"…"

A light pink blush tinged the Instructor's cheeks as she stared blankly at the smiling face of her girlfriend.

The enforcer bit back a small smile as she saw her girlfriend's flustered expression.

"Nanoha," she tried again softly, "Hai, aahn~" [Say Ahh~]

"A-Ano….Fate-chan…" The brunette fumbled to reach the bowl, to which the bowl rose higher in the air. "I-I can do it myself you know…." Nanoha trailed off embarrassedly, hands resting on her lap clutching the blankets tighter; she averted her gaze from the blonde.

"Da~me. Mou, sakki tabesateta no ni…" Fate said with a sigh as she lowered the bowl down onto her lap. [No can do~/etc.(geez) you let me feed you before…]

"!" Nanoha's eyes popped open; she swore she saw a pair of puppy ears on her girlfriend droop in disappointment. She brought her hand to her eyes, bangs hiding her eyes as a smile graced the slightly flushed cheeks.

Puppy ears!

She let out a small laugh. "Nyahaha…seriously, what's this fever doing to me…?" She looked up to her still downcast girlfriend. The brunette blinked a few times. Hard.

. . . they're still there… Nanoha paused in mid-reach to touch the puppy ears. …But maybe having a Fate-chan puppy isn't so bad~….Nanoha smiled as she gently touched the soft blonde hair. She swore she saw the ears twitch upon contact.

"Fate-chan."

Ah, the ears perked up…

The blonde lifted her head slowly, revealing deep burgundy eyes filled with a mix of concern and worry, a small questioning pout in the blonde's expression as no other words were spoken.

BA-THUMP!

WOAH! Nanoha blushed profusely at the potency of that pouty puppy dog expression, free hand clutching her chest as her heart skipped a beat; her other hand tracing and gently lingering on Fate's cheek.

"…Nanoha?" Fate gently grasped the hand on her cheek with one of her own.

"Eh? Ah…" Nanoha slowly loosened her hand from Fate's grasp, bringing it back to rest on her lap as she fought down another blush.

She squeezed her eyes shut and gripped the blankets. "A-Aaahn..." She stuttered, voice barely projecting.

The puppy ears perked up as did the Enforcer's expression, a blush of happiness tinting the blonde's cheeks. Nanoha looked shyly up at her girlfriend, ears still very much there and currently very attentive; if Fate had a tail she was sure it'd be wagging in excitement (not that she could tell).

"Fate-chan?" Fate had fallen silent, face downcast as she gently set the bowl aside, hands in her lap.

A twinge of worry pulled at Nanoha's mind.

"Eeto….did I happen to say something wrong…?" [eeto = umm]

From what she could gather, the blonde was trembling slightly, ears quivering slightly as the blonde stayed motionless.

"…A-ano, Fa-!" With a soft whump, the brunette found herself gently pushed onto her back onto to the bed, a certain blonde Enforcer gently hugging her tightly, face nuzzling into the crook of the Instructor's neck.

Nanoha lay there shell-shocked for a moment, not sure what to make of the current situation. She gently stroked the blonde's head, not disliking the snuggling form of her girlfriend against her.

"Nanohaaa~" Fate whispered lovingly as she slowly got up on her arms, blonde hair softly tickling the brunette's face.

The blonde smiled and brought her face closer to the brunette's, whose blush intensified and whose eyes squeezed shut in anticipation.

Only blonde hair tickled the brunette's lips, the Enforcer having brought her lips next to her girlfriend's ear. Nanoha felt a shiver travel down her spine as Fate gently kissed her ear.

The soft voice of the Enforcer echoed loudly in the Instructor's ears as Fate whispered into her ear.

"I love you."


A/N: ….*peeks out from behind the door* K-Konbanwa…YH desu…..*bows and runs behind door* I've been on a hiatus…..yes….-_-…. Let's just say….life? Yeah…well I decided to finish this one with FLUFF. Well in all honesty there are all sorts of fluffy endings but for now I decided to end this one with this flavor of fluff! Maybe they're be a fic in the future about when Fate's not feeling so hot, but I don't know I'd have to think about that. Well, I'm working slowly but surely on updating my ShizNat fics as well as possibly starting new NanoFate or MihoHisa fics…hmm…need to think on that. "Life" still has a sense of humor a ha ha ha…. As always, please feel free to review/comment! Hope you enjoyed your stay!
