Snippet:
Natasha mimics your crossed arms, one eyebrow remaining thoroughly tugged closer to her hairline. “I certainly don’t want to take over for your conscience, but do you think this is a good idea?”
“I’m far too damaged for a relationship, Natasha, and you know it”, you present her with a forced smile, eyes as cold as always when you talk about this. “And Bucky … he’s just as big of a mess as I am. I don’t think we’re running the risk of breaking each other’s hearts.”
I just want to make a post to point out how Law being a doctor is not anecdotal.
Like, it’s shown in the anime that it’s his parents profession and he started to learn young and all but the Light Novel made me realize how important being a doctor is to him and how much pride and happiness it brings him.
It’s not just something about him, being a doctor is something that defines him and is very important for his character.
He studies tones when he gets the time, he even worked in a doctor office for multiple years when he was younger after Cora’s death.
He started saving people’s life at a very young age and carried out very complex surgeries very young. He’s literally a genius in this domain and it’s too bad it’s not shown enough in the anime.
The doctor he was working with told him how good he was and how much potential he had at just 13/14yo. He was born for this.
When he saved the lives of the people he loved he was filled with this euphoria that he saw his parents get before him, he understood their joy and felt connected to them and proud of himself.
He founds himself in being a doctor, he loves saving lives and is proud of how capable he is. He is able to make the most of his ope ope no mi thanks to his talent and hard work.
Law may be a pirate but he is also a doctor and he wouldn’t see himself being anything else than that.
worldcafe: I talked to @hozier about his new ep #EatYour Young and you can hear it on @WorldCafe! First interview where I've gotten to talk about Dante's Inferno AND Beowulf (usually it's one or the other)... also look he's tall, I'm small. - @rahrahraina (Session & Podcast link in bio)
I want to know how Hozier's brain works. Like, how do you come up with a metaphor for gluttony that's also about the destruction of the planet and the disposability of young people within the war industry??? AND it's also a bop??? Sir???

So, I have already told about adventures lived by Law and Reader being already a couple, or when they were nothing more than nakamas and even how Law proposed to her. But… How did they become a couple in the first place?
Well, you see…
It’s (Name)’s birthday, and of course the whole crew including Law knew. Law, as shy as always, stayed in his office for as long as he could. The memories of the day when he was turned into a baby and woke up -naked- over his crush still haunt him...
He asked her to please let him stay like that, and she told him to do so. But things turned in a different direction than what he had expected… The whole crew came running to (Name)’s room. Law, covered by a thin sheet, the only one that Bepo left when he ran away, felt in heaven spell bound by his lover's scent. Until everybody shouted, excited, “CAPTAIN! you are an adult again!”... In a minute Law shambled himself out of your room. You, astonished, were left alone by your nakamas the very moment they realized what they had interrupted.
“I should calm myself down… I’ve been avoiding (Name)-ya for some days… It’s just not ok. It’s her birthday today… I should give her something special” Law repeats himself, spinning from side to side on his chair. He takes several attempts but on the tenth he finally stands up. Walking straight to the door, like a true man, convinced he could go and wish his crush a happy birthday, he stops right at the exit.
“Fuck. I need a plan”
Law, who loves to think about every step he will take to do certain tasks, begins massaging his earlobe. He plays with one of his golden earrings, burning his head into thinking what’s a good present for you. He doesn’t want to go and buy a simple thing on a random island, no. Law never does gifts, but (Name) was certainly special.
But the true reason behind his fear was no other than the fact that they never got to speak about that -close- situation a few nights ago.
“Captain!” Bepo knocks on his door. He freezes for a second until realizes it’s just his brother. “Come in, Bepo”. The polar bear enters and stands still. “Captain! You look miserable! It’s Name’s birthday, aren’t you coming? She's gonna blow the candles in a minute. I know you don’t like cake, but you know… for her” Bepo tells him, looking at the ground, probably a little disappointed from Law’s actions. The captain notices right away, and realizes he is being not only selfish, but also a little coward. Law softly pushes Bepo to the door, and after taking his hat off, he leaves the room.
In the kitchen, (Name) is sitting on Law’s usual spot so she could be in the very middle. Around her, his nakamas waiting for him to arrive so they could sing “Happy Birthday” to her.
Law and (Name)’s sights crossed, and a subtle smile drew on her face. He was there, too. The most important person was there for her. Law quickly breaks eye contact; he looks straight to the table where a little plate with two onigiris were specially reserved for him. (Name)-ya always remembers small details about me.
The surgeon's heart beats a little too strong. Could it be? Is she…? Is she in love with me too?...
Once the birthday chant was over, and (Name) took just a single second to make her wishes before he could blow the candles, it was time for the hugs…
Bepo, garchuu’ed her. Penguin and Shachi attacked her with lots of tickles. Everybody hugs and congrats her. And it’s time for Law to do it. She stays on her seat, she doesn’t want to make him uncomfortable, yet she wants a hug, so much. And he does too.
But shyness and Law’s trembling limbs only allowed him to place a tattooed hand over her shoulder. A soft, low whisper “H-happy birthday, (Name)-ya”. The disappointment in her eyes at such a cold salute, broke Law’s heart… but after all, it was all his fault.
The party goes by for at least two hours more, the sun begins to hide and the orangey tones of its set stop filtering through the several hatches of the Polar Tang. Law couldn’t think about anything else during the whole party… What am I gonna give her? Should I tell her?. His earlobe turned red from the times he played with his earrings while thinking.
Penguin, who has been noticing Law’s weird conduct, tells him to follow him to the control room. Law, relieved his friend tried to save him from the social interaction, follows him right away.
“Are you dumb?” Pen asks his captain, hitting the table in the middle of the control room. Law, surprised by a sudden burst of insubordination -yet, realizing it was his brother, not his nakama who was talking to him- asks “WHY?”.
“Why? I thought you had any brains in there!” Pen, annoyed, keeps attacking him. “Penguin, why the fuck are you treating me like this?”. His friend, frowning, walks up to him pointing his index finger to him.
“If you don’t man up, I swear I’m gonna make her fall in love with me, Law!”
Law gasps, and instead of getting mad he stands still looking at his brother. Glossy eyes, trembling lips. “What am I supposed to do, Pen? You know I have absolutely no clue… What if she leaves me?”.
“You know her more than any of us, it’s as simple as it is. Just go and tell her. Not everyone you love will leave you, Law. No one ever did. Your family didn’t leave you, Cora either. They were and will always be here with you even if you can’t see them. We won’t leave you, she from every person in this submarine won’t leave you. Go.Tell.Her”.
And that’s exactly what Law needed to hear, and so that was how he ended up knocking at her door…
“(Name)-ya, can we talk for a second?...”
She jolts, a shiver running through her spine. (Name) stands up from bed, Ikkaku on her side only giggled. She knew… “Law has finally grown a pair of balls, (Name)” she says, while you walk to the door, limbs weak.
“Would you… come with me… outside?” he stutters. She takes a breath and nods. The walking through the metallic halls of the submarine seems eternal. Law climbs the ladder first and stretches his arm to help her climb too. The soft interlocking of fingers as he pulls her out, feels electric.
A starry night, a storm approaching from the east over the grand line. A bright moon, silver shine bathing them. The sea around the Polar Tang, making the docked ship softly rock.
“(Name)-ya… take a seat” he says, pointing to a little sheet spread over the deck. She, still not speaking, obeyed the orders of her captain. He sits next to her, his tattooed arms hugging his knees. Perhaps it was Law’s unconscious attempt of wanting to hide.
He takes a little time to speak, until some words get out of his mouth… “I’m sorry…”. grey eyes reflecting the moon, as he fixes his eyes towards the celestial body. She looks at him, amazed by the beautiful way the silver shine mixes with his steel irises. “For what, Law?”.
“For taking so much time”
He suddenly snatches her face in between his inked hands, and without any warning places his lips over hers…
A kiss that lasted as much as their lips could endure, and even more. Red skin around their mouths. Something that took so much time, worth it every single second of it. Even some tears fall from their eyes.
The surgeon and her lover take air when their lips parted, pressing their foreheads together to enjoy each other’s warm sight. Soft smiles, pure love in between them.
Law takes his hands to his earlobes. In a second the first golden hoop was off his ear and as gentle as he could be, he put it on her ear.
