Marco cursed his luck and glared at the marine as he was dragged into a cell, sea stone cuffs hanging around his wrists. The guard smirked viciously and stabbed Marco with his baton. "You are here to guard him not hurt or torture him, marine." The cold voice echoed through the hall and cells and Marco's eyes narrowed.

"Hawk-eyes! What are you doing here?" the marine took a step back from Mihawk, his eyes clouded with fear and Marco rolled his eyes.

Mihawk crossed his arms and glared at the marine, "Sengoku doesn't trust any of you to watch him so he sent me instead as I owe him a small favor." Mihawk sneered slightly at the last word before wiping it off his face and grimaced, he didn't want to be like a certain old bat. The marine fled the hall and Mihawk opened the cell door and stepped in before turning around and checking to see if anyone was watching. Marco glared at the man's back and lunged hoping to surprise the man and get away but to his surprise Mihawk turned around and pinned him to the wall with his wrists above his head. Mihawk leaned close to Marco and nearly sighed, "You are in no condition to do anything Marco and you're lucky that I came along when I did bad things happen in the cells of this island."

Marco glared at the black haired man, what did he know, nothing so why did he say these things like he wanted to protect him, "Let me go."

Mihawk rolled his eyes and pulled a key from his pocket and waved it in front of the blonde man's face, "If I take these chains off I want you to follow on my heels, this place is heavily guarded not just by marines, do you understand." Mihawk could see indecision in Marco's eyes and he sighed before pulling them both to the ground and into the shadows. Marco was shocked when this happened and froze when Mihawk put his face on his neck and felt the phoenix side of him nearly purr.

A guard walked in front of the cell and the two relaxed if only a little, "How far do we have to go?" Mihawk smiled and quickly started to undo the chains.

"Not far just follow on my heels and don't attack anyone, they won't be able to see you." Mihawk didn't know why he felt the need to save Marco nor did he know why he could trust the other man with some of his secrets but he did trust his instincts and that has never led him astray. "Here put this on." Mihawk pulled a long silvery, shimmering cloak from his pocket and Marco stared before raising an eye and looking back at Mihawk. Mihawk rolled his eyes and wrapped it around himself causing the parts covered to disappear and Marco's eyes widened, "Hurry."

Marco nodded and grabbed the cloak throwing it around him and pulling up the hood up around his head, he could trust Mihawk. Marco watched as Mihawk turned to walk away and he lightly pushed on the back of Mihawk's jacket to let the other know that he was still behind him. Marco felt himself smile, he had heard about the hawk like man and how said man didn't trust anyone besides the Yonko Shanks and felt proud that Mihawk trusted him with this cloak. Marco could easily slip away without notice but he didn't want to lose that trust. They reached the courtyard outside and Marco took a step closer, "How much further?"

Mihawk didn't stumble or pause as he walked quickly away from the prison and was relieved when he still felt Marco's hand on his back, "Not long." And that was true because four minutes later the two were at the dock and on Mihawk's boat. Mihawk set the small sails and they started moving further and further from the island and Marco smiled.

Mihawk watched as Marco took off the cloak and silently passed it to him. He felt Marco's eyes on him as he put it back in his pocket and looked back up at the blonde man from where he sat down. Marco kneeled next to him and Mihawk could see the indecision in his eyes before his eyes widened as Marco drew him into a hug. "Thank you Mihawk I owe you a lot for my safety and possibly my life." Marco pulled back and chuckled at the wide eyed look he got from Mihawk before leaning down and kissing him. Marco was vaguely surprised when Mihawk didn't push him away but started to kiss back, so Marco wrapped his arms around Mihawk's neck and smiled into the kiss as Mihawk wrapped his arms around Marco's waist. Marco pulled back and pressed his forehead against Mihawk's. He saw the hesitation in Mihawk's eyes and frowned, "You can trust me Mihawk I won't hurt you."

Mihawk looked into Marco's eyes and smiled, "I know I can trust you Marco and I do, I'm just afraid of what we're going to tell Whitebeard."

Marco stared at him and started laughing, "It doesn't matter what he says because I'll be on your side." Mihawk smiled and nuzzled into Marco's neck, he was happy that he now had someone he could fully trust (Besides Shanks but that's not the point because the man is a child).

Death: Wow that was a really long chapter hmm it's really early over here so I really don't know what to say except that I hope you liked the story!After Mihawk X Aokiji i'll probably accept pairings for anyone i.e shanksXluffy and the likes or should i not? There are only so many Mihawk pairings that i am able to write.

PLEASE REVIEW dont be afraid to suggest stuff

Next: Shanks X Mihawk X Luffy
