The first time was unbearable. She could still vividly remember how she felt and how much it had hurt. The memories of their last moments together was as blissful as it was cruel for she couldn't repeat them over and over.

The worst was how Vivio asked her when Fate would come back home and she could only answer with a forced soon.

Yes, the first time after her and Fate become a couple and how Fate had to leave for her job…

And it was more than cute and brave and stupid for her beloved blond to call her during the day, just as she was training the new recruits, with herself in less than her formal uniform and trying to seduce me over the holo display. To say she blushed was a lie, she flared up desperately trying to block her students from gawking at her beautiful lover and at the same time scolding her for calling at this time … though she forgives Fate since the time difference was still unknown … and Fate, uncharacteristicly, also send her a few pictures of herself for … special occasions …She shuddered just thinking about the implications of that.

When she returned home after classes Vivio greeted her and the little one took her hand and smiled. She knew that smile, it was the one she always had when she tried to hide something. When asked the little one only laughed and run to the living room. Curiously she followed and was shocked when she found a large picture of her and Fate as kids.

It was the picture they took when Fate had returned to earth for the first time and it showed her and Fate hugging and smiling and crying because they had missed each other so so much. She remembered how she felt the first time Fate had left her … right after the incident with the blond's mother … she wanted to be there for her but couldn't. And it tore her apart.

That picture reminded her how important Fate was to her, how she always found a way to be the center of her life and that her feelings since then had not changed all that much.

It was the reminder, the memory and the pain and the happy feels, that no matter how long they were apart, once they meet again everything would be alright.

And that thought alone made her smile, laugh, hug Vivio and cry because she knew that Fate was the one who send her the picture, she knew that Hayate was probably behind it as well and she knew how grateful she was to have all of them in her life and how much she, Takamachi Nanoha, loved her dear Fate T. Harlaown.

…tbc…

A/N Angst? What Angst? Have all of you forgotten how painful it must have felt for you as a child to be separated from a friend that was very very important to you? I remember tit and I believe its not that different for Nanoha and Fate, those two have been gravitating towards each other ever since they were children and I wanted to convey theses things since Angst fics have been increasing again.

Remember, the guardian of fluff and NanoFate is still alive and well and I will herald the tales of these two to the day I die!

Yours dear
