Chapter 1: On that starry night.
Summary: Hancock is worried and Luffy reassures her. On that starry night!
#OSN#
The most beautiful woman in the world is currently in her immaculate bedchambers, gazing outside the oversized window. She noticed that the dark night sky is being covered by a thick blanket of stars, shining like precious Jules waiting someone to pluck them on their unreachable pedestal. She put one of her slender hands on the left side of her Brest just above her heart. Hancock then closed her pretty sapphire blue eyes, undoubtedly remembering what happened to her in a not so distant past. It is the same as this one, on that starry night.
*Flashback*
The harsh winds blow hard on Hancock's face making her curtain of long inky black hair to fly behind her. The soft sand of the beach stung her bare feet but still she ran. The Pirate Empress willed her long legs to carry her there as fast as humanly possible. She saw that a lone figure is setting up a small boat, going up against the cruel winds and raging waives.
Her beloved is going on another journey; he is again leaving her behind. She at least wants to ask him something before he goes! It may be a foolish question on her part but it can certainly put her troubled heart at ease.
The young man of her dreams turned his head on her direction, undoubtedly sensing her arrival. When Luffy saw her, he swiftly gave a cheery waive in greeting. The rooky pirate let-out a warm smile and is about to say hello but she beat him to it.
Hancock skidded to a stop in front of him and quickly asked her question, unknowingly halting the straw hatted captain's words.
"Luffy, can you please give me a piece of your heart?" She questioned him breathlessly. For the first time in her life, she is looking directly in his big brown eyes.
She is still panting heavily, no thanks to her mad dash to get on the shore. Hancock bit her lip in anticipation, steeling herself on his answer. Her heart is doing summersaults in her chest and she's a little worried that it will fracture her ribcage if it keeps this up.
Luffy's smiling face registered shock but it suddenly adapted a serious expression after. He tilted his head, as if thinking about his reply. After what felt like hours to her but just seconds in reality, he finally decided to end her suffering.
"Nope, I can't give you a piece of my heart!" He exclaimed.
Hancock's lower lip soon trembled and her eyes became downcast. The most beautiful woman in the world will not let her tears fall, she refuse to cry in front of him!
The pirate empress almost jumped when she felt a warm hand clasped hers. When she looked, she saw that Luffy held her hand in his.
He intertwined their fingers together and he put it gently on his chest. She felt the low rumble of his heart and that contact cost her cheeks to color.
Then, he made a grabbing motion using their joined hands. After that, he put their hands on the left side of her chest, just above her Brest. The young pirate let it linger there but he told her something before letting go.
"Why do you want just a piece of my heart, when I already gave you the whole of it?" Luffy told her softly.
Then his smile is back full force, eyes dancing with amusement on her reaction. Hancock was left speechless, hand still on her heart.
She didn't stop him this time, her heart light as a feather. She just watch him go, staying until he's out of sight.
*End flashback*
The pirate empress felt the steady beat of her heart and a serene smile blossomed on her gorgeous face. With just some words, her darling erased her worries, doubts and fears. She didn't think that one gesture can be so sweet! But she guessed that it is how her beloved normally does things and she better get used to it.
That memory is forever engraved in her heart. With the stars as their witness, Luffy left his precious heart to her.
