The Great Prescription
"It's nothing..." He says again. You frown at him.
"Right, you suddenly wanting to move in with me is nothing." You say sarcastically. He looks over at you as you focus on cleaning out the spare bedroom.
"You didn't have to let me move in." He points out.
"Law. You're my friend, and lately you've been acting weird, so I'm worried abou you... I wasn't about to turn away if you needed me." You murmur looking at a dusty old teddy bear as you spoke. He moves behind yo and puts his chin on your shoulder.
"Thank you... I'm sorry if I'm worrying you, I have a lot on my mind..." He breathes dusting off the teddy bear. You feel yourself blush.
"I-It's alright... Just, try to relax while you're here at least..." You murmur shyly. He smiles a bit and wraps his tattooed arms around you with a soft chuckle.
"I'll try, but you're so accident prone it'll be hard." He sighs releasing you.
"I am not!" You defend turning on him.
"Oh? So I didn't have to bandage up five other injuries whole you were staying with me?" He teases. You blush more and throw the teddy bear at him which he easily catches with that infuriating smirk.
"Shut up! I'm done in here!" You huff before going out and closing the door, pausing briefly to smile to yourself.
"Just use his key already." Smoker rumbles from the couch. You blink and blush with a huff.
"Shut it," You chuckle going over and taking his key. He pauses, starting to blush when you put his key in your pendant. "It fits.." You mutter and turn the key a bit too hard and hear a snap. You both freeze and pale as you pull out half of his key.
"I'll call the blacksmith!" He gasps taking the key and pendant. You nod and straighten up feeling slightly panicked.
"___," Law comes out of the room and you stiffen slightly and look back.
"Y-yeah?" You ask. He raises an eyebrow.
"I'm going to the store, you wanna come?" He inquires.
"Oh, Uh, sure." You offer a smile going over to him. He smiles as well leading you out.
"You okay? You look stiff." He comments watching you discreetly.
"I'm fine, I'm great!" You smile nervously.
"I bet, you must be happy that Smoker's key broke in your pendant." He hums. You blink and sigh.
"I kinda thought it would work... Now we have to take it to a blacksmith." You murmur looking down.
"Hey, don't worry about it, Smoker-ya will get it fixed." He hums.
"Yeah.." You murmur. You weren't worried about the pendant being out of commission for a while. What was bothering you was, no one's key was fitting. Well, you didn't know if Law's did yet. But what if his didn't fit either? Who else was there other than a complete stranger?
Law glances at you as you became silent and frowns softly before starting to grab things for himself and dinner. You pushed the cart for him lost in thought.
"Oh how sweet and cute." An elderly woman rasps, drawing both of your gazes. She smiles softly at you both, crystal blue eyes deep and wise, with a hint of sadness.
"Excuse me?" You ask carefully.
"I always admire when I see soulmates together. So sweet and lovely... I never found my soulmate you see, and now I feel that I may never will... This pendant is a reminder of a big part of my life that I'll never know..." She holds her old scratched up pendant in her hand. "But when I see others that have found their other half, it let's me see what might've been..." She looks back at you and Law and smiles. "Be happy for me, won't you?"
"Of course," You smile at her softly. She nods and carries on to the next aisle. You drop your gaze biting your lip.
"Is that going to be me?" You whisper without realizing. Law turns you to him and you blink, meeting his soft silver gaze.
"I promise you, it won't." He breathes pulling you into a warm hug. You blink and blush before hugging him back.
"Law..." You murmur hiding your face in his shoulder. He rubs your back gently.
"You're worrying too much ___. That's not healthy... As your doctor I order you to go on vacation." He breathes. You blink and giggle softly.
"Vacation Huh? Sounds like a good prescription..." You muse.
"I know," He smirks cockily. "But you can't go alone. So you pick someone to go with you, and I'll handle the rest."
"What are you planning Law?" You ask curiously.
"Your vacation... Warm or cold?" He asks.
"You gotta let me think about it Law." You murmur with a blush.
"Alright... Just give me a smile for now." He requests. You blink and smile shyly. "There we go, my patient is looking better now."
"You're a sneaky doctor you know." You giggle softly.
"Got you to smile though." He rumbles pushing the cart with you. You giggle.
"I can't believe she called you cute." You tease.
"Why? Because you admit I'm much more than cute?" He purrs lightly. You blush more and look away.
"Shut it, you're so conceited..." You mutter.
"Mm I think you like it," He sneaks an arm around you as he puts the groceries on the belt to be scanned. You blush more and swallow keeping your gaze off of him.
"D-Don't be ridiculous..." You mutter. He smiles and takes the bags while you put the cart up and go to help him carry the bags.
"You're so red right now you look sunburnt." He smirks.
"Shut up, I'll kick your ass..." You grumble, he chuckles softly and kisses your cheek swiftly.
"Come on, let's go." He says when you look up at him. He walks ahead and you follow, smiling to yourself.

You sniff staggering for their room and going in, climbing onto their bed and curling up shaking. You tense hearing the door open and look over as a silhouette crawls into bed with you pulling the blankets over you both.
"Come here..." Law murmurs. You turn to him and he pulls you into a warm embrace. "I got you... It's okay ___." He whispers. You relax and cuddle up to him.
"Hey Law... How did you know I was here?" You ask quietly.
"I went to get a drink and checked on you but you weren't there so I came to find you. Are you okay?" He inquires.
"I had that dream again... Of when they left me at Kid's house to play while they went to get a surprise.... But this time I noticed the pink car that followed them... A blond man with sunglasses gives me a big smile as he drives passed... Now I have a bad feeling in my chest." You murmur. You felt him grow cold and hold you tighter. "Am I going crazy...?" You ask.
"No... You're not... That man you just described... He killed my parents... Took the riches that they had left over from unlocking their pendant. They signed it all over to him to save me... And then he...." He starts to shake. You blink and hug him tighter.
"Shh.... It's okay Law... We're safe... It's okay..." You whisper softly, pulling back to cup his cheek. "Maybe we both need a vacation...?"
"Yeah. A vacation sounds nice..." He agrees, holding you closer and pressing his forehead to yours.
