Summary: Hancock writes Luffy a letter, telling him her feelings. May be a little OOC.
A/N: I came across this idea while I was in my journalism class. This time around I will be going AU and it also takes place in the future just after Luffy became the Pirate King.
Some words not pertaining to the lyrics may be in bold italics, so be careful when reading.

How does it feel being in these arms?
What's it really like to be loved?
I've been alone now, how long?
Have you ever loved the way that I have?
A young woman sits at the very middle of her bed in deep thought. She looks down at a blank piece of stationery with her face obviously flushed and briefly writes down a few characters to begin. She felt that it was finally time to spill out all her utter affection into this letter.
Dear Luffy,
I really hope that you haven't forgotten are agreement. Remember. Just before you left you left, you painted your Jolly Roger over my Tenryuubito mark and specifically told me to anticipate your return.
And I have often wondered who
Who could love you the way I do?
Even I myself couldn't understand the feelings I had stowed away for you, as you were the only human man that I could bring myself to respect in my entire lifetime and I believed it was just that but we were able to bond, which was most important. You made my life so much easier that I could finally be at peace with myself. I hated myself for even allowing myself to be enslaved by those horrible Tenryuubito, but then you came and made me realize that I don't have to live my life around a lie…and for that I am truly in your debt.
Now, I just want you to know
How I'm touch deep in my soul
Just being with you
And I need you more each day
Baby, if you're still awake
Call me when you get this
You may have not noticed it before, but it seems that I am smitten…no, in love with you. Since you've been gone on your various adventures, my infatuation for you has apparently increased exponentially. What I am saying is that I really like you and I feel myself longing for your return each day, however your promise of your return has been enough to sate the pain in my heart.
I've got all this poetry now I didn't know then
I kept it inside, ooo
Guess I had never seen anything beautiful
Till I first saw you asleep at night
Remember our trip to Impel Down? Luffy, also during that time I couldn't seem to pry my mind off of you and contain my flourishing red face all that time we spent together in that cramped room. I would find myself daydreaming about you but I hope to make those fantasies realistic. I would often cast glances at you when I knew that you were focusing on a completely different subject. It was only once when I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, looking over at you-that I was able to see your beauty for what it truly was; you bore a calm demeanor….that of which I never could.
And I have often wondered who
Who could love you the way I do?
I am quite curious of your relationship with, Nami. Is she just your nakama, or are you two seeing each other? I would have to be honest. When I first made my acquaintance with her, I had no choice but to immediately mark her as a rival. She is younger than me but I am a more mature beauty and I have so much I would like to teach you….that is, if you would have me.
I just wanted to know what it was like
What's it really like to be loved?
These little volcanoes came as a surprise to me
Oh, I never thought I could be this way
Never have I known a man as noble as you. All the time I've been with you, I couldn't possibly compare you with another man. You are unique. You are the only man I could see myself with. Some would perhaps come up with a reason such as our age difference as a way to deny that we could ever be. Well that matters not! Age is but a number.
Oh, oh, and I have been cautious
And I've tried to keep to myself
Who could love you the way I do?
I need not try to bother you about my feeling before as you held a great deal of worry on your mind and I could not bring myself to stress you out over something so irrelevant. I relentlessly forced myself to cover up my crushing emotions and Luffy that is why I could not bring myself to look you in the eyes, for I would die before I would ever let you witness my weakness and undying need for you. I admire you.
Ooo, now I just want you to know
How I'm touched deep in my soul
Just being with you
So much more each day
Baby, if you're still awake
Call me when you get this
Well what do I know, my love? I have once been deprived of my freedom and I have lost touch with the very reason I became a pirate. I have been thinking long and hard, and I have decided that I would like to gain my sense of freedom and leave with you. I want to be your support, your lover, and your queen. I want to accompany you to the New World not only as your significant other, but as your nakama. If you would accept me then you can reach me on my den den mushi. I will be waiting until then.
Yours truly,
With Much Love,
Boa Hancock XOXOXOXOXOXOX
(Just want you to know)
(Touched deep in my soul)
I am touched deep in my soul
(Being with you)
And I need you
(Need you more each day)
If you're still awake
Call me when you get this
Hancock rolls up the rather decorated piece of parchment and wraps a red ribbon around it to keep it concealed. She then places it in the beak of the giant eagle.
"Fly this to Luffy. This is of complete urgency, so do not lose it." The bird flies off it's perch and out the window and Hebihime takes out her den den mushi waiting for her last chance of freedom.
After forty days and forty nights, the den den mushi sounds with a series of gurgles and Hancock reaches for it immediately and answers. A hefty voice on the other side finally speaks.
"Full speed ahead to the New World, Pirate Queen Boa Hancock. I will be there faster than Admiral Kizaru and then we can finally set sail together as nakama, but you will be my most special nakama!"
Tears of joy stream down her soft cheeks and she sobs, "Then I shall wait as long as it takes."
She grasps at her heart but instead of pain, it felt more like warm pulses as it beats uncontrollably for Luffy's long awaited and finally requited love. Luffy had indeed grown stronger from yesterday's rookie group known as 'The Eleven Supernovas' to the ultimate ruler of the sea and with Boa Hancock as his new most special nakama, they will soon be a force to be reckoned with. A force full of wealth, fame, and much power in the New World.

A/N: I thought the concept of Boa writing Luffy a letter about her feelings was a nice idea with the song. The song used for this one is called 'Call Me When You Get This'. It should be pretty good for the first try at veering towards AU.
I couldn't update soon because I was too busy studying for my final exams._
