"y.n I don't think you should keep erasing his memory like that. He was like a clueless duck at work today. It messes him up"

Raven sipped her hot tea and burned herself in the process and you had to hold your laugh.

"It's for his own good, Raven. He will end up as a snack if anyone finds out he found out that there are non-human forces here. The Union will send assassins after him and there is nothing we can do to protect him."

You sighed. Yes, that was the reason you were erasing his memory. But deep down you knew that's not all. What if he hated you for what you are?

Shaking your head you got up.

"Well, I gotta go."

You waved at the werewolf and turned into a bat, flying out the window.

The air was chilly, winter was upon you. In fact, the blood moon happened to fall on the winter equinox. Which wasn't great because they were both powerful forces controlling the mythical society. This year wasn't gonna be easy and everyone knew it. As you flew you realized that you're going the wrong way and you are in fact not on your way home, but on your way to Law's home.

"What is wrong with me.... maybe I should check on him anyway..."

You flew down to his window. He was seated by it but his back was facing it so he had no vision on you. You looked down and noticed the album in his hands. The album looked new but the pictures in it were not. In fact, most of them had burns around the edges, some mostly burned.

"Mom, dad, Lami, don't worry about me okay? I miss you so much..... Why did that accident have to happen..."

Your heart broke as you heard his cracking voice. What accident was he speaking of? From the sadness of his voice, you could tell that his family is probably dead. You sighed and flew away. He did seem okay, right? He would get through this right?

How naïve you were, how wrong you were...

You flew home and settled in for the night. You were too tired to think of anything. Sleep washed over you like a wave in a summers night and you found your vision blur as the sound of the wave calmed you from within, luring you to the dream world.

The next morning was a typical Saturday. You woke up to the smell of Sanji's cooking and Zoro's weights clanking. It was unusually peaceful as you laid in bed listening to the chirp of birds that nest on the tree by your window. You had planted that tree over two hundred years ago and it had become your little joy. You even switched your original room because you wanted to be closer to your precious little sapling. The birds, they looked after your tree, eating all pests and insects. And in return you let them stay there.

You sighed and got up, stretching and humming as the weak sun warmed your body up. It was somewhat cloudy so the hidden sun had just the perfect amount of light and warmth for your delicate body. You stepped down the stairs carefully, still drowsy, and wandered to the kitchen.

"Is that bacon I smell?"

You hummed as a small smile plastered on your lips and you sat down.

"Yes, y.n-chwan~~~"

Sanji noodle danced around you and you let out a soft giggle.

Everyone else was slowly gathering around the table and settling in and for a moment all your problems and worries were gone. There was such peace that you just wanted to close your eyes and roll on the cool grass outside after your breakfast. Maybe get on some catnip and get wild.

"You seem rather in peace today."

Zoro hummed as he seated himself next to you.

"It's a beautiful day, I got a good nights rest, and there is bacon. What else would a girl want?"

You murmured lazily with your chin resting in your hand and eyes closed.

"How about some money?"

Nami chimed in.

"Or more books"

Robin added.

"Well, I got both so no worries for that."

you opened your eyes as Sanji placed the plates down and served your food and started eating.

"Sanji your food is the best"

You complimented and everyone agreed on it, except for Zoro who called him a shit cook as he stuffed his face like a savage.

Luffy was fighting with Usopp as he kept trying to steal from his food and brook was staring intensely at his tea. Which was hilarious as he had no eyes. As he would say, Yohohohoho.

"So what's everyone's plan for today?"

Franky asked and everyone talked at the same time as always.

"I'm going to the library. I need books related to the blood moon."

You announced. You somehow felt at peace, like everything will be okay.

"Can I go with you?"

Robin asked.

"Yes, of course!"

You smiled and you decided to meet outside in ten minutes. You got up and retreated to your room after breakfast to get ready. Deciding on simple clothes you just threw on some sweatpants and a loose hoodie to fight away the cold. Feeling happy and comfortable you hopped your way to your car. Robin already there waiting for you.

"Let's go"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you got to the library you and Robin separated as you wanted different books. Wandering through the library you glanced at the statues and paintings. Raven had made most of them herself throughout the years. And they were each a masterpiece everyone admired.

"Oh, sorry."

You apologized as you bumped into someone. Looking up your heart sank as you realized its Law.

You were sure to go there on his day off. Why was he there?

"Hello, y.n-ya"

He greeted and you nodded and whispered a hello.

"What are you doing here?"

You asked curiously.

"Oh, just wanted some books that's all."

"Cool, see you in school"

You spoke as you awkwardly walked the same way. You mentally stabbed yourself repeatedly as you despised awkwardness like this.

"So, what kind of books are you looking for?"

You broke through the awkward silence shadowing over you.

"Supernatural books. They piqued my interest."

He hummed. You had to hold back from letting out a sigh.

"Me too, I'm writing a horror story for the upcoming blood moon."

You lied as you both searched for books that suited your interest best.

"Let me read it when you're done"

He smirked. Great, now you had to write a horror story just so you can keep up the stupid lie.

You sat by each other, each reading your own book in silence. It was quite peaceful. It actually felt like your ideal date and you blushed at the thought.

"Your face is red, do you have a fever?"

Law was quick to catch onto your redness.

"N-no I'm okay!"

You stuttered as he leaned in to touch your forehead.

"If you say so"

He hummed as he made sure you do not have a fever.

The rest of the time was spent quietly reading. Just the sound of paper and both of you taking notes. You were sure that there is no reason Law is reading up on different lores as you had erased his memory.

Eventually, he grabbed a few books and said bye to you and left after checking them out. You just spent the rest of your day reading up but there was really nothing useful.
