Author's note- I still don't own Hayate the combat butler characters, and I am back on doing a fanfiction on my favorite manga Hayate no gotoku. It is a sequel to "when we met that day, it was destiny". This fanfic starts 10 years later. Now Hayate knows that Nagi loves him and he has requited her feelings and they are dating now, sort of.
Sometimes the narrator's witty comment (me) is in italic. If you like it or have any suggestion to improve my fanfic then leave a comment.
Chapter one: Daily life
Ten years have passed but the butler still does not have it easy. He sleeps at 3 am, and then gets up at 4 am, but he can never complain because he is doing it for the "one" he loves. He was on his way to wake up that "special-person". Standing outside her door, he was working up the courage to enter her room. She still did not know how to maintain a proper posture. Every day it was the same thing with Hayate avoiding eye contact, and being barely able to squeak, "m-mistress p-p-pull down your n-night wear. I-I can see your p-panty".
He knew the drill, but to his relief she was already up and dressed. She was wearing a pink sun dress with her usual twin tails. She was taller now, to reach the upper shelves where she kept her treasured mangas. She was too busy to notice Hayate, looking at her with adoration.
"Woah! You scared me Hayate. Will you please stop sneaking up on me like that?"
"Sorry about that mistress but why are you up so early?"
Nagi leaned towards Hayate, as a playful gesture and asked" why you like seeing me asleep?" Hayate was a serious person; it was as if there was a switch inside him that was always switched-on putting him in work mode. He said with a blush, "to be honest mistress, I think you should know how a lady should behave you are always showing your panty in public..umm why are you bent towards me like that? OUCH!"
Nagi was right to give him that right upper cut. She was irritated because of Hayate's cluelessness. If she wants him to kiss her or show a little affection, it was as if she had to pronounce it clearly. Even then Hayate could never read her signals. But that innocent side of Hayate was also adorable to Nagi.
Hayate saw her seething in anger, but still he just had to ask her, "Mistress, you are angry with me?"
Yes, Mr. obvious, she is very angry; it seems she will blow up any minute.
He again mumbles, "I am sorry. I am just worried about you." There was awkward silence, and to fill the void, he said, "umm…err..That dress looks great on you."
If anything, in these years Hayate has learned how to redeem for his mess ups: unsubtle flattery.
Nagi is quick to catch on though, she says with a smirk "oh is that so? Then how about you come with me to buy some outfits?" Something was not right about that offer but Hayate still could not say no; if this makes her forgive him then he has to agree.
Nagi was still frowning while marching down the stairs, but her frown was replaced with a smile when she saw Hayate waiting for her outside, on his bicycle. Hayate asks her, with his sexy voice, "shall we go, mistress?" The blonde could only manage to say "ye-yes" while getting all red and flustered.
Hayate was a little surprised at Nagi being gung ho about going out for shopping. She would usually prefer to buy products online. So, while he was busy in his thoughts, he completely neglected his mistress, making her even more annoyed. She did not reply to his pleas the whole way. When inside the mall, Hayate felt like a mad man, talking by himself while carrying a dozen shopping bags, bumping into strangers, and random objects.
Hayate was getting tired of the silent treatment. He heard an announcement on television-running in the mall: Surenji Ruka has taken time off from her work. Hayate tried to use this news to break the ice; "did you hear that? Ruka san will not be doing any concerts for four months." Still not a single word came out from Nagi's mouth.
Then suddenly Nagi exclaimed, "This outfit is so cute!" It was a blue-frilly-short dress with abstract design. Hayate was barely able to see light, but he said "you are right, why don't you try it?" Nagi did not take on board Hayate's suggestion; instead, she wanted Hayate to try it. She even felt the dress complemented his eyes. Hayate had the expression that said-I rather be naked, but he took the dress, and went into the dressing room anyway, because he knew that he has to do it the end. Then what came out was... how should I explain it... it was something that will make even straight men feel they are gay. Nagi was happy, and it can safely be assumed, Hayate was forgiven.
Nagi liked what she saw; so she decided to buy it for Maria.
Hayate was shocked to hear this and demanded to know why he was the model? It was valid argument; Maria is shorter than Hayate, her eyes are brown and the chest part is also umm... the word I am looking for is... different.
To all these arguments Nagi just had one answer: "I thought it would look good on you,Hayate." she was also giving the most innocent expression she can manage. Hayate was crying inside, but all he did was, let out a sigh.
This was a "normal day" in Ayasaki Hayate's life. In ten years not much has changed for him. But with the kind of luck Hayate has, he should always expect the unexpected.
