While Law was changing Luffy jumped onto the bed trying to get his boyfriend's attention and when he did he told the tattooed man that he's going to wait for him in the car. The older just nodded but he didn't hear Luffy's steps leaving the bedroom, just the matress moving under the teen's weight.
"Luffy?"
Law looked in the mirror in front of him knowing he can see Luffy on the bed like this. The boy's expression was hard to read but his eyes had an intense spark. The surgeon smirked knowingly.
"What are you doing, Luffy?"
"Err.. admiring you?" More like admiring his back. Luffy had to dig his nails into the sheets trying to surpress the urge of attacking Law's back with his nails and teeth. Law knows Luffy's obsession with his back very well and he couldn't hide his proud smile.
The teen's cheeks went crimson the moment he heard Law's (not so) subtle chuckle. He's been caught.
Well damn! Who can blame him? There's no person that wouldn't be mesmerized by such a sight.
"Later.." Luffy mumbled shaking his head while telling himself he'll have time for Law's back after the sun goes down.
"I'm going now. Don't take too long, alright?" Law only nodded trying hard not to chuckle again at the boy's flushed face although it doesn't really work judging by the way Luffy puffed his cheeks before leaving the room.
What a guy. Can't even hide his fantasies..
After the surgeon was done changing and left the bedroom, he patted Bepo and played with him for a few minutes until he realized Luffy's still waiting for him in the car. Well, not really because when he made it to the car he found Luffy asleep, his head resting on the window. Typical..
The man knocked on the window in a not so gentle manner startling Luffy who accidentally pressed the car's horn which startled him even more.
"What the..?"
Law made his way around the car sighing at the idiot he calls his boyfriend. He sat next to Luffy waiting for him to say something about their destination.
"What took you so long? I almost fell asleep." The surgeon raised an eyebrow.
"Almost? You were drooling on the door. Anyway, where are we going?"
"To the hospital."
Law panicked for a second.
"Why? Is there something wrong?"
Luffy smiled not saying a word. However, Law's eyes demanded answers and most people can feel Law's gaze on them from miles away which is something the teen usually enjoys. He likes it when Law watches him, gives him all his attention, but right now he's not that content. He can't just ignore those wide, almost-golden eyes looking at him like that.
"Well.. I have to see Chopper. His shift started a few hours ago but my visit won't take long, so please wait for me in the car, okay?"
Law can easily see that Luffy is not telling him something. That big mouth of his can't really hide stuff but he agreed. He's not fond of seeing Luffy uncomfortable.
And just like Luffy said, it didn't take long. When they arrived at the hospital the teen jumped out of the car, disappeared in a matter of seconds and came back in less then five minutes. What the heck is going on?
"What was that all about? There's no way you came here to see Chopper. You always spend hours when you're with a friend, no matter where you are."
"You're forgetting the fact that it's your birthday. Today is all about you. Here, take this."
Luffy extended his arm and resting in his palm was a white envelope with Law's name on it. Luffy's eyes are sparkling again.
"What is it?"
"Your second present."
The younger boy spoke with an almost trembling voice. Mostly from anticipation. He couldn't wait to see Law's face. He knows it's going to be priceless.
Despite all that, Law looked at his boyfriend with a skeptical look. A present? He had to go to the hospital to get his hands on a second present? Hospital, present, these words don't make sense when put together.
"Just take it."
Law kept his thoughts for himself and took the envelope. He opened it and extracted a piece of paper from inside. His thoughts from earlier will soon make sense.
World Congress 2015, Barcelona
To: Trafalgar D. Water Law
"Luffy, is this..?" Now it is Law's voice that's trembling.
"It's an invitation to that medical congress you wanted to go to. Chopper helped me get my hands on it. It's going to take place in about a month in Barcelona and even though I'm going to miss you terribly, I hope you'll enjoy your time there."
"But how did you know? I don't recall talking about the congress with you."
"You did actually but because I'm not interested in medical stuff, you always assumed I wasn't listening. I was.." A big, proud smile took over Luffy's face and Law looked at him like an idiot.
Just how much can one person love somebody? Because right now Law's heart is about to burst. Of course, Luffy's presence would have been enough to make Law happy on his birthday, he didn't need a present to feel loved and love back but this day really is opposite of what he imagined. Also, he never imagined Luffy to be such a thoughtful person. He didn't give him material things. Things that might become useless in a few years, nothing like that. He did the impossible and found Bepo and now he's giving him something that might change his career. This is an important event that will surely count whenever someone decides to check Law's achievements in his career.
"This boy, I swear to God.." Law mumbles not really caring that Luffy can hear him. He does and his smile gets even larger if possible.
"Brace yourself, the day is not over!" The teen stated starting the engine.
"What?" There's no way I'll be able to take more.
"How about we go for lunch somewhere?" Luffy doesn't expect an answer from Law. This time he chooses to ignore him and his intense looks. He only pays attention to road and thinking about what's about to happen.
Seeing that Luffy has no intention of responding him he turns his head towards the invitation in his hands. Still can't believe it. He's been hoping for one of these for months and he was quite dissapointed when he's been informed that there no more invitations. The strange thing is that the invitation he's currently holding has his name on it which means that Luffy and Chopper made sure he'll be an important guest there. Law has some pretty impressive achievements of his own but he doubted his reputation made it all the way to Europe. Law made a mental note to thank Chopper for helping Luffy with this.
The boys drove in silence for ten more minutes. When Luffy stopped the car, Law was still lost in his thoughts.
"Babe?"
"Hm?"
"We're here.."
"Oh.."
They were in front of a restaurant, quite a fancy one Law might add and Luffy wasted no time. He was out of the car in a split second. This boy and his appetite..
"C'mon Law!"
"I'm coming.."
"By the way, I need you to put these on. Please, no complaints."
In Luffy's hands rested some blindfolds and Law frowned as soon as he saw the thing.
"You gotta be-" Luffy made a face and the surgeon remembered what the boy has just said. No complaints, huh? So he knew that he was going to protest. Damn kid. "No pranks, alright?"
"Pinky swear!"
Luffy put the blindfold on Law and took his hand. Once inside the building, Law felt a very pleasant, warm atmosphere. So he wondered why Luffy blindfolded him. What could possibly be waiting for him in a restaurant? The boy guided him carefully and when they stopped walking, Luffy told the birthday boy to sit down.
He really hopes Luffy won't pull a stupid prank and tell him to sit down when there's actually no chair. Luckily, there is. Okay, so nothing that classifies as 'Luffy's sense of humour' so far.
The thing is that as soon as he sits on the chair and lets his arms rest on the table, he feels a hand touching his. It can't be Luffy's hand. Both his hands are on his shoulders.
I'm gonna skin him alive if this is a prank-
"I'm going to take the blindfold off your eyes now, okay?" Luffy's voice sounded.. emotional? That's weird. Why would that be? Law simply nods, curious as he is now.
And he goes from curious to shocked as he sees his family right in front of him. The surgeon forgot how the process of breathing works.
Easy now, inhale, exhale.. But who can blame him? This is by far the biggest shock he had since Luffy dragged him out of bed. It's been years since he last saw his parents and his sister. They are living in Tokyo and Law moved to America years ago and he never saw them again after that. Yeah, they call each other as often as possible but it's still not the same as being face to face.
A few tears are blurring Law's vision and before he can clear it he's in his parents' embrace. They all got up for a family moment. Law hugs his sister tightly and after that he finally notices that there's one more person who came to see him. Those pink feathers can only belong to him.
"Uncle..?"
"Law, my dear nephew."
If it wasn't for that unique creepy smile Law would think that Luffy finally pulled that prank he was expecting earlier. His uncle, Doflamingo, came to see him? This guy's purpose in life is to annoy Law, it's always been like that but this time his creepy smile seems somehow.. sincere, genuine..
"Brat, I gotta admit I missed you a little bit." Doflamingo's signature smile isn't going anywhere and even if Law didn't miss that stupid smile, he did miss his uncle.
"Really? I can't believe you actually said that. Anyway, how come you're alon-"
A voice. A very familiar voice came out of nowhere.
"Laaaaaw, my precious nephe-auch!"
Everyone turned towards the entrance and 'everyone' means the whole restaurant. There he is. Black feathers, pink hearts, weird make-up, the freak Law adores so much.
"He tripped." Luffy was holding his tummy while laughing with his entire body.
"So I take it he was just late..?" It's a rethorical question. Of course he's late. It's Cora-san after all."
Lamie and Law's parents were laughing along with Luffy, Law looked a bit perplexed and Doflamingo's face was screaming 'There's no way I'm related to this idiot.'
The birthday boy sighed and went to help his uncle up. After that everyone settled at the table. There are so many things Law wants to discuss with everyone, including his annoying amd arrogant uncle.
No one knows how many hours passed since they started talking but at some point Law put his palm on Luffy's back trying to get his attention. When he did, he noticed how the boy looked at him with love and adoration in his eyes and couldn't help giving him one quick peck and then he kissed his temple so he can whisper afterwards.
"When we get home I'll make sure to repay you for everything you've given me today. Just you wait, baby.."
While speaking Law's hand went lower and grabbed the boy's ass. Seeing the look in those golden eyes, Luffy knew he was in for a long night. Very long, very intense night.
Well guys, I hope you liked this little story for Law's birthday. ^^
