Heyy could I request a headcanon of how law, Kidd and Luffy would react to their usually strong s/o who doesnât usually display their sadness breaking down in their arms due to stress/ family death (it doesnât have to be either of those 2). thank you đđ
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.Â
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 youâll 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 itâs ok, that heâs got you, and that youâre safe. He also apologises to you for not hugging you earlier and eventually, when your sobbing calms down a bit, he asks you whatâs wrong.
When he hears the stress has been building up on you, he feels terrible. He feels responsible as your captain, he shouldâve known your limits. He feels inadequate as a doctor, he shouldâve 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 heâs the one that should know you best of all and heâs 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 thereâs something he can do for you. Heâs prepared to do anything for you, no matter what, as long as he can see you smiling again.
Even when you tell him that youâre fine again, Law will keep a close eye on you, regularly checking in and giving you a little less work. Â He failed you once already, heâs not going to do it again. And you bet heâs never refusing you any hugs ever again.
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, itâs what drew him to you. So seeing you cry shocks him to the point where he wonders if heâs 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 youâre ok.
You tell him you got a reminder of a bad memory on the last island, and that youâve been holding it back ever since. Kid continues to hold you, but he is boiling. He wishes you had told him earlier, so he couldâve 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 wonât ask you for more details. Heâll 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 heâs not always the best or most romantic boyfriend, he doesnât want to hurt you. Ever.
Heâll 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?
âLook, Iâm here for you, ok? Itâs ok if youâre sad, and itâs ok if you cry. I wonât look down on you for it. You can be weak with me.â
Luffy will instantly get worried when he sees you break, exactly because youâre usually so strong. You never cry, so this must be bad, right?
Heâll 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. Heâs 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 heâs there for you, both physically and emotionally. To show you youâre not alone. That doesnât mean he doesnât let you grieve though. Heâll 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. Heâll just silently stay by your side. If you want to talk, heâll listen to you and talk with you. If you just want a hug, thatâs just what heâll 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 youâre sad is just as courageous as smiling when youâre sad. Only now he knows, and he can help.
