Disclaimer: I don't own House of Anubis
I know, I know! I shouldn't be starting this when I must finish Only A Dream?, but I had to write it! It's only going to be a three- or four-shot, so don't worry, I'm not taking on another major multi-chapter story. (:
This starts exactly when Nina gets back. Note: This is probably not how the first episode goes, but I wanted to write my own interpretation of it. Please enjoy!
Chapter One: Reunited
"Oh, Nina! You're back! Oh, I missed you so much, dearie!" Trudy cried, throwing her arms around Nina's shoulders.
Nina had just walked in and was already attacked with hugs by her housemother. She dropped her bags at her feet to hug Trudy back. "I missed you so much, Trudy. Especially you're amazing cooking," Nina said, grinning from ear to ear. "Who else is here?"
"Ah, well, there's a new boy coming named Eddie, and he's from America, too. Jerome is also here, as is Alfie. Oh, and a certain someone else left me this message for you," Trudy said, smiling knowingly. She handed Nina a folded-up piece of notebook paper before walking back into the kitchen.
Nina took it with a blush, knowing who the housemother was talking about. She unfolded the note, and as soon as she saw the handwriting, she knew who it was. It read,
Nina,
Meet me in my room at noon. Don't worry about lunch, I have that covered. See you soon,
Fabian x
Nina felt her smile grow and grow as she read the note. The guy that she had studied with over the last year in school subjects and the mystery, the one she had had dreams about over summer, the one she had been missing since their kiss at the End-of-Year Prom. He wanted to meet her at noon, to see her again.
She quickly checked her phone for the time, then noticed there was only a half hour until noon. Her hair was frizzy and her makeup smudged from the warm weather outside. She needed to get ready as soon as possible!
Nina picked up her bags and ran up the stairs, into her old room. Nina set her bags on one side of the room. Amber wasn't here yet, judging by the stark walls and bed devoid of any sheets. Nina propped one suitcase on her bare bed, opened it, then began digging around to try and find her makeup case.
Finally, she found the blue case and hurried to the bathroom, closing the door behind her. She set the case against the mirror, opening it and taking out all of the makeup supplies she would need.
She washed her face, cooling it off from the dreadful heat of the warmer-than-usual fall day. With her face clean, she reapplied her concealer to make sure that no blemishes showed. Then she added a bit of blush and natural eyeshadow to her face, and also mascara to make her eyes look bigger. It was her nice, regular look, and Nina fretted if she should add more makeup to herself-what if Fabian wanted her to look prettier? Or what if she put on too much makeup?
Her eyes turned to her phone, she turned it on, and saw that she had two minutes until noon. Her eyes widened and Nina settled on just adding some chap stick to her lips before putting her makeup bag back in her room and racing downstairs.
She smoothed out her pink t-shirt of any wrinkles, then fixed her long-sleeved white shirt underneath. Even though it was fall in England, it was not that cold, so Nina had thought that a pair of shorts with a long-sleeve top was a good enough outfit to face the weather with.
Nina took a deep breath, steeling herself for the meeting with Fabian. Then, she rapped her knuckles on the door, and heard his voice call, "Come in!"
She opened the door, smiling shyly. He looked up while fiddling with a stem of a plant of some sort, but he quickly hid it behind his back with a big smile.
"Nina! Hey! Uh, h-how was your break?" he asked.
"It was fine," Nina looked down at her shoes, blushing. "How was yours?"
"Great. I-I got you this, as a sort of welcome back present," Fabian said, presenting her with a pretty red rose.
Nina gasped, picking it delicately up by its thornless stem. "It's beautiful, thank you."
He took her free hand with both of hers, forcing Nina to look at him. They both knelt on the ground, still clasping hands. She rested the rose on the ground beside her, focusing all her attention on him.
He looked down at the ground for a moment, then back into her eyes. "Y-You know, I've been thinking about a lot of things over the summer."
Was he really asking her this? Was this what she thought it was? She asked, "What kind of things?"
"I-I was thinking about, um, you," Fabian got out, his face turning red.
"R-Really?" Nina asked, for once stuttering herself.
He nodded, a small smile on his face. "I felt really bad that I never acted on- That I never did anything after that kiss at the end-of-term Prom-you know, last term."
"It's okay," she said, biting her lip.
"No, it's not okay." His voice rang strong and clear now. "I-I really like you, Nina, and I hope you'll be okay if I ask you a question," he said, meeting her eyes for a moment, but looking down again.
Her excitement rose. Was he going to ask it? Was he? "Yeah?" she urged on.
He met her eyes. "Ninawouldyoubemygirlfriend?" he asked in a rush.
"Um, what?" Nina said, not catching any word he had just said.
Fabian sighed, looking more embarrassed than anything. "Sorry, um, I wanted to ask you if . . . If you would be my girlfriend?"
Her eyes widened, her lips forming a huge grin. "Of course! I-I would love to," Nina breathed, her chest filling with excitement.
"Really?" he asked, his blushing face breaking into a smile.
"Yes, of course!" Nina threw her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly.
Fabian wrapped his arms around her waist, and they sat there for a moment, just loving being together and being happy. Nina pulled away first, her arms still around his neck. They were still close, but just looked into each others' eyes.
"I missed you, Nina," Fabian whispered, his eyes full of the love that she knew reflected in her own eyes.
"I missed you, too, Fabian," Nina whispered back.
And she felt them both leaning towards each other, so close that their breath began to mingle and wash other their faces. Then, without a moment of hesitation, she pressed her lips to his.
Butterflies began to flutter in Nina's stomach, but it wasn't nervous, more excited and happy. She, Nina Martin, was now Fabian Rutter's girlfriend. And that felt amazing.
The soft sound of the shutter of a camera and a bright flash made them break apart. They both noticed the door close, leaving only a crack. Both knew exactly what the flash and the shutter sound was: Amber.
Nina rolled her eyes, but smiled at her best friend's obsession over getting her and Fabian together, and apparently she now knew that Nina and Fabian were finally "Fabina."
Fabian shook his head, smirking slightly. "Amber, we know you're there," he called.
All that she replied with was a squeal. Fabian and Nina locked eyes, then began to laugh.
Nina stood up, grabbing her rose as she did so, and Fabian followed suit. They beamed at each other, though they both blushed a bit pink, and her hand slipped into his. They walked out the door, ready to face their housemates and the world, as long as her hand was in his.
So, this is the first chapter! Very happy and fluffy, and the usual Amber moment: basic stuff. I hope you enjoy and I will get in the next chapter of OaD? ASAP. I swear. I swear on my life it will be in by tomorrow night!
Thanks for reading, and please review!
