The light of the stars | Law x Reader

Golden eyes

Staring at the waves crashing against the shore, every day felt the same, for three months, your 'new' life felt so agonizingly repetitive, you couldn't handle it anymore. The only good time you had at the palace, was when you talked to Violet, but she would often have other things to attend to. The two maids that worked there never spoke a word, and the few times you had seen Trebol, he just disgusted you.

Then you thought about Doflamingo, and that moment of the night before. It felt comforting, just looking at the sky, next to someone who cared about you. The loneliness went away for that night.

You felt happy, and just watched the sea, not even trying to think of your past. Maybe more happy moments were to come.

~~~

It was midday, and you and Violet were about to eat for lunch, when an unexpected guest came in.

"Doflamingo, I thought you were supposed to be at -"

"Don't worry Viola, I can leave those matters aside, at least for a while. It has been rude of me to not spend some time with our wonderful guest"

You felt flattered, since the day before, Doflamingo seemed nicer. Despite this, his sinister smile was still there.

"Oh, thank you Doffy"

"It's a pleasure"  His characteristic grin was plastered on his face.

"So, Viola, I have heard that our little friend here wanted to watch the stars at night . . ."

Little friend?? You were small compared to him, but that was a bit rude.

"Oh, master, Y/N has been exhausted from boredom, and she just wanted to do something outside of the castle walls, of course, with my watchful eye on her"

"Well, you won't have to worry for tonight, I will be the one watching her"

"Wait"  You said  "Violet is not coming with us?"

"It won't be necessary"  Silence filled the room. You couldn't protest against his word. Violet gazed at you with a slightly concerned expression, and then looked at Doflamingo.

"I understand"  She stood up, having finished eating, and before she left the room to do her chores, she said smiling at you.  "I hope you have a pleasant time"

When she left, silence filled the room again. You were staring deeply at the plate, and when you awkwardly looked up and made eye contact with Doflamingo, you saw he was staring deeply at your soul. What did you have that amused him so much?

He had his head, slightly tilted, resting on his hand, his big smile radiant, looking at you.

"You haven't eaten much, you ok?"  You said.  "It's very tasty, you should try it"

Doflamingo completely ignored your comments about the food and changed the subject to one of his interest.

"Why are you so drawn to those stars?"  He asked.

"I don't know, it just reminds me of something, but it's not like when I look at the waves of the sea and try to think of the time before getting here, it's a different feeling"

"I see"  He was no longer smiling, but didn't seem pissed, he was just thinking.

"What are you thinking about?"  You asked, just like him the day before.
