Disclaimer: I do not own Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

I'm not sure if I should continue this story since I'm not sure if people like this couple. I do have a plot in mind and it's something like "Chrono 'cheats' on Amy with Nanoha". But, will have drama and everything is not really what it seems.

I've once heard somewhere that the marriage between Chrono and Amy was against Chrono's wishes, so I got this idea…

Will be slight AU, I'll try my best to follow the exact timeline in the series. Vivio might not be present? I don't know… But maybe will appear in later chapters if I feel like it.=) Have a 50-50 mind about this story though.

Btw, i've decided to combine the first 2 chapters into one for those first timers who are turned off by the pure love story between C and N(Which was supposed to be the base and most likely the "reasons" for later on in the story, a few years later.)

Will not continue if response is not good (Like don't like the plot, the couple , etc…).

Warning: Bad Language and other problems… Believing this story's content is also like believing that French fries are health food…

The Affair of Lies. (NOT your usual love story.)

He was 14. She was 9. That was the age they met.

She was in a combat battle against his now step sister.

The passion she had, the determination that she brought along, to try and change just one person, was second to none.

He was captivated.

He had never seen such a girl like her before. He wanted to know more about her.

Perhaps it was admiration at that time. But he knew, it is more than that.

The night was really cold. Chrono really had no idea why he was up on the rooftop in the middle of the night.

He was on a mission and he and his fellow crew was staying at a provided house, which really could be just considered as a "base".

He sighed. Chrono knew he shouldn't be lacking sleep, especially during a mission. But, he just couldn't sleep, knowing she is also in the house sleeping.

Why did she have to be assigned to the same mission? Chrono could not stop thinking about her. He was always blushing when she is around and he can't believe that he was forced to avoid her lately because of that.

Her smile, her cheerful encouragement, her sweet words like…

"Chrono-kun?"

Yes, like that… Wait, what?

Chrono turned and spotted the owner of that sweet voice… Nanoha.

Why is she here? Isn't she sleeping? Oh great, what am I suppose to do now… "Na..Nanoha… What are you doing up here?"

Nanoha gave him one of her signature smile. "I can't sleep. So, what are you doing up here? Star gazing? Can I join you?" And without waiting for a reply, she just sat down beside him.

Ah, star gazing? Chrono looked up and saw the sparkles and glitters that was there the whole. He didn't even noticed, most probably because he was busy thinking about a certain brown-haired mage.

Now, he was too busy looking at the sky that he didn't notice that Nanoha was sitting real close beside him.

"Chrono-Kun, the stars are so nice…"

"Ya…" Chrono turned facing Nanoha and immediately jumped back, seeing as how close she was sitting.

Seeing that, Nanoha was shocked. "Chrono-kun… Do you hate me?"

"No!" Chrono immediately waved his hands around randomly as hope to assure her that he does not hate her.

"Then… Why do you avoid me lately? And, why did you jumped back just now when you saw how close I was sitting to you?" Nanoha, even though it was obvious she was sad, still tried to smile.

"No… I… I don't know what, no… How to say… But I don't hate you, Nanoha, please believe me…"

"Chrono-kun…" Tears were already forming at the base of her eyes.

Seeing Nanoha like that was just unbearable. He wanted to scream those secret three words to her and tell her it's not what she thinks… However, he didn't know what she felt; it would be bad if she didn't feel anything for him. That would ruin everything…

But if he didn't do anything, Nanoha would hate him.

He stood there like a rock. Mentally cursing himself. Nothing hurts more than her hating him. Nothing. But he didn't know what to do. He decided to take a chance.

"Nanoha. If I kiss you, will you stop crying?"

Nanoha immediately stopped, and lifted her head to meet Chrono's face. Her eyes widen in shock. In a good way. "Chrono-kun…. Don't you hate me?"

Chrono raised his hands to touch both the said girl's cheeks, slowly, gently… Careful not to hurt her. "I'm sorry…" He whispers softly in the still night.

Following that, he lifted her head, and kissed her slowly on his lip. It was slow, gentle, and sweet… He had never experienced anything like that before. It was his first… And her first too.

In that brief moment, that was silence and it felt as if they are the only 2 person left in the universe…

It ended as quickly as it started too. Realizing what had happened, Chrono jumped back. "Nanoha… The reason… The reason I've been… Avoiding you lately is… is… because…" Chrono was already blushing red, perhaps even redder than the time when she told him that he's nice. He prayed that the darkness of the night is enough for Nanoha to not see his face. "I…I… Nanoha… I… Lo…I Lov..."

Nanoha smiled lightly. She could see his face clearly. She was feeling pure happiness, expecting what he wanted to say… With stars as witnesses…

Nanoha was looking up at the night sky. The night sky where Chrono had confessed to her 4 months and 3 days ago. She smiled.

She rubbed her hands together in an attempt to get warmth. It was winter on Earth and Nanoha was sitting on the rooftop of her house, waiting for the arrival of her boyfriend.

Suddenly, a blue light appeared out of nowhere in front of her, and when it subsided, a face of the man Nanoha wanted to see was there.

"Chrono-kun!" Nanoha immediately stood up and hugged him.

"Sorry… I'm late. It's because it took a long time before mother went to sleep…" Chrono broke free of the hug and took Nanoha's hand. There was a warmth that Nanoha felt, the warmth that is way stronger than when she rubbed her hands. She no longer felt cold.

They sat down together before Chrono continued," Nanoha, I'm sorry that we have to keep on meeting like this secret… It must have been hard for you right? To not able to do things like going to the movies or amusement parks with your boyfriend… To not able to boast or tell others about your boyfriend…" Chrono was stopped by Nanoha with a soft kiss on the lips.

Nanoha gave Chrono a reassuring smile. "No, Chrono-kun. I'm fine with it! In fact, I kinda like moments like this when we meet in silence where nobody will disturb us… Places like movies and amusement parks are places where we won't be alone. I prefer spending peaceful time with you like this!"

"But… I'm sorry for asking you to keep our relationship a secret. I know its girls' dream to have a normal boyfriend and to boast it to others… It's just that you're still so young and…"

"Fate-san's my friend and your sister; you don't want things to become weird for the two of us… Also, our parents would not be as 'approving'. I mean, I'm sure my family is already very 'surprised' by the fact that I'm a mage and doing some dangerous things, so I don't think they will be able to accept their daughter dating an officer from TSAB in such short amount of time. You mother too, I'm sure she'll be very surprised since her son's dating her daughter's best friend." Nanoha interrupted Chrono. "Its fine, I know."

"Nanoha…" Chrono smiled, something that is quite common whenever he is with Nanoha.

"I have something I want to give you…" Nanoha took something out from a bag that has been beside her all along. "I made it myself; I really hope you'll like it…" She pulled a scarf out.

She flipped it with her hand and wrapped it round his neck. In the process, Chrono noticed that Nanoha's hand was covered in bruises; not like the ones she normally get from battles, but more like the ones a person will get from needles. "It's not very well made but I did make it sincerely."

The scarf was of the colour sky blue with 2 white stripes at the ends. Its not well made, with some treads coming out at the ends, but to Chrono, it was the most wonderful gift he has and will ever receive.

"The colour of the scraf is blue… This reminds me of the sky… You love the sky don't you?"

He leaned over and kissed her on her forehead. "That's because flying in the sky makes you happy."

8 months and 14 days since they started dating, and today is New Year Eve. Chrono clutched his pocket with his left hand while using his right hand to hold Nanoha's hand.

The park was awfully quiet at night. There was nobody in the park for most of the people had went to celebrate the new year in the streets or at parties. They had sneaked out of a New Year's Eve party organized by Hayate and her knights on Earth.

"The starry sky is so beautiful… If only we could fly… What a pity…" Nanoha pouted while looking at the night sky.

"Actually, we can."

"What? Are you sure?"

"Yes, Earth is an unadministrated world. There's a rule that says that usage of magic is strongly discouraged at a TSAB unadministrated world because it is feared that the people there will come into contact with magic. However, it states nothing about magic being completely banned from TSAB unadministrated worlds, as long as other people won't know it. That's why you were able to learn magic on Earth. I don't normally do this but, you wanna fly together?"

"But how do we to prevent other people from seeing us?"

"Don't worry; I learnt a new skill lately. It allows me to turn invisible. As long as you hold my hand, others will not see you too."

Nanoha showed her trademark smile and hugged Chrono tightly. "Chrono-kun! You're the best!"

After Nanoha released Chrono from the hug, both of them activated their Barrier Jacket.

"Axel Fin." Yes, my master.

"Visible Purge." Yes, boss. Chrono called out as a blue magic circle appeared below his feet. He held Nanoha's hand and both of them turned invisible. "You ready?"

Nanoha nodded and squeezed his hand. With that, both of them flew into the sky.

This was the first time Nanoha has ever flown with Chrono. She felt good. It was nostalgia; the feeling she had was similar to that when she first started flying. That kind of unforgettable feeling. She couldn't help but laughed out loud, enjoying every moment of it.

Nanoha was however; too busy enjoying the moment to notice where Chrono was leading her to.

"Nanoha… Look below…" Chrono whispered softly into her ear.

Nanoha turned her attention from Chrono to the sight below her. It was amazing. The entire city was covered with glaring lights and the river sparkled like diamonds, it was simply to say, a sight to remember, and a sight that only she and Chrono will know. The emotions were overwhelming… Tears were overflowing.

"Chrono-kun… "

Chrono smiled. "Nanoha, the countdown is about to begin…"

As indeed, the countdown started.

"10… 9… 8…"

"Nanoha, isn't it said that what you do on the New Year will decide how you're going to spend the rest of the year?"

"7… 6… 5..."

"Chrono-kun?" Nanoha blinked in curiosity. " I heard that before…"

"4… 3… 2…"

"And so…"

"1…"

Chrono pulled Nanoha in and sealed her lips with a kiss.

"Happy New Year!"

8 months and 15 days since they started dating.

10 months and 29 days since they started dating.

It's Valentine's Day in Mid-Childa. Nanoha ran. Tears were flowing and dripped upon the blue box that Nanoha was holding on to. Her footsteps left the muddy Earth step by step, fast but steady. She was excited.

Chrono had came back after being 2 months gone for a mission, and Nanoha is feeling happy to be able to see him again.

Nanoha made a beeline towards Chrono once she saw the blue-haired man.

"Chrono-kun!" Nanoha couldn't contain her excitement and rushed to give Chrono a big bear hug. "I missed you!"

Chrono removed himself and gave Nanoha a gentle peck on her forehead. "I missed you too… And…" He started to dig something out of his back pocket, before revealing a plain silver ring. "I got this for you…" He showed her the writings beneath the ring saying C x N before holding out Nanoha's left hand and slip the ring onto her index finger.

Nanoha was about to break to tears and tried to shy away from Chrono's face but he gently use his hands to pull her face back. "I know it's too early for anything yet since our career has only just taken off, we don't have much time with each other… and… and… Before I can give you of anything yet, before I can put this ring on the correct finger, I hope this… This ring can give you the assurance that you need… I hope you will think of me when you're away on a mission… Or, when you're just away from me…"

With that, Nanoha broke into tears and hugged him tightly. "I love you! I really really do!" She just blurted out.

Chrono smiled and replied, "Me too. Really"

As Nanoha released Chrono, she handed blue box she has been holding on for awhile to him. "Happy Valentine's Day! These are the chocolates I made myself! And since tonight is so special, my parents are out celebrating together, my siblings are spending it with their loves ones, we have the place all by ourselves!"

Hearing that, he blushed. How was he going to ever get enough of this girl?

Maybe never.

It was 11am, Sunday on Earth. Nanoha was standing alone, neatly dressed, waiting for the arrival of that special someone. Nanoha thought it was weird. Chrono would never ask her out during the mornings as he would be too busy with his job. He also sounded nervous over the phone earlier and told her he has something important to tell her later on.

Nanoha chuckled, wondering what could be the important thing he needs to tell her. A million and one things appeared in her mind.

Finally, the long awaited figure appeared before her eyes and she greeted him with the only way she knows how; a big bear hug.

However, she noticed something was wrong seeing how he was responsive to the hug. He just stood there, eyes facing the ground. Nanoha released Chrono and threw him a concern look and asked, "Chrono-kun?"

Chrono did not respond but only gently pushed Nanoha away. "I have something important to tell you. Please…"

Nanoha was puzzled by all of this. She has never seen him so sad before.

"I… I…" Unable to continue his sentence, Nanoha uses both hands to lift his face up and asked him what's the matter.

Looking into Nanoha's eyes directly, Chrono suddenly exploded, "I'm going to get married to Amy!"

With that, Nanoha's pupils dilated and she felt her knees went weak.

"What…?" She asked in order to confirm the words that has just came out of Chrono's mouth.

"I…I… She… Amy's pregnant… with my child…"

"When… What… How…?"

Chrono swore that he heard the words "Standby Ready" when nanoha said that. "It happened 2 and a half months ago… My colleagues dragged me to a bar because they want me to loosen up. Amy was there too… I was forced to drink and since I can't hold my liquor too well, I got drunk soon. Amy volunteered to take care of me but I couldn't remember anything after-"

Chrono could not finish the sentence when Nanoha slapped him. "Jerk. You could have told me earlier."

The tall blonde was having her lunch break when her best friend, Nanoha, came to join her in the empty seat beside her.

"Ahh, Nanoha! You're here! But what's the matter… You look… Terrible…?" Fate immediately asked the lifeless, walking zombie in front of her. She has never seen Nanoha like that before. Never, not even when Nanoha first heard that she would not be able to fly again after that terrible accident that happened 5 years ago.

Nanoha just kept looking down.

"Did something happened?"

"Fate-chan… Even if I said it, you wouldn't understand"

"If you don't tell me what's wrong, how could I possibly understand?"

"I…I… I guess... I…"

Looking at her best friend's hesitation, Fate decided not to probe any further. She could almost guess what exactly happened. "It's okay if don't say it. But if you're looking for someone who can lend you a shoulder, you came to the right person." Fate smiled gently.

"Fate-Chan…" She hugged Fate tightly and began crying loudly. Nanoha was so glad she had a friend like Fate. She was also glad she did not told Fate about her relationship with Chrono. If not, what would have happened to these siblings now? Fate would most likely be placed in a tight spot. No matter how badly Nanoha wanted to say it, she wouldn't want to do that to Fate.

"One is my best friend and the other is my brother… How could I not notice?" Fate thought bitterly, but instead chose to act like she didn't know.

It was the day of the wedding. Rain poured down heavily on the ground outside the church, but it wasn't the only place where in which was filled with rain. So was Chrono's heart.

"Fate!" Chrono called out to his sister.

"Yes, Onii-Chan?" Fate turned to face her brother.

"Have you seen Nanoha?"

Fate was stunned. She was shocked that Chrono would ask her that question on the day of his wedding. "She went back to Earth. She… Said that she wanted to take a year's break from her work at TSAB to fully concentrate on her studies…" Fate tried to smile but the only that came out was a forced smile that clearly showed concern all over.

"A year… Off? I didn't heard that from her at all…"

"Perhaps… you're too busy! She didn't really tell a lot of people about this matter too though." Fate tried her hardest to think of a reason. She could understand why those two kept the relationship from her. It would be awkward when it becomes like this.

"I see…" Chrono was clearly disappointed was at the same time, at least he didn't get to see her face when he was going to marry someone else. He was sure that if he did, he will be guilty for life, not that he was not going to be now.

"What about Hayate and the rest?"

"They're currently on assignment, so they can't come. But they told me to give you their blessings."

"Ah, I see…" Chrono was kind of paranoid about that. Could they not come on purpose?

Amy walked towards the two. She greeted them in her white wedding dress, which did a good job hiding her growing stomach.

"Hi." Was the only word Fate could say. There was awkward silence after that. Neither could think of anything to say. Amy could see that Fate was not all please to see her brother marrying someone because he didn't want his child to be fatherless. He was a good man, and Amy felt bad.

Trying to break the silence, Fate spoke up. "Ahh, isn't it time for the wedding? Come on, let's not make the guests wait!" And she quickly pulled away the both of them.

But before they could reach their destination, a tall blonde man was standing in their way. Yunno. He just stood there, face calm, showing a serious expression, something that he never done before. He walked towards Chrono and glared at him.

Chrono looked down, dare not face the man, for he was sure he knew exactly what was happening.

Yunno was about to raise his fist when Fate immediately cut in. "Yunno! What a pleasure to see you here! How you been doing lately? Anything interesting?"

"Fate, I'm not staying here for long, I'll be leaving soon… " Yunno nodded slightly before turning his attention back to Chrono. "You… I hope you're happy." That came out emotionlessly.

After saying all that, Yunno turned his back and walked out into the rain, for all of which, Fate saw. She was hurt. That painful feeling when Yunno walked away was leaving her helpless. She didn't know why, but the feeling was unbearable. Her face was filled with sadness…No, she can't be seen sad, especially during the day of her brother's wedding. However, she could no longer contain all the feelings she has felt that day, no matter how much she tried to convince herself that today was a joyous occasion. She was able to cry.

Chrono saw that and asked if she was aright.

"Onii-Chan… I'm not feeling very well… Can I leave for a while? I promise I'll be back when I'm feeling better again…"

"Fate… Yes, but take good care of yourself alright? I'll check on you when everything's done…"

"I'll take my leave now." Fate quickly ran, it was too painful to stay. It was too painful to see her brother marrying someone he didn't love. It was too painful to see the person her best friend love marrying someone else. But most importantly, it was too painful to remember the man she loves being upset over another girl because her heart got broken by another man.

Amy was sure by then that their wedding was not well-received. Close friends, Yunno, Nanoha, Fate… Was all not present. Sure, Hayate didn't come because of work, but… She was still scared. Is this marriage a correct choice? She can't help but ask…

Author's notes: Like I said, will not continue if you guys don't like it.

I don't really care, as long as i feel like it, i will continue. And, fyi, again, this is not your usual love story.
