Was busy the past two days and couldn't get anything. Sorry.

"Um, uh... Would you go out with me?" A boy asked a certain manmade clone earnestly, putting much effort into those words.
"Well..." Fate trailed, looking away rubbing her chin with one finger while sitting in her seat, "I'm not so sure..." She admitted honestly, not having too much interest in the boy. She was, after all, gunning for the blue-eyed Nanoha, although that was to be a secret to everybody.
"Alright," the boy sighed, knowing when to give up.
"Thanks," Fate smiled, truly grateful for his understanding.
The girl then stood up and left the school to head back home, for they had just finished that day. Along the way home, however, she was approached by yet another boy, this one looking much more determined than the last.
"Oi, Testarossa, give me a date, will you?" He calmly stated, flicking his hair as he did so. Or at least, he tried to. His hair was too short to do it effectively.
"...Why?" Fate returned calmly, trying to suppress the urges to shoot him down right there.
"Because..." the boy continued, sly smirk on his face. "You know I'm the one."
Before Fate could destroy all of that boy's hopes for ever being able to walk again, she was suddenly stopped when she felt someone behind her.
"Heya, Fate!" Greeted an enthusiastic Nanoha, waving at the girl.
"Hmph! Ignore that bothersome girl, Testarossa. Now then, let's go this Saturday," the boy spoke, dismissing Nanoha, who sensed the situation quickly.
"What? Aww, Fate, you're not really going to abandon me, are you?" Nanoha whimpered, throwing her arms around the blonde, sniffing a bit.
"W-W-Well, I..." Fate whimpered, unable to think clearly. Meanwhile, the boy was trying to get over the fact that Fate appeared to swing that way.
"Please?" Nanoha sobbed slightly, nibbling softly on Fate's neck.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" The boy yelled out in despair, running away dejectedly.
After the boy did so and went out of sight, Fate turned to the girl behind her.
"Why did you do that!?"
"Hey," Nanoha pointed out, "I had to assert my ownership over you in some way. Besides, I made sure to bite hard enough there'll be a mark by tomorrow, so that should be enough." The girl finished, beaming.
Fate just sighed and walked away, planning to make sure that she would value that mark forever.
