Part II

Ink and pin pricks

Since their initial outting Luffy and Law had made one day every week to hang out. It had been more Luffy's idea, but Law went along with it knowing he'd get some benefit out of it. He casually sipped from the bottle of bourbon that sat between the two of them while watching Luffy bounce excitedly about some programme over sea kings*. This was a more laid back evening since both had amassed quite a bit of homework for the week and the last two times out had resulted in Law threatening people. Luffy had been none the wiser since Law's subtle methods of warning were much more effective than flashy ones. He smirked inwardly remembering the look of sheer terror on the last man's face. Law had been positively gleeful when he'd grabbed the wrist of the guy trying to drop something questionable into Luffy's drink. The feeling of the bones pushing together under his fingers had been so satisfying. Only a little more pressure and Law could have easily snapped his wrist. The guy knew it too. Luffy had reappeared blissfully unaware to the situation. Law had merely bid the man a falsely polite farewell. Because of that, he'd deemed it wiser to stay in this week.

Between their two relaxed forms boxes of noodles, rice, and other entrees were scattered about. Luffy was happily attacking the one in his lap with gusto. Law had been more languid about his own meal, delicately picking up pieces of the meat with his chopsticks and savoring the flavor all while observing his roommate from the corner of his eye. Luffy was fascinating to watch. His eyes never left the screen as he reached for items from all the boxes with his chopsticks never once spilling a bit. Law chuckled in amusement. His hand shot out and snatched Luffy's hand as the other tried to steal from his box.

"Maa maa mister straw hat, it's rude to steal you know." He smirked. "I'll have to start charging you if this keeps up." He murmured suggestively.

Luffy looked down where Law's fingers were curled over his hand. He'd known that the other was aware of him snatching food, but he figured it never hurt to try. His hand felt warm and tingly from the other's loose hold. He was about to comment when Law merely dropped his hand leaving his box of food open to Luffy. He recognized the sign that it was okay and happily sampled his roommate's dish. Law merely went back to nursing the bottle of bourbon. When it was offered to him Luffy at first refused, honestly a little bit intimidated by hard liquor. The smell was pleasant and Luffy found himself curious, so when it was offered to him the second time he cautiously accepted. The taste was spicy with a hint of syrupy cherry. Luffy grimaced as it burned his throat. Law laughed a bit at the expression he made. Luffy tried again, this time it went down more smoothly with only a slight burn. As he passed it back Law their fingers brushed together causing the same brief little spark as before. The rest of the meal was spent passing the bottle back and forth.

Law had never been one to share his stash and definitely not in such and intimate and unsanitary way. However, Luffy had made it a point to invade his personal space on a daily basis so he figured at that point mouth to mouth contact through the bottle was not so farfetched. He could tell Luffy was not used to drinking hard liquor as the other was swaying back and forth in place while constantly letting out giggles. Law continued to observe the other while sliding his notebook closer and working on his lab practical.

Luffy was hyper aware of Law's proximity to him. The rough texture of his jeans felt nice against his leg. His attention to the sea king documentary was long dropped as he watched the quick and precise movements of Law's hand as he drew, shaded and labeled all the parts in the hand. It was then that Luffy noticed the medical tape on Law's thumb and one of his fingers. Suddenly he reached out and grabbed Law's hand stopping him from his task. He looked down mildly irritated. It faded to curiousity as he watched Luffy bring his hand up and kiss both bandages.

"When did you get cut?" He asked with a light slur.

Law chuckled softly. "It's just the rest of my tattoo healing." He took his hand back and removed the wrapping showing his now complete 'DEATH' tattoo* spanning his each of his fingers. "See?"

Luffy gazed at the stark black against Law's tanned skin. The area around the letters of the most recent inking was red and slightly puffy. "Does it hurt?" He asked with innocent wonderment.

"Any body-modding will hurt a little bit. How much is just based on your own tolerance." Law wiggled his fingers the pricks of pain giving him a slight heady feeling. "It can be addicting though as well."

Luffy nodded and seemed to be studying Law's tattoos with renewed interest. "When did you get them done?"

"I did these myself." He said while grabbing an unopened bottle of liquor from behind him.

Luffy's attention turned back to the screen. A slightly different smell hit his nose as heard the sound of the bottle being opened. He turned back again watching his roommate take a languid drink from the bottle seemingly unfazed. His hand returned back to the diagram as he set the bottle down within Luffy's range. He secretly watched as the younger boy grabbed the bottle curiously and took a sip. His whole face screwed up as he drank.

"I suppose you need a chaser for this one. Not many people like it straight like I do." He remarked.

"What is it?" Luffy sniffed while handing it back.

"Dry Gin." He got up and sifted around in the small fridge on his side of the room. "I'll make you something that will make it a little more smooth."

Luffy's attention fell back to the screen while listening to Law mix something up. Luffy felt strange. His head felt heavy and his skin was warm and tingly. It felt different from the drunk he got from the sake or ale that he normally had around Zoro. He smiled widely and his head lolled to the side as a citrusy smelling drink was put in front of him. This time the liquid went down smoothly. Luffy licked his lips enjoying the flavor. Law grinned to himself and made another one up and set it on the small table housing Luffy's fishtank. He joined Luffy on the floor again and picked up his notebook again. He listened as Luffy blathered on. The other he'd found out loved to talk while intoxicated. It was sneaky, but the easiest way to find out things about his roommate. And Law was surprised to know that he hadn't even come close to getting bored.

An hour or so later found Luffy thoroughly trashed and leaning back against Law as he read. The other's back was warm and inviting and Luffy couldn't help but snuggle down against the texture of his hoodie. He relaxed as he listened to Law's heartbeat. It reminded him of when he was young and Ace used to read to him. He was happy and lost in the moment.

"Naa...Law...will you make me a tattoo?" He asked sleepily.

Law's back went rigid at the request. He felt the corners of his mouth pull into a smile at the request. Law had never felt such a great anticipation before. Nor had he ever had the desire to work on another person like this. His body thrummed in excitement at the idea. Working on Luffy was going to be fun. He hoped the odd boy remembered the request when he sobered up. Ideas were already spinning in his imagination of what and where. He calmed his whirling mind as he felt the rhythmic puffs of air denote Luffy's state. He sighed and adjusted his body so that Luffy's head fell on his leg. More often times than not, their time ended like this, Luffy drinking himself to sleep.

The rest of Luffy's week went by quickly and he found himself reclining on Zoro's bed as the two waited for their pizza to be delivered. Luffy smiled as he watched Zoro doing crunches in the middle of the floor. It was always like this with them though. They'd get food then go off and spend all the energy they'd amassed through some physical activity then maybe come back and drink themselves stupid. Although, Luffy never seemed to see Zoro get to that state, it was still loads of fun.

"I don't like that guy." Zoro had uttered between crunches.

"Who?"

"Your damned roommate." Zoro stopped and just lay flat staring at his best friend. "He creeps me the fuck out. And I just don't trust him."

"Why?" Luffy asked swinging his legs. "Law's really nice. He takes one day out a week to hang out with me and just kinda show me around." Luffy grinned.

"I don't know. Just something about him is off." Zoro sighed. "It's just a gut feeling." He sat up and turned fully to him. "I mean, what do you do when you guys go out?"

"Mostly we get dinner then sometimes go to different lounges. He taught me how to play pool." Luffy shrugged.

Zoro sighed exasperatedly. Luffy was so naive and he didn't want to hurt the other's feelings, but he was worried about him. Luffy had always been way to trusting of people and he hadn't like Law from day one. He was uncomfortable with the idea of how close Luffy was with the other. Normally he wouldn't have cared since Luffy could normally handle himself, but this guy was another story completely. He immediately made Zoro's hackles rise. He didn't know if it was the false politeness or the self assured smirk that did it, but he knew that it made him uneasy.

"Shhi shi shi...Zoro's just being weird." Luffy tittered while grinning widely.

The conversation was forgotten as the dorm's den den mushi* sounded letting them know their pizza was ready. Quickly Zoro pulled a shirt and his boots on and the two left. Luffy chattered excitedly as they flew down the stairs. He beat Zoro by one step. Once the pizza was paid for the two shot off to go enjoy their pizza with the nice weather. The two sprawled out on the green next to the campus commons the pizza boxes sitting between the them. Luffy waved at people passing them between bites smiling when someone responded. Zoro sighed at the other's antics and smirked. Luffy was so easy to make friends that even the strangers that eyed them with distaste couldn't help but respond positively to Luffy's sincere, sunny personality. That brought back the thought of Luffy's roommate. He didn't trust the guy at all. He knew that Luffy thought highly of him, but he was not going to let Luffy's skewed judgement of people get him hurt or worse.

"Law's going to make me a tattoo." Luffy stated out of the blue.

Zoro nearly choked on his bite of pizza at the announcement. "Why and what possessed you to do that?"

Luffy shrugged and chewed thoughtfully. "I dunno. I like his. I think they look good on him. I guess I just wondered what it'd look like on me."

"Isn't that kinda permanent to just see?" Zoro wondered idly. "Besides, why would you have someone you don't really know design it for you?"

Luffy smiled. "He knows enough I think." He reached for another piece unaware of the soft frown Zoro was giving him.

A few hours later clouds had started to roll in effectively thwarting their plans to stay out and spar. Zoro nudged Luffy's snoozing form with the toe of his boot. Luffy mumbled and stretched in response before cracking an eye open. He yawned and sat up trying to work the rest of the post-nap effects from his system. He frowned when a rain drop hit his cheek.

"Oi Luffy, we're going to have to cut it short today." Zoro grumbled as he stood up.

"Yea, yea." Luffy voiced his agreement not really wanting to get wet. "Same time tomorrow?"

Zoro nodded his consent and the two trekked back to their residence hall. They almost made it back before the rain hit. Luckily the heavier shower didn't start until they were well inside. Luffy bid Zoro goodbye at the entrance to the second floor and then continued on to his own room. His eyes widened in shock as he entered his room. Law was sitting shirtless on that weird chair with rubber gloves on. Luffy coughed as he walked further in. Law's eyes narrowed and darted to him, but then slowly his defense went down.

"Hmm. I thought you would be gone a little longer."

Luffy couldn't say anything. He just kept staring at the other with a curious fascination. His roommate had beautiful coppery skin. He didn't understand why he kept it hidden in long sleeves and hoodies. Luffy sighed in wonderment. Law's stomach was perfectly taut and was adorned with a tattoo stretching over his side and hip. Luffy stepped a little closer just so he could read what it said. 'Pain is how we know we live.' was scrawled in a bold print followed by a scalpel. He found the ink fitting to the other. When his eyes moved back up he noticed that Law had paused in whatever he was doing and was gazing at Luffy in amusement.

"You know, I'm not used to people watching me do this." Law stated matter-of-factly. "But since you're here, you might as well help me."

Luffy nodded his tongue still stuck. Finally he shook out of his stupor. "What are you doing anyway?"

"Piercing. I've been meaning to do this for a while." Law said as he grabbed an ice cube and ran it over his nipple. Luffy watched as it peaked under the cold. "I'll just get you to hand me things as I need them."

"Does it hurt?" He asked while Law pulled on the iced bud and slid the clamp in place on it.

"Depends." Law answered while swabbing the area with an antiseptic wipe. "Unwrap the needle that says 14g and give it to me. Please don't touch the pointed end either."

Luffy did as was asked and with a surprising amount of anticipation on seeing the act. The needle glinted off the flourescent light from Law's desk lamp as he inspected it. Luffy felt his skin prickle a little in excitement. Law hissed as the needle slid through his skin. Pain charged his system for a second followed by the heady pleasure that came from modding. He felt blood trailing down his side as he removed the clamp. He closed his eyes the dizzying feeling adding to his enjoyment. He could feel Luffy's curious gaze on him, and somehow it made him feel warm and even a little bothered. Luffy was surprised when he'd seen the twinge of discomfort in his roommate's face change to relaxation. He didn't understand fully, but when Law had opened his eyes again, there was an undeniable heat in them. Even Luffy in all his obliviousness could tell that the other had been at least a little pleased.

"Hand me that ring." Law murmured. His voice had become breathy and Luffy found it sent a small tingle down his spine. "While I'm doing this can you grab one of those candies off my desk?"

Luffy nodded while handing him the silver hoop. "What's the candy for?" He asked as he moved to the small jar on Law's desk.

Law hissed again as the needle slid out and the ring was put in its place. "You bleed and get dizzy. The candy is just a quick way to keep you from getting nauseous."

Law sighed quietly as he wiped the blood with a wet towel. When he was done with that he grabbed the saline cleaning solution and put some on a cotton swab. His eyes rolled back as he dabbed the remaining blood up. The cool feeling of the solution was intensified by the sensitivity in his newly pierced nipple. When he was done he opened his eyes and for the briefest second gave Luffy a very sexually charged look. He knew the other wouldn't quite understand, but it would make him think. He smiled then very softly and eyed the candy in Luffy's hand.

"Um...is the orange one okay?" Luffy stuttered surprised by how curious he'd become about his roommate.

Law nodded slightly, slid his gloves off, and then held his hand out for it. "Mandarin is my favorite flavor." he husked amused at the small blush creeping over Luffy's face.

He made a show of enjoying the candy too. Slowly unwrapping it and the licking it before popping it in his mouth. He could tell his roommate was getting uncomfortable with it as much as he was curious. That's what spurred him on, watching the innocent attention slowly crack away into something more mature. Luffy turned his head and was about to step away when Law caught his wrist. His eyes widened.

"Want a taste?"

"Wha-?" Luffy turned back.

"Fuck it."

Law's post-pierce high had him entertaining ideas not in his original plans. Be flirtatious yes, but this act might scare the boy off. Somewhere in his pleasure addled brain though, he couldn't seem to care. His hand slid up and rested on Luffy's cheek. The boy had yet to pull away though. His eyes were apprehensive, but also were looking him straight in the face. This was a good sign. No fear, but slight defiance. Law's thumb slid along the jaw line seemingly mapping out the contours of Luffy's boyish face. Luffy's lids lowered as he gazed at the hand on his cheek. It wasn't unpleasant he decided. His fingers were warm and calloused. When Law's hand moved to the back of his neck he started. It was a foreign feeling, but a tingling heat spread from where the fingertips were just brushing over the hairs at the base of his head. He gasped slightly and that was when Law tugged him forward and their lips met. It was soft and Luffy was a bit unsure. He hadn't expected his first real kiss to be like this. Law's lips were moist and a little bit sticky from the candy, but Luffy decided that it wasn't in the least bit unpleasant. Law continued playing with that spot to get Luffy to relax. When he sighed in slight contentment that's when Law pressed a little further. His tongue swept out against Luffy's lips testing just a little. He received no resistance, in fact Luffy opened up slightly allowing his tongue entrance. The boy was inexperienced, but that had Law anticipating more happenings like this as Luffy's tongue shyly brushed against his. His tongue pulled back coaxing Luffy to become more confident in the movement, and then he retreated.

They parted for a brief moment. "Law tastes good." Luffy murmured.

"Thank you. I've been told a kiss makes it all better." Law tilted his head a smile in his eyes.

"Does Law feel better?" Luffy blushed realizing that Law had purposely ignored his previous embarassing statement.

"Yes I do actually. Thank you for giving me your first kiss." He smirked while rustling Luffy's hair.

"How did you know?" He asked eyes widened. "Was it that bad?"

Law laughed this time highly amused at Luffy's sudden insecurity. "No. It was beautifully performed. In fact, with some practice I'm sure you'll be a regular tease." He let Luffy go and turned to get out of the chair his head still spinning slightly.

"Do I have to practice? I liked kissing Law." He stated.

"Sure." That had definitely gone different than Law expected. Immediately a plan started to form in his head. "Tell you what, on our weekly set aside night, you can practice as much as you want."

Luffy had never been one to care about the norms of society. In fact he'd never really thought about relationships or the idea of liking someone. Sure he'd gone to a few dances with Nami as his date. He'd always thought she was pretty, but he never had Liked-liked her. She was his best friend and that was that. Conversely he'd always thought Zoro was handsome. A different kind than his brother, more rough, but still just a good looking. But again he'd never felt any sort of pull other than friendship toward him. This was different. His roommate was decidedly dashing. Somewhere between Zoro's rough looks and his brother's pretty looks. Luffy had noticed the attraction only a couple weeks into the semestre, but hadn't been able to identify it until he'd walked in on the other preparing to pierce himself. He felt nervous and twittery around Law, but at the same time comfortable. Sometimes the air was companionable and relaxed, and other times Luffy was nervous. He was sure that his roommate at least liked his company or they wouldn't be hanging out regularly. He liked Law. And while the other knew a lot about him, he'd yet to find anything groundbreaking out. He was at least a little bit in tune with the other he thought. He knew Law was a premed student and that he wanted to focus in reconstructive surgery. He knew that Law liked pretty much anything scientific and really loved studying the human body. It was all superficial stuff though.

"Ace could help me." Luffy smiled thinking about his brother while dialing him up.

"Yo." came the familiar voice that had Luffy grinning.

"Ace!"

"Hey! How's my favorite little brother? Staying out of trouble?" Ace's voice had a smile and Luffy could tell.

"Mostly. How's Ace doing?"

"Good good." Ace grinned used to Luffy's way of referring to people in third person. He found it endearing when it was used. "So this is earlier than your normal call, I'm assuming you need some advice."

"Yup! Ace is so smart." Luffy grinned again knowing his brother would be able to help. "I think I might like-Like someone, but I dunno."

Ace smirked on the other end wondering when the day came that Luffy would find someone. "Oh? Tell me about them."

"Well, he-" Luffy was interrupted by a choke from Ace. "you okay?"

"It's a guy?" Ace sighed worried for his little brother, but not wanting to discourage him.

"Is that bad?" Luffy asked timidly.

"No! no no. It's just a little tougher to date a guy." Ace knew from what he and Marco went through and he didn't want Luffy to ever suffer, but he wasn't going to staunch his efforts. "It's not really considered normal, so some people get offended. I guess though since where you're at has more forward thinking, it wouldn't be too much of a problem."

"Well we're not dating. We only kissed." Luffy said as if it was the most normal thing in the world. "I liked kissing Law."

Ace groaned. "You're not dating but you're already making out? Oh boy." Then Ace's mind back tracked. "Law? as in your roommate?" Leave it to Luffy to be unpredictable and go for someone that gave him the creeps. Ace shivered. "God Luffy, you went for a weird one."

"What? He's pretty like Ace, but rough like Zoro. He takes time out every week for me. He's nice to me. Why wouldn't I like him?" Luffy questioned thinking about everything regarding his roommate. "Law's very smart." He murmured.

"Well I think it's pretty obvious you like him." He grimaced. "So I'd suggest you try to learn more about him before dating him or doing anything else." Ace blanched at the thought that Luffy was getting into a completely physical relationship.

"But Law's so guarded. I can't get under the likes and dislikes. How do I get to the deep stuff?"

Ace sighed thinking Luffy sounded like every bit the child he used to be. "I guess you just get him to be comfortable around you. Eventually his walls will come down." He didn't like where this was going, but for Luffy's sake he hoped it was just paranoia. "Luffy, just be careful. If someone is guarded, that means they usually have something to hide."

"Thank you Ace!" Luffy seemed to have brightened up causing Ace to smile too. "I have to go to class, but I'll call you later in the week!"

"Alright. Later Luff."

Luffy was excited. He'd gotten his first tests back and was pleased that all of them were not only passing but with a B on every single one. His ADD had made his test taking skills tank horribly since he couldn't focus, but somehow he'd been able to maintain his attention. He supposed it was because the classes were interesting. His disciplined plan of going running during homework when he got distracted had helped a lot too. He seemed to retain the information more. He had all intentions of celebrating, but nobody was available to. Zoro was in class and Law was at work. And while he'd been friendly, not very many people had bitten. University was a completely different animal than his home.

"Maaaaan! Bored." Luffy slumped down on the bench outside the commons.

"Will ya shut up?" a voice grumbled from the bench behind his. "I'm trying to get a nap between classes."

Luffy peeked over the side his eyes locking with annoyed wine colored ones. "Oh I'm sorry. Hey! you're in my psych lecture!"

The other person sat up causing Luffy sit back on his bench. Idly he noticed that the guy's eyes matched his hair. Black finger nails tousled the locks before the other slid a pair of goggles up over his forehead to hold the hair out of his face. Luffy watched as his newly discovered classmate yawned and stretched.

"Yea, you're the one that sits in front of me." He grimaced a little. "You move around too damn much."

"Well sorry. Not like those little chairs are comfortable. I'm sure that fat guy that sits in the front takes up like four of them." Luffy frowned.

He laughed. It was a deep and rumbling kind, but Luffy knew it was a real one. "Yea they're probably stuck in his ass-meat so he can't feel 'em." Luffy found himself chuckling at that. "You know what? I kinda like your spunk. What's your name?"

"Ah, I'm Luffy." he grinned.

"Luffy eh? Eustass Kid.*" dark purple lips spread into a teethy smile.

Instantly Luffy liked this man. He was weird and quite honestly to him, funny. He found himself laughing at the cracks made about other students the two had observed in the lecture while Kizaru-sensei* had been putting the class to sleep with his drawl. He grinned enjoying the other's company. He found out that Eustass was mechanical engineering major with a minor in physics, that he was two years older, and that he worked in the physics shop. The guy seemed pretty easy going and had a mischeivous streak. The two were laughing when another voice popped up behind Luffy.

"Ara, I didn't realize you were acquainted with mister Eustass."

"Oh Law!" Luffy chimed up excitedly. "He's in one of my classes."Luffy turned, unaware of the scowl decorating the other's face.

"I have to go to class." He stood up abruptly giving Law a displeased look over Luffy's head.

"Bye Kid!" Luffy shouted.

"Indeed mister Eustass." Law said curtly.

"Is Law done with class?" Luffy asked.

"Yes. Lecture was canceled for today." Law quirked an eyebrow. "Why do you ask?"

"I want to celebrate. I got my tests back." Luffy pumped his arms victoriously. "Can Law celebrate tonight?"

"Hmm, I guess we can. I have a few things I have to do though. So why don't you go back to the room and relax until I'm finished." Law said while waving his hand non-chalantly.

"Yeah!" Luffy jumped up. "what are we going to do?"

Law tapped his chin for a moment as if in thought. "Whatever you want." He finally stated while offering a small smirk.

a/n: Thanks for reading and the reviews guys. I'm having a lot of fun writing this. I'm trying hard to not have anyone too out of character. I don't think I'm doing too bad so far. Law's darker personality quirks are really interesting to me. I'm enjoying writing him. Law is one of my most favorite characters in one piece. I really adore this pairing though there isn't much for it. I hope you all are enjoying reading as much as I am writing.

- Seakings are a common animal in the OP universe, so I thought it appropriate to have a documentary on.

- Law's 'DEATH' tattoo was originally incomplete in the manga then later was shown as finished.

- I already had Luffy with a cellphone when I did the first chapter because I forgot about the adorable little den-den mushi. So I thought it might be ok for the landlines in the residence halls since my old residence hall had those OLD wake the dead ringer phones

- Obviously this is Eustass Kid. His devil fruit power made me think mechanical junk was major appropriate for him.

- I really wanted one of the admirals as a teacher, and I though that he'd be a hilarious lecture teacher. I could so imagine the slow drawl of his voice putting people to sleep
