Yunno's Love
"Even though I had already decided to never write another novel, a year ago I was coerced to join The Literature club by Nanoha-sempai. And so, imprisoned by this weird nonhuman being, I am to write a story for her as a daily snack." Fate thought as she sat across Nanoha, staring out the window, mentally narrating this particular moment of her life. She unconsciously twirled a strand of her golden locks.
"Please write a scrumptious tale for your sempai, ne?" piped Nanoha with a radiant smile after she gave the daily instructions.
"As you wish," Fate responded, blatantly feigning obedience. She chose to ignore the fact that the smile was part of the reason why she remained.
"It is my sophomore year and there are not any other members. Nor is there a sign that any may be joining. Not that it is unpleasant. This is the only place in school where I can evade from my freakishly ubiquitous fan club. Still, it would be nice to have one more person in the club. Perhaps, my reception of Nanoha-sempai's mercurial personality will decrease if she has to deal with more than one person." Fate sighed. She lifted her complaining eyes to heaven. The likelihood of this occurring was very distant at the moment.
Sitting across from Fate and ignoring Fate's discontent, Nanoha basked in her literary happiness (and in the presence of peeved one).
"Fufufufu. While published works, such as Ougai's and Souseki's, have that cultivated sense, amateurs have that innocent charm from being inexperienced. I especially love works written by hand. The sentences are like a flowing stream and reading them is like dipping your hand in for a refreshing drink!" said Nanoha. Her elbows were on the desk and her hands cupped her face. Nanoha wanted to check if she were really alive and experiencing such joyful emotions. Literature tended to have that effect on her or, perhaps, it was a certain curious sentiment she had felt for over a year.
Then, Nanoha closed her eyes and elaborated, "And it feels as if I am biting into a fresh picked tomato or cucumber. That slightly earthly taste is so wonderfully delicious."
"So my stories are like tomatoes or cucumbers...?" Fate inquired mentally. She was feeling particularly fatigued from evading her numerous suitors. Hence, she did not care to vocalize her thought.
Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the club room door.
"Excuse meee" stated a male voice. The stranger fumbled with the doorknob.
Unfortunately, when the door opened the rather clumsy stranger introduced himself by falling face-first on the floor.
"Kyahn~" yelped the male, whose masculinity diminished at the moment as he fell.
"Hau..." whimpered the stranger as he attempted to rise.
He tried to steady himself by gripping the nearby stack of books in the club room. Unfortunately, the book stacks were not a cohesive entity. Hence, he accidentally clutched a book from the pile. His surprise and lack of balance, disturbed the other books, causing the books to topple onto him.
"Hyah!" was the unfortunate stranger's final word before becoming buried.
"Ouch," stated both girls, simultaneously. They winced. When the chaos cleared, they peeked at the pile for signs of life. They heard a rustling noise.
"Hau...ha...my nose," he said as he sniveled. Tears formed in his eyes.
The scene was so ridiculous that Fate had difficulty containing her laughter.
She noticed that the newcomer's glasses were lying on the floor, so she picked them up and handed them to their owner with an affable smile, hoping to assuage the weeping stranger. She moved aside for Nanoha.
Concerned, Nanoha rushed over to the stranger. "There. There. Everything will be fine." she said as she petted the blubbering stranger with one hand and held a tissue with the other.
"Um. I am class 1-2's Yunno Scrya." said Yunno after a minute, after accepting the tissue for his nose.
"Ah," Nanoha said, showing that she was attentive to his troubles.
Then, with a desperate look Yunno said, "Please, make my love come true!" He was still sprawled on the floor. That only emphasized his pitiful state.
"Oh no. Is he one of them?" Fate thought as she pictured her throng of ardent admirers. Regardless, she helped Yunno up. She released him as soon as he was upright. He was slightly taller than Fate and Nanoha, despite being a first year.
"I think he is in the wrong club." Fate said to Nanoha. Nanoha was lost in thought trying to recall something...
"Nanoha will find a way to scare him away. Maybe she can frighten all of them away." she thought, consoling herself. She pictured her sempai with horns and a forked tail, enlarging, and giving the bothersome crowd one of her daunting glares. In her mind's eye, the throng screamed in terror and ran for their lives. "My hero..." thought Fate.
"No~! I saw the postbox so I came!" said Yunno excitedly, already forgotten his accident.
Fate snapped out of her daydream, dismissing her final thought as a result of her tiredness. "Postbox?" repeated Fate, confused and slightly relieved that he was most likely not one of them, since he did not mention her after mentioning his love.
Nanoha gasped, clearly remembering something. Fate's eyes narrowed, expecting that the new development would be detestable.
"It was over on the tree in the corner of the courtyard. It was almost as if it were hidden. But, anyway, I saw it and it hit me like BAM! or CLICK~. I took it as a sign from above. I am sorry for not writing that letter but I ran straight here. I remember every word on it. It said, 'We write love letters. We will help you with your love life. Please mail us if you are interested. By the Literature Club'" recounted Yunno excitedly.
"So the one responsible for this is-" Fate thought with a sense of dread. "Takamichi-sempai." stated Fate icily.
Already greeting the newcomer, Nanoha jubilantly said, "Welcome. I am the club leader, Nanoha Takamichi. Thank you so much for coming. Just leave it to us. The entire Literature Club will support you." She took one of his hands with both of hers and shook it.
"I am so moved." said a relieved Yunno. The feminine boy was on the verge of sobbing from happiness. Nanoha handed him another tissue.
Happiness and understanding had spread to everyone but Fate. She walked back to the table and continued her writing piece.
"In exchange, there is one condition." said Nanoha with an ominously serious demeanor.
Yunno willed his tears to halt and listened attentively.
"I would like you to present a periodic report detailing your progress." It was an nonnegotiable condition.
"Eh. But I am not very good at writing essays." Yunno pointed out worriedly. That was actually true. In fact, teachers have found Yunno's reports too technical for them to understand.
"It's fine. Just write about what happened and how you felt at the time," said Nanoha reassuringly. Her mood changed once again.
Nanoha then turned from Yunno and began her discourse in a dialectic manner. "Oddly enough, the heartfelt words of a person who normally does not write often can really pierce the hearts and minds of the reader, more than works that are technically well done," said the Literature Girl.
Then, Nanoha became deliriously ecstatic as she continued, "Love is such a sweet and tasty topic...Oh, don't mind me, just proceed with the report." Her hand was close to her mouth as though she was preparing to wipe the drool that resulted from anticipating the delectable report.
"It's a promise." said Nanoha, affably, as she turned and linked pinkies with the first year male. It was as if she were an astute and devious salesperson sealing a deal.
"Most importantly, typing is not allowed. The report must be on paper," added the literature connoisseur. Yunno nodded eagerly.
Then, Nanoha blissfully dazed off, indulging herself in fantasizing about her impending snack.
Fate glared at her sempai. "So that was her goal. Were my stories not enough for her? She is such a glutton," Fate thought, as she stifled a smile. She could not help but be slightly amused by Nanoha's antics. "It is kind of endearing...minus her occasional White Devil persona..." Fate thought.
"Wait. I did not just conceive that thought," Fate mentally insisted, as she frowned.
Pleased with the arrangement, Yunno happily stated, "Okay~! I will write lots and lots for my report then."
Upon hearing that Fate smirked, "With the amount of reports Takamichi-sempai will be getting, I will not need to write my stories anymore." At that moment, Fate finished the story of the day, expecting it to be her last.
As if sensing Fate's thoughts, Nanoha beamed as she said, "Rest assured. Fate-chan will write a magnificent love letter for you Yunno-kun."
The papers Fate were gleefully preparing to submit slipped from her hands. Fate did not foresee that.
Controlling her irritation, Fate turned to Nanoha stating coolly, "I do not remember agreeing to this. I have never written anything close to a love let-"
Nanoha shot Fate one of her silencing glares.
Nanoha turned back to Yunno-kun. "Currently, Fate-chan has written hundreds of love letters. So we shall leave this to the expert, ne?."
Fate did not want to risk that look again. The glare's intensity left her knees were shaking.
"Wah! I will leave it up to you then, Fate-sempai!" said an overjoyed Yunno. He was about to envelop Fate in an embrace, but he stopped himself. He too feared Fate's gargantuan fan club. There were rumors that they could discern her scent from anywhere. If they found out that he hugged her...Yunno did want to imagine all the horrible things that they may do out of jealousy. Moreover, he felt an immensely intimidating dark aura emanating from the Literature Club's president, discouraging him from the action.
"Yep. It will be perfect. Right, Fate-chan?" said Nanoha, merrily.
Fate reluctantly nodded. She found herself wondering why this Literature Girl/White Devil had so much power over her.
"Why does it feel like deju vu? Why did I just agree to write as the opposite gender, again?" Fate thought, vexed with the sudden turn of events.

I will also be writing another crossover with a better known anime. Maybe I will post it later tonight. To whoever is interested, look forward to it ;)
