Yo readers! *cheers for my second Fanfic! So…I am sincerely, humbly, pleading to all the NanoFate writers there! Come back to life, please! This Fic is for you! We need more NanoFate English fanfictions here!
Anyway, again, English isn't my first language so I apologize in advance for some grammatical errors you'll notice. I'm not a pro so please no flames. So! On to the story! AU!
Edited: I re-upload this chapter because when I reread this part, it feels like a trash. Well, it may still be a trash...but maybe it became a better trash now. (I may re-upload the other chapters too, but I really feel lazy now so maybe some other time...a time that may not come lol)

"You don't have to worry...as long as you remember...I'm fine with this."
Memories
"Good morning, Fate-chan!" my childhood friend, Nanoha Takamachi, greeted as she saw me near the school gate. Her smile as radiant as ever. I waved back in response and greeted her as well. "The weather's good today, want to go somewhere after school?" An invitation early in the morning? Nanoha is becoming bold, I see. I smiled to myself and decided to tease the brunette a little.
"You mean like a date?" I asked innocently waiting for her blushing face to appear...and she didn't fail me once again. How cute.
"W-what?" she stuttered "I-it's not like t-that! I mean...we normally hang-out together, right?!"
I just grinned in response and walked a little ahead of her "So where do you want to go, princess?"
She walked closer to me as she thought of a good place to hang-out, "How about the carnival?" A carnival, huh? I looked to my watch then walked a little faster.
"If that's what you want, I don't really mind" I said as I hastily grabbed her hand then started to run. She seemed shock for a second so I explained myself immediately.
"We're going to be late"
Memories
Class dismissal finally came and we quickly gathered our things for our different errands. When I was about to stand up, Nanoha suddenly appeared in front of me...with a frown visible on her face.
"Fate-chan" she said with a cold voice. I wonder what did I do this time? "You forgot it, don't you?"
Forgot? What?
"Uhm...could you elaborate your question, please?" I smiled sheepishly hoping for her glare to lessen...but I obviously failed. She sighed as she put her hand on her waist and the other to my desk.
"Why do you always...uhh nevermind" Nanoha said exhausted. She looked at me and finally cleared what she's saying all this time, "You forgot our dat-" she cleared her throat "I mean our hang-out after school"
"We have one today?" I asked idiotically while tilting my head as I felt a hard smack on my head coming from Nanoha. "Ouch!"
"Fate-chan! You're always like that!" she shouted, her face becoming redder and redder. It's true, this past few days I always forget things I shouldn't forget...It's not like I want to though... "Is it not important to you?!" Oh jeez...good thing our classmates already left the classroom...
"Nanoha, it's not like that" I responded to calm her down "Of course it's important to me..."
"Then why do you always..." she asked again as little tears started to form on her oceanic eyes. I stood up from my chair and patted her head while smiling gently.
"Want a creep?"
She stared at me with disbelief but nonetheless nodded her head like the cutest thing in the world.
Yep, Nanoha is definitely the cutest.
Memories
"Let's try the horror house" I pointed to a quite huge house with a 'horror house' sign board written with a blood-like color. Nanoha froze on her spot and stopped eating her creep. Oh...I definitely like this...
"Oh! Let's try the Ferris wheel, Fate-chan!" she abruptly shouted as she pointed her index finger at the huge machine where you could see the whole city. That won't work tho. I smirked as I hold her hand suddenly.
"In movies, that thing always appears at the end" I tightened my grip on her hand to be sure she can't escape. "So we're going to the horror house first"
"Nooooooo!" she shouted as she tried her best to get out of my grasp, little droplets of sweat visible on her face already "I want the Ferris Wheel first!"
"Eh? Could it be that you're scared, Nanoha?" I asked the 'most obvious thing in the world', but knowing this brunette, she will deny it even if it kills her.
"W-what?!" Figures "W-why would I?"
"Then let's go!" I practically pulled her towards her horror without any mercy. I know she already have little tears in her eyes...but I couldn't let this chance pass! "Let's have a bet, Nanoha"
"Huh?" Hearing what I said, she curled her eyebrows in confusion "What kind of bet?"
"If you could last there inside of the horror house for ten minutes, you could have me as your slave for a day" she seemed to brighten at that, I'm not done though I moved closer to her until my lips almost touched her ears "But if I win...I'll have you all for myself for a day"
The bright smile she was having on her face was immediately replaced by a furious blush. I can't help but chuckle at her reaction.
"Deal?"
Coming back to her senses, Nanoha hesitantly nodded. "P-prepare yourself, Fate-chan" she said with a forced serious face "This is a piece of cake!" I took out my phone from my pocket and clicked the stop watch. I stared at Nanoha's back as she walked towards the Horror House despite having her knees shaking a little. If only I could remember this moment too...
"Hey, Fate-chan? Are you ready?" Nanoha asked as she finished hyperventilating and a little stretching too. She curled her eyebrows worriedly when she didn't hear a response. That's right...she shouldn't know...she's a worry rat, anyway.
"Shouldn't you be asking that to yourself?" I grinned as she pouted her cheeks really annoyed. "Ready?" she nodded her head and gave me a proud smile.
"Bring it on!"
"Well then, run inside at my signal...
Go!"
Memories
It's been five minutes since Nanoha entered the horror house...I know she might make it and win the bet...either way I'm okay with it, as long as I could make more and more memories with her...happy memories that even when that time comes...I won't regret anything. She's not a friend to me anymore...she surpassed that level long time ago...I want to tell her that...but she deserves someone more than me...a person who could stay by her side and...
"Gyaaaaaaahhh!"
"Nanoha!"
I panicked and then ran as fast as possible inside the horror house. I'm certain that it's Nanoha's voice! I should-! Wait a second... I stopped and stood straight abruptly. I think I'm overreacting here...this is a horror house, Fate! Of course she will shout like that at some moment! I slightly punched myself for being an idiot and then still proceeded to walk inside. Now that I'm here in this house, I should just search for Nanoha.
PUMP.
I fell on my knees as I felt a sudden pang in my head. Oh shoot...of all moment...why now? I tried to suppress my voice as I don't want anyone to hear me...especially her...but I think I couldn't take it anymore...my brain is like being torn into two...it hurts...it hurts so much!
"Fate...?"
no...please not her...
"Fate?!" she rushed to my side and kneel down beside me "What happened?!" she asked panicking.
"Nanoha..." I murmured with little energy I have "Don't worry...I'm okay...really" Wow, I still managed to smile.
"Don't joke around!" she snapped "You're not obviously okay!" I don't even know now who's in better condition...Nanoha's really sweating a lot...
"I'm fine as long as I could take my medicine..." I searched inside my pocket to find my medicine. It really doesn't taste good...but I couldn't afford to be picky here... "You should calm down, Nanoha"
"Fate-chan..." she's still holding me tightly...and it hurts a little...but I understand. I'm going to explain it all today.
Memories
"Remember that accident when we were ten?" I said breaking the silence that's growing bigger and bigger. Nanoha nodded still holding my hand all this time. We are now sitting at one of the benches on the carnival. The crowd were almost gone because it's pretty late already.
"The doctor said it affected my brain..." Nanoha didn't respond but I felt her grip on my hand tightened. "He said that...bit by bit...my memories of the past and as of now...will slowly...will slowly..." Nanoha suddenly hugged my tightly...her head buried on my bosom.
"It will all fade away..."
"H-hey...y-you're j-joking, right? Fate-chan?" Nanoha asked crying while still hugging me and trembling "that can't be...tell me this is just a joke...Fate-chan..."
"I wish I could..." I replied quietly. I smiled gently as I broke the hug a little to look at her eyes.
"S-so..that means...you'll forget...you'll forget all about me...?" That's the last thing I want you to know... I gripped my hand but still trying my best to have that smile on my face "All the memories we shared...all...all the feelings we build for each other...you'll forget all of them? F-Fate-chan?" This is why I don't want you to know...I don't want to see you crying this much... she hugged herself, crying more and more...and I couldn't say anything... "I don't want that!" Nanoha...
I pulled her closer and hugged her tightly. Give me anything but this fragile form of yours... "Nanoha...I may forget everything...even my feelings for you...but you're here..." I cupped her cheeks as I wiped her tears "You'll remember everything, right?" New tears started to form on her eyes as she put her head on my chest again.
"B-but that's! That's too cruel!" Nanoha sobbed "It's not fair that I'm the only one who remembers everything!"
I shook my head, "That's enough for me" I hold her hand and look through her oceanic blue eyes "As long as you could have happy memories with me before I could forget everything...that's enough for me. I mean, of course I don't want to forget everything...especially you..." ah I couldn't hold back my tears anymore...but I still need to smile...for her. "I don't want these feelings I have for you to vanish...but I couldn't do anything, right? It's fate, it's my fate."
"B-but! There must be a way!" Nanoha practically shouted as she shook her head and grabbed me at my shoulders, "There must be-"
"I'm sorry..." I interrupted "I'm afraid we could do nothing. If we do...my brain will stop functioning." I smirked to her as if I'm just joking around...but no. "The truth is...I should have died in that accident five years ago. My brain was almost not working at all...I'm in a coma. But the doctors really tried their best and had searched for a way to save me...and that's why they came up with this solution. As if restarting my brain again. All this years starting from that accident...bit by bit...I'm forgetting about my past"
"Fate-chan..."
"Nanoha...I love you. Even if that means I have to restart our meeting, as long as I could live with you again, I don't mind it." I hold her hand again as I smiled as gently as possible. "So, when the time comes that I forget everything in this world...everything about you...would you help me remember them? Narrate it all to me...make me fall in love with you all over again."
She cried again. So much. I couldn't even think where she could pull all of that... There were light screams mixed with her sobbing...but now, I'm certain that she understands my situation.
"F-Fate..." she murmured while still crying and wiping her tears uselessly "I-I... I love you too... so much...I love you, Fate-chan" with that simple sentence...I didn't notice that even I...was crying already. "D-don't worry...I'll make you fall in love with me again!" I smiled as she showed me her resolve.
"That's right...make me confess to you again" I'm really glad that there were no visitors now...because I was hugging her so much. Nanoha nodded her head in response.
"I'm going to make you crazy for me...Fate-chan"
"I don't really mind that" I was going to break the hug but Nanoha suddenly pulled me again but now her hands were around my neck...connecting our lips with a warm kiss... So this is what it feels like...does someone stop the time? If so, please just continue...I want this to last forever.
After a long moment, we finally pulled apart to each other.
"I'm going to make you remember that as much as you want" Nanoha said out of the blue with a light blush on her face.
"Please do" I grinned like an idiot as I pulled her to another hug and took out my camera. "Show this to me, okay?" I said as I clicked it with the count of three.
"Say...sweet!"
