A/N : Hello ladies, gentlemen, however you consider yourself really, have to include Anonydeath here. What you opened just now is my first fanfic ever, so thank you very much for giving me a chance. I've been reading fics for years on this site, so I've been wanting to give back a little for a while. And the Neptunia games were able to unlock something in me to start writing.
This here is a Uni x Gear fic, because I shipped them way before I even considered Nep x Noire. And they don't even have one multi-chaptered yuri fanfic with their love story as main subject! Therefore, here's my attempt at it.
Before proceeding with the story, I just wanna mention that I played the computer games, so the Rebirth series, and am currently playing VII. Thus, I only have those games as references. And all the physical settings of this story are based on the anime (we won't talk about its quality, but it did give a good picture of what the environment the goddesses live in looks like).
Lastly, English isn't my first language, French is, so if there are any recurring errors, please PM me or say so in a review, since I also want to improve my second language. Thank you!
Disclaimer : I do not own the Neptunia Series!
And without further ado, on with the story!
Chapter 1 : Awakening
Nepgear was fiddling with the new but oh so meaningful ring on her left hand. If the purple-haired newlywed had to name one single thing that would forever be engraved in her mind, she would answer without hesitation the stunning sight of Uni in her magnificent wedding dress. A truly beautiful dress, the same shade of crimson as the bride's eyes, with subtle black highlights here and there.
The memory of the proposal brought a smile to her lips ; she had been a nervous wreck all day. But when she had finally felt that the time was right, she had changed in her HDD form, put her right knee on the ground and offered the purple and black ring she had made to the love of her life. She had then gathered her courage and said "Uni, will you marry me?" to the one woman whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. And the lastationite candidate, ignoring her tsundere nature for this special moment, had jumped in Purple Sister's arms, repeating and repeating "Yes!" in between numerous kisses and tears.
The ceremony had taken place a few months later, with Black Heart proudly walking Uni down the aisle, and Purple Heart doing the same for Nepgear. Both CPUs were overcome by strong emotions the moment they left their little sisters in front of the altar, shedding a few tears when they officially entrusted them to their own beloved. Histoire had been the one chosen to preside their wedding, and when she had asked the famous question, Nepgear had answered "Yes, I do." while looking in Uni's eyes, vowing that she would love her eternally and truly meaning it, as eternity was almost a certainty for them. Uni had done the same afterwards and they had shared the kiss sealing their union, with everyone clapping and cheering.
Ever since the grand event, they had been alternating between residing in Lastation and Planeptune. This very morning, they were at the later, and Nepgear was happily making breakfast for her wife.
Uni was exhausted again, due to her workload for Lastation, so her lover wanted to spoil her a bit. She had decided to cook her some eggs with bacon, ham and sliced potatoes. A complete breakfast to give her hard-working wife the energy she needed to make it through the day!
Smiling and humming, even dancing a little, Nepgear went through her preparations for the meal she was cooking. When she was finished and only baking was left, she went back in the dining room to make sure Uni wasn't working again. And as she had predicted, Lastation's CPU candidate was obviously reading some report on her N-Gear.
She silently approached her love and hugged her from behind. The purple-haired girl then took the intelligent device away with a pout.
"Uni, dear, I told you not to worry about your nation only for this morning."
"Ah, sorry Nepgear, it's just that this report..."
"Huh-huh, I'm having none of this. You are in Planeptune right now, so no Lastation, and this is final."
"B-But onee-chan asked me..."
"If you really want to work so badly, maybe I could find you something more interesting to work on..."
And as she said that, Nepgear started tracing kisses down Uni's neck and roaming her hands around her mid-body.
The tsundere-in-training shuddered, definitely enjoying the caresses, but she still tried to take the N-Gear back. Viewing this as a challenge, Nepgear decided to nibble on Uni's jawline, one of the black-haired girl's weak spot, leaving gentle marks there while saying sweet nothings to her love. The captive tsundere whimpered, quickly KO'ed by her lover's touch, and when asked for a kiss, she turned her head to gladly grant the request.
The planeptunian girl urgently pressed her lips to Uni's, moaning in the process. She then turned the chair around, grabbed her by the hips and lifted her up to sit her on the table. The lastationite CPU candidate took advantage of the situation to clasp her legs and arms around her beloved, starting to grind into her love at the same time. Wanting to deepen the kiss, Uni opened her mouth for Nepgear to explore. The later jumped on the occasion and slid her tongue in her lover's mou...
"Ahnnn~, take me Nepgear!" Neptune moaned in her sister's ear in her best imitation of Uni's voice.
Nepgear swiftly opened her eyes and came back to reality, realizing that she wasn't having a hot making out session with her crush on the table of the dining room, but was actually making breakfast for her and her big sis. Said big sis was now standing a few feet away from her, with her best innocent look plastered on her face.
"O-Onee-chan, what are you doing here!?"
"You see Nep Jr., I understand that you're a teenage girl who has desires and all that, I was the same before dating Noire. She was a really sexy girl who didn't know how to properly dress up, so my eyes often had a beautiful view of those supple thighs, but I took care of those needs in, you know, my own room, and you should do the sa..."
"ONEE-CHAN! LA LA LA, I'M NOT HEARING YOU, LA LA LA."
"Nep Jr., your eggs are burning!"
"What! Eh, no, they're not..."
"See, you're hearing me. So, as I was saying..."
"I-I-I don't know where you got that idea from, but I don't have any n-needs or d-desires or anything in the like that needs to be t-taken care of..."
"Relax Nep Jr., I'm just kidding. Knowing you, you were probably just fantasizing about marrying Uni and making her breakfast or something like that since you're the perfect housewife, a little too obsessed with robots housewife, but still the perfect housewife. You're so old style, but meh, it fits you pretty well."
"W-Who said anything about Uni?"
"Don't try to deny it, oh little sister of mine. Our whole Basilicom, every Planeptune citizen, the entire world, even the reader knows that you're head-over-heels for Lastation's second tsundere in command. The only person who doesn't know is Noire Jr. herself. And all those NPCs also know that your feelings are returned, the only person who doesn't know is, again, Noire Jr. Soooo, you should just go and whoooho, sweep her off her feet! Just like little ol' me here did with my sweet little tsunNoire."
"I… I… T-This is not the time to talk about something like that! I-I'm still cooking, so I'll need you to go and... and wait in the dining room while I finish up here onee-chan!"
"Alright alright. You're so fun to tease Nep Jr., your reactions are the best! Well, after Noire's, 'cause y'know, she's a full-fledged and sexy tsundere."
"Just go away already!"
And off Neptune went, with one last suggesting move of her eyebrows. Nepgear sighed. So it was that obvious that she loved Uni huh. She had thought she was doing a good job at hiding it. But then again, it wasn't really in the planeptunian goddesses' genes to be subtle about how they felt. Sighing a second time, she went back to cooking breakfast.
It's been months now since Nepgear realized that her feelings for the CPU candidate of Lastation weren't only friendly. It had started with small observations like how pretty the other girl was, how comfortable she looked, how her smile made her melt inside, etc. But it had evolved in more and more lovesick thoughts and fantasies, the best example being the daydream she just had. She was now so desperate, the purple-haired goddess so badly wanted to hold Uni in her arms and cuddle with her, she wanted her first kiss to be with the tsundere and all the following ones too, she wanted to go on dates with her and tell her black-haired love all the cheesiest lines she knew to see her cute embarassed expression, and so much more. She really, deeply wanted to be her girlfriend, to cherish her with all she had to offer.
And she was aware that the other CPU candidate wasn't completely unphased by her charms either. Nepgear had caught the black-haired girl checking her out many times when she showed off more skin "by accident". She also was highly receptive to the purple-haired girl's flirting : even though she denied everything on the spot, a shy but bright smile always appeared on the tsundere's lips when she thought Planeptune's CPU candidate wasn't looking her way. Moreover, Uni had the habit of short-circuiting every time they had a physical contact together, turning into a stuttering and blushing mess. Nepgear still remembered that one time she had caught the unsuspecting girl resting peacefully and thought a little bit of cuddling with her wouldn't be so bad… She did that all the time with her sister... But she had been so wrong : Uni had literally jumped like a frightened cat out of her bed when she woke up in Nepgear's arms and hit her head on a shelf, knocking herself unconscious.
The planeptunian girl still believed that she had her chances with the lastationite girl though. The tsundere-in-training had softened and opened herself to her a lot in the last few years. They had a special bond, and Nepgear knew she was important for Uni even if the girl would never admit it. They were best friends after all, and hopefully they could become more, if only the black-haired girl could be a little bit more honest about how she truly felt. Unfortunately, if she wasn't currently denying her own feelings, she most probably was rejecting with all her being the possibility of Nepgear loving her.
All this thinking made the purple-haired CPU candidate come to the conclusion that she needed guidance on how to make Uni understand that she loved her, without the girl just brushing it off as Nepgear's affectionnate nature, and on how to properly introduce the subject without scaring her away. The other girl's tsundere nature was the only obstacle to their blooming relationship. And she did know someone who went through something similar with another tsundere just a few months ago. Having made up her mind, Nepgear went to meet up with her sister in the dining room, carrying their finished breakfast.
"O-Onee-chan, you were right about Uni! I-I'm in love with her, and I would like to have your help regarding that matter!"
"N-Nepu! What happened to you, Nep Jr.? You were all blushing and stuttering a few minutes ago, did my teasing break you? You still okay in there?"
"Yes, I-I'm alright, it's just that the way you brought up this subject made me think really hard about it, and I came to a realization. I love Uni, and... and I'm pretty sure she loves me too! So this situation can't go on any longer, something needs to be done."
"Well, what do you need my help for? Y'know, I'm not really good at those sisterly advice thingies. And what will I do when you go off with Uni? I need someone to back me up on work here, and I can't survive without your cooking, I will starve to death! I'm already dying just thinking about it, help me Nep Jr., argh, all that future work is trying to choke me!"
"S-Stop it onee-chan! I won't leave with Uni! Well, not so soon anyways he he, not that I'm against that idea. Living with Uni, in our own small house, being lovey-dovey all day, maybe have a few children… "
"Aaaaand, she's gone. Yo, Nep Jr., you still there? How many steps are you skipping? You know, you need to get Uni to be your girlfriend before any of that happens. (Wow, she's really a full-fledged housewife, it's impressive.) But, you're a goddess, remember? You can't just leave with Uni like that. You need to do my wo… hum-hum, help me with my work, it's your duty as Planeptune's CPU candidate!"
"Oh, but why can't I? That would be so niiiiiice…"
"Okay, get back with me Nep Jr., you're gonna end up like Uzume if you keep doing that, and I don't think that's what you want."
"Heh!? N-No, I don't! Hum-hum, a-as I was saying… before… I would like your help, more exactly on how to approach Uni about my feelings without scaring her away. You had lots of troubles with Noire, didn't you onee-chan?"
"Lots of troubles? That's an understatement, young padawan. It was like getting some really rare item in a game that can be obtained only when all the planets are aligned on September 24th and there's a full moon and a lunar eclipse at the same time. And you needed to have beaten a bunch of level 100 bosses when you were still only level 1, and maxed your lily rank with the character who gives you the item before the end of Chapter 1 when they're not even in your party yet. Buuuut, it somehow worked out."
"Awww, was it really that difficult?"
"Okay, you can take out the lunar eclipse, that was a bit too much. But look, you have right here the most skilled tsundere breaker known as me to help you out! And Uni is like, a Chapter boss, while Noire is the game's final boss, so you'll be fine, don't worry it's going to be a-okay."
"W-Well then, what do you think I should do?"
"Um, how about I recount my adventures with Noire? I already said I'm not really good at advices thingies, but I'm good at telling stories! How about that?"
"Well, I guess I don't have much the choice, do I?"
"No, you don't! That's my little sis, you're so intelligent, just like your big sis!"
A/N : Well, this was longer than I expected, what I had planned for chapter one have to be split in three parts, since I wanted a shorter chapter for the first one, kind of like an intro. So next chapter, it will be Neptune's flashbacks, and after that one, we'll have some of Uni's side. Thank you very much for reading, I hope it was to your liking, and feel free to leave a review!
