Not Leaving
"You want to watch <i>this</i> movie?" You ask, frowning down at the horror movie.
"Yes, I want to see what you humans define as horror," He rumbles. He catches your frown, and tilts his head. "Would you prefer to watch something else?" He asks. You glance toward the cute comedy you would've picked before meeting Law's silver orbs.
"We'll watch your movie this time," You tell him, giving in. He lights up a bit, tail swishing about.
"Sounds good to me," He rumbles. You pause and smile a bit before putting the disk in and sitting on the couch as it comes on. Law sits down on the couch as well, leaving you plenty of room. You settle in and give the movie your full attention. Law gets bored not even halfway through before shifting his attention to you, watching you cringe and flinch during gorey scenes. He took notice of you rubbing your arms as you become cold. He carefully slides closer to you, making sure not to draw your attention. You weren't even aware of his body pressing against yours until his tail coils around your leg. You look at it, becoming aware of the demon sitting incredibly close to you.
"Humans fear the most mild things," He comments, eyes on the tv again. You blush a bit.
"Y-you think so?" You ask, looking toward the screen. He hums in agreement, eyes trailing back to you.
"Is there something you fear?" He inquires. You look over at him, meeting his gaze, trying to think of something.
"Not really, maybe spiders?" You reply. He gives an unimpressed look.
"An <i>insect</i>?" He huffs.
"Arachnid actually," You correct. He gives you a look.
"Unbelievable," He sighs, rubbing his temple.
"What?" You question with a head tilt. He looks at you and pauses before suddenly pulling you onto his lap, making you blush heavily. "H-Hey! P-put me down!" You gasp.
"You're such an innocent, relax," He says, putting his hand on your head. You couldn't though, you were stiff, blushing heavily. His tail wraps around your waist, lifting you up with it. You gasp and swiftly hold onto him. He pauses before chuckling. "You sure are amusing," He comments, holding you against his chest with his tail and a smirk. You felt so powerless as you became nose to nose with the demon. Your eyes lock with his you were blushing heavily, watching him with wide eyes. His smirk disappeared, fingers reaching up and touching your cheek. Your eye twitched in surprise from the the contact but your orbs never left his. He tilts his head, still looking into your eyes as his fingers trail down to your chin. You feel one ghost over your bottom lip and recoil, pulling yourself from his hold.
"Excuse me," You murmur before heading into the kitchen without looking back. Law frowns, shoulders drooping as his tail lashes slightly, glaring lightly at the tv and folding his arms. You touch your lip, feeling warm all over. What was that about?! Your heart beat was going out of control at sheer memory, if it was a memory, perhaps it was a dream instead? "Yeah a dream...." You mutter.
The phone rings and you relax, reaching over and answering it. "Hello?" You ask.
'___, it's Zoro,' A male voice replies and you perk up.
"Zoro! How was the competition?" You ask cheerfully, unaware of the demon peering in at you.
'It went well, I won,' He tells you, pride evident in hos voice. You smile.
"Of course... You on your way back now?" You guess.
'Actually, could you open the door for me? My hands are kinda full,' He answers. You blink in confusion before your eyes go wide and you rush to the front door, swinging it open to see the green haired teen. He gives you a smile and you grin.
"Hey Zoro." You greet.
"Hey ___, I brought you some souvenirs," He says, holding up the box slightly.
"You didn't have to, come on in," You say, moving out of the way for him to come in. The raven haired girl behind him gives a smile as she follows suit. "So, did you have fun?" You ask as you close the door.
"Yeah, you shouldn't have seen it ___, the city was amazing," Zoro tells you, setting the box on the coffee table.
"He couldn't stop thunking about you! That's why he got you so much stuff!" The girl giggles.
"Is that so?" You chuckle, making Zoro pause.
"What did she say?" He asks.
"The usual," You answer and he blushes.
"Kuina," He whines/sighs. You and the ghost girl giggle at that.
"It's true though, I kept hearing him say--" She breaks off, eyes widening at the demon as he pulls the box open and starts to look through it. Zoro blinks at the open box, hearing things move within.
"Your dad?" He guesses, glancing at you.
"No, his name's Law, he has kinda latched onto me," You tell them. Law glances up at you, hearing you say his name.
"So he knows of your ability?" Law comments, silver eyes sliding to Zoro and lightly smacking him in the face with his tail. Zoro puts a hand over his cheek.
"O-Oi! What the hell?" Zoro huffs.
"He looks stupid," The demon observes, smacking the male with his tail again.
"Knock it off!" Zoro growls, glaring blindly. Law looks at him like he was readying himself to attack him when you swiftly get between him and Zoro.
"Please Law don't harass my guests," You request carefully. He scoffs and continues to dig through the box.
"So you got a ghost guy latched onto you?" Zoro asks. Law's silver orbs flash green and he smirks suddenly moving to you and cuddling you. You squeak in surprise, raising your arms up, unsure what to do. "Hm? What's happening?" He adds.
"He's cuddling me all of a sudden," You sigh. Law's eyes start to glow green as Zoro frowns and says a prayer, Law let's out growl and Kuina let's out a giggle before they suddenly disappear. You relax and smile. "You memorized it," You comment. He nods and smiles slightly.
"Yeah, never know when you'll need it," He says. You both smile at eachother before you break your gaze away and bring the box to you, peering in to find your favorite manga and a few interesting books, one that caught your eye was 'Exorcism'. You smile, he always seemed to know what you needed.
"Thanks Zoro, you pick the best souvenirs." You chime.
"Any time, sorry if I interrupted your movie," He says, glancing at the tv that showed someone getting killed.
"Law picked that, I wasn't that interested in it... And I think it bored him..." You muse sheepishly. He nods.
"You don't normally let ghosts stick around, is he being difficult to crossover?" He asks. You smile a bit, Zoro was the only friend of yours that knew about your ability, thanks to Kuina that is. His child hood friend died of an illness when they were young, and has always been with him. He could sense her, but that was it. It took him exactly one day for him to believe in your ability. He's been pretty cool about it all ever since.
"Well, he's not an average spirit..." You admit. Zoro raises an eyebrow at that.
"What do you mean?" He inquires. You scratch the tip of your nose.
"He's a.... Uh.... Demon...." You say carefully. His gray eyes flash in surprise.
"A <i>demon</i>?" He echoes. You nod. "Isn't it a bad idea to befriend one of them?" He questions.
"Don't worry, he seems cool, and now I have this!" You chime, holding up the Exorcism book. "Thanks Zoro!"
<i>I hope I won't have to use this though...</i>
