Summary: After getting stabbed in a gang fight Sarquiess and Eddie take Bellamy to get patched up by Law, a black market surgeon. Unfortunantly for him, when he wakes up he meets a rather annoying child n a strawhat.

It was around dawn when his friends, Sarquies and Eddie dragged him to Law's clinic for a patch job. Bellamy's gang had gotten into a fight with another gang, and a few of the apposing members were stronger then they thought, and even though they won the fight, they're leader still got banged up pretty badly, few small cuts, handful of bruises, and a deep cut that would need stitches. Needless to say, a few young trouble makers knew about Law's black market clinic, since he stayed tight lipped about they're injuries, and Bellamy's gang were repeat patients. The gang leader had been bleeding quite a bit, and had passed out from lack of blood by the time they got there, but as Law put it, he wasn't in critical condition, and would just need to rest for awhile, but had better stay for a few days.

It was around noon when the blond began to stir, at first it was sorta like he was frozen where he laid, he could hear muffled noises, but his body was still too worn out to wake up completely. Law must of had him on pain meds, because he wasn't hurting as much as he was suppose to, it too him a bit, but Bellamy managed to wake himself up, when he opened his eyes he had to blink a few times to get them focused. He was met with a few familiar sights, the black market doctor had a room were patients could rest for a while not too far from were he, and his helpers, as he called them, did surgery. The room he was in was dull to say the least, there were ten beds, each one had curtains that would go around them, luckily the room had windows so it didn't seem to gloomy.

Once all his senses were back to normal, Bellamy noticed something, he felt like he was being watched for some reason. The teen slowly propped himself up again the head board of the bed a little to get a better look around, all the while ignoring the jolts of pain, and that's when he noticed someone at the door of the room. It was a kid, probably around 10 or so, he was peeking around the door frame, staring right at him, the boy's large ebony black eyes stared straight into Bellamy's chocolate brown ones, and the hyena cocked a brow Who the hell was this kid, he knew Law had a sibling, but last he checked, the surgeon had a sister, not a little brother, so that couldn't be it. A patient maybe?

"Luffy," the young surgeon said breaking the silence and getting they're attention, "I told you to stay in the waiting room and wait for your brothers," the white patched teen said walking up behind the younger boy, "But it was boring there, and I forgot my gameboy at home today," the kid said coming out of hiding, Bellamy blushed a bit, the kid was kinda cute, to be honest. It wasn't long before Law notice the teen was awake, "Oh, I see your awake, was he bothering you?" Law asked, and Bellamy shook his head, "Nah, but his staring was starting to creep me out a bit." Luffy, where had Bellamy heard that name? It sounded familiar.

The boy named Luffy tilted his head as the older teen placed a hand on his head, "Luffy, I've told you before not to bother the people in this room," the boy looked up at him, "I know, I'm sorry," he apologized, "Go back to the waiting room and wait for your brothers."

"But Ace an Sabo don't get out of school or another 2 hours." the kid whined pouting.

"Well that's what happens when you play hooky only to get hurt," Law said scooting Luffy in the direction of the waiting room, the child groaned but walked back to the other room leaving the two teens. "You seem pretty friendly with the short stack, he a regular or something?" the blond asked as Law leaned again the door frame.

"You could say that, his names Monkey D. Luffy, one of the ASL Trio," Thats where he had heard it, the ASL Trio were a small band of trouble makers in the red light district, and despite they're ages, the three were crazy strong, and well known among the younger gangs. "Thought his name sounded familiar," Bellamy chuckled.

"Anyways, have you heard from your friends yet?"

"Not yet, how are my wounds?"

"No broken bones, but that stab in your side was pretty bad, didn't seem like a normal one either, what he get you with? Butterfly, hunting knife?"

"A big ass kitchen knife..."

Law cringed at the thought, "Ouch, well I'd advise you stay a few days to make sure your wound won't open up or get infected." he walked over to the bed.

Bellamy groaned, "C'mon man, you can't expect me to stay in this room all day, there's nothing to do!"

"Your not suppose to be doing anything, your suppose to be in bed, so stop complaining..." the young doctor clicked his forehead making the blond flinch and growl. "I wouldn't complain if you'd just get a t.v. in here..." that earned him another flick. "I'll bring you some magazines and something to eat, so stop whining you big baby."

Law did as he said he would, and brought his patient a few things to read, and some rice balls and pork dumplings to eat, which weren't half bad, for a doctor, he was a surprisingly good cook. The blond teen relaxed, pretty much giving up on trying to get the black market doctor to let him out early, his forehead was hurting too much from getting flicked every time he tried to argue. He read Travel Time magazine, and ate his food quietly and without complaint.

Though it wasn't long before he felt someone watching him again, and of course, he looked up to find Luffy staring him with his big doe eyes, and from his drooling, he wanted Bellamy's food. The boy watched every move the teen made, and it was getting both awkward, and annoying. "Hey kid," Luffy flinched, "C'mere," the boy walked up to the bed curiously, and Bellamy held out a rice ball to him, "Take it and go away." A huge smile spread across the boys face, and he took the rice ball happily, "Thank you!"

"Now scram," The blond gang leader barked shooing the boy away, but Luffy was listening because the boy was too busy shoving the food in his mouth to pay attention. Bellamy sighed and took a drink of his orange juice, "Wanna be my friend?" he almost choked on his drink, "W-What...?" he coughed out hoping he had heard the boy wrong. "Do you wanna be my friend?" Luffy smiled, "I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and when I get older I'mma be a gang leader, your Bellamy right?" This kid was honest and blunt to say the least, but his talking didn't stop there, not even close "Are you a gang leader? Is that how you got hurt? Was it in a fight with another-"

"Would you shut up!?" Bellamy snapped at him his last nerve being tested,"Geeze your so annoying! Would you just go away!?"

Luffy took a step back, his eyes wide and filling with tears, "Why can't we be friends...?" he whimpered out, "Because I don't want to be friends with some bratty little kid, now beat it before I get mad!" the teen shouted. "But I wanna be your friend..." Luffy whimpered pouting. "...Why?" now he was confused.

"Why not?" the boy let out small whimpers trying not to cry, his face was scarlet red. Bellamy let out another sigh, usually seeing a kid cry wouldn't bug hi, but for some reason, and kid he just met made him feel like the biggest dick hole in the world. "C'mere..." a pair of large tanned hands gently wrapped around the boys waist and he was lifted onto the bed. The child was nestled against the teens chest and his little hands were clinching to the light blue hospital gown. His back was rubbed gently, as he was calmed down by the teenage gang leader.

The blond let another sigh as Luffy started to calm down, and not long after did the child fall fast asleep against him, his little hands still gripping the light blue martial.

"Aw how cute!" Bellamy looked at the door to see La leaning against it with the biggest jack ass grin his white patched face could mae.

"Oh shut up..."

"You really are a creampuff, tough on the outside, sweet and soft on the inside." The teens face turned bright red at the doctors taunts.

"Yea yea Dr. Jack ass..." Bellamy huffed, "Mind helping me detach this kid from my person...?"

"Nope sorry," Law grinned.

"Your enjoying this arent you...?"

"Very much so"

"I hate you..."
