Finally I Realised What I Felt Seeing Them Two - Tumblr Posts

law being luffys third big brother has been invading my brain nonstop

luffy would just randomly blurt out something like "torao, you know you're my brother now right?" and law would get all pissy and upset bc he doesn't know how to feel about it. he grew up without any siblings, or anyone at all really. he had his crew of course, but no one's ever made him feel like family except for cora-san. he doesn't even know how to be a big brother. why would the strawhat even want him as a brother figure of all people? from what he's heard about fire fist-ya and sabo-ya, their personalities were vastly different.

he figures it was probably just a joke, one of strawhat-ya's silly comments, and tries to forget about it. but luffy doesn't let up and keeps calling him his brother to the point he even introduces him that way to new people they meet on different islands.

eventually he'd snap, telling luffy off ("you know I'm not your brother, we aren't even blood related in the slightest! not by a single drop! so cut it out, strawhat-ya!") and pushing off one of luffy's many hug attacks. luffy would be taken aback for a second before bursting out in laughter, confusing law even further before he speaks

"torao's stupid." he pointedly ignores law's complaint at the insult, "brothers don't need to be blood related! I'm not blood related to sabo or ace either. I call you big brother cause you act like one! I know you wouldn't let anyone talk bad about me just how I'd never let anyone talk bad about you. you're protective. we argue but I know we've got eachother's back. I love you how I love all my brothers and nakama torao, there's nothing you can do about it!"

he laughs even more and runs off pestering sanji for food as if he hadn't just turned law's world upside down. the strawhat ... loved him like a brother? he really valued him this much? ("I'd never let anyone talk bad about you") and he strangely already knew that law cared for him more than he outwardly admitted. the surgeons heart was threatening to burst with affection and he started tearing up before he could stop himself, and all because of strawhat-

no.

all because of his little brother.
