This one is going to be the best chapter yet, hopefully! Anyway enjoy, and one last thing…I based Nami's nice personality off the way she is after marriage.
Chapter 3 – Nami, nice?
"You what?" snapped Nami, appalled by this out burst of his.
"But I… do and always have, it's like the more you insult me the more I care for you." Replied Claude, he hopes she feels the same.
"If I could stand up I'd cripple you for saying it" said Nami.
Claude is drained of all emotions, he stares at her not knowing what to say. He has this strong feeling to hurt her back, Hardy and Rock enter the house. Hardy examines her.
"Interesting, you see it's tiredness, because of your 'active life' style and you are awake all hours this is the result. You are lucky Claude found you" said Hardy.
"And saved you!" added Rock.
"Shut up Rock! I can take care of myself!" snaps Nami

Summer 2
Claude pats Yuki's head, she moos happily. She nuzzles her nose on Claude's arm.
"You're a good girl, all girls should be as nice as you" said Claude, as Nami walks past the farm. She doesn't look at him, Claude pats Yuki's head again. "Especially Nami, she needs to learn to be nice to people once in a while."
He notices a young girl walking towards him, she has short mousey coloured hair.
"Hi Claude! Are you talking to your cow? It's ok I'm not going to make fun of you"
"Lumina, I wondered when you where going to visit" lied Claude. He hadn't even thought about her at all. "So what brings you this way?" he leans on the fence.
"I wanted to see the farm, are you talking to your cow? I'd like to talk to her, is it fun?" said Lumina excitedly.
"Yes ok, her name is Yuki. I have some work to do so I'll leave you to it."
Lumina climbs over the fence, and starts talking about Tanya and Eliza her two cats. Claude walks away rolling his eyes, he finds it hard to believe she's 18 years old. He takes a walk towards Vesta's Farm, it's about time he bought some fertiliser to grow some grass. Claude is tired of carrying the fodder to Yuki, this way she can munch on the grass.
He is greeted by Celia, the girl who works there.
"10 bags of fertilizer please" said Claude.
"Ok, are you going to enter the crop contest?" said Celia.
"Excuse me? I don't grow many crops only enough to feed myself" said Claude.
As he walks through the valley, he just can't understand why he's so snappy to everyone. He sits down near the spring and pulls his diary out of his rucksack and begins to write.

Dear Diary,
This morning was hard for me, Nami is acting like nothing happened, I can't stop getting annoyed with people. The only living thing I can be nice to is Yuki and she's a cow. Apart of me wants Nami to be nice to me, but then again I treat people the same way Nami does. She needs help, so do I, if she accepts it or not I'll try and talk to her.
Claude

He puts his diary away, on the other side of the spring is Nami sat there looking at him. He stands up, walks around the spring and sits next to her.
"Hey Nami" said Claude, trying to keep things short.
"Claude, for some reason I feel like I can trust you" said Nami, sound sweet and not very Nami-like. "I have a secret and I want you to know it. I was 20 and was staying in a Inn in a little village, and I met this guy. I wasn't as bitter as I was then. He was so confident, and cool. Rock reminds me of him a little, me and this guy started dating and if found out he was cheating on me. Since that day I haven't trusted men, but I feel different around you."
"Wow that guy did that to you? That's mean, when did this happen?" said Claude.
"Well the season was spring, that's why I hate it so much." Said Nami, she rests her head on his shoulder. "But you're different from most guys around you I feel I can be myself."
Claude doesn't know whether to put his arm around her or not, if she doesn't want him to she'll just punch him. He decides to risk it, she doesn't punch him she just stands up.
"Good bye Claude, I can't not yet" said Nami, she walks off not looking back.
He sits there feeling depressed, he places his face in his hands. He wants to cry, but then someone sits next to him. He moves his hands, Nami came back.
"Claude, I know you're not dating anyone so… this is kind of hard for me but do you want to go on a few dates together. Just see how it goes" said Nami.
"Yes of course! Why would I turn you down?" said Claude.
The two of them walk towards the farm, Claude wants to hold her hand but realises he'll be trying to push his luck. Lumina is still talking to Yuki, and Celia's waiting for him.
"Ah Claude there you are! You forgot the fertilizer" said Celia.
He takes it, pays her and she leaves. Lumina leaves to, Nami smiles at Claude.
"What was that for?" said Claude.
"I wanted to, I don't know how you do it you manage to be nice to people" said Nami.
"Me neither" said Claude.
