This is my first in-detail fanfiction, anyway it's about Nami and the farm guy. In this story he is named Claude.
Welcome Back To This Life
Chapter 1 – Love at first insult
Spring 1
Claude leans against the fence looking at his farm, Yuki the cow wanders around the pasture without a care in the world. Claude's lost in thought, dreams of what future he may have on his father's old farm, now named Freedom Farm.
'Maybe I should explore the Valley' thought Claude.
As he walks towards the waterfall his thoughts elsewhere a voice brings him back to earth.
"Oi idiot watch where your going can't you see I'm walking here"
He looks at this person it's a woman with short red hair, she doesn't look too amused.
"I'm sorry I was just thinking about stuff" said Claude.
"Well if you did less thinking and more looking I wouldn't have to put up with you" she snaps. She looks away "do you have a name?"
"Claude, I just took over ownership of Freedom Farm" replied Claude, feeling proud of himself.
"Get off your high horse dork! Well I'm Nami, I don't do all that girl junk and I hate people who try and bug me." Replied Nami, with that she heads off.
Claude watches her until she's out of his eyesight. He carries on with his walk, the blossom on the trees is light pink, as he walks under the branches the blossom falls like pink rain. He brushes them out of his chestnut brown hair with his fingers. A man with blonde hair approaches him.
"What's up Claude? Dude I saw you talking to Nami back there, what did she do to you?" said the man
"Hey Rock, nothing she was a little mean but no harm done" said Claude.
"Your lucky man, she is so mean to everyone" Replied Rock, he heads off towards the spring.
Claude returns to his farm, with a smile on his face. The farm really does live up to it's name. Freedom by name, Yuki is free to wander the pasture in peace, he is free to wander the valley when ever he feels like it.
"Claude, can I have a word?" said Takakura, the man who also owned the farm.
"Yes of course" replied Claude.
"You see it was your father's dream to have a family farm, so it may be none of my business but I suggest you find a wife quickly." Said Takakura, hoping Claude wouldn't hit him for suggesting it.
"Ok I will do" said Claude. He heads of towards the river hoping Takakura won't follow him to press the matter.
He looks at the river, blossom floating on the surface. The birds are chirping from the trees. This truly is a better place than his former home in the city. Claude looks up and the same red head who shouted at him this morning is sat on a bench not far from him, also looking into the river. He walks over to her, she doesn't notice him.
"Hello Nami, how are you?" said Claude. Hoping she won't snap again.
"I'd feel a lot better if you weren't bugging me!" snaps Nami.
He hurries just to make sure she doesn't punch him. He stops near The Inner Inn, the first place Takakura showed him when he first moved in. Rock walks towards Claude.
"I'd give up with Nami if I was you, dude. Do you like her or something?" said Rock.
"No way" Claude snaps, he realises he just sounded exactly like Nami.
"Look I'm not going to make fun of you, I'm interested in someone I can't be with. I know how it feels" said Rock, sympathetically. "I'll help you tame the monster, so to speak."
"All right then tell me then" said Claude, he doesn't really want to know but he listens anyway.
"Well she likes, old stuff, home cooking and Autumn flowers." Said Rock, sound like he was reading out a essay.
"Thanks mate!" said Claude, as he walks away he rolls his eyes.
He heads home, all that walking tired him out a little. He does all the farm work, it took him a while to get Yuki to go back in the barn. Then he sits down on his bed and opens his diary and begins to write.
Dear diary,
Today was great, I enjoyed all the farm work. I also met a really pretty girl, her name is Nami. She's a little snappy and enjoys to walk around the valley, kind of like me a bit. Well I hope tomorrow's weather is as nice as today! This guy how lives at the Inn named Rock guessed that I like Nami, but I didn't tell him that I do like her.
Claude
Claude puts his diary away and goes to bed.

Spring 2
"Morning Yuki!" said Claude, he pats Yuki's head.
Yuki moos at the sight of her master, she stands still and lets him milk her. Claude pats her head again.
"Such a good girl" said Claude.
He leaves her inside the barn today, the main reason is it's pouring it down outside. Taking Rock's advice, he cooks something for Nami and goes to visit her.
"What do you want now? Come to bug me again?" Nami snaps.
"No actually I cooked something and actually wanted your opinion!" Claude snaps, talking to her the same way she speaks to him seams to work.
He hands her a plate of sashimi, she takes a bite.
"Wow this is… wow!" said Nami, lost for words. "It's delicious it really is."
"Really?" said Claude, shocked by the nicest thing Nami's ever said to him.
She talks to him for a little while, without being as snappy. He leaves with a smile on his face, still shocked by Nami being nice to him.
Because of the rain he heads to the archaeological digsite, to collect some old things. Maybe that should impress Nami a little. He finds quite a bit before heading home, to take care of Yuki and check on his crops.
He reaches the farm and sees a familiar red head stood by his house, he walks towards her.
To be continued…
