Rated: T

Summary: Hancock seems to lose her breath around Luffy and this causes other symptoms to ensue.

A/N: I decided to step up and write one of the first ever Luffy x Hancock fanfics. If you like this fic, I suggest you put this one on your alert/favorites list. Give a review at the least.

Seems like everyone else has a love just for them

The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock did not know how to describe this feeling. She felt like she could let her guard down and not feel scorned for the horrible past she and her sisters had to endure. She usually thought of men as nothing above the dirt ground she strutted across but Luffy was an exception. She felt like giving the world to him. Elder Nyon described this feeling, for lack of a better word as love.

I don't mind; we have such a good time, my best friend

Monkey D. Luffy was the only other person other than, Marigold and Sandersonia, that she allowed herself to be open with. He would sometimes tell her jokes and show her his latest goofy dance and no matter how immature they were, Hebihime always felt a chuckle escape her lips.

But sometimes, we I wish we could be more than friends

Tell me do you know?

Tell me do you know?

Oh

Even though Luffy was be oblivious to her love attempts, she always stayed optimistic and told herself that true love will blossom for them in due time, for Luffy has too many other obligations on his mind at the moment to think about a relationship with a woman because his love resides in the vast waters of the sea. Boa has no other option but to admire him in her dreams.

I get so breathless when you call my name

I've often wondered, do you feel the same?

There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity when we're all alone

So don't tell me you can't see what I'm thinking of

She once told him to call her Hancock as opposed to any other title. Neither Hebihime-sama nor Hancock-sama, but just simply Hancock. She couldn't help but blush even when he mispronounced with the ever popular reply, " Ok got it, Hanmock"

I can understand that you don't want to cross the line

And you know I can't promise you things will turn out fine

But I have to be honest: I want you to be mine

Tell me, do you know?

Tell me, do you know?

Oh!

No matter how much her heart urged her on, she couldn't bear to look him in the eyes, afraid that he might read her like a book and reject her. The Tenryuubito mark on her back prevented her from displaying her true feelings in public and if they did get together, the symbol of slavery would make him feel tied down too and this wasn't going to work since Luffy is the man who will be the Pirate King and freedom means a lot to him if he is ever going to succeed.

Oh!

On one instance, he did pronounce her name correctly and that was when asking her to get some food from the Marines. She admired his sincerity-how he could forgive easily even after she tried to kill him. Her flushed cheeks always kept the rouge color when he was either talking to her or if they were in the same vicinity. They were likely to get even darker as she thought about him.

'Cause I've tried to get this right in your own time

I've been telling with my eyes my hearts on fire; why don't you realize?

Tell me, do you know?

Tell me, do you know?

She didn't know why she agreed to Luffy's request, despite all the fear she held towards that disgraceful 'Holy Land.' She went along with it because it was what the heart wanted at the time. By helping Luffy, she would be helping her homeland and sating her lovesickness. Her blush was always present but Luffy never seems to notice, as he has his mind wrapped around saving his brother and after that his mind will be set back on finding his nakama. Poor Hancock would just have to deal with this idea.

She watches him daily, as he stares at the burning piece of paper that use to resemble Ace's biblicard. It kills her to see him worry and even though she is with him now, she feels intense pain attack her heart. She can't bear to see the man she loves worry.

She would have to get a grip of herself and manage her illness, if she wanted to last long enough to help him. If she couldn't be with him then the only alternative would be to help him until he decides if he wants to be with her on his own accord. After all, Luffy only did what he felt like doing and after he lives his dream he would probably come back and make her his queen, as she always thought of it.

A/N: There it is. I was so peeved that no one has bothered to make a fan fiction about this pairing. I mean, COME ON, it's CANON even though it's one sided. This is probably the closest to romance that Oda would ever put in One Piece.

Keep in touch for another chapter of this nature. Same pairing, different song.

Thank you for reading and review please.
