Chapter 6 (English) end.
Next morning.
Law lay exhausted on the bed, full of Corazon's love expression from last night. The sunlight through the window made him scramble up. Looking back at his hands, his whole body was clean, perhaps Corazon had wiped him. But wait, this was not the time to appreciate it, the pain reminded him that he had been toyed all night. Law did not expect his naive and innocent Cora-san could be so experienced in bed. His technique was so... oh well. Law blushed and stopped thinking about those hot scenes last night. Today was the day Corazon left for Spain, so he had to quickly help to pack up. Even though the pain discomfort lingering in the back, he still tried to step outside.
"Clack, bang" After a series of erratic noises, Corazon was faced to the ground. Corazon crawled up on his own. He was startled because Law woke up earlier than he thought. Fortunately, everything had been prepared. Looking at Law's surprised expression, he knew he had performed very well.
Before Law's eyes was a large banquet table, although most of it was rice balls and fish. There were many large and small gift boxes full of explosives on the table. There was also a small cupcake ready with birthday candles. Perhaps because Corazon was reincarnated in Japan, routine and strangeness restrained his clumsiness, making it manageable for him to find what he was always talented at; cooking and baking. The cupcake in front of him was the result after a long night of Corazon, the black and white icing shaped like Law's face. From the fur hat to the frowning eyebrows, the cake still had a cute smile. Onigiri also appeared from nowhere with a birthday hat.
It turned out that Corazon stayed up all night to prepare, not only birthday gifts, but also Christmas gifts, Valentine's gifts, and white Valentine's gifts,... All gifts for holidays within a year were prepared. Law secretly smiled as he looked at Corazon, who busily explained each gift box for its holiday. He felt lucky that he was able to realise his feelings earlier. In his previous life, when hatred and illness clouded his sanity, it was too late for him to know his happiness. This time, no matter what, no matter how long he had to wait for Corazon, he would be here waiting for him. Because he always knew the core that connected both of them was always solid and could never be broken. A year later, Corazon returned and the two continued their happy life together.
__In the scenario where Corazon and Law have no memories of each other.___________
Grand Line cocktail bar, Kyoto, lounge.
Corazon and some classmates were chatting. It had been a long time since he had been back to Japan. Before graduating from high school, he followed his parents to Spain and built a career there. But for some reason, there was something that made him queasy every time he talked about Japan. After that year, he finally decided to return to his homeland. Although he did not directly establish the brand for the Grand Line bar, the business was still very stable, the bar manager really ran it very well like the way he managed the New World bar in Kansai.
-Hmm, the Margarita is a bit sweet?!- One of his friends spoke up.
Corazon looked back at the drinks they ordered, Old Fashion, Godfather, Sidecar and Margarita, both whiskey bases were excellently mixed, only the two sour drinks, Sidecar and Margarita, were a bit sweet. Corazon also silently noted that then he quickly found a manager to handle the work. Lingering in the small alley after seeing his friend off, he took out a cigarette. The dry and windy weather in Japan made him feel nostalgic, and he exhaled a mist of smoke.
He spotted some noise nearby, a group of aggressive-looking gangsters were surrounding the young man wearing his bar's bartender uniform. The young man's martial arts skills were quite powerful, but disadvantages in terms of numbers, he was quickly restrained and was forced to kneel down on the ground. Listening to their conversation, Corazon felt frustrated. The gang was the young man's father's creditors, and the father had run away and left a huge debt and his son's statement for the loan shark for all he cared.
Law was tired of looking at the unreasonable thugs in front of him. Before that, he had to repay a large sum of money to his father. Even now, all Father saw in him was a cash machine; even though he had completely cut off all connections. It was his father who beat him and almost killed him, with a gun; just about this made his shoulder ache slightly. The shooting scene was also the reason he left Osaka three years ago. After several years of disappearance, he found Law's information in Kyoto and gave it to debt collectors, who even came to his workplace then. He was extremely tired. It was very difficult for him to find a high-paying job and stabilize his life. After today, he would probably have to continue to go on a hike.
Looking at a guy fiercely swinging his fist at him, in this pincer position, even if he wanted to dodge, it would be difficult, he calmly accepted the incoming punch. "That's right", there was always the silhouette of that person, the man whose name he didn't know, his tall figure made people feel secure, seemingly always shielding and swinging their fists at those who bullied him. Even though it was just a blurry image, at least even if it hurt, he felt comforted because that person was always with him. Law was surprised to see the silhouette in his memory come out of the man in front of him. At that moment, Law suddenly blurted out "Cora-san?!!!"
Corazon angrily rushed forward to fight the thugs. He did not allow that poor life to suffer any more resentment. Not understanding himself, looking at that lonely figure fighting against the whole world made his heart ache, he felt it was his fault that he had to suffer that frustration. Pity?! He did not understand anymore, he just knew, I would not let anyone mock and hurt the guy behind his back, ever again.
The thugs saw that Corazon was difficult to deal with so they retreated first, leaving a harsh threat to Law. Law sat down on the ground, brushing off the dirt on his body. He remained cold and didn't say a word to the person in front of him. He didn't really hate or like cigarettes, but when he saw the man in front of him smoking, he felt unusually cheerful, perhaps because he was so similar to the figure of the person in his memory. Anyway, he had to leave here soon, Kyoto was indeed a great place, but he would not have that privilege to stay here anymore. Looking at the back of the man in front of him, he silently wondered if they would have a chance to meet again.
-The cocktail you made was delicious! Let me drink those next time
Law suddenly looked towards Corazon's broad back. Just a simple compliment made him shed tears. Perhaps the dull pain he had received until now had made him forget the feeling of joy for doing a great job "This is so bad! I can't just leave tonight!"
The next day Law went back to work, but unexpectedly, that person didn't come, so three days had passed, and he continued to wait instead of running away. Strangely enough, those thugs didn't come looking for him either. His wretched father also encountered good things. He held some grudges against the young master of the Diaz family, so he was sent to prison, and creditors no longer came to Law to settle accounts. What luck! Flipping through the newspaper, the back of the Diaz family's young master looked very familiar, as if he had seen that silhouette a hundred times before.
-Instead of looking at the back of mine in the news, you can look at me in person right in front of you!- Corazon smiled brightly. A few years in the business world made him always keep a cold face and create a safe barrier for himself, but in front of this young man, he felt like he didn't want to hide anything from him, he felt like catching up with an old friend he had known for a long time.
Law was a bit hesitant, the young master of the Diaz family was also the owner of this bar, and the one who helped him back then. Why did he help him? Law was just an ordinary employee, nothing outstanding, "That's the salvation we received". Law held his head, a clear voice rang in his head. Even though it was fleeting, it was very clear. He didn't think much about his headache, he desperately wanted to know why Corazon helped him. Suddenly a hand was placed on his hot forehead, Corazon gently checked Law's body temperature then helped him to the chair. Law still hadn't let down his guard, the fact that he received help from a big cat like Corazon even though it had no useful value was already suspicious. Even though the person in front of him acted like he had no evil intentions, he still couldn't completely let down his guard.
-Why did you arrest him?
-Are you talking about that article? It's hard to say! - When did Corazon enter the bar? Law shrunk- However, I can tell you one thing for sure, I am interested in you. Here's Penicillin, take it, maybe it'll help you clear your mind.
Penicillin, a Whiskey-based cocktail mixed with honey, ginger and fresh lemon with the same ingredient whose name seems to indicate its use, cures colds. Looking at Corazon holding a bar spoon, sipping a little on his hand and then tasting it again, as if to make sure he didn't put anything strange in the cocktail. Law didn't let down his guard just yet, but the series of actions that followed made him have a second thought. Corazon tripped and fell on the bar steps then hit his face on the floor. Before he could get up, he tripped and fell again. Before Law could regain his composure, Corazon burst out laughing.
-Is there something funny?
-No, I used to be very clumsy, maybe somehow my mind forgot that, but being reminded of that isn't bad at all.- Corazon came near Law as if his eyes were sparkling. I want to have dinner with you.
Just like that, Law correspondingly let down his guard. He initially wanted to take this opportunity to return the favor, so Law also followed Corazon to dinner. During dinner they talked to each other about what happened during the day, the little things in life. After their first dinner date, they gradually had a second, third, and many times after that. Usually, Corazon would come and suggest going out to eat together. Law didn't complain, he liked the warmth that Corazon brought. Recently, Corazon came to wait for him every day. Every meal the two of them spent a happy time together.
Law didn't notice the change in himself. He started smiling more than before and no longer felt tired after every shift. On the contrary, he was a little looking forward to it. He wanted to meet Corazon. He was also aware of the special feelings he had for him
But today, after cleaning up and closing the shop, he still hadn't seen Corazon, nor had his messages been responded to. "Has he lost interest?" The ancient Greeks believed that primitive humans had two heads, four arms, four legs and one heart, but the gods on Mount Olympus did not want humans to be so beautiful and perfect, so they separated them, humans into two. For centuries, people were always looking for their other half, but they could not easily connect their hearts, the two halves of the heart were connected together by the core that started their relationship. Some might find the true core and maintain the connection, some might just lose it all. That was why two halves of a heart may find each other but may never be together. Law and Corazon, apart from intimate meals, never talked about moving forward or about each other's feelings, their connection was nothing.
After work, Law decided to walk home instead of taking the train as usual, he needed some space to clear his mind. Exhaling a white smoke, Law quietly turned away quickly when he saw Corazon and a young lady dining in the restaurant. From Law's perspective, she was exclaiming when she received a ring from Corazon. She had blonde hair and a gentle smile, which really suited Corazon. Law smiled sadly, he wanted to believe that he still had a chance to make a step further but with the current situation, he had no right to get angry or interfere, his heart ached, just like someone was grinding it. That was suffocating. Suddenly someone grabbed his wrist.
-Puff...pant...pant.- Corazon tried to regain his breath, it could be seen that he had run here very quickly. His blond hair was messy, his forehead was drenched in sweat, but his bronze eyes still sparkled like a puppy meeting its owner. Law noticed that his vision was a bit blurry. - Sorry, my phone fell in the water, I also have an appointment to attend today, so I can't come to meet you.
Corazon raised his hand to wipe away Law's tears, realizing that Law was embarrassed and turned away. He always found him so cute at times like this. While in the restaurant, his mother noticed Law, looked at them intently for a while, then ran away without saying anything. Luckily, he caught up, he was afraid that a misunderstanding would separate the two of them, and he also didn't want the guy in front of him to be sad anymore because of anything else. He wanted to officially date him, he wanted to become his special person.
-I... wanted to give you this, but from what my mother said, it would put a lot of pressure on you because we haven't progressed that far yet.... What is it?!!!! I want to say... I like you, shall we date.- Corazon held out a ring box and then shyly refused to give it. He knew this gift was not for this occasion, but something was motivating him not to hide anything from Law. Pair of rings, even if Law had not accepted at the time, he would always keep it there waiting for Law to be ready.
-This should work, right?- Law held out his left hand with the ring. He was surprised when there was no pressure at all. On the contrary, he felt really relieved, even happy. Law looked at the ring on his hand, he felt like it was a part of Corazon that he could always bring with him all the time.- Shall we travel around the world together?
Corazon was also surprised by Law's suggestion. For some reason, in his mind, the image of a white snowstorm and the silhouette of a boy suddenly appeared. - That's strange, I also want the same thing, let's travel around the world, two of us.
Corazon pulled Law into his arms, sharing his warmth with Law. He stroked his jet-black hair to reveal those slightly shy ash-grey eyes. Bringing his eyes to meet his vision, he kissed his lips, feeling the sweetness, expressing his desire and joy.
At this time, their hearts were finally connected in the most complete way.
(P/s: As they spent more time together, they naturally regained their past life memories, but it would never be a big deal to them.)
