Hey Guys :D got another new one for you, please don't kill me.
Anyways, I own nothing in one piece. Enjoy!
In the populated city of Seabody, a long anticipated concert had just finished entertaining a crowd in its final stop of the "Grand Line Tour" event. And now the members of a highly popular band were ready to take their month off to catch up on much needed rest and relaxation.
The members had the great privilage to stay at the esteemed Neferati Hotel and the most sought out suite; they had purchased their stay at the lavish penthouse scoring four master bedrooms, a huge kitchen, five restrooms, a recreation room, and more. Though all of those areas of the penthouse were currently unoccupied, for it was within the spacious living room where they were all conveniently gathered, along with their unnerving manager.
Tense silence loomed over the head of the gathered group. All eyes landed upon their lead singer and guitarist, awaiting the reaction that was no doubt about to quietly explode out of him.
"And you didn't tell me until now? One day before this stunt is supposed to happen!" the raven haired man fumed in that calm icy tone of his while he took a step further into the older man's personal space.
The towering blonde only chuckled in response. "I guess it just slipped my mind, Fuffuffuffuffu, I have been orchestrating this tour after all." He said gesturing towards the city outside of the crystal clear windows. And what a lavish sight it was, the city was still awake even though it was well past 2 a.m. all sorts of sound was inaudible due to their height, but you could still see the small trails of lights, cars as they zoomed by, or were halted in traffic, a city of lights.
"Oh c'mon Law, it's not that bad, all you have to is take a few pictures with the kid, take him to breakfast, lunch, and dinner and spend basically your entire day with him." Doflamingo added with clear amusement lacing his every word.
And with each of his words Law's face became darker as he glowered at the tanned man, his steel gray eyes trying to force the other to back down and call the whole thing off.
The two stared at each other for several minutes, cool gray piercing the dark lenses of Doflamingo's shades as the silence began to consume the room they were occupying.
A sigh finally broke the tension, "You know he has a point Law, look." Penguin came in holding up his Ipad with a poll chart clearly displayed on it.
"This is the most recent poll taken by our fans to see what they think of us now that we have gone around the entire Grand Line. If you look, this yellow bar is you, Shaichi is the red one, Bepo is the blue one, and the green one is mine. What do you see Boss?"
Reluctantly Law looked away from Doflamingo after the long cold stare and turned his attention to the poll, noting quite a significant difference. "My bar is higher than yours when it comes to sex appeal." Law deadpanned.
Behind them, where he lounged on the couch, Shaichi roared with laughter, "Of course he would notice that first, na bro, look at the bar next to that."
Law rolled his eyes not quite seeing the point the guys were trying to make with the stupid chart.
"You see our manager here added this poll to our website, and it asked a variety of questions, which one of the group do you like more, who has the greatest impact on stage, who is more approachable, and the likes. And as you so gallantly pointed out Boss, you won the attractiveness poll, tied the impact with Shaichi, the guy plays a mean bass after all, but you severely lost the approachable poll. Bepo won that by a landslide. Law, according to our fans you're 15% approachable." The hatted man explained.
Law grunted lightly in response whereas next to Shaichi the white haired man blushed lightly as he hung his head upon hearing the news, "I'm sorry Boss!"
"There's nothing to be sorry about Bepo-ya, congrats." Law reassured the white haired man before his gaze rounded back to Doflamingo.
"So why wasn't Bepo-ya the one chosen to entertain the kid for this stupid event, the fans obviously prefer him over me."
Doflamingo laughed once more. "Fuffuffuffuffu. And I thought you smarter than this Law, how disappointing. Must I really spell it out for you, hm?"
Grinding his teeth Law looked away giving up a defeated sigh, of course he knew.
The only reason their stupid birdbrain of a manager would do this had stared him right in the face when Penguin showed him that fucking chart. It was a publicity move, Law was the least popular in terms of relating to their fans and thus he was the choice candidate for this stupid act.
However, all this was to benefit the band and not himself, something that had definitely been taken into consideration by their flamboyant manager. Doflamingo knew Law disliked people, it wasn't a guarded secret in the band afterall. Law didn't warm up to most save for those of his band, they were the only ones he chose to spend some time around from time to time, since he couldn't deny there were moments when he needed a break from even these guys.
The same couldn't be said for the rest of the world, he preferred to remain as far away from them as possible, only enduring their annoying presence when he truly had no other choice. And he knew this was the main reason he hadn't been told of the event until a few hours before it was supposed to take place. If Doflamingo had told him of his plan even a week earlier, Law would have weaseled himself out of it one way or another.
"I hope you know how much I hate you guys for this." he growled out after a minute.
To which Bepo apologized again, Penguin offered an apologetic smile, Shaichi only shrugged his shoulders while snickering at Law's reaction to the whole matter. And Doflamingo finally flashed him his largest shit-eating grin.
"Yes. yes we're highly aware of how much you adore us my dear Law, but I'm afraid it can't be helped. But I will say this, I don't think you'll mind the boy you are to entertain as much as you think. Here, I expect you to study this file, and be on your best behavior tomorrow. Make the kid happy Law." the blonde man ordered rather than suggest his wishes as he left Law and the rest of the band, whistling merrily as he strode out of their hotel suite and presumably out to gamble for the night as he usually did.
"Tch. Fucking birdbrain." Law cursed and flung the file onto the nearest surface before he too stalked off towards the kitchen.
He needed a drink.
"Woah! Law, You're uncle wasn't lying look at this guy, he's totally your type!" Shaichi called out from the living room as he held up a picture, waving the small printed image wildly in Law's direction.
Law rolled his eyes and popped open the bottle of mineral water and taking a large gulp. Wishing himself in a better place, Law momentarily reveled in the fizzing sensation that washed over his mouth and flowed down his throat. However, reality was still waiting for him when he opened his eyes and carelessly tossed the cap of his drink down on the coffee table, it was then that he finally he glared down at Shaichi, "Can you not. I just want this shit over as soon as possible. I'll meet the kid, spend a few hours with him and that'll be the end of that."
Law took another gulp of his drink before fixing his cold stare on the three seated before him. "Now who here knew about this and didn't tell me?"
The three band members gulped audibly, all thinking the same collective thought. 'Fuck.'
xx{One Week Earlier}xx
"Holy mother of Fuck! Luffy! Luffy get your ass out of bed!"
And with that exclaimed sentence, Ace ran down the hall, earning bangs of annoyance from the other residents of the household. Sanji and Zoro would give him an earful later that day, but Ace didn't care, he would deal with that when the time came.
"LU! You better be up Luuu!" he said barging into the closed room that belonged to his younger brother. "Oh god you have to see this!" he yelled once again as he bounced onto Luffy's bed.
"Aaaaaccce, it's too early." the teen under him complained as he was rocked out of bed, bouncing nearly off of it, though managing to catch himself on time.
"It's never to early for this Lu, look!" Ace said quickly thrusting the envelope at his younger brother and flopping down onto the bed to sit, all the while grinning like a maniac.
Annoyance marred Luffy's sleepy features before it turned to curiosity having noticed the over excitement of his brother. "I still don't see how this couldn't wait." Luffy wondered taking the letter and squinting at the envelope, letting his eyes adjust to the morning light.
Half lidded coal eyes soon widened upon reading from who the letter was addressed from. "DONQUIXOTE RECORDS?!"
It only took the teen reading that name for him to rip open the letter and pull out the folded piece of paper.
"No way..." Luffy exhaled as he read the words, twice. Thrice.
"NO FUCKING WAY!" Luffy couldn't believe what he was reading here in black and white.
"Ace you read it!" he then shoved the letter into the older D's hands and awaited his interpretation of the words.

"NO FUCKING WAY!" Ace echoed as he and Luffy scrambled out of bed and ran down the hall.
"Saaaaaanjiiiii! Zoooooooooro! I/HE WON." The D brothers chanted as they raced through the house making their way to the closest internet capable device to confirm Luffy's invitation to the prize.
xx{Present}xx
"But Ace!" luffy protested within the string hold of his older brother. "My ride will be here soon, let go!" the teen cried out as he fruitlessly tried to get out of the hug his brother held him imprisoned to.
"Hold on, I'm almost done birthday boy." Ace replied for the fifth time that morning.
"Ah, Zoro, Sanji help me!" Luffy called with watery eyes twisting as well as he could within the grasp to reach out to his two best friends. The two, however, turned away from the scene, pretending not to hear the cries of the younger D brother, if they have learned anything while they stayed with them, is that you do not deny Ace his brotherly affections towards Luffy, Zoro learned that the hard way. He could still see the death glare the older brother gave him when he heeded Luffy's plea.
Thus Luffy was let go after a few more moments of being suffocated by Ace who wiped a playful tear from the corner of his eye. "Look at you Lu, nineteen years old and you haven't changed a bit." and as soon as that smile had appeared, it turned into a pout. "You sure you don't want to spend it at home?"
The letter Luffy had received for his prize had stated that he was the only one allowed to go on the trip to Seabody on the other side of town, and that of course had caused Ace to slump in the corner with a small cloud over his head, his finger tracing light patterns in the carpet as he muttered something about corporate records and ruining his day with Luffy.
It had taken Zoro and Sanji a while, but they managed to convince him that the idea of Luffy away for the day could work with to their advantage. And so the older brother had agreed to let Luffy go, so long as he texted every so often, there was no telling what sort of person this Surgeon was of course.
Shaking his head the smaller raven smiled, "I'll be fine Ace, plus this is the best birthday gift ever! I think mom sent it." he confessed in a hushed whisper earning a surprised, but soon warm look from Ace while he ruffled his hair fondly.
"Shishishi, don't worry so much Ace, I'll be fine I'll send you pictures to prove it too." The teen promised and gave his brother one last hug of his own accord, slipping away before he was caught in another of Ace's hugs.
Just then a horn called out from outside, and Luffy raced out waving to his brother and friends. "Bye! see you later!"
Law was tired.
He hadn't gotten much sleep last night, not that he usually did with all the things he had to do while on tour, but he got even less now that he had been told he lost his day to publicity.
Getting out of bed he showered, dressed and was downstairs earlier than Bepo, already drinking a large cup of coffee when the white haired man entered the kitchen.
A small timid smile was given by the taller man as he helped himself to a cup of Law's brew. "Good Morning Boss." Bepo murmured, his large brown eyes looking away before he asked, "Will you be okay, Boss?"
Law sighed and took a sip of his coffee, the burn down his throat soothing him as his shoulders rose and fell. "I don't know Bepo-ya, I stayed up most of the night reading that stupid file the bird brain gave me, and its all crap." he huffed.
"It just mentioned the kid's name and other useless stuff, nothing of real importance... Hey Bepo-ya, how do you do it? How are you friendly with people?"
At that the white haired man bowed his head and apologized. "I'm sorry Boss, it just comes naturally to me.. But um, maybe you should smile abit more, and um be friendly, pay attention to him don't ignore him or you'll seem rude."
Law nodded and thanked Bepo for the advice, excusing himself and heading out to meet with Doflamingo.
Needless to say Doflamingo gave no useful advice, and only chuckled when Law looked exasperated with the whole situation.
Ten minutes later Vergo pulled up in a sleek silver gray Cadillac, the door opening automatically for him to enter. With a last glare towards Doflamingo, Law climbed into the vehicle and crossed his hands over his chest. He was dressed casually, a long sleeved navy blue shirt with their smiley band logo upon his front clung to his torso nicely, and he wore his favorite worn spotted jeans, he was even sporting his newest purchased hat, a furry white domed hat with a soft bill circled with spots to match his pants. Law loved the hat already, it was custom made, and he was sure no one would ever be able to replicate it as they so loved to do.
The ride lasted twenty minutes before they pulled up in a moderate looking suburban neighborhood, the house before them seeming nice, 'well the candidate could have been worse off.' Law thought dismissively as Vergo gave a light honk from the wheel, resulting in two things.
The door bust open as a teen yelled his goodbye's and Law's gaze widened as he turned to the noise.
He had refused to see the picture Doflamingo had supplied, and Shaichi had given up after three attempts and a flick to his forehead. And as such he was unprepared to be faced with the boy that climbed into the car, Law got a glimpse of raven hued locks, large brown eyes, a grinning face with the most heart warming smile he had ever laid his eyes on.
"Hi my names Monkey D. Luffy. IT'S SO AWESOME TO MEET YOU!" The teen exploded with unrestrained enthusiasm as Law stared dumbly at the boy.
"Uh... yeah." was all he could manage to say as he remained enraptured by the beauty the other didn't seem to know he possessed. Shaichi had been right, he was definitely Law's type. The attitude on the other hand, Law frowned lightly then, composing himself as he scolded himself for acting so stupid, like hell he would even be interested in this kid, he just needed to get through this day and then he'd be free to be as anti-social as he wished.
So this was meant to be a one shot in celebration of Luffy's birthday on Tuesday [I'm posting early because I'm unsure if I'll get it out on Tuesday], but I think it will take more than one chapter to finish this, so I would like to ask you guys, what should they do on their day together? Give me your ideas to make this fic great?
Let me know what you think ^^ till next time!
