Walking to school, Nanoha recounted the previous events, until a certain blue haired interrupted her chain of thoughts. "NANOHA CHAN!," she screamed as she reached Nanoha and gave her a pat of the shoulder.
"You know the thing I wanted to show you, after we left Fate's house?"
"…yeah, the one on your phone."
"I printed copies out for you…" She said as she handed out an envelope to Nanoha who hesitantly received it.
"What is it?"
"You're see…see ya." Subarus exclaimed as she ran towards the school gate where Teana was waiting.
Nanoha proceeded to open the pristine envelope when *RING* the school bell went off. "I'm late!" Nanoha said as she sprinted to her classroom, holding the envelope in her left hand.

Nanoha POV
After school, I scrambled to my locker to retrieve my shoes like always. I was not in the mood to do meet anyone, I never knew having Fate ignore me would feel so excruciating and painful, so painful I-
"YO Nanoha chan," a voice said as it headed over towards me. "Guess what," she continued."I know all about you now."
I turned around, surprised to hear those words coming out from a student whom I have only met for 3 days. "What?"
"According to the information given to me by all your fellow friends and boyfriend, I would say this is what happened." I continued to listen, curious to what she might say. " You have loved Yunno, all your life, and finally your feelings was reciprocated and you guys went out. Right?"
"Y-Yeah." What is she up to?
" Then along those lines, you met Prince…and you fell for him. You decided to be a two timer and ask him out."
"H-How do you know all this…wait I'm not a two ti…I-"
"I saw you with Prince…the other day." She smirked. I turned my back to her and was about to leave when she stopped me. "Wait and listen." Her glare was horrifying.
I waited.
"But you found out Fate was dating Prince and so you held a grudge on Fate and broke your friendship with her. You imbecile."
"What?"
"You hurt her, just for one guy, you break Fate's heart! Do you know how much she has done for you? Who was always there for you? Who supported you? You didn't even thank her, instead you criticized her appearance and told her how you hated her."
I stayed slient, partly because I wanted to hear more, but mostly because what this brunette was saying was the truth. Wait…but how did she know all this?
"How'd you know all this?"
"Suba-doesn't matter how I know. What matters is that you got to get your feelings sorted. You don't even like Yunno. And you know Fate, she's been crying your stupid name every night. Wake up Takamachi Nanoha." I was stunned, shamed and I knew what was next, as Hayate swung her arms back. I close my eyes waiting for the slap when we heard a voice. I opened my eyes and saw Fate holding Hayate's arm to stop her attack. "What are you doing?"
"F-Fate." Hayate wimpered out.
"Don't do things like that to Takamachi san ever again, okay. She hasn't done anything wrong."
Takamachi…san? Oh right, this was my doing aswell…I really hate myself.
"But Fat-"
"Sigh, Let's go home, Hayate chan." Hearing those comforting words, made my heart warm, but having those warm words not said to be just made me depressed and it felt painful.
"Yes!" Hayate said with a huge smile as she pushed herself towards Fate and planted a kiss on Fate's lips. "Seriously?" "I love you Fate!" "Sigh." With that they left and headed for the exit.
"…Fate…Sorry." I cried as river of tears exited my tear gland, my heart burnt as the feeling depression and shame embraced me. I wanted to say I was the one that loved Fate, I wanted to be the one hugging her, I wanted to be the one kissing her.
As I was walking back home, the rain started pouring. I kept walking, not making any effort to get home faster, however to my dismay I tripped and landed in a pool of mud. Every item from my bag poured out…even the once pristine envelope.

Third POV
Nanoha checked her phone situated on my beside table, 2:36am. She went back to her originated position of lying on her bed and once again thought about her doings and stupid acts. That was when she realised something, so she scrambled out from my bed and searched in her bag for the now brown and messy envelope. Grabbing hold of her item, she turned on her beside light and carefully opened it.
Inside were a couple of photos. She took the first one out for a closer look. Her eyes widen as the photo was of Fate, carrying Nanoha back towards the cabin. Subaru was accurate in description of Fate she was literally wearing nothing, her clothes were al used to bandage none other than Nanoha. Nanoha flipped through the others, they were all of Fate taking care of Nanoha, such as watching her sleep. Although the photos were not clear, and Fate's face was hidden in the shadows in every picture, Nanoha could feel the love, compassion that flowed through. Nanoha had looked through the 5 photos for almost 10 times and each time made her heart ache more and more, tears started and she cried sliently in bed with the photos held close to her heart. She could still remember her own words. "She only saved me because it was her fault, besides anyone could of have done what she did" She was wrong so wrong, and she knew it.
As she fell asleep, she had one thought in mind. I'm going to set everything right tomorrow.

"Yunno, I have something to tell you…" Nanoha said as she looked up at Yuuno
"Yeah, what is it honey?" Yuuno said with a smile
"The thing is…It's not working"
"What's not working?" Yuuno said with another innocent smile on his face.
"Us."
"Hmm?"
"Let's break up."
"Hmm?"
"Let's break up…it's me, not you."
"I heard you…You're dumping me?"
"Sorry." Nanoha murmured, her head held down.
The tree leaves bristled in the wind, and the slient was soon broken by Yuuno who forced himself on Nanoha.
"I-I love you Nanoha chan." He said between the kisses.
"StMphop it" Nanoha tried.
During their kiss, a certain blonde walked passed, and she smiled at the couple's affection, before walking away. No one knew, but the blonde's heart felt like it was stabbed several times.
Watching the retreating blonde, Nanoha glared at Yunno and slapped him hard. "Stop it. I know I've been a jerk all this time, and I'm sorry. But I…I don't love you anymore. If we don't break it up now, you'll get hurt even more."
"Who is it?"
"What?" Nanoha asked in confusion.
"It's Prince, isn't it?"
"No, it isn't."
"Then who is it?"
"No one."
"I don't believe you." He said as he raised his arm.
Nanoha instantly closed her eyes. When she heard the same voice which saved her a little too much.
"Believe her then." the calm voice said.
"I know it's someone…I love Nanoha…I just want to know why I'm not good enough…" He cried out.
Feeling empathy towards Yunno, and having no choice, Fate pulled Nanoha towards her so that their lips were inches apart. Fate first stretched her mask a little and kissed the clueless brunette. "It's me." The blonde said coolly
"I'm glad it's not that jerk, Prince. Congrats." Yuuno smiled and ran away.
Seconds later, Fate followed Yuuno's footsteps and walked back to class, but was stopped by a ever so blushing brunette who held onto her arm. "F-Fate…Im-" Before Nanoha could finish her sentence, the blonde pulled away and briskly walked away, with her hands covering her blushing and red face that she had no desire of letting everyone see.
Nanoha slumped back to the tree behind her, her blush was still evident and her heart silently cheered.
(Watashi no Oujisama)
After school, Nanoha decided to rectify her relationship with Fate and tell her about Prince, so she followed Fate to the lockers and grabbed Fate's arm before she could leave.
"Fate…I need to talk to you."
"…"
Still holding onto Fate's arm, Nanoha continued. "I'm sorry, Fate…I know a sorry can't change much, but I wish that you may forgive me. I'm sorry for being a idiot and not listening to you."
"Is that it?"
"Fate-chan…please forgive me. I…I" Nanoha couldn't take it anymore and she swung herself on to Fate and embraced her.
"T-T-T-Takamachi?"
Nanoha swung Fate around and placed her index finger on Fate's lips. "Na-no-ha…please."
Fate blushed and all Nanoha could think about was Fate is absolutely adorable when she's troubled.
"Fate…Takamachi's fine…but I have something to tell you….um…you know Prince…"
"You want to get back with him?"
"No. It's just that he was cheating on you."
"me?" Fate pointed to herself.
"I saw him embracing a-another girl."
What am I supposed to say in this situation…I'm dating Prince…myself…how am I supposed to act…sigh. "We broke up."
"REALLY!...so now you're single, right?"
"Um y-"
"NO SHE IS NOT,"Exclaimed Hayate who appeared out of nowhere. "So don't you dare go touching MY Fate! Hmph let's go Fate." She said as she dragged Fate out. But before Nanoha could let Fate out, she needed to confirm one thing. "Fate!"
Fate turned around.
"I'm sorry."
Fate's mask was in the way but, it was obvious to Nanoha that, that was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. She blushed at that and it intensified as Fate spoke.
"…Nanoha…"
"Fate~" Hayate wined
"Hai, hai." Fate said as she turned back to Hayate.
"What are we having tonight?"
"What do you want…"
The voices faded as they walked further.
Tonight? Hayate lives with Fate? And sleeps with her? Nanoha thought as she recalled her previous conversations with Hayate. Butterflies filled her stomach.
She giggled to herself.
I really have fallen for Fate-chan.
