He bends over to lace his shoes, rising up again; he adjusts his tie so that is sites perfectly in the center. He takes one quick and final look at himself in the mirror, and smiles, satisfied with his appearance.

The door bell echoes through the apartment, with a triple thump coming in after. The pattern continues until the owner arrives at the door and swings it open with an annoyed look on his face. His guest greats him with a familiar smile, one he knew he couldn't stay mad at for long. His guest then jumps on top of him, causing him to lose his balance just slightly but he gains it right back and swings his arms around the said male clinging over his waist.

"Traffy!" his guest shouts out with glee.

"I was just about to call. What was taking you so long, Luffy?" Law asks, making his way to the couch and dropping them both down where Luffy continues to straddle over him.

"Ace needed help finding his other shoe. We looked all around the house and he even sent out Marco and Thatch to go out a buy some new ones." He explains

"You could have just called me you know; your brother and I are the same in size. So what happened? Did you guys end up finding it?"

Luffy starts chuckling "oh we found it all right…Shanks's dumb dog dug it up in the backyard, the whole thing was completely chewed up."

"That really sucks"

"Yeah, Ace looked like he was just about ready to shoot the dog; luckily Marco arrived just in time with a new pair."

"So everything is good then?" he says and brushes a strand of black hair behind Luffy's ear. "Is everything all good to go?"

Luffy jumps off of Law, checking the clock in the living room, he smiles to himself and heads into the kitchen.

Law could hear the sound of drawers opening and closing, plates hitting next to each other and quit possibly one being dropped to the ground. He hears Luffy apologize in the background as he dunks whatever it was he broke…again, into the trash. Law figures that he better go check and see what the damage was this time.

He stands at the edge of the kitchen entrance, watching as Luffy takes in a double stacked sandwich he made in just the short amount of time. Nothing looked too destroyed, maybe a dirty dish or two but other than that, everything was nice and tightly. Thank the lord because Law really didn't want to deal with wasting yet another Sunday cleaning up the entire kitchen. And since Luffy was soon to be moving in—finally after ten months of dating, it would now be him being the one to clean up after himself.

"By what time do you need to be at the church? Don't you need to take pictures before the ceremony?"

"The ceremony doesn't begin until 3 o'clock, and we're going to do photos after church, so we still have plenty of time until then!" Luffy explains happily. He places his empty dish into the sink and walks towards Law again, wrapping his arms around his waist and looking up at him with a seductive smile, "We have an extra two hours before everything starts."

Law leans forward and again brushing a long strand of hair behind his ear—damn thing was getting long— he locks their lips together, letting Luffy control the movement, until he then breaks away from the kiss.

They stand wrapped in each other's arms between the center of the kitchen and living room. Law looks down at his younger boyfriend and thinks about how much he really just wanted to carry him out of here and into the bedroom; they did have an extra two hours after all. And before even considering it, he knew it couldn't happen either way, he had somewhere else he needed to be in an hour.

"That's good for you, however I need to start heading out before it gets late" He kisses his nose and starts walking to his bedroom with Luffy following from behind "so you'll just have to enjoy your extra two hours without me."

Luffy jumps on top of their soon to be shared bed, sitting himself cross-legged with a confused look on his face as he watching his boyfriend insert his wallet and keys into his pockets.

"Are you going to pick up Daisy?" he asks.

"Yeah, Baby has to get her hair done before the wedding, so I need to get Daisy ready and we'll just head out from there right after."

"But I thought Kidd was going to take her instead?"

He stops what he was doing, and swings his body around to face directly at the boy seated on his bed. "What do you mean Kidd is taking her instead?"

"Didn't you get the call?" he questions, shifting his body to the edge of the bed so that his feet could now dangle at the bottom. Law shakes his head in confusion. "Kidd called me this morning saying that he go the day off. So not to worry about picking her up because he would take her instead and save you the trouble of driving all the way out there."

"Well I never got that call." He replies with a sassy remark in his tone.

"This is why you two need to communicate more with each other. He's a good guy Traffy; I seriously don't understand why you don't like him?"

It's been five months now since Baby and Kidd had started dating, things have been going excellent for them, hell things have been perfect to be more precise. Daisy loved Kidd, always clinging onto him whenever he'd stop by, not to mention the thousands of color drawings she would draw of him standing beside Law, Baby and herself. Yup, Baby was truly happy; for once in her life she had found someone who truly loved her…and her daughter.

A few months back, Baby had quit her underpaying job as a bar tender and found something more of her calling in a different restaurant that just so happened to be farther away. Kidd had suggested that the two should move in with him, that way she wouldn't have to be driving so fare constantly, and they could spend more time together as well. Of course knowing Baby, she was already packing her bags the second after, as for Daisy; well she was just as thrilled. As mentioned before, she absolutely loved Kidd.

It wasn't the fact that Baby was moving in with some guy she had only started dating for five months that made Law hate the man, normally that would be the case, and he really wished it was. The true fact was, Law hated Kidd because he was now stealing away his only family, and despite all the headaches they may have caused him from time to time, he had loved every minute it. He was no longer the only man in Daisy's life, and that irritated him to the bone.

In a way he was only being stubborn with himself.

The fact that they now lived an hour away from each other wasn't making it better. It had been a whole month since Law had last seen his sister and niece, and although it was nice living alone again, especially with him being in a serious relationship that involved a lot of intimate privacy, he still missed them like crazy. And who knows, maybe with Luffy moving in next week it would help ease that tension he had with Kidd, and maybe, just maybe he would allow himself to get along with the guy.

"So then I won't need to pick Daisy up?" he asks again, placing his keys on top of the night stand by the bed.

"Nope!" he says happily "we have two whole hours to ourselves."

Law walks over to where Luffy was seated, he gets in between his legs that his lover so kindly spreads for him, then wraps his arms around his shoulder and gently begins to pull on his hair from behind.

"Is that why you're not wearing your suit?" he leans in closer, "You came here with confidence?"

"I came here with a mission, and one I am sure to accomplish" pulling the doctor closer, he slams their lips together with force as they slowly begin to sink into the mattress below them. Hands trailing all around their bodies, sending waves of pleasurable shock up their spines until they soon begin to discard of each other's clothes little by little.

Both completely naked in bed with a thin sheet of fabric draped over them, Luffy moans pleasurably as his lover above continues to prep him. They were starting to collect sweat by the heated contact; Law exposing a glistening trail down his back by the fabric clinging over him. But soon everything stops, and Law swings Luffy's legs over his shoulder, trailing small kisses down his leg as he did so.

Luffy looks up at him with a lustful look, ready to be taken in for the hundredth time by Law, and all Law could do is lean in one last time to give his lover a passionate kiss before finally pushing in and making him completely his.

— ▽o▽o▽—

On the warm mid spring afternoon, rows of Christmas lights hang above trees and guests as they patiently wait for the newlyweds to arrive. It was a wonderful, simple wedding ceremony, both sharing their vowels and saying theirs I do's. Luffy being the best man carried the ring to Ace, almost tripping on a step for not getting his pants readjusted, and Nojiko being Nami's maid of honor who effortlessly handed her the ring without single fail.

While everyone gathered outside by their seats, strolling around and taking pictures at the hand maid photo booth Nami and her bridesmaids had prepared, Law stood by the refreshment table serving himself some fresh punch as he waiting for the main wedding attendees to arrive from taking photos. His back was turned from the activities behind him, and it wasn't until he soon felt something small and warm attack his leg with a tight hug that he turned around swiftly with a smile.

"Law!" Daisy squealed with excitement.

"Look at you and this nice dress you have." He lifts her up in his arms, "careful, people might begin to mistake you for the bride."

"I missed you, Law. Why haven't you come to visit me or mommy?" she says with a pout.

"I'm sorry sweetie; I've been very busy at the hospital" putting her back down, and squatting on his knees to be at her same level "but I promise when that's all done, ill drive straight over to you and mommy, deal?"

"Don't forget, Luffy! I want him to come too!"

"She's been asking for you all day ya know." Kidd comes walking smoothly from behind her, "Couldn't get her to stop squirming around during the entire ceremony."

Law stands up straight in front of Kidd, trying his hardest not to make things awkward—of course he was failing miserably at that. Daisy runs over to Kidd, who ends up picking her up and carrying her on one shoulder—his good shoulder as he would often call it.

Kidd sends a welcoming smile along with an extended hand. Law hesitates for a minute before giving in and shaking the man's hand, smiling back at him through mere habit. And to be perfectly honest, Kidd had absolutely no idea about the utter hatred Law had for him, to him, he saw Law like a good friend.

"Have the bride and groom arrived yet?" Kidd asked

"No, they're still out taking photos I believe. Should be another hour till they arrive."

"Seriously? Dang, I'm starving already…" he pouted with Daisy mimicking the same expression, "Heard Sanji and his dad are catering, can't wait to have some of their bomb food. Oh by the way, where are you sitting? We should all sit together!"

Of course Daisy began nodding her head in agreement with her eyes looking like they were beginning to sparkle like stars. And as odd it may be, Law didn't hesitate for a second with the offer. Maybe it was the wedding talking or Daisy standing next him or maybe even because he secretly likes Kidd as a person, whatever the reason may be, all Law knew was that he wanted nothing more than to be with them, with his family.

Law and Kidd were seated at their table chatting about some sports facts that Law knew very little about, however even then, he was still having a good time with the guy. Daisy ran off to play with Chopper and some other kids at the party, both men still keeping close eye on the little girl. A glass of wine was placed at their table along with a welcoming hello and hand on Law's shoulder. Law had to look up to see who the person was, before deciding if he should be creeped out or not.

"Never thought I'd ever see you having such a casually conversation with this guy."

"Hey Sanji. The food almost ready yet?" Kidd asked

"Wait till the beautiful bride arrives first!" he snaps, clearing out his throat to begin to speak again, "and besides, ladies will be swerved first before any of you unsophisticated men."

"What! You're even making your own husband go last?"

"Especially my husband." He says, pouring some wine into the glass cups for Kidd and Law. "That shitty marimo wouldn't understand the meaning of manners even if it came and kicked him in the head with an asteroid."

Kidd began to laugh at Sanji's joke that nobody else seemed to have found just as hilarious.

"So how is the remodeling going along?" Sanji casually asks, taking a seat next to Law "Ready to have new roommate?"

He takes a sip of the wine before answering, "Everything is going good. He just needs a couple more of his things and he's done."

"Well as long as everyone one is happy." Pulling out a cigarette from his suit, "Nami and Ace get to enjoy their own place as newlyweds and you and Luffy get to live together. It all works out perfectly, right?"

"Yup. Very perfectly." Is all he simply says.

Soon a large crowd began to applaud with celebratory excitement, welcoming in the newlyweds and their court of honors as they each pull out of the cars. Law, Sanji and Kidd rise from their seats and begin to clap along as they watch the couple make their way to the center of the dance floor hand in hand—that is until Ace decided to scoop Nami up in the true bridal style form.

The crowd begins to full on cheer with more rage, claps getting longer and whistles getting louder—mainly by the blond who was seated beside Law. Right behind Ace followed the rest of the honorary guest, starting from best man/ girl to the rest of the bridesmaids/ groomsmen. They all stand to the side as they watch Ace and Nami steal the spot light that they so solemnly deserved that evening, claps grow louder but soon slowly die down and Ace makes a final bow before stealing his new wife to their table.

All the ladies were now lined up at the food area, getting their plates filled with delicious foods all while being graciously charmed by the handsome blond that they all knew was gay and happily married.

Law is attacked by yet another hug that day, this time it came from behind as a piggy back and was built with a lot more force than the last one. He knew exactly who it belonged to.

"Did ya miss me?" Luffy says with a wide smile, then placing a quick kiss on the man's check.

Law turns around to meet his shorter boyfriend and damn what a sight it was. It wasn't every day that he got to see Luffy sporting a nicely fitted, fancy black suit. Earlier that day he had only got to see him with his red blouse on, nothing more over that, however now seeing him suited up and looking absolutely sexy as hell, Law wanted nothing more than to get him out of that suit and into his bed. Luckily he was his ride home, so it would definitely not be a problem to do just that after.

"Of course I did." wrapping his arms around him, "what took you all so long? I thought you guys were going to take photos by that one lake 10 minutes away?"

"We did, but Zoro was the one driving the car after" he chuckles, "We were already leaving town until Nami made him pull over and kicked him out of the seat so she could drive."

"I don't know why you guys let him drive in the first place." Law says, sitting back down on his seat and pulling Luffy along with him so that he now sat on his lap.

"Hey, it wasn't my idea. Ace was the one who suggested it."

"Having Zoro drive, and letting Ace decide are already bad decisions right there"

"Oi!" says an irritated Zoro who was standing right behind the couple. "The hell you guys saying about me?"

"Relax Zoro. Here take a seat, we were only joking." Luffy says with a laugh, pulling out a chair for the green haired man.

"Hey, what's up Luffy! How you been? Long time no see." Kidd says, sitting back down on his seat next to Law and Luffy. He was just coming back from checking on Daisy, who was now standing next to Baby in line for food.

"Kidd!" he says with excitement, "wow, it's good to see ya man. How's your shoulder doing? Baby mentioned during the photo shoot that you had got surgery two months ago because of some motorcycle accident?"

Law knew about Kidd's bad shoulder, but he never knew that it was because of a motorcycle accident and one that required surgery. Why didn't Baby ever mention anything to him about Kidd—oh yeah, maybe because he always chose to ignore the parts when she would mention his name. Damn, talk about acting like a total asshole; he definitely owed Kidd an apology now.

"Yeah, some fucker in a truck decided to not check is stupid mirrors before pulling back, knocked me straight out of the bike and straight to the ground." Rubbing his left arm, "never ate shit so bad in my life" he jokes after.

Luffy and Kidd continue to talk about the accident, picking out potential days to all take a trip and go out bike riding when his physical therapy ends. Law would invite himself into the conversation from time to time, but rather enjoy himself listening to the two male's talk none stop to each other about broken bones and dirt bikes. Zoro had long since gone to annoy his husband in front of all the ladies now beginning to dance; it was quite a show watching the bickering couple argue contently.

"So Lu, how are the kids treating you?" Kidd asks as he took a chug of his wine that was pretty much empty. "Do they find it strange that you're now their full day teacher instead of after school?"

"My students are awesome! I love being their teacher!" he smiles widely, and so does Law because he knew how much Luffy loved to talk about his job as a preschool teacher and especially his tiny young students. "I have a lot of paper work and lesson plans that I need to set up and complete, but for what it's worth, I wouldn't change it for anything else in the word."

"Then I wish you the best of luck, Luffy. Maybe sometime you and Law could come over and tutor Daisy for us." He jokes and soon raises his cup along with Luffy and cling there glasses together as they take a final chug of wine. Law still holds onto his partner, overhearing the conversation slightly, but focusing his attention more on the happy newlyweds that were now starting their first slow dance.

A soft calming melody begins to play as the pair sways their pressed bodies to the tune. More couples begin to gradually join in to the dance floor, allowing the captivating tune of the violin entrance them in the feel of the moment. Robin and Franky joined in, holding each other close as they shared a deep loving look to one another. And it was definitely true what they said about Brooks music being hypotonic— with a way of bring people together— because not a moment after, Sanji was dragging Zoro to the dance floor, both wearing an unpleasant look until they nested they arms around their shoulders and waist, Sanji resting his head on Zoro's chest, as the other rested his over the blond soft blond hair, shutting their eyes in satisfaction as they danced to the inviting music.

Baby came after to steal Kidd away, they left for a dance with Daisy in-between them, however it never bothered them on bit. All that was left was Law and Luffy, and the doctor knew he had to make a move fast before the song ended, but in all honesty, he was seriously nervous to ask. This would be the first time in all their ten months of dating to share an official dance together, and although he knew he was an excellent dancer, being with Luffy in a situation such as this, in front of many people, made him foot shy.

He pushed that aside though, and took a deep breath to calm his nervous. Clearing out a cough, he decided to just go straight forward and ask Lu—

"Traffy, let's go and dance!"

And just like that, the moment was taken away from him, and he was now standing on the center of the stage around friend and family, sharing his first dance with the one boy he deeply loved. Surprising he wasn't at all a bad dancer either, if anything he might even had been slightly better than Law, but just slightly.

— ▽o▽o▽—

To end the night as lively as it started, it was soon time for Ace and Nami to toss the traditions items to the crowd to none married couples. Ace went first. With his teeth and a crowd of howling men behind him, he peeled the lacy garter off Nami's leg, swinging it around victoriously after. Law and Luffy followed by a massive group of other men squeezed together behind Ace, playfully pushing and shoving each other away so that they could be the lucky man to catch the piece of fabric and share a dance with one of the many gorgeous none married ladies.

He stretched the garter as much as it possibly could and flung it up in the air, watching slowly as it came back down and soon disappeared in the dog pile of desperate men. Law didn't even try to catch the garter; he figured that if he caught it than he caught it, no reason having to make a fool of himself in front of a crowd, all for a piece of already used fabric.

Everyone began to cheer as an arm stretched out in the distance showed off the garter in his hand. Law couldn't get a good look at who the guy was; all he knew for sure was that it definitely wasn't Luffy and he knew this because the said boy was currently sulking his way over to him carrying nothing in his hands. He leaned against a tree and Luffy stood in front of him leaning his back to rest on his chest, both now watching as the final show began.

Nami stood above a chair, turning her back to the single women in the crowd. She held onto her bouquet nice and tight, thinking up the best possibly way to throw it.

And it didn't appear at all like it was going to end up as playful game, if anything; they all wore the exact expression on their face, one that screamed death and ready for war. To the girl, that's what this was. War.

She tossed the bouquet behind her shoulder, hearing the yells and squeal of the girls so desperately trying to stretch their arms out to catch the assorted arrange of flowers. The squeals stopped though, with small whines being made here and their but soon after turned into cheers. Nami smiled triumphantly at her winner, calling her over to congratulate her with a hug.

Law and Luffy begin walking over to the crowd to watch the pair initiate their shared dance. Traditionally it is stated that the lucky ones who so happen to catch the garter and bouquet are next ones in line to getting married— it was no wonder why a lot of single women loved the game so much.

The soft music begins to play as everyone else watches. Law finds Daisy standing on top of a table, trying to catch a glimpse of the pair. He startles her as he picks her up and carries her over his shoulder so that she could get a perfect view.

"Thank you, Law" she says.

"Where is your mom?" he asks, scanning the crowd and hoping to at least find a ball of bright red hair.

"She's over there"

"Where?"

"There" she now starts to point with her finger.

"Found Waldo." Luffy says standing next to him, shoving a piece of cake into his mouth. He was starting to point with his fork in the same direction as Daisy.

"I don't see—shit; you've got to be kidding me."

On the dance floor, right where Law's eyed were currently glued, danced Baby and Kidd. They stood close, Baby resting her head over Kidd's chest as he held her with such passion and care. They looked happy… she looked happy and above all, so did Daisy. And Law had no intention of taking that away from them, not now, not ever.

Truth is, no family is ever perfect. Everyone argues, fights, and sometimes even stop talking to each other at times… but in the end, family is family and the love will always be there.

"Are you mad?" Daisy asked.

"No, I'm not mad. I'm very happy" he smiles; bring his hand to Luffy's and locking them together. Like his own story, theirs was just beginning as well.

"I'm very happy too, Uncle Law"
