Hello hello, and welcome back! I present to you, a story whose idea I've had since near the very beginning, and whose finished product I've sat on for nearly a week, which is rare, this one pushes the rating just a tad more than I usually do, even if its mainly used for shits and giggles, so I considered it for a moment, before just figuring I'll post it anyway, after all the rating is T. Don't worry I don't plan on heading over to the dark side! I do hope you enjoy it regardless!

Synopsis- Uni seems to have forgotten a few key details that leave her in a situation she never thought she'd be in, with questions she never thought she'd have to ask herself.
As the first morning rays peered through the nearest window, their sole mission in their fleeting existence, it would appear, was to disrupt the peaceful slumber that Uni had found. Grumbling, she eventually let her eyes flutter open, feeling especially groggy for the moment, turning over in the bed, she almost got out of bed before noting 2 key details were very wrong.
1. She was not in her room. Which was odd, she did not remember going anywhere yesterday, although, she soon noticed, she could not remember anything about yesterday. It was odd, it was as though it was all a fog. Looking around the room, she noticed the bright pastel aesthetic of the room, quickly deducing she was in one of Planeptunes basilicoms guest rooms. But… that all could be explained, maybe she was tired and just didn't remember flying over. No, what was most disturbing was
2. She was in her underwear. And had no idea why. Why was she not wearing her clothes? Under what circumstances would she willingly take them off? And, if such circumstances did arise, why didn't she remember them!? Surely. That would be something memorable.
This was bad, this was all very bad. What happened? And why couldn't she remember? But. If that wasn't bad enough, as Uni found herself taking deep breaths, her blood ran cold as ice as she felt stirring beside her. In the same bed. In the longest moment in her entire existence, Uni felt nothing but terror as she felt an arm wrap around her. After great deliberation, considering if this, perhaps, was a dream, Uni turned her head to face her mystery partner. Immediately finding her face full of lilac hair, which, if she had to say, smelled awfully nice. Quickly deducing the person next to her was, in fact, her best friend, Nepgear.
"Oh, ok it's just Nepgear…" There was just one more problem. "WAIT WHAT!?" If she was right, the arm wrapped around her also felt like Nepgear was at best, similarly clothed to Uni herself. Immediately Uni felt panic overtake her system as she practically jumped out of the bed. Her panicked actions causing the other girl to stir from her peaceful slumber, rubbing her eyes with a yawn, she looked at the other girl with a slightly embarrassed smile before greeting her,
"Good morning, Uni, how are you?" She pleasantly greeted, but as she stretched her limbs, Uni felt what color she had left in her face fade, as when Nepgear stretched her arms it made the blanket around her fall ever so slightly revealing,
She was wearing nothing! Like, at all!
Uni turned her back to her as she pinched her nose, stopping the spurting blood from flowing down. Ok. This was bad. This was the worst-case scenario. On what conditions could this have ever occurred? Did they…?
No. No. No. No. NO. NO. NONONO. Uni absolutely refused to accept what was, likely, the only reasonable explanation. There was just no way, right…? There was no way Uni did that with her best friend.
And she didn't even remember it.
"Uni?" Nepgear asked mildly confused,
"Uhhhhh…." Uni had nothing. Her mind fully shut down. In a panic she thought of anything to say, looking around she quickly thought of the first thing that came to mind, "Where are my clothes?" Even though she wasn't looking at the woman, she could tell she seemed to be embarrassed,
"I uh… I think you may have taken them off in the main room…" Nepgear embarrassingly spoke. "I usually keep spare clothes in the bathroom down the hall… they should fit you reasonably well…" Nepgear explained, and Uni simply sighed, this only being the cherry on top of her sundae. Well… she supposed, this was good in one way. She definitely needed a loooong cold shower. A looooooooooooong one.
"Well, I need to take a shower anyway… So, I'll… I'll uh… see you in a bit…" Uni nervously scratched the back of her head, turning to face the girl, before quickly remembering why she had turned away from her in the first place. Almost robotically, Uni walked out of the room. Stepping into the hallway, she soon turned to go down the hall, only to find herself face to face with a set of purple eyes,
"Wowzers Mini Nowa, are you entering your sexy phase? I'm sure all the fans will love it… but uh… this is my house" Neptune spoke blankly as she looked at the sparsely clothed CPU candidate, who only returned the blank stare, her mind already far past what it could handle. Ordinarily, she would be out of her mind in embarrassment, but perhaps it stood to reason, she had come full circle.
"I uhh…. Need to take a shower…" She responded before quickly sprinting off to the restroom down the hall. Leaving behind the CPU, who could only sigh, as she walked down the hall, in the opposite direction, towards the kitchen area. Walking in, making sure to greet the 3 people already waiting for her at the table. Sitting down, she looked around to see everyone, yes, even her usually stoic oracle, sharing her look of exacerbation. The silence among the usual close friends almost deafening, before Neptune decided she had to break it,
"So, uh… We just gonna pretend we don't know what happened or…?" Neptune gently asked, and everyone took a sigh, before IF eventually spoke up, her voice far more defeated than Neptune could ever remember it being from her long time friend,
"Nep… I… I just need a little time to process what we all know damn well happened. Never thought it would be Gear…" IF spoke, and everyone, including the CPU herself, gently nodded in agreement.
"Good morning IF, Compa, Sis, Histore" Almost immediately everyone felt themselves gagging on their own saliva as the girl of the hour announced her presence, sitting at the table, as if nothing had happened at all. Looking at her close friends and family, Nepgear could only tilt her head in confusion, "Hmmm…? Something happen?" She asked, seeing that everyone around her seemed to want to look anywhere except in her direction, for whatever reason.
"Uhhhh…." Everyone could now only stare at the girl, who, obliviously, assumed nothing she had done had been detected by others,
"Ahem." It was Historie who eventually gathered herself, "Nepgear" She eventually spoke pointedly,
"Hmm?" Nepgear tilted her head, and Histoire could only sigh, not having the heart to reprimand the girl,
"Nothing… Do you want some breakfast? A CPU needs to start the day well. Despite what Neptune would otherwise like to say, her breakfasts of pudding are not adequate" Histoire asked, receiving the expected reaction from her protege. Of course, that had been her goal, they didn't all need to ruminate about… well. The obvious.
"Boooo, you meanie. Pudding is the most nutritious food in Gamindustri I'll have you know!" Neptune whined, and the two soon devolved into their usual shenanigans, and all the while a certain gearhead couldn't help but let out a sigh, she was off the hook… for now.
Down the hall, the cold water washed over Uni's body, helping to cleanse herself of the sheer amount of shame she felt almost sticking to her skin like a slick coat of dogoo slime. This was the worst. This couldn't get any worse. She had hit rock bottom. Taking deep breaths, Uni tried to calm her mind down. She needed answers. What happened? Why couldn't she remember? Why did she… never mind. She didn't need the answer to that. Or perhaps she did?
Did she get drunk? That would explain some things, but not why she didn't appear to have a headache. Or, more importantly, Uni had never drank before in her entire life, and, truthfully, never planned on it. So that eliminated that as a possibility. But what else was there? As she continued ruminating possibilities, she was soon interrupted by a sound,
"Uni?" Uni gulped as she heard a voice at the door, it was Nepgear.
"Y-yea?" She asked,
"I brought your clothes~" Uni felt a panic stir in her system as she heard the doorknob subtly turning, she rushed to turn off the water, grabbing a towel to cover herself, but, not quick enough as the woman at the door simply let herself in, Uni barely half covered, "Here you are" Nepgear pleasantly greeted, and Uni could only feel her spirits drop lower and lower.
"...thank you" she mumbled, grabbing them before shutting the door once more. Putting them on, before slowly making her way back into the hallway, and thankfully, no one was waiting for her, or at least initially. But as she turned to head towards the main area, yet again, she was face to face with the CPU of the nation.
"Oh…" Neptune stopped, looking at Uni, her face unreadable. "Hey Uni" She greeted, and Uni gulped,
"H-hey Miss Neptune" She reciprocated the greeting, and Neptune slowly let her blank expression devolve into a smirk,
"Hey, have you seen Nep Jr? I need something from her," she asked. In truth, she didn't know what to think about… well the obvious. On one hand, she kinda wanted to give Uni a thrashing, as any older sibling should… but she figured that wasn't allowed, so she resorted to option B…
"O-Oh… no, I don't know where she is…" Uni nervously responded, scratching her neck
"Ohhh? Is that it now?" She smugly leaned forward, "Well you know Uni~?" Neptune asked, and Uni couldn't help but think she wanted to be anywhere else on the planet at the moment. "All those guest rooms come with cameras" Ah yes; plan B. Embarrass her as much as she possibly could.
Uni thought she had hit rock bottom. She thought it a few times throughout this short morning. But, yet again. She was wrong. This was it. The bottom. Uni could only stare at the CPU. Her very soul not present anymore. Far beyond this mortal plane,
"Treat her right, k~?" Neptune patted Uni on the back before skipping down the hall, her mission accomplished.
Uni could only stand, as still as a statue. Her mind was completely overwhelmed. This was the worst. Eventually though, the moment passed, as she heard another voice speak to her,
"Uni?" This time it was the voice of the stoic oracle of Planeptune. Uni supposed, if there was any person, she thought she could talk to, it would be Histoire.
"Oh… Hello Histoire" She blankly responded,
"Hmmm? Are you feeling fine? You look pale" Histoire pointed out, and Uni considered for a moment, this perhaps was her only chance at getting answers, and, if she ever wanted to look her best friend in the eyes again, she would certainly need a few,
"Histoire?" She quietly began,
"Hmm?"
"I uhh. Need your help… I know I'm not a Planeptune CPU, but… please" Uni asked desperately, and Histoire could only smile, as she looked the woman in the eyes,
"Why, I am here for any of the CPUs. I may have been designed by Planeptune's first CPU. But, she would have wanted me to help all. What can I do for you?" Histoire amicably offered, and for the first time in the day, Uni felt her spirit raise, if only just a little,
"I uh… I uhh… Did something last night…" Uni began, as embarrassed as she had ever been, and Histoire could only scrunch her face, "But… I don't remember anything about it. And I don't know what to do about it." At this information, Hitsoire could only feel her eyes widen,
"Oh. I see" That certainly changed a few things, explained a few others, and certainly raised quite a few more questions.
"Yea… And… and I thought maybe, you could show me what happened? You're a tome, right? Everything that happened should be in your book, right?" Uni asked, and Histoire could only sigh,
"I'm afraid that is impossible" She simply said, and Uni gritted her teeth,
"Please! Please…" She pleaded, and Histoire felt a guilty pang in her heart, she really did want to help the candidate if she could, even Histoire could tell this was weighing heavily on the young woman's mind, with a sigh, she began,
"There are two reasons. 1. No one is allowed to view the contents of my tome. I'm afraid that is a rule that cannot be broken. And, more importantly, I have to personally witness an event for it to be recorded in my tome, especially specific events such as this. I am afraid I am no use to you, I am sorry, Uni." Histoire pointedly spoke, and Uni felt disappointment surge in her system before she remembered a little detail that was brought to her attention recently…
"Oh! Histoire? Do you think I could look at the security cam footage in the basilicom for the last day?" Uni asked, and Histoire seemed to ponder it for a moment, before speaking,
"I don't see why not, come, follow me." She smiled, and Uni nodded along as she followed Histoire down to one of the most secluded rooms in the basilicom. Stopping in front of the door, she looked Uni in the eyes, "I must ask Uni. What do you want to find out? Is there an answer that you want? Is it that the actions you have taken, you wish you could take back? Is it regret? Or is it something else?" She seemed to ask seriously, and Uni could only stop to think over the question,
"I don't know…" Uni answered honestly.
"Well. If it is of issue, I do recall CPUs in the past that had… ahem. Relations. But I assume, that is not the issue, is it? It's something else, do you wish that she would forget too? Are they not actions you wish to live up to?" Histoire asked once more, and Uni could only scrunch her face,
"I… I don't know. It isn't as though I don't love Nepgear…" The last part came out as but a whisper, but nonetheless, Histoire heard it, as she considered for a moment,
"Then, what is the issue?" Histoire pressed once again,
"Is that really what I wanted though? For it to be like this?" Uni responded to the question with one of her own, and Histoire could only sigh as she opened up the room,
"I believe that is for you to answer, no?" She excused herself with that final thought, as Uni was left alone in the recording room, several TV's displaying several of the rooms all at once. Looking around the room, and taking a moment to analyze everything, she eventually found the specific screens she was looking for. Assuming what Nepgear had said earlier was accurate, she assumed she should start in the main room, rewinding the tape to the beginning of the day, she let it play in the fastest playback until…
"Aha!" She exclaimed as she saw herself enter the field of view, putting the headphones on she listened into the audio as she watched herself,
"Oh! Uni? What are you doing here? You rarely show up without texting me" Nepgear started, the quality of the audio wasn't great, but Uni could still hear everything well enough,
"Oh. Well, I thought I'd just show up, I wanted to see you" Uni heard her own voice say and she scrunched her nose, this already didn't sound like her,
"Oh? Really!? That makes me happy to hear" Nepgear responded with a smile,
"As a matter of fact, I need to tell you something" Uni could already feel a pit in her stomach, as she had a feeling, she knew what was coming,
"Hmm? What's that?" Nepgear faced her friend with a bright smile, before gasping, her hands having been clasped together by her friends,
"I love you" Uni cringed as she heard herself declare, looking her friend in the eye, who could only gasp,
"W-what?" Nepgear asked, dumbfounded,
"I've loved you ever since I first laid my eyes on you, you are the most perfect woman I have ever met in my entire life" Uni declared,
"Uni…" Nepgear could feel tears welling up in her eyes, how long had she waited for this day? This felt like a dream, as she leaned forward, the two connecting their lips, Nepgear cared not when she felt Uni's hand slowly make its way-
Uni felt a shadow cover her eyes as she quickly shut off the recording. Well. That wasn't any help, and as a matter of fact, it may have made things worse. "Why the hell did I do that!?" Uni yelled at her wit's end. None of this made sense, she remembered none of this, and yet the truth was right in front of her. In no part of her mind could she rationalize what she had seen, and with every passing moment, she prayed more and more that she would wake up from this cruel nightmare.
"Is it that the actions you have taken, you wish you could take back? Is it regret? Or is it something else?" She heard Histoire's words echo in her mind.
As Uni thought it over, taking deep breaths to cool herself. Something occurred to her. Those words, it wasn't as though that wasn't what she thought, she had wished for so long she could have the courage to say them. For so long, she had wished she could just come out and say how much she loved Nepgear, and yet?
Why did she still feel so bad?
With a deep sigh. Uni stood up. No more closer to any answers, or any conclusions she wanted to hear. Deciding she needed fresh air, she decided on taking a walk through Planeptune City, a few minutes into her walk, she felt her phone buzz in her pocket, with bated breath, she pulled her phone out, praying that the person calling wasn't-
Incoming call- Noire
"Oh" Uni audibly said, well that was unexpected. She was sure it was going to be Nepgear with how this day had gone so far, letting out her held-in-breath, she clicked the answer button, "Noire?"
"There you are Uni! Where on earth are you?" Noire asked, her tone slightly worried, and Uni nervously chuckled,
"Uhhh, I'm in Planeptune." She answered, and she could hear a moment of silence on the other end,
"Why are you in Planeptune?" Noire questioned, and Uni considered for a moment, before shaking her head, she couldn't lie to Noire,
"Im… honestly not sure. Something happened, and I need to figure it out, I'll explain everything when I get back, k?" Uni explained, hoping that would be sufficient for Noire, who remained silent for a moment, before sighing,
"Ok… you make sure to, ok? Because Neptune is texting me all sorts of weird things"
"Like what?" Uni responded immediately, her blood running cold,
"What? I don't know, like 'your sister is going to ruin the rating of the games' or 'were no better than an H-game now' seriously, what does that girl even mean sometimes?" Noire explained obliviously, as Uni slowed to a halt.
Neptune was as good as dead. Uni was going to shoot her. She was going to commit deacide. If it was the last thing she did.
But, before she could commit any further to the thought process she heard a voice to her side, softly she ended the conversation with her sister, before facing the young woman,
"Oh… Uni!" Uni was genuinely surprised as she turned around and was now face to face with the young blonde woman,
"Oh… B-sha, right?" She asked amicably, this had to be one of the first times she had ever interacted with the shrewd businesswoman one on one,
"Don't tell me you went and almost forgot my name in one day haha, I'd charge you 1000 credits!" B-sha mildly chastised the candidate, who looked at her with mild confusion,
"We talked yesterday?" This was a potential clue, if she talked with B-sha, maybe she remembered what happened to her that could have led to her waking up in the situation she did.
"Hmm? Yea? You bought that weird potion thing off me; don't you remember?" And just like that, B-sha had dropped a bombshell.
"Wait! You sold me what!?" Uni quickly closed the distance between the two as she practically yelled at the poor woman,
"Wait wait wait, you seriously don't remember?" B-sha tried her best to back away from the girl, who closed the distance again,
"No, I don't remember anything! What did you give to me!" Uni hounded the saleswoman, who nervously chuckled,
"Oh… Uh… I think I have to go to work actually" B-sha spoke as she tried to escape, only to be grabbed by the lastationette, "Eep! I don't know what it was! Some weird potion maker gave it to me! I swear! She had big gloves, and… and a rabbit hat! She told me to sell it and report to her any potential side effects!" B-sha quickly explained, and Uni could only sigh, knowing exactly who was responsible, loosening her grip, she looked the gold third in the eyes,
"What exactly happened"
"Well…"
Uni sighed as she walked the streets of Planeptunes capital city. She had only come so far out of her way to try and hang out with Nepgear, but, just like what felt like every other time she had tried, she couldn't go through. Her embarrassment getting the best of her,
"Gah! Why is it so difficult!? She's supposed to be my best friend…" She whined, almost at her wits end. Why? Why couldn't she just say what she meant? Why? Why did every time she had to say something her brain demanded she hide the meaning? Was she born this way? Was it her unyielding fate? Was there anything she could do?
"Hey! Uni!" An enthusiastic voice called out to her, turning her head to spot the energetic former gold third of Planeptune,
"Oh… Hey, B-sha was it?" Uni responded, her voice with not half the usual enthusiasm it had,
"Hmmm? You doin ok?" B-sha asked, sure she didn't know Uni all that well, but even she could tell something was weighing heavily on her mind.
"No, not really…" Uni sighed as she explained, receiving a look urging her to elaborate, "It's just that… every time I try and hang out with Nepgear, or I'm around her, I just, never say what I mean. There are so many things I want to tell her, but I can never get myself to say them…" Uni complained, feeling a mild amount of comfort in knowing that she had at least told someone, anyone.
Meanwhile, B-sha could only feel her eyes turn into dollar signs, this was perfect. It was a few weeks ago this weird potion maker had given her one of her newest creations, trusting her saleswoman skills to enact a live test, "Hmmm, well Uni, I might have a solution for you!" B-sha smiled as she started her pitch,
"You do!?" Uni felt her eyes brighten up as she looked at the blonde,
"Mmhm! I just so happen to have the first 'anti-tsun potion'! And it's all yours for the low low price of 5,000 credits!" B-sha proudly declared, and Uni could only squint her eyes,
"5,000?" She seemed baffled, there were very few potions in Gamindustri that would fetch that kind of price tag! What kinda idiot did B-sha take her for?
"10,000"
"Ok, ok! You greedy…" Uni mumbled the next few words under her breath, and B-sha could only smirk, "Here!" Uni forked over the credits, and B-sha nodded as she handed over a suspiciously purple potion. Deciding to waste no time, Uni gulped as she popped off the top, downing the contents,
"Blech… it tastes like dogoo slime…" She bemused, before feeling her eyes dilate, and without another word, she turned on her heel, making her way to the Basilicom…
"Well… another satisfied customer" B-sha chuckled to herself, selling the 500 credit potion for 5,000 was a stroke of genius if she had to say…
"Wait, you sold me a 500 credit potion for 5,000!" Uni yelled, half tempted to smack her, this was borderline criminal!
"Sorry all transactions are final" B-sha winked as she gave her a thumbs up, and Uni could only roll her eyes, but, at least she finally had an explanation, with a sigh, Uni spoke up again,
"Thank you B-sha, that at least explains a… few things" Uni sighed, as she waved her hand, taking off towards the basilicom once more, she almost had an obligation to explain things to Nepgear, but… did she really want to? After all, she had finally done it. She had spoken her mind. She had said everything she wanted to, and Nepgear even accepted her feelings! So then…
Why did she still feel so bad? Why did she feel a pit in the heart of her stomach? Was there something more to it? Was this not truly not what she wanted? If it wasn't, what part of it was what upset her so much?
Slowing to a stop, Uni considered it for a moment. It wasn't what she did, it was how she did it. It was… it was… it was that she forgot it. It was that she didn't do it herself. She didn't say it, the weird potion made her. She loved Nepgear, and if she wanted to be with her, then she had to tell her. Herself. She owed it to Nepgear, and she owed it to herself.
With a determined look on her face, Uni continued her march. Quickly finding herself in the basilicom once more. Striding into the main room with confidence, she looked around, seeing only Neptune present in the room. Half tempted to make good on her threat from earlier, Uni repressed the thought, as she announced her presence,
"Ahem… M-Miss Neptune?" She nervously started up, the weight of what she had shown up to do finally settling in her system,
"Hmm? What is it, Miss Ratings Bumper?" Neptune responded casually, still focused on whatever game she was playing at the moment, Uni gritted her teeth for a moment, electing to ignore the affectionate nickname.
"Uh… Have you seen Nepgear?" She asked, already knowing she wouldn't like whatever Neptune had planned in her head, yet, in her head, she didn't anticipate what Nepune's response would be, pausing her game, she turned her head on a swivel to eye the Lastation candidate,
"Why do you wanna know?" Neptune spoke in a tone unlike her usual goofy aloof voice, and Uni was caught somewhat surprised,
"What?"
"I said. Why do you wanna know? What do you plan on doing? I may be the usually goofy, amazingly benevolent ruler of the most awesomest nation ever; but I'm also a big sister." Neptune spoke with a serious tone, and Uni couldn't help but gulp, "I respect ya, Uni, but I have to protect my Nep Jr." The goddess of purple stared into Uni's very soul, who could only feel her resolve weaken even further,
But. Just when it felt like she might lose it entirely, Uni steeled her nerves, as she remembered why she had to do this.
"Miss Neptune, I'm sure you have somewhere in your mind an idea of what happened here, and you may be right. But the truth is…" Taking a deep breath, Uni returned her opponent's stare, "I, I tried to cheat. I tried to sidestep what it means to love someone. I love Nepgear, and I need to tell her that myself, I can't rely on some magic or anything else to get there. I need to do it. Myself." Uni triumphantly declared, and Neptune and her shared a look for a few moments, before Neptune sighed, eventually giving in,
"Fine. She's in our room. But I swear on the true goddess, if I try and go take a nap and I see-" Neptune started, before getting cut off,
"You won't!" Uni embarrassedly yelled, her face exploding in red, before quickly taking off down the hall, leaving the goddess in her lonesome.
Letting out a deep sigh, Neptune gently set down her controller as she thought things over. She couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her gut, Nepgear wasn't her little girl anymore, she wasn't the girl who would hide behind her, she wasn't the girl who wouldn't go anywhere without her anymore. Although, Neptune supposed, she knew that. It was just another sign of it. Perhaps, it was Neptune who needed to mature… and perhaps she was starting to realize it.
Standing in front of the door, Uni took a deep breath. This was it. There was no turning back now. Shakily she raised her hand, as she gently knocked, soon hearing the voice of the woman inside,
"Who is it?" She gently called, out, as Uni took another breath,
"It's me. Can I come in?"
"Oh, Uni, of course." Gently, Uni did as she was instructed, entering the room, making sure to close the door behind her, before making her way fully into the shared bedroom of the nep-sisters. "Do you need something? I thought you went back to Lastation" Nepgear asked, and Uni gulped. This was it.
"Nepgear…" She started; she knew what she had to say. But nothing else in her life had ever been as difficult as this, "I need to tell you something." Uni spoke, her tone as level as she could manage, and Nepgear looked back with slight confusion,
"What is it?" She sounded almost nervous, after all that had happened in the last 24 hours, what else could there be? With hesitation, Uni continued,
"Last night… I…" Another deep breath. "It wasn't me" Nepgear seemed shocked by the words, no words came to her as Uni continued, "I… I bought some weird potion from B-sha, it was supposed to make me more honest, and apparently, it worked but I… I don't remember anything." Uni somberly explained,
"I see" Was Nepgear's simple response, her tone unreadable. Uni cringed for a moment as she looked at Nepgear's blank expression, before gathering herself once more.
"But! But… It's not what I did that makes me so upset about it, it's that. I tried to cheat you, I lied to you, I wasn't myself. So, listen when I say it now. Ok? Cause I'm only saying it once…" Feeling her heartbeat in her throat, Uni grabbed Nepgear's hands, "Nepgear, I love you. I have loved you for so, so long. I don't want to tell you that because of some crummy potion! I- I want to tell you, b-because I love you, and I want to be with you!" Uni clenched her eyes shut, as she practically yelled her declaration, only opening her eyes when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her,
"Goodness, Uni. Don't scare me like that" Nepgear quietly said, and Uni could only shakily return the gesture,
"I- I know… I'm sorry"
"So, what do we do from here?" Nepgear asked, sure she would never forget what had transpired last night, but clearly, it wasn't something that could be relied upon,
"I don't know. But I do know, whatever it is, I want to do it with you; and I don't want to miss a thing" Uni nuzzled into Nepgear's shoulder, as the two shared their embrace.
Hello all, I have a few reviews for last time, so let's get to it,
Th3Dissapointment- Haha, nice. Really tho, I'm glad you liked it, and I'm glad you enjoyed the first one as well, I just love those versions of the characters, so I'm glad to see I'm not alone
Gigarot- It was a happy coincidence as I thought of ways to resolve it that Halloween just so happened to be right around the corner, so I'm happy I was able to resolve it so nicely. As for Uni and Gear not noticing Ram's entrance, I think it makes for even more potentially hilarious situations of Ram trying to act as though she doesn't know anything, while panicking the whole time. And don't worry, Uni will definitely laugh at Ram's new hairdo
end5- Thank you very much as always, and I hope this one was to your liking as well
Tony Anderson- I do think I was able to write some pretty wholesome scenes with edgy Blanc and Rom + Ram, so I'm glad, in my opinion, that seems to be the type of thing I'm best at writing, especially if you see some of the other things I've written on here.
