Miles Away

by reckless waifu

ZoNa/SanNa. Nami is an ambitious student who is going to Japan for a year, leaving behind her best friend Sanji. In Japan she meets Robin, the head of the library, who helps her settle. One day, Nami bumps into a green haired man and ever since she's been intrigued by him. As she grows fonder of him, she realizes that he's always miles away from her, even if she's right next to him

1. Chapter 1

okay, first things first: this will be mostly Zoro x Nami, but there WILL be Sanji x Nami. I don't know how and with which pairing I will let this end, but you can expect both pairings, but with the main focus on ZoNa, because that's my otp. Hence it's labeled as such. Since this is set in our real world I had to come up with a reason for Nami's appearance and name. Scottish people are often ginger, so hence the scottish dad, but she has a Japanese mother, so that explains the name. And she's in America because that seemed logical to me if both parents were into business. End of explanation, please enjoy.

Dear Diary,

My room looks so empty, that I am beginning to feel slightly uneasy. Most of my things have been packed into boxes and have already been sent of to Japan. Even though I'm really looking forward to staying there at KanazawaUniversity, I feel slightly uneasy leaving behind all my friends and having to start from scratch over there. I know that Sanji is going to miss me most and will be sending me messages every other day, but I'm glad I'll be able to get away from him a little bit. Ever since he confessed to me everything has been really awkward in our house and all of our friends are practically waiting for me and Sanji to become a couple already. But I simply don't see him as more than a friend – my best friend – and I don't want to lose the friendship we have, so going to Japan is probably the best for both our sakes.

On a completely different note: Chopper has been in quarantine for a month now and even though I've been visiting a lot, I'm glad that I'll be seeing him again in a few days. I really can't believe that I'm leaving in three days! It seems like yesterday that I got the admittance letter from KanazawaUniversity; time flew by so fast. On Monday morning I'll be leaving the U.S. for the first time in my life! I can't believe it! I mean, even though my dad's Scottish and my mom Asian (God bless their soul) I never left the country. I miss them. I wish they would have been able to see me graduate and go to university and now go on my first real journey. It's been eight years now since the car accident, but there's still no day that I don't think of them. I wish they were here.

Nami.
