Hi again!
I told in one of my stories that I would write an HoA fanfic. Well, here it is! Hope you enjoy! I was gonna make this a crossover of Harvest Moon and HoA, but on second thought only the flowers and the way they tell time (They don't tell the month; only the season) in Harvest Moon were of use in this story. Wait, one question: Where did Joy stay when she came back? Sorry, I haven't watched the whole season yet.
Once again, enjoy!
1st day of Spring, 7:00 pm
Everyone in the House of Anubis was pretty noisy that night in each room.
Patricia and Mara were busy chatting about some things with Joy.
Jerome and Alfie were laughing while planning their next prank.
Fabian was busy playing the guitar, while Mick was listening.
It was only the room of Amber and Nina which was quiet. Amber occupied time by polishing her jewelry, while Nina was busy reading a history book. Amber was bored just staring at the jewelry that she was cleaning, so she spoke up.
"Hey Nina…"
"Yes, Amber?"
"Just asking one thing. Do you like Fabian?" Amber said with a smirk.
"W-what? You're just fooling me again into thinking he likes me." Nina put down her book beside her and sat upright.
"No! Of course not! We're friends, aren't we? C'mon, just admit you like him. It's spring anyway; it may be the start of something new."
"Hmph. I may like him, I may not." The American smirked.
Just then, a note slipped down under their door.
"Hey look! A note!" the blonde stood up and read it. "Speaking of him… here, Neens. A note from your knight in shining armor." Amber stretched her arm and gave the note.
"My knight in shining armor might just be a geek wrapped in tin foil…" Nina rolled her eyes and read the letter:
…..
Nina,
Please meet me downstairs at the front door.
I really need your help on something!
Thanks!
~Fabian
…..
"Urf.. I… um…" Nina was lost at words as she stood up.
Amber walked closer to her and patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry; I won't tell anyone you're on a date with him."
"W-we aren't on a date! He just needs my help on something…" Nina grabbed her jacket in a rush.
"Wait! Aren't you gonna put on a dress, or lip gloss?" Amber was about to grab her make-up kit.
"Amber, this isn't a date. Plus, I'm perfectly comfortable in my outfit now. Bye! We'll be back before 10 pm." Nina shut the door as she left.
At the front door downstairs
"F-Fabian…?" Nina completely stuttered as she came down the stairs and saw him at the door, waiting.
"Sh… don't be too noisy or they'll hear up sneaking out…" Fabian called for her quietly.
"S-sneaking out…?"
"Well, ya… it's a long story… let me tell you when we're outside. Don't worry if they lock us out; I snuck up earlier and stole the key to the house just in case." He showed the key.
Nina nodded and they slowly crept outside.
Outside the house
"So… why did you need my help…?" she asked again.
"Well… um…" he felt uneasy. "I-I was making a research report on the different kinds of flowers that bloom in a certain season. And, well, it is the start of spring, so I figured I could start now. And I guessed that you knew where to find different flowers, so…" he stared at his feet, embarrassed.
"Hmph… why didn't you say so? I walk around the school sometimes, so I know where we're going!" Nina pulled Fabian's arm, which made him blush, and led him into a forest.
"Um… Nina… where are we…?" now he was the one stuttering.
"Oh please. Can't you see well in the dark? Don't you remember the place where we did our ceremony of the Sibuna with Amber? The one when you sacrificed your science book—"
"Okay, okay, you don't have to repeat that memory…" he pouted as she giggled.
For a little while, they tried to find a flower that had opened it's petals already, but it was really dark in the forest that they couldn't see.
"I… can't seem to find a flower. Maybe tomorrow after lunch I'll have some luck." Fabian gave up.
"If you say so. It's not my research anyway; I'm just here to help."
So the two walked out of the forest on their way to the house.
But as they walked, Nina noticed that Fabian had his hands behind his back, which made her curious.
"Hey Fabian… what do you have behind your back?" she asked with interest.
"Oh, I'm holding nothing. I just like to put my hands behind my back always." Nina sensed that he was lying.
"Really? I didn't know that."
"Well, yeah, don't you notice—"
"Awww come on Fabian! I just wanna see! Please?" she suddenly pulled one arm of him, but his one hand that she pulled was empty.
"Just wait Nina!" he tried to resist showing what he was hiding.
"Please Fabian? I'm just so curious…" she pleaded.
"F-fine. I was gonna show it to you when we were already at the front door, but your curiosity forced me." He held up with his other hand a yellow flower that was gleaming under the moonlight.
"I-It's so… pretty and shiny… I thought you didn't find any flowers… what kind is it, anyway?" Nina was completely dazed by the flower that shone like the star.
"It's called a Moondrop flower… it only grows in the season of Spring, and it only opens its petals during the night when it can bathe under the moonlight… I found it earlier but I didn't want to tell you… I wanted to give it to you instead, since it was so nice…" he gave the flower to her, who accepted it with a smile on her face.
"Fabian… you are just… so sweet…" she stared at the flower first while walking, then pinched his cheeks.
"Oww… what was that for…?" Fabian rubbed his rosy cheek.
"Nothing. I'm trying to say thanks by pinching your cheeks." Nina giggled.
"Hmph… you're welcome…" he answered in a nervous way, blushing.
Suddenly, another note seemed to fall of the jacket of his pocket, which he didn't notice.
"What is it, Nina?" he stopped and looked at Nina who was crouching down to get the fallen note.
"Oh, it's nothing, really. I dropped my bracelet, that's all." She lied.
"Okay then, c'mon." he started to walk again, leaving Nina a bit far behind as she stood up again.
Nina, as she walked behind Fabian, tried to read the note. Then she noticed it was Fabian's handwriting, so the note was his. She started to read it quietly so that he wouldn't be aware that that note got into her hands.
The note said:
Ferocious love always starts at the beginning of a new spring.
Please comment! I would like to hear what you think about this. I'm not one of those writers who needs reviews to write the next chapter. I write this because I can't handle not writing or watching HoA. I'm in Fabina mode!
I know this chapter is boring TT^TT, but that's the plot of the story. As the story goes on, it gets more and more interesting (and fluffier). Really. There's a twist in the end, but not now.
And if you're asking if I made that last line, Ferocious love... etc. , I didn't. I got that from the ending of Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth when Agent Lang came to the trial to watch Edgeworth at the end of the game. But I'm not sure if those were the exact same thing Lang said. All I remember about what he said was 'Ferocious love' and 'new spring'. So that line was the best I could recall in the game.
Plus, the Moondrop flower is from Harvest Moon DS. And I do not own HM or HoA, kay?
And I may not add the second chapter (Summer) for some days, maybe, 'cause I'm busy in my Deviantart, making arts of Kiraposa, who stole my Pocky. And obviously, this story has 4 chapters 'cause there are 4 seasons.
Oops. Gotta go. My mom's calling me because my room looks like a pigsty.
'Till next time. See ya! Kya~
