Dear Lale! With Law's upcoming birthday (Oct 6th) I was wondering how he was celebrating his birthday (if he does?) - what do u think? Can we get a little headcanon??

oh myyy, of course you can my sweet child!! just thinking about Law wearing a sparkly party hat and hating every second of it makes me giggle. here's how i imagine it going down:

for Law, his birthday is like any other day of the year and he'd rather forget about it. are you and the rest of the crew up for this? no way.

so you're planning a surprise party for him, huh? this is the one day of the year you can show him how grateful all of you are for him.

good for you that this man rarely leaves the library or infirmary, depending whatever he's working on at the moment. no need to come up with a tricky diversion to keep him away from the common room

does he like surprises? not really, and ever since his alliance with the Strawhats even less (poor boy aged like 50 years any time one of them didn't stick to his plans)

does he like sweet food? also not really, but there's no birthday without a birthday cake and you insist on baking it yourself (it will turn out surprisingly good and Law will eat up the whole thing, pretending he's just doing it to avoid food waste but secretly enjoying every sweet bite of it, knowing it was made with love)

Penguin and Shachi are on present wrapping duty and will really outdo themselves, in the end even half of the interior will be wrapped in fancy paper and oppulent ribbons

being the tallest of the crew, Bepo and Jean Bart are in charge of party decorations such as garlands, confetti and balloons. Bepo will yell at everyone who doesn't stick to his color scheme

there's even a piñata that will get destroyed with one hit by Law later, causing minor injuries because candy will splatter everywhere

after everyone received first aid ("making me work on my birthday, tsk") the party goes on and on

when no one's looking Law's face will go from his usual 😐 to a slight smile, grateful for the work everyone put into this

you're able to catch that rare smile on camera and oh, you will carry this photo with you everywhere from now on, together with his vivre card

there will also be a group selfie that will turn out a bit blurry since everyone had a little bit too much fruit punch. the photo will be framed on your captain's desk a few days after.

"this was your idea, wasn't it?", he will whisper over the music in your ear when everyone was dancing wildly to your fire playlist and for a second you're not sure if his question was meant as a threat or a thanks (probably a bit of both)

before you can give a proper answer, the two of you will be pulled to the dancefloor by Shachi and Penguin

Law will not be dancing but awkwardly stand in the middle of all of you, cheering to him and enjoying yourselves, making him feel like the greatest (that he is)

him, the heart.

you're able to release the poor man from the claws of the party hungry crew that was now eager to start a dance battle ("please don't, the infirmary is closed for today")

"trying to steal me away from my own party, huh?" this man sure is getting a little cocky now for someone who has been an absolute grumpy cat the whole evening but well, he is right

he was also grinning now, a rare sight that makes you feel as if you were punched in the guts by the gods of love

there was a sweet present you wanted to give him in private, but this could probably wait an hour or two more, now that the captain was finally loosen up and even willing to join the limbo battle that had just started on the dancefloor (which he will win, this man is bendy)

happy, happy birthday, Law!
