A brother's wish

"Y/N"

You heard a familiar voice call your name. Even with your eyes closed, you could feel his warm presence.

"Little star" The man called you with such a sweet and soft voice, you could feel your chest slightly hot, your heart shining faintly.

You felt a hand caressing your cheek, calling your name again, his voice saddened, imploring you to wake up.

You opened your eyes slowly, and saw the captain of the Heart pirates holding you, hoping you'd wake up. "Law . . ." Your heart glowed even brighter. You stared into his golden eyes, mesmerized by their intensity.

"I-" It seemed like he wanted to say something to you, but he couldn't find the words to express himself. You were staring at Law in his most vulnerable state, where all his barriers were down, and he showed his true self.

Your fear of loneliness was deeply engraved within you. You were still hurt upon the fact he didn't care about you, that he was just using you. Yet seeing him here, in such way . . . There was something in him that melted your heart. Beneath all that anger and coldness, there was a kindhearted man, and you had seen that part of him shine through, over and over again.

"Y/N" He called your name again as he pulled you into a hug. He was relieved to see you. "I thought I had lost you forever" His melancholic voice softly left his lips. You felt the warmth of his embrace, cherishing that moment. You had never felt more at peace. For a second, all your worries vanished from your mind.

"I thought you didn't care" You replied, however, there was no resentment in your words. You wrapped your arms around him, hugging him back. Your heart shone bright as you were hugging.

"I thought that too . . ." He was disappointed in himself. He pushed back a little to look at your face again, as if he couldn't believe he had you just in front of him. He sighed, realizing the truth of the situation. "This ain't real, is it?" His voice sounded tired. "You are with Doflamingo . . ."

You looked at him, your eyes widening as you realized. "This is a dream . . ." You rested your head on his chest, to Law's surprise. "Of course. How could I think you could possibly care about me?" You chuckled. "Why would you care about me?" Your little laugh turned to sobbing.

"Y/N . . ." He said, moved by your sorrow. However, before he could say anything else, he disappeared, leaving you alone in the middle of nowhere. There was a voice desperately calling for you from very far away, almost impossible to hear.

As you opened your eyes again, the voice was replaced by the sounds of fire. You were in a small town in the middle of the night, the only light visible were the lanterns outside the houses. You turned around, still hearing the hellish sounds of fire. One of the town houses was on fire.

You were shocked, and ran towards it, hearing the faint screams of people inside the burning building. You tried to get in, but the fire made it impossible. You tried to use your power, but you couldn't. There was something about this whole situation that was familiar to you. The sight of the burning house, this town at midnight . . .

"Where is she!?" You heard a man yell.

"She must be close by" Another man replied.

"We must find her. The world government will pay a fortune for her" A third man added.

From the darkness of the night, a group of men appeared, surrounding you. Was it you who they were looking for? They got closer and closer, cornering you against the flaming house. You had nowhere to run as the men were next to you.
