Makoto smiled, happy that what she said to him was alright. Her face flushed slightly. “I’m glad to hear that, makes me feel good to know we feel the same.” She said as she grabbed her bathroom items from her backpack, heading into the bathroom. She shut the door behind her, not feeling afraid to lock it like she had with others before.
Getting into the shower, the warm water on her body felt nice. Especially after the long day they had during their travels to this place. She stood for a moment, letting out a long sigh as she washed her hair.
After she was done, she put shorts and a tank top on her hair was still in a towel. She opened up the bathroom door and smiled at Law, seeing him sitting on the bed. “All yours.”

“Yeah,” Law gave a nod. It was good that their feelings were mutual, they worked well together after all.
“All yours.”
Maybe it was because of the drinking recently, but Law initially thought Makoto meant that she was all his, not that the shower was now that she finished using it.
“Right, I’ll see you in a bit then,” he spoke as he excused himself. As he washed himself, he took the time to think with his shower throughs, with some clarity he had to act on before the window of opportunity passed.
He probably will regret things either way, but he’d regret it more if he didn’t try and missed his chance to see where they stood, and where they could stand in the future. Law had decided it was naïve to cling to the hope that he’d return to his world and his crew, so rip the band-aid off and finally settle down in this world of chakra shinobi, and if it was with someone, it would be her.
When he got out of the shower, Law made sure he did not put a shirt on as he got into bed with her. It was a test: if Makoto was uncomfortable, he’d sense it right away and back off. But if there was any attraction beyond workmates, then he would go all in if she was willing to as well.
After he went into the bathroom, she took down her hair and dried it off, brushing her long teal locks. She braided her hair back to keep it out of the way for the night, the braid went down almost to her butt.
She laid back on the bed and just thought about everything that had happened lately. Her life was genuinely very quiet before she met Law but finding him started to fill a void she felt inside of herself. She had never felt any type of feelings towards anyone before, so this was new for her. The only things she had ever read before was out of her romance novels.
She got comfy on the bed, laid there relaxing as she waited for him to finish his shower. The door opened, her eyes looked over and her violet hues widened. He was shirtless.
Sure, she had seen him shirtless before, especially after she helped him heal his wounds before; but this was different. They were in another village, alone in a hotel room together. She tried so hard not to react, but she knew that she was staring at him; her pale cheeks burning pink. She felt her pulse spike and her heart race.
