A/N: I've been meaning to get these two out and I've been SUPER busy with my LLC so it's delayed. I don't know how well I wrote the first one and it's probably super lame but idk it works. Also it probably has a bunch of errors so I apologise for that.
I don't have much time so this AN won't be long.
Enjoy! Please review!
Chapter 14: Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?
They'd moved in together, went on dates, and did couple stuff for the last few months but never had they really fought. Of course Luffy was annoying to the point of frustration sometimes but Law's feelings for him clouded his anger. He was too cute to stay mad at.
But as the law of life stated everyone had to have a fight at least a few times. And it wasn't Law who initiated it. It wasn't Luffy either.
It was an old friend of Law's who sent a letter to their apartment. Friend was a bit of an overstatement. Law wouldn't call Kid a friend. He was simply an ex-boyfriend from years back. And he hadn't had contact with him for two years.
Until now.
Law'd never told Luffy about Kid. He didn't want to. Kid was a taboo subject and if he never had to utter his name again it wouldn't be soon enough. Even Shachi and Penguin knew not to talk about him. The maniac had frightened him enough to change universities. There was no reason Luffy should be notified of the asshole's existence.
But then Luffy went downstairs to get the mail.
"Hey, Torao." Luffy called out, shutting the door behind him and shifting through the pile of mail, Bepo excitedly following him back in from outside.
"Hmm?" Law asked from where he sat at the desk editing a paper for Luffy. The idiot didn't know proper grammar to save his life and if Law didn't help him no one would.
"You have mail from uhhhh..." He struggled with the name. "Eustass...Kid?"
Law stopped typed and stood up abruptly. "Give me it." He said and snatched the letter out of Luffy's hands. He then went to the shredder and turned it on. He wasn't going to read it. He was going to pretend it didn't exist.
"Aren't you going to read it?" The photography student raised an eyebrow.
"Lu," Law sighed and thought about how to go on about explaining how much he did not want to read anything that asshat sent to him. "I don't like the guy who sent this. I'm not going to read it."
Luffy was silent for a minute before he frowned. "If he took the time to write it then you should at least give his letter a chance." He said stubbornly. Bepo, sensing tension, disappeared into their bedroom.
"I'm not going to read the damn letter from that asshole." Law huffed. "He...I don't care what he wants to tell me. I don't care if he took the time to write it."
"Did he do something to you?" Luffy asked, sitting down in one of the office chairs. Law bit his lip and looked at the sealed envelope in his hand. How had Kid gotten his address? Did he know about Luffy? If he did what would he do?
"You could say that." Law took a deep breath and threw the letter on the pile of papers on his desk. He'd get rid of it later when Luffy wasn't around.
"What'd he do?" Luffy asked.
"I don't want to talk about it Lu." He responded, sitting back down and turning back to the computer trying to distract himself.
"Was it something bad?" Luffy pressed. If this Kid guy had hurt Law in any way he wanted to know. For his boyfriend to act this way towards something...all stressed out and, for lack of a better word, scared, it wasn't good.
"I said I don't want to talk about it, Luffy." He said tensely. "Just drop it." He wasn't going to get Luffy involved with Kid.
Law never acted like this. Like he was holding information from him. Well, there was the topic of his family but this was different. While Law didn't want to talk about his family he didn't care. But this Kid character...something put him on edge about it. Why would Law hide something from him that made him uneasy? "La-"
"Luffy I said to drop it!" Law turned to face Luffy, all calm endeavors given way to an uncontrollable wave of mixed emotions. "What part of that don't you understand? Why do you have to be so...so childish? Just fucking grow up!" Law instantly regretted everything he said.
"..." Luffy's face contorted into shocked anger and their eyes locked for a moment of tense silence.
"Luffy..." Law's face softened from anger to fear. "I didn't mean-"
"Okay." Luffy stood up, grabbed his phone and slid it into his pocket.
"Lu-" Law stood up and started to move toward him but Luffy held back a hand to stop him.
"No." He said and walked toward the front door. He paused before grabbing the handle but then grabbed hold of it tightly and opened the door.
And then the door shut leaving Law feeling guilty, frightened, and painfully alone.
'What have I done?'
"I'm sorry."
