Author's Note: Yo guys! This is my first story to be like published or something… I might suck at first coz I'm like new to this kind of stuff…(maybe). I like reading and making up stories but I Don't really like to write coz Im' one of those too lazy to actually write it people. Hope you enjoy. This isn't really my first story, but it's the first one I ever published… if you can call it that. So I'm rambling on too long now on to the story. Oh and this was Me… over and out… Enjoy
"One Night Stand"
Vision blurred and in a drunken haze, we move onto the bed, quickly stripping on our way. I wouldn't even be doing this had I been fully conscious, but right now…
I DIDN'T CARE.
I woke up to find an empty space beside me on the bed. Remnants of memories I had last night is all I see. I had finally woken up from my drunken stupor. I am experiencing the after effects of being drunk for the first time. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am having…..
A HANGOVER.
"Are you alright?" I hear a gentle, angelic voice as I empty my stomach into the toilet bowl. I feel a soft yet strong hand rubbing soothing circles on my back, probably to help me with what I was feeling.
"Yes. I'm alright now. Thank you." I say, the aftertaste still lingering in my mouth. I try to stand up but my legs won't respond to my commands. 'Stand up' I tell myself… no use I am spent. I hear the gentle voice laughing at me.
"What?" I growl… why won't this person stop laughing? What was so funny about not being able to stand? A person I have never met before, laughing at me after THAT. How horrible. I don't even know the name and I'm too embarrassed to look up at that face. Vague memories telling me it is a beautiful person.
"Can you stand?" The person asked kindly, but with a hint of mocking in the voice.
"What do YOU think? Do I look like I can?" I bit back all the retorts I could, in hopes that I would at least be helped up.
"Alright, alright. I'm sorry, ok? So now, let me help you."
"Huh?" Before I could think about what was happening, I felt myself being hoisted up by strong arms.
"Yosh! I got you. Now, time for breakfast, Shall we?"
What is with this person? Laugh at me then help me?
"Ugh, Whatever. Yeah, let's have breakfast." I agreed, letting this person carrying me do the job.
"Ok! Hold on tight!"
"Wait, What?!" I scream as the person starts running around carrying me towards my kitchen.
"Put me down! Right now!" I scream and the person halts to a stop.
"Are you sure?" The person asks, looking at me with genuine concern written all over dude's face.
"Ummmmm… no." I quickly covered, remembering that I couldn't stand, let alone walk around.
" Then it's fine right?" Puppy eyes? Seriously, puppy eyes?
"Yeah, yeah whatever…" I respond still a bit hazy
We arrive in my kitchen and the person gently sets me down on one of the dining table chairs. The person is quick enough to ask "What would you like for breakfast?" and I respond " anything that is available" 'cause I am definitely NOT a picky eater. The person quickly responds with a nod and starts cooking my favorite foods. Yes! My favorite, but… how did my current personal chef, as I'd like to call the person, know? Did I somehow tell while I was drunk? Ah, I won't stick my head into the details.
"It's finished!" The cheerful voice of my companion echoed through the apartment complex. My partner served me some coffee to get rid of my current haze, or at least I thought it was coffee when it turned out to be delicious chocolate milk! (swiss miss w/ marshmallows) My eyes (finally) started to focus and a lovely sight greeted my eyes.
SHE was sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, burgundy eyes staring into the very depths of my empty soul. Golden tresses like rays of sunlight gloriously scattered to frame that gorgeous face, but not messy enough to make HER look like a slob. Truly, ignorance is bliss… if I had been conscious enough to know that it was a WOMAN…. I cannot even imagine how I would've reacted. Strangely enough, I didn't mind, at all. But this happiness was short lived and a very familiar feeling crept up my spine.
'What if she didn't love me back?'
I had experienced this heartbreak too many times and I promised myself that I would not hurt myself over these things. I promised to stop being naïve and ignorant towards love because…
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, DOES NOT EXIST
"Hello?" A hand waves in front of my face. "Are you ok? Why are you crying?" Huh? What is she talking about? Crying- I feel tears rolling down my face. Oh, so I AM crying. Why though? It's not as if this is the first time someone has done this to me. Take my hand, whisper sugar-coated lies in my ears and when the morning comes, they're gone.
They're all gone. And I am left alone again.
"YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ALONE AND NOONE WILL EVER LOVE SOMEONE LIKE YOU!"
The voice of my last heartbreak resounded and more tears spilled down my face. What if he was right? What if that Ferret was right? Then I'd be forever alone. I was always alone to begin with and that might never change. I'll always be alone.
"NO YOU WON'T!" I looked at her in surprise. Did I say it out loud?
"I am here for you! And I will never leave you alone again!" she said defiantly.
"WHY?!" I scream in return.
"Are you trying to say that you don't regret anything?! You don't regret being used by someone you barely know? What do you even know about me? You know my favorite foods, you might know some private things about me, but do you honestly think you know me? Do you not regret getting involved with someone as pitiful as me? Please! Please…. tell me it was all just for pleasure. Please… don't make this more painful than it already is." I begged falling off my chair and onto the floor.
"I don't want to hurt anymore!"
"And I won't let you! So please, Nanoha, Trust me!" She said my name. We barely know one another and she knew me.
"I promise that I don't regret anything. I don't regret meeting you, getting drunk with you, or even sleeping with you and I will NEVER regret falling in love with you, because I Love You. Everything about you, I loved it. Your problems, successes, ups and downs. You might think that I don't know anything about you but I do, I really do. I have always watched you. How beautiful you trained all those candidates and how sweetly you instructed those kids… I know a lot about you, more than you think. I Love You and I won't leave you like all those people who aren't good enough to see how great you actually are. Those people who never took the time to get to know that great person who is Takamachi Nanoha, The person who doesn't let heartbreaks get her down, The Ace of aces, the heart of my heart. I love you, so I beg you to grant my request Nanoha. Make me whole. Please, PLEASE… fall in love with me too and let me love you" She then hugged me and I couldn't bring myself to push her away because…
"I Love You Too, Fate."
