trafalgar d. water law x afab!reader
your med student boyfriend’s idea of helping you study for your upcoming exam is anything but traditional. yet somehow, it’s alarmingly effective.

you should’ve known ‘studying’ with law was going to mean anything but actual studying.
not when your boyfriend was a third-year med student who lived half his life on caffeine and pure spite. not when he’d kissed you like he had been waiting hours for the chance and touched you like it was keeping him alive. and certainly not when his idea of “academic support” to help you prepare for your upcoming anatomy exam involved hovering over you on your dorm bed with a grin like he knew exactly what he was doing.
which, to be clear, he absolutely did.
yet, here you are, highlighter discarded somewhere between your sheets and your anatomy textbook sliding dangerously close to the edge of the mattress. the reading lamp buzzed softly in the corner, casting gold light across law’s profile as he leaned over you, hoodie rumpled, hair a mess, and glasses fogged slightly from the proximity. his forearm was braced beside your head, his weight sunk partially into the bed, half on top of you in a way that made it impossible to concentrate on anything except the slow, deliberate drag of his thumb along the curve of your waist beneath your shirt.
“alright,” he murmurs, voice low, like he doesn’t want to break the quiet hum of the room. just the steady tick of your wall clock, the faint rumble of the mini fridge, and the rapid pulse beating hard behind your ribs. “name this muscle for me, baby.”
his lips graze the line of your jaw until they land just below your ear, two inches down, precise and deliberate. he kisses you softly, the faintest pressure over the spot he knows would short-circuit your brain before you could think of a single damn term.
“law…” your voice came out much weaker than intended, the syllables of his name thinning into the air, lost between the thundering beat of your pulse and the stillness that followed. he hadn’t even done anything. not really. yet somehow your brain already feels like a scrambled egg.
he doesn’t move to kiss you again. instead, his thumb presses just beneath your ear, then drags lightly down your neck, pausing halfway along the side. his face stayed close, breath still fanning your neck, feeling the way you shivered under his touch with an amused sort of patience. his other hand slides a little higher on your ribs. not pushing, not groping. just warm and slow and undeniably present.
“c’mon angel, you’ve got this. easy one,” his voice is soft, coaxing. “don’t tell me you forgot.”
you swallow hard, eyes fluttering shut for a brief second as you take a shaky breath to remember the name that used to sit right at the top of your flashcard stack. “…sternocleidomastoid.”
his grin is immediate, teeth flashing as he presses a kiss to the exact spot his thumb had touched. then he kisses lower—just an inch—then again. slower. wetter. like he was confirming what you’d said with his mouth.
“that’s my girl,” he murmurs. you barely suppress the breathless sigh that comes out of you when he nips gently at the base of your neck.
“origin?” he asks next, mouth not even leaving your skin this time.
you groan, your brain lagging several seconds behind the question. “uh— sternal head starts from… from the shit— manubrium of the sternum.”
“mmhmm,” he hums, teeth grazing over your collarbone. “and?”
“clavicular head starts— fuck— starts from the medial third of the clavicle.”
his laugh is soft, the sound vibrates against you as he kisses down to the neckline of your shirt.
“you’re doing so good, baby,” he murmurs against the soft cotton above your sternum, voice thick with heat and quiet satisfaction. his hand, the one still under your shirt, strokes the soft skin just below bra with maddening slowness, like he wasn’t trying to completely ruin your study flow, like he wasn’t already halfway there. the weight of him above you was a gravity you couldn’t fight, and you weren’t really trying to.
you breathe out hard, head tipping back slightly into the pillow, your brain caught in this strange purgatory between academic focus and the way your body was practically vibrating under his hands.
“this isn’t tutoring,” you mumble, your voice thin and uneven.
he only laughs again, warm breath dragging over you as his fingers trail down to the hem of your shirt. he hooks it with just enough pressure to tug the fabric up, exposing the soft skin of your stomach inch by inch. his mouth follows the path immediately, lips grazing over your skin as he speaks. “sure it is. i’m reinforcing recall with kinesthetic association,” he says smugly, and you can feel the grin against your skin. “multi-modal learning, very high-yield methodology, top-tier pedagogy.”
“that’s not how that works,” you whisper, already trembling with the effort of keeping your thoughts from unraveling completely. he doesn’t respond, just smiles, that quiet, crooked thing that says he knows exactly how far gone you are.
his warm fingers skim up your stomach, past your ribs, pushing the fabric higher until it bunches just above your bra. he hums low, eyes dragging over the sliver of skin he’s exposed, then dips his head.
his lips press soft and slow to the center of your sternum, just below the edge of the bra.
then again, higher this time—mouth warm against the space between your breasts, lingering like he’s branding the spot into memory. “you say that, but you’re remembering every damn term.”
and he’s right. you are. it’s humiliating. infuriating. worse: it’s effective.
“alright.” his thumb circles a spot on your ribs, the gentle pressure enough to elicit a soft gasp.
“last one for tonight,” he lies. you know he’s lying. “what’s the insertion point?”
you gasp again when his lips dip low again, dragging over the soft curve of your belly. your legs twitch around his hips.
“fuck— mastoid process,” you manage, voice cracking on the second word, “of the temporal bone.”
“superior, uh, superior nuchial line— ah— of the occipital bone.”
“mmm, fuckin’ perfect.” he presses a kiss right to your lower abdomen, lingering there like a reward. “you’re such a good student when you’re like this.”
“horny and pinned to my bed?”
you slap your hand weakly against his shoulder, but there’s no force behind it. not when his hand slides beneath the waistband of your shorts at the same time, fingertips brushing the edge of your panties, not quite touching where you need but close enough to steal the breath from your lungs.
“law—” your voice breaks.
“shhh,” he soothes, nuzzling closer, nose pressed to your hip. “just one more review round.”
you groan again, dragging your hands through his hair, tugging until his glasses slip further down his nose and his hoodie hikes up slightly where your knees curl against his sides. you’re flushed, undone, already lost in the next wave of heat that spreads outward from every place he touches.
he drags his fingers down, slow and light and utterly evil, skimming over your soaked underwear now. he's mouthing soft, wet kisses down your stomach. “ready for the innervation pathways?” he teases, tongue flicking at the waistband. “i’ve got a few ways we could cover cranial nerve XI.”
you whimper. “i’m dropping out.”
“no you’re not,” he says, kissing the inside of your thigh, “you’re gonna pass with flying colors.”
and then he licks up—slow, claiming, too sure of himself—and whatever part of your brain was still clinging to coherent thought disappears completely.
your textbook hits the floor with a soft thump, you don’t hear it.
