Find the Mistletoe

Having a half-Japanese boyfriend while possessing very small amount of knowledge about Japanese culture, was something that simply asked to be ride full of unexpected surprises. So having Luffy demand that they spend their Christmas together, as in just the two of them, was surprising, while highly welcomed. And Law loved his boyfriend enough to be composedly excited about the whole ordeal.

Truth to be told Law would most probably have spent the Christmas alone – sitting at home with some comfort food and watching cheesy Christmas movies. But for some reason Luffy decided that they will be spending the holiday together and even going out to some sort of event that he was too excited to truly tell about. Thus, Law was clueless exactly where Luffy was dragging him on the fine Christmas evening.

The two of them had exchanged gifts as soon as they woke up as Luffy had stayed with Law through the Christmas Eve and had met the Christmas day in the most pleasurable way possible. They had cuddled in the bed until midday watching the same cheesy Christmas movies Law would have watched if he had been alone. But he wasn't alone and watching those movies with his beloved made a huge difference.

After their lazy stay in bed they visited Luffy's family to exchange gifts with them, but not staying for long as everyone had plans of their own.

"Will you at least hint me where we're going?"

The shorter brunet shook his head, shaking of the fallen snowflakes while doing so, only for others to fall on him. "No chance Traffy, it would ruin the surprise!"

Law let a small smirk pull up his lip corners as they stopped by a traffic light and brushed his knuckles by Luffy's frost bitten, red cheek. "But we're almost there, a hint won't change anything, will it?"

Luffy's brown eyes melted a bit as their gaze became a bit foggy from such intimate contact with his lover. As the light change to green and the three people family who stood with them moved to cross the street Luffy shook his head, grabbing his most precious person's hand and dragging him across the street. "Oh no, I know what you're trying to do, and it's not working! You will not make me absent minded by your mere touch and make me spill the secret! It might have worked last night, but now you're getting nothing out of me!" Luffy turned his head ahead repeating his last phrase. "Getting nothing!"

Trafalgar let his hand sneak around Luffy's waist as he bought him by his side as they continued walking the half empty streets. "C'mon sweetie, it's not that big of a deal, right?"

The young male stopped turning his wide eyes at the tattooed male next to himself. "You definitely had a drink too much, you never use pet names unless you're drunk! Good thing I didn't let you drive and decide on going foot."

Law furrowed his brows as he tried to find an answer, but more sounding like a whine. "But you said it was because it's snowing and a – the road is slippery, and b – the view is much nicer this way."

Luffy starts walking again, his hand in Law's so the latter keeps up to his pace. He glances at Law, from the corner of his eyes and smirks a bit. "I may have forgotten to add a reason c."

The tattooed male's jaw fell open as he stared at his boyfriend with unbelieving gaze. "You kept it a secret from me!" He said with rather non character voice making Luffy once again halt in place.

"Traffy?" He put his small hand on Law's forehead. "Are you really alright? It seems like the alcohol is getting to your head."

Law shook his head and leaned forward to put a peck on the smaller male's lips. "Nah, it's alright, I want to see your surprise."

Smaller male simply sighed and once again continue their walk. Several minutes later of silence and comfort from holding their hands they reached a big building, with gold colored big letter on top of the entrance. "Skypiea?"

Luffy nodded his head in answer and without hesitation walked in through the spinning door dragging his boyfriend along. "This hotel is hosting a Christmas game this year. They have hidden Mistletoes through the floors and we will have to find them. The couple who wins gets a two day completely free stay in the luxury suite for whatever date they choose."

Needless to say Law sobered up with all the bright lights and the new bit of the information. "Are you sure they're fine with homosexual couples though? Even though some might not say it, same couples aren't welcomed at some places."

The small brunet smiled at the older man with a bit sad smile for being reminded of how humans tend to be unfair and judgmental. "Don't worry, my friend works here and she said the owner and host of the hotel is even encouraging for homosexual couples to participate."

Without Law noticing he found himself walking the stairs and climbing to the fourth floor – Luffy never trusted elevators. "Well, if you say so."

They walked through grey metal doors into the fourth floor lobby and were immediately met with by pleasant blond girl with her hair braided into two braids. She smiled gently at them. "Are you here for the Mistletoe game?" Getting an eager nod from Luffy she continued speaking. "If you could provide your ID so I could look for you in the list of the participants."

Luffy quickly rummaged through his pockets looking for his ID, after a moment he turned his hopeful eyes at Law. "Do you have it?"

Law rolled his eyes, taking out his wallet from the inner pocket of his coat and producing Luffy's ID among with his own, to the blond. "Here you go."

The short male quickly pecked Law's cheek and gripped his free left arm. "You're the best!"

Taking back the ID and nodding to the girl's wish for a good game, Trafalgar raised an eyebrow. "Just because I had your ID? Which I must remind you gave me yourself yesterday?"

Younger male tilted his head. "Did I? Either way! You're awesome!"

Law shook his head smiling. "If it's all that it takes to stay the best in your eyes you will never find anyone better."

Suddenly Luffy appeared in front of Law with serious face. "Law is the best because he's Law, not because you're awesome, it's just a bonus."

The tattooed male smiled gently bumping his forehead with Luffy's. "I know, I was only teasing."

The small body in front of his relaxed and thin arms wrapped around Law in a hug. "Alright then, I don't want you believing any nonsense."

"Alright, let's get going, shall we?"

"Yes!" Luffy linked their hands and tugged Trafalgar's to start walking.

After walking for about a minute along the corridor they found double wooden doors beyond which was a nice, red themed lounge. Across the room there were scattered couches and armchairs, all turned towards the middle of the room where big, dark wood table stood, on the table they could see some envelopes. There were five couples already there.

As the ten people turned their heads to the pair, the brunettes noticed that they were the only same sex couple there so far. Trying not to show how the curious gazes made him tense Law looked down at Luffy who as always seemed completely unaffected by other people in the room. "Where shall we sit?"

Luffy looked up, grinned widely and turned back to the room to choose a seat, completely ignoring how four of the five couples suddenly turned around feeling embarrassed for staring. The last couple was a petit woman with black wavy hair and a black dress with white lining and a bulky guy with short black hair and quite ugly mug. They didn't seem to fit but looked perfectly happy together.

As the two males sat down a badly disguised squeal reached their ears from the couple's direction. After a quick glance to his left were the couple were sitting Law saw the black haired woman blushing, hands put on her lips as she stared at him and Luffy with shinning eyes. "They're SO cute!"

Even though the girl's voice was in a whisper it was clearly heard by the couple in question and the brunettes simultaneously blushed after hearing the words. They would occasionally meet girls who would absolutely fangirl over two good looking guys being a couple. Law never really understood the delight those girls saw in it, but he was happy it wasn't hate they were receiving.

It took fifteen minutes for another ten couples to enter – among which another three were homosexual which made Law relax for not being the only such couple, Luffy as always was ignorant and happily chattered with the two girls that sat down in the love seat next to theirs. After several more minutes the same girl who they had to show their IDs to came into the room and stood by the table.

"As you all know, this year Skypiea is hosting a Christmas couple game for the first time ever. The goal of this game will be to in the time period of two hours to find ten hidden mistletoes. Each place has fifteen batches of them and we would appreciate if you were goods sports and would only take the ones belonging to you and wouldn't hide away the rest, if we come to knowledge of such things happening, the pair who did such things will be disqualified."

The blonde picked up one of the envelopes and held it up for everyone to see. "This envelope contains the map of the first four floors and keys without labels. Some of these keys open doors to staff corridors and some to conference room, which our staff would ask not to ask no matter how much the table may seem comfortable."

A chuckle went through the room as to exactly why the table might seem 'comfortable', with a small smile the staff member continued. "After the game everyone will be invited to the Christmas dinner at the first floor. The two hours start now."

Most of the couples immediately jumped up almost running to the table to grab an envelope. Luffy only turned at Law grinning widely. "Will you kiss me under every mistletoe we find?"

The tattooed male couldn't stop the chuckle as he stood up. "Of course."

Smaller brunet jumped up after him linking their arms together and quickly grabbing an envelope. After a quick shake he gave it to the taller male and watched eagerly as Law opened it. There were five keys in there all hooked up on a chain with zero labels, the keys were very different varying in sizes and shapes, one of them was so small they were convinced it was from some locker. There also were four maps each for one floor, black lines showing places they can go to and grey lines showing where weren't supposed to go.

"There's surprisingly less space to cover than I thought."

Luffy giggled and started walking out of the room. "So kind of them, right?" He pointed at a place on the first floor. "And I already know where we should go first!" He made a dramatic pause. "The cloakroom!"

Law chuckled looking down at their unbuttoned cloaks. "Yea, that does sound like a smart decision, besides it is in the black lines meaning we're allowed to go there."

Once again taking the stairs the pair got down to the first floor where quite near the staircase the cloakroom was situated. Surprisingly – at least for Luffy – it wasn't empty and there were quite a few cloaks inside.

"Huh, so it's usable? Who puts cloaks in a cloakroom when they're staying in a hotel?"

Law ruffled his boyfriend's hair. "Some people come to hotel just to visit restaurant, or to conference or something similar. You know those guys who take your coat when you come to a high class restaurant? That's where they put the coats, did you think they hide it somewhere?"

The smaller brunet pouts walking deeper into the cloakroom where there were more empty hangers. "How was I supposed to know that? And do they just leave it here? Aren't they worried someone might just come and steal them or something."

The surgeon looked down at his boyfriend with a raised eyebrow. "Cameras Luffy. There are cameras all over corridors and staff rooms to keep such things from happening."

Luffy's lips form an O before he stops in his steps and tugs Law's sleeve. "Do you also see a table with a stash of mistletoes on it?"

Law hums as he looks over said square table with the said pile of mistletoes tied in small brooms. "Yes, it seems I do. Aren't we just lucky?"

The small male looks at his boyfriend and tilts head. "You know, you no longer look tipsy. I realized it just now, how do you feel?"

Trafalgar blinked at the sudden change of subject but shrugged it off as Luffy being his usual unique self. "I feel fine. What do you say? Hang our coats, grab mistletoe and let's get out of here?"

"Sure. But you have to kiss me, you promised."

Law chuckled, leaning down. "As you wish."

Smaller male tip toes a bit and meets Law's kiss midway, grinning into it as his lover starts moving his lips sending a usual jolt of electricity through Luffy's body. "Let's find the other nine."

They quickly hang their coats, take a mistletoe, put a check near their names on the list that lies near the pile that they took theirs (and why did no one told them they will have to do that?) and went to the next best place – the restaurant.

Surprisingly, or not so surprisingly, they were not allowed to go into restaurant itself, but instead all around it and even the kitchen. Luffy, being the black hole he is, dragged Law through the quickest route to the kitchen to 'get' some food, meaning he was going to put on his best puppy dog eyes and ask for everyone to feed him, or make Law to pay for anything he eats. And surprise surprise, a waiter by the kitchen door tells them to go into staff hallway next to the kitchen where they can find another pile mistletoes.

Luffy doesn't like that he wasn't allowed into the kitchen and so he sulks all the way to the second and third floor where the pool and saunas are located. It would be all nice and pretty if they didn't waste half an hour going through entire floor only to find out there were no mistletoes there.

"I think we should visit more staff rooms and corridors, it's more likely the mistletoes are hidden where people who stay here won't see them." Law says as they search for staff staircase.

"Where are we supposed to find another eight, Traffy? And the keys?"

Trafalgar suddenly jolts in place. "The keys! We need to find the locker room here, the small key should open one of them!"

It turned out the locker room was right next to the showers, and a meter next to it there was a staff exit they had been looking for. Luckily the locker room contained only lockers and no one changed there, leaving the pair searching for the right locker. They soon find fifteen lockers, all in one line, red Christmas cards with deer and snowman sitting in sledges. Their locker if seventh and it contains one broom of mistletoe.

Luffy gets so excited he jumps in Law's arms and presses a kiss to his lips, the kiss is short but sweet and when they turn to leave the room they come face to face with the two girls Luffy had been chatting with before. Both of them are red in face and the taller one has a grin on her face. The small brunet's face also becomes red as he quickly grabs Law's hand and drags him out without saying anything to the girls. They hear them giggle as they enter the staircase.

"That was embarrassing."

Law chuckles as he scoops Luffy closer by putting his hand on his lower back and kisses him. "You? Embarrassed? Since when?"

The younger male shrugs. "It's usually someone we know who sees us, or total strangers, we only met Sarah and Jane today!"

"You do realize I didn't even knew their names until this moment, right?"

Luffy stops in mid step and looks into his boyfriend's face. "You didn't?! What were you doing when I talked with them!"

Law smirks. "I was admiring you beautiful face."

Luffy smiles and starts walking again. "Flattery will get you nowhere, you were just spacing out while finally sobering out, weren't you?"

"My version sounds better."

"Mine is more believable."

"Are you denying my love for you?" Luffy's breath hitches as Law shoves him to wall and starts nibbling small bites on his neck. "Should I prove how much I care for you?"

"Law~!"

"Yes?"

Luffy groans, but gets himself together. "We really need to go, maybe latter you can remind me how much you love me?"

"Hmph." Trafalgar seals their lips in agreement and opens the door to the fourth floor. "Fine, let's get going then."

The fourth floor is also marked as all free territory they have to check, they have four keys they don't know where to put and so they start looking for which door it might fit. After good seven minutes of needless door handle clicking they find a – ironically – broom closet which opens and inside there's just enough space for a table with a pile with three mistletoe brooms.

"It seems almost everyone took theirs from here already…"

Luffy hums in agreement, face pressed to Law's chest, still enjoying the warmth on his lips from Law's kiss. "Where do we get another six? We only have an hour left!"

Landing a small smile on the mop of black hair under his chin Law answers. "We continue checking the rooms, I think there should be at least two more mistletoes on this floor, then we go back to the pool and try looking somewhere we haven't looked before."

The pair does indeed find another two mistletoe brooms – one in a conference room and another in staff corridor. They take the corridor and a staff elevator to get on the second floor where they find another corridor with doors to staff rooms. Surprisingly the next mistletoe batch isn't in a locked room, but instead in some sort of a common room, where they staff inside get quite an eyeful when they kiss. Law can only roll his eyes when Luffy doesn't react to the workers stares and only drags his boyfriend out of the room happily chatting how they were only the third to take the plan from there.

"Can you believe it! We already have seven! Three more to go!"

Tattooed male grins infected by his lover's innocent happiness. "Yes, we have thirty seven minutes for that, although."

Luffy stops again and grins sheepishly as he thrusts the maps to Law. "Can you tell me where we are? I'm kind of lost..."

Trafalgar rolls his eyes as he takes the map his boyfriend had confiscated at the beginning at the game and declared it his property and that he shall be the guide in this adventure, it was an overly dramatic speech and Luffy's pleading eyes that made Law give the map in. Quickly finding their position he notices that up ahead them there is a black marked room, which is quite far from every other black marked place and is surrounded by big patches of grey. After sharing his suspicions with the smaller male, the two set on investigating the place.

The pair find a locked boiler room there to which door their last key accidentally fits perfectly. The inside is damp and dark, but there's a lamp put on a table with mistletoes. They take theirs and may or may not linger in the room longer than needed because they may or may not have gotten 'distracted' while Law was fulfilling his promise.

With two more mistletoes to find the pair gets down to first floor where the must find the last two. It appeared that the staircase led net to the kitchen which they once again they were unable to enter instead Law choosing to walk back to lobby where they started everything by the long route around restaurant they haven't walked before hoping to find mistletoes there.

Luck seemingly wasn't at their side as they reached the lobby where registry with its high ceiling Christmas tree stood.

"There's seven minutes left."

Luffy pouted and leaned on Law. "I know, this sucks, we really did walk around everywhere, where have we missed two mistletoe points?" They stood like that for some time, until Luffy elbowed Law into ribs. "Traffy?" The tattooed male grunted in response, too occupied by nuzzling his nose in his boyfriend's short hair. "There are mistletoes on the ceiling."

"You want a kiss because we're standing under one?"

The smaller male chuckled. "Nah, we managed no to stand under one, but it got me thinking, maybe we had to get some from here?"

Law glanced up at and just like Luffy had said there were countless small brooms – just like theirs - of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. "I doubt it, how are we supposed to take it from there? Besides, all points at which we took the plant had them put in one, easily accessible pile."

The other brunet wiggles his way out of Law's arms and after sending a small smirk towards his lower he skips away to the registry where after a short conversation he returns with a Cheshire cat grin and two mistletoe brooms in hands. "Told you so!"

The tall male raises his eyebrows confused. "What?"

Luffy raises the two mistletoes and add them to them to the batch they had already collected. "That was also a checkpoint! You just need to approach the registry and ask about the mistletoes in the ceiling and she gave me two of them and wished a nice game! We're finally finished!"

When four minutes later the two enter the room game had started in only six more couples are sitting inside, chatting between themselves quietly, batches – all smaller than theirs – put on the table by their teams name – basically just the names of the pair. Luffy undertakes the tiring job of putting the batch on the table and returns to where Law is sitting immediately, burying his cheek in the bigger chest, sighing with content.

"Do you think they will give us food soon?"

Law chuckled, slowly brushing his fingers through his lover's hair. "Yes, soon the rest of the couples will be back, they will tell us the results and we will go to eat the promised dinner."

Five minutes later Luffy had dozed off in his beloved's lap, missing how the rest of the couples came back and how the hushed conversations were dropped once the blond girl from the beginning walked in. he missed how everybody clapped for the winners of third place who collected seven mistletoes – and who won a decent sized box filled with candy – or how everyone clapped for the second place winners who managed to get eight mistletoes – and won a free day in the pool on the second floor. Luffy didn't even wake up when he and Law were announced as the winners because they found all of the mistletoes.

He did wake up when the invitation to dinner was once again repeated. Rubbing his eyes and sweetly yawning he walked with Law and the rest of the couples to the first floor he asked a question. "So who won?"

Law chuckled as he pecked Luffy's forehead. "We did. You were the only one so brilliant to ask about the mistletoes on the ceiling in the lobby."

Luffy poked his tongue at Law and grinned. "So how was my surprise?"

The taller man nuzzled his boyfriend's cheek with his nose and put a small kiss when he pulled back. "I love it."

A.N. I think midway this I changed my writing style… I'm sorry if there's a major jumping point there… I hope you enjoyed this! ^-^
