Everyone stood horrified and flee from the restaurant, leaving only the cook and Viola, and of course, Doflaming himself remaining.

"Don't worry, Sir. I'll give you a free meal today for saving my restaurant." Said the cook to Doflamingo, speaking in a shaking voice.

"Guess I won't reject an offer for today, fufufu." He responded.

Viola stood up from her seat and suggested the free meal to wrapped it up for take out saying that it won't be beneficial for both of them, her and Doflamingo, to stay too long in an island full of pirates roaming around, plus the navy would probably track them down anytime soon because they haven't really been that far away from Dressrosa, which Doflamingo agreed to do so.

Now on their way back to the ship, Doflamingo carrying a bunch of take out foods with one hand, the other in his pocket, was silently following Viola, who's almost half the size of his whole height and body, but similar to all the other people around her walking in different directions, making Doflamingo in trouble of keeping an eye on his navigator, which he did not mind at all as long as he keeps his focus on her.

Viola walked continuously without looking back or even checking up on Doflamingo if he was still obediently walking behind her. And without any hesitation, she turned right going to the opposite way of the dock, where the ship was currently at. Doflamingo who was still spotlighting Viola's every move, he knew this was not the same road they took on their way to the hospital when they got off the ship.

"Violet. Are you su-"

"Shut up! I can see a shortcut from here." Viola interrupted Doflamingo, making him unhappy about her response. He grabbed her by the waist, right arm carrying the packed lunches, the other, handling viola. And in a blink, they were in a dark small street in between huge buildings, he was jumping in every invisible thread he positioned, seeing the whole vilage at night with all lights on. "What do you think you're doing, Doffy!" Viola screamed as they went even higher.

"Fufufu! I'll show you how I figured out a shortcut too!" Doflamingo chuckled, "Now tell me the direction and I'll fly over there. Which will be easier than the one you saw."

Viola find it funny how he could be hilarious at times when he gets competitive and doesn't even have any idea about it. She gladly showed the way by pointing at their back, and let him held her like he would hold a puppy. Although he could still be at risk of his unhealed wound that might open, she knew he was still a monster that was way stronger than she could ever imagine, and that carrying her was his responsibility since her feet felt swollen too from walking back and forth right after they landed on this island.

Finally on the boat, Viola did not need to tell Doflamingo about the job he had just done earlier that morning when preparing to set sail and get off. He naturally put down Viola and went straight to the kitchen to free his hands from anything he has been holding on for quite a while before he did his job: unfurling the sails.

As Doflamingo was busy trying to make the ship stable, Viola was preparing supper. You can see she was cooking, but in her head, she was figuring out how they were gonna be at ease after dinner. The ship was small, but too big for the two of them. However, no matter how huge it is for them, and how spacious the kitchen was even for few visitors, there was only one room. Although there were two beds, Viola couldn't help but think how awkward it was to sleep with a demon at the same room. She felt unconfortable thinking that he was now in himself and not unconscious anymore unlike how they spent their nights alone together two days ago. The bond between them, weren't as strong. A push and pull kind of relationship, both despising what the both of them felt that had made Viola wonder so much,

"There won't be anything left to eat later if that continues to spill," His demonic grin made an entrance in the kitchen, sitting at the center of the table, reaching the newspaper from earlier this morning, and realizing it was what he just read. He threw it back away and put his hand on his chin, looking at Viola how she panicked at cleaning up the mess she had made. Doflamingo's reaction weren't as new to everyone else's, he was grinning for no reason, and even if there's some, you couldn't tell what's behind those chuckle. His other hand, letting his finger knock on every tap he makes on the wooden table as if he was judging a play.

"Ah btw, you got what you wanted.." He continued to break the silence not failing to bring down his sky smile, "Why did you want this?"

"Which?" Viola asked back, knowing what he meant.

"Fufufu. Do not act innocent on me, Violet."

*3 days ago in Dressrosa*

"Run away with me, Doffy."

"What did you say?" Doflamingo was frozen to what he just heard.

"You heard me," Viola said in her every breath.

"Oy, oy. Don't make me laugh. Are you saying nonsense now to get away from your death?"

"Do not make me repeat myself."

"Why, you asked?" Viola said as she turned off the stove and looked at Doflamingo to answer, "Just because I want to."

Doflamingo did not like the answer but also did not know what to response. With his signature pair of glasses on, you could still tell he was not pleased with the words he had heard. Now wearing a frown and crumpled forehead, he wanted it to be more in detail. And as much as he still wanted to hear more about it, he thought it was just ridiculous and not as important, and his smirk drew on his face back in an instant.

Dinner was served and was taken with silence but comfort as usual. Doflamingo went inside their bedrooms, which is only beneath the kitchen. And just as Viola finished cleaning the dishes, she took a warm shower and had a dip in the tub for about half an hour already. She was still not in comfort sleeping in the same room as Doflamingo. She decided to go to bath while Doflamingo was still awake and would just sneak in when he falls asleep, which Viola find it as a good idea. She put shampoo on her hair and massaged her head, and just as she closed her eyes, she suddenly took a peak in the room where Doffy was, not intended, but as soon as she realized what she had just done, she quickly opened her eyes and started breathing heavily as if she just woke up from a nightmare. She couldn't imagine how her mind just went to where he is; naturally. As if he was always on her mind, and that he was all she could ever think of. Surprised about what had happened, she was somehow glad that she get to know the demon has dozed off and thought she'd prepare to get inside the room now.

Now tiptoeing in the room with a towel on her head, she was walking towards the bed, only two to three metres away from his. She kept her eyes on him, afraid to wake him up-

"You forgot to close the door, Violet" Viola's eyes widened when he spoke. No wonder why he wasn't still snoring, he was still up.
