Law is the definition of tsundere.
He will NOT admit anything publicly, all of his affection is strictly for your private life.Ā
Itāll take him so long to accept the fact that you two have feelings for each other. He spends literally forever pretending like nothing, despite how open you are about it.Ā
Literally he is just in denial for SO long.
After you flirting with him openly for a few months you have a party where you end up drunkenly properly confessing your feelings for him.
Law being the only sober person that night cannot let go of what you said and confronts you about it the next day.
Although he canāt convey his feelings, your confidence and affection are enough for the two of you.
As you two start dating he starts to get more and more confident in your relationship, and eventually, he starts showing you affection back, but only in private of course.Ā
Heāll start playing with your hair or drawing patterns on your skin eventually. Perhaps he would even cuddle into you if you're both sitting next to each other on a couch.
It takes him damn near a year until he stops getting flustered when you compliment him.Ā
He knows that regardless of how embarrassing it is for him though, you wonāt even judge him for anything, because if anything youāre 10,000 x more affectionate than he is.Ā
All your crewmates will tease him for aaaages, even when he does get used to it. More than anything though, theyāre all surprised he lets you do it in front of all the others.
In reality, Law knows he canāt stop you from showing your affection, and frankly he doesnāt want you to stop either.Ā
Anytime you come running at him and give him a big hug or a kiss on the cheek he just gives the rest of your crewmates a glare (but that does NOT stop them from snickering).
The sun was setting into beautiful colours of pink and orange where you stood on top of the Polar Tang. Your captain had asked to get some fresh air, and for you to come with him. So there you stood, leaning against the railing next to Law. You glance to your right to see his hair lightly blowing in the wind, without the usual hat sitting on his head. He notices your glance and raises an eyebrow at you and you smile back at him.
āWas there anything in particular you wanted, Captain?ā You ask him sweetly as you pick up a stray hair strand laying on his yellow shirt. His body stiffens slightly and he lets out a sigh.
āY/N-yah⦠Youāre gonna make me go crazyā¦ā He mutters, barely audible. āI wanted to talk to you⦠aboutā¦ā He lets out another sigh, this one heavier than the first one. āI wanted to talk to you about what you said yesterday.ā He says and moves to corner you against the railing of the ship. You smile at him as you gently put your hands on the forearms on either side of you. You donāt notice it but his hands are gripping to the railing for dear life.Ā
āOh that? I meant every word I said, you know?ā You respond, unashamed. Why would you be ashamed of your feelings after all? Heās Trafalgar Law. He has a mildly shocked expression on his face, and combined with his flushed cheeks he looks adorable. He should be used to this by now, you think, with how much youāve flirted with him since you joined the crew itās shocking he even reacts to it anymore.Ā
āE-everything?ā He asks and you hum and nod your head. Law looks down to his feet, his arms still surrounding you. āY/N-yah, Iām⦠Iām not sure I deserve thatā¦. I donāt think this is good for either of us⦠Iāll only get you hurt. Or worse.ā He whispers. Your brows furry and you shake your head.
āLaw. Thatās nonsense and you know it. As if both of us arenāt constantly living in danger all day every day⦠You know damn well I donāt care about that. I love you. So much. And you deserve so much more than you get. I know that you have your⦠issues. But I need you to know that Iāll always be here for you regardless of that, okay? I donāt care if Iām only your friend, Iāll always be here to help you. Iāll always be by your side.ā Lawās expression turns into one of awe, his eyes wide and mouth agape. His right hand moves from the railing to cup your cheek.
āY/N⦠I⦠I donāt know what to sayā¦ā His sentence trails off and a blush creeps up on his face again. āYou know my past, and you know Iāve been hurt. I struggle with my feelings, and you know this⦠But⦠If I get to be selfish I want to, uhm,ā He looks away from your face, āIād like to take you up on the offer you made last nightā¦ā He whispers and his hand falls back down to the railing.Ā
The smile on your face turns to a grin as you take in what heās said. āMy offer? You mean when I told you Iād really like to show you my love? When I told you that you should trust the feelings of your heart and trust me? Because I still stand by that.ā He groans as his face turns even redder. You shake your head and giggle at him before standing on your toes to give him a light kiss on the cheek. He turns to look at you again with wide eyes.
āLaw. I already told you I love you, right? Thereās no need to be ashamed.ā You smile at him before leaning in to hug him and bury your face in his neck.Ā
āGod, you really are gonna be the death of me, arenāt you?ā he whispers as he embraces you back and holds you tight against him. He presses a kiss to the top of your head before burying his nose in your hair. āThank you Y/N-yah. Thank you for understanding the words I canāt conveyā¦ā
