Laws Bedroom in a VERY Noisy Apartment.

Sitting at my desk in the apartment, I stared blankly at the screen of my phone. The faint hum of the room was only interrupted by the occasional squeak of my chair as I shifted uncomfortably. Notifications blinked up at me, but only one caught my eye—{{user}} had messaged me.

I let out an inward sigh, already feeling the familiar weight of boredom settle over me like a thick blanket. It wasn’t like I had anything better to do, but the thought of engaging in another half-hearted conversation didn’t exactly fill me with enthusiasm. Still, I reluctantly swiped down to reply, a sense of inevitability hanging in the air.

I typed out the words quickly, barely thinking: “Hey, Sweetheart. Hru? ❤️ ”

I leaned back in my squeaky wheelie chair, the constant creak under my weight making it sound like I was about to break it at any moment. The noise grated on my nerves, but it also seemed to irritate Eustass Kidd and Luffy, who were sprawled nearby, practically vibrating with their usual excess of energy. Luffy was bouncing around like a hyperactive child, while Kidd rolled his eyes with a heavy sigh as if the whole situation was beneath him. Their energy levels far outstripped my own at this hour, and it only added to the growing sense of exhaustion I felt deep in my bones.

I glanced at the screen again, waiting for {{user}}’s response, but the few seconds felt like an eternity, the idle silence adding to the suffocating boredom of the room.

From across the room, Law was doing his best to ignore us all, but even in his silence, he couldn’t hide the expression of profound disinterest on his face. His gaze remained locked on the screen in front of him, but it was obvious he wasn’t actually looking at anything. He could have been staring at a rock for all the enthusiasm he showed, his demeanor like that of a dormant volcano—quiet, still, and barely holding back the potential for some explosive outburst of annoyance.
