Comfort

"So what do you two want to do to this afternoon?" Fate asked as they walked inside. She tossed her jacket over on the couch and turned to Nanoha. "Any ideas?"

Vivio walked in after them slinking on past without a word and heading straight into her room. Fate slightly cringed as she heard the door slam.

"My poor baby…," said Nanoha solemnly.

"Why? What's going on?"

"Fate just come here a minute ok?"

"Hey Vivio? Honey what's wrong?"

Nanoha grabbed her by her arm and pulled her into the kitchen. "Just listen for a minute Fate."

"Ok. What's going on?"

"Vivio…she got rejected today."

Fate made a puzzled expression. "Rejected how?"

"By a boy she likes. She came and told me about it last week and I encouraged her to go through with it and talk to him."

"And he didn't like her back?"

"Worse. According to her, he and his friends were pretty mean about it."

"Oh no…"

Nanoha nodded. "I feel like this is my fault for encouraging her. We've never talked to her about heartbreak before. She has no idea how to deal with it."

"It's not sweetie. I would have done the same thing." She looked back at Vivio's door. "Maybe we should go talk to her."

"I would if I knew what to say to her."

Fate smiled. "Just do what you normally do and speak from the heart. She'll get what you mean."

"Alright but you have to come with me."

"Of course. Now let's go."

Both of them walked to her door and paused slightly before knocking. There was no answer so they tried again. Then trying the knob, they found that the door wasn't locked so they went on inside. Vivio was lying on her bed with her face buried in her pillow and crying softly. Nanoha walked up and sat on the bed next to her while Fate closed the door.

"Vivio? Honey can we talk to you for a minute?"

The young girl silently shook her head.

"Vivio we just want to help. Will you please talk to us?" said Fate kneeling down in front of the bed.

Slowly, Vivio looked up at them. Her usually bright face was stained with tears. She sniffed and tried her best to wipe her eyes. "Fate mama…they…they were so mean…"

"I know baby. Nanoha told me. I know it hurts but it'll be ok."

Nanoha gently rubbed her back and leaned in close. "Vivio I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you to go through with it without talking to you about it first. This is my fault."

"Nanoha don't say that. You couldn't have known."

"She's right mama. I'm not mad at you. It's not your fault those guys made fun of me."

"Thank you Vivio," said Nanoha with a smile. "But we just want you to cheer up ok? I'm sorry those boys were mean to you."

"I am too," said Fate. "But you'll find someone much better for you. I never really liked that kid anyway."

Vivio was still crying a little but she seemed to be perking up. She sat up and gave both Nanoha and Fate a very curious look. "W-would it be easier if I…um…if I liked other…girls?"

Fate looked at Nanoha who was absolutely blindsided. "Listen Vivio, Nanoha and I have our own lives and you have yours. Whatever you choose to do is your own choice and Nanoha and I will support you regardless."

"With the right amount of parental advisory of course," added Nanoha.

"Kay," said Vivio doing her best to smile.

"But in the mean time, don't worry so much about things like that. You're young and you have plenty of time for all of that. Take it from me Vivio," Fate said playfully messing with her hair, "Enjoy being a kid while it lasts because you'll be an adult before you know it."

"Is that because you were a boring kid Fate mama?"

"What?"

"Nanoha mama said that you were kinda boring as a kid."

"Oh did she now?" Fate shot Nanoha a look as the redhead nervously laughed.

"Um…can you two…give me some time alone? I feel a little better but…I kinda just want some time. Is that ok?" Vivio was still teary eyed but she was trying to be tough.

"Ok baby take all the time you need. Fate and I will be here if you need us for anything." Nanoha gave her a hug and a quick kiss on the forehead. "I love you Vivio."

"I love you too kid," said Fate doing the same. The two of them then left the room stopping at the door and looking back at Vivio who waved at them both before they closed the door. Nanoha and Fate headed back into the living room and Fate walked up to Nanoha.

"Hey what was this kid's name?"

"Pardon?"

"The boy's name Nanoha, what is it?"

Nanoha frowned. "You're NOT going to do anything Fate."

"Did I say that? I just would like to know. Don't I have a right to know the name of the first crush Vivio has ever had?"

Nanoha stared at her with a look that screamed 'not amused'.

"Ok fine then I won't hunt the kid down."

"Good," said Nanoha.

"I'll just look up the class roster and work my way through it," Fate said going to grab her computer.

"Fate! Fate get back here!" shouted Nanoha running into the bedroom after her.
