Your eyes ease open to a metallic ceiling, making you pause. You didn't feel sick at least as you sit up. "Where am I?" You murmur looking around before getting out of bed. You grab your backpack before easing out carefully.

"You're awake!" A white high bation makes you jump, looking at the polar bear. "Captain told me to come check on you. He'll be happy you're okay." He chimes.

"Your captain...?" You hum. He nods before beconing to follow him. You didn't feel threatened at all so maybe these beings were friendly. You both reach the control room and you stop, heart skipping a beat as you recognize the snow leopard bation.

"Cap-" Before the high bation can speak you hug the captain from behind, making him stiffen.

"Law!" You grin at him when he looks back. He blinks and relaxes slightly.

"I'm glad you're feeling well." He rumbles turning to you.

"Of course. I thought once that wormhole spat me out I'd be drifting forever." You breathe. "It is so good to see you." You smile at him warmly. His ears flicker about before he looks away with pink tinted cheeks.

"Good to see you too... You got separated from Stawhat-ya I take it?" He guesses.

"Yeah... I did something dumb and reckless. Which is how I ended up here I suppose..." You frown at the floor. Law's ears flatten at that, frowning as well. "But at least a stranger didn't find me this time." You smile back at him, his ears perk again and he offers a small smile.

"I'll return you to them." He assures lightly.

"Thanks Law... It's really good to see you again." You breathe. His ears flicker a bit before looking around.

"Use the Vivre to find Strawhat-ya." He orders his crew. "Come, I'll give you a tour." He adds, leading you away. He relaxes once its the two of you. "I read the news, seems that you and your crew have been busy... But you didn't get a wanted poster..." His ears droop at that.

"... Why do you look down that I didn't have a poster?" You raise an eyebrow at him. His ears flatten and he looks away with a blush.

"I'm not down about it." He scoffs. You smile a bit at that.

"Thats too bad I would've let you take a picture of me if thats what you want." You hum thoughtfully. He pauses at that. "But you gotta give me a picture of yourself in return." You breathe. He meets your gaze, ears flickering about. "... Bations are so cute." You gush petting his ears. His ears flatten, quickly glancing around before frowning at you as pink dusts his cheeks.

"You shouldn't mess with a Bation's ears." He warns lightly.

"Oh... Sorry... I just love them..." You pull your hand away.

"It's fine with my ears, it just tickles. Others could be sensitive or painful." He points out. You pause, peering at his ears again, slowly reaching for them again. He lets out a slight huff, tilting his head so you can pet them. "Dont get used to this." He murmurs.

"I'm not. Just enjoying this little privilege." You smile. He closes his eyes quietly, your fingers brush through his hair after you finish petting his ears. 'So soft like cat fur.' You think, fingers combing through his hair. A quiet rumbling sound leaves his throat and you stop, moving your other hand over your grin as it breaks across your face. Was he purring?

His eyes drift open, pupils slitted with a small glare at you, cheeks darkening more. "Alright, that's enough..." He grumbles pulling away.

"Hehehe! You are like a cat!" You giggle in amusement. "So cute!" He scowls briefly, stepping even closer and making you pause as his lips pull up into a smirk, showing a fang.

"You're pretty cute too." He breathes huskily. You blink feeling your cheeks heat up. "Like that." He teases, poking your cheek. You pause and scoff, looking away.

"Careful kitten, I bite." You warn. His smirk grows into a mischievous smile leaning forward, peering at your face.

"What a coincidence, so do I." He whispers. You swallow, meeting his gaze. Was this his payback for you messing with him? Your eyes narrow at him slightly and you cup his cheek, making him pause, eyes widening slightly.

"I'm glad we got to meet. Everything is so great thanks to you." You breathe, kissing the tip of his nose. He blushes wildly before hiding his face in your shoulder.

"Dammit..." He mutters.

"Thats okay, next time." You smile lightly, petting his head softly. His ears flicker about in response. He pulls you closer, hugging you warmly. You nuzzle his shoulder and hug him back.

"I havent stopped thinking about you since Earth. When I saw you last I wanted to take you with me. And show you everything... It's weird isn't it?" He says quietly.

"I don't think so. It's been the same for me... Everytime I see a yellow ship I get excited that it might be you." You admit sheepishly. His ears perk at you and he pulls back before smiling.

"That so? Shall I show you some more of the ship?" He inquires.

"Sure."

You smile looking out the window at a passing planet. Everyone else had gone to bed, but you couldn't sleep. Honestly, you kind of wanted to be cuddled tonight. Made you miss Luffy really.

"I hope you're all okay..." You murmur.

"I'm sure they are." Law's voice makes you jump slightly and look over as he comes over. "You must be tired. Why are you still up?" He inquires.

"I wont tell you..." You huff before smiling. "What are you doing up?" You inquire.

"I wanted to check on you while I was getting a drink. But you weren't there." He informs bluntly.

"Sorry..." You hum sheepishly, rubbing your cheek. "Actually. I just got a bit cold."

"Cold? I can change the temperaturein your room." He offers.

"Thats okay... I'll be fine." You assure. He blinks, tilting his head before realization flickers through his eyes.

"Alright.... Well, you can crawl in with me if you cant sleep. I dont mind." He says turning away. "Check in soon." He adds before starting off. You hesitate before going to join his side. He peers at you and smiles briefly, tail brushing over your legs. It tickled a bit and you giggle lightly. He hums in amusement, tail bringing you closer. You blink and glance at him as his ears flicker.

"Thanks Law." You murmur. "I don't think I have thanked you for helping me this time." You rub your cheek.

"There's no need for thanks. I was just doing what I wanted." He says lightly.

"Huh. Sounds a bit selfish." You comment.

"I can be." He opens the door to his room and you ease in, taking it all in.

".... Boring..." You mutter, peering around it. He pauses, ears flattening at that.

"Boring..." He echoes.

"Yea... It's such a simple layout... You can usually tell alot about a person from there room so..." You put a knuckle to your chin.

"Simple..." He breathes.

"Hey. You okay?" You peer back at him. He doesn't respond, seeming a bit offeneded. "Oh! I-I wasn't saying you're boring or anything!" You add swiftly, realizing why he was making that sour face.

"Oh? Then what do you think of me?" He inquires, tail lashing as he picks you up. You meet his gaze, his ears folded back.

"I think... You're sweet, and thoughtful but you dont want your crew to know it." You hum, brushing his cheek softly. He pauses, cheeks darkening. "You're strong too, the bounty on your head says so. And even if I don't know much about you. I know you're loyal and so good." You bring your other hand over his other cheek. He searches your face for a moment.

"Kiss me." He requests softly. You blink, blushing heavily as he lowers you slightly so you were nose to nose with him. His eyes seemed to be glowing slightly. You felt hypnotized, leaning down and kissing him. He lets out a slight breathe as if he hadnt expected you to comply. His lips press against yours warmly, as he sets you on the bed gently. "Goodnight." He whispers when he pulls away.

"Yeah... Good.. Goodnight." You manage. He smiles, touching his temple to yours before crawling into bed. He settles in and you join him once your heart had calmed down. You move to curl up but he pulls you close, curling against you with a hum. You smile as he cuddles your shoulder. You smile and nuzzle his hair softly.
