Author note: Finally, this chapter will be mainly about the starting of Nanoha and Fate relationship. At first, I want to elaborate more on their pasts in the starting few chapters as they will have a great impact in the future but I change my mind and want their pasts to be slowly revealed as the story continues. Please review my work so I can improve the story and have more motivation to continue. xD Also, Chrono age is 16 just like Yuuno and Nanoha. Oh and Fate studies in the same grade as Nanoha and Yuuno. The reason will be slowly revealed.
Reply to BPHaru: Thanks for your review, really appreciate it. xD. I will not kill Nanoha or Fate in the story so don't worry and yes, I intend to use 3rd person POV when they had become a couple so I can write their intimate moments and that I would use other person POV too beside Yuuno and Chrono. I just use Bardiche as a comic relief character btw. Continue to review xD.
Reply to Syaroan Li Clow: Well, the style I am using is that I intend to take the POV of Yuuno and Chrono as being guys; I can have an easier time expressing their feelings. Sorry for the hint on the death of character. T.T Rest assured it will not be Fate and Nanoha as the death will have quite a big impact in the story. xD.
Chapter 2
Yuuno POV
"Hey Yuuno, wake up. You are going to be late for school." I ignored the voice and covered myself with the blanket, hoping to block out the irritating sound.
Then I felt somebody grabbed my blanket and pulled it off me then somebody whispered into my ear," If you don't wake up, I will take a picture of you drooling and post it on the class blog!"
I immediately woke up groggily and let out a string of curses under my breath which Nanoha heard and frowned at me. "Hey, no more vulgarities or no breakfast for you." I gave a glare at Nanoha and staggered towards the bathroom.
"Yuuno, be careful as the bathroom floor is wet as I just." "NANOHA!!!!!"
Nanoha gave a sigh and muttered under her breath," I am late again in my warning today."
While we were walking to school, I gave a yawn while Nanoha was talking about her schedule today. I was very bored as her schedule never changed and I had already tell her umpteen times but either she ignored me or she did not understand my words though I suspected the latter.
Then Fate appeared with her blond hair being allowed to let down and following behind her as she walked towards our school. Nanoha saw her and again pushed me to one side and ran towards her like a puppy seeing a bone and running to get it.
I rolled my eyes as Nanoha hugged Fate tightly again and Fate having a slightly exasperated look on her face. I pitied Fate but come to think of it, Nanoha had never been so friendly towards somebody except me but that's because we knew each other since we were born. I could never understand girls sometime or maybe, only Nanoha.
Nanoha then grabbed Fate's arm and while holding her tightly, told her about her schedule today. I shook my head and followed behind them, happy at the peace I finally had in exchange for Fate sanity.
Then I saw a boy with black hair walking beside Fate and Nanoha. He looked mature for his age but he was quite short, maybe until my nose. I was puzzled at his appearance and remembered clearly that I had never seen him in our school before yet he was wearing our school uniform.
I then walked faster and managed to catch up with them. The boy gave me a surprised look then he said to me," Hi, are you Yuuno Scrya?" I was startled at the mention of my name and obviously, my surprise showed on my face as he gave me a grin. He then said," My name is Chrono Harlown. Pleased to meet you."
I replied," Pleased to meet you too. How do you know my name anyway?" He smiled and motioned towards Fate and said," Well, my sister has been telling about her and you so I can sort of guess who you are."
Sister? I looked at Fate then I looked at Chrono. They did not even look like each other and Chrono answered my question," We are step siblings so we may not look like each other." He then looked at Nanoha and me questioningly and I immediately answered the question that was forming in his mind.
"Nanoha and I are just childhood friends. You can say that we are just like siblings despite what many people say about us." He nodded his head then we started to chat with each other while Nanoha was still expressing her love to Fate. Sometime, life can be cruel especially to the person who attracted Nanoha.
During lunch time, Nanoha, Fate, Chrono, Hayate, Vita (a cousin of mine) and I went to the rooftop to have our lunch. I found out that Chrono went into the same class as Vita and more surprisingly, Vita actually had a good impression of him. Normally, Vita was hostile towards guys except me and that she always thought guys were jerks. So it was a major accomplishment for Chrono to actually get into her good books within a day. Wondered how he did that?
As we were eating and chatting happily, Nanoha was flirting with Fate as usual. She grabbed Fate bento and told her that she wanted to feed her or else she would not get her lunch. Fate could only sighed and agreed to Nanoha demand and now, she was just like a baby being fed her food by Nanoha.
As for Nanoha, she had been saying," Open your mouth wide Fate" and, "there you go," those kind of words. I could not help but smiled at Fate expression while Chrono could only gave a sheepish look at Fate when she flashed a pleading look to us. Hayate giggled softly while Vita treated Nanoha's action as though it was very normal which it was to us at least.
Finally, Chrono could not stand it much longer after throwing his arms to the sky in exasperation, he walked back to his classroom and Vita also followed suit. Hayate and I looked at each other then we decided to give the couple some privacy and walked back to our classroom, ignoring Fate desperate look at us. Oh well, people have to die one day I suppose.
3rd person POV
Fate groaned internally as she saw her last hope disappeared when Hayate and Yuuno, the only two persons that could stop Nanoha, left her with Nanoha. When Nanoha wanted to give her another spoonful of rice, she said," Hey Nanoha, the rest have already go back to class so why don't we go back too? Lunch time going to end anyway?"
Nanoha smile widened and she said happily," Really? That's great as finally, we have more time to ourselves Fate."
Fate gave a faint smile at Nanoha words. She liked her cheerful personality, that was for sure but she could not understand why Nanoha had keep clinging to her as they were just normal friends. Their friendship was just one month old so it was strange that Nanoha paid so much attention to her. Personally, she had never seen a person so enthusiastic and cheerful such that people would feel happy just by being at her side.
"Hey, open your mouth or else you can't eat your yummy bento." Nanoha said cheerfully as she used the chopsticks to poke at her mouth and Fate could do nothing but followed her order. Fate then muttered," please stay by my side and continue to feed me forever."
"Huh? Do you say something?" Nanoha suddenly leaned near Fate with their noses almost touching each other. Fate fought to keep the blush from appearing on her face as her vision was filled with Nanoha worried face. She shook her head desperately and stammered," No… I…um…no…I never say anything. Haha, you m. must be imagining."
Nanoha let out a sigh of relief and to Fate relief also, she pulled away from her. Nanoha put down the bento which was empty to Fate surprise and she said," Hey Fate. Are you comfortable with me?"
"Huh? What are you talking about," Fate asked. It was strange of her to ask such a question.
Nanoha said," Well, I notice that you always look uncomfortable whenever I am near you Is my actions bothering you, please tell me so if it they bother you, I promise I won't do them again. Don't lie to me Fate."
Fate looked at Nanoha, surprised at the serious tone. For the first time, Nanoha let slip of her mask and showed the vulnerability and uncertainty in her. All along she had been happy and always attempted to make other people happy but Fate had always suspected it was a mask to protect her fragile heart and now, Nanoha confirmed Fate suspicions.
A surge of feeling raised in Fate and she hugged Nanoha tightly and whispered in her ear," Don't worry Nanoha. Continue to be like yourself. Don't think negatively of yourself as you are certainly not bothering me or other people. To say the truth, I find your actions strangely refreshing if that is the word as those actions come from your heart and not just pretence like so many people. So Nanoha, remember that your actions epitomise your own personality and causes you to be so cute and endurable I guess."
Nanoha said softly," Thank you Fate. I really appreciate that."
Fate smiled and when she felt dampness on her uniform, she sighed and hugged Nanoha tighter. Guess we will be late for class.
Yuuno POV
I was secretly anxious when class started and Nanoha had not come back to class. My eyes met Hayate and I realized that she was worried about Nanoha too but I hid my anxious and mouthed the word," Fate" and she nodded as she understood the meaning of my word.
Nanoha had never been late for class and even Mr Okazaki was surprised when he saw that Nanoha was not in class. Just when I was about to ask Mr Okazaki for permission to look for Nanoha, she arrived in typical Nanoha entrance.
She barged into the class then lost her footing and fell onto the floor, hitting Mr Okazaki and causing him to fell on her which was quite painful due to his weight as Mr Okazaki was one of the fattest teachers in our school. Nanoha let out a groan then said," Ahahaha, I see stars sparkling in the sky…"
While the other students went to help Nanoha to get rid of Mr Okazaki, I leaned against the window and gave a smile. Yup, she was Nanoha Takamachi alright.
After school, Nanoha and I walked back home as usual. She was again emphasizing how rotten her day was by talking and using hand signs and fortunately, I did not understand anything and did not wish to do so. I could only try to hold back my yawn to maintain a look of pity as she continued to talk. Then when we saw Fate and Chrono walking together, I quickly grabbed Nanoha bag and walked towards them. Giving a look of surprise which turned to a huge smile, she ran towards Fate and repeat what she had been doing to me except with a tight hug.
I looked at Chrono who laughed at me having to carry two bags before Fate threw her bag at Chrono which hit him at his forehead. He gave an incredulous look at Fate who ignored him then at me which I gave a smirk. He gave a resigned look and carried her bag just like me which made me happy to have a companion.
Then when I looked at Fate and Nanoha, I was surprised to see Fate laughing at Nanoha and that the laugh she gave was genuine and not just for the sake of entertaining Nanoha. As both of them laughed and talked to each other, somebody spoke behind me.
"They sure are close huh? I cannot believe Nanoha can actually cause Fate to accept her." Chrono gave a smile and I replied," Yeah but what I am truly amazed is that Fate is willing to accept such a huge responsibility."
He gave me a puzzled look and I just said," You'll see soon enough."
