Content: Fate's underwear

"Aaah, it's great to be able to clock out early, isn't it?" Shari grinned as she stretched, her hand meeting the ceiling of Fate's car.

"It's nice once in awhile." Fate agreed while keeping her eyes on the road.

"Since we have some time before we need to report back to HQ, do you mind if we stop somewhere?"

"Did you need something?" Fate asked her aid. Certainly Hayate didn't need them back at the base for another hour or so, providing them with ample time.

"Yeah, I want to pick up some new clothes." Shari nodded. "I was fooling around with some machines the other night and I got oil all over the place."

Fate smiled. That sounded like Shari all right.

"Okay, any particular store you want to go to?"

"Yup. Take a right here and then…"

Fate followed the directions and after finding a parking spot the pair went into the store. It was a medium sized establishment that specialized solely in female attire. Fate hadn't been there before, but apparently Shari had, as the brunette quickly walked off to the area containing what she wanted to purchase.

The enforcer just followed, not particularly in need of new clothes. Her eyes wandered between the frilly dresses and the selection of swimsuits without so much as a thought, but then something caught her eye. Making her way over to the item, she took hold of the hanger and studied it more closely.

"Hm, that looks sexy."

Fate jumped when she heard her aide's voice. She turned to the younger girl who was now carrying a package of plain white shirts.

"Y-Yeah, it's nice." Fate recovered, returning her eyes to the set of black bra and panties she was holding. Both pieces were lined with modest frills and had purple bows decorating them in several locations. "I'm thinking of buying it."

"Really?" Shari arched an eyebrow, but then looked up thoughtfully. "Come to think of it, most of your underwear is black, isn't it?"

"That's right." Fate nodded, but then looked confused as Shari gave her a Cheshire grin. "What?"

"Oh nothing," Shari said innocently. "I just remembered that you don't buy black lingerie unless you want someone to see it."

"Don't be silly, Shari!" Fate laughed softly, averting her gaze. "It's not like that! I just like the colour, that's all."

"Uh huh…" Shari continued grinning, clearly not convinced.

Later that evening, when the day's duties were over, Fate made her away back to the room she shared with Nanoha.

"Hey Fate-chan!" Nanoha, already in bed, greeted. "How was your day?"

"Pretty good." Fate replied, shedding her uniform jacket and hanging it up. She then worked at the buttons on her shirt. "How were the Forwards today?"

"They're doing just great." The instructor smiled proudly. "Their improvement is very noticeable."

"Is that so…" Fate mused, losing the white shirt. Turning away from her friend, the blond then looked over her shoulder before slowly pulling up her undershirt. "It's because they have such a great teacher."

"Nyaha, my teaching would be meaningless if they weren't great students."

Getting the undershirt over her head, Fate kept looking forward, trying to act as natural as possible. Undoing her skirt, she let it fall down her legs. Going to her pantyhose next, she hooked her thumbs in them and slowly wiggled her butt as she pulled the nylon down. Bending over sultrily until her rear was high in the air, she stepped out of the last of her outwear.

Now only clad in the black bra and panties she had bought during the day, Fate righted herself and placed both of her hands on the back of her head. She turned around and stuck her chest out as far as possible.

"Hey, Nanoha, what do you think…"

"Goodnight, Fate-chan." Nanoha yawned, having turned away and snuggled into her covers minutes ago.

Fate let out a long sigh as she deflated like a balloon.

I had the idea for this for the longest time, but never really did anything with it until recently. That line from 10 Things I Hate About You about the black underwear always stuck with me for some reason, so seeing as how Fate wears black underwear in StrikerS got the gears turning. If you wear black to show it off, maybe Fate wears it for Nanoha to see when they get back to their room. Of course Nanoha being Nanoha is as dense as always so it flies right over her head. Poor Fate ^^"
