A/N : Hello once again my lovelies !!! This is a tasty lil treat for my love @kaizokuniichan who asked me to write up something for our lover, Rosinante. I think this is the LONGEST piece I've ever written, I just had so much fun, I couldn't stop writing!!! I hope you enjoy babe, he loves you so much! He's gunna smooch you so hard! ��🥰🤭🤭

Doflamingo had taken you in after you saved Baby 5's young life, putting yourself in harms way to save the child and coming out from the fight nearly unscathed. The small girl had clung to you like a lifeline and refused to let go when you went to hand her off. Doflamingo had laughed, the sound echoing in your ears, but it didn't frighten you, only able to give him a bright smile when he offered you a place on his ship.

When Corazon suddenly showed up, you swore the tension could have been sliced with a butterknife, watching the two brothers stare each other down until Doflamingo relented, pulling his younger brother into a tight hug while exclaiming, "My brother has returned!" There was a celebration that night, the Donquixote Pirates always finding some reason to drink and party.

You listened absent-mindedly as Diamante insulted the brother, your eyes taking the slightly shorter Donquixote, curious of the man. Your cheeks burned when his eyes met yours, smoke from his cigarette floating up and slightly obscuring his view, which gave you the chance to walk away, heading down to the kitchen to make up a snack.

You had just finished your snack when footsteps alerted you; your eyes flicking up from the book in front of you to the younger brother standing at the door, a slightly apprehensive look on his face as he took you in. You gave a small smile and a wave, which he returned after a moment, which caused you to chuckle softly.

"I'm Y/N, it's nice to meet you."

He walked over and sat scross from you pulling out a notebook and scribbling something down, sliding the notebook to you with a small grin. You were gentle with the book, fingers brushing over the page as you read the words.

You can call me Corazon, the pleasure is mine.

Your cheeks tinted pink as you slid the notebook back, unable to keep the small smile off your face as you began to sign, the movements a little clunky from disuse.

/Do you sign? It might be easier to communicate./

His eyes lit up like a light and a wide grin replaced the small one, giving you two thumbs up before responding in a flurry of signs.

/I do! I've only met one other person who could sign, this is definitely easier-/

You cut him off with a laugh, the sound causing him to falter as a light blush covered his own cheeks.

"You're going too fast, Cora-san, I can't keep up like that."

He repeated his movements but much slower this time, your head nodding slightly before you replied,

/Much better, that's much easier to follow. Thank you!/

His grin returned and you knew then that you could enjoy his company anytime.

~ A few months later ~

Walking through the newest town you'd stopped at, Baby 5 at your heels as she chattered about how excited she was to find a new dress. You smiled down at the girl and turned to your bodyguard for the day, laughing at the sour look on Corazons face.

"You know, we would have been just fine. You didn't have to come with us, Cora-san."

He sighed through his nose and signed,

/Doflamingo said I had to. Apparently you're important to him./

Your cheeks burned at the thought of your Captain calling you important, though you quickly frowned and gave Corazons arm a slap. He flinched at the feeling, giving you a matching frown and blowing smoke down at you.

"Not me, her. She's important, I'm expendable."

His face changed at your words, quickly signing out something but you turned from him, not caring what he had to say at that moment.

"I don't have a devil fruit, I'm not nobility, I'm nothing special. Doflamingo can find a child caretaker anywhere, I'm just..."

You gave a shrug, arms crossing over your chest as you keep your eyes peeled for the store you and Baby 5 looked at the day prior.

"I'm just convenient."

There was silence between the three of you until the store came into view, the small girl giving an excited shriek as she ran towards it. You shouted after her, running and catching up to her easily, snatching her up in your arms with a loud laugh that matched her own.

Corazon watched the sight with a heavy heart, knowing the Donquixote Pirates was no place for your kindness and love. Watching you care for Baby 5 hurt him, knowing his job was to keep kids from joining this ruined crew and his failure hung over him like a storm cloud. His hands jammed into his pants pockets as he strolled towards the store, following you both in and standing off to the side.

He shrugged off the whispers from surrounding people, his eyes trained on you and you only, watching as you held Baby 5 on your hip while you scoured the racks for good deals. He couldn't help but smile softly, his eyes soft and warm as yours met his. Your cheeks tinted pink, snapping your head back to the rack as the small girl pulled a cute dress from the rack.

"Great choice," he heard you respond, your voice light and happy.

Corazon's eyes moved from you two to outside, simply people watching and keeping his alert high just in case. He jumped when a heavy hand met his shoulder, ready to grab his pistol when his brother suddenly leaned into his vision, a low sigh leaving him as he shook his head. Doflamingo cackled, giving his brother a slight shake.

"Ah brother, don't be so bitter! It's not my fault you're not paying attention."

Corazon glared for a moment before clapping a hand on Doflamingos' own shoulder, giving it a slight squeeze before turning your attention back to you. Doflamingo gave a low chuckle, his attention also on you as you laughed at whatever Baby 5 had said.

"She's something else, isn't she."

Corazon was shocked at the words from his brother, eyebrows shooting up as he turned back to him. He titled his head slightly, motioning for Doflamingo to continue. The elder brother simply sighed and gave Corazons shoulder a squeeze of his own before letting it fall.

"If you have to ask, then you wouldn't understand."

Corazon turned back to you before giving his brother a nod. He did understand, but he wouldn't let his brother know that.

The two brothers watched you almost dance around the store, a small collection of dresses for the girl in your free arm as you finally went to go pay. Gathering the bag, you placed Baby 5 down and thanked the vendor, leading the girl out and smiling beautifully at the two brothers as you passed them.

There was a moment of silence between the Donquixotes, before Doflamingo finally murmured out,

"... That's what I meant."

He followed after you, leaving Corazon to lean outside the store. His heart clenched as Doflamingo laid a hand on the top of your head, your head turning to look up at him and Corazon felt something snap as you smiled lovingly up at his brother. He hated how suave his brother was and how dirty he played, watching you fall into his hands like easy prey. You didn't deserve the pain his brother would give you, treating you like a fly stuck in a spiders web.

Corazon decided then that he would do everything in his power to get you out.

That night, the crew had taken over a tavern, drinking it dry and eating everything available, the poor owner having no choice but to sit back and watch the Donquixotes rip his livelihood apart for their own amusement. You sat between the brothers, an old logbook in your hands that you'd stolen from the local bookstore, making marks and little ticks in the book to anything you thought important.

"While I admire your dedication, I really wish you'd relax."

You jumped at the sudden voice, looking up at your Captain with a wide grin and a laugh as you reply,

"This is me relaxing."

Doflamingo gave a cackle, his head tilting back as the sound echoed to the ceiling. Your cheeks burned, thinking he was making fun of you, but when he looked back to you, his hand went under your chin, forcing you to keep eye contact. His thumb ran over your lower lip as he replied lightly,

"I could show you how to really relax, if you'd like."

Your eyes stared into the rose tinted glasses, rendered mute for a moment until you laughed nervously, pulling your face from his grasp.

"Maybe next time."

You remove yourself from between the brothers as you gather your book, waving them off as you said your good nights, making your way to the rooms upstairs. You checked the kids first, sighing softly with a small smile as Baby 5, Buffalo and Dellinger rested, oblivious to the party raging downstairs.

Closing the door, you turned and jumped, fist raised and ready to attack as you took in a shadow, giving an irritated grunt as Corazon stepped out from the darkness.

/You okay?/

You gave a soft "Tsk," and lowered your fist, straightening yourself before signing back,

/You scared the shit out of me./

He immediately signed back,

/I'm so sorry./

You gave a soft sigh and nodded, rubbing a tired hand over your face.

"It's okay, I'm just... on edge."

Corazon tilted his head curiously, motioning for you to continue so you grabbed his hand, pulling him to your room and closing the door behind you after pushing him in.

You rested your forehead against the door before turning and looking at him, your eyes sad and expression nervous as you asked,

"Can I trust you?"

He sat on the edge of the bed, his hands in his lap as he threw a long leg over the other. He stared you down for a long moment before giving a solid nod, his own expression determined.

You placed your book on the small dresser and walked to him, sitting beside him and staring out the open window. You were silent for a while, gathering strength to be honest with the younger Donquixote.

"... I think I want to leave."

Your voice was so soft that Corazon wasn't sure he heard you properly. One of his hands met your back and gave it a gentle rub as your face collapsed into your palms. His heart broke as a soft sob left you, your shoulders shaking as you bit back more tears.

"I think I bit off way more than I could chew and now I'm fucked."

While you sobbed into your hands, you took no notice of his other hand moving outwards almost lazily, a soft murmur coming from him but you didn't hear, too in your emotions to pay attention to anything else.

"... calm..."

A soft blue barrier washed over you two, a feeling of a breeze washing over your skin, causing you to lift your face from your palms in confusion. You turned to Corazon as he lifted his hand from your back and signed to you,

/... can I trust you?/

You gently reached out and took his hand in both of yours, thumbs brushing over the back of his as you gave a solid nod of your own. He took a shaky breath before responding in a low voice,

"... you don't deserve this."

You froze, eyes wide as your breath hitched in your throat. He... spoke.

He spoke.

Your mind ran on that one thought for a moment, heart pounding in your chest as your eyes finally met his once again, clear anxiousness written across his face as he waited for you to say something, anything.

"You..."

Tears welled in your eyes again as you finally choked out,

"Cora-san... help me."

You're pulled into his lap, his strong arms tight around you as your face buries into his neck. One of his hands cradles the back of your head while the other rubs over your back, his own eyes prickling with tears as he holds you to him.

"I'm so sorry you got caught up in Doflamingos insanity. You are too good for him."

You clung to Corazon like a moth to an open flame, his velvety voice washing over your skin and warming you from the inside out. After a while, you pulled away, wiping at your face as you murmured,

"I'm so sorry, how embarrassing-"

Your voice faltered as he cups your face, thumbs brushing away left over tears as his eyes bored into yours.

"Never apologize for being honest."

Your eyes searched his, your hands moving to his chest and lightly gripping around his shirt. Slowly, your faces moved closer, his nose brushing against yours as your breath mingled, lips so close-

There was an explosion of light outside the window, pulling both of your attention to it. The smell of smoke met your nose and you gasped, looking back to Corazon with a worried expression. Hopping off his lap, you ran to the window and groaned at the sight, seeing the building across from the tavern now decimated and in ruins, flames licking the sky. Doflamingo stood before it, his arms raised as he cackled maliciously to the sky. There was no sound which confused you, your head turning to question Corazon when suddenly it returned, Doflamingos laugh chilling you to the bone. It mingled with the crackle of the fire, your arms wrapping around yourself as you took in the sight.

"God damn," you breathed out, stepping back from the window and jumping when your back met Corazons stomach. You looked up at him and your brows furrowed nervously as you took in his expression, his emotions screaming out of his face as he took in the sight.

"Your brother is fucking terrifying, Corazon."

He looked down at you when you spoke, a deep frown on his lip as he gave you a slow nod, raising a hand to sign,

/He is./

You frowned, confused as you whispered out,

"... Are you mute or not?"

He shook his head sadly, running a nervous hand through his hair under his hat before signing,

/I'm mute for my own safety./

You turned and wrapped your arms around him, worry eating away at your heart as his own arms caged you to him.

"... Are you in danger, Cora-san?"

There was silence between you, and you squeezed him slightly, your face pressed against his sternum as he wrote Y E S on your back with a finger. Your own fingers clenched around his shirt, giving a soft sigh of relief as silence rested over you both once more. You pulled back to look up at him and asked,

"You have a devil fruit?"

He nodded slowly, his eyes still watching the chaos outside the window.

"You have to promise me you won't say anything."

Your expression steeled as you confirmed confidently,

"I'd die before saying anything."

His eyes snapped to you, his face breaking as he looked down at you. A large hand cupped your face and you leaned into it, one of your hands moving to press against the back of his own.

"Now I need you to promise you won't die for me."

You couldn't help but laugh, eyes tearing up as you pressed a kiss to his palm before you joked back,

"No promises, Cora-san."

No longer having the strength to keep watching his brothers madness, he took you away from the window, sitting back on the bed and returning you to his lap. Your legs caged his waist, hands on his shoulders as his own brushed over your hips. You shivered under his touch, both your cheeks burning bright red as your eyes met.

You made the first move, pressing a quick but gentle kiss to the side of his lips, smiling to yourself at the small gasp that left him. His lips chased yours as you slowly pulled back, brushing your nose against his as your lips barely touched. A soft moan escaped you and his fingers twitched, digging into your flesh as he finally captured your mouth, a delicious mound growing under you which you lovingly ground against.

Corazons breath caught in his chest as he kissed you, unable to form any thought as his hands met your ass, pressing you down against him to relieve the pressure of his cock straining in his pants. You moaned again, the sound muffled by his lips as his tongue brushed against your bottom lip. You gave him entrance and a low groan reverberated in his chest, his fingers gripping your ass cheeks as you felt your panties become soaked from your warmth.

His lips left yours to trail over your neck, your head falling back as his lips and teeth teased your flesh, your hips grinding against him almost desperately as one of his hands crawled up your shirt. His massive hand took a breast into it, his deft fingers twisting and teasing a perky nipple, grinning into your skin as you moaned his name.

"I could listen to that all day," he breathed out against your neck before leaving a hickey, his tongue licking over the bruising once he was pleased with it. He took in your breathless look for a moment, pleased with himself as he murmured down to you deliciously,

"Can I be selfish? Can I have you tonight?"

Your hands immediately went to his button-up, ripping at the fabric and pushing it from his shoulders. He gave a pleased laugh, capturing your wrists to stop you as he kissed you again, a little softer than before as he murmured,

"Say yes."

You kissed him back for a moment before brushing your nose along his cheek, your lips right by his ear as you whispered with a beg,

"Please fuck me, Cora-san."

The man's brain malfunctioned, a choked sound leaving him as his hands tightened around your wrists, a desperate need snapping in him. You blinked and your back was against the bed, Corazon towering over you as his hands ripped off your clothes, your own hands tearing at his belt and pants.

Once you were naked under him, his hands teased over your skin, his eyes taking in every inch of you as if committing your body to his memory. He wanted to capture everything, every little moan, every twitch your body gave - he wanted it all.

"You're so beautiful," he murmured as his fingers danced over your soaked cunt, grinning to himself as your hips twitched towards them, a fleeting whine leaving your lips as he pulled them away.

"Please, Cora-san, please, I need you -"

Your voice cracked as he pressed a finger until you, your eyes rolling back as a filthy whimper left you. He quickly added a second, slowly beginning to stretch you as he pumped in and out, your pussy squeezing around his fingers to the point he sucked a hiss in through his teeth, his other hand gripping his massive cock through his undies for a moment before caging over you again. You almost blacked out as he added a third, stretching you more than you'd ever been before, and your hand met his wrist, tears pricking your eyes.

"Too much, love?"

His eyes were so kind, so loving as he looked down at you, tears spilling from your own as you gave a small shake of your head.

"I... I just need... a second..."

When you were ready, you gave a nod and moved against his hand, moaning deliciously as the fire returned, pleasure overtaking the pain as he finger fucked you into the mattress. You were so close, praise babbling past your lips as your eyes bored into his own. His cheeks were bright red, lipstick smeared on his face and you assumed your own, a hand cupping his cheek as you cried,

"I'm so close, I'm so close, God please Cora-san, please, I'm gunna cum, I'm-"

His lips devoured yours as he pistoned into you, your breasts bouncing slightly at the ferocity. Your hands wrapped around the back of his neck, nails digging into his back as you spilled over the edge, almost sobbing into the kiss as you gushed over his fingers, squirting over and over and staining the bedsheets. He let you ride your orgasm out entirely, leaving his fingers inside your soaked cunt until he knew you were coming down. Pulling them from you, he brought his hand to his mouth and licked them clean, moaning at how sweet you tasted.

If he died tomorrow, he knew he would die a happy man, just from your taste alone.

"... that was so beautiful," he choked out as your tired hands pulled at his boxers, fingers dipping into the waistband and brushing against his incredibly large cock. He gave a shuddering moan at the feeling, pulling his undies down and kicking them off before situating himself between your legs, precum pooling at the tip of his cock and dripping onto your mound. You shivered at the feeling, the wet slick chilling you as a breeze swept into the room.

You both stared each other down, your gazes similar as he leaned down to capture your lips once again. His tip pressed into you, and you whined with a hiss, pulling back from the kiss to look up at him. One of his hands tenderly holds your face as he slowly presses into you, guilt seeping into his skin as he watches your face scrunch in pain.

"Do you-"

You glare up at him as best you can as you bite out,

"Don't you dare stop."

Something in him snaps, and he fills you in one thrust, groaning loudly at how tight you are as your mouth falls open in a silent scream. Your eyes roll back and you arch off the bed, the tip of his cock assaulting your insides as you try to relax and adjust to his massive size.

"Such a good girl, you're so good for me," he praises you softly as he slowly pulls out and presses back into you just as slow. It takes only a moment for the pleasure to overtake the pain and you pant, giving him a begging look as you cry out,

"Harder!"

His hips immediately snap into yours, pulling a choked sound from you as he begins to fuck you, his head thrown back as he moans to the ceiling. His hands are rough on your hips, fingers digging into your skin to the point it bruises. You watch your stomach grow everytime he thrusts into you, his cock overfilling you and pushing you beyond the divides of pleasure that you've ever felt.

He suddenly cages over you, one hand moving from your hips to roughly grab your face, an almost dark look in his eyes as he watches you with blown pupils.

"You gunna cum for me?"

You moan shakily at his words, the thread inside you threatening to snap once again as he continues to rearrange your organs.

"I ask you a question."

He stops moving and you cry out, tears stinging your eyes again as your hips try to fuck against him to no avail.

"Yes baby, yes, please make me cum, make me yours, make me cum baby, please-"

Five deep and possessive thrusts is all it took for you to scream out, sobbing out his name as he fucks a second orgasm out of you, his hips stuttering and losing his rythym as he follows you over the edge, choking out your name as his forehead meets yours. You feel his cock twitch inside you, his seed spilling out and joining your stains as he lazily thrusted, chasing the butterfly kisses of pleasure as his lips press against yours.

You both hold each other, kisses and soft breaths exchanged as tears rush out of your eyes. You flinched as something wet hits your cheeks, and you can't bite back the sob that leaves you as you take in Corazons own teary-eyed face. Your hands cup his face, and you kiss him over and over, your legs still wrapped around his waist as if he'd disappear the second you let go.

"Y/N,"

His voice was so soft, his throat wrecked from his moans and sobbing.

"D-did you mean it?"

You wiped at your eyes with the back of your hand, brows furrowed slightly in confusion as he chokes on his words, his cheeks bright red as he somehow gets out,

"... make you mine?"

Your own face burned bright red and you nodded, pursing your lips into a tight line for a moment before responding,

"Y-yeah."

Tears roll down his face like a waterfall, his face scrunched as he sobs,

"Really?"

You can't help but laugh lightly, your hands taking his face as your thumbs wipe away the never-ending onslaught of tears. You gave him a genuine, loving smile as you replied,

"... If you'll have me."

His cock twitched inside you and you wince with a moan, your back arching slightly as he thrusts into you again. He cages over you again and he slowly begins to fuck you again, his lips pressing to yours hard for a moment before he pulls away to breath out,

"Mine."

His teeth nip your bottom lip.

"My beautiful girl."

They move to your neck, sucking and biting the flesh til his name was written across your entire body.

"...Mine."

He catches your chin in a rough grasp again. His eyes are half-lidded, heavy and full of obsession as he moaned out,

"Mine."

note!... reader has eaten the resu-resu no mi—meaning resurrection—the fruit can revive other people but there are two ways that the user can do to be able to revive that person. one, the user has to give away a few years off of their lifespan and, depending on the number of years, that'll be the amount of years that the revived person will live for god-knows-how-long until they decay and disappear. and the second option is that, the user has to collect some of the selected person's DNA in order to resurrect them. not sure if that's how it'll work in my opinion but let's just pretend that it makes sense 👍 ( 1,866 words!! woah!!! :O it isnt as much as the other one but still a lot! also reader is referred to as “[name]” once )

━━ . A HEAVY WEIGHED HEART。corazón & law oneshot!!

he wouldn't believe it.

he couldn't, really. it's been too long, to count how many years it's been.

if some soul were to, he wouldn't accept it—that's impossible on his part. resurrection isn't possible at all and cannot happen. that's what he believed—everybody does.

and right here, right now, is where he stands; easily towering over you with his enormous form as his hands—worn off by years of marine training and stressing peeling, dry and cracked from endlessly stuffing them inside the pockets of his tight jeans—tremble and twitch in disbelief and shock.

donquixote rosinante, whom have been dead for the passing thirteen years from the cause of being shot two to three times by his own blood brother, was now alive and breathing like a living being than dead, had he not been revived by you.

he first examines his abnormally large hands, flipping them from one side to the other before having one of them touch his cheek—squishing it a little and then going up to his gold locks, interlocking them in between his slim fingers (and not caring if it messes up the hat he wore).

eventually, tears start to well up in the corners of his eyes and his lower lip tremble whilst his teeth clench together as he tried to keep his emotions in from pouring out aggressively—which he, of course, fails ultimately. happiness and relief registered on his face, he shuts his eyes closed for a second and rubs off the excess years with the sleeve of his shirt before opening them again and began to bawl his eyes out—running towards you with open arms while calling out your name loudly as he cries.

you didn't get a moment to process or open your own arms as you were scooped up and crushed into an almost threatening bone-crushing hug, arms squeezed at your sides with your legs dangling in the air from being picked up off the ground. hearing his loud sobbing and cries of your name as wet tears begin to soak your shoulder, you're not sure if you could comfort him because you can't since your lungs were on the brink of bursting and your arms weren't available to be moved—thanks to corazón hugging the soul out of you unintentionally, his extended arms wrapping around you; including your arms.

your name is continuously called by him alongside saying such as, “i missed you!!!”, “did you revive me?? thank you so much, [name]!!!”, or “do you know where law is??!”. he would've made you deaf in one ear with how loud he's being if it weren't muffled by your shoulder—still, his depressed-sounding voice quite audible nonetheless.

by the time he lessened his grasp (yet remained hugging you in his arms), your chest heaved deeply and took heavy amounts of air from not having the ability the breathe for seconds. corazón had an apologetic expression on his face before he smiled when you turned to him, very much happy to see you again.

you decide to take a few minutes to examine his whole figure, and you can tell clearly that he looked the exact same before the day he was killed—wearing the same heart-patterned shirt, the familiar dark red hood from which those two heart-like shapes hang, that dark feathered mantle hanging from his broad shoulders, his make-up left completely untouched, and the lit cigarette hanging from his painted red lips (thankfully nowhere near your hair or clothes)—except the two-to-three punctured holes were left in his shirt with dried blood seeped into its fabric. from you could see, the gunshot wounds were completely healed except the notable scars left behind.

other than that, he appeared fine—though it's noticeable to see the dried tear tracks traveling from his eyes to the end of his jaw.

“i'm so happy to see you again,” corazón said, voice hoarse from all the sobbing and brawling. he sniffles and hugs you again—this time it was more gentle and not so crushing as it was earlier. the large man rests his chin on your shoulder with closed eyes, he still couldn't believe that this is actually real.

“i do, too.” you pat his back with a hand before he settles you back down to the floor, being careful as he does. that was when you discovered someone else in the area, not just you and corazón alone. exactly just as you anticipated.

turning around in a random direction (ignoring the taller guy's confused and questioning gaze), you cupped one side of your mouth and called out to the figure behind the trees. “hey, law! no use in being part of the shadows, huh?”

corazón's eyes widen at the familiar name, past memories flood into his mind as his breath shakens in a sudden moment.

the unidentified person in question doesn't respond and is quiet—except they quietly step out, and there reveals a raven-haired man with a goatee, wearing a dark-spotted fur hat on his head and holds a sheathed sword over his shoulder. instead of the usual observant expression on his face, you can describe the shock and slight disbelief he shows in his wide eyes—even as he tried to put on a calm demeanour. to this, your own face softens as your lips widen and upturned.

meanwhile, corazón was frozen on his spot, seemingly in pure thunderstuck at the appearance of trafalgar d. water law—now grown up from a frail thirteen year old to an adult in his mid twenty's. nonetheless, the younger donquixote was glad that law was alive and well.

“c-” law tried to speak, but his words die in his throat as he is still in bewilderment on what he just witness earlier. corazón opens his mouth, on an attempt to speak, but his lips close shut like a fish.

“cora-san…?” out came a hoarse whisper from the dark-haired man, drenched in disbelief as his heart ached in his chest. law blinked and stared, terrified that if he moved this would all have been a dream, some twisted apparition due to being so close to his goal. As much as he wanted to run towards corazón, throw his arms around him and feel like the happy child reunited with a father he had once been...

yet, he didn’t dare to move—didn’t dare ruin this precious moment, even if it was fake; a cruel conjuring of his mind, and he still wanted to savor it with every fiber of his being.

“law,”

hearing the voice he heard in both his dreams of happier times and his nightmares of spirling loss, grief, and guilt—law couldn't take much no more. placing a step backwards and balling his hand into a firm fist, the surgeon of death braced himself for the vivid memory of cora-san to blow away like the smoke that danced from the older man's lit cigarette.

on one side, the sun's light shined down upon to reflect the blond's mildly wavy hair, akin to pure gold found in buried treasure. the smile on his own savior's face almost rivaled the brightness of the big star in the blue sky—whisps of white clouds in the distance sat high in the sky as it passed by slowly, almost like a backdrop that made cora-san look as if he had wings.

you decide to walk back a few steps—in case if law were to charge and crash into corazón's lean arms—not daring to say a thing about this whole exchange and let the two individuals have their first conversation without interruption in thirteen years.

law breaks the prologued silence before corazón could. “... you're alive, now.” he starts, in a voice barely above a whisper.

of course, he is. the bigger man glances at your direction, catching glimpse of the current look on your face— if it weren't for you, it would've never happened. —he stared before directing his eyes back to the former kid he took care of.

the blond nods, albeit slowly and hesitant about how the other would act afterwards. a shallow sigh escapes through his nose—he does nothing but lift up an arm to scratch the back of his head and offer (an attempt of) a smile, trying to put together a reason that would be good enough for law.

law forces his eyelids to shut his vision away—taking in everything, counting to ten, feeling his jaw sore from how hardly pressed he’s clenched his teeth to avoid insults spilling out. he firmly stood there, stiff, unmoving, confused, hurt, relieved, angry, and happy. law does know if he should direct that to cora-san or you.

it was a moment of silence in the atmosphere and it extended the longer no one said a thing; that wasn’t until the scent of cigarette smoke got stronger through the surgeon's nostrils and the feeling of arms enclosed around his body. he let out a choked sound—something between a sob and an agitated grunt—his now opened eyes that showed his yellow-colored irises start to shake a little. then, his tense body relaxes against cora-san’s chest and lifts his arms up to wrap them around those familiar shoulders, letting the emotions years in the making create a cascade down his cheeks. in silence, cora-san rested his chin on top of his furry hat, rubbing his back up and down and letting his unofficially adopted son feel everything all at once.

“i am back now, law, that’s all that matters to us. i won’t leave you again.” the blond reassures and felt law grasp at his feathered coat, holding tight in his palms. “c-... cora-san...” law utters through his choked sobs, trembling and shaking all the way.

“...” corazón didn't need any more words to speak as he embraces the surgeon of death in his arms, closing his eyes doing so.

you watch the scene and almost feel tears well up in your own eyes—wiping them away quickly before they fall—with a sad smile that dons your face. and you don't make a move to step away any further to leave the two reunited men alone.

corazón takes a peak at you, and then law, and again looks at you to give you the widest smile he could ever send someone—still hugging law nonetheless—though he shows a hand that is in the pose of a peace sign, which you smile happily.

law remained and didn't want to ever pull away from cora-san's embrace of comfort, as he felt for the first time in years of guilt... that he could live again without the burden cora-san never intended to settle on his shoulders.

and, he has never wanted to thank someone so much as he did now before.
