trafalgar law x male reader ; he might seem ooc but he isn't, trust me. this is how law is supposed to be perceived, i talked to oda himself and sorted this all out with him before publishing.
-> listened to brooklyn baby by lana while writing this...hehehehheheehhehehehehe ps. i think that is my favorite photo of manga law ever oh my fuking godhes so hot.
rockstar ! law . . . did not get famous overnight, but also did not get famous on purpose...if that makes sense. like his ass was up posting his guitar covers on youtube for years before someone reached out to him on joining a proper band. but also he wasn't posting those guitar covers with the intent of getting noticed. he just wanted people to see how SICK he was on guitar (he's a not-so-secret narcisst). but also another reason he posted them was because of you, his boyfriend who he had been in a relationship for a year at that point, was encouraging him to do so. your support for him and his talent was really assuring and fuelled him to be confident enough to post them online. (he was kind of against the idea at first, probably saying romantic shit like, "i want only you to hear the songs i play," but eventually was swayed when you spent many minutes convincing him to)
rockstar ! law . . . when he finally goes on tour with his band, he is pretty insistent and headstrong in allowing you to come with. he doesn't care if he needs to pay out of pocket money to fund your stay with him and his bandmates, he will if he has to. because he's not leaving you for months on end, pursuing the dream that was only possible because of how you supported him through it. there's absolutely no way he's going on tour without his boyfriend.
law's tattooed arms were crossed over his wide chest as he listened to their manager and a team of people tell him and his band about their upcoming plan for their first ever tour.
after the end, when it was about time for everything to wrap up, law calmly asked, "what about bringing significant others?" this makes the executives share looks with one another before apologetically smiling at him.
"sorry, another person added onto the travel, boarding, and all that will not be able to fit into out budg-"
"then i'm not going," law says simply, already getting ready to storm out of the room. but the manager stops him by his wrist.
"n-now, let's not get hasty! this was not something we accounted for-"
"well you should've, i'm not going anywhere without him. i'm not gonna leave him." law states stubbornly, glaring down at the man that was much shorter than him, "he's either coming with us or i'm not going at all."
a silence passed over the room and his bandmates were internally praising law for having the balls to stand up to these powerful guys so carefree like that.
maybe that's what had made him such a good rockstar.
his passions that he was not willing to back down for, he'd settle for his desires being fulfilled or nothing at all.
what they didn't know was that all of those passions were singlehandedly fuelled by his immense love for you.
"a portion of it will have to come out of your pocket, then. we really don't have the funds to bring on another person. so if you can't-"
"i can manage. if that's all, and we're all good. me and [name] will be ready by the designated time and meet you all at the location with all of our things," law easily says, walking out of the room with his broad shoulders being the last thing the executives saw.
"wow, law is so cool!" a memeber, stage-named penguin, said with stars in his eyes.
"don't get any ideas." the manager immediately cuts them off before they can gush further.
rockstar ! law . . . is very openly gay for you <3 doesn't really care that people are expecting him to act a certain way because he is a rockstar, he could care less. he's said time and time again that the only reason these fans of his have the oppurtunity to appreciate him to such an extent is because of you. had it not been you encouraging him to post his covers, he would not be standing on that stage for them to admire. so he can be as shameless as he wants in displaying his affection for you. naturally, law isn't the most into pda, but when he hears annoying people batter him for being so into you, his boyfriend, he feels the need to piss them off even further.
law's calloused fingers were playing with the flesh of your waist as he held you close. it was dark in the after party room so he made sure to keep you secure to his side so that he wouldn't lose you in the crowd.
there were a bunch of celebrities that attended their recent show scattered around the room, but he didn't care for them. not when he had you on his arm. plus, he didn't really like these after parties that much - he'd much prefer to be on the tour bus cuddling with you.
feeling unimpressed with the party, he turned to you to feel some comfort. when he saw how you were just taking in the view of everyone, he leaned down to kiss you, surprising you at the sudden affection. but soon, the both of you were just pressed against the wall of the room and blatantly making out with each other. his raven hair was messy by the time you two pulled away from each other and that knowing smirk of his was proudly plastered on his face.
the next morning, the internet were ripping law into pieces for still being in a relationship with you despite having access to as many beautiful women, handsome men, and alluring people that he could have wanted. he was a talented, well-known name in the scene with a handsome face and charming demeanor. he could have had anyone. and some were frustrated, for some reason, that he was still with you.
five years going strong in your relationship wasn't enough for the press to believe he was satisfied and completely settled down with you, for some reason...
he groans the moment he sees the headlines, throwing his phone to the mattress and turning into your side to be comforted by you once again. the only person capable of calming him down still remains to be only you.
"love you," he says against your skin, making you laugh at the sleepy confession.
"love you, too, law. you know i don't care about the stupid shit they say," you comment, making note of how tight his arms were around your waist.
he doesn't acknowledge what you say, only peppering more kisses to your bare skin.
rockstar ! law . . . kinda perfectly fits the rockstar bf aesthetic to a T. he's wearing the leather jackets and the other staple fashion pieces that scream "rockstar boyfriend." it doesn't help the way the clothes so perfectly fall into place on his body. he enjoys matching with you too, even if your aesthetics may not match. if he's wearing a heavy jewlery piece, like a necklace, ring, or bracelet, he buys a matching one that you would like and would be able to style. he doesn't mind discarding his iconic leather jacket for you if you are feeling cold. and of course, he's attentive, protective, and caring for you (and only you) - perfectly fuelling the fantasies many people have of that "rockstar boyfriend persona"
law was not known for being hot-headed. there were never any stories of him giving customer service people a hardtime, or of him trashing hotel rooms like many others in the same genre as him were guilty of doing. his overall attitude was off standish, but polite.
with a slight difference whenever he was seen with you. still off standish and polite, but specially doting and careful when he is with you.
his arm is always slithered around your waist or shoulders and he is always seen attentively listening to whatever it is you're rambling about. his eyes focused in on you, and only you, show that he is blocking out the rest of the world and listening to you intently.
the way he almost, kind of, definitely glares at people that interrupt your time together before he softens his gaze the moment you catch him making faces and scold him. he's completely wrapped around your finger, despite his seemingly intimidating and threatening persona, he's complete mush with you.
his leather jacket was thrown over your shoulders as he protectively stood behind you. tonight, the two of you were at the bar and watching the live performance of the local band of the town you were in. due to your begging, he agreed to get off of the counter stool and dance and sway to the music with you.
his arms are resting in front of you as he holds your hands in his, completely engulfing them with the size difference. the jacket around you is practically drowning you as well.
he's rocking you back and forth, occasionally leaning down and pressing a kiss to your cheek and whispering sweet nothings to you. your cute moment unfortunately comes to an end though. some drunkard knocks into the two of you and spills their entire pint of beer on you and your clothing.
your first reaction is to take off law's jacket to spare it from reeking of the beverage, but law's first reaction is to push you behind him and size up the guy that knocked into you.
"the hell is your problem, man?! it was an accident!" the man defends himself when he feels threatened by your boyfriend.
law's one hand is holding your own, wanting to make sure you stay close to him some way, while the other is clenched at his side to form a fist. noticing how he was very close to landing a hit on the idiot's face, you pull him back by his shirt, "c'mon, people are staring,"
"don't care, this guy has got his head so far up his ass," law simply says, genuinely not caring at all that people were looking at him as if he were crazy.
"law, let's just go," he turns his head to you, his gaze softening as he turns.
he waits a couple seconds before speaking in whispers, "do you really want to go? i can just take care of him-"
"i do, really. let's just go, babe, it's alright, it was an accident," you continued trying to convince him.
"he could've done it on purpose, he could be a complete, total asshole,"
you laughed at his reasoning of giving the guy a lesson, shaking your head, "let's just go and get out of here."
law doesn't seem satisfied with having to let the guy go without any reprecussions, but if law is anything: he's a boyfriend that listens to his boyfriend.
so he walks away with you close by, tight grip on your hand, and silently cursing the asshole the entire ride home.
rockstar ! law . . . very casually dedicates the most romantic, sensual, loving, etc. songs to you when he is on stage.
"this one is for the man standing at side stage, waiting for me,"
"i've been with the same idiot for 5 years now and this song is for him,"
"this is [name]'s favorite, by the way. so if you don't like it, you can fuck off,"
rockstar ! law . . . who doesn't understand the way some fans really idolize your relationship. he loves you a lot and he's glad that they're accepting of that fact, but why are people on the internet asking him and you to adopt them...? or why are they calling the both of you their "daddies"? he's confused. he at least pieces together that they're being supportive, but he doesn't truly understand what they mean when they say stuff like "i wanna go to paris" underneath his posts of you and him on his instagram.
rockstar ! law . . . whose favorite audience is still you. he loves playing his guitar for you, just in the quiet of your room (when you're finally home for tour) and with you on the bed with his strumming as background noise to your reading, or whatever hobby you commit to.
his fingers move with such familiarity he can easily take his eyes off of the neck of the guitar. he looks at you with such love and care that it would make any onlookers vomit at how sweet he was being.
the song that he was playing was faintly resembling "can't help falling in love" by elvis, with his own personal twist. the moment you recognize the chords and notes, though, you look at him with a deadpan expression on your face.
he smirks, tilting his head, "what?" he'll ask with that annoying knowing look on his face.
"you're so cheesy," you comment with an eye roll.
"oh, don't be an asshole now,"
"not being an asshole, just being honest!"
law puts down the acoustic guitar, walking over to where you were and planting a kiss to the top of your head. clearing his throat, he begins to mimic the singer with exaggeration. it spurs you into laughter at his impression, which he only grins wider at. your laugh still remains his favorite sound in the whole world.
this soft side was only shown behind closed doors with you. and you liked it that way. no one else got to see your usually intimidating boyfriend with his walls completely down. how sweet and doting he actually was. polar opposite to that persona he put on whenever he walked onto those grand stages.
he was just yours right now.
and as he leans down to press a passionate kiss to your lips, you can smile against his with comfortability. and warmness spreads throughout both of your chests as he smiles back.
and finally, rockstar ! law who definitely gets your name tattooed somewhere on his body. probably on his hands or arms tbh because that is the most visible body part of his that gets photographed and noticed due to how he plays the guitar. that way if anyone wants to take photos of him in his element, they'll see a small part of you that he carries with him everywhere.
Ever since he joined the straw hats in an allience law knew they were too roudy, and being so close to defeating doflamingo he decided to suck it up....but not the god damn sanitation of the men's sleeping quarters.
They stink, and the idea of taking a bath seems like a plague to them, which is how he ended up here on the ship's main dock, trying to sleep. The key word is "trying," because despite being so close to getting his long-awaited revenge, the demons of the past continue to hunt him in his sleep...
"Mr.Law? Your still up?" A feminine voice from the straw hat witch said, "I know when people fake sleep, ya know?" she said again, "the hell's you want?" Law said the lack of sleep appeared on his tone, "maybe an explanation on why are you here AND still awake" she said with an accusing finger, "same could be said to you" he answered nonechalantly gripping his Katana, "I am on night watch duty plus collecting night ingredients," seeing his refusal to answer, she changed the subject. "night ingredients?" Now he is curious; he knows she is a witch, and it is difficult to find one because they prefer to stay hidden "your curious about magic!" oh boy was she happy jumping in joy she answers "it's dream dust, used for hallucination spells! Or sleep ones" a brief explanation as she sat down next to him.
"so you have nightmares, huh"a calm voice and a piercing eye contact she awaited an answer, seeing it like this he was not ready to share his nightmare nor open up to to her, but before he gave her an answer telling her to go away a golden dust was thrown at his face causing him to fall unconscious, "sweet dreams!" was all she said before making a hamic appear and letting him sleep there.
Hi hun, I was wondering how Law, Ace and Sanji would react to and easily flustered S/O. Also I love your work so much. ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡
Hi Anon! Thank you for your kind words ❤ Ah yes, flustered s/o’s, always a cute topic 😍 Enjoy!
Law
Law would mostly leave you be about it. He’s not the type to tease you a lot about it, nor the type to take advantage of it. He’s mostly rather mindful about it, often announcing things he’s about to do so he won’t startle you. Despite this all, he does think you avoiding his eyes and stuttering out your words is rather cute and he secretly enjoys it.
The only time he’ll take advantage of you being easily flustered is when he’s feeling a little romantic, and when it’s just the two of you. He doesn’t like other seeing you like that, it’s a reaction to something he does, so it should be a sight just for him. When it’s just the two of you, he does like to comment about it though. Pointing out when someone is flustered makes it that much worse, and Law can be a bit of a tease.
Like giving you compliments with that grin of his while he’s holding you close to him, close enough to feel his breath on your skin. Compliments on your looks, on your personality, on your skills, anything. Lowering his voice just a bit because he knows what it does to you.
But the moment somebody else comments on you being flustered? Law goes full protective boyfriend mode. The crew knows better than to purposely fluster you, and when they do by accident they often apologise.
And when someone takes your blushing and stammering as an invitation to flirt with you? They’d better start running the moment Law notices. He knows you’re faithful to him, your relationship is built on a strong bond of trust after all, but he knows a stuttering ‘please leave me alone’ won’t make any unmannered idiots go away. Cutting their head off and throwing it away mostly does the trick though.
Ace
Ace loves your reactions. Unlike Law, he loves to take advantage of it. Anytime you start getting flustered, Ace will comment on it, tease you about it, make it worse,… He’s living for it.
It’s fair game though, because if you play your cards right, Ace is not too hard to fluster either. Depending on your confidence, it will become a bit of a competition, flustering the other, trying to get revenge,…
If you’re not confident enough to get back at him though, he won’t tease you too bad about it though. He’s a tease, not mean. He’ll make a little comment on it, wink, and continue about the next topic, leaving the subject of you being flustered behind him.
If you genuinely hate it, he’ll stop though. He’ll be a little disappointed, but your comfort still comes above his amusement.
Ace is a little territorial, and he doesn’t like other people flustering you. The crew like to fluster you a little to tease him, and it often results in Ace trying to roast them. Due to his self-image, Ace is always worried that you’ll fall for someone else and leave him, so seeing you react that way to someone else just rubs him the wrong way.
He’s noticeably more gentle about the teasing when it’s just the two of you though. The more romantic the setting, the less harsh his teasing. Ace knows how to read the mood, and he knows he can be a bit of an ass sometimes with his teasing. So whenever it’s just the two of you, he likes to be a bit more soft and gentle, to give you a break from all the teasing and to remind you that he does in fact care. This way, he knows that you’ll believe whatever he says when it’s just the two of you, including those three very special words that never fail to make your heart race.
Sanji
Sanji loves your reactions so much. It’s not like he puts in that extra effort to make you flustered, Sanji is not really much of a tease, but he does love seeing what effect he has on you. You have such a huge effect on him as well, after all. It’s a confirmation to him that you love him, and it gives him that much more reason to keep showering you in affection, so you’ll never doubt his love for you either.
Whenever you get flustered, Sanji is really patient. He won’t comment on you stuttering or looking away, he’ll wait until you’re done talking, even if you take a while and he’ll react as normal. Almost as if you aren’t flustered at all. He knows showing he notices or reacting on it will only make matters worse and he wants you to be 100% comfortable around him.
He’ll comment on other people making you flustered depending on who it is, after all. If it’s one of the other girls on the ship, he won’t say anything about it unless it’s something that clearly makes you uncomfortable. When it’s one of the men on the ship, he yells at them to leave you alone and to stop making you uncomfortable. When it’s Zoro, who does it completely by accident, he even starts picking a fight.
Strangers though? Oh no. He’ll step right up. No stranger can make his s/o flustered. No stranger can tease his s/o. Not on his watch. Sanji is not afraid to start a scene, or a fight if he has to, if someone is making you uncomfortable.
Though he knows you don’t like that because it draws all this attention to the two of you, so mostly when you leave the ship he’s by your side, glaring at anyone he thinks is gonna try something funny.
Traflgar Law x Witch!Straw Hat (part 8)
---------------------------------------
"Let's hurry!" chopper insisted fearing the battle was gonna get out of hand.
Y/N took a moment to think,' Running will just prompt them to chase after me, beating them will make me feel like a bully, but WHAT AM I FORGETTING? Oh, right, the symbol!' Looking at them, she can't scare them with being a magician since they saw what she could do, So…
"Alright I can stay for a bit" she declared with raised hands in defeat.
The villagers cheered happy to feel safe once more,
"the monsters won't eat us!" they cheered
"We apologize for not being able to throw you a welcoming party savior" the chief apologized.
"no, need I just have a question" She looked at them with confidence hoping to not raise alarms in her disguise, "the symbol on that house, where did it come from?"
"the villagers exchanged looks before the chief answered, "It's been there long before I was a boy" he explained
so he had no idea, great! Walking back to the symbol the villagers looked at her smiling happy, maybe too happy.
Luffy on the other hand reached the village focusing on finding Y/N when he spotted her surrounded by strangers Luffy prepared for an attack,
"gomo gomo no!"
but he stopped mid-attack, seeing his friend with their guard down……inspecting a wall?
"Y/N! You okay!" he shouted for her prompting her to turn around and be met with a bone-crushing hug from him.
"Luffy!" She smiled keeping her balance and hugging him back, prompting the villagers to look at him suspiciously before breaking into whisperers but the duo ignored them focusing on the small reunion.
"Where's the fight?" luffy looked around still a bit on guard but letting loose once he realized nothing was happening and the villager didn't look threatening.
"sorry Luffy but I finished the fight a while ago" She shook her shoulders returning to inspecting the old magic symbol, What did it mean?
"so we can go back? Franky is cooking and I am hungry!"
"just let me finish this first" She waved him off forgetting her plan for a second.
"this symbol?" luffy asked touching it with his finger, "wait don't tou- AHHHHH!"
Not stopping him in time Luffy accidentally activated the old magic a large hole opened beneath them, deep with no light and black in color causing them both to be swallowed by it and closing again before neither could get out.
The villagers looked very happy, more than before hugging each other in delight,
"Our goddess! We fed you two people!"
"Mercy"
"Soon things will go back to normal!"
.
.
.
The hole stretched far or deep? Either way, the two where still felt not seeing anything in front of them;
"Y/N where are you!" shouted Luffy holding his hat on his head
"Ya daough anir ma amami wa goud tariki!" Instead of answering she cast a spell creating a big ball of light to appear floating on top of her hand
"Luffy I am fine! but this is too long of a fall!" she finally answered looking at her captain with a ball of light between them
"This is cool! why didn't you do it before!" Luffy was amazed by the spell forgetting the situation they were in, till
"Gomo gomo no! Balloon!" The straw hat kid noticed the ground nearing and brought Y/N cose turning into an air balloon to take the fall.
"This is getting ridiculous where are we!" she shouted looking at the cave, smooth dirt walls, no signs of getting out from the same way they got in since the hole was closed.
"Oi look at this! There's statues everywhere!" finding something interesting luffy went to check on his findings but his companion didn't feel the same.
"they look like they're trying to run away"
"hm?"
again not letting them catch a break the room started shaking and tearing itself open to reveal, another statue. But this one was Big much too big looking like a weeping woman holding a bouquet? The location it appeared in was exactly the direction the statues were running from, but why?
Luffy and Y/N got ready for battle this wasn't OR was going to be fun.
"My children! Welcome," a feminine voice said, but from where?
"Where are you!" yelled Luffy looking around causing his companion to do the same.
"Fear not! For soon you will join me!" looking ahead the statue moved one hand letting go of the bouquet in an inviting manner.
The earth stopped shaking and instead started glowing, a big magic circle under their feet, full of a similar symbol to before but this time they felt weak, unable to walk and falling to their knees.
"Y/N what's happening" Luffy turned to the magic strang thing-happening expert.
"not sure! But give me a minute!" the stakes were high, and not knowing what kind of magic it was added to the fire, 'think! Think! Dark magic, strange symbols, and now a goddamn talking statue performing a ritual! what can-'
"gomo gomo no! pistolé" While she was busy thinking luffy struck the first blow to the statue but his punch deflated before it reached the statue Luffy in his goofy tired voice mumbled
"I feel tired what's happening"
"Luffy! Shit!" she cursed under her breath, she too was feeling like….her energy was draining out, standing up is a hassle, taking too long thinking might eat up the time she didn't have.
This was getting bad…..
Hello, could have S/O taking Sanji, Zoro and Law out on a date. They find out she's been planning this for weeks. Also I love you work, keep it up and have a nice day.
Hi Anon! Thank you for your kind words 😍 I swear I’m still surprised people actually like what I do here sometimes, but reading little comments like that really make me smile and give me motivation to keep writing more! ❤
That aside, here’s the headcanons, I hope you enjoy them!
Sanji
Sanji is over the moon the moment you ask him out on a date. He loves taking you out on dates, but the fact that you’re now asking him on one makes him feel so honoured, and so loved. So of course he totally swoons over you the whole time.
Sanji has a lot of trouble not taking over the date. He wants you to be happy, and dates are usually all about you enjoying yourself, so to have the roles reversed is a weird but welcome change. He’s still a perfect gentleman though, it’s not something he can or wants to stop doing.
Sanji’s full attention is on you throughout the whole date. He’s grateful for any thought and any detail you’ve put into this date, and he starts to notice there’s been a lot of thought put into it. He’s pretty perceptive, after all.
So at the end of the date, once you’re heading back to the ship, you ask him if he’s had fun. He answers yes with that wide smile of his. Then he decides to ask the question he’s been wondering about.
“Y/N, did you spend a lot of time preparing for this date?”
The question came out with a smile, hoping he wouldn’t give you the wrong idea, but he had to ask.
When you confirm with slightly warm cheeks that you did, and that you in fact spent weeks preparing, Sanji feels like his heart is going to burst. That little smile you have on your face is not helping. What did he do to deserve you?
He wraps you in a tight hug, thanks you, and leans in for a kiss, deciding to let him actions speak for him.
Expect your favourite food the next day, and some extra drinks and snacks to be brought to you throughout the day.
Zoro
Zoro is pretty surprised when you ask him out on a date, he really didn’t think you would, or at least not yet for a good while. He’s not complaining though, any time spent with you was time spent well.
He notices you have a specific plan in mind, so Zoro lets you take control of the day. Going along with every vague instruction or comment, he lets you guide him through all the nice things you had planned. Everything was arranged, and Zoro couldn’t help but think it was all planned out very well.
That is, until the two of you got to a restaurant and the waiter starts to fumble when you mention your reservation. Turns out they had messed up, and that there was no spot for you. You were devastated and left the restaurant. Zoro suggested going to another restaurant, and you looked at him nearly in tears, letting slip in your emotional state that you had spent weeks preparing this date and that is was ruined now. He’s a little shocked, he noticed you had prepared for this, but for weeks? He did not expect that.
Pulling you into a hug, he tries to comfort you by telling you it’s not your fault, and that he’s very much enjoyed the date so far. The date is not ruined yet, you can go to another restaurant. It may not be what you had planned, but you could still have fun.
So that’s what you did. You found another restaurant that was nice, and had dinner there. All worries about the other restaurant forgotten. Zoro won’t quickly admit it, but he was very surprised that you would spend so much time preparing a date for him.
He’s definitely going to try to repay the favour at a later time, but he’s really not good at preparing dates, so it’ll be snuggles instead.
Law
Law has been on to your planning since the very start. He’s pretty damn observant and noticed you had been asking him different questions than usual, had been behaving a little different. He asked the crew if you got involved in one of their crazy games again, but they told him they had no idea what he meant.
At first he thought something was wrong, so he started investigating. That’s how he found out you were planning to take him on a date. He briefly considered telling you to stop, not wanting many people to know you were involved with him. But at the same time he wanted to see what you would plan. What kind of date you liked, or what kind of date you thought he would like. It had been a long time since the two of you spent some quality time together, so maybe a date wouldn’t be so bad?
So Law stayed silent and waited. When you actually asked him on that date, he pretended he didn’t know anything and accepted. He didn’t know exactly what you were planning, he did want your surprise to work at least a little, so he didn’t know what to expect on the date.
You knew him very well though, and everything was very nice, relaxed and, most important of all, as private as possible, something he was incredibly grateful for. It turns out to be one of those rare occasions where he feels he can let his guard down just a little, and relax.
Law will gladly repay your effort in his own way. A little kiss here and there, a tight hug every now and then, some cuddling back on the sub while he’s reading a book, actually going to bed with you, despite knowing full well he won’t be sleeping anyway,… Little things to show you he cares and he’s grateful.
Heyy could I request a headcanon of how law, Kidd and Luffy would react to their usually strong s/o who doesn’t usually display their sadness breaking down in their arms due to stress/ family death (it doesn’t have to be either of those 2). thank you 😊💕
Hi Anon! Of course you can, I love the idea ❤ This is actually my first time writing for Kid and Law, so I hope I did them justice.
Law
You had been trying to get a hug from Law for a while, but he kept rejecting it, saying that he was too busy for your shenanigans. So when he actually gives in in the hope that you’ll leave him alone for a while and you break down, he feels like such an ass. You never cried, or at least not once since you boarded the sub, so he knew whatever was up was very bad.
He instantly wraps you in a tight hug, quietly whispering in your ear that it’s ok, that he’s got you, and that you’re safe. He also apologises to you for not hugging you earlier and eventually, when your sobbing calms down a bit, he asks you what’s wrong.
When he hears the stress has been building up on you, he feels terrible. He feels responsible as your captain, he should’ve known your limits. He feels inadequate as a doctor, he should’ve seen the symptoms, and he should have prevented them, instead of having to treat them now. But most of all he feels worthless as your boyfriend, because he’s the one that should know you best of all and he’s the one that should be there for you. Always. No exceptions. Certainly not something stupid as work.
All he can do after you tell him is hold you tight, apologise, and ask if there’s something he can do for you. He’s prepared to do anything for you, no matter what, as long as he can see you smiling again.
Even when you tell him that you’re fine again, Law will keep a close eye on you, regularly checking in and giving you a little less work. He failed you once already, he’s not going to do it again. And you bet he’s never refusing you any hugs ever again.
Kid
Kid freezes for a good few seconds. One of the things he likes so much about you is your strength, both physically and mentally. In fact, it’s what drew him to you. So seeing you cry shocks him to the point where he wonders if he’s dreaming.
When he realises this is real though, he panics a bit internally. What should he do? Do you want to be alone? Do you want him to talk? Do you want him to keep holding you? Will any of these make you mad, or even worse, sadder?
So in the end, he settles for continuing to hold you, tightening his hold a little bit before quietly asking you if you’re ok.
You tell him you got a reminder of a bad memory on the last island, and that you’ve been holding it back ever since. Kid continues to hold you, but he is boiling. He wishes you had told him earlier, so he could’ve destroyed whatever made you feel this way. He wants to know what this bad memory is, and he wants to destroy everything that might remind you of it.
But he won’t ask you for more details. He’ll listen if you give them willingly, but if you just want to hug him and cry, he will let you. This is a smart man, he knows how much pain talking to someone about a bad memory can bring. And even if he’s not always the best or most romantic boyfriend, he doesn’t want to hurt you. Ever.
He’ll kiss your hair and rock you back and forth a bit, not really knowing how to make you feel better, but this helps for a lot of people, right?
“Look, I’m here for you, ok? It’s ok if you’re sad, and it’s ok if you cry. I won’t look down on you for it. You can be weak with me.”
Luffy
Luffy will instantly get worried when he sees you break, exactly because you’re usually so strong. You never cry, so this must be bad, right?
He’ll desperately want to help. When Luffy cares about someone he holds nothing back, so he wants to find the source of your sadness and take it away. He wants to destroy everything in this world that could ever make you sad, so you could always be happy. Sometimes however, that is just not possible.
When you tell him someone close to you has passed away, he instantly understands how you feel. He’s been there too, he knows how it feels. However, there is one difference between his situation and yours. You are not alone right now.
Luffy will pull you in a gentle but firm hug, trying to convey to you that he’s there for you, both physically and emotionally. To show you you’re not alone. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t let you grieve though. He’ll let you cry on his shoulder as much as you want. He knows he moved on pretty quickly because he had a goal to focus on, being getting stronger and going back to his crew, but he completely understands if you need more time.
He will have Sanji make your favourite comfort food, and have him make you your favourite drink. And Luffy will stick to you like glue.
Luffy understands nothing he says can make your sadness any less. Death is death and no words can ease the pain of losing a loved one. He’ll just silently stay by your side. If you want to talk, he’ll listen to you and talk with you. If you just want a hug, that’s just what he’ll do. If you want to be alone? Say the word. All Luffy wants is for you to let it all out.
Luffy will never belittle you or look down on you for crying. Crying when you’re sad is just as courageous as smiling when you’re sad. Only now he knows, and he can help.
