engaged" Nami being too happy was scary.
"Big-boss you are a Lesbian?" Lolla asked surprised. "Yeah does that change anything?"Nami's eyes suddenly turned into predators. "No" Lolla ran away.
"Congratulations" Robin hugged Nami. "Thank you Robin, I guess blue haired woman are meant to be in my life" Nami laughed and I could imagine the sweet blue haired Vivi being eaten by this monster.
"Luffy ask Law to get plastic surgery already" Nami could really be blunt, so blunt that at times, it stung. "Now now Nami, let's not bug Luffy, we need to make arrangement for next project" Robin gave me a gentle smile.
"Ah yeah, so we do.. Shit..." Nami yelled. "I need to buy a ring for Vivi" Nami looked scared.
"Yes you do" my staff said in unison.
"Shut up you assholes... I can't just buy any cheap ring for her" Nami suddenly turned into Medusa.
"You were so happy about the proposal that you had sex all night and you thought you will buy the gorgeous ring on your way to office. But in excitement you forgot" Rebecca from Riku Enterprise stood at our door with a smile.
"You are right" Nami always was happy when she had great sex.
"She loves you the most unlike you who loves money" I smirk.
"Luffy..." Nami grumbled.
"Just buy a beautiful blue diamond and take blue roses and bent down on your knees" I stand up and shove three photographs on Nami's face. "Here pick the guy you like for next cover and don't keep Rebecca-san waiting" I walk out of the door.
Law's point of view
"Come Law" Caime and Baby pulled me by arm towards the north wing of campus. "What? Where are you dragging me?" I asked both the girls. "Soul King has come to do few special classes for the music students, yet he has allowed students from other department to listen to him for first day" Baby informed.
"My friend Papaag has kept seats for us in the auditorium" Caime smiled. "What kind of music?" I asked. "Anything and everything I assume" Baby shrugged her shoulder.
Once inside the auditorium the little fellow wearing starfish hat took us to our seats. On stage sat a skinny man with violin in his hand. "Hello everyone! I am Brook, you know me by my stage name Soul King. I am glad to be back in my university after so many years. So here I begin" the skinny man sat on the chair and began his music.
He began with lively jazz and I could feel being squeezed by Baby and Caime on my side. Woman really got on my nerves. I wonder how Luffy handled Nami and Robin at times, both of them together was a battalion.
Little guy Pappag was a music student and keenly listening to Brook. I finally began to enjoy Brook's music. Very skilfully he was moving from fast beats to drop beats. By the time he came to the soft music, my eyes grew large. This was a music which Luffy loved. Luffy always sang the livelier version of the song. This was the song Luffy sang to honour my first successful cover shoot with him as my manager. What Brook played now was a ballad**.
When Brook bowed I realised tears were falling from my eyes. "Hey Trafalgar, you alright?" Baby asked. "Yeah, it's just this song reminded me something" I mumbled. "What?" Caime asked. "I have to hurry home and you both are coming with me" I pulled both girls by their collar.
"Where are we going?" Caime ask. "It's going to be our second anniversary" I smirked. "Didn't you say you dated for a year?" Caime asked. "One year of living together" I informed. "I deliberately say a year, at times people are too curious, if I say a year it's still a new relation and meddling is less" I grin.
"You are an asshole right Trafalgar? But I guess all models are" Baby laughed. "Shut up weapon head" I glare. "Caime, Law is meanie" Baby pouted. "Law-senpai! May I join you?" the parrot head asked me. "You know Luffy-ya right?" I asked. "Yes" he nods. "Tag along" I smile. Too my surprise I was too happy.
Luffy's point of view
"Luffy come with me honey" Nami caught hold of me as I stood at the open balcony of sales department. "Go away you witch" I pouted. "Sorry I was too blunt when I asked Law to go under knife" Nami hugged me.
"It's okay" I hugged her back. "Luffy I didn't mean to upset you, it's just Law is the reason we could become a top advertising company and agency. We scouted him when he was just fifteen, it was long journey. Robin and I technically taught him" Nami spoke honestly. "Yeah I know he was with you guys for long" I nod.
"You know the day he asked for a manager we were shocked, for years he refused one. You arrive and he only wants you. I never thought a playboy could be reformed" Nami giggled. "Look who is talking, if there was no Vivi you would have been in some bar spending your profit on drinks and one night stands" I smirked.
"Shut up... oh... come with me" I was again pulled in the car and we were soon on our way to the glass building what appeared to be a jewelry shop.
"Robin says Franky actually got her ring from here" I walk besides Nami as she glides and her orange hair floats behind her. "Hello ma'am, how may I help you" a girl smiled. "We need a ring" Nami flashed her expensive smile. Soon my eyes got blinded by so many rings shining at me. "Luffy what about Pink one?" Nami smiled.
"No" I said. "Red?" Nami asked. "Red signifies passion, is your marriage going to be all about sex?" I asked. "ummm no" Nami pouted. "This one" I picked a platinum ring with a blue diamond cut as rose with a ruby leaf" I smiled. "It's beautiful but..." Nami sighed.
"Vivi doesn't care about price, it won't matter if it's cheap or expensive" I pushed the ring in the girls hand. "We are taking this" I grinned.
Law's point of View
"Law your place is really cozy" Caime planted the roses in vase. "Thank you" I nod. "It's really ideal huh, one bedroom, a tiny compact but stocked kitchen, cute drawing room with an inbuilt study and nice washroom with big bathtub! The spatial management is beautiful" Baby walked towards the small corner table and picked the photo frame that was taken on mini-honeymoon Luffy and I had.
"I had no contribution. When I said to Luffy lets move in, he said he won't live with me in my hollow mansion! I told him I will buy an apartment and he can do the interiors" I informed. "You love this guy huh?" Baby flopped on the couch. "Yeah, this apartment was made into home within two weeks!" I place the plates on table.
"Lu...Luffy-senpai is really a caring person" the parrot hair guy was looking at the photographs hanging on the wall. "Luffy-kun looks really young" Caime bought the cake box and set it on the coffee table. "He is innocent and really caring person" I smile at Caime. "Law, how did you keep your relation hidden from media for this long?" Baby asked.
"Simple, Luffy was my manger and even if we were seen outside people assumed it was work and I made sure I met other co-workers here and there to keep media fussing" I smirk. "You are really sly huh?" Baby laughed. The door bell rang and I opened the door to find six people standing at my door.
"What is it Law? You called us for a party!" Ace looked at me. "No one informed Luffy-ya right?" I asked. "No Zoro tried to talk it out but I shut the Marimo up" Sanji handed me a bottle. "Wine?" I raised an eyebrow. "Punch" Koala and Sabo walked inside. While Ace's husband Smoker and Sanji's boyfriend Zoro entered with gruff. "Here is the wine" Smoker handed me the bottle.
"You made friends?" Sabo asked. "Yeah" I nod. "Fuck Lu was right you changed" Ace began helping Caime with a smile. "What are you up to Law? How's health?" Smoker asked. "I am good" again the door bell rang, Ussop and Kaya came with Chopper. Other guests were on their way now only person who was not here was Luffy.
Luffy's point of view
As I walked inside home expecting to cuddle in Traffy's arms, I was greeted with full house. "Happy Anniversary!" everyone in room yelled. "Huh?" was my only expression. I slowly grasped the situation. I could see my brothers, my friends, my bosses and their spouses and Traffy's new friends. Traffy was standing at the corner and looking at me. I still could not register what was happening.
"Why are you all here? Nami if you were coming to my home I could use a lift" I sighed. I still could not register what happened and Traffy was looking at me with narrow eyes. Suddenly my eyes grew large.
"Fuck! Today is our anniversary!" I rushed to Traffy's arms. "I thought you did not care" my boyfriend relaxed as I hugged him hard. "How can I not care? I just.. I just" I began to mumble. "Ssshhh.. it happens, you have been busy love" I got consoled.
"Let's celebrate" my brother was already holding the wine bottle. "Ace, let them at least cut the cake" Smoker my brother-in-law held my brother. "Fine" I could see both Ace and Zoro groaning.
"Lu..lu...Lu,,,Luffffy-senpai" a similar parrot haired guy approached me. "MeloKurma" I grinned. "Its Barthelomeo Luffy-ya" Traffy informed. "No.. No.. Lu..Lu...Luffy-Senpai calls me that" parrot guy blushed. He always blushed whenever he spoke to me. "Parrot-ya, please excuse us for now, let's celebrate" my possessive boyfriend cut in and pulled me towards the coffee table where laid our Anniversary Cake.
The cake was a creation of Sanji I could just feel it. It was done in yellow and decorated in red cream roses. "You better love it Lu" Zoro hissed near me. "I will Zoro I smirked. "Shitty Cook put an all-nighter to make it" Zoro told and we both knew it was forbidden knowledge. Sanji hated when people talk about him.
Finally Traffy held my hand we cut the cake. Traffy's friends the dark haired girl and green haired girl were too happy to watch us. Vivi was already wearing her ring and weeping in excitement while Nami was busy with Ace and Zoro to get hold of the wine. Koala and Sabo just smiled at me, suddenly I felt too relaxed.
Though our apartment was tiny, each and everyone in the party was moving smoothly. Honestly I was shocked Traffy actually invited friends to celebrate our two years anniversary. Not only that he had gone out of his way to keep the celebration a secret from me and did everything single handily.
After dinner I flopped on the carpet while Robin, Kaya, Nami, Koala and Ussop sat on my couch. Chopper sat beside me and Vivi was ruffling Chopper's brown hair. "Love, here" Traffy handed me a glass of wine. "I am aloud to drink?" I asked. "One glass won't make you dizzy I hope" Traffy smiled the only smile meant for me and I blushed.
"Law" Robin spoke. "Yeah Nico-ya" Traffy asked. "Did you get my mail?" Robin asked. "What mail?" I asked. "About photo-shoot" Nami pulled my neck into a hug from behind. "Huh? Why was I not informed" I glared at Traffy.
"She mailed me today after you left for work" Traffy spoke. "Luffy, we want Law to do just one last photo session with us" Nami spoke. "No" I hissed. "But" Nami spoke. "If he goes back to modelling, then that bloody Mingo will revive all his contracts with Traffy. Traffy will go through depression again. No!" I yelled.
"Luffy-ya" Traffy tried to reach my hand and I rebuffed him and walked towards our balcony earning a glance from everyone in party.
Law's point of View
I saw him rebuff my hand and walk towards the balcony. He was seriously angry and in pain, I could see how he did not want me to go back to modelling. "You should have told him Nico-ya" I hissed. "If we did, he would never let us talk to you face to face" Nami sighed.
I left them and walked towards the balcony. His back was facing me and he was shivering as the breeze was a little harsh. "Love" I called. "Traffy you are not going back to modelling, you don't have to get plastic surgery" Luffy was not looking at me.
"Why will I go for plastic surgery?" I frowned, yes I thought of getting under the knife sometimes, but I was not going to. "Because if you go back to modelling, you need to look best, everyone will want to be with you, you will be gone, you will leave me again, you will go back to those jerks.. Traffy will leave me again and I was lucky Traffy is in love with me. But Traffy will leave me if he goes back to modelling" that was it.
It was for first time I had seen him so vulnerable. His biggest fear has always been me leaving him behind. I was a playboy before I met him, I was a first class jerk before I met him, I learned to value love after I met him. It was my fault he still felt I would leave him, had I not attempted at breaking up before, he would have been fine. Now here he was still in fear of us parting. I turned him around by sheer force and planted my lips on his.
He tried to break free, but I caged him hard. I forced opened his mouth and entered my tongue inside. Soon I was ravishing his inside and hugging him hard. Finally he melted and clutched my shirt to gain more of me. After I could feel him calm down I pulled away.
"Firstly, I thought you knew about the mail. Secondly I just read it and did not call you because like I said I thought you knew. Thirdly I am not going to any modelling business again! Fourthly I won't get plastic surgery. Fifthly I am not going to leave you again, once was hell, second time will be eternal damnation!" I spoke all this in his ears.
"You are the one who has been with me after my beauty left me! Once I got into accident most of my friends were gone! You think I can ever leave you for those use for nothing buddies! I am here! I love you... I love you... I bloody hell love you" I yelled.
"Traffy"... after that my shirt was transparent with salt water. After so many things, he still feared that someone would take me away. The balcony was filled with tears and hiccups and I was being hugged out of my breath. "I.. hic... Love...hic... You..hic Traffy" Luffy spoke and to my surprise he passed out. He was really lightweight. One glass of wine was all it takes to make him my sleeping beauty.
I held him in my arm and picked him up in bridal style and walked back to party. "Don't tell me!" Ace was laughing. "Not all are like you" Sanji sighed. "Dart brow I sense sympathy" Zoro laughed. "Shut up Marimo" Sanji hissed clearly tipsy. "Law how many glass was it this time?" Sabo asked. "One" I walked towards our bedroom and Caime helped me put Luffy under the blanket.
"He loves you madly" Caime patted me. "Yeah" I nod and Caime leaves me to join the rest.
"Idiot, I am really the lucky one here" I close the door and walk towards Luffy and plant a kiss on his forehead with a satisfied heart.
