I Remember

Yuki-Kamishiro
We walked until we reached Nanoha's house. It was a little past 8. Probably around 8:10 or something.
"Uh, well… I don't actually want to go in… yet…" Nanoha started when we were standing in front of her door.
"I'm here with you, Nanoha. It's ok, I'll be here until it's all over." I felt Nanoha grab my hand and squeezed it a little.
"Ook…" She opened the door slowly and grasped the door knob when she saw Momoko-san and Shiro-san sitting in the living room, waiting. "Uh-oh… I'm in big trouble now…"
We walked in slowly and I closed the door behind us, leaving a click echo in the silent house. We walked the few steps toward Nanoha's parents and sat down across from them.
"Can you two explain why you're here very late at night?" Momoko-san spoke for both her and Shiro-san.
"I uh… wanted to show Nanoha this place…" I trailed off when I saw Momoko-san's and Shiro-san's disappointed expression.
"This is awkward…" Nanoha whispered enough for only me to hear.
'Tell me about it…' "I'm sorry." I bowed slightly trying not to hit the table between us with my head. "It was my fault. I told her to stay for awhile. She doesn't have anything to do with this." I sat back up and looked at Nanoha and she gave me a weird look and I assumed it was a 'Why'd you say that for' look.
"It's still her fault for not coming home before-"
"Dad! It's not 8:30 yet!" Nanoha cut off Shiro-san.
"Nanoha sweetie, you know that no matter what time it is you still have to come home before dark, right?" Momoko-san looked at Nanoha and then at me. "And Fate-san… I know that you took her out, but can you at least bring my baby home before dark?"
"Mom! I'm not a baby anymore!" Nanoha pouted and she looked so cute I wanted to kiss her again. She looked at me for help and I just couldn't let her be.
"Momoko-san, I will be careful next time. Please don't do anything to Nanoha. It was my fault." I squeezed Nanoha's hand from under the table.
"I know you will, Fate-san. But the thing is that I don't trust the dark. There's been assaults lately during the night." Momoko-san glanced at the window before looking back at us.
"I understand, Momoko-san. I'll be careful next time when I take Nanoha out somewhere again." I put determination in my voice.
"Ok. We trust you, Fate-san." Shiro-san finally spoke up again. "It's best if you go home before it gets even more dark out there-"
"Dad… um…" Nanoha shifted in her chair a little. "Can Fate-chan sleep here for the night? I mean it is dark outside and I don't want anything to happen to Fate-chan either… can she?"
"Nanoha…" I whispered.
Momoko-san and Shiro-san looked at each other and then both sighed out in defeat.
"Ok, Fate-san can stay here for tonight, but she has to-"
"Thanks Mom! Fate-chan will sleep with me tonight!" Nanoha tightened her grip on my hand and pulled me off with her, dragging me up the stairs and into her room.
"Nanoha? Are you sure? Momoko-san wasn't done speaking-" Nanoha turned around to face me and blushed.
"It's ok. Fate-chan won't hurt me. And besides, I don't want Fate-chan to sleep in a room she's not comfortable with, or alone." She ended making me blush as well.
"I uh… t-t-thank you, Nanoha…"
"Your welcome. Oh and I have sleeping clothes in that drawer right over there. The second drawer. I'm going to go take a shower, do you want to take one too?" Nanoha started stripping herself over to her bathroom. I spinned around to face her drawer, blushing deeply with my left hand covering my face.
"I uh… no, it's ok-" Then I felt hands holding my right hand. I jumped a little, thinking Nanoha was naked and holding onto my hand was already enough to almost make me have a nosebleed. A big one that is.
"Fate-chan…" I heard Nanoha's soft voice. I gulped and turned around slowly, embracing myself for whatever that I was going to be seeing. And to my relief Nanoha was not fully naked, she was half naked. She still had her undergarments on. Her bra was orange and had a little lace on it and her underwear was the same orange color.
"Fate-chan…" I heard Nanoha say again. "Will you wash my back for me? I never had anyone wash my back for me except for my mom, but she's not here, you are." I felt my heart beat faster than normal and gulped again.
"Nanoha, I…" I looked at her for a second before saying yes.
"Thank you Fate-chan." Nanoha dragged me to the bathroom with her and she took off her undergarments and grabbed a towel. "Mm? Fate-chan, aren't you going to take off your clothes?"
I hesitated for awhile and then started stripping off my clothes slowly. Nanoha had her gaze on me and I was burning just having her look at me that way.
I quickly grabbed the towel near me when I was done undressing myself. Nanoha slid opened the door and walked in, turning on the tub faucet. I closed the sliding door and I was amazed at how big her bathroom-scratch that-her tub was. It can fit at least 5 people in there. I shook the thought out and looked at the steam coming out of the tub. It started fogging the bathroom up and it was getting harder to see, but I could still see Nanoha leaning over the tub and touching the water.
'This is the first time I'm going to be bathing with Nanoha! Calm down Fate! Calm down!' I slapped myself and it echoed in the room. Nanoha turned around and looked confused. "What was that? Did I just hear a slap, Fate-chan? Did you hear it too?" I shook my head and one of her eyebrows furrowed up and she went back to touching the water.
"Ok, the bath is ready. You want me to wash your back first? Or do you want to wash mine first?"
"I… um…"
"Ok! Then I'll wash your back first! Takamachi Nanoha getting to work!" Nanoha grabbed me and sat me down on one of the stools and grabbed the sponge and started scrubbing my back slowly. "Tell me when I'm hurting you, ok?"
"O-ok…" I sat there with my towel in front of me and enjoying Nanoha's 'work' on my back.
5 minutes later Nanoha seemed tired, so I offered to wash her back this time. She retorted, but lost in the end. I was already sitting behind her and she was already sitting on the stool.
"How did I end up sitting here and you behind me?" I grabbed the sponge she was just using on me earlier and started scrubbing her back with it. "I don't know Nanoha, you tell me. You were pretty slow-" I heard Nanoha making a noise when she pouted. She was so cute. Even though I couldn't see her doing it, I could still feel her doing it.
"You were just way too fast, Fate-chan! No fair! You cheated!" Nanoha crossed her arms in front of her and I leaned in a little because she was moving too much. I didn't know how much I was leaning in when Nanoha turned around fast enough that I fell on her and for some weird reason our lips locked onto each other.
"Omhp- muah! I'm sorry Nanoha! I didn't mean to-" I started but was cut off when she put one of her finger on my lips. "It's ok, Fate-chan… we… uh…"
I looked at her in confusion and she started again. "We uh… already…" She whispered quietly. "… kissed… before so…" and I couldn't hear her anymore. She was too inaudible to hear now so I just stood up and held my hand in front of me.
"Come on, we don't want the bath to get cold now, do we?" She shook her head and grabbed my extended hand. I pulled her up and we stepped into the bath. "Ah~ it's so warm."
"It sure it. I like it like this, it's so peaceful."
"Yeah, it is. It's like it just took all of my stress away. Just like that."
"You were stressing?" Nanoha's voice became worried again.
"Ah, well… no, not really… it's just some things, but it's all gone now." She looked at me disbelieving. "Don't worry, Nanoha. I'm fine."
She slid a little down so that her nose was barely touching the water. "Mmo… mooklay…" ("Mm… ok…")
The bath was longer than I thought it would be. We were in the bath for almost an hour. Like we were in a spa. Haha.
"Oh, my sleeping clothes are in here, Fate-chan… um…" Nanoha rooted through her drawer. "Ah, found one. This will fit you perfectly. It's kind of too big for me because, um… here…" Nanoha handed me the sleeping clothes and picked out her own.
"I'll wear this one." Nanoha walked up to her bed and dropped her towel, making me turn around super fast and look at the corner. I felt her put on her bra and underwear. My cheeks were burning.
I stayed looking at the corner and started dressing myself after thinking about it. 'Don't come out! Ah!' I clasped my black lace bra strap and covered my nose. 'Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Fate you pervert!' I slapped myself and quickly put my black lace underwear on.
I felt Nanoha turn around and stare at me. I turned around slowly. 'Sigh, I've been turning a lot, fast and slow.' I met Nanoha's gaze and saw that she was already wearing her sleeping clothes, or rather pyjamas (pjs). "Fate-chan? Aren't you going to wear that?" Nanoha pointed at the pyjamas I accidentally dropped on the floor.
"Eh? Oh yeah, I am. Sorry." I picked them up and wore the black top that was rather short and showed my stomach when I stretched. I then put the black shorts on. 'Haha, this doesn't feel like a pyjama at all. It's more like clothes you wear inside the house. Oh yeah, sleeping clothes, duh. Haha.' I grabbed the towel I dropped and folded it up and gently placed it in Nanoha's basket near the bathroom.
"Are you ready for me to turn off the light now?" Nanoha stood at the door holding onto the light switch.
"Uh, yeah. I think I am." Nanoha turned off the lights and I walked slowly - 'Here I go again with the slowness.' - toward Nanoha's bed until I touched it with my legs. Nanoha ran over to me and jumped on me when a loud noise banged in the attic. We ended up falling on her bed with me on the bottom - again - and Nanoha on top - again -, I felt Nanoha shake a little and bury herself in my chest.
"Are you ok, Nanoha?" I stroked her hair. "That didn't scare you, did it?"
Nanoha stirred and then looked up at me. "Yeah, it kind of did."
Besides her telling me she got 'kind of' scared, her body movement told a whole different story. She shook in fear.
"It's ok Nanoha. You can hold onto me while you sleep. I won't go anywhere." We shifted so that the blankets were on top of us. I embraced Nanoha and she held onto her shirt she lend me tightly, never letting go for a second. 'How can I refuse when she looks like that? TOO CUTE!'
And for a moment I realized, I really do like Nanoha, A LOT. I don't know why I'm thinking of this, but it just popped into my head. This 'like' that I have might grow and turn into 'love' one day. 'I hope Nanoha'll feel the same as I feel for her…'
Sleep took over me and all I saw was Nanoha sleeping peacefully before seeing black. Pitch black.
To be Continued…
