Trafalgar Law X Reader (Part 2/2): Butterfly

The weather was perfect as you and the Heart Pirates traveled across the sea so Law decided to keep the submarine above waters; especially since there were no marines around. He went on deck after he ate the lunch you made for the crew and you were quite curious as to what he was doing. When you first joined the crew you thought that Law would kind of be a close friend in a sense; or maybe closer. However, Law has always been distant but at the same time protective and not once do you remember having a full blown conversation.

You finally developed the guts to talk to Law after much thinking and when you walked on deck you saw him looking towards the ocean. Although you didn’t see his face at the moment, you knew he was carrying that smirk of freedom on his face and for a second you could’ve sworn you saw a butterfly. But how would there be a butterfly in the middle of the ocean?

“Whatcha doing?” You asked as you walked up to him and confirmed that he was holding a butterfly in his hand. It was blue like the sea and it had black curvy detail on its wings reminding you of the tattoo on Laws chest.

“Relaxing…” he murmured while admiring the insect and the silence between you two immediately became dead and cold.

You cleared your throat and spoke trying to sound polite as possible, “Uh may I ask why you seem so intrigued by that butterfly?”

Law turned his face towards you presenting a small smile. “Come closer,” he stated.

“What is it?” you asked as you touched shoulders with him. He grabbed your hand with his free one and brought it up close to the butterfly in order for it to settle on your fingers. Once you carefully held on to the creature Law puts his arm around your waist and he proceeded to talk.

“It is remarkable right?” he spoke, “How an ugly caterpillar can turn into something this pretty?”

“Actually,” you responded, “I think caterpillars are rather cute.”

“Really?” he let go of you and leaned against the railing while looking at you, “Do you think that way because you can sympathize with it?”

“What do you mean?” You furrowed your brows at his question until you thought of his earlier comment. You puffed your cheeks and exclaimed with a bit of sarcasm, “Hey! Are you calling me ugly?” He slightly chuckled before coming closer to your face. The blood began to rush from your heart to your finger tips and the tension was so unbearable that the butterfly flew away.

“No," he said before turning his head to watch the insect disappear."It's almost as if you were trapped in your ugly thoughts in the past and when you finally managed to escape the negativity you became...beautiful," he spoke with feeling and then looked into your eyes.

His eyes were piercing as if he was glimpsing into a part of your soul and you couldn’t help but feel he was a little bit out of character. “W-what’s gotten you so soft all of the sudden?” you unexpectedly stuttered.

“The fact that you’re getting more stunning everyday and I’ve been trying so hard to control myself,” he sighed and backed away while rubbing his temples from frustration,"It's quite annoying actually."

“Control yourself…?” you repeated and blinked brainlessly.

Law sighed once more and observed the clear sky. There was not much to look at in the sky which disappointed him greatly since there was no distraction from this moment of tension. He certainly didn’t expect to throw out his feelings today, not even in a couple of years, but there was no turning back. Was there? He took a deep breath as he was getting ready to say what was on his mind until he felt your arms wrap around him. You squeezed your arms around his torso and nuzzled your face into his chest.

“_____-ya…” he breathed refusing to hug you back from pride, “What are you doing?”

“You seemed uncomfortable so I decided to give you a hug,” you looked up at him and smiled, “I think hugs are the most comforting thing ever.”

Law smirked and glanced away from you. “You’ve changed _____-ya,” he said, “You used to be so reserved and quiet.”

“It’s not that I’ve changed, Captain,” you responded while releasing him, “It’s like you said; I escaped my cocoon of negativity and now I’m showing my true colors.”

“Don't call me Captain anymore,” Law whined.

“I don’t understand,” you tilted your head, “Why not?”

“Because it makes me think of you as a subordinate,” He answered.

“…but I am your subordinate,” you stated while raising an eyebrow.

The Captain of the Heart Pirates exhaled a deep breath as he intertwined one hand with yours. He couldn’t help but feel the sensation of love…and lust. Lately you’ve been the only thought in his intelligent mind and he couldn’t get you out of it, no matter how many books he has read to distract himself.

“I don’t want you to be… my subordinate,” he said quietly.

Your heart pumped faster and you caressed his hand with your thumb. “Then…what would be want me to be?” you said with concern. You were quite afraid that he was going to expel you from his pirate crew.

“My lover…” he muttered under his breath.

Your eyes locked with his and he didn’t waste a second to kiss you. Law cupped your cheeks while he compressed his lips onto your precious ones and you were shocked. The kiss was smooth and demanding which entranced you into the sweet action and his lips were so hot. You didn’t notice that Law somehow got you to lean against the railings of the submarine and he became more dominant. However, Law managed to apply self control when he gasped for air preventing himself from violating you anymore.

“I’m sorry,” he apologized while inwardly cursing at himself, “I… ummm.”

“You couldn’t control yourself?” you implied as you caught your breath as well and a small giggle left your lungs, “You were great.”

“Tch…” Law’s face had a tint of red as he turned his face away from the compliment.

“I’ll be your lover,” you regained his attention, “Under one condition though.”

“What?” he said in his usual serious tone.

“Don’t…” you hesitated for a moment and the fear of being alone increased, “Please don’t ever leave me. I want you to always be by my side.”

Law didn’t take is eyes off of you for he thought it was a ridiculous request knowing that he would never leave you anyways. However, it was still sweet of you to ask. With both hands on the railing Law leaned towards your lips and you accepted him. The heat was rising as Law guided your legs to wrap around his waist and your hands found its place in his hair. His lips then left yours as he planted small kisses along your neck and he tightly gripped your waist.

“Law…” you mewled his name softly.

He stopped at the sound of your voice and he wasn’t positive if he was going too far or if you wanted more. Although one thing was for sure, he wanted to hear more but only for him to hear. Retracting his face from your neck he touched his forehead against yours and lifted his hand in midair.

“Room,” he huskily exclaimed and that’s exactly where you went…into his room.
