AN/ I haven't seen too many DofLaw fanfictions, and I really ship this couple so I decided to make this story my first story here on this site. I hope that now, after the Dressrosa Arc has ended in manga (and is near to ending in anime), more people will write fictions about them. But yeah, here is my story about Doflamingo and Law, hope you like it. Reviews are very welcome, and constructive criticism is something I'd like to get since I believe it's the best kick in the pants for writers who still have lots to learn xD English isn't my native language, but I'll try to proofread and correct any mistakes I notice myself. So forgive me if there are grammar errors, and feel free to point them out. I'd be more than glad to correct them. Okay, I've blabbered enough already. Enjoy the story ! :)

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, because if I did, it would be full of gay couples fucking each other all day long. xD

"Oi, happy birthday Tra-guy." A raven haired boy with an iditotic grin on his lips said, waving his hand in front of Trafalgar Law's face. Law turned to face his friend and ruffled through his just as equally black hair somewhat distantly. He hadn't expected for someone to remember his birthday since he never made a number of it, and hearing someone congratulate him made him feel weird, uneasy. But somewhere deep down he was happy about having friends like Luffy.

Law's yellow eyes squinted when he flashed back a quick smile and answered:

"Thanks Luffy. You skipped school again today." There was a tiny bit of reproof in his voice, even though he knew that no words could get his friend to understand the importance of school anyways. He was, however, often scolding Luffy for skipping lessons together with Nami, Luffy's girlfriend. Though compared to Law, Nami was more frantic about Luffy's half-assed attitude towards studying. She was always screaming her lungs out till exhaustion, and sometimes even used lightweight violence to point out her concern. Not like it made any difference though.

"Hey, I'm here now am I not?" Luffy asked with another idiotic grin occupying his lips.

"Yeah, well done showing your face here now when school is already over." Law answered, rolling his eyes in a tired manner. He sometimes wondered why the ridiculously goofy friend of his had wanted to attended high school, or how he had even managed to pass the entrance exams in the first place. Luffy wasn't stupid, as a matter of fact, he could pull good numbers if he just studied. The problem was that the boy wasn't particularly interested in studying. So why bother enrolling?

As soon as Law saw a glimpse of a long, wavy, orange hair behind Luffy, he though: 'Yeah, that's probably the reason' Law's lips curled into a gloat smile, and just when Luffy's face was overtaken by confusion, the orange haired girl whacked the back of Luffy's head.

"Where were you?!" Nami roared like a wild cat, repeatedly hitting Luffy's head as her boyfriend put his hands to the back of his head for cover.

"Ow!" The raven haired boy screamed, probably more because he was startled. Nami never hit him hard enough for the bonehead to feel pain.

"You weren't attending any of the classes today! How dare you take things so lightly! Haven't I told you to-" Nami's hand stopped in mid-air as her eyes fell upon Law. Her eyes switched from squinted in anger to curved in smile as she wrapper her hands around Law's neck.

"Happy birthday Law!" She chirped in a totally different tone, apparently forgetting her anger towards her boyfriend. Once again, Law shifted in discomfort, a light red coloring his cheeks. Another friend of his had remembered his birthday and made him uneasy, as well as happy. He wasn't sure which way he felt more, so he decided to stick to the midway.

"Thanks Na-" Law's speech was interrupted by another voice behind him.

"Congrats Law, now we can go drinking together sometime." Law was aware of this voice belonging to his best friend, Sanji. And soon enough the yellow haired cook was standing in his view, together with a shy, cute brunette boy.

"Happy birthday..." Chopper managed to congratulate him quietly. He was as cute and unsure as always, smiling his nervous smile.

"Thanks you two." Law had now rehearsed receiving congratulations two times already so he could already answer without forcing himself to smile. One reason might as well have been the fact that he was so used to Sanji crossing his comfort-boundaries that he didn't even mind him anymore. He usually let Sanji's actions slip past his consciousness since there was no use in telling the cook to stop. Sanji always did and said what he wanted. That was probably one of the reasons why he was Law's best friend.

"Hey, not fair! Why am I not invited to your drinking party?!" Luffy yelled, pouting, and was immediately rewarded by a hit in the back of his head. Nami seemingly remembered her anger as she was now glaring at Luffy like she wanted to beat him to death. She was a very scary girl when she wanted to be.

"Because you're still underage you idiot! And coming back to your idiocy and the fact that you skipped school again today... Let it be the last time!" Nami yelled and Luffy crouched into a ball to protect himself from his girlfriends whacks.

"Ow ow, I'm sor- OW! Stop hitting me please!"

Law laughed alongside with Sanji as they followed the couple argue. It was always like this, and it was always just as funny. It belonged to their daily routine to watch Nami whack Luffy's head for reason or another, mostly because Luffy skipped classes and didn't really take his studies seriously. Later Nami would calm down and they would make up, and in the end they always ended up being all lovey-dovey. Their arguments always repeated the same pattern, so there was no reason to get worried about them breaking up or anything. It was just their way of showing their love to each other.

Law was kind of envious of them. Having someone to argue with, to make up with and then act all lovey-dovey with... Law wanted to know what it felt like, having someone special whom you loved and who loved you back. It seemed very enjoyable to him, not including the violence.

"Hey, Law." Sanji's voice pulled the dark haired boy from his thoughts and back to planet earth. Law turned to look at Sanji questioningly, and saw the cook was smirking and pointing with his finger over Law's shoulder. Law turned around to see a black, new Lamborghini, surrounded by photographing students, outside the school gates.

Law's heart stopped and his eyes widened as he immediately realized who the Lamborghini belonged to. For a while he even forgot how to breath. Sanji's smirk grew even wider when he saw Law's reaction, and he cursed himself in his mind for not taking his phone to school today. This would have made a good picture to his "Stupefied Law" collection.

"Seems like your sugar daddy came to pick you up for your birthday." Sanji's mouth was suddenly very close to Law's ear, and that breath sent cold shivers running through Law's back, all the way from the dark haired boy's neck to the lowest part of his spine. He turned around with a light red face, his expression full of embarrassment and irritation.

"Fuck you. Take that back." Law hissed from between his gritted teeth, seemingly shocked and disturbed by Sanji's nickname to that person. He tried to glare at his friend as angrily as possible, but the colour of embarrasment ruined all his efforts. He had been caught off guard since he had expected for Vergo to pick him up like always. And instead that person had came.

Sanji laughed from the bottom of his lungs. His voice was so loud that their friends, who hadn't been paying attention to them before, were now staring at them curiously. They all seemed interested in the "good joke" they had missed.

"Yeah yeah, he took you, literally, under his pink wings after you became an orphan and is your family blah blah blah. Sorry, you're just way too cute for your own good so I can't help but tease you." Sanji said, trying to maintain his composure. It was clearly noticeable that he was holding back laughter, since he wasn't one who could hide his emotions too well. And that irritated Law to the point of growling at his cook friend. Their friends were still staring at the two of them with question marks visible above their heads.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Your beloved person is waiting for you." Sanji said, and just barely dodged the hard hit aimed at his ribs. His body arched from laughter which reminded more and more howling by now. Law couldn't even put his irritation into words anymore. If Sanji hadn't been equal with him when it came to fighting, he would have already strangled the cook until unconsciousness. Sometimes Sanji took life-threatening risks when it came to his boundary-crossing. He was too playful for his own good, and one day Law would definitely remind him about that... With his fists.

Sanji could probably sense that he had went overboard with his jokes because he quickly blurted a more sincere apology.

"Sorry, it's just that I can't help but want to see you blush since you're always so indifferent when I try to tease you about anything else." In addition to his words, Sanji pinched Law's cheek like parents did to small children. "I'm really sorry, okay?" Before Law could answer, a loud, demanding voice washed over the whole school yard.

"Law!"

Sanji jolted, and withdrew his hand quickly. There was an emotion similar to fright in his eyes, or at least that's what Law thought he saw. Law jolted as well, but he was so used to this overwhelmingly commanding voice that he didn't feel fear. Not anymore. He was only surprised, both by the sudden call of his name and by the fright that showed on Sanji's face. Why was he so startled when it was Law who was being called out to? Well he kind of knew the reason already. There was probably no man on earth who wasn't afraid of that person. Law admitted that above all respect and admiration he felt towards his savior, the fear was the strongest feeling.

Because Law knew that person very well, he turned around as soon as he was sure the red had left his face and he could maintain his poker face. He didn't dare to make the man wait, for he knew what happened what that person did to those whose actions didn't satisfy him.

The hot pink colour immediately stood out from the background. It was the feather coat which lied on the shoulders of the even more outstanding figure who was leaning to the Lamborghini. An inhumanly tall and muscular person who had drawn the attention of and silenced the whole school yard. And that person was bending his finger in an inviting manner as he looked Law with a smug smile on his lips. A smile that rarely left those lips, and was so wide that it seemed like it would one day rip that face in half. That stunning face that charmed many women despite the eyes being always hidden behind purple sunglasses.

Law gulped as he started to make his way over to the blond man, trying to cool his head and shake off his thoughts about the man's body. That ah so muscular and tanned body which -against his free will- intrigued Law dangerously much. The perfect, broad chest was bare since it's owner pretty much never bothered to button his shirt "It's easier to undress when you don't wear too much clothes." The man had once told Law, and the thought of those clothes leaving that body made Law's mouth dry.

`Shut up imagination.ยด Law shook his head once again, setting his eyes on the students who swarmed about the Lamborghini and it's owner. The girls were more or less drooling at the sight of the stunning being. The same being who was the reason Law had to cool his head for once. Letting his eyes and thoughts wander freely on Donquixote Doflamingo, the most influential underworld figure in Japan, would bring nothing but troubles upon him.

Law appreciated the fact that Doflamingo never asked him about his behavior with Sanji. Even though the man had showed no acknowledgement of it, Law was sure that Doflamingo had noticed his reddened face when he had got in the car. Instead of talking about it, Law would have wanted to hear a congratulation from Doflamingo. He had even waited for it.

Every year, on this very same day, Doflamingo would wish Law happy birthday. The man would never buy presents nor arrange parties. Law had told him how he hated to be in the center of parties, and said that he needed no gifts. Not like the man would have arranged either of them even if Law had liked them. Doflamingo wasn't a man who wanted to see Law happy. That much Law had figured out during all these years. Doflamingo enjoyed seeing Law hurt, sad and vulnerable, and that was the reason why Law had built himself an arrogant attitude. He wouldn't voluntarily give Doflamingo the delightful sight of him in a vulnerable state.

Even still, knowing what a cruel man Doflamingo was, the only thing Law wanted every year on this particular day, was for Doflamingo to tell him happy birthday. Today it seemed that for the first time in all years they had known each other, Doflamingo had forgotten his birthday. And it was the most important birthday of them all too. Or at least it was very important to Law. Today he was officially an adult.

Law was fidgeting on his seat, nervously gazing at the buildings that passed by. In addition to forgetting Law's birthday, Doflamingo was awfully quiet during their way. Usually the man would tease Law about how childish he looked in his school uniform or how he had forgotten to comb his hair. Not like he particularly forgot to comb it though. He just didn't feel like doing it since he ruffled his hands through his hair so many times a day that combing it was futile.

They had almost reached Dressrosa by now - the headquarters/mansion of Donquixote yakuza family- but Doflamingo still remained silent. Law tried to think of something to say, but he couldn't come up with anything that didn't sound forced so he decided to not cut off the silence. He didn't want Doflamingo to think that he was bothered by the silence, (or the fact that his birthday had been forgotten) since he knew that would just give the older man a reason to tease him. Law could already hear in his head what Doflamingo would have said if Law had blurted out something forced to start a conversation. "Oh, do you love my voice so much that you can't bear not hearing it, Law?" Law definitely wouldn't give Doflamingo the pleasure of fostering the man's ego. It was already the size of a country, and there was no need to feed it any more.

Law secretly glanced at Doflamingo's face when he though the man wasn't watching. He reassured himself he was only looking at the man because he wanted to find any signs that could tell why he was so silent. That was partially true too, but actually he was just too proud to admit to himself he wanted to gaze at Doflamingo's features. The strong jawline was probably the most impressive part of that face. It dominated over most of his other facial features, and was the reason so many women (and men) found his face so attracting. Or intimidating. Depended on what side you were. It was also the mark of a powerful man, having such a strong jaw- A wide smile affected the position of that abovesaid feature, and Law's eyes widened in realization. 'He noticed. Fuck.'

Doflamingo turned to face Law, and his smug smile curved even more, until it felt like the corners of the man's mouth had reached his eyes. 'Fuckfuckfuckfuck' Law thought to himself. He was embarrassed for being found out staring at Doflamingo's face, but he knew that turning his eyes away now would only make it worse. So he proudly lifted up his jaw and stared at the man straight into his eyes... Or well, the purple lenses of his sunglasses. This seemed to amuse Doflamingo even more. He found Law's pretentiously cocky attitude funny, and so he laughed.

"Fuffuffuffuffu. If you wanted to stare at my face you should have just said so. Should I come closer so you can get a better view of it?" Doflamingo asked mockingly and Law quickly backed a bit before Doflamingo could execute his threat. Then he noticed that Doflamingo's hands weren't on the wheel anymore, and by looking at his surroundings, he could tell that they were in the garage of Dressrosa.

"No need to, I just saw a rare glimpse of you not wearing that egoistic smile of yours and decided to remember it." Law answered cockily and then got out of the car, not staying behind to hear and see the even more amused laughter of Doflamingo. His fingers trembled slightly as he picked a cigarette from his pack, and placed it between his lips. He even had to flick the lighter a few times before he managed to light his cigarette. He managed to inhale and exhale the nicotine once before Doflamingo got out of the car, still chuckling quietly.

"You're all bark and no bite. You know that, Law?" Doflamingo spoke with the amused grin never leaving his lips, and the way Law's name was articulated didn't please the young boy. It sounded like he was being despised.

Law stared at the older man with squinted eyes, wondering how the two of them ever even got along. Judging by this conversation, they more like hated each other than acted like a family. Well, it was just their way of communicating. Law was far too proud to let Doflamingo's teases go unnoticed and unanswered, while Doflamingo's favourite thing was to agitate the young boy as much as he could. Even so their relationship was pretty good.

"Yeah, and what's that supposed to mean, Doflamingo?" Law asked, pronouncing the name in an irritated manner, inhaling the nicotine smoke deeply before he blew it towards the older man's face.. The realization hit him as soon as Doflamingo's eyes squinted and smile decreased slightly. Law's body froze as he realized what he had done, and his eyes shot to study on the older man's face. Doflamingo's face didn't seem exactly angry, except for the vein that seemed to almost burst on his forehead. The voice, however, was dangerously threatening. The kind the man used to speak to his opponents before starting their torture.

"Put it out."

The effect of that command was instant. Law immediately let go of his cigarette -or more like his body was so frightened that his fingers let go on their own- and let it drop to the ground. He stepped on it before turning around and hurrying towards the front door.

"I'm sorry." Law muttered timidly, just loudly enough for his words to reach Doflamingo's ears. He knew that Doflamingo didn't like the fact he smoked, but he knew that blowing the smoke to Doflamingo's face wasn't enough to be a reason for the man to become so fearsome. Pronouncing Doflamingo's name in such a disparaging manner, on the other hand, was something that some people had even died for doing before. There was one thing in the world that Doflamingo hated more than anything, and it was being looked down upon. He was of royal blood, and from his own viewpoint, above everyone else. Compared to him, other people, even Law and the rest of his yakuza family, were lowly humans next to a god.

Law was too tensed to turn around and confront Doflamingo. He knew the boundaries and had learned -through the hard way- that if you value your life, you should never cross them. Doflamingo was a man you didn't want to anger. There was no such a person who wasn't afraid of the Donquixote family's head, and if one existed, that person was stupid and self-destructive.

"Law." Doflamingo's voice was low and demanding as it reached Law's ears. The dark haired boy froze, his hand on the door knob. Shivers ran through his whole body as he closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to hit him. His whole body trembled as he awaited for his punishment. Doflamingo wasn't someone who would forgive you when apologized to. Doflamingo would only forgive you when you atoned your sins, and by atoning I mean getting beaten up. Only after you had felt enough pain to his liking, he would be content and let you continue your life normally. Until then, your life could be made into a living hell.

A sweat drop ran on Law's forehead as he waited for the hit to come.

"We will talk later."

Law's eyes opened wide as he heard Doflamingo's words echo through the walls of garage. The voice was inscrutable, and Law couldn't build up the courage to turn around an see what kind of expression Doflamingo was wearing. He had awaited for a punishment of his wrong-doing, but to hear that Doflamingo let it slip just like this... No, he would definitely receive a punishment later, but why did Doflamingo postpone it? This was unheard-of.

Law's head filled with puzzled thoughts, but he was wise enough to nod visibly, as if in agreement, before he opened the door which he was holding onto all this time. And what was behind that door was something that got him taken by surprise, even more now that he was already confused about Doflamingo's actions.

"Happy birthday Law!" All the Donquixote officers caroled in unison.
