(Y/N) felt her legs weaken in fear, it was the same intimidating boy from before, the one with scary eyes, when he whipped his head to her, she almost died on the spot seeing that he seemed to have remembered her too, his stare was even more intense than before, but thankfully this time it wasn't holding any aggressive intent, although she was still on her guard for any hostile movements.

Instead, she quirked her head to the side seeing the boy stare at her in distress, almost like he was the one who was afraid of her, just when she thought the boy wasn't going to do anything, he quickly stood up straight and fixed his posture so he was as straight as a stick, "oh, I never expected to be seeing you, but I guess that is luck" he quickly mummered.

The (H/C) blinked at his sudden switch in behavior but soon felt a smile grace her lips, maybe this guy wasn't as bad as she first thought as well, so trying to gather up her act, she cautiously walked up to him and extended out her hand, "I'm sorry about before, you kinda spooked me and I was in a hurry..at the time, uh, well my name's (L/N) (Y/N)" she proudly chimed.

Law looked down at the hand and smirked before carefully gripping onto her hand and shaking it, "I was also in a hurry at the time, I am sorry that I frightened you, my name is Trafalgar Law, but my acquaintances call me Traffy" (Y/N) blinked at the big word, "a-cue-taste-es? They sound like friends to me" Law only paused at her response and gulped, Smoker wasn't kidding when he said they were living on the streets this whole time.

"Ah well, I guess they think themselves as friends, but I am not really the 'buddy-buddy' type" the girl then paused herself and then placed on a mask of horror, "you don't have any friends!? That's terrible! You're scary so I understand why no one would try to talk to you, but you're actually super nice! How could there be no one that has enough backbone to approach you!?" Law was once again speechless by the female, she was blunt, straightforward, he never met a noble like her before.

Suddenly, the raven gasped when he felt his face grow hot, he was blushing, and in front of the most intriguing woman he's ever met! "U-uh you are quite straightforward (Y/N)" mayday, mayday, Law she's getting to you, stop talking.

Darting his eyes around for anything to help distract him, Law finally zoomed in on the decent amount of luggage behind her, "oh, uh, let me take these bags for you, uh just go in and my parents will welcome you" watching him dive towards the stacks of bags, (Y/N) turned to the door left open and entered.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Y/N) blinked when he suddenly became flustered and shooed her into the marble building, inside she curiously glanced at everything that caught her eye and smirked, on the walls she fondly examined the many family portraits of Law and two other adults, one was of the two blondes holding a tiny bundle- soon being able to realize that the tiny bundle was Law, then there was another one with Law as a young teen, glaring up at both parents who squished his face in between them, making (Y/N) smile, seems like noble families weren't so different from rebels.

After soaking in the paintings a little while longer, the female continued to the next painting and paused, instead of another family portrait, it looked as if Law made this one himself in his childhood, it was a scrabble of a tiny black haired stick figure, holding a giant sword and fighting against a giant black wolf, there were words hastily painted on top, 'the amazing surgeon of death' is what she made out.

The (H/C) stared and stared some more at the painting, it made her think, just what did the nobles think of the monsters? It was a question she never considered asking, but one she wanted to know all the same, "yes that painting sure is cute is it not?" (Y/N) nearly swung her arm out to knock the intruder out cold but refrained herself seeing the friendly looking woman.

Seeing her almost violent response, the blonde female swiftly raised her arms in defense and started to chuckle, "sorry, sorry, I completely forgot that you are a jumpy one" (Y/N) smiled and was able to relax along with her when the woman extended a hand, "I am Chloe, your new guardian, the other guy in the portrait is Cora, but he is not here right now at the moment" the teen shook her hand with a smile until she saw Chloe's fade when her eyes trailed down to her scars, feeling subconscious about them she hastily ripped her arm away and looked back to the wall.

"Oh I am sorry dear, I do not mean to make you feel uncomfortable, it just really makes me feel sour to know that there are people out there who do these sort of sick things" (Y/N) glanced down at her wrists and blinked, so 'abused' did tie to her scars.

Chloe then took in a deep breath before suddenly looping her arms around her, the kind act made (Y/N) go stiff and feel her instincts tell her to toss the woman off, but she knew the blonde had good intentions and allowed her to ensnare her with her appendages a little while longer, but just for awhile.

Finally when she did let her go, a familiar looking man walked in and brightly smiled at her in greeting, "oh hello!" then he also noticed her scars and faltered a small bit- subtly but still faltered all the same, "oh..oh, I did not think it would be that...bad" while Chloe seemed to have glared holes into his head, (Y/N) just smiled at him and shook her head, "oh it's no problem, thank you for letting me stay here" they both nodded and smiled.

"Oh and that is not all, you have met Law right?" Chloe blinked and smiled at her husband, "so he let her in?" Cora nodded his head and smiled even wider, "I heard the two of you talking out there, I think Law likes you" Chloe then happily began to squeal in excitement while (Y/N) just blinked in acknowledgement, was the raven possibly infatuated with her? "He does?" Cora nodded.

"Oh my god! He is finally interested in a girl! GRANDKIDS HERE I COMEEE!" Cora and Chloe then proceeded to dance around together like a couple of excited kids singing songs of tiny babies and old people, leaving (Y/N) to laugh at their silliness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Law cursed himself again and again as he laid on top of all the luggage (Y/N) brought with her, what on earth was that? One moment he thought he could handle the situation just like he did plenty of times with other women, and then the next everything went off the rails and he found himself babbling before thinking, something completely against of what he thought and believed.

It was almost like being in her mere presence instantly made his instincts kick in and take the reins, it was almost terrifying to him, all his life he has been careful to be in constant control over every single action he made after thoroughly thinking about it but then, he lost that in an instant.

Was it because he was infatuated with her and wanted to charm her with his quick wit and intelligence? Or was he simply not prepared for the questions she asked?

The raven then decided it was a simple lack of knowledge that screwed him over, whenever the girls at school flirted or tried to pick up a conversation with him, he already knew of their reputation and basic personality and predicted everything they were capable of doing, and he was never wrong.

But (Y/N) was a whole new story, she was new, completely new, she was like an exotic cobra, an invasive species that snuck into the mouse's hole, enchanting him into a stupor, paralyzing his body so he couldn't chicken out and run, choking the air out of his very lungs so he couldn't have anything intelligent to say, and then, strikes him with her unpredictable personality, as if they were fangs.

Law smirked as he covered his eyes with the back of his hand, he had to admit it, the (H/C) was like no one he's ever met before, and he was definitely interested in her, even though it might prove to be a bigger challenge than he might prefer it to be, but that made her even more worthwhile to keep in his hold.
