Law hums all the time.
And when I say all the time, I mean all. The. Fucking. Time.
You asked him something? He will hum before answering
He didn't like something? He will hum disapprovingly
He's surprised? Curious hum
He found something he liked? Happy hum
He's flustered? Nervous hum
Sometimes it seemed like he simply didn't want to open his mouth. Specially in the mornings or right after he woke up, almost 90% non-verbal. Just hums.
"Captain, do you prefer to mislead the marines going to A island or B island?"
"Hm"
"...A or B, Captain?"
"Hm."
"Captain, it's not a yes or no question. A or B??"
"Hmm."
"Captain we're gonna die"
"Mhmm"
And not only that, Law has a very specific hum for when he wants something
Because Law being Law doesn't simply tell people what he wants.
You have to figure it out somehow. And you need to figured out, or else Law will sulk all day and make it everyone's problem
Could be the most calm and enjoyable day. Everyone doing their respective chores around the ship and he would just:
"Hmph"
Everyone would freeze and look at each other.
Shachi carrying supplies would slip on the wet floor Penguin was moping, and Bepo would shiver on the spot
"...did you hear that?" Someone whispered
"Hmph."
Chaos
"Maybe he's hungry??" Penguin said, reaching to the kitchen and starting to prepare food rushedly
A plate of onigiris later Law let out a heavy sigh, sulking.
"Did someone stain one of his books?!" Ikkaku exclaimed, running towards his office
All books checked later, no stains
"Bepo, did you wash his clothes?!" Shachi checked the laundry
Wearing a soft and clean hoodie later, Law crossed his arms over his chest and sighed heavily again. No success
Everyone started to panic
When you arrived the scene, they were almost sacrificing Penguin just so Law could have fun operating him, and Law remained seated on the couch with his arms crossed, looking bored.
"...what in the world are you guys doing?" You asked confused
But when Law saw you, his gaze softened. Then he quickly turned his face away and: "Hmph."
Loud and clear.
Suddenly there was four people shoving you on Law
"Wha- hey! Hold on!" You landed on top of Law, who grumbled a weak complaint
"Get off me" he said, but he didn't push you away
Everyone left the room without another word, spying on you two through the slightly ajar door.
You felt Law's hands on your waist, holding you in place despite his words
Then you looked down at him and his stupid puppy eyes
"Sulking again, you spoiled brat?" You murmured with a sigh, settling on his lap
"I don't know what you're talking about" he shrugged with a little smug on his face. He buried his face on your chest, sighing softly as if his loud mind finally found a place to rest peacefully.
"You really need to improve your communication skills" you huffed softly, your hands gently carding through his hair
He nuzzled your neck, inhaling your scent deeply before gently biting your pulse point
He could feel your heartbeat pound faster, your blood rushing through your veins like fervent currents
That was the moment the crew abruptly decided to go for a walk and hope for the best
With a groan, you framed Law's face with your hands and pushed it away softly
"So that's what you want, huh? Bad captain" you scolded him affectionately, kissing his lips gently
You couldn't resist to his charm when he was like this.
"Don't reward me for doing something bad, or else I'll learn to keep doing it" he murmured between your lips, nuzzling his nose against yours
You just huffed a chuckle, surrending to the Surgeon of Death's whims
After that day, you learned that specific hum, allowing you to act before the whole crew started a cult just to see their captain happy
Law would be having breakfast calmly
Then he would look up from his plate
Cross his arms over his chest and...
"Hm–"
You appear right behind him and kiss his cheek before he could even finish his sulking
And then the world wouldn't collapse and the Surgeon of Death would get back to whatever he was doing.
And maybe he would hum again later just to tease you.
