Title: Agents of the TSAB.
Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I do not own MGLN, and I never will.
Nanoha's POV:
It only took one week, exactly seven days for Fate Testarossa to ingrain herself in my daily life. With her smirks and playful teases she has become a huge part of my life and I cant even remember what it was like before she came. She has easily become one of my best friends, and it's all because she is who she is. It's the small things she does for me that shows her inner kindness, like the muffin and fresh cup of coffee that she leaves on my desk every morning because she found out I don't eat a proper breakfast, that made her become my friend.
It's also the was she is so considerate of my feelings. She seems to always know what I am feeling and takes action in accordance with it. Like yesterday when I got into a fight with Alisa-chan she calmed me down and fixed the problem. I am still amazed at how she can tell immediately when I am having a problem and come to the rescue no madder what the problem is.
She's like wonder woman on crack and I cant help but wonder what she hides in those lonely eyes. She comes to work everyday and smiles and teases but there is a deep sense of loneliness about her. And it's like she doesn't want anyone to know about it. Which only adds the the mystery that surrounds her. I would give anything to see into that mind of hers for only a minuet, but she never talks about herself.
"Nanoha?" I cracked one eye open to see a sleepy Yunno looking at me. "Come closer." I rolled over and Yunno wrapped his warm arms around me in a tight embrace. I sighed as I snuggled closer to his warmth.
But as much as I love her kindness and her mystery when you couple them with that body they are driving me crazy! I cant even sleep anymore, the most sleep I get on a daily bases is like one hour. Even when I am asleep she is haunting my dreams, those lonely red orbs seem to be around every corner.
I sighed and opened my eye. The alarm clock read 6:23. I don't have to be at work until eight but I'm not getting any sleep. I should just get up. "Yunno."
"What is it, love?" He asked still half asleep.
"I'm going to go home and get a change of clothes." I removed his arms from around me and slid out of bed.
"Do you want me to walk you there?" He asked drowsily while sitting up in bed.
"No, I'll be fine." I said as I looked around the room for my clothes. I quickly pulled them on when I found them. " Just stay in bed. I'll see you later."
"Are you sure?" He said now a little awake. "I don't mind going with you."
"It's fine, Yunno." I said as I button the last button on my work top and readjusted my skirt. "You need your sleep. Don't you have to go to the main office in the morning?" He nodded his head in affirmation. "See you need your sleep. It will be harder to talk to the higher ups if you are sleepy. I'll see you at work before you go to the airport."
"Okay." He said finally giving up. "I'll see you then."
"Night." I said as I closed his bed room door.
I looked up at the dingy apartment complex that held my current home. It was two stores of leaky plumbing, tacky paint, and rusty stair wells. It's good to be home.
And they wonder why I stay at Yunnos.
I sighed as I made my way up the rickety stair case to the second floor of the complex. It was still dark so I had to be careful not to step on one of the rusted parts and fall through. It happened to some old lady last year and that took us back one stair case so now everyone has to use this one.
You would think that this would be some kind of health violation but no we are just within the law. Now if one more bathroom floods we may have a serious problem because the landlords would have to fix up this shit hole . And they are too cheap to do it, and I don't get paid enough to fix up my own place.
Even if I am one of the best agents the TSAB they wont give me a raise. The cheap bastards.
I smiled when I made it to the safety of the second floor landing. I made it to my apartment and opened the door only to see that my furniture had been moved around or in some places was completely gone, and that my dingy two bed room apartment's living room looked nice.
In place of my old crappy gray love seat there was a wrap around black leather sofa. The sofa was placed so that it almost completely went around the large mahogany coffee table in the center of the room. And in the corner of the room directly angled so that you could see it best from the couch was a large flat screen TV.
Um, what the hell? Who redid my living room? And what it that sound?
I quickly made my way to the kitchen where I was heard a sizzling noise coming from. And I walked in on my blonde partner cooking breakfast in her Pj's. She stood there in a purple tee-shirt and very short white shorts, frying bacon and making eggs. She turned her red eyes on me briefly before putting two pieces of toast in my toaster.
Then she turned to me fully. "Would you like some breakfast?" She asked with a slight tilt of her head.
Is this some kind of alternate reality? Did I walk into the twilight zone or am I dreaming?
"But I think you should wash last nights sex off of you before you eat, so you should go take a shower." She said as she looked down at me with a frown.
"I didn't have sex." I said automatically. Just a really long make out session. I looked down at my crumpled clothes and blushed. I see why she thinks I had sex, they are a mess from being thrown on the floor before I fell asleep.
"If you say so." She said skeptically. "But you should still take a shower before you eat."
"Okay.." I turned to walk out of the kitchen, Wait...what? I spun around to face Fate-chan again. "What are you doing in my apartment?"
"Don't you mean our apartment, we are room mates. Hayate gave me the keys the first day I came to Japan." Fate-chan said with a sad shake of her head. "I would think that you would know that."
"No, Hayate-chan said that you would be moving in next door to my apartment. She never said anything about you moving in!" I said while waving my arms.
"Calm down, and stop waving your arms we are not on a plane run way." Fate-chan said in a authoritative voice. "Just go take a shower and we will talk this out over breakfast."
"Fine." I feel like my mother just ordered me to do something.
After the shower.
"So, tell me what Hayate-chan told you about our living arrangements." I watched Fate-chan put food on two plates and carry them over to the table. She was in her white work shirt, a black skirt, and black panty hoes covered her long slim legs. She must have changed while I was in the shower.
"It's American breakfast today. I hope you don't mind." She said as she sat the plat down in front of me and sat down across from me. "I'm from Japan but I have lived in America for so long that I forgot how to make Japaneses dishes." She said with a smile.
"It's fine, thanks for the food." I said as I dug in, it was great! "Wow, this is good."
"That's good. So I haven't lost my touch, wouldn't want to disappoint." She said with a wink in my direction.
I rolled my eyes but smiled. " Back to the main topic."
"Right, Hayate told me that she had planned on me moving in next door but the landlord had leased the place out already. So she gave me her spare for your place and said that you wouldn't mind if I stayed here." She took a bite of food and looked at me expectantly.
" Hayate-chan didn't inform me that you would be staying here." I said with a sigh. It is something she would do though.
"She probable didn't tell you because your never here." Fate-chan said after a bite of food. "I have been here a week and this is the first time that you've been here."
"Well she still should of told me." I looked up into amused red eyes. "What?"
"I think that it's funny." She said with a large smile. "The people we work with really like screwing with you." She said pointing her fork at me for emphases.
"That's because I have known most of them my whole life and they know I wont stay mad at them for very long."
"So is it okay if I stay here?" She asked.
"Yes, it will be fun to have a roommate." I said with a smile. Wait, this is actually a big problem. I cannot have her living with me that's... it's like living with temptation. I watched the red eye beauty take another bite of her food before she looked at me.
"So I heard that Yunno is going to the main HQ. Does that mean that you are going to be staying here?"
"Yeah, I guess. Unless we are called in for a mission." I ate another bite of my food and spoke again. " It has been really slow this past week. We haven't had any jobs." Not even the nasty ones. Like when I had to clean out the construction workers out houses. Because we are the TSAB we will help you no madder what the problem is. And they do mean whatever your problem is.
"I thought that it was always like that, in the main offices." Fate-chan said with a shrug. "In the shadow unit we were always busy."
"What was it like in the shadow unit?" I have heard some pretty gruesome story's about them.
A dark shadow passed across Fate-chan's beautiful face. "It was bad. I have done some things for them that I am not proud of." Her normal mischievous smile was replaced with a frown. "I have only one thing to say about it and that is if they ever offer you a position in don't accept it. It's not something that someone like you could do."
"What am I not strong enough?" I asked slightly irked that she didn't think I could do it.
"No, you are definitely strong enough." She said seriously. "It's just that you are too kind to do some of the more gruesome jobs."
"Fate-chan your acting like I am a child. I have killed before, it's not something that I am proud of but I have done it."
" I know but somethings are far worse then killing." She gave me a small sad smile before she stood up. "I need to finish getting ready for work."
What are you hiding Fate-chan?
I posted this in my other story but for those of you who don't read it, I have started school again so I cant update as often. But I am going to try and update this story once every other day, and on the days I not updating this story I will be updating my other NanoFate story, Her Love. I cant make any promises but I will try my best to keep with this schedule.
Anyways thanks for reviewing and a big thanks goes out to all of those people who have put my story in there favorites. This was more of a filler chapter but I hope that you liked it and if you hated it tell me why. So I can make it less hate worthy next time.
