Waking up, you look around your room, a small pout coming to your lips when you find that you were by yourself. You weren't sure who you had cuddled up with, but you figured they had had to go to work at some point in time and would probably be back soon. Huffing lightly, you slide from the bed, making your way into the living room. It was dark, meaning it was probably the middle of the night still. A loud grumble makes you look down, patting your stomach. "I hungwy." You mumble, going to the kitchen. Nothing there interested you. Frowning you think for a few seconds before smiling brightly and wandering out of your home through the maze of hallways to a semi familiar office.

Looking up at the bookshelves in front of you, you grin, pulling yourself up carefully and trying not to fall. Coming to the shelf you were after, you giggle, reaching for the jeweled cookie jar and pulling it into your lap. You only manage to get the lid off of it before you lifted into the air, a small whine leaving your lips as you reach for one of the cookies on top.

"Fufufu, I found a little cookie thief." Doflamingo chuckles, letting you grab a cookie from the jar and turning you to him. You take a bite of the cookie, smiling at him.

"I da best thief." You giggle, hugging the cookie to your chest.

"You're the cutest thief." He chuckles, setting you on the desk before picking up the jar. "Are you up so late because you're hungry?"

"Mhmm. Had da munchies." You hum looking at some of the things on the desk curiously. "Why you up so late?"

"I'm going to Atlantis and came to get a few things." He smiles a bit, opening the drawer on his desk and pulling out a unique looking shell. Your eyes widen, sparkling a bit.

"Is weal? Atlantis weal?" You ask, leaning toward to look at the glittering shell curiously.

"Yes, but be quiet, this stays between us if I take you alright?" He puts a finger over his lips. You nod excitedly, holding you finger to mimic his.

"I keep secwet. I wan go! I go wif you? Pwetty pwease!"

"You're absolutely precious, of course you can." Doflamingo scoops you up in one arm before blowing into the shell, making a large bubble form. Within looked like it was under the sea, fish drifting by. "Here we go." He hums going into it with you.

"Yaaaay!" You smile brightly, looking around as he steps through the bubble. Both of you were now surrounded by colorful fish, some curious and swimming towards you before swimming away. "Da fishies pwetty!" You exclaim.

"They sure are." He rumbles turning so you both faced the lost city. He walks forward effortlessly. "I'm back." He calls and then creatures of all colors come out of the palace.

"Oh wow..." You say in complete awe, amazed by the remains of the city. Tilting your head at the creatures you wave a bit. "Hewwo. I ______!"

"___..." Voices echo and human faces peer out from behind the columns. Doflamingo smiles, watching you in amusement. You squeak in excitement.

"Awe does mewmaids!?" You ask, flailing about before turning to Doflamingo with a bright smile. "Dey weal too?"

"Fufufu, come on, don't be shy." He beckons them to swim closer, fins and scales of different colors glistening over their lower half, peering at you curiously.

"I never knew demons could be babies. How cute." One smiles.

"Hello ___." Another hums. You giggle happily, a small blush on your cheeks.

"Hewwo! You all so pwetty!" You tell them smiling sweetly at them. "Is all so pwetty!" They gush and nuzzle you affectionately.

"So cute!"

"Are you hungry?"

"Do you want a ride?"

"Foods! And a wide! I would love to!" You giggle happily, looking up at Doflamingo with wide eyes. "I go?"

"Yeah, I'm going with you." He rumbles before carrying you into the palace where seafood of all kinds were displayed on a large table.

"Welcome back!" They greet Doflamingo, kissing his cheeks.

"Fufufu, they seem to like you more than me." Doflamingo jokes, "I just now became visible it seems." You giggle, eyes glittering at all the food.

"Is jus cause I small." You tell him, leaning against him with a bright smile.

"Well, I'm sure they adore you when you're big too." He takes you to the table, setting you down on a chair.

"What do you want to eat ___?" A mermaid asks you.

"Umm you has cwab? I nevew has it befowe." You tell the mermaid a little bashfully.

"Of course sweetie!" She gushes, retrieving large crab legs for you.

"Here, I'll open them for you." Doflamingo chuckles, cracking open the shells. You clap happily, starting to pull at a few pieces so you could eat them.

"Dis nice. Tank you fow bwinging me." You hum, a large smile on your face.

"No problem, this place is too beautiful not to share with someone." He chuckles lightly, eating some himself.

"Why you come hewe fow?" You question, looking up at him curiously.

"Just to relax mainly, and sleeping on the giant jellyfish is nice." He points out of the window at one in the distance.

"Oooooh." You say, staring at the jellyfish with wide eyes. "It no huwt you?"

"As long as you watch the tentacles~" He rumbles, tickling you playfully. You giggle, swatting at his hands.

"Noooo! Noooo tickle!" He chuckles lightly, pulling his hands back.

"So adorable." He pokes your nose. You cover your nose with a laugh.

"We go fow wide now? I wanna see all da place!"

"Yes, but there is something you must tell me..." He leans toward you, seemingly becoming serious. You blink, looking at him curiously.

"Wha'? Wha' I have to tell you?"

"What do you want to ride on?" He smiles. Your eyes widen.

"Oooh. I no know...wha' can I wide on?"

"Sharks, dolphins, manta rays.." He starts to list off.

"I wanna wide a shawk!" You say excitedly, flailing around again. "We go! I wan go!" He laughs before scooping you up, practically being swept out by the excited mermaids.

"I'll have a shark too then." He decides and the mermaids soon bring over two large sharks, both with saddles on them. "Alright, this should be fun." He hums, putting you in the smaller saddle. "Can you handle this?" He asks.

"Yeah!" You nod, leaning down to pat the shark on the head. "Hewwo shawk! I _____!" It moves slightly in response.

"Alright..." Doflamingo gets in his saddle before nodding to the mermaids lead the sharks throughout Atlantis.

"Dis is da best!" You hum, looking around the city with sparkling eyes. "I nevew thought all dis was weal!"

"Fufufu well, you do now, and you can come here whenever you want as long as it remains our secret." He rumbles.

"Weally?" You smile brightly. "You come here wit me wight? So we both has fun togethew!"

"Fufufu! Yes! It's funner together." He grins, poking your cheek.

"Yaaaay!" You smile, before a small yawn escapes your lips.

"Oh, looks like it's time to go back to bed." He hums thoughtfully.

"But I havin' fuuuun." You pout, trying to cover another yawn behind your hand so he wouldn't make you leave.

"Fufufu, would you like to sleep on a jellyfish?" He inquires lightly.

"Yeah!" You nod, a happy smile on your face. "I gotta be back though...dey wowwy if I be gone..." You say

"I'll take you back once you fall asleep, so this will feel like a dream." He scoops you up, turning his shark to the jellyfish before getting off and moving onto the top of the jellyfish with you.

"Otay." You hum, giving him a soft smile before curling up with him. "Nigh nigh Doffy."

"Goodnight little demon. Sweet dreams." He relaxes with a smile, sunglasses reflecting the waters above.
