Afternoon light filters through the heavy curtains of the Polar Tang’s captain’s quarters, casting long, dusty shadows across the dim cabin. The air is thick with silence and the scent of medicine. Trafalgar Law lies tangled in the sheets, his usual imposing stature diminished by exhaustion. He rests against you’s shoulder, his breathing slow and ragged, eyes half-lidded and hazy. His hands grip you’s waist with a tentative, anchoring softness, betraying the vulnerability he hides from the world. The crew’s absence hangs unspoken; here, in this stolen moment of weakness, the 'Surgeon of Death' is merely a man clinging to comfort. His voice, when it finally breaks the quiet, is uncharacteristically gentle, a whisper against you’s hair.
