Luffy X Hancock: Love and War (RM)

A Kiss

Luffys Pov:

Sanji started cooking and everyone went in the kitchen to wait. I sat down at the table.

As I waited for my food, everyone was looking at me for some reason. I didn't know what it meant. I looked down at myself to see if everything was okay. Everything looked to be in place.

Maybe it was because I normally yelled for food and I was being quiet. I guess that was out of the ordinary.

"SANJI SANJI FOOD FOOD!!" I yell.

I look back up to see that Brooke Chopper and Ussop have looked away.

However, Nami, Robin, Zoro, and Franky are still looking at me. They're the smart ones of the ship so maybe they weren't fooled by my little act.

I check myself over one more time to see if everything is okay. I look back up confused.

"What's wrong? Is it cuz I normally yell more than that?" I ask.

"You are such an idiot, Luffy." says Nami.

"What did I do know?"

"Go sit outside with Hancock."

"What? Why would I do that? I never eat outside."

"JUST DO IT!!! TALK TO HER!!!"

"Okay, sorry Nami." I apologise.

I run outside and away from Nami as quick as I can. Nami is scary. I walk up to Hancock. She has been acting weird lately. She seemed scared of everyone and everything. Of course she would talk to the other crew members but it was reluctantly. She even seemed a little scared when speaking to me. It wasn't much, but I was still surprised.

Nami was right. I did need to talk to her. But I didn't know what to say to make her feel better. Those Celestial Dragons caused all of this pain for her, I hated those guys so much. Earlier, whenever Nami put her hand on Hancock's shoulder, Hancock backed up a little bit. She still wasn't alright and our crew's shenanigans probably didn't help. If anything, they stressed her out more. I hadn't talked to her yet but I would need to comfort her. I needed to help her calm down so that she could be herself again.

3rd person Pov:

"Well, Nami told me to come sit out here and talk with you. I know you're still a bit shook up from earlier. I wish I could've gotten there faster for you." He said, uncharacteristically apologetic. "But anyway, is there anything you want to talk about? Anything you want to say?" He asked.

There was a lot she wanted to say. But time was a limitation. And Boa could only say so much; she could only speak so fast. She took a deep breath.

"Yeah, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for doing that, and I'm sorry that I caused you so much trouble. Honestly, I didn't expect you to come after me. I know well enough how bold you are, but I didn't think it would actually happen..."she paused for a moment, glancing over to him. His skin glowed in a special way under the gentle blue of the moon. It enticed her. "So I'm thankful that you came. I didn't even spend a day there. Thank you, Luffy."

"Don't mention it, I wouldn't let you die or spend your life suffering. When I met you, you made it clear that it was a bad experience. Remember that? You used to hate me shishishi." He said cheerfully.

She frowned. That was indeed the past and she hugely regreted it. But had it not been for their past, then they likely would have never grown so close. He continued.

"I couldn't have the knowledge that you were suffering as a slave again and do nothing. Especially when it happened because you sacrificed yourself for me"

"I love you, Luffy." She said, sheepishly kissing him on the cheek.

Of course, this took all of her courage, his seeming lack of response worried her. Perhaps he was disappointed by her promiscuity, or perhaps he was happy but didn't know how to speak.
If he shut her down then her dignity would be absolutely destroyed.

Hancock Pov:

I look to him for a reaction or a sign but he doesn't give me one. His face stays stagnant he shows no emotion. His face showed nothing at all.

As the time began to elapse I began to get more and more scared. What was it? Was he disappointed? Was he frustrated at me? The silence and stern look in his face as he didn't say a word intimidated me greatly.

Eventually I broke. I couldn't wait patiently and hope for the best any longer. I had to face the fact that he didn't like it.

I began to cry, but I hid it as good as I could. I didn't know what to say so I waited for him to react or say something

What would he say? What would he do?
