What did I do to deserve this?
Chapter 1: New beginnings
A/N: Hey there all~ As you can see, I'm re-writing this story because of all the damn mistakes in here bothering me till this day. It's been a few years since I started this, now I wanna try and end it. As if I'm fighting someone I've been fighting for years and just had enough of it lol.
Hope you enjoy it, I own nothing and will never own anything from what I can tell. Honestly though, I did draw the cover lol... does that count as something?
Fate's POV
Nervous.
... That's how I'm feeling right now, at this very moment. I'm very nervous right now. I mean who wouldn't be nervous? Facing the person they really love and care for... It's a natural thing to feel. especially when the said person invites you out alone to have a little, 'talk.'
"Fate-chan..."I look up to stare at the brunette I helplessly fell for ever since we were young. She was staring at me seriously as we sit comfortably on a park bench.
"Nanoha-chan?"I was confused, what did she want to talk about? And why alone? Unless... Is this a... confession?
It can't be, right? I mean, Nanoha's straight from what I can tell. She's into men, not girls... Then again, we're in highschool now. Maybe her preferences changed? Anyways, I noticed she motions for me to come closer and so I did. I scootched a little closer to her, still staring at her face in confusion. "What's wrong Nanoha-chan?"
"I just wanted to come clean..."Nanoha states, looking another direction. Her cheeks were slightly growing red from what I can see. "I-I..." She started, going shy on me. My heart was racing, she was just so cute like that.
"You?"I push my red glasses up a bit, smiling at her wearily. I don't know what she's gonna tell me but for some reason I feel like it's something I'll really hate.
"I-I'm..."Nanoha began fiddling with her fingers, her eyes averted. She doesn't wanna look me in the eyes from what I observed from the moment.
"Take your time Nanoha-chan."I smile, trying to make her calm down a bit so she can actually speak out what she wants to tell me. "Honestly, If you're still not comfortable talking to me about whatever it is you wanted to talk about, I don't mind waiti-"
"Fate-chan, I'm dating Yunno!"Nanoha shouts out all of a sudden, she realized how loud she was about it and blushed brightly in embarrassment. "I-I'm dating Yunno-kun..."She says in a softer tone.
"Eh...?"Wait, no... This can't be. She can date anyone else in the world, I'll be okay with anyone else! Just not him! Not rat boy... I felt myself getting a bit emotional as my voice began to waver a bit as I spoke. "W-Why... Why are y-you telling me...?"I asked her silently, I don't know what type of expression I'm making right now while facing her. I just hope it's nothing too bad...
"Because, y-you're my best friend. I haven't told anyone else about my relationship with Yunno-kun yet, I wanted you to be the first to know."Nanoha smiles at me, her smile a bit awkward.
"Hayate's also a best friend of yours... Why didn't you just tell her first instead of me.."Okay that sounded a bit harsh coming out, I didn't intend for it to come out like that though.
"Hayate-chan?.."Nanoha's brows furrow a bit as she stared at me, she then looked a bit disappointed. "A-Are you not happy for me..? I-I thought you'd be supportive of this choice of mines..?"She was confused now. I knew it sounded harsh, geez...
"I..."I really wanted to tell her how I hated her choice and wanted her to date me instead but I stopped myself. I'm scared of what she'd think if she knew I was into girls, that and if she found out my other secret. "I am supportive, I'm just saying. Hayate-chan is a better conversationist when it comes to this type of thing..."I state seriously, averting my eyes to look somewhere else. I don't wanna look at her right now, in fear I'll start crying.
"O-Oh..."I heard her soft voice say. "I-I see... I guess y-you're right, you were never that good when it came to relationships."Her soft giggle was heard.
Ouch, that honestly hurt me Nanoha. You really think I'm no good when it comes to relationships? "Yea."I reply, I then look at my watch. "Well, it's getting late. I suggest going home?"I turn to her slowly, taking in every beauty I see on her.
"Oh yea."Nanoha nodded, slowly going back to her usual cheery self. "Do you want me to walk you ho-"
"No, I'll walk home by myself. Worry about yourself Nanoha-chan."I tell her seriously yet calmly, not wanting to come off harsh again. Nanoha nodded a bit, still in her cheerful state.
"See you tomorrow Fate-chan?" She smiled brightly at me, causing my heart to ache.
"Yup... Tomorrow."I smiled back, hiding a pained look behind my calm facade. I waved her goodbye as she began to walk away, going in the opposite direction of me. We live pretty far from each other. I watched her leave first before going off on my own to go home. I hate this... My heart was shattered enough for today, I need a nap or something...
No one's POV
Fate, on the outside, seemed calm and collected as she walked home. Holding her bag gracefully as she pushed her hair back a bit, out of her face. On the inside though, she was spacing off into the cosmos. Thinking about the recent confession. Groaning inwardly, in pain at the thought.
Without realizing anything, she bumps into someone. "A-Ah."Fate stumbled back a bit. She looked to whom she bumped into, ready to apologize to the person. "S-Sorry..."Fate says nervously, it was an older man. He didn't really respond to her, he just stabalizes himself and limps passed her slowly. Silence filling the air.
Fate's brow rose a bit as she watched him walk away, she shrugged it off and continues the walk home.
A few minutes passed and Fate was finally home. "I'm home."She called out. Chrono Harlaown, her 'older brother' walked down the stairs of the house, coming down with a book. He was gonna go read in the living room since that's his usual reading place.
"Ah, Welcome home Fate."Chrono greeted.
"Chrono-niichan."Fate greeted back politely. "Is Lindy-san home?" She asked curiously as the older boy nodded.
"Of course she's home, and remember, she doesn't like it when you call her that."Chrono pointed out. "She's in your room."
"Ah oka-"Fate back tracks a bit. "W-Wait, why is she in my room?"She was confused.
"She's usually in your room at this time, since you're mostly out with your friends during this time."Chrono shrugs, taking a seat on the couch to read his book. "You should go scare her."he suggested while opening the hard cover.
"U-Uhmm.. Okay."Fate nodded as she pulled her shoes off and walked up the stairs to go to her room. "Lindy-san."Fate called out, loud enough for Lindy to hear her. "I'm homeee."Her voice calm as she opens the door of her room.
As Chrono said, Lindy was there. There she was, on Fate's bed. The older woman wearing the blonde's uniform top, nothing else other than that. "F-Fate-chan!"Lindy stared in surprise as she pulled at the blanket on the bed to cover herself. "Y-You're home early~"She smiled nervously, blushing brightly.
"Yes."Fate nodded, smiling back kindly as she walks into her room and shuts the door behind her. She went to the bed and sat by her 'mother.'
"Fate-chan?"Lindy was confused. "You're not gonna blush and complain about the current situation?"She asked. Wondering what was wrong as she put her arms down and stared at her tall 'daughter.' "Is something wrong?"She asked.
"Lindy-san.."Fate drops her things on the ground before getting closer to Lindy and hugging her tightly. "N-Nanoha told me something I-I didn't wanna here..."She whimpered, nuzzling into the older woman. "S-She d-dating Scrya..."
"That ferret boy?"Lindy rubbed at the other's back softly. Feeling a bit sad for her youngest. "There there Fate-chan... There are other fishes in the sea."She pointed out.
"B-But I want Nanoha..."Fate says stubbornly, tears forming at her eyes. "I-I love Nanoha..."
"Fate-chan, you don't know if you love her."Lindy pets Fate's hair softly. "You're just at that age where you fall in love easily with the person you're most closest with."She says seriously, for the first time in forever she was showing a serious expression to the blonde. Usually she's playful and flirtatious but right now, it wasn't the time for that. "Love takes time, baby."She kissed Fate's head softly, pulling the younger girl's glasses off so they don't smudge from tears or brake by accident.
"R-Really...?"Fate looked up to stare her mother in the eyes. A hint of innocence in her eyes and tone.
"Really."Lindy nodded. "Trust me, You're still in your 2nd year of highschool. That's young!"She giggled. "You have a lot of time to waste before falling in love with that one true person you'd wanna be with forever."
"I-If you say so..."Fate moved back a bit and rubbed the tears off. "Sorry... I wet your shir- Well.. it's my shirt but I'm sorry used you as my tissue Lindy-san.."
"It's okay Fate-chan."Lindy smiled at her kindly. "I don't mind being used by you, use me as much as you want~"Lindy was back to being flirtatious.
"I-I will..."Fate nodded and hugged Lindy, pulling her down. "Can you sleep with me today..? I d-don't wanna be alone..." Honestly, Lindy didn't expect that answer but she couldn't help but smile widely at the other.
"Of course Fate-chan~ It'll be like when you were younger and had nightmares."The older woman couldn't wipe that smile off her face. "I miss this.."She wrapped her arms around Fate's body and hugged her tightly.
"A-Ah, wait..."Fate moved back and got off the bed. "I need to take a bath, I'm all sweaty from basketball practice."She pointed out.
"Want me to join you?~"Lindy giggled when she got a normal reaction out of Fate, watching the blonde blush brightly.
"N-No it's okay.. I-I'll b-be fast.."Fate smiled nervously as she went off to the bathroom with her sleepwear.
It became night and as said, Fate was fast with her bath. Coming back to the bed, wearing a black loose t-shirt with Hatsune Miku on it and a pair of Nyan-cat boxers.
"Aw, how cute Fate-chan~"Lindy purred in awe as she pats the space between here. "Come here Honey~"She smiled brightly.
Fate nodded and slips into the bed after shutting the lights off, laying comfortably by the older woman. "Lindy-san... What if I never find that one person..?"She asked all of a sudden.
"Don't worry Fate-chan, if no runner ups appear for you. I'll marry you~"Lindy lays by Fate and hugs her tightly. "Mommy loves you a lot~"She smooches Fate's cheek softly.
Fate blushed brightly again, "J-Jeez..." A few minutes of dark silence, the blonde was asleep and Lindy was stroking her head. As if she was a lonely cat lady petting her cat.
"Don't worry Fate-chan, you're bound to find someone..."Lindy kissed the other's cheek again. "If not.. i'm serious about what I said...Mommy loves you~"Was the last thing said before Lindy was asleep now.
Hopefully things work out the next day...
Stopping here, comment if this is going off better than the first one. If not, oh well. And btw, I'll be busy with this one college class this summer. Jesus, why did I sign up for it? I'm only an average highschool girl... I should be in my room watching anime and drawing instead of waking up early and going to school.. UGHHHh.
Anyways, bye-nii all~~
