A/N: OK guys… Thanks once again for your reviews and all. Oh, I'd like to try and explain some stuff… especially to for your first ummm… should I call it correction or complaint… nevermind. For your first question: Did I write those scenes to be funny? Well not exactly… I just write whatever pops into my head. Although I don't find them funny myself, I do find them amusing because it's quite odd and what not. It's like when my friend told me to write her a tragedy story and I ended up making it a comedy, so sorry 'bout that. Next: I don't really get the first part but I guess I get confused when I write randomly, as for the later part, yeah I get it. Third: yeah English isn't my mother tongue either, but I've been watching English shows and reading books since I was young. Your English is pretty great actually. Compared to other people I know, it's pretty good. For the guest that asked about where this is held… I actually never thought of it beforehand. I guess earth because of the thug part. Hehe. Well then, now that that is done… on to the story. Just tell me if you are confused with anything and I'll try to answer you by placing it in the AN or by PMing you. Akemashite omedeto gozaimasu! Oh and this will be told from Fate's point of view.

Fate's POV
I've been sitting on the same seat for 2 hours thinking… What is love without trust?
It's been 3 days since Nanoha was hospitalized, yet she still remains in deep slumber. The doctors told me she was fine and that all she needed was rest. It's been 3 days! How much "Rest" do you need Nanoha? I sat beside Nanoha's bed for the umpteenth time today. Nanoha has been talking and mumbling in her sleep about certain things that I know she would never tell me, had she been conscious. Frankly, this made me quite upset, seeing that Nanoha still did not trust me fully. I know that I have no right to reprimand her for not trusting me fully, based on what just happened recently, but still… How will I know if you won't tell me? I can never tell if you are sad or lonely, insecure and in need of a warm hug. I'm just not good at reading people, especially you. However, you can read me like a toddler's story book. You comfort me, even when I try my very best to hide my sadness. You are never too tired to put up with me and my antics. You already know I love you. Who wouldn't? You're perfect in every way, you're beautiful, talented, smart, strong, but you are also humble and modest. You don't show off. So why do you still question my love for you? Don't you know? I'd go everywhere do everything just for YOU. Why can't you trust me?
"Fate-chan…" I turn and look at Nanoha. She began to cringe and grab at the bedsheets, while I approached her from my seat. "Fate-chan…" I see tears forming in Nanoha's eyes. Why is she crying? Why is she calling my name? Do is hurt her? Even in her dreams, that insecurity she has is still there?
"Fate-chan, Please… PLEASE!" Please… what, Nanoha? What are you trying to tell me? I unconsciously replied. "Please don't leave me Fate-chan!" Nanoha exclaimed, arms in the air, as if she was chasing after something, someone. I knew who that someone was of course, if her yells were any indication.
I won't leave you, silly. I try to tell her while I caress her cheek. I feel her body relax under my touch. I was surprised when she suddenly grabbed my hand and held it to her face. "Thank you." For a second, I was motionless. I tried to see if I woke her up, but she was fast asleep and still holding onto my hand. I immediately continued to caress her cheek her hair as she slept peacefully once again. One word registered in my mind.
Thank you.
It was the same word she told me when I found her. Why Nanoha? Even if I hurt you, you… you… Why do you thank me?
"Because you make me happy, Fate-chan." I stand in my chair all at once, pulling my hand away. I turn to see disappointed sapphire eyes staring into my own burgundy. Hot and Cold colors clash and we hold our stare. I began to nervously shift my feet. Nanoha breaks the tense atmosphere.
"Mou~ … Fate-chan, you're so mean. I just woke up and you treat me like a zombie that rose from the grave…"
"I-I'm sorry Nanoha. Have you been awake this whole time?"
"No. I just woke up." Nanoha told me rubbing the back of her head sheepishly.
"Nanoha, I need to talk to you about something." I swallow all my fears, or I try to do so. I choke on my saliva, because I literally did swallow my fears.
"Fate-chan! Are you alright?!" Nanoha tries to stand, but I signal for her to stay in bed. She can't get out anyways, whether or not she wants to.
"Ok…" I move my chair forward so that I am beside Nanoha and I take her hands in mine and hold them tightly.
"Fate… chan?" She looks hesitant and I gulp very loudly.
Nanoha…. Please tell me what your dream was about.
"W-what dream are you talking about? Ahaha… Don't be silly Fate." Nanoha began to fiddle with her fingers.
"Tell me! How am I supposed to know what's bothering you if you don't tell me?! This is why I hate being away from you with another person. You don't trust me enough!" I began yelling as I stood up, pointing an accusing finger at Nanoha.
"How can I Fate?! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR ME? EVERYONE LOVES YOU! How am I supposed to stay calm? You're not the one who can see the lust or love-filled looks directed towards you. I see it!" I look at the monitor and panic. Nanoha's heart rate increased. This is bad.
"If you can't understand why I am so insecure then-"
"Nanoha, Calm Down!" I scream.
"Why should I?! You will never understand Fate! You're perfect while I'm… I'm… I'm not right for you!"
"Who told you that?! You know I love you and only you! Why do you still doubt that?!"
"What is going on here!?" A nurse suddenly burst into the room stopping me and Nanoha from continuing our debate. "Ma'am, Please let the patient rest."
"But-" I still don't have my answer from Nanoha. We are not done yet.
"Go Fate." Nanoha looked down, her bangs covering her eyes.
"Fine." I close the door behind me and leave. So much for a peaceful confrontation.
A/N: No need to tell me… this chapter is shorter. I know… I haven't updated hehe. Everyone here's the new chapter. I have a headache now… well. Happy New Year Minna! Hope this is a good enough chapter. Please continue to take care of me. Right now everything seems… odd, but I'll try to fix it if it needs fixing. Love ya all!
