Wake me up at midnight
"You know Robin, you've been spending 95% of your time with Law lately. We barely get to see you in the yard" Nami whined, the strawhats were having lunch and all the crew was now gathered in the dining room. All except for Trafalgar Law who was in the library reading his medical texts. Chopper, Sanji, Zoro and Franky are amongst the ones that weren't busy swallowing the food like they've not eaten in 2 years.
"That's not true Nami, me Robin and Tra-guy are always in the medical room and if we're not we would be out on watch" Chopper said with a mouth filled with meat.
"You're only with then because you're in the same field as Law but Robin is with Law most of the time, nyaaah Robin! It's like you don't miss us girl time anymore" Nami complained like a teenager losing her best friend.
"Maybe you'd be third wheeling Robin and Law. Robin probably likes him that's why she's spending so much time with him" Franky shrugged while popping a whole sandwich into his mouth with the help of his tiny robotic finger-hand. This comment raised Zoro's eyebrows and enraged the ships' cook.
"THAT DAMNED PIRATE AND MY ROBIN CHWANNNN TOGETHER!!!? I WILL DRAG HIM INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN FLOOR MYSELF~~>¥~€~£\¥" Sanji yelled with strings of curses and inaudible swearing following.
"Shut it up you Ero-cook and let's hear what the woman has to say" Zoro interrupted and then turned to Robin also curious about the new bond relationship forming between his crewmate and the Captain of the Heart pirates.
"Fufufu first off, I apologise if i've not been spending any time with you Nami. However me and Law-kun are simply sharing each others' knowledge regarding the void century and I have been researching on something new." Robin said with a smile.
She was touched that her nakamas wanted to spend time with her and she felt guilty that she failed to notice how she wasn't spending time with them. She was too engrossed with Law's company and the stories he would story tell her everyday when he was done with his work to ask Nami to sun tan or read megazines together anymore or ask the rest if they wanted afternoon tea or coffee. She mentally note that she would definitely make it up to the navigator on the next island they stop at; that would definitely cost her a fortune but its a small price to pay.
TIMESKIP
Law was in the library as usual working on his medical research when he heard the door open and close and he could hear her high-heels click-clack on the wooden floor. He smirked knowing exactly who was coming. Robin found the surgeon behind a pile of medical books. “You know for a doctor, you are quite unhealthy yourself Law-kun.” She crossed her arms staring at him.
“Oh? What makes you say that Nico-ya”
“How many hours did you sleep last night?”
“Enough” he shut her down with his reply but Robin was too experienced for his bullshit.
She walked towards the surgeon who was sitting on the sofa, she made herself comfortable and leaned towards Law who was now confused about what she was trying to do. Soon enough she was in a sleeping position with her head on his lap. Law was taken aback by her actions. Never was he this close to someone in an intimate way before.
“Nic...co-ya...what are you?..”
“It’s peaceful around you Law-kun. I’ve not been sleeping well these few days and if you don’t mind i’d like to be here just for a few hours.” Her bright big blue orbs connected with his and he thought he felt something he had never felt before. He couldn’t say no even if he wanted to and Robin had that effect on him. When they first interacted it would be purely out of curiosity of each other, he could feel the woman’s pain and loss which he himself had first hand experience in. As time went by, they would spend more and more time with each other and he wouldn’t admit it outloud but she was someone he would very much want in his crew. Her intelligence, wisdom, calmness and composure in his opinion would make one of the best asset if she was in his crew. That aside she was very skilled with her devil fruit powers as well, what more would a man...a captain want.
“Alright, you have my company until you’re well rested Nico-ya.” he replied and resumed his gaze back to his papers. While his gaze is towards the researches but his attention and focus was still on the woman on his lap. The woman who trusted a soon to be an enemy of her crew.
“Law-kun?”
“Hmm?”
“I think you’re very handsome when you’re pretending to be concentrated on your papers”
There she goes being the damn tease she is. He was now trying to focus not to be all flustered and then her giggles echoed throughout the room.
“I think you’re a beautiful women Nico-ya. I would have loved to have you be a part of my crew.”
She was now taken aback by his compliment but of course made no intentions to show him, “I'm touched but better not let anyone hear that, it would surely cause another commotion” she grinned at the captain.
“I'm just saying, if i had crossed path with you first…”
“You would have me as your enemy and killed me.”
“That's how you feel about me?”
“That's how i felt”
“What about now?” Law hesitated asking but fuck it.
“I think Luffy’s decision to align with you was one of those rare right choices he has made in being captain so far. I’d put this as bluntly as I can Law-kun, I like you.” A smile crept on his face, she told him exactly what he wanted her to say.
“Shall we continue our research once you’re rested Nico-ya?” he was never good with affections and Robin knew that this was his way of telling her he felt the same way.
“Wake me up at midnight”
So, Law did something he’s never done before and for once he used his hand for something aside his abilities. He ran his hands through Robin’s soft raven locks “Rest well Nico-ya”
