wow so

I've been itching to revive my prince AU but have kept running into multiple deadends. And then it hit me.

What if Sabolaw arranged marriage?

Law wakes up one day to hear that he's set to get married to a prince from the East kingdom, known for its stability and powerful figures. According to Corázon, it wasn't Garp or even Doffy who arranged this marriage.

No, it's that little brat Monkey D. Luffy Law tutored for a horrible few six months.

And not just that. Luffy set him up with his brother Sabo. The smart one and the smart ass. Law couldn't believe it. Luffy hated him that much, huh?

Not much detail for now (thank God, I know). All I know is, Sabo wants to run away and suggests that Law runs with him. Law, thinking that he's joking, says no. Sabo smiles, conceals his hurt from the rejection and carries on.

One night, Law actually finds Sabo packing to run away. Law shouldn't be shocked and yet he is. Sabo's serious when it comes to things that matter.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

Sabo smiles. "Running away!"

"And the fake body?"

Sabo puckers his lips. "I died!"

Law frowns. "Are you crazy? No, people will think I killed you!"

"No one will think that! You love me—everyone knows that. You'll be the last person they suspect, I assure you."

Law thinks Sabo's absolutely insane for doing this. Sabo was running here and there, monologuing over whether he should bring this or that.

He had an oversized backpack. Law knew that ultimately, he'll go light with his valuables, water bottle and a good book. He won't even bring extra clothes. This young man is a disaster and Law knew it. He'll miss talking about books with a smart man every night.

"Why are you looking at me?" Sabo said. "I love the attention but-"

"I'll go."

Sabo gasped. "Y-you?"

"Unless it ruins a plan," Law said. "I don't want to get in the way."

"Not at all!" Sabo was absolutely delighted. And then he looked serious. It scared Law a bit. "You're never in the way. I'm honoured."

And Sabo helped Law pack and off they went!

They go on shenanigans and go crazy. Sabo takes Law dancing and drinking. Sabo makes Law do stupid things, like ride on a drunk horse who kicked him off. Law is made to watch Sabo do stupid things out of 'courtship'. They get into fights with each other and strangers.

They bathe in random lagoons.

Law didn't like worrying about money. Law didn't like not knowing if they could eat the next day. Law didn't like Sabo making him wake up at dawn to run away from guards. He didn't appreciate Sabo not knowing what the fuck he was doing but he knew that he was at least okay with Sabo eating messily and laughing more loudly without decorum to worry about.

And yet, once or twice, Law catches Sabo staring at him with this soft look. Sabo's eyebrows relaxed and his lips part slightly. It's like nothing mattered more to him than Law's life.

"Law, do you mind if I ask you a strange question, since we're alone."

"Of course."

Sabo fumbled in his pocket and took out a small box. There's a ring inside, a more modest one than the one Sabo used to propose to Law for the press in the palace. It's silver with a small heart engraving.

"Will you marry me?" Sabo said so softly Law almost didn't catch him.

"We're already married?"

"For politics yes, but for love?"

Law laughed. That was so stupid. Sabo was careless in many things but the ring he bought fit perfectly on Law's finger. He blushed when Law teased him about it. Sabo said he took Law's love for him very seriously.
