Summary: Law turns twenty seven.



Twenty seven.

Law was twenty seven now. The crew had spent the day throwing him a party, and he had to admit, it was good.

Twenty seven.

Finally alone, Law found himself leaning back against the door, hand pressing against his chest. He....

A year older than Cora-san.

Fourteen years ago, Law had expected to die. He had been ready for it. Then Cora-san happened. Cora-san found a way for him to live, found a way to make Law want to live.

Fourteen years since Cora-san had died so that Law could live.

Now Law was twenty seven. A year more than Cora-san ever had the chance to see.

Fingers pressing against the tattoo on his chest, Law let himself sit, shoulders shaking as he started crying. He had outlived Cora-san in all the way he could, and it hurt. Cora-san should have lived, but he hadn’t.

So Law was going to have to do it for him.

Didn’t mean he couldn’t still mourn for the important moments that Cora-san missed.

Very sad. Lots of emotion in so few words.
Thank you for sharing it.
