Prison Love
by illgiveyouparadise
Hey guys! This is an idea that suddenly popped into my mind recently so I took the initiative to write it out.
This is the summary, in case you're curious:
In order to prevent her already sick brother from joining the army, Nanoha had decided to disguise as Kyoya to attend the future war. However, she had never expected to meet a blonde haired boy that makes her heart beat in more than one way or the other. Still, the blonde seems to be more than what meets the eye, so just who exactly did Nanoha really fall in love with?
So check my story out and tell me if you want me to continue.
Currently, I'm still on Quixotic Love, and if you've already read that story too, then please go to it after you've read this short one-shot. I've made some (mega) changes to it so leave me some reviews on what you think about the updated version!
Thanks!
This story and idea was actually inspired by 1. D-Day (awesome movie by the way) and 2. Mulan (again, awesome cartoon).
Enjoy!
Oh and of course, DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MAGICAL GIRL LYRICAL NANOHA AT ALL!
Chapter 1
Why did it come to this?
Nanoha asked herself for the tenth time.
Oh right, it was all for her brother Kyoya.
The thought of her brother, if it had any effect, made her even gloomier.
He had been sick, but the government, who were on edge ever since their strategists predicted a large-scaled war would take place in a few years, recruited people for their army and just by their luck, every family had had to send their eldest son to support them.
Naturally, they couldn't refuse the government, not when you only own a small Midoriya Cafe.
Still, her brother had been sick, and she wouldn't allow him to go. Not when he couldn't even stand or take care of himself properly.
It had been hard on Kyoya when he received the devastating news announced by the government that had spread throughout their city like a wild fire. Going to war had meant leaving his beloved girlfriend, and the chances of him returning to her were...incalculable.
It was probably at that time that she had come to her conclusion: she would disguise as her brother and join the army in order to preserve the happiness of Kyoya and Shinobu Tsukimura, his discreet girlfriend.
Of course, her brother had denied her suggestion at first. In fact, her whole family did, but nothing could change her mind, and after Kyoya got sick, her resolve only became stronger.
So here she was, sitting on a mini-bus cramped with other people like her: trainees for combat, but the only difference was that she's a girl, not a guy.
She fiddled with the hem of her baggy t-shirt. The binds that she had over her chest was suffocating her, it was something that she needed to get used to, but right now, it was downright uncomfortable.
Sighing, her eyes skimmed over the bunch of men sitting in the bus.
Their faces were grim, no one smiled or laughed. Now what did she expect? People joking around and guffawing with each other while leaving their loved ones behind? Nanoha snickered at that.
At least she wasn't the only one who was suffering from the separation with family members, a little voice in her head said.
Soon, the mini-bus stopped in a remote area where a huge block of metallic building stood dully, looking like a prison cell.
The person in charge, who was at the very front blared his speaker, 'I want two people standing side by side in a row when you get off the bus! Choose a partner and he'll be your roommate for as long as you're training here. Is that clear?'
Heads nodded sullenly.
'I said, is that clear?'
'Yes sir,' the men grumbled apprehensively.
'That behavior is certainly unacceptable. Show some respect! Ah, but no worries, folks. We will beat you into the right shape in no time at all!' the man cackled, and if it was possible, the expression on the others' faces became even more sour.
'Now get the hell out of here!' the man hollered, and people instantly rose and shuffled out of the bus one by one.
Unfortunately, Nanoha was the last one to walk by the person in charge and to her utmost horror; she was stopped short with an iron grip on her shoulders.
'Hey, you, you look like a girl.' The man squinted his beady eyes on her.
She stiffened. Her heartbeat drummed painfully in her ears.
Was this it? Were they going to find out that she's actually a girl? That she had disguised as her brother and came here while hiding the truth? Was she going to be executed as punishment? Or maybe even death penalty for deceiving the government?
'You better watch that pretty face of yours, pretty boy, because yer face ain't gonna stay like that for long,' the man sneered.
It took a few seconds for Nanoha to digest what he just said, and relief flooded through her veins immediately. She nodded at him.
When she finally left the bus, most of the men had already found themselves a partner, which left her... partner-less.
Looking around, she spotted a tall blonde-haired guy standing awkwardly at the side, his head dipped down.
He was keeping to himself and emitting an aura that screamed 'leave me alone!', but even though Nanoha could understand why he was doing so too, she considered the situation and went up to him.
'Hey, you got a partner yet?' she asked, lowering her voice in the process.
The blondie froze, her body rigid before slowly raising his head to meet her eyes.
Suddenly, burgundy clashed with cobalt.
Okay, I know it's short, but I don't really know if you guys will like this type/kind of story, so leave me some reviews if you want me to continue! Tell me what you think!
