text: Law shot upright in bed not two hours later, panting, one hand reaching forward for something he couldn't consciously recall.
  
  He panted for a moment, checking the corners for any hint of pink feathers or strings. His shoulders sagged as he fell flat back on the mattress, "Godamnit…"
  
  "Traffy? You okay?" Luffy yawned.
  
  "Fine," Law said tightly, hauling Luffy closer and burying his face in the other's collarbone. "Fine."
  
  "Okay, Traffy. You know I'm here, right?"
  
  "Yeah."
  
  He was safe here. It wasn't hidden beneath the waves like his submarine could be but it was safe all the same.
  
  "You're…you're still worried about him, huh?"
  
  Law felt two elongated arms wrap around them both securely as he planned out his answer. It was somehow comforting instead of constricting, for all it was like being wrapped in a large snake.
  
  "…He had the connections to fake leaving the Warlords," Law said. "Who knows what else those connections can do. How long will he really be imprisoned?"
  
  "If he gets out we'll just beat his ass again."
  
  Law chuckled despite himself. Of course. Everything was simple to Luffy. "Well, if the future King of the Pirates decrees it, a simple ex-Warlord like me can't really argue."
  
  "Shishishi. Of course not," Luffy teased. "…Hey, Traffy?"
  
  "What is it, Straw Hat?"
  
  "I've been thinking-"
  
  "Should I go put your crew on high alert?"
  
  "-if I'm going to be the Pirate King, what does that make you?"
  
  "The Pirate King's Doctor. Now go to sleep."
  
  "But that's Chopper's job."
  
  "Then I'll be the Pirate King's Surgeon of Death. Chopper can be the nice doctor."
  
  "…Yeah, okay."
  
  Law counted himself lucky Luffy hadn't gotten it in his head to call Law a potential Pirate Queen. Law did not feel awake enough to generate a Room and use his powers to show Luffy why that would be a bad sentence. And it was a bad sentence. Penguin had learned how bad a sentence it was when Law had swapped his hands for a few hours.
  
  "Hey, Traffy?" Luffy yawned.
  
  "Yes?"
  
  "Love you."
  
  "Love you too. Now sleep."
