It was a quiet drive for the both of them Luffy was looking at the road as Nami was looking out the window was everything passing by. You might be wondering why there was so much tension in the air. Well truth was that Nami was heading back home to her family. See Luffy and Nami was in a relationship but it was an online relationship. They met each other 3 years ago, Luffy friended Nami and since then became close. After 5 months they decided to date. In those 3 years they knew each other inside and out. They messaged each other everyday and talked over the phone everynight, even going as far as to go to sleep on the phone. Least till the phone died. It was about the second year that they saw each other through webcam and since they wanted nothing more then to do that everyday. They were both in school and both was looking to make their dreams become reality but that was the farest thing in their mind when they talked to each other. Nami truly loved Luffy and she wanted nothing more then to meet him in person and spend time with him, to feel him, to breath his scent and most of all. To kiss the living hell outta of him. So when summer break was drawing near Nami made plans to go vist Luffy during the summer. Nami's mom agreed to this as long as Luffy took great care of her in which he promised on his very life. Summer break began and Nami was on her flight to go see him. Upon arriving she then had to catch a train to get where he was. After 5 stops she got off the train and there he was. And it was everything she hopped for and more and without missing a beat, she ran towards him and jumped in his arms as the both shared a warm embrace of meeting for the first time. Since Nami been here she knew alot more bout Luffy and his family and even got to meet his brothers. They were very nice to her and welcome her to their home. They shared meals, stories and hung out but before and after she would always have time for her boyfriend. The first night did scared Nami but it wasn't cause she was worried he do something, it was more so of the fact that he decided to sleep on his floor then in the bed with her. At first she thought maybe he didn't want to move that fast by sleeping in bed together but then Nami remember that this was Luffy, the guy does everything too fast for his own good and honestly she was no different. So the second night when he was going for the floor, she grabbed and pull him into bed with her and told him simply to keep her warm. For the rest of the time she was there, they shared a bed and slept in each others arms.
They had their first kiss, their first movie together, their first fight when they were comparing who was better between Sonic and Mario. They even had their first time making love together. It was scary for them both but they didn't regret a thing from it. She wished she could stay forever. But summer vacation was over and she had to get back home. It tore at her heart, she never spoke up on how she felt on the matter and nether has he. She figure it be best not to talk about it seeing that it would only hurt more. Hell it was painful saying goodbye to Ace and Sabo. She had to hold back her tears when they told her that she was family and if she ever needed anything to let them know. She also remember them telling her to take good care of their trouble making brother of theirs. It goes without saying she will always take care and watch out for him. She loves him after all. She stared at the train station and couldn't help but feel her heart begining to sink.
They both stood there waiting for her train. Nether again said much to the other. Nami turn to speak but Luffy beat her to it. "When you can let me know when you get on your flight, that way i know you got there safe and sound okay" Luffy looked over at her with a small smile. Nami could tell by looking at his face, it was indeed hurting him as well. She gave a small nod. "You do the same..i wanna know you get home okay, don't go try to buy any meat along the way got it ?" She said in hopes to lighten the mood, it worked as Luffy chuckled and nodded his head. " Yes ma'm." "The 6 Express train to the Grandline air port is coming shortly, please step back as the train arrives!" They heard it loud and clear and both looked in each other eyes. Nether had to say anything. They both knew what was gonna happen next. They both walked up and hugged each other tightly. Nami buried her face in Luffy's chest as he lay his chin on top of her head. They then pulled back and shared a short but passionate kiss as the train pulled up. When they both pulled away they gave each other the biggest smile they could muster. Nami grabbed her bag and as the doors open went onboard the train. She turn to Luffy as the door closed. It felt cruel to Nami, it was as if it was keeping them from the other. Nami wanted to turn away, to not look at him and feel even more sad then she was already feeling. But just when her dummy of boyfriend couldn't make her even sadder. He placed his hand on the window of the door. Nami quickly did the same and maybe it was on her mind but she felt his hand again at that moment and as fast as the feeling came, it was gone as the train pulled off.
When the train left Luffy stared at the train leaving in the distance and just kept watching and watching before it was gone from his vision. It was then that it came crashing down on him that she was gone and that she wasn't here next to him. As soon as the realization hit him, he started tearing up. Like Nami, he was hurting and he was doing his best to not let it show but at this moment he couldn't do so, it was hurting him. More so then he pictured. He placed his hand on his chest, the hand he placed on the door before the train left, clutched his shirt where his chest was. It was hurting, the pain, the feeling of emptiness. Luffy had no idea, he had no idea that watching your love one leaving back home, would hurt so much. This what it was like being in a long distance relationship.
As Luffy pulled up to his house he got a text on his phone. It was Nami letting him know she got to the airport. Luffy smiled a little, his eyes was puffy red from crying but manage to send her back a reply. After that Luffy looked through his pictured they tooken when she was here and then there was one that he loved the most out of all of them. They were standing by a theme park they was at and the kissed while taking the picture. unbeknownst to him thou Nami too was looking at that same picture. She too loved the picture and held it close to her heart. She too was crying, some passed by her wondering if she were alright. Nami was thinking alot on the ride here and she had one thought in her mind, could she do this..could this relationship with them work out, with the distance and the toll it will have on them. Nami ponder this till she got a video message from Luffy, she raised a brow and decided to play it. Luffy was still in his car and thankfully he wans't driving. "Nami, thank you for the coolest summer of my life, thank you for giving me your first in almost everything. And most of all. Thank you for being my girlfriend. Can't wait to see you again. Love you!" He ended it with a toothy smile. As she was listening fresh tears started to pour from her eyes, she hung her head down as her hands tremble. She barely heard that her flight was coming up. Nami couldn't help but ponder something else. What kinda reply would Luffy give her after such a heart felt one like that ?
Luffy lay his head back and breath a sigh of relief, as if he felt lighter now. He heard a ringing and it was a video call from Nami. Luffy was a bit surprised but answered it anyway. "Nami ?" Luffy asked as he saw Nami with her bangs covering her eyes. She took a deep breath and as loud as she could. "Thank you too Luffy! Thank you for taking me into your home, giving me almost all of your first times and being the most caring, loving and most goofiest boyfriend a girl can ask for! I love you with all my heart!" She stood up and points at her phone showing a shocked Luffy. "This guy right here is mine! This is my man!" Nami took a breath before looking at Luffy through her phone with her puffy eyes but a determine smile. "If you think this is the last you see of me, your wrong buddy boy. I'll be back for you again, so you better watch out!" She kissed the screen before closing the chat. She covered her red face but was smiling like an idiot as she hurry to board her flight. Luffy stared at the screen for 5 whole minutes still taking in what he just saw and heard. He then covered his eyes with his arm before he too was grinning like a fool. "Not if i come see you first Nami!" Luffy said with a happy tone in his voice. Yes, it was so worth it, as long as they were able to see each other, then what is a few hours apart to them right ?
