Work Text:
Law hadn’t wanted to do this. Every year the Hospital did some Children’s Day where one of the Doctors would be dressed up as Santa. This year, his name had come out of the list and while he had been intending to say no, his boyfriend of several years had overheard the phone call and pleaded with him to do so, even going so far as to promise to be there dressed as an elf.
He had caved, as he always did when Luffy was concerned.
Mentioning as much to the person on the other side of the line, making a note that he already had one elf to help with making sure the children stayed in line and wouldn’t keep him busy for too long.
“The things I do for you”, he had muttered, pressing close to kiss Luffy when his lover just giggled at Law’s expression.
In a way he had to admit he was looking forward to it, especially as he loved spending time with Luffy and previous Holiday Seasons meant that this didn’t happen. As a well known and well respected Cardiologist, Law was often on call even during the Holidays. Maybe even especially then, as even during those times people did stupid shit that made them need a heart surgeon to fix them up again.
Luffy pulled him closer, “I promise you’ll have fun, Tarao! I already asked Nami and Robin to help with the elf costume, so I’m sure it’ll be amazing.”
Blanching at the mention of those two women, Law was somewhat scared to know what they would put his boyfriend into. He wouldn’t put it above them, or the rest of Luffy’s friend group, to go the more sexy route just to torment him for the day.
Sighing, he hummed, “I see… And can I see that costume before we have to spend all day together?”
Part of him already knew the answer and Luffy’s grin just confirmed it. Sighing again, he pulled Luffy closer, settling on the couch in their living room to have a moment to breathe. He had a night shift coming up and he knew that Luffy, as he hated being alone, would be spending the night at his brothers’ house. Talking about brothers, he might just get Ace and Sabo to help in making sure Luffy’s costume wasn’t too much. The both of them were protective of their younger brother, enough that it had taken Law a very long time to be on good terms with both of them.
Nodding to himself, his plan was to send a message to either brother after his shift. Right now he wanted to enjoy some more time with Luffy, before they would miss each other again. He wouldn’t be seeing the other man until after his own shift, so that was close to 24 hours from now.
“Save lots of lives”, Luffy bid him, pressing a kiss to his lips as they said their goodbyes. He’d be packing an overnight bag and waiting for Ace or Sabo to come pick him up while Law took the car to work.
Smiling, he promised to do so. Knowing that everything was bound to be hectic and would result in overtime. This wouldn’t be the first time that he had an overnight shift that ended after noon because of a mass casualty coming in just before he clocked out. But he loved his job, overall, so he couldn’t quite complain.
–
His plan to rope his brothers-in-law into making sure Nami and Robin kept things down low had been blown off of the table. The moment he sent the text, both Ace and Sabo replied that they had seen the costume and he’d be fine.
Grinding his teeth, that didn’t help in the long run. He was quite certain that things would get out of hand anyway and he didn’t really want to deal with that.
Running a hand through his hair, he’d just wait and see. He’d already agreed to do this and Luffy would be staying with him during that day so he couldn’t really complain all that much. But he also knew his boyfriend and he was certain that Luffy skipping around would be hard enough to watch. Not to mention the parents of the children that would be at the hospital. Luffy could rival the sun in the way he kept attracting people, a lot of time that also meant romantically and while Luffy was as loyal as they come some other people might not be. Which added another dimension to everything if the costume Luffy was wearing was more revealing or sexy.
“What’s got you so down, Doc”, a voice asked as they sat down at the same table he was at. Looking up, he saw Penguin, Shachi and Bepo taking a seat. His friends outside of the hospital, but also part of his preferred nurses if he did do a surgery. Shaking his head, he shared what was going on with the Christmas thing, as well as Luffy joining him and having no idea what kind of costume Nami and Robin were putting him in.
The grins he got in return made it obvious his friends knew more than they let on, but none of them was sharing. It seemed that everyone was in the loop except for him and he hated it.
Frowning, he huffed, “Don’t tell me then…”
The days leading up to the Day had been quite nerve wracking. He and Luffy still spend most of the days together as he did have less appointments now. It wouldn’t do if their Santa Claus needed to bail on them in the middle of it all because of an emergency after all. So while he was glad for that, the impending event and Luffy’s presence there didn’t quite help.
Despite all his worrying, he wasn’t prepared for this. Luffy looked not unlike a normal elf, a tunic in a Christmas green, leggings with a candy candy design and those pointed shoes with bells on them. Nothing too special, and not too sexy, which is when he let himself sigh in relief.
“You look great, Love”, he had told the other man as they got dressed in Law’s office.
Luffy’s beaming smile, as well as a soft kiss helped there too. At least for now, after walking out of the door they had a role to play and neither of them wanted to explain to the children why Santa was kissing one of his elves.
–
The clothes hadn’t been any problem, but the way Luffy kept stepping into his personal space to ask questions or to mention the next child coming through was always done in that breathless whisper that Law couldn’t get enough off. He didn’t even know why Luffy would use that here.
Not for the first time he had to shift a little so he could pull at the pants of his own costume and make sure no one (and especially the children) didn’t notice the hard on he was sporting.
Luffy, the little shit, did notice if the grin on his face was any indication. He probably had been told that he could tease Law like this and it was working. As he had been so concerned with what he would be wearing, Law had completely forgotten that Luffy could be a little shit that tried to get him riled up for the smallest reason. This wouldn’t be any different.
“Shit”, he uttered, before looking back up and waving to the next child to come and sit on his lap. The line was still long, so while he could do a break it would never be enough to make sure his elf knew what he was doing with this charade.
Luckily, all in all, the day went by very fast.
The children had been happy and Law had to agree that he had fun all things considered. Still, Luffy’s grin only widened, to the point that once they got back in his office, he was pushed into his chair before Luffy plopped himself into his lap. Very obviously far enough back so he could feel Law’s erection and squirming as if to torture him even more.
“Luffy, what”, he started, before a finger pressed onto his lips, “I didn’t get to tell Santa what I wanted this year.”
Tilting up an eyebrow, Law tried to relax (as much as possible) , setting his hands on Luffy’s hips, “Oh?”
His boyfriend nodded, leaning forward with a soft moan, “I want Santa to make sure I am punished for being naughty.”
Licking his lips, especially with how Luffy was moving on his lap, creating friction onto his already painful erection. His eyes half-lidded as he leaned in close, “I’m sure I can do that…”
In the end it took them a while to get out of Law’s office, dressed with tousled hair and a very obvious hickey in Luffy’s neck. Not that either of them cared, they had both been given what they wanted this year.
