"Nanoha-chan…Please marry me!" The blond ponytailed young man, who goes with the name of Yuno Scrya, shouted in front of me amidst all of my family, friends, passersby and musicians…
Just a moment ago, me and my friends were just walking at the sea shore, enjoying the serene view of the ocean in the middle of the night…when suddenly, Yuno-kun walked-up to us wearing a white americana with musicians on his side. He suddenly called my name and kneeled before me…taking a ring in his pocket…and asked the question you have read in the first paragraph.
"Eh?" the only response I could think of the moment…
"EH?!"
Stranger's Love
The atmosphere is really intense right now…everyone's waiting for my response but…all I could think is…
What the Heck Yuno?!
For marriage's sake! We're not dating yet! I don't remember being your girlfriend or you being my boyfriend! Yes, we're friends but that's all! What's with this proposal all of a sudden?!
What should I do? Everyone's looking at us…waiting for my response…. If I rejected him here…Yuno-kun will be…humiliated. I know it's his fault though, but we're still friends…. I should think of a way to reject him in a subtle way….
"Stupid Fate-chan! Come back here!" I heard someone shouted not far from us. I glanced where the voice came from and was stunned when I saw a COMPLETELY BEWITCHING BEAUTY of a certain blond woman wearing a black hoody and a white three inch short running for her life from a mad short-haired brunette wearing white long sleeve polo and brown pants.
I was captivated for a moment when I remembered my current predicament in front of me. Fortunately, an idea popped in my brilliant head as I stared to the sweating blond. The flaxen girl looks like a good person anyway.
I turned to the running blond towards us and waved my hand excitedly like I knew her for a long time now.
"Fate-chan!" I shouted as normal as possible. As soon as her name came-out of my mouth…a childish smile crept up to my face…. Her name sounds addicting… When the said blond looked to me bewildered though still running for her life, I continued my ongoing 'Act'. "I was waiting for you like years! What took you so long, idiot?!" I admit, calling a stranger like that is quite mean for me…but my mouth unconsciously blurted it!
The blond gave me a questioning look as well as her brunette companion but before they could have the chance to ask what's going-on and ruin my brilliant idea…I ran towards them and join their little marathon like no one's proposing to me at all.
I know I just made Yuno-kun and all my friends as well as my family stunned right at that moment…but this is the only way I know!
I smiled sheepishly as I looked to the strangers I just involved to this mess. I bowed slightly my head to the blond while we're still running and gave her an apologetic gaze. Her burgundy ones buried a mark to my amethyst. "Sorry…I just need your help right now" I whispered near to her ear.
"Fate-chan, you know her?" I heard the short-haired brunette asked to her companion. The blond shook her head and looked to me again, while we're still running.
"I'll explain everything…but could we stop for a moment?" I asked quite exhausted from all the running. The blond turned to her brunette companion then grinned slightly.
"We couldn't do that unless…Hayate will spare my life for now" the said brunette glared at the blond then just sighed deeply and slowly stopped running. I wonder what happened to them….
"Okay, could you explain it now? Uh…"
"Nanoha, Takamachi Nanoha" I finished, embarrassed that I forgot to introduce myself first. "Uhmm…that guy with me just a while ago proposed to me all of a sudden…but I just treat him as a friend…so I need to think of a way to turn him down…without embarrassing him"
"And so you pretend that you're waiting for us?" The blond asked to me as I nodded my head twice "I see…but how did you know my name? And you even called me idiot, huh?" I saw her eyebrows twitched at the word 'idiot'
"I heard miss…"
"Hayate-chan" The brunette girl, whose name I just got, said.
"Hayate-chan called you out loud not that far from us" I gave to her again my sheepish smile "And sorry for calling you 'idiot'…I just think they would believe we're close if I called you like that" not really though…it's because of my impulse.
"Well then, now that's all over…" Fate-chan and Hayate-chan turned around, starting to leave me behind "I guess it's a bye-bye then-" I cut her with my hand on hers. I blushed as I realized what I had just done so I hastily retracted my hand.
"Uhm…if I go back there all alone now…they're just going to ask me a bunch of questions of who are you and why did I leave all of a sudden…the worst case scenario is that…Yuno-kun will ask me again about the proposal so…" I paused fidgeting as I glanced to Fate-chan with a tint of red on my cheeks.
"So…?" Fate-chan asked, waiting for me to continue while curling her eyebrows yet again.
"C-could youpretendthatyou'remygirlfriendjustforamoment?" I half-shouted pretty hastily. Did I say those that fast?
"What?" is the only response I got from the blond stranger Yep, I said it that fast. I took a deep breath and decided to try again once more my plea.
"Could you pretend that you're my girlfriend just for a moment? Please?" now I matched it with puppy eyes I just learned a month ago from thorough practicing in front of the mirror. I'm really crazy for asking something like this. The two strangers looked at each other then turned to me with surprised looks. I clutched the hem of my shirt as I waited for her response.
"Pretend, huh?" the blond repeated as her shocked face turned to mischievous "That's too much to ask" I knew it…I'm really doomed tonight. "But if you could give something in return…I'll consider it" Eh? I looked up to the blond startled to what she had just said… So… she could be my… "What will you give in return?" I snapped to my thoughts as I immediately think of something they'll like in return.
"How about…I treat you in anything you want?" I asked quite nervous with my hands on my chin.
"Include me and it should be for the whole week" Hayate-chan interjected, grinning ear to ear. I turned to Fate-chan and saw her smiling; completely agreeing to the brunette. I don't mind that though….
"Deal"
Stranger's Love
"This is my girlfriend, Fate-chan"
Silence.
"What?!" everyone asked in unison, looking to us like we just stole the strawberry on their strawberry cake. Their jaw was agape and their eyes were as big as an owl's eye. Okay, maybe not that big, but almost! We're currently in the living room with my family and friends. Fate-chan's friend (I guess), Hayate-chan, said she needs to finish something so she can't accompany us with the plan.
"Stupid Hayate, wanting to participate in the treat but not in the plan" I heard the blond mumbled to her breath while having a frowned face.
"This is my girlfriend, Fate-chan" I casually repeated as I clung to the blond's arm affectionately. What's with this woman? Her scent's addicting! If I dare to close my eyes too long, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep in an instant…. Fate-chan didn't say anything, just letting me to handle the situation. "We're dating for two months now"
"B-but why you didn't tell it to us much sooner?!" my father asked frantically almost crying.
"I just…want to keep it a secret" I smiled innocently while having droplets of sweats on my forehead. "Sorry dad…and mom" I looked to my mother who was just smiling at me all this time.
"What did you see on her, Nanoha?" Yuno-kun suddenly asked that made everyone looked at him. "She looks like a crybaby" Now that's rude. I was about to scold him when the girl beside me retorted first.
"Really? Well, at least I don't look like a ferret and forces my feelings towards others" she smirked then pulled me closer to her side…letting me feel her soft skin. Yuno-kun abruptly rose from his sit with a furious face.
"Why you-!"
But before he could argue with Fate-chan, a small hand stopped him from behind. "It's really late now to have an argument about this. Let's just rest now, could we?" my mother said that made everyone of us nod our head. "Fate-chan, it's dangerous for you to wander outside now. If you want, you could sleep here"
"We have spare room, Momoko-san?" Yuno-kun asked still irritated and probably trying his best to get rid of Fate-chan. Mom just gave him a gentle smile then looked towards me.
"She could use Nanoha's room" me and the stranger blond froze on the spot I-I'm going t-to s-share room with a s-stranger?! "I guess there's no problem with that because they're already dating, just please don't be naughty okay?" Mom if you didn't notice…you're grinning like a villain now. Everyone in the living room shivered and just made their way to their respective rooms.
I looked to Fate-chan and found her looking at me too. I removed my entangled arm around hers and moved a little, we're alone in the living room. "Is it okay with you?" I asked worried visible in my eyes.
"Maybe I should be the one asking you that?" Fate-chan said as she scratched her temple, smiling sheepishly. "I mean…I'm just a stranger to you" I looked at her shocked…She's worrying about me?
"But I'm just a stranger to you too, right?" I said with a little blush on my face. She hesitantly nodded her head then smiled at me.
"Yeah, I guess? But you're slimmer than me so…" I didn't let her finish her sentence as I hastily grabbed her hand and drag her to my room. So she's thinking I'm weak?! And so what if I'm slimmer? It doesn't define my strength just by that!
As we got to my room, I immediately opened my closet and picked some T-shirt for the night. I looked at Fate-chan and she was just sitting soundly at my bed with wandering eyes, examining my room. It was just a normal four sided room, with two brown closets opposite to my normal sized bed with pink sheet and two white pillows. There's a table at the right side corner with a lamp shade and an opened notebook. The two door window with pink curtain was closed for the wind was freezing. The flooring was wooden tiles and the ceiling was pure white with only one light bulb in the middle. The restroom was at the left side adjacent to the closet.
"Just gonna take a shower, you could take too after" she turned to me as I called out to her. She just smiled and nodded her head as she slammed her body to my bed. After ten minutes in the shower I found Fate-chan still on my bed just staring at the ceiling…seems to be deep in thought. When I was about to walk-up to her, she suddenly mumbled a single word…something like…Alicia? Noticing my presence, she glanced at me and slowly sat-up from my bed.
"Done?" she asked smiling. I blushed a little bit because…I don't know…? What's with her smile? It's just a normal smile! I nodded my head dumbly avoiding eye contact. "So could I get in now?" she asked again now standing-up from the bed.
"Y-yeah, there are some cloths inside for you to change" I said still looking to the side. What's the problem with me? When I decided to finally look in front of me…I felt a sudden jolt as I came face to face with the blond stranger. She's looking at me with those deep burgundy eyes.
"You smell good" she said simply, normal, natural…but why is my face burning? Am I sick? Or Am I crazy? Probably the latter… my thoughts were cut off when I felt a light tap on my head. "Thanks, Nanoha" Yep, I'm crazy…because I couldn't control my blush anymore.
As soon as Fate-chan entered the restroom, I ran to my bed and slam my whole body face first. I shifted my position to stare at the ceiling…and let out the sigh I don't even know I was holding. I wonder what's happening to me…. I can't believe I made a big lie like this…well, its Yuno-kun's fault…if he hadn't proposed to me that time then I wouldn't came-up with this stupid act. Just three days before Christmas and my family decided to spend it in our rest house here in Kyoto. My friends, Arisa Bannings, Suzuka Tsukimura and Yuno Scrya came along with us instead of spending their Christmas on some other country outside Japan. Good thing Fate-chan's a good woman and…beautiful…I think beautiful was an understatement though…she's gorgeous! Like an angel from heaven saving me from my distress…or from the evil Yuno-kun…. She's taller than me…her long blond hair reaches her thighs…her slender body looks-
"Nanoha"
Eh? I turned my head sideward and saw who just interrupted my thoughts. It's the angel. Uh-I mean-Blond. She was still wiping her wet hair. It looks good on her… she was wearing the white T-shirt and the black three inch shorts that I lend to her. The T-shirt is kinda loose but still suits her nonetheless.
"Nanoha" she called to me again snapping me from ogling to her…Wait, I'm not ogling! "Where's your futons?" she looked around the room then to me. I tilted my head as I stared to her. Seeing my reaction, she tilted her head too.
"We don't have that" I answered typically. Then…she blushed. Why?
"Where will I sleep then?!" she practically shouted to me as she put down her towel. I tilted my head again wondering what's with her reaction.
"In my bed"
She frozed.
"In…your bed?" she asked again now curling her eyebrow in confusion. I nodded twice. "Are you sure? Nanoha?" I nodded again like an innocent child.
"You're my visitor and I practically involved you in this mess…so I couldn't let you sleep on the floor, now could I?" I smiled at her then moved a little to the left side of the bed to make space for her. I patted the space beside me and I think the blush on her face just thickens. Don't tell me she's embarrassed? Without further arguments, she climbed to my bed slowly and laid her body side wards, her back facing me.
"If you don't have a problem with it…t-then thanks" Did she just stutter? Well that's pretty cute to her… I laid down my body too and closed my eyes…letting the night engulf me… wait, I think I forgot something important…? I shut my eyes wide as I remembered the most important thing in my life. I slowly turned to the stranger beside me and hesitantly reached my hand to her back to poke her.
"Uhmm…Fate-chan…?" I softly called out, hoping that she's still awake…and if not, she won't be mad at me for disturbing her. "Are you still awake?" After three pokes on her back, she slowly turned to face me. I was about to ask her when I was suddenly mesmerized again to her deep piercing Burgundy eyes…. Our faces were so close I could almost feel her breathe against my flustered face….
"What is it, Nanoha?" she asked snapping me to reality. I turned my face to the ceiling, avoiding eye contact.
"Uh-uh…tomorrow…what should we say?" I fidget with my fingers. "I-I mean…what if mom asked us about our relationship?" When I glanced to her, I saw her put her hand on her chin.
"Yeah…I think we should plan 'this' Act this evening" she suggested as she looked to me. I nodded my head then turned my whole body to the stranger in front of me… "Okay, let's start"
Stranger's Love
I yawned as I looked to the wall clock adjacent to my bed. It's already twelve past midnight… and I think it's already snowing outside because I'm freezing like an ice. White Christmas huh… I hugged myself then turned to Fate-chan and I saw her…staring at me.
"Uh-h…y-yeah…that s-should do it" she stammered avoiding my gaze as she noticed I was staring at her too. "It's pretty late now, maybe we should sleep already?"
"Yeah…let's sleep" I murmured feeling my eyes getting heavier and heavier… but as I was about to fall asleep…my whole body practically shivered. I hugged myself tighter when I heard someone chuckled softly beside me.
"Nanoha, you can share with my body heat if you want" she said smiling to me like it was not a big deal. I blushed. Again. Is she joking or what? "Hey, don't be shy" she added as she moved closer to me…so much CLOSER. I hesitated a moment but figured it could really help me to sleep soundly…. "Can I hug you?" she whispered…tickling my ears…. I looked up to her with wide eyes but her smile was still plastered to her face…. "I really need a body heat right now too"
I didn't move for a moment…for it was really embarrassing. But as I felt the cold breeze again to my body, even though the windows are closed tightly, I slowly pulled Fate-chan to my body…. She's really warm… she pulled me closer as she rested her chin on my head…. We just met each other and we're this intimate?
"Do you treat…every stranger like this?" I murmured to her bosom. I felt her shook her head and sniff a little on my hair.
"No…I wonder though…I'm usually cold to everyone…" Why is my heart beating so fast now…? Why is it that I'm enjoying being in her arms? I moved closer to the stranger and smelled her addicting scent…the aroma of my shampoo mixed with her natural scent…I might get use to this. And before I knew it…I fell to a deep sleep with the stranger I just met a few hours ago….
