part IV
Disproved Theory
Luffy awoke to the sound of bubbling. He blinked his eyes sleepily and stretched trying to orient himself. His mouth felt dry and his head hurt a little, but most of all his back was itching like crazy. He pushed off the surface underneath him and noticed that he recognized the texture. His shoulders popped as he moved slowly. As he sat fully up he brushed against the back of couch. Immediately he reached around to scratch his back.
"I told you not to do that." His roommate's voice came from the darkened side of the dorm.
Luffy heard the click of Law's desk lamp and he saw that the other was still laying down on his back with his hat covering his face. He briefly wondered how Law knew what he was about to do. He watched as the hand that had switched on the lamp flopped languidly down before Law sat up tossing his hat aside. He met Law's eyes through the dim light and tilted his head questioningly at the smirk that bled into them.
"Take the aspirin I left out for you then I'll tend to your back."
That was the first time Luffy noticed he was shirtless. He shrugged at the revelation and then turned to his side table to see two pills and a bottle of water. As he downed them he could hear the scuff of Law's feet against the area rug. The other's weight on the couch next to him was comfortable. He turned and hunched his shoulders a bit waiting for the cold sensation of the after-care gellee. Law pressed his hand against the center of Luffy's back and then began slapping the tattoo. It stung lightly, but the feeling distracting from the itchiness. It was soon soothed by gel being massaged on in small circles. He yawned and relaxed enjoying the touch.
"Did Law bring me home?" Luffy finally asked.
"Yes, you got sick at the club and we barely managed to get you to a toilet fast enough. You did vomit on my shoe on the way up here though." He said flatly while concentrating.
"I'm sorry Law! I never had whatever those little drinks were." He tried to turn to face his roommate, but was forced to stay still. "They were really good."
"They gave you lemon drops and cherry bombs. You got sick because of too much sugar. I'm actually quite surprised that you don't have a massive headache." He sighed and wiped his hands on his pant leg.
"what time is it?" Luffy yawned.
"A little after 5am." Law adjusted so that he was leaning against the back of the couch.
"I'm glad Law came out tonight." Luffy smiled sleepily. "I love Nami and Zoro, but I feel like burden them sometimes." He leaned forward onto his knees.
"Why is that?" He knew Luffy was caring, but he hadn't expected such an admission.
"Nami warns me not to be too trusting. Says I'm too innocent." Luffy grinned.
Law smirked. "She's right. Your innocence is very attractive. It can draw some unsavory people." He reached up and ruffled Luffy's hair.
"How does Law scare bad people off without hurting or yelling at them?" He questioned.
That caught him off guard. He'd always thought that Luffy had been unaware of his would be attackers. It just proved that the kid was more attentive than even he'd given him credit for. He wasn't keen on explaining that he was hurting them in subtle ways and getting some enjoyment out of it, so he tried to give the broadest answer. "Guess I just have an intimidating personality."
"Will Law kiss me again?" He repeated the question from the club while turning to look intently at his roommate.
"Sure, but not right now. You need to sleep off the rest of that alcohol and then brush your teeth." Law stated with a small grimace.
"Aww...that's mean." Luffy pouted playfully.
Law got up from the couch to let Luffy stretch back out. He sighed at the look that he got, but smirked in response. Luffy flopped back onto his stomach in a huff, but it was all in jest. He dragged the blanket off the top of the couch and covered up. Law sauntered back to his bed and flicked the desk lamp off before stretching out with an audible groan. He eventually sighed as he got comfortable and then found himself smiling at the fact that Luffy had already fallen off into sleep again. He didn't want to admit, but there was something more than fascination.
Luffy awoke later to an empty room and a dry mouth. He groaned and smacked his lips. As he slowly moved from the couch he wondered what time it was and to where his roommate had gone. A look at his phone showed that it was a little bit after noon, definitely not as late as he'd expected. Upon seeing Law's perfectly made bed, he decided the other had been up and about for a while and decided to freshen up. He nearly tripped getting off the couch realizing that Law had moved the desk trashcan next to the couch in case he got sick. Luffy grinned and moved it back before going about his routine.
Law returned to the room to hear the shower running and Luffy singing loudly. He smirked and set his bag by Luffy's couch then sat down at his desk. He was amused at the other's antics and was quite surprised to see the boy up and about before he'd gotten back to give him a "hangover cure". He was sure that the boy's voracious appetite would have kicked in so he had gotten *bagels with plain cream cheese and sliced grapefruit because he'd seen bad times with greasy food after a night of drinking. And he wasn't too keen on being around Luffy vomiting again. He blinked hearing his phone's message alert. There was a text from Nami asking if Luffy was okay followed by a "I thought you'd like this 3" and a picture attached of him and Luffy dancing. Their bodies were pressed together and Luffy was looking back questioningly at him. He smirked and saved the picture.
He closed the image when he heard the shower shut off and responded to Nami accordingly. "Luffy is fine. Must have just gotten up. He was singing in the shower."
"That doesn't surprise me. I got some other nice pics of him. I'll send them later. ;)"
Both his eyebrows raised up when he saw Luffy pop out of the bathroom in just a towel. He couldn't help but chuckle at the look of surprise from the other boy. It was soon erased by a shrug and a laugh further proving that Luffy had no particular shame about being naked or being seen that way. Law shook his head and motioned Luffy over with a tilt of his head. The boy seemed to forget all shyness and walked over and knelt down on the floor with his back to his roommate. Even though the gel had been warmed up, Law's hands still felt cool on his freshly showered skin. A small tremor ran up his spine as deft fingers massaged the ointment into the inked area.
"Don't rub it so much with the towel. It's a little bit red and irritated." He sighed.
Luffy tried to pout, but found himself sighing in relaxation instead. His muscles were a little bit sore from dancing and the shower had only just made it known to him. He exhaled happily and slouched. Law slid out of his chair and silently to the floor noticing the change in Luffy's demeanor. The gel was long absorbed into the other's skin, but this had provided him the perfect opportunity to test the younger man's boundaries. His hands slowed and the touches became more penetrating, like a massage. Luffy made a soft pleased sound so he let his fingers glide a little further down Luffy's back. He dug his thumbs into the small dimples at the small of the back eliciting a slightly louder moan. Law let off the pressure a little and walked his hands further toward Luffy's sides. His touch then became more sensual as he let it move around and caress the narrow hips his fingers just brushing the top of the towel. Luffy tensed a tiny bit, but didn't make any move to get away. Law chuckled, satisfied with his discovery and slid his fingers back around and up to the other's shoulder blades.
"I brought you some food that shouldn't upset your stomach." He murmured and then eventually moved to get up.
Luffy sighed. "Law's always so nice to me. Why?" He grabbed his clothes off the couch arm and left Law with that thought while he got dressed.
Why indeed. Law didn't quite understand himself. It wasn't a thought that particularly sat well with him either. He didn't like not being in total control. Luffy was like a chaos element in his perfectly organized little world. He tipped everything on its side and made Law act outside his norm. It was disquieting just how disarming the other was. His innocent nature was so wonderfully corruptible and it drew the scientific side of the med student to test and postulate and really try to glean information. The more masculine side of him was keen on getting under the skin and seeing what made the boy 'tick'. It was possessive, lusty, and to a small point greedy. It was alarming, but when he really broke it down, he could find no real unfavorable side-effects to wanting Luffy aside from his own confusion. He shrugged, he'd always been able to adapt to a situation and this was no different. In the very least it kept him amused and his mind busy.
When Luffy came back in the room his was back to his excitable self and was near to pouncing at Law in his hunger. He grinned widely and plopped down on the floor right in front of Law wondering what type of food had been brought. He grimaced visibly though when a bottle of vegetable juice was thrust in his face. Law smirked and shook it urging him to take it. Luffy pouted, but took the bottle. He did stick his tongue out at Law to show his distaste for the drink.
"Drink it. Your body needs to rehydrate, and since I know you have a fast metabolism it will restore some energy too." He stated with a small sound of annoyance.
"Okay, fine." Luffy grumbled but popped open the bottle anyway.
Law watched him take a gulp and then nodded in satisfaction. Afterwards he opened the bag next to the couch and handed his roommate a bagel and cup of cream cheese. Luffy bounced in excitement at the food and grinned up completely forgetting about the vegetable juice. Law's eyes widened at the bright smile then he shook his head at how Luffy's mood had switched. While Luffy was slathering his bagel Law opened the large container of citrus and put a fork in it.
"Law is so smart. I never told Law that I like these." Luffy mumbled between bites.
"Oh?" He hummed. "what do you like about them?"
"Shanks used to take us to the bakery when we were younger and let us pick the dozen." Luffy smiled thoughtfully. "They always smelled so good. Ace and me used to fight over the last one."
Law smirked and helped himself to the fruits. Luffy sighed happily and rooted around in the bag for another bagel. Just as he was going for another bite his phone chimed that he had a text message. He reached for it questioningly all the while holding the half in his mouth. He grinned happily at the picture that popped up and dropped his food. Nami's, Zoro's, and his own grinning faces surrounded by shot glasses covered the screen. He laughed and kicked his legs nearly tossing the abandoned bread in the floor.
"Law! Law! Look!" He shouted while turning and waving his phone at the other.
He leaned forward but instead of looking at the phone he rubbed his thumb along Luffy's lip brushing crumbs and cream away. Luffy paused and his cheeks pinked at the action. Everything was forgotten as he focused on the feeling of Law's touch. A weight settled on his knee and he swallowed nervously as Law drew closer. Their lips had just brushed together when Luffy's phone started ringing. Law flicked his tongue out across the other's bottom lip before pushing away with an uttered 'fuck'.
Luffy had been in a great mood from Nami's visit, but now something else was plaguing him. The concept of sex dreams were nothing new to him, but more often than he'd ever had, they were starting to be a regular occurence. Ever since the morning after he'd had too much to drink. He couldn't get the feel of Law's fingers out of his head. If he'd given it away though, the other had said nothing. Anytime that Law had touched his back now to apply aquaphor he found himself sighing a little bit more deeply and his skin heating up. He wasn't by any means against sleeping with Law. In fact, he was pretty sure that he wanted that, but the problem lay in not really knowing the hows and whats of it. He knew Law was experienced in the department, and that didn't bother him. He just wanted to be able to reciprocate so that he could also make the other feel good.
He'd texted Ace asking if they could have a den-chat when he was done with class. Ace always seemed to know the answers to his questions and more often than not would answer. Despite as a child asking all kinds of vulgar questions to his brother, he felt oddly uncomfortable asking these kinds. As he'd booted up the screen his normal confidence wasn't there. He pursed his lips and bobbed his leg vigorously waiting for Ace to sign in. A few moments later, *the snail on fire icon popped up showing Ace was available. He called and tried to grin when it was answered.
"So, it has to be something really important for you to want a den chat." Ace rested his chin on his fist. "Turn on your camera Luffy." He sighed.
"Sorry." He pouted a little at Ace's bored expression. "It's really, really important. Ace always knows how to help. I know I asked Nami last time, but this is too embarrassing to ask her." Luffy babbled.
Ace sat up more straight concerned about just 'what' was too much for Luffy to not tell to his best friend. "Alright little brother. What's on your mind?"
"Sex." Luffy blurted out.
Ace almost face-planted the desk in surprise. "Wha? Luffy we already had this conversation. What's wrong now?"
"No I mean-" He curled his lips up again trying to puzzle out what he wanted to say. "Ace and Marco have sex right?"
Ace covered his mouth with his hand to try to hide the small blush. He then sighed in exasperation and moved to scratch his chin. "Yeah? Why do you ask? Not that it's really anyone's business..." He finally mumbled.
"Umm..." Luffy began blushing more, then finally just deciding to dive right in. "I think I want to with Law, but I've never done anything, and I want to make Law feel good, but I don't know how." He said rapidly without pause.
Ace blanched not at all pleased with the direction that had turned, but the earnest, trusting look in his brother's eyes kept him from voicing his complaint. "Okay Luffy, listen to me and don't let any other misconceptions get into your mind. Okay?" He continued when Luffy nodded. "Luffy, sex isn't some big difficult thing. It's a natural desire and function of the body. There isn't just one right way to do it. It should be shared with someone you'd trust with your body."
"But I do trust Law. Law has taken care of me and I like Law." He grinned feeling a little more comfortable.
"Right." Ace huffed and then explained. "There's not preamble to sex. It should feel comfortable and enjoyable. Touch, laugh, kiss, and want. There shouldn't be any rush." He smiled softly thinking about the first time he'd done anything. "Being nervous is natural, but you and your partner should be able to calm each other. You should get a rush, but not rush."
"But how do I make him feel good? And how do we make it smooth?" He questioned sincerely.
"Well, you just feel. Find out what the other person likes through the senses." He shrugged. "As for making it not hurt, that's what foreplay and preparation are for." Ace frowned. "I assume he has some 'notches on his belt'?" he asked refusing to say Law's name.
"Yea. But I don't care." Luffy seemed completely blase to the whole thing. "Law's past is Law's past. I just want Law to feel good."
"Luffy, maybe you shouldn't just jump into sex with him." Ace stated. "Why don't you try to see what he likes and have some fun learning about his body before you take your normal approach." He grimaced not believing that he was actually telling Luffy to fool around with his roommate.
Luffy brightened visibly at the suggestion. "Yeah! But how do I do that?"
Ace exhaled in slight relief at the aversion of a minor crisis. "Just do what feels natural."
After that, the two briefly chatted about what else was going on. Luffy talked about Nami's visit and even showed Ace some of the clothing that she'd gotten him. Meanwhile he talked about how his classes were going and how he was going to be doing an apprenticeship with professor *Newgate just as Marco had. By then end of their conversation, the discomfort about Luffy's questions had been long forgotten and they were laughing away. The jingle of keys in the hallway alerted Luffy of his roommate's arrival though and he bade goodbye to Ace promising to call him later.
He turned as Law walked in debating on what to do. Law looked mildly irritated and had the sleeves of his lab coat rolled up and was clenching his beanie in a tight fist. Luffy wasn't used to seeing his arms and his hair when he was still in work garb. He watched with wide curious eyes as Law tore his coat off and stretched out on his bed. He was inspired to act knowing his breaking one of the boundaries that was implied as rule. Never had anyone or anything not belonging to Law ever touched his bed. Luffy was tossing that into the wind as he walked over.
Law started when he felt the bed dip at his side. Luffy's knees rested next to his hips and suddenly felt the pressure of another body resting against him. He tilted his head up a fraction to see what the other was up to. Luffy was actually just quietly laying on him head curled against his chest. It was odd to see Luffy silent while he was awake, but for whatever reason the other's body pressing down on his own was calming. He moved his right arm to pillow his head while his left came up to tug lightly on Luffy's hair.
"Na- Law's upset." He finally murmured against his roommate's hoodie.
"Nothing to concern yourself with. The problem has been taken care of." Law replied staring at the ceiling and wondering why he was letting Luffy stay cuddled up with him.
While he had taken care of the issue, he was still frustrated over it. His body was tense despite the calming lull that Luffy was drawing over him. His hand tightened in Luffy's hair subconsciously and it wasn't until the other made a pained grunt that he realized. Slowly he let go and slicked his fingers through the dark locks in unspoken apology. His mind was already working on methods to keep a repeat from today's incident from happening again. Luffy shifted on top of him and he became suddenly aware of just how inappropriately close their bodies were. He debated on whether or not he should push their boundaries again. Luffy lifted his head to look up at him.
"Does this make it better?" He asked innocently while giving a small grin.
"It helps..."Law's eyes narrowed and he suddenly rolled Luffy over pinning him to the bed. "I know something that will make it all go away." He husked against Luffy's lips.
Luffy's eyes widened a bit, but showed no fear. He merely met Law's gaze with a curious and open expression. He was curious to see how the other was going to react. Law was surprised to see the almost acceptance in the younger man's eyes. He leaned forward until he was resting completely on his forearms over Luffy. The action pressed their hips together and he could feel the tell-tale signs of awakening arousal. Luffy's cheeks were flushed in embarrassment and he was unable to look Law in the face. It was cute. He decided to push again and leaned over and kissed Luffy. The other was surprised at first, but then responded with vigor. Instantly Law was granted access and he took it stabbing his tongue in Luffy's mouth and prompting him to tangle. Luffy curled his almost wrapping up the invading appendage completely. Law filed that bit away knowing that skill might come in handy for later activities.
Luffy moaned and pulled away panting. His eyes were dilated and his lips were plumped from kissing. He was eyeing the other man with confused want as if he was unable to decide what he needed. Law sat up and adjusted so that he was sitting against the wall with his legs hanging comfortably off the side of the bed. Luffy watched him with rapt attention and even he couldn't deny that the look was smouldering and a little bit of a turn on. He waited to see what the other would do. Luffy's blush was rapidly coming back and Law thought that would be it. He was surprised by the other though.
Luffy sat up, weight on his forearms and breathed deeply. "I like when Law does that." He murmured his voice low. Law doubted that Luffy even had any idea of how he sounded. "It feels hot. I like how Law makes it feel."
He hummed in approval as he watched Luffy crawl over to him. "I can make it feel very good." He whispered. "Do you want to?"
Luffy shied back. "I don't know how." He looked away and pouted.
Law chuckled and cupped Luffy's head. "It's fine. I can show you how." He leaned down, but just as he was about to kiss Luffy again his phone went off. "Fuck." He growled while moving away to answer it.
Luffy rested back on his haunches and watched Law with a tilted head. He was pacing and speaking quietly, but annoyance was clearly written on his face. Even in irritation though, his movements were controlled and precise. Luffy found himself counting Law's steps noticing that he always made the same amount before turning around and going back the other way. Looking at his stride popped a memory of the bar up and how their bodies had been so close, that he could feel long legs framing his own. Honestly, he loved Law's legs. They were slender, but powerful. He wondered what his roommate did to keep in shape. Law stopped mid-stride and he covered his phone and turned to Luffy.
"We'll finish this later." He muttered in annoyance before walking out of the room and slamming the door.
Law had been more than irate when he returned to the room later. He was quiet knowing that it was way later than he was used to returning. His irritation seemed to melt as soon as he noticed Luffy passed out on top of his homework, his straw hat completely covering his head. Law sighed and shook the other awake knowing that otherwise a fierce neck ache would be involved later. A soft groan came from under the hat and then a noise of discontent, but he still didn't move. Law knew his roommate was aware, but decided to get under his skin. His hand braced against the back of the chair, he leaned over and lightly blew in Luffy's ear. He smirked as a visible shiver rand through the other's body.
"Law's mean." a muffled quip came from the younger man.
"And why is that?" He murmured while flicking his tongue out to barely touch the whorl of the ear.
Luffy sat up and pouted over his shoulder. "It got too hot, and Law didn't come back."
The man in question straightened up a little bit startled by the frankness in Luffy's reply. "I see. Did you take care of it?" Law asked wondering if he would get shy again.
Luffy nodded. "Videos don't help though."
That was new. He hadn't expected his roommate to resort to pornography. It was interesting to hear none the less. "Not everyone enjoys visual stimulation." He stated matter of factly.
"I compare them all to Law. I like how Law looks and I like what Law does to me." He admitted openly despite his furious blush.
"I guess then, I'll have to do something about that hmm?" He crossed his arms pretending to think about it. Luffy nodded resolutely with a small frown causing him to smirk. "I guess I'm going to have fun learning what *mister straw hat likes aren't I?" He bent at the waist so that he was eye to eye with the other.
"Only if Law feels good too. I want to know what Law likes." He almost whined.
Eustass had noticed that Luffy was distracted again. He was in a daze drawing circles repetitively over his entire notebook. He nudged the other trying to snap him to attention. It didn't really work. Luffy just shifted his weight and tilted his head to the opposite side. That's when Eustass caught sight of the large purplish hickey that was peaking just out of the shoulder hem of Luffy's shirt. He coughed suddenly and elbowed Luffy harder. That seemed to snap him out of it. He had a sneaking suspicion of where the mark had come from and it made him uneasy. It was almost as if Law wanted him to see what he was doing to Luffy.
As soon as class was over Luffy stretched and then looped his arm through his classmate's and dragged him out. "Kid! Food!"
"Che'. You've got some nerve Luffy." He grumbled, but the statement lacked any true malice.
Wordlessly he followed while Luffy dragged him to Franky's. After the previous incident of Luffy's dine and dash, they'd started coming after lecture. Luffy got on exceedingly well with the boisterous owner and it irritated Eustass. Oddly enough he did find the chaotic innocence a bit disarming and entertaining, so he 'tolerated' it. It was an added plus that if Law caught sight of them he'd get annoyed. Anything he could do to give small acts of revenge since bashing the other with his shop wrench was out of the question. Eustass had once been on that end. Law was particular like that. He'd remembered from high school.
They'd started off in the same accelerated chemistry class as lab partners. Law had seemed amiable enough and he was attractive to boot. Likewise, Law had made it no secret that he was open to both genders. They'd never dated though. Fooled around a feel times over homework assignments. One of his qualms though was that Law liked to show ownership and control of things. Eustass had never really appreciated the dark hickeys and scratch marks he came home with after study sessions despite how good they felt and how awesome the sex was. Since they were 'no strings attached' he didn't want any markers showing possession. Though he did have a feeling that a lot of Law's personality had been the result of a shitty home life. The man was ruthless in his own way and very cunning. He betted that there had been some sort of abuse involved and it had turned Law into a user. And boy had he been good at it. He had the fake smile and polite voice down to an art.
Law had graduated top in the class and had been a member of the vocational/technical society, president of the science club, and the captain of the kendo team. His façade was near flawless except when he was around his father. Eustass had met the man once during one of their study sessions and he had absolutely no desire to again. There was an unspoken animosity between the pair. Law's father had an unnerving, permanent grin and was exponentially creepier and more intimidating than anyone he'd ever met. It was obvious that Law wanted nothing to do with him. From what he understood, Law's father knew some pretty powerful people and also therefore got away with a lot of illegal stuff. He always seemed to be trying to prod his son into joining in on his activities too, but the other had zero interest in it. Law was the opposite of his father, but he was by no means innocent either. Eustass knew he had his own brand of cruelty. It was just a lot more subtle. Eustass had been on the receiving end of that behavior more than once and it had gotten him into trouble.
It seemed like too good of a coincidence to pass up that someone Law had an interest in had become an acquaintance of his. He wasn't too keen on somebody as seemingly innocent as Luffy getting tangled up with Law, but he figured it might be a good way for things to backfire. Luffy was on his own tier of chaos, and if anyone could set the other's world off kilter it would be him. He'd never expected that he'd know, much less be on a first name basis with anyone like him. His normal companions were nothing like Luffy. The positive energy was something he wasn't used to. Though he supposed that was what had attracted Law in the first place.
He smirked as he watched Luffy dance around with the owner. Eustass had never found himself enjoying something carefree like Luffy. He frowned wondering suddenly if he'd been deprived of something in his childhood or if Luffy was just that resilient. He was well aware of the ADD that plagued the other. His fidgeting during lecture had been the tip off. Their frolicking was interrupted by the door slamming inwards. The pair stopped and turned toward the noise. Eustass raised an eyebrow at the gang troublemakers that had just entered. He stood up and slid his jacket off calmly. One of the men started hassling one of Franky's waitresses and suddenly Luffy was in action.
*"Leave Square sis alone!" Luffy shouted while rearing back and punching the man square in the jaw.
Both Franky and Eustass balked at the downed man and then at Luffy. He was crouched on the counter holding his arm and grinning. The other men started cursing and making fists. Luffy tilted his head and asked the girl if she was alright completely ignoring the gang. That caused a whole new round of cursing and yelling. Franky was starting to get annoyed since they were disturbing his business. Eustass walked over to the men and tsked.
"Che' my soda is hot now." He muttered while fixing the group with a glare.
"Oi, if you're going to fight take it outside! You're makin' a mess." Franky yelled while pointing angrily at the door.
Luffy jumped off the counter and dragged one of the guys outside. The crowd followed thinking they were going to get the best of the smaller man. Eustass sighed heavily and walked outside after them. Luffy was already in the middle of the fray jumping side to side and avoiding hits all the while laughing boisterously. The red head tapped a man on the shoulder and then kicked him in the gut when he turned.
"Oh Kid! Have some fun!" Luffy cheered between punches.
"Tch. You're so damn troublesome *straw-boy." He replied while punching another man.
Despite the complaint Eustass was enjoying himself. It had been a while since he'd been in a street brawl. He got a kind of satisfaction from beating up stupid thugs. Where he'd grown up had been rough and it had been a way of life. When he'd gotten into high school his family had moved to a better location so he hadn't gotten into quite as many fights. But now, his was drawn back into that mindset and he even found himself chuckling as they fought. When the group had been downed he was face to face with Luffy. The younger one was disheveled his jacket askew and falling off one shoulder. His hair was plastered to his forehead and he was flushed and grinning. Eustass' eyes widened as he stared. Luffy didn't look like the innocent, happy, unfocused student he was used to. His smile had a serious note to it, and his body was tense as if he was used to fighting. It was...
"Hot." That's when he realized the most damning thing. He was attracted to Luffy. "Fuck..."
He was two seconds from slamming the other against the wall and kissing him, but that train of thought was derailed. "Oi you two. Get back in here. Cops 're coming to get those losers." Franky bellowed through the door.
Luffy grabbed Eustass' arm and pulled him back into the shoppe. Franky was frowning and shaking his head. His two crazy haired waitress were laughing at the whole predicament. Eustass sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time and slumped back into the booth and glared at his now watered down drink. Eventually Franky changed it out for a new one. Luffy joined him chattering animatedly about what had just happened stuffing fries in his mouth between sentences. The carefree attitude was back and Eustass could not believe his bad luck in the situation. Couldn't believe his attraction to the younger man.
When they left Eustass made sure to quickly take leave of Luffy's company. The image that had set him off earlier was still very present in his mind and he was not keen on embarrassing himself with the other man. As he made his way to the mech shop he still couldn't focus. The bike he was tinkering with didn't take his mind off of it either. After an hour or so of trying to forget he got fed up and threw his wrench across garage. Hanging around Luffy had been one thing. Allow the other to become his friend hadn't really crossed his mind, but it had happened and he didn't really have a complaint. Finding the man attractive was a completely different scenario. What made it worse was how Law was tied in to all of it. Luffy obviously enjoyed the other's company. He wasn't sure of the nature of their relationship outside of being roommates, but he was aware there was at least a physical element if the hickey had been any sign. The draw might have been okay if Luffy hadn't been tied to somebody he pretty much hated, but it obviously wasn't the case. He was now involved in something that spelled drama in a large way. And he absolutely hated drama.
Law had been irritated when his father had called earlier in the week interrupting what was proving to be a very stimulating make out session with Luffy. One that he'd promised to make up for and finish. Unfortunately said man had come up to the campus on Wednesday completely thwarting his plans of ravishing Luffy. He hated the man and couldn't wait to be done with him. He'd texted Luffy between classes and told him he had a family emergency and wouldn't be able to have their normal time. Luffy had seemed dejected in the response, but had waved it off with some statement about how family was important. Law hadn't wanted to sit in on one of his father's business ventures, but as he was still making use of the man's resources he had to suck it up.
His father was a flamboyant, but dangerous man. When a car had arrived on campus to pick Law up he'd frowned at the preamble of it all and cursed. He hated being involved in his father's mess. The drug scene wasn't particularly his thing. Eventually he was going to pull the proverbial rug out from the man's feet. For now he was biding his time. And so far, his father had no idea what was going on.
He drummed his fingers on his slacks leg watching calmly out the window of the car and taking a mental note of where he was at. He hated wearing suits, but whenever there was a venture involved it was required. He didn't know why. No matter what, his father always showed up to meetings with his over-sized coat with feather trim and glam-rock, purple sunglasses. He sighed and wondered what kind of shit was expected of him this time around. He ignored the man sitting across from him in the back already annoyed with having to be in his presence.
When they'd pulled up to one of the nicer hotels he grimaced knowing there would be all kinds fake pleasantries to waste his time. His father exited the car first greeting their apparent host with flourish. Law simply managed a small tilt of his head. He hated being around these men. As they were escorted to a large suite Law observed everything in the surrounding scenery. He growled as soon as he noticed 'entertainment'. His father however, relished in the attentions of the scantily clad women. As they were seated more of the women came over and tried to fawn over him. He ignored them in favor of trying to pick up pieces of conversations. Eventually drinks and a premier meal were served and then the issue at hand was addressed. Law's father had been working closely with several groups to produce and distribute various drugs. *Smile had been the most recent one they'd come up with. It was a highly addictive hallucinogen and the test market they'd used had come up very profitable. It made Law disgusted.
The meeting had gone on and on about how the drug was selling and how it had their other 'markets' booming. Law was at least glad that he knew what had been going on, but it had made him hate his father even more. The meeting being held at Saobady only meant one thing. And that was that they were going to be targeting the area for distribution. That made way more shit for Law to deal with and also carried along the added problem of more human trafficking. It seemed that where ever his father brought the trade, convenient disappearances also occurred.
"Ara, Law you should be joining in on this by now." his father chuckled.
"I'm not interested. The only science I'm interested in is the medical field." He stated flatly.
"Oh? You could always be a surgeon for our 'organ donors'" He quipped.
"No thank you." He said firmly as they both entered the car.
"You know that you're still my son, boy. Eventually you're going to have to take your place." He remarked. "But I suppose you being fully certified is more useful in the long run." He grinned eerily and stretched out across the seat.
Law shrugged and resumed looking out the window. He idly rubbed his thumb and pointer finger together while watching the buildings pass. As the car got closer to campus, he noticed more people out and about. Live music and racket was easily heard even through the closed windows. A familiar voice carried over all the noise though and Law's eyes widened as they stopped at a light. Across the street Luffy was sitting at and outside table at *Shakki's bar. He wasn't alone either. Luffy's friend Zoro was sitting across the table from didn't much matter, but it was his other guest that did. Eustass was sitting on the same side of the table his arms spread out on the low wall behind him. His left arm was dangerously close to cupping Luffy's shoulder though. Luffy in all his carefree innocence didn't seem to notice either. At first Law growled, but then he smirked an idea coming to mind. It seemed he needed to remind mister Eustass just who Luffy belonged to and why he shouldn't mess with him.
a/n: Yay, finally done with this chapter. There was so much more I wanted to put, but I didn't want it to drag so hopefully I get the next out soon. Thanks so much for sticking with me and for all the loverly reviews and follows. The more I read and watch OP the more I love Law and incidentally the LuffyxLaw pairing. Originally I had not planned to have Kid after Luffy as well, but I think it added a certain amount of tension and I liked it. Also, writing Luffy as sexually inexperienced, but not completely innocent is hard. Each time I typed something I'd reread it and be like 'naaaah that's out of character.' I do hope my end result is to your liking. I don't want Luffy to be completely stupid to sex because I don't think he is. I just feel it's not something he'd be interested in/ paid attention to before. Him being embarrassed by his lack of experience felt very real to me though. He knows he wants something more, but not sure how to go about it. Also in regards to how Luffy views sex and why he doesn't seem to care that him and Law aren't dating will actually be explained next chapter. Just know that he doesn't really understand the concept of it being considered taboo.
Notes:
- I am completely aware that Law does not like bread. He got the bagels for Luffy. He was more interested in the fruit.
- Think of a chat/skype icon. Except everything in den-chat is snails you can customize. Ace's had flames. (tribute to his mera mera fruit)
- Newgate again refers to Whitebeard also Ace's and Marco's head of department professor.
- Mister straw hat is referencing back to Mugiwara-ya. Law uses interchangeably for Luffy in this story.
- Wanted to include Franky's little posse. Square sis could be either Mozu or Kiwi
- Straw-boy is Eustass giving Luffy a nickname as well. Also from Mugiwara.
- Smile is the name I'm using for the drug being produced. This is kinda spoiler-y if you aren't caught up in one piece but SMILE is the name of the artificially made devil fruits. Since I'm having this drug I thought it'd be a good name to use for a hallucinogen.
- The above being said, I'm sure I've given off enough hints of who I decided to make Law's father. I think it fits quite well.
- Shakki's is a bar with a side patio seating area. In OP Shakki actually does have a bar on Saobady so I thought it appropriate.
