Summary: Luffy was adopted by Gold D. Roger because of a promise after Monkey D. Dragon died, Luffy isn't exactly the favorite. He finds this out on his fifth birthday, marking the second year he's lived with his new 'family'. The thing is, it's also the second year Ace and Gold D. Roger have forgotten his birthday.
Note: Sorry it's short; but I had to improvise. (Poll on my page) Anyway; this is the LAST chapter; but there WILL be a sequel! :) It'll be called Trafalgar D. Luffy and it will be about Luffy's new life with Law; check it out when I post it, the date when it will be uploaded is written on my profile.
Luffy was living with Trafalgar Law now; the older of the two had managed to come to a conclusion with the Child Protection Services. They had deemed it fair for Luffy to move in with Law despite Ace, Rouge, and Roger's protests. Also, they had decided it would be best for the child to chose; since they had no recorded or written evidence, which only made things more difficult. Eventually things worked out, and Luffy was now happily living with Law as his guardian.
It was surprising how everything fell into pace at such a fast speed; how everything became normal for them.
Maybe the biggest surprise was just how much trust Luffy had put into Law, which made him happy but worried at the same time; he knew he would never do anything to betray that trust, he just worried about other people who might; and he didn't want that.
Luffy didn't deserve to get hurt after being through so much, so Law decided he'd keep Luffy safe, as best he could; anyway.
Law' eyes drifted over towards the sleeping figure next to him; Luffy enjoyed sleeping next to Law, and would often crawl into bed with him at least four times a week. It didn't bother Law, because Law had been just as alone as Luffy had been; his only other family member was an older brother, but he was never home. He never really thought much about it, so he brushed it off.
His hand moved on its own and ruffled Luffy's hair when a cute whine left the child's mouth; this caused him to remember what happened just the other day, where they had been signing up at the East Blue Kindergarten; and Luffy had held onto his pant leg the whole time, hiding behind him shyly. It wasn't odd that Luffy hadn't been sure how to approach the matter, because he had never been taught anything like that before; had never socialized with anyone his age besides Zoro, who was only a couple years older than him.
Anyway, when the woman saw him; they squealed and immediately assumed he was Luffy's father.
Yes, that had been a hectic day indeed;
But it made him come to a certain realization; Luffy was family now; not that he's ever considered the boy as anything less; but it was different now, for some reason. It made him realize just how much of Luffy's trust had been put into him, and he worried about that; just how easy would it be for someone to come in out of nowhere and break that trust. Law had to protect Luffy from that, Law had to protect Luffy from everything and everyone; why? Because Luffy didn't need anymore pain within his life.
Not that he was finally free from that lonely prison of a house anyway.
Only after a month had Law began to realize just how much he had never noticed about Luffy; there were both good qualities and bad, like sometimes he forgets he's living with Law and becomes silent. He also tries to cook and manage things he shouldn't be doing at his age, he hasn't gotten hurt doing so yet; and Law planned on preventing that.
A good quality was his naturally good nature, because of it he was quick to making friends; and he always had this bright smile on his face now.
It made everyone around Luffy want to smile, including Law.
Law truly loved Luffy, as a little brother; that is. He loved the child just as much as Luffy loved him, because he had been just as lonely as Luffy had been. Law doesn't have any parents and a certain relative of his was never home, so before he met Luffy; the only thing he would do was go through a normal routine of getting up, eating breakfast, getting ready for school, going to school, coming back from school, studying, eating dinner, and then going to bed before repeating.
He liked not knowing what was coming next instead of going through an automatic routine.
Smiling fondly at he fought, he turned towards a sleeping Luffy and pulled the blankets up over his small shoulders; and, as if to remind him he wasn't alone, Luffy's sleeping body inched towards Law's and held him tightly.
Yes, everything would be fine; even as Luffy went by another name
Luffy's had a lot of different names in his lifetime, Law realizes.
Monkey D. Luffy was his first
Portgas D. Luffy was his second
And now, his third was Trafalgar D. Luffy
There's a poll on my profile; I'm asking whether or not I should write a fem luffy story, vote yes or no if you'd like. :)
Thanks for everything as the story progressed, whether it's good news or bad news, there WILL be a sequel :) 'Trafalgar D. Luffy'
