Author's Note: Mmkay! So I've been writing out plots for other moments during school where I should be doing my AP Lit stuff but who cares about passing that class anyway? So all I have to do is type it up on my old as fuck laptop and post it up for you all! Problem is getting it on the computer...so from now on I'm changing my updates to every other week. Sorry for the inconvenience! But you also get two chapters today so no complaints!

(This is the part where I respond to comments so just skip ahead if you want too)

Thank you so much for all the reviews last time! If you dont want to read this feel free to skip ahead

LunaSkye23: Thank you! Yeah this is his last year. He's finishing up college while also working in the nearby hospital because…..reasons you'll find out later xD and yeah he's a little smartie pants but we love him for it.

roo17: All those compliments . But really, thank you so much! I really hope these next chapters live up to your expectations! Honestly I think it's a rare talent to spend three hours straight with Luffy and *not* punch him in the face! I'm really glad you like the writing because honestly I don't think it's all that good xD

Staticy Fox Atra: Yeah Luffy can be… I just hope I didn't make him toooo annoying. I'm glad you liked it though!

86Fran: I'm super glad you liked it! I'm hoping that I can make a good character progression even though I'm doing mini time skips in between chapters.

Guest: YES! Oh my Jesus thank you so much I couldn't remember where I'd found it! You win, my friend! And I'm really glad you like it!

My Editor: Seriously I'm totally going to finish this one. Couldn't be done without you though. You are the literal best right now.

Nicole: See I'm going to write your story just like I promised! (All 50+ chapters…)

Disclaimer: I do not own anything but my own plot and any OC's I add into the fic. Special thanks to DayDreamFox for the idea for Luffy's major!

Chapter 2: Vultures

The next month passed more smoothly than Law thought it would. Life with the idiotic freshman was hard but, as much as he hated to admit it, the little pest had

grown on him. He'd caught himself smiling at Luffy's frustration from trying to work out a math equation that he'd been studying for over an hour just two days ago. Then, he got up and left to go to Penguin's. Because there was no way he could be growing to like the smaller man. He'd sooner die.

Besides the growing comfort he had around the younger man, the two had worked out a something of a routine. Every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning, Law would wake up approximately around eight am and get a shower. Then he'd get Luffy to wake up, most of the time by throwing water on him, so he'd get his shower. While Luffy was taking his sweet ass time, Law would read a textbook or a book on strange hospital cases. Then Luffy would grab his backpack and camera and bounce around until Law grabbed his keys and jacket and headed out the door. Law would drop Luffy off at his first class of the day and Law would go to his and then go work at the hospital. However, Luffy insisted on making a little detour.

At first Law refused. No. No way. That bull in a china closet did not need any more sugar. But after a few days of persistent whining he'd given in and pulled into the Grandbucks. Luffy would always be out of his seatbelt and half way out the car door before the surgeon even parked the car. If someone had that much energy at nine thirty in the morning surely they wouldn't need any caffeine right? Wrong. Each morning Luffy would beg to go and each morning Law would give in. Only, he didn't call it giving in. It was more of a way to make Luffy shut up.

Law would stand in line with him and make sure he didn't stir up any trouble with the other college kids who didn't have half the energy the photography student had. 'They're the ones who need this overpriced shit, not you' Law'd think as he half glared at the smaller man in front of him. Luffy would just grin that stupid grin of his and ask him what he was going to order.

Normally Law would refuse to buy anything. He didn't want to purchase anything so shitty for an even shittier price. Even if Luffy was paying. But this particular morning called for coffee no matter how shitty and overpriced it was. So after Luffy gave his order and went to choose some bad pastry, Law proceeded to order something off the menu. He was too tired to really know what he was ordering he just rambled off something that was written up there. "You usually don't order anything, Law." The barista that Law had come to know as Usopp commented. "What makes today any different?"

"I'm just really tired." He replied, glancing over at the one who's kept him up all night.

"Ohhhhh." Usopp followed the elder's line of sight to the younger and gave a grin. "That's why."

Law saw his mouth turn up into a sly grin and scowled. "It's not like that." He growled out.

"Sure. Sure. Anyway you made a good choice considering all that's on that menu." He said as he waited for Luffy to come back with a pastry.

"Yeah I guess." None of it sounded like coffee anyway. But caffeine was caffeine.

"That'll be twelve belli and sixty five cents." Usopp said. Luffy dug the money out of his wallet and handed it over before eagerly going to wait at the drink counter. Law stood at the counter and talked to Usopp about his art while he waited for Luffy to return with their drinks. After he did, he gave a polite goodbye to the barista and left, holding the door open for his hyper roommate.

Pulling out his keys to unlock his car he heard a plastic crash and a large gasp from behind him. Tiredly, he turned around knowing he was probably better off just going to the car. And, as usual, he was right. There Luffy was, on his hands and knees, tears welling up in his eyes, his large coffee in a large puddle. "Why." he said, looking up at the older man. "Why do bad things happen to good people."

"Luffy," he sighed. "You just split the coffee, stop crying you're acting like a fucking idiot." He glanced around at the other tired college students amused faces and for some reason he felt a huge amount of anger well up in his chest. They weren't allowed to laugh at Luffy and his stupid antics. They weren't allowed to make fun of him. "Back the fuck up and go buy your stupid fucking caffeine." he growled at the onlookers. Then he grabbed Luffy by the arm and dragged him up and back to the car throwing him in the passenger seat and then sliding into his own. He threw the car in reverse and tore out of the parking lot.

Luffy was being too silent for…..well….himself. Law sighed and took his own coffee out of the cup holder and help it out to the younger man. "Here," he said, keeping his eyes fixed on the red light. "Take it." If giving him the coffee would make Luffy more like himself then coffee he would get. Law just couldn't stand the silence he was giving him.

"Really?" Luffy asked, turning to look at him.

"Yeah, just fucking take it already." Law huffed. To be fair Luffy had paid good money for this stuff and he didn't even get to drink his.

"Thank you, Torao! You're the best!" The freshman grabbed the cup and gave him another one of those damn grins.

"Yeah, sure, whatever."
