Puffing your cheeks, you started to stomp angrily while glaring daggers at Doflamingo, who just looked down at you fairly amused. It wasn't fair at all! Why couldn't you go with them on a mission? After a long, and kinda confusing staring contest, Doflamingo's sunglasses won, making you sigh. 

"You're mean!" You whined childishly. "What am I supposed to do here?" Doflamingo laughed and patted your head, almost having to bend down. Seriously, this guy is immense. 

"You can talk with Corazon." He suggested, pointing at his brother over his shoulder. You looked at the blond man who was calmly smoking, not aware in the slightest of the conversation. So he was staying there with you too... After that, you puffed your cheeks again.

"No, it's boring." You complained and Doflamingo sighed, starting to feel annoyed, despite how amusing he found your childish side. 

"Then bother him. It's your specialty, after all." 

"Hey!... Well, that does sound like me..." Giving a sigh of resignation, you smiled evilly at your captain. "Why not?" Doflamingo chuckled and finally turned around, waving his hand while he left along the rest of the crew. 

"Cora-san~." You cooed while walking towards the man. He looked up at you with curious eyes and tilted his head, a questioning rumble leaving his chest. You giggled a bit and plopped down onto the sofa, making him jump slightly. "I'm boooooored." You whined and Corazon sighed, he knew what was going to come. All of a sudden, you jumped a little and grabbed his right arm, bouncing up and down. "Let's play hide-and-seek!" 

'No.' Said the note he had already written. Oh, he knew you like the back of his hand. You whined and jumped off the purple sofa, arm still in your possession, and tugged. Corazon mildly glared at you. "No." he thought. "She isn't-"

"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, lazy ass, lazy ass, lazy ass, lazy ass, c'mon, c'mon-"

"Dammit! I'm going, shut up already!" He snapped standing up, and you smiled widely.

"That's better, and, Cora-san... Don't use those stupid notes, there isn't anyone here." You chimed happily and started to run, leaving clear that he was the one searching. 

"Where the heck is she?" Come on, there's no way you can know the ship better than him. He had already searched in everyone's room, the deck, even the storage room despite your extreme loath to it. The memories made him smile. 

He shook his head, making his shaggy blond hair move from side to side. He had to look for you. And save his soul if he lasts too long to find you...

"There's no way he can find me..." You smiled to yourself as you entered the kitchen as fast, yet silently, as you could. "Ah, I'm thirsty. Well, it will take him ages to find me, so..." Skipping towards the fridge, you opened the door and enjoyed the wave of cold air that met your heated body. Certainly, it was way too hot in the ship, let alone the fact that you spend the day running and jumping around. 

Looking into it, you started searching for some (F/D), sometimes letting your gaze wander towards the door just in case Corazon made a miracle and appeared there sooner. If he was lucky, maybe he hadn't tripped yet. You let out a little giggle at that. 

Finally, you found that glorious drink and took it eagerly. When you opened the bottle, the marvelous scent reached your nostrils, and you felt your throat go drier by the moment. Then, without a second thought, you gulped down the drink before letting out a relieved sigh. It was so good. 

Your head snapped towards the door as you heard faint footsteps and you hurried to hide under the counter, barely holding a giggle. The hide place wasn't the coziest, but it would be okay. 

But suddenly, you started to feel more comfortable, and slowly you felt that you weren't touching the walls anymore. Arching an eyebrow, you curiously looked at your hand, before letting out a gasp. 

Corazon looked at the counter from the corner of his eye and repressed a chuckle. He was 100% sure that you were there. This was being way too easy. He was practically seeing it as one of your pranks, infuriating as hilarious. 

The blond reached for the handle and, in a single movement, opened the cupboard, wide smile gracing his features.

"Got ya!" He chimed, but the childishly happy expression vanished from his expression when he saw... nothing. You weren't there. "Dammit." He muttered and shut the mini-door. 

"AHHHHH!" Rocinante got up immediately upon hearing the loud screech. It was you, he was sure, although your voice sounded way... higher. He exited the bathroom in a rush, and headed towards the source of the sound.

"(Y/N)! I'm com-ahhh!" That's when he suddenly tripped, making his back collide painfully with the wooden floor. Letting out a low growl, he bumped his head against the floor. "Damn clumsiness!"

"Cora-san! Cora-san" Help-" You stopped dead in your tracks upon seeing the older man laying on the floor. A normal person would help him to stand up. Of course, you weren't a normal person, so you simply burst out laughing. "Oh my god! I knew you were going to trip."

"(Y/N)... What happened that made you... scream...?" You stopped laughing when Corazon looked you up and down, eyes wide in surprise and disbelief. Of course, this made you blush, since he stayed looking at you for a long time. "Oh..."

"'Oh?' That's all you have to say? Help me!" In front of him were you, although you had changed a bit. The clothes you decided to put on that morning were now way too big for you, so barely covered your now flatter torso. Your (H/C) hair was slightly (longer/shorter), and those beautiful (E/C) eyes he had always loved were now big and full of innocence. 

"What have you done, (Y/N)?" He asked dragging a hand down his face. He couldn't believe that his girlfriend had suddenly become a 10-year-old. You puffed your cheeks and stomped over him, punching him on the arm with your now tiny fists.

"I didn't do anything bad... maybe..." The drink that you drank suddenly came to your mind. "Don't tell me..."

"What?" Corazon was already getting impatient. He didn't really like children, and now he had to take care of one. 

"I think it had something to do with something I drank earlier." Corazon glared at you and you huffed, looking away. "Hey, it looked exactly like (F/D)!" Sighing, Corazon got up and took your hand. "Where are we going?" After a while of silence, Corazon answered.

"Show me that bottle."

Nothing, the bottle didn't give any clue. Since there was no label, he couldn't even know what you drank. He closed the fridge and looked down at you. You were currently sitting by the kitchen table and reading a book you had left there that morning. Corazon smiled.

"You know, you look prettier when you're not fooling around?" You looked at him and giggled, then closed the book and got up.

"What are we going to do about this?" Corazon stayed thoughtful and finally sighed for the umpteenth time that day.

"I don't know. I think we will have to ask the others when they come back."

"Well... okay." You said finally and suddenly clung to his leg. He looked down, and arched an eyebrow while you gave him your famous angry-blowfish face. "Take me to the bathroom. I want to change... maybe I can borrow some clothes from Baby 5..."

"Can't you go alone?" He asked exasperatedly. You shook your head innocently, putting lost puppy eyes and Corazon grunted. How in Hell was he going to deny something to those eyes from a little (Y/N) when he couldn't even deny the grown up girl's ones.

"By the way, Cora-san..." He hummed, taking your hand and starting towards the bathroom."Do you think I'm behaving like myself?" Corazon then couldn't help a smirk.

"I can't really tell... I don't see any actual difference."

"...You're mean!" 

The blond man sighed as he leaned his head against the wooden surface of the door that gave to Baby 5's room. After half an hour in the bathroom, you ran towards the girl's bedroom with your own towel hanging from your now much smaller frame. Teenager or adult, it didn't matter, you still stayed in there for an eternity.

That's when he felt a presence on the ship, and he knew that they were back. He almost sang to the Heavens, finally, he could find a solution to this... dammed situation. 

The first person he saw was Baby 5, who stopped right beside him and looked at the blond curiously.

"Cora-san? What are you doing here?" She asked with puffed cheeks, making the man sigh. He took out a note and wrote quickly.

'Watching life pass by.' It said. Baby 5 tilted her head before giggling loudly. She, somehow, managed to push Corazon away and get into her bedroom. Then, she screamed and the blond, startled, got up. What could she be screaming for? Maybe it was your corpse... No way!

"W-Who are you? A-And what are y-you doing with my dresses?" Corazon looked into the room and sighed, before letting a rumble coming from his chest.

You looked up cutely, a dark blue dress reaching your knees, and let out a soft "Huh?". Doflamingo appeared near his brother, almost giving the younger man a heart attack and watched as Baby 5 poked you on the cheek.

"You look like (Y/N)." Doflamingo chuckled and got into the room. He patted your head, much like he does when you are... you. 

"That's because she is." The raven-haired girl's eyes widened and she jumped backwards.

"What?!"

"(Y/N), (Y/N)... when are you going to leave your curiosity aside?" Doflamingo sounded as if he were scolding a little child... tho that's what he was actually doing. You looked down and muttered and apology. "I think that is not necessary to explain the function of this drink, but I think it may have a temporary effect. Tomorrow she will be like herself again." You jumped happily, excited by the idea of getting your real age again. 

"Oh, that's a shame." Popped in Baby 5, giving you a side-hug. "I wanted you to be my age, we could share opinions and-"

"We can share them even with the age gap." You reassured sweetly, and Baby 5 smiled. "And we can always pull pranks on Buffalo and Law, right?" You both started to giggle evilly, then looked at the two boys, who just sweat-dropped.

That night, everyone was reunited to have dinner, and you sat, as always, to Corazon's left. But now, you understood Baby 5's issue, since you had to stand on the chair in order to even reach the napkin. Corazon had laughed -soundlessly- at this, even put out a note and wrote something down, thereupon showing it to you.

'Need help?' You were sure that if he had talked instead of writing it down, the message would be filled with amusement and teasing. You glared at him, but due to your current appearance it didn't look that menacing. 

So instead, you did what you do the best: bother him. With an evil smirk, you reached to get your glass of water and, getting on your tip-toes, poured it on him. Everyone say that glorious display which would be eternally engraved to the walls, mute witnesses. 

The room filled with laugher and Corazon turned red, both from anger and embarrassment. He looked at you and almost fumed at your triumphant smirk. He abruptly got up and grabbed your now little torso with his big hand, earning an annoyed "Hey!" from you. When you were almost reaching the door, you raised both your arms.

"Guys! Help me, I'm gonna die!" There wasn't a single hint of regret in your voice, if something, you were about to burst out laughing. "You traitors...! See you tomorrow at breakfast."

It was strange, you though that Corazon was going to bring you to his room, but, instead, he headed for yours. Once he was inside, he stomped over your bed, but in the way, he just tripped, as it was expected.

"Yay! Freedom!" You chimed as you broke free from his grip, and while he was groaning by the impact, you just crawled away, crushing his stomach with your knee in the process.

"Oh, no... Nothing of freedom." Corazon got up and got you again, making you yelp and screech. That's when he slammed you against the soft mattress and got over you. Before he could go any further, you put your arms over your head in a defensive stance, letting giggles.

"I regret nothing!!" You yelped when his hands grasped your sides and he started tickling you mercilessly. You squirmed and struggled under him, but only managed to make the punishment harder. "Stop it! I'm going to explode! Dammit, stooooooop!" 

"Have you learned the lesson?" He briefly stopped while asking that, although his hands remained at your sides. You gasped for air and, when finally retrieved your breath, you looked at him.

"No." You deadpanned. Corazon's eyebrow twitched and he started to tickle you again. Laugher flowed through your lips like a waterfall, and Corazon certainly enjoyed the sound, so harmonic. Loud, but harmonic. That's when you started to hiccup and he finally stopped, otherwise he could have really killed you. "I hate you."

"Yeah, of course." He got up and you stayed in bed, trying to recover the damn needed breath again. When you calmed yourself down, you heard a loud thud, and barely repressed a giggle. Looking from the edge of the bed, you came to face Corazon's head, who was, once again, kissing the floor.

"Need he-"

"Shut up." You giggled and, helped him up. After muttering a "Thank you" he headed for the door, this time successfully and grabbed the doorknob.

"Wait!" He stopped and looked back. You got your most innocent pose and looked at him as if you were a lost, little child. Certainly, you were going to take advantage of this to the fullest. "Won't you give me a goodnight kiss?" He smiled softly and neared your bed as you got under the covers. He bent down and kissed your forehead, then your left cheek, followed by the right one and finally the nose. You giggled, but tried to put a fake annoyed face. "Stop it, I'm going to get your make up." You whined. "And Cora-san?" He hummed and you smiled. "Sing me a lullaby, please?"

"Keep dreaming." Puffing your cheeks, you leaned in and took his arm, much like you had done that morning. With a sudden force, you managed to jerk it so he fell onto the bed, and wasted no time to tackle him to the mattress before snuggling into his firm chest. He was about to complain when you huffed. "If you're not singing to me, then I will cuddle you" You sentenced, and Corazon chuckled. As bossy as always. He managed to kick his boots and got fully under the sheets, while you hugged him. 

It wasn't long until you fell asleep with the feeling of the actually sweet blond stroking your hair ever so lovingly.
