It was soft.

That was your first thought, burying yourself further in the feathery feeling beneath you.

"Fufufu, comfortable are we ?"

You were not minding the voice, humming back in response before you began to wonder who it was and the memory flooded into your mind.

'Wasn't I outside ?'

You pulled yourself up with widened eyes. Beside you, was a tall blond man, an eerie smile on his face. You blinked owly, gripping the blanket to balance yourself as the sudden movement shocked your whole body.

"Aw, why the scared face, little one ?"

His voice that broke out was the final draw and you screamed, pushing back and falling off the bed.

The man quietly laughed at your clumsiness, leaning forward to see your figure laid on the back and your legs still dangled on the bed.

"That's a first. People tend to scoff or avoid eye contact when they see me. But I guess a little spook is just as hilarious, especially from a cute thing like yourself" His hand slithered around your leg as he spoke.

You flinched and pulled away, much to his disappointment.

"Who, who are you ?" You choked out, trying to assess your surroundings. You looked like a lost deer in his eyes.

"I'm hurt, truly" He fixed his sunglasses, an object you had never seen before and wondered what its use was. "Must I wear it for you to recognize me ?"

He sounded almost sad. Almost. He stood up and you back away from him with each step.

"Relax, little one. I won't hurt you" His words felt like a half lie.

He took something off his mantle piece and placed it on top of his head.

When you saw the mask, you were close to shaking and running away.

A flamingo helmet.

"I see you do recognize me. What's the scared face ? Didn't I say I would hurt you"

In a blink of an eye, he stood in your eyesight, his back arched to meet you eye to eye.

"You, you are..."

"Hm ? I am ?" He smirked. He enjoyed the way expressions could be so easily changed and morphed into whatever pleased him so. "Doflamingo ? Donquixote ?" His face leaned closer to yours and he felt your short breaths fanning him.
