(Y/n)'s P.O.V

"...." Doffy looked blankly at the door on the ground then at the yonko. "Red haired Shanks. What are you doing here at Dressrosa? More specifically, what are you doing in my bedroom?"

"(Y/n)..." Shanks glared darkly at the yonko. I can feel The shichibukai looking at me from the corner of his eye.

"Shanks... Y-you misunderstood what's going o-on..." I broke the silence, trying to calm both of them down. Doffy's vains are visible now...

"... You took my (y/n)...." Shanks mumbled. His?! What is he talking about?! My thoughts got interrupted by yellings outside and battle cries. Oh shit! Did Shanks brings the crew with him to the castle?!

"Fufufu~ I clearly don't see your name on her Yonko." Doflamingo mocked he got up and started walking towards him. "Why don't we make a deal? The winner will have the pleasure of owning (y/n)."

"Hey! I'm not an object!!"

"Deal." Shanks immediately replied and grabbed his sword. Are they seriously going to fight each other?! Shit! I must do something!!

The redhead pulled his sword out while Doflamingo activated his devil fruit. Ahh! (Y/n)!! Think!! What should you do to stop the fight?!

....

....

....

....

....

I got it!!

"... Shanks?..." I whispered his name. The yonko didn't look at me but I'm pretty sure he heard me. "... D-do you hate me?" I mumbled and fake sob. At the corner of my eye, I saw Doffy looking at me with an amusement.

Shanks froze in his place and dropped his sword. "...me... Hating you...?" He whispered. In an instant, I found myself in his arm. "What made you think about this?! I would never hate you!" He snapped at me.

"Yes! You hate me! You don't want me to have new friends and now you're snapping at me!" I 'sobbed' and tried punching him away. "(Y/n) my dearest. I'm so so sorry. I'm angry at myself for being a heartless monster and making you think that I hate you."

Ouch, after hearing him saying this I felt a little guilty... Meanwhile, Doffy was looking at the scene in awe. 'Fufufufu~ she has a yonko wrapping around her finger.'

"So you don't hate me?" I asked looking at his soft grey eyes. Shanks chuckled and kissed my head lovely.

"I would never hate you. My little ball of sunshine." He patted my head. I couldn't help but blush a bit. Shanks smiled lovely and kissed both my red cheeks making me blush harder. "My treasure."

This is the second time he said that word... Shanks...

My eyes watered. Quickly, I wiped my tears before Shanks and Doffy see them.  "She's your treasure huh? You become a softie Shanks." Doflamingo laughed and I couldn't help but freak out a bit. I know that laugh damn well...

He's still angry...

But why...?

"Well..." Shanks took a deep breath and gave Doffy a fake smile. "Since you're now (y/n)'s friend... I won't kill you."

"Fufufufu~ I'm relieved."

"But if you try anything funny with her... Oh, all hell will broke loose." Shanks mumbled so only Doffy could hear him after that, he took his den den mushi and called Benn telling him that I'm fine and to stop attacking the donquixote family.

"So... No more fighting?" I asked and they two nodded. "And well, then-" I wasn't able to finish cause Almost all the red hair pirates and the donquixote family barged inside Doffy's bedroom and started asking me millions of questions. Outside, I can hear some of Shanks men sobbing and crying.

Despite all of this. I felt happy. I felt like home, surrounded by people who care and love you...

It's a beautiful feeling...

"I want everyone out of my room..." Doflamingo snapped. He controlled some of Shanks's men and punched them out of his room. "Now..."

****

"Hm~ the food is so delicious Doffy!" Shanks moened and took a large bite from the meal Doflamingo's chef prepared.

"I hope you like it Yonko." The flamingo man said with Venom and stabbed his knife in his meat.

"Do you enjoy the dinner (y/n)? Is it to your liking?" Doflamingo asked me. After calming everyone down. I asked... Or like made Shanks and his crew fix the damage they caused... And that means fix almost all the Castle. Hell! It was only a few minutes fight and they destroyed the palace!!

When the night came, the castle became brand new. I honestly don't understand Anime Logic but thankfully, we managed to fix everything in a time record.

Doflamingo suggested that I should stay here tonight have dinner with his family. And trying to not be an 'asshole' in front of me he asked the red hair pirates to stay ass well...

And to my surprise, The two crews got along quite well. I was sitting between Shanks and Deelinger and Doflamingo was in front of me and beside him was Yassopp.

"Wah! (Y/n) Chan! Why don't you join our family?" Dellinger sobbed. "I'll give you all my heels just stay here!" He glared at Shanks who glared back and continued begging me to stay.

"Dellinger..." I stopped eating and looked at him. "If someone asked you to leave your family behind. Would you do that?" Everyone stopped eating and waited for Dellinger's response.

"Of course not! I won't dare leavey family!" He gasped.

"Exactly. I won't either. I have a crew waiting for me. I have a family. Just like yours. And I won't abandon them easily."

....

"(Y/n) Chan! We won't abandon you either!!" Shanks and his men began sobbing like crybabies. Expect Benn. He smiled warmly at me and continued his dinner. Meanwhile, the Donquixote family were looking at me in awe.

I ignored everyone and focused my attention on my plate. Idiots. I wasn't talking about the red hair crew. I was talking about the straw hat crew.

After having a lovely dinner with the two crews, we decided to call it a night and sleep early due to bow exhausted everyone is. Sugar took me to my bedroom, witch was next to Doflamingo's. He's trying to provoke Shanks huh?

Well, let's see what will happen in the morning. Hopefully, they won't tear each other apart.

I took a lovely shower and head to the closet. The room is very big and elegant. I wonder who was staying here.

To my surprise I found many beautiful clothes and to my size inside the closet!

Anime logic...

I decided to wear something buggy since It's hot tonight.

I went to the bed and when I just put my head on the pillow, I fell into a dreamless sleep.

****

Waking up at the middle of the night is not my thing. I don't know what's wrong with me but it feels like someone was waking me up minutes ago...

I got up and decided to have a walk. The hallway was dark but I can see some lights coming from Doffy's room. Why is he up in the middle of the night?

... Damn, his nightmares, I forger about them.

I can't help but feel sad. He killed many innocent lives and many suffered because of him but he's still a human who has feelings... He suffered a lot when he was a child and no one helped him...

"Help him..."  The mysterious voice I heard the night When I came to this world said in my head. I covered my mouth and looked around. "Help him..." The voice said again.

Is this why I'm here? To help Doflamingo?

I slowly walked to the bedroom and carefully knocked on the door. In an instant, the door flew open and an angry Doflamingo holding a bottle of wine glared down at me.

'(y/n) relax. You can do it.'

"What do you want." Doffy demanded. "I couldn't sleep so I decided to have a walk around, but I saw that you're already awake. Couldn't sleep?" I smiled warmly at him. He relaxed a bit and nodded his head.

"Can I come in?"

"...." Doflamingo walked back to his bed and sat down. I took that as a yes and followed him closing the door behind me. The man was looking at my every move with a tired face. He was sweating and breathing heavily.

"Doffy." I sat next to him and patted his back. "You don't have to tell me anything. Because I understand how you feel." I whispered looking at him.

"You don't understand!" He snapped and punched me away from him glaring. "Why are you even here?!" His face became red from anger. "You're here to mock me..."

"I'm not." I smiled softly at his angered face. We continued looking at each other until he sighed and looked away. "You don't understand what I feel, because I don't even Understand." He said, drinking more of his wine.

"I can understand that you feel... empty. Despite having your family and such. That happens, you can be the luckiest and the strongest and still be unhappy because you feel like you're lacking something important. Feelings can really suck." I laughed a bit and he chuckled.

After a long silence Doflamingo put his head on his hands and removed his sunglasses. I couldn't see them because he was looking down. "... I missed her." He whispered. My eyes widened in shock when he continued. "I missed my mother. That's what I'm lacking." H said.

I couldn't help but pity the man in front of me. Despite being the famous King of Dressrosa. He's now a fragile human who wants someone to love him. He lacks acceptance, he lacks True love. A pure one. He lacks someone who accept his for who he is. And that person was his mother.

"Sometimes..." He continued. "Sometimes I can't help but think what my life will be if my mom is still alive. If we didn't live our home..."

"Then the Donquixote family won't exist." I quickly replied. "You won't be the king of Dressrosa and you won't have your lovely family." I rubbed his shoulder.

"Doffy, life is unfair. You won't always get what you want. Accept this." I sighed. "We humans are disgusting creatures . We use each other to get something. to kill, to murder, to get money, to get fame, to be superior and above everyone." Doflamingo was taken back by what I said. He nodded his head in understanding.

"But if you look around you. You'll understand that all of this doesn't matter. All the fame and money doesn't matter Because you won't bring any of them with you when you die."

Doflamingo nodded his head. He put his large hand in mine and pulled me closer. We sat in silence for a few minutes enjoying each other company.

"... I'll tell you my darkest secret. You deserve to know." He said. I hold his hand tightly. "... I'm a celestial Dragon." He said and watched my reaction. To his surprise I didn't move a muscle and continued rubbing his hand.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" He whispered in disbelief. "Why should I be afraid from my friend?" I smiled at him. "My older brother was a noble like you and I loved him a lot."

"Your older brother was a noble?" He looked surprised when I said that.

"Yeah... He died when he was 10." I said. Despite not meeting Sabo personally. I can't help but feel sad remembering how he died. Suddenly, I felt something warm around my waist and found myself pressed against Doffy's chest.

Donquixote Doflamingo was hugging me.

"My... Father decided that we should leave the world nobels behind and have a normal life like the common people. He thought that everything will be fine... Because of him I lost my place as a Celestial Dragon. Because of him I watched my mother die from sickness. Because of him I almost got killed by those disgusting Commoners." By the time he finished he was shaking from anger and sadness. "Continue." I rubbed his back trying to calm him down.

"My mother was the sweetest woman ever. She was my best friend. My everything. It's because of him I lost her. And I killed him for that." He laughed. This time, he was trying to hide his pain. To stop himself from breaking down. "Sometimes... I think I should end my life so I can be with her..."

I froze when he said that and without thinking, I broke the hug and slapped him hard in the cheek. He was taken back. Doflamingo rubbed his cheek and glared at me.

No one slapped him before...

"Seriously?! You don't want to live?!" I got up and stood in front of him. "You shouldn't be alive?! That's nonsense!" I yelled. His eyes widened.

No one yelled at him...

"Why do you disregard so easily the life your mother protected? She died for you. She gave her life so you could live yours. I understand that the first thing you though of was avenging her by killing your father. But if you really want to honor her death, if you really want to thank her for her sacrifice... Then live your life. Look for something good to live for. Your mother gave you the chance to continue living and any mother who loves her children will sacrifice everything for her kids without thinking. It's an instinct. I doubt she would be happy with you wanting to lose the life she gave you. Live Doffy. Live and be happy. Don't waste the chance a loving mother gave to you."

Doflamingo stared at me, his expression blank but awe clear in his widened blue eyes...

He had never seen it that way. How could he have been so blind? He had been living in his own pain that it was impossible for him to actually be happy.

His mother wanted him to be happy...

She gave her life so he can live his...

....

....

....

"(Y/n)..." Doflamingo said. "What should I do? I'm having nightmares from the day my mother died and I want them to stop... I want to be happy for her. To honor her..." his voice was soft. He was in pain.

I smiled and patted his head. Playing with his short hair. "Forgive."

"Forgive?" Doflamingo was confused. "What do you mean?"

"You must move on and forgive. Forgive those villagers that tried to kill you. They lost people they love because of the world nobels and when they had the chance to get revenge on them, they forgot all their morals and destroyed the life of an innocent child. You'll do the same if you were in their position... Forgive your father for being a selfish man and wanting the best for his child. He wanted you to be happy. He didn't want to see you growing up and becoming a cruel person. A father always wants the best for his child right? Your father loves you a lot Doffy... It's time to forgive them to move on."

The girl in front of him... This stranger that he only met hours ago, is right...

He'll do the same thing the people did for him if one of his family got hurt...

His father... The person who only smiled at him when Doflamingo decided to end his life was just trying to save him from being one of those disgusting nobels...

Doflamingo couldn't hold back anymore...

He cried. He sobbed and cried. Cried for the loose of his mother, cried for killing his father, cried for shooting his little brother, cried for their deaths, cried for his selfishness, cried for being a blind person.

He holds his tears for 31 years. And now he let all his sorrows out.

And oh it feels great...

"Forgive." I wiped my tears. Seeing Doffy breaking down like this will make anyone with a heart cry. I understand now why I'm in this world.

To help people in need... To help him.

"It's time to move on."at my words, Doffy feel to his knees and hugged me tightly. "Say it." I whispered. "Say it... "

"I-I forgive the people who tried to kill me... I-I forgive my father for causing my mother's death... I-I forgive R-Rosinante for betraying me... I forgive everyone!" He yelled crying.

"Don't hold back. Let it all out." I hugged him back. He pulled me to his lap and continued sobbing. I couldn't hold back my tears. He was suffering from all this pain for years and no one was there to support him. To give him a warm hug and shoulder to cry on. To say that everything is fine. To help him forget his past.

Now I understand why Donquixote Doflamingo became a bloodthirsty killer...

He was lonely...

No one by his side...

He gave up on living...

He just wants someone to care about him. He wants love, affection, support

He wants Happiness...

We sat on the floor in each other embrace. Doflamingo calmed down a bit. He buried his face in my hair when he stopped crying.

"Thank you." He ruffed my hair and kissed both my cheeks. I giggled and ruffed his hair as well.

"Now I understand why the yonko adores you. You're a caring person and you have a gentle soul... Just like my mother." He chuckled.

"Now Doffy." I looked at the bed. "Try to get some sleep. You need it." He nodded his head and we got up from the floor.

"I should return back to my room. Goodnight Doffy." Doflamingo was disappointed when I said that I'm not sleeping with him and that was clearly on his facial expression.

"You'll be fine Doffy, you won't have nightmares tonight I'm sure and beside, My room is next yours. I'll check on you okay?" I said.

"Okay. Goodnight." I waved and closed his door behind him and headed back to my room.

"I did the right thing. I helped a person in need." I smiled. Proud of what I did. "Nice dreams Doffy."

....

Doflamingo was laying on his back. He felt relieved and Happy. For the first time in ages, he'll sleep without fear. "Huh..." He chuckled and yawned. "No more nightmares." He said in determination and closed his eyes.

" dear." The boy wiped his tears and looked at his mother. Her smile put him at ease. "They're just nightmares my sweet Doffy. You're strong." She encouraged him.

"Mama." The child smiled and hugged her. "I'll try to find a way so we can get out of this island without being noticed. I swear." He mumbled and fell back asleep.

"Doffy." The woman hugged her child and kissed his cheek. "Live Doffy, Live and be happy."
