Recess: Weekend getaway
"So, in short, you want me to go out on a date with Nanoha?" Fate asked, unsure of what she just recently heard.
Before the blond, two sexy females stood with pride and mischief. Though the latter is a bit discreet. Both nodded their head confirming that the blond wasn't hearing things.
The woman with seafoam colored hair and dressed in a casual blue floral sundress, she calmly sipped her tea while her daughter was giving her a look of disbelief. "Ofcourse dear. Oh don't look like you have'nt gone out on a date before and besides, it's your mother's idea." Said her mom, Lindy Harlaown.
Dressed in a light purple long-sleeved blouse and a blue skirt, Fate's biological mother, Precia Testarossa, gave her daughter a stoic nod. Her focus was more on the paper on her hand than looking at Fate's flabbergasted expression when Lindy told her about the 'date' suggestion. She didn't deny what her wife just told Fate and just continued to analyze the report on her hand.
Excitement filled Fate's body and she glomped on her dark haired mother. She gave Precia a quick kiss on her cheek before skipping out of the living area to the kitchen where Nanoha was busy baking a new batch of cookies. "Nanoha! Let's go out!" she said happily.
Lindy found the antics of her stepdaughter quite adorable. The way Fate's eyes lit up with passion and love. Something they haven't seen in a few years before their daughter met the Japanese teen.
"What's amusing you my sweet?" Precia asked with a small smirk on her face. She placed the papers on the table and scooted to her wife's side and wrapped her arms around Lindy's waist before giving her a chaste kiss on the cheek.
Lindy giggled shyly. "Well I never thought you are going to suggest that Fate should go out with Nanoha. Not without me threatening you to sleep on the couch that is."
The dark-haired woman blushed at the thought of her wife's usual threat to her. "You know I can't go against you. Anyway, I just feel like they're too cooping up here and needed some fresh air away from us. They may already be married but I want that daughter-in-law of mine to still feel like a teenager." She admitted.
"So it's for Nanoha's sake and not Fate's?" Lindy asked with a grin.
Precia frowned and let go of her hug from her wife. She crossed her arms under her breasts and huff a displeased breath. "I have enough of dealing with Fate's Casanova antics in Italy. She needs to focus and face the fact that she is MARRIED." She stressed on the term married. Being Fate's mother and dealing with her antics, she felt the relief of seeing someone putting a leash on her daughter. Someone she can trust and consider as her own daughter. "Besides…" she smiled softly when her daughter and Nanoha were going upstairs. She can see Fate smiling widely and genuinely as she pushed Nanoha to her room and Fate going on her own aswell. "Who can deny anyone who made Fate to smile like that? It had been years since we saw it." She told her wife. She felt herself on the verge of tears as she remembers Fate's smile.
Knowing Precia's meaning in her words, Lindy pulled her in a warm embrace. "Yeah. I know she's happy that Fate is smiling once again. So can my wife smile now too?" she cooed. She engulfed her wife in her arms as she comforted her.
"Yeah." Precia answered, smiling softly.
~30 minutes later~
"EW! Mom! Mother! Get a room!" Fate said, interrupting her parents' lovey-dovey time. She showed her parents a grim expression when both turned and look at her. Her grim expression though didn't last long as she felt a painful pinch from her side.
"Be nice Fate-chan!" Nanoha scolded her wife. She bowed apologetically to Fate's parents and just showed them a wryly smile.
Precia reverted to her stoic expression and pushed her wife to release herself from the hug. Hiding her blush from her daughter's faux expression and returned to look at the papers she once held. "We can do this anytime Fate unlike you who are not allowed to go further than hugs and kisses." She said flatly. Composing herself, she looked at Nanoha, dressed in white halter blouse and a pair of denim pants. She's proud to have a modest daughter-in-law who always wear it simple but carried it beautifully. Turning her attention to Fate, the blond was wearing one of her black straight leg trousers with a puff sleeve white blouse that hugged her body nicely, showing her curves and a pair of sneakers that are slightly worn out. On top of the blond's head is a black fiddler cap which covered Fate's ponytailed hair. 'Weird taste but fashionable.' Precia noted regarding her daughter's clothing.
"Nanoha, I expect you to keep Fate in check alright? She has her sneaky ways of getting in any woman's pants and I expect you are not to fall from it." The dark-haired parent said in warning to Nanoha. God knows how much she encounters Fate in her Casanova mode and it drives her to the point of kicking out Fate to sleep outside their house.
Nanoha chuckled knowing what Precia was talking about. She wrapped her left arm on Fate's right arm and tightly hugged it. "Don't worry Precia-mama, I'll make sure that Fate won't even have time to touch anything under my clothing. Nyahaha!" she said happily which caused the blond to blush and groan in disappointment.
The blond laughed and looked at Nanoha with one of her flirting look. Trapping Nanoha's chin with her left index finger and thumb; she showed her wife one of her seducing smiles. "Mou! And here I was thinking that we can go and have some small 'private' fun after we go around town." Fate said as she inched her lips closer to Nanoha's. She made sure her voice was sexy enough to captivate Nanoha.
Fate's parents watched the two of them, waiting to what Nanoha will react to the gesture. They know the look and action of their daughter and they know what will happen next since she tried to make a move on Nanoha. With their breaths on hold, both of them waited in anticipation.
"Fate-chan…" Nanoha said Fate's name softly. She can feel her wife's breath on her lips and can see those soft lips of Fate aching for attention. Her right slowly cupping her wife's cheek as she leaned closer to Fate. With only centimeter's apart and even before Fate can dive in and take claim of her lips,
SMACK!
Fate stumble backward, left hand instinctively reached up to the pained cheek and eyes starting to tear up. She looked at her wife who was showing her an irritated smile. "Nanoha!" she whined.
"Dare try to seduce me in a way you do with those flings of yours and I'll personally kick you out of this house for a month. Got that my dear Casanova?" she stated with a sweet venous voice. Fate can only nod in fear. "Good. Now shall we go and have fun now? Before any of my friends or Hayate decided to plan something for me." Nanoha said, walking away from Fate and giving her in-laws a kiss on the cheek. Fate grumbled and rubbed her sore cheek before giving both her parents a kiss on the cheek aswell.
With the two young ones leaving the apartment, Precia and Lindy laughed after their daughters left the apartment. They still can't believe how one Japanese teenager can put their connoisseur daughter into place. Oh how they are really proud of Nanoha and glad that they pushed the two to get married.
"Now only thing left is the actual ceremony and those two will finally hit it off!" Lindy said happily.
"Agreed. Well let's just continue with this lifestyle for them for a few more months and see." Precia dictated, happy how the two can be totally opposite but be romantically attracted.
Now there is a problem that made the lovers stood infront of the garage for some time. Fate sheepishly looked at the vehicle parked on the garage while Nanoha just sighed in defeat. The space was slight empty, no Ferrari Italia that Fate usually drives when going to school for work. Only one vehicle is parked at the side that made Nanoha shake her head.
"Are you seriously taking me out in your death-trap contraption?" Said Nanoha, pointing at the black back on the corner of the garage.
Fate grinned widely and nodded her head in enthusiasm. She took out her keys and pulled Nanoha towards the open garage. "C'mon Nanoha! Bardirche is with the mechanics and it's either this or we ride the bus! And besides, it's been a month since I took you out! I'll driver Zanber carefully just for you." she happily stated.
Zanber, the name that Fate called her bike, is a Black Ducati super bike 848. The whole body of the bike is black with yellow streaks on the sides that looked like sword blades. She love the vehicle with all her life thus it is fined tuned to the core.
Nanoha was hesitant. She only rode the said monster vehicle once when she was in Italy and it wasn't one of those romantic rides like you see in the movies. It was more of clinging for her life on the driver kind of ride. "I don't know. The bus is a little tempting if it's choosing between that and your Zanber."
But Fate didn't take it as an excuse. She gave Nanoha a pleading look, one that resembles a puppy and hoped it would work on her wife. She took her wife's hand and placed a kiss on her left ring finger. "Per favore mia stella. It would make me happy to have my beautiful wife riding my favorite vehicle." She said romantically. Suave but not in means of flirting.
The teenager saw the look on her wife's eyes and couldn't help but blush. She can tell when Fate was being a flirtatious casanova or flirting her to make her feel loved. And this time it was the latter. Her eyes looked at Fate's expression which showed her a pleading look, the one that she knows she can't deny. "Fine…" she mumbled.
With the approval from her wife, Fate hugged and kissed Nanoha's forehead. "Thank you Nanoha! C'mon!" she said excitedly. Making her way to the small table near the bike, she grabbed the two helmets atop of it and threw one to her wife. "Let's go!"
The Japanese can only smile seeing how her wife was excited on their plans for the day. She too was feeling giddy. She had to admit that their last date was over a month ago and due to Fate working, they spend such few hours with each other. Taking the helmet that her wife offered to her, Nanoha smiled and followed Fate in mounting the black machine. 'Better than nothing.' She giggled and clung on Fate's waist. "Let's have fun, Fate-chan." She said, snuggling closer to her wife before the black machine given life by a press of the ignition.
Grinning under the black helmet, Fate revved her bike to the extreme and drove out of the garage with one thing in mind. "Let's go Zanber and take mi'lady Takamachi on a date~!" she shouted under the helmet and along with the bike's loud roar.
Their drive was fast but not to the point of life threatening. Fate drove to their first stop on her mind and it had been sometime since they visited that place. Making her bike roar loudl, the passerby and other drivers on the roar glanced at them and couldn't help but stare in awe at them. A few minutes later, Fate stopped by a familiar café that both of them love. Well mostly Fate since the café serves her favorite pastry since she met her wife.
"We're here!" Fate happily announced, turning off the ignition and removing her helmet. Her long golden mane swiftly flowing down on her shoulders and she hastily fixed it previous style. She encased her hair with her cap and smiled. "So up for some sweets, my love?" she asked, smiling widely at her wife.
Nanoha had just dismounted the bike and removed her own helmet. She was thankful she had kept her hair tied down which made it easier for her to fix due to the helmet. Seeing her wife with a wide smile, she can't help but chuckle and think of Fate acting like a child. She turned to look at the establishment that Fate was talking about and just shake her head.
"C'mon Nanoha! I bet we can have a booth near the counter!" Fate chimed, taking her wife's hand on her own and pulling her to the café.
The bell chimed indicating the new arrivals.
"Irasshaimase~" chimed the owner of the café. He wore a white longsleeved polo and light brown pants. and above his clothing is a black apron that showed the name of the café, 'Midori-ya'. He was currently drying a glass when the bell chimed and he didn't even checked on who his new customers were.
"Good afternoon papa!" Nanoha said with a bright smile.
"Hello Shiro-papa." Fate said with a meek voice.
Their voices took the male's attention and he quickly placed the glass down and ran to Nanoha. "Oh! Nanoha!" Shiro hugged his daughter tightly like his life depended on it.
"did I hear you say 'Nanoha' papa?" another male voice echoed. Another male, looking like Shiro but a little younger, came out from the kitchen area of the café when he heard the name that Shiro shouted. His amber colored eyes looked around and saw Nanoha being crushed by his father's hug. "Whoa! It is Nanoha!" he said and ran to his baby sister like his father and hugged her.
And now Nanoha was crushed between two men. Her small frame is now being deprived of oxygen as both her father and big brother are cutting the air out of her. She looked at her wife with a plea for help.
The blond took her wife's plea for help and silently nodded her head. She walked towards the older male and tapped his shoulder. She gulped audibly when Shiro stopped hugging his daughter and stood up straight, towering Fate's height. His eyes bore on Fate with the blond can tell as a 'what do you want you daughter-stealer?'.
"Yes?" Shiro's voice was cold as he stared down to Fate.
Fate wanted to run to her wife but seeing that the woman was in the crutches of her older brother, it was impossible. She stood her ground and glared back at Shiro. Crimson eyes glared piercing ice daggers at cold ambers. "Shiro-papa, I think Nanoha needs some air." She said firmly, holding her ground before the Takamachi patriarch.
The two stared each other down, not even budging or blinking. Nanoha looked at her brother who was still hugging her and found that he was smiling. Seeing this, she was certain that Fate will be alright.
"You sure are cocky to tell me that Fate-chan." Shiro said, still glaring at Fate.
"I have my rights Shiro-papa." Fate replied.
Shiro was about to retort back when a loud 'clang' echoed throughout the café and the current occupants of the café looked at the Takamachi family and Fate. Shiro whipped his head to look at who hit him on the back of his head and just saw an irritated Momoko. His wife was holding a baking pan as she has her arms crossed and left feet tapping the wooden floor. He stepped back and let out a pathetic laugh. "M-momoko… haha it's not what it looks like!" he tried to explain.
Momoko glared at her husband and then to her daughter and daughter-in-law. She can see Kyouya's sly grin and Fate's cold demeanor while her husband was now teary eyed from the pain she had caused him. "Mou! Anata! Why do you always do that to Fate-chan?" she asked with a pout.
Shiro sucked up his pained expression and went to his wife. Giving Momoko a kiss on the cheek, he knew that he got his wife wrapped on his fingers. "Honey, I just want to make Nanoha realize that there are still…" Or so he though he had control of his wife now. He stopped mid-sentence when he saw his wife's annoyed look at him. He sighed disappointedly and gave Fate a lop-sided grin. "Sorry Fate-chan. A father must always protect their daughter." He said, knowing that the blond knew he was just teasing.
Fate returned the smile and politely bowedher head to the Takamachi patriarch. "That I know Shiro-papa. I do hope I pass today. I don't want my date with your daughter to end early." She said with a proud smile.
"honey, can I get my shinai now?" Shiro said in half humor and seriousness.
"Anata don't go chasing Fate around. We had enough of that at Italy." Momoko chided. She gave her husband a warning glance of hitting him again with the baking pan. When her husband backed away and went to the counter to sere the new customers, Momoko offered Nanoha and Fate a booth of their own.
With Kyouya grinning and giving a noogie to Fate before the two went to the booth, Nanoha laughed seeing how her family getting along so well. Her hand was gently encased by her lover's soft hand and she was lead to the booth near the counter. The one that Fate wanted to have. When both of them too a seat facing each other, she glanced up to her mother and asked about Miyuki and her mother just told her about Miyuki's escapade in the supermarket. She laughed imaging how her sister usually shops and it always involves either falling racks of chips or falling towers of canned soups.
"Anyway, so what will you ladies have?" Momoko asked, taking out a paper and pen. "You'll pay for it Fate." She added earning a groan of protest from her daughter-in-law and a playful giggle from Nanoha.
The stay at Midori-ya was quiet after Shiro challenged Fate to a sparring match, which Nanoha greatly disagreed, saying something about hospitals and her father in a cast. She pulled her wife out of the café after bidding their goodbyes to the Takamachi family.
Outside, Fate was laughing hard at how Nanoha was overly protective of her when it comes to sparring with Shiro. She knows first hand that the Takamachi males are a master of the sword. She even heard Signum being at the mercy of Shiro when she asked for a sparring.
"So where to?" Nanoha asked.
Fate gave the mahogany-colored hair woman her helmet and she just motioned for her to just follow along. With the notion of her wife agreeing with her, she tunred the ignition of her bike and drove away to their next destination.
"The shopping mall, really? How cliché oh dear 'charming italian' Fate." Nanoha said, making it sound sarcastic. Fate had driven them to the mall and somehow she felt it was not really a good idea.
"Eh? What's wrong with having a date at the mall?" Fate asked.
Nanoha punched her wife lightly at her shoulder and glared at her. "One it's because today is a Saturday and a lot of people are hanging out in the mall. One of these people…" she gestured everyone walking around. "Might be one of your students. Two, this mall belongs to Arisa such the staff may recognize me. Lastly…" She pointed the male and female gawking at Fate. "You attact TOO much attention!" she finalized. She punched her wife again when the blond gave those who were admiring her a wave of her hand.
After a painful jabs to the shoulder from her wife, Fate dropped the whole 'charming italian' mode and just focused on her wife. She smiled genuinely at Nanoha. She guided her to the different stores, had her wife try on different clothing, and bought anything they found good. Typical teenager kind-of-date for Fate's book.
"You know, buying me clothes won't get me forgive you." Nanoha said with a sloight irritation in her voice. She and Fate are resting at the food court after their long shopping trip along the department store section of the mall.
The instructor flicked her fingers to Nanoha's forehead, which made the girl squirm from the slight pain. "It was enough to take your attention away from those pathetic boys. Seriously, you are acting so annoyed at those who flirt with me but you never notice those who flirt with you." She said flatly. She remembered when they were shopping for clothes, Nanoha was openly being hit on by the male attendants of the stores but her wife was too engrossed with the clothing that she didn't eve noticed it. She had to step up and put on her flirting side to get those men and women alike away from her wife.
The teenager looked at her wife with a disbelieving look. She was really unaware of what Fate had told her. "They were flirting with me?" she asked, ignorant to what Fate was talking about.
Fate literally smacked her head on the table when Nanoha asked about being flirted. 'Seriously, is she really dense? Now am not really sure if I'm happy that ferret-kid had been rejected many time or just plain pity him for his feeling being ignored. That reminds me…' she raised her head from the table and looked at Nanoha who was sipping her cola from a straw. "Nanoha, about the 'wedding' modeling next week. You sure you still want to do it?" she asks, hoping that Nanoha will back out. She can't handle seeing her wife together with another man, 'or woman' she interjected mentally, wearing matching weeding outfits except her. It always took all her will power whenever her students practice the skits and catwalks.
The student just looked at her instructor with a stoic look. "Umm, yes? It's for Hayate so I'm certain." Said Nanoha. her voice rung out of certainty and it just made Fate shrug a bit. The quick motion didn't pass Nanoha's gaze and she gave her wife a curious expression. "Anything wrong Fate-chan?" she asked.
Fate frowned and crossed her arms. "Everything. I don't like the idea of you and that Scrya modeling for a wedding costume. Even if it is just for modeling." She said with a childish pout.
"Aww! My Italian is jealous!" Nanoha chirped, poking Fate's now blushing cheek. The Italian huffed a breath as turned to face her side and avoid Nanoha's teasing gaze. Her crimson eyes avoided purple ones but found a certain coplaying brunette. "Hey isn't that Hayate?" she pointed at the far left of the food court.
Nanoha looked at where Fate was pointing at and indeed she saw Hayate, hiding behind the trashcans. "Uhh should we bother her?"
Fate's childish pout changed to a conniving grin and she hastily nodded her head. She pulled her wife, sneakily went behind the brunette cosplayer, and listened in to her rantings.
"Damn it! Just leave already!" Hayate mumbled. She gripped on the paper waste bin she is using as her hiding place as she watched two persons just a few tables away from her. She was completely focused on her spying that she didn't notice that someone else was watching her.
Feeling mischievous and the plot of revenge to the heir of a multimillion school, Fate held Nanoha's cold cola for a bit and used the same hand to touch Hayate's nape. To her success, the brunette shrieked and shivered at the cold contact from her nape and she quickly turned to check the culprit. Fate found it amusing how the brunette was glaring at her first and changed to punching her shoulder, hard.
"What the hell was that for Fate!" Hayate yelled, loud enough to prove her angry point but low enough not to be heard by anyone else. She already removed the honorifics when Fate decided to play that prank on her.
"Just wondering why you are hiding behind the waste bin." She looked at where Hayate was previously looking. "Hey is that Reinforce-san? Whose the big tanned dude she's with?" she asked, oblivious to the whole situation.
Hayate sighed and let her anger dissipate. She knew that being angry at Fate will just give her a headache. She smiled when her blue eyes found apologetic purple ones and she acknowledged her friend's presence, even if she's with her mischievous wife. "What are you two doing here?" she asked the two who was now crouched down to her level aswell.
Nanoha glared at her wife who seemed like planning some world domination or just whipping out a black and yellow scythe and go out on a rampage. "Precia-mama and Liny-mama gave us time to have a date. How about you? Why are you eve hiding behind these dirty trash?" her voice seeped of disgust at the choice of Hayate's hiding place.
"I think it's because Rein-san's having a date herself." Fate pointed out.
Hayate moaned in frustration and hit Fate again on her shoulder. The blond yelp out in pain and took revenge by hitting Hayate back. "Oh how nice! The instructor is hurting her student. I can get you arrested for that you know."
"We're not at school Yagami-san."
"Will the two of you shut it? Fate you are supposed to be the adult here." Nanoha interjected, stopping her bestfriend and wife on their catfight. She sighed and clamped down Fate's lips with her hand. "Will you tell us now Hayate?"
Hayate blushed while nodding her head. "Well, Rein-chan asked for a leave today." She said.
"So? It's natural for employees to ask for a leave." It was Fate who spoke after struggling away from Nanoha's hand. But her mouth was once again covered by Nanoha's hand.
"It's Rein-chan we're talking about. She NEVER asks for a leave especially if Hayate is at home and asking all of her guardians to dress up." Nanoha said basing on her facts. "Why aren't you at home anyway Hayate-chan?
The brunette nodded her head and turned to check on her target. She felt her heart twitch when she saw the large man holding Rein's hand affectionately. "Oooh! I so want to chop his hand away!" Hayate whined.
The adult of the three placed her hand gently on Hayate's shoulder. "You know Hayate, I told you yesterday that you should make a move. What if that guy is courting Rein-san? He can literally sweep her off her feet. With all those muscles and all." she said in a mocking sing-song voice.
Brunette dusted Fate's hand and glared daggers at the guy with Rein. She was gripping the waste bin tighter that it made her knuckles white. She was frustrated and she can't do anything about it. "I don't even know who that guy is! He's been all touchy-feely with Rein-chan!"
Not controlling her voice, Hayate's seething was loud enough to be heard by a certain silvery-haired guardian. Hayate quickly ducked down, hoping that Reinforce won't go there. She prayed to whoever was up there watching her that Reinforce would not check on her hiding place.
But as if the gods hated her life, Reinforce decided to check on the place where she hard her mistress' voice. She excused herself to the tanned man and walked towards the waste bins. "Mistress Hayate?" she called out. Peering behind the waste bins, she found no one. 'Strange…' she shrugged and sighed audibly before going back to her male companion.
"YOU ARE A FUCKING CRAZY WOMAN!" Fate shouted after being literally dragged away from the dirty trash to a few feet away from Rein and under the slippery and sticky table. She was sitting on the sticky floor together with her wife who was lucky enough to sit on the dry spot and Hayate who was peering through the slits of the bench infront of them. she was glaring at Hayate's crzy love-jealousy problem. "Crazy cosplayer.." she murmured.
"Be nice Fate-chan." Nanoha scolded her wife. "Hayate-chan, as much as I hate to agree with Fate-chan, but I think you should really confront Rein-chan with your feelings." She told her friend who finally gave up and slowly went out from their hiding place and they followed suit.
"I'm going home…" Hayate said, sounding dejected. Without anymore words, she left her friends in a hurry.
The two was confused. First Hayate was spying and being angry at Reinforce, now she's leaving with a look of being heartbroken. Both of them glanced at Reinforce and saw that the snow-haired woman was now sitting beide the tanned man with his arms wrapped around Reinforce.
"Say Nanoha, should we?" Fate asked. But her wife shook her head and told her that Hayate should be the one who need to clear everything up. They both agreed on it and went out from their hiding place and just continued with their date. It was something they shouldn't interfere unless they need to do so.
But before they had time to leave the food court, they turned and checked on Rein. To their surprise, the snow-haired woman was looking at them and as if she was confident, that she wasn't doing anything wrong. They we're given a silent nod and then gave her attention to the tanned man who gave them a polite nod aswell before both of them leaving the area.
"Guess Reinforce knew we were there. So shall we go to our last stop my princess?" Fate offered with he right arm propped up for Nanoha to take.
The young spouse giggled and took her wife's charming offer. "Too much sweetness can give you diabetes Fate-chan." She stated earning her a cheesy smile from her wife.
"Well if my sweetness goes to diabetes…" Fate gave Nanoha a kiss on the cheek. "You'll have to be my cure. So c'mon! final stop is something a student of mine told me she wanted to see!" Fate suggested, making her way to the parking lot for her beloved bike.
Fate made sure the bike ride was slow. Not turtle like slow but more of a 60kmph kind of slow. She wanted to savour the feeling of Nanoha's warm body on her. 'Heck! This is the closest thing I can have as intimate with her.' She muttered on her mind. Continuing her drive along the highway, she came to a halt on the far cliff-side of the road where no vehicles seems to pass by.
Parking the bike on the curve, Nanoha jumped off the black monstrous machine and removed her helmet to smell the fresh sea breeze. Below the cliff is the wide open sea and it was around sun set when they arrived and it just added the beauty to the scenery. She smirked when she found her wife leaning at the bike with her hands behind her, supporting her weight. "Sometimes you just amaze me koi. Your ways of sneaking to my heart just takes my breath away." She smiled sweetly at her wife.
The smile gave Fate a few skip of her heartbeats and a blush on her face. The sight of her wife along the rays of the sunset just boosted the beauty. She was glad seeing that Nanoha was smiling at her. "I hope you had fun my love as I enjoyed your company." She admitted.
Nanoha reached out her hand, allowed herself to be pulled by her wife, and engulfed her in a warm hug. The sun finally setting and slowly the sky turning dark with the twinkling lights of the stars decorating it. Both of them looked up and found it romantic to be under the stars with the one you love.
"Nanoha… promise me never to leave me?" Fate said seriously.
The mahogany-haired woman tiptoed up and firmly gave her wife a kiss. At the same time, a streak of a shooting star flew across the dark sky, witnessing the romance of the two. Ending the kiss, she leaned her head to Fate's chest and inhaled the her intoxicating scent. The smell of fresh laundry with a tinge of floral. "Never Fate-chan. Even if the day one of us found the person who we would love for all eternity. You are stuck with me forever until our body turns to spirits Fate-chan. It's not easy to escape the Takamachi clutches." She informed her wife with a bit of seriousness and mirth. Staying their current position, Nanoha felt at ease at the arms of her wife.
Fate took her wife's left hand on her own and raised it up, pretending to reach the dark sky. Even if they didn't wore their rings on their hands, they found it quite heartwarming how their hands fit together.
a/n: so how was it? i hope it's okay and good enough fOr a small filler chapter. So i wait for your feedbacks, reactions, flames, criticism, pitchforks and torches, wooden stakes and even silver bullet! haha thank you for supporting my fic and i'll try my best to give out this story a nice and smooth flow.
Translations:
Per favore mia stella - 'please my star' in italian
Koi - the Japanese term for 'love' aside from 'ai'. And NO it's not the fish type of koi.
Irasshaimase - is an honoriffic expression welcoming someone somewhere (usually into a place of business)
Well this is not an Italian word but more of an italian gesture that CrazyLikeAnko suggested and i used in the last chapter:
The gesture of kissing one's ring finger (i.e FAte kissing her own ring finger) means is to express the love to one's spouse.
