XLIII

Doflamingo had told me to get ready while he somewhat handled the strawhat situation. I was a little nervous about who I was meeting. He didn't specify anything, only told me to get all pretty and wait for him. So that's what I was doing; waiting. Marla had gone to get some info from Doflamingo's room while he was gone for me, so I was just sitting alone, kicking my feet like I was some child, while muttering how bored I was over and over again.

But that soon went away when Marla burst through my room doors and shut it, before coming over to me with some papers.

"Miss Nior. I found these, I think you should take a look. But for now, Doflamingo is coming so I'm going to hide them." Marla spoke quickly while hiding the said papers under my bed and out of view.

And just like she said, Doflamingo walked in. "Nior-- oh, please leave." He suddenly spoke to Marla who was surprisingly already up and off the floor. She nodded and left, just as he told her to, then he looked at me.

"Gorgeous. I say this is the perfect time to go meet those people I was talking about earlier, yes?" He walked to me and held his hand out for me.

I took it and stood up with a nod. "Yeah, but who are they?" I asked, he simply ignored it with a grin while leading me out of my room.

I walked with him, nervously, but I tried to calm my anxiety down by taking deep breaths. Finally, we got to a door. I heard people talking on the other side of it, I looked at Doflamingo.

"Stay here until I tell you to come in." He whispered softly, bringing my hand up to his lips for a soft kiss.

I nodded after this act, he nodded back before entering the room. I tried to peak in but he quickly closed the door as soon as he stepped in. I waited outside, anxious as fuck now.

Doflamingo's pov

I was happy I had gotten ahold of them before it was too late. I wanted to do this for Nior, even though I feel like deep down she doesn't want to be with me. I don't know why I want her so bad, but she just makes me so happy. Hopefully this will make her loosen up around me.

"Doflamingo, where is she?" The woman asked, I put my hands in my pockets and grinned widely.

"Right here. But you have to stay where you are unless she comes to you, do I make myself clear? No sudden movements towards her or I'll kill you. Nior!" I called out, opening the door for her when they all stood up.

She walked in, I could tell she was nervous. She couldn't see anything, but when her eyes adjusted to the lighting and she actually saw everything around her, she gasped.

"Nior, oh you look just like your father." Mrs. Cat spoke up, Nior backed away, my heart dropped when she started shaking.

"Hey, it's alright big sis--" her little brother tried to step forward but Mrs. Cat stopped him when I glared at him.

"Are you okay?" Her sister asked from where she stood.

"D-Doflamingo, what is this.. What's going on." She asked in a shaky voice, I started feeling horrible.

"Your family."

Niors pov

"Your family." Was all Doflamingo said while I stared at my brother, sisters, but specifically my mother.

"Come to your family, Nior." My mother spoke softly as if she didn't do a damn thing.

I was terrified, I hid behind Doflamingo with tears in my eyes. I said I wanted to meet them again, yes, but I wanted to be ready for it; mentally. I hated how he took me here, I understand what he really wanted to do for me, but I wasn't ready.

"Why won't she come, mama?"

"What's up with her?"

"She's being so disrespectful."

Everyone immediately went quiet when my mother said that, and I couldn't help but turn away so I wouldn't cry.

"You don't know me at all.. I wanted to see you guys-- to see you, mother. But it's clear you still are the same heartless bitch I've always known." I sighed out with a dry fake laugh, everyone but her gasped.

"Heartless? You're the one who left our family at our worst!" She yelled, I turned back around to face her.

"I did? You left my father to die. All alone. So I left to go see him off, I left so I could be there for him, I left so I didn't have to be left with guilt of an innocent man being killed by my own mother so she could cover up her own tracks. You were the one who started it all, you shot him because of what you wanted and blamed it on my older brother. You, are the one who put our family in their worst and tried to make me, my brother, and father the bad guys. Don't you ever blame me."

It was quiet, the room was tense and I wanted to leave; so that's what I did. "Doffy. We're leaving." I spoke dryly while turning around and walking out the door.

I ignored the yelling of my mother to come back to her while walking towards my room with my head down. Once I got inside, I didn't bother closing the door. Instead, I slid down onto the floor in front of my bed, threw my heels off, before resting my head on my knees.

I heard my bedroom door close but I didn't bother looking up at Doflamingo. I felt his presence next to me, and I knew it was him when his prickly leg ghosted against my arm before he actually sat next to me.

"I'm sorry." He finally said after a minute of silence. I turned my head in his direction and saw him without his glasses on while staring at me. I sighed before lifting my head and running my hand through my hair. I took another deep breath before turning to him and bringing him into a tight hug.

"I.. just need time." I whispered slowly, I felt him nod before his arms wrapped around my own body, making me fall onto his lap on my side but I didn't stop hugging him.

"Take as much time as you need. I'll let everyone know I'm yours for the day." He whispered back softly, I took a deep breath and nodded before letting him go.

My head was fuzzy. I didn't know what to think anymore or what to do. My family still acts the same way they always have. I thought they changed but clearly people don't change unless they have a reason to, so there goes all my hope. My thoughts immediately went away when I felt Doflamingo's finger lift my chin so my eyes would meet his.

"I'm sorry for what happened to you. And I'm sorry that I took you there, I--" I shut him up when I leaned in closely into a soft kiss.

"It's alright. 'Sorry' doesn't fit you, Doffy." I chuckled softly, his eyes widened just slightly but now I knew he wanted more.

He leaned down for another kiss, holding one of my hands while my other was on his cheek. His other hand was behind my neck, pulling me closer into the kiss. It was sweet, surprisingly, but I don't think it'll ever be better than Kid's kisses. We pulled away after a small second, I felt my face heating up and I quickly turned away when he smirked.

I got up and off him when he said he was going to call "someone" to tell them he was going to be "busy". While he was doing that, I sat on my bed while running my fingers on my soft lips, which he gave me. I didn't even know he could have such soft lips.

I didn't hear him end the call on the den-den mushi. I just kept thinking back on how he kissed me, with so much love and passion; I kinda felt bad for faking my love for him. That soon disappeared when I felt him pull me onto my feet and into his chest. His grin didn't waver when he saw my surprised expression.

"I'm all yours today. We could go out, stay in and sleep, kiss all day, whatever you'd like." He mumbled quietly, I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck before pulling him into a slow kiss.

He, obviously, kissed back and was taken back when I swiped my tongue into his mouth. We continued kissing like this until we heard a knock on the door. Taking our breaths, he broke away and reached for his glasses before moving to the door and opening it.
