Disclaimer: I do not own Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.
A/N: My first Nanoha fanfic. This story pairings are Nanoha x Yuuno and Chrono x Fate (I know they don't really communicate well with each other in the Anime, but they look really cute together, though I thought Chrono might go well with Nanoha too…) There might be some signs of Nanoha x Chrono at either the start or middle, so bear with it.
Summary: Nanoha, Fate and Chrono are average high school students, and best friends. They'll always stick up for each other when needed. But what if Nanoha asks them for suggestions to help her confess her feelings to her crush? Especially when he is the school's most popular guy, Yuuno Scrya? (Nanoha x Yuuno Chrono x Fate)
Characters' age: Nanoha, Yuuno, Fate, Chrono (14 years old)

Chapter 1: Thoughts
Nanoha's POV
Only five more minutes until school starts! I thought as I rushed to school, running with all my strength. I woke up late today, but it wasn't entirely my fault! My parents left for the store early that morning to make the cakes that some customers ordered; my brother and sister went to school early in the morning for their duty. I had forgotten to charge my handphone battery and this morning, it died on me. I could never wake up early without my phone, it was where my alarm was.
When I reached the school, I looked at my watch, three more minutes! I rushed up to class and luckily, the bell rang right after I stepped into the class. I panted as I went to seat, catching a breather. Suddenly, I felt someone tapping me from behind. I turned and saw Fate Testarossa, one of my best friend.
"You're lucky that you came to class just one time." She said softly, just loud enough for me to hear. "She's right, you know." I turned to the side where that voice came from and saw another one of my best friend, Chrono Haraoun. Knowing him, I knew I was about to get a lecture from him. "It's already so late and…" Chrono said. I saw Fate rolling her eyes and said, "For heaven's sake, Chrono, spare us the lecture." Her voice sounded through half the class, and she was lucky that the teacher wasn't here, yet. Almost everyone looked at her, but she didn't care. That was what I liked about her, she was so cool about everything.
"Us?" Chrono asked confusingly. "Well, since you're lecturing her, and since I'm listening, it's considered as two person. And when there are two or more people, it's considered as 'they'. Gee, didn't they teach in English class, or weren't you listening?" Fate said in a matter-of-factly tone. "Of course I did!" Chrono retorted, "It's just that I wasn't counting you in the lecture."
Fate rolled her eyes and Chrono faced Nanoha, saying, "Point is…" "Class, settle down!" A feminine voice called. Chrono and Fate returned to their seats. For once, I was grateful for the teacher in stepping into class at the right time, preventing me from Chrono's lecture. I knew Chrono was still upset with me being late. But I have no idea why. It seems that sometimes, whenever I wanted to do something, he would stop me. He would that they are not good actions and told me not to do it.
Like the time when I was hungry when they (Fate and Chrono) came to my house. I wanted to eat my brother's share of cake; Chrono told me that if I ate it, my brother would angry with me. And in the end, I didn't eat it, fearing that like Chrono said, he might be angry. But still, I wonder why. I knew he was concerned about me because I was his best friend, but there's something different back there, and I have no idea what was it.
"Nanoha." The teacher called my name and I raised my hand to confirm her that I was present. As the teacher continued her attendance taking, I looked over to the boy sitting in front of Chrono. He was so cool, even by looking at his back view.
Yuuno was my crush since my friends and I were ten years old. He is so cool and helpful, had a kind face and nice personality, there are so much good things to say about him! I always wanted to tell him that I like him, but I didn't dare to. What if he likes me only as a friend? What if he even didn't know I existed? But now, three years have passed, and I really want to tell him about my feelings. Maybe I should ask Fate and Chrono about it. I knew that even though I'll get a huge lecture from Chrono, but he'll still be able give me brilliant ideas on confessing my feelings for him. As for Fate, I'm very confident that she'll give me extra helpful tips, anyway, she was the school's most popular girl and there are a lot of boys who liked her, though she doesn't care about popularity.
"Okay, class. Today, I will be telling you about your upcoming project. You will be divided into pairs and this project would be counted in your final year grade. As for the pairing, we will be drawing lots." The teacher, Miss Hiroka announced. The class gave sounds of protests. Did I also mention that Yuuno was also very popular? I bet girls in the class were protesting because they couldn't be paired with him, as for the boys, well, same goes for them with Fate.
"Fate and Chrono. Nanoha and Yuuno. Mizuki and Daisuke…" Miss Hiroka called out the pair. Oh my gosh! Did I hear wrong? Did I just get paired with Yuuno? After Miss Hiroka called out all the pairings, everyone went to their partners. I saw Yuuno coming towards me and asked, "So, you want to talk about the project, Nanoha?" I blushed and nodded shyly.
Actually, the real reason I like about Yuuno came about on the first day he transferred to our school. It was a very little thing he did, but it never left my mind…

End of chapter 1. I was actually thinking that Yuuno should be the best friend instead of Chrono, but I scraped the idea. I also like Nanoha and Chrono together, but I like Nanoha and Yuuno more. If anyone of you wants me to write a fanfic about Nanoha and Chrono, just tell me, and I'll try to think of another plot of it. In the mean time, please R&R! Thank you and hope you enjoyed reading it!
