Pulling My Strings 〆『Law x Reader』

TE?

Chopper turned to me in his high chair, his smile turning to a beaming grin. "Of course! I'm sure Usopp and I would enjoy the company!"

I nodded in thanks, "Plus, I would like to learn some of the techniques you use!" Chopper said, spreading his furred arms wide.

"Sounds like a plan," I said while standing up. "I'll need a full night's rest if we are going to hike for the majority of the day. So I'm going to turn in for the night," I said while picking up my plate. I shifted my wings into a comfortable position as I stood.

"Let me get that for you, F/N~Chan!" Sanji said joyfully as he swooped over and took the plate out of my hands.

    "Thank you," I said as I watched his eyes turned to hearts. He placed my plate in the sink and started washing it, singing a happy tune. I sighed at his immaturity.

     As I started walking for the door I was stopped by a hand on my shoulder, "Where are you going F/N?" Luffy asked with heavy inaudibility because of the food in his mouth. He had stretched his arm across the room to put his hand on my shoulder.

     I turned and pried his fingers off of me, smiling at him. "I'm going to bed. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" I said with a small wave, shifting my wings so they wouldn't drag onto the floor.

    Opening the dining room door, I left with short goodbyes.

The booming night sky seemed to go on forever, the ocean making it seem as though it was just this ship and the stars left in the world.

A stream of light emitted from the moon and lit up the ocean, sending a gleam of white to cover the water. Even with it being night, I could still see in front of me.

My bare feet padded on the moist wood, earlier in the day there had been a sudden burst of rain that ended up soaking everyone outside.

Hopping from the Sunny to Law's yellow submarine, I made sure to not move my wings. The temptation to glide had to be shoved down.

Exhaustion swept over me and I got the heavy dread of wanting to sleep. My vision went in and out of focus, making me stumble on my feet. Lifting my legs felt like they were made of solid iron.

Staggering into the submarine, I ventured the hallways on my journey to my bedroom. Taking the familiar turns to get there.

I slid my hand along the cold, metal wall as I walked down a rather long corridor. About to make a turn into the hallway with my room, I bumped into someone.

I yelped as I stumbled onto my bottom, rubbing my nose. "I'm sorry, F/N~ya," Law apologized as he offered me his hand.

"It's okay. I wasn't paying attention." I took his hand and pulled myself up. The color in his face had returned to its normal tan shade, though his eye bags were still sunken in his cheeks.

He said my name I realized I was staring. I frowned as I said, "Those eye bags don't do you justice. You should get more hours of sleep. I doubt you get any more than four hours of rest a night," I finished with a sigh.

Law bit his lip, the only sign he would show of embarrassment. "I have lots of work to do, there is no time to rest. I get my energy from coffee, I'll be fine." Law pushed past me and I turned to watch him walk.

But when he stopped and braced himself on the wall, I rushed over. His head was leaned over with his palms pushing into his eyes.

"You're going to sleep, now. You can't protect your friends if you fall asleep on the battlefield." I said, making a small and unusual joke.
