Author's note: This chapter is mainly about the uncertainty Fate has with her feeling according to Chrono POV as Fate is more mature than Nanoha I guess? Nanoha is still as childish as ever so she will take more time to deal with her feeling for Fate. Thanks for those reviews BPHaru, Syaroan Li Clow and .net and for other readers, thanks for your support and continue to R and R. In case you all wonder, Fate has a bathroom in her room but she prefers the bigger bathroom. Quite selfish if you ask me.

Forgive me for my many grammar mistakes.

I'm planning to write some random short stories and I just started on one of them which is Nano Fate de but just part 1. So when I complete the story, remember to read it. I may insert Chrono X Amy and Hayate X Yuuno xD.

Reply to BPHaru: Now I have switch to OpenOffice as previously, I have been using Microsoft words so if any inconvenience caused, sorry. XD and thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.

Www.: Thanks for your review. Continue to read and review my story.

Chapter 3


Chrono POV

" We are home." Fate and I entered our apartment and I immediately detected the aroma that was wafting in the air.

" Welcome home, Fate and Chrono. I have just cook my famous Kimchi chigae ( Kimchi soup) which I believe is both of your favourite." Both of our eyes light up and we immediately put down our bags and fight for the usage of bathroom.

After much bickering, Fate used her famous words," Ladies first." and gave me a victory sign which I found it very annoying. I grumbled under my breath but I moved aside for her to enter the bathroom.

Realizing that Fate would take at least one hour for her bath, I might as well watched some shows and generally killed time. Sometimes, I did not understand why girls took a long time for bathing as bathing in my opinion was just for hygiene purpose, not for enjoyment at the expense of everybody time and Fate was no exception.

I surfed the channels, trying to find one channel that interest me but to no avail. I kept looking at the bathroom, praying for her to finish her bath but my prayers were of no effect and as time flowed, my patience was stretching thin.

Finally, I walked to the bathroom door and shouted, " Hey, you are taking too long to have one stupid bath. In case you never realise, there are other people that want to take a bath too."

She shouted back in the bathroom,"Little brother, be a gentleman and stop complaining about people bathing. Find something else to do instead of trying to peek at me. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, Chrono."

I blushed and turned away from the kitchen so as to prevent my mum from seeing my red face. Determined to get back at her, I said, " Sure, big sister. Like you have anything worth peeking. If you ask me, your figure resembles a twelve year old girl."

I then walked off and bumped into my mum, Lyndi Harlown. She gave me a disapproving look coupled with an evil grin and said loudly," Chrono, you should not say of your sister like that. Even if she has a figure of a kindergarten kid, you must lie that she has a supermodel figure and she looks the best in the world."

I rolled my eyes at my mum words and she winked at me, putting three fingers up and slowly count as she put one finger down. When she counted to three, Fate opened the door and glared at us with her towel wrapped around her.

She then looked at me and I realised at that point of time that I did not understand the true meaning of fear.

After dinner, Fate surprisingly entered my room. She lied on my bed and giggled as she rolled around which worried me as she had never been so childish all her life. I turned my chair to look at her and said, " Are you here just to mess my bed?"

She stopped and gave an apologetic smile. " Hey Chrono, I want to ask you a question. Promise me you won't laugh or give any stupid reaction."

" Sure, shoot off your question." I was interested and listened attentively to her question.

" Chrono, what is the feeling of liking somebody." She gave me a glare as though she was expecting me to laugh.

I was struggling to hold the laughter rising in me but I kept a straight face. " Why do you want to know? You have somebody you like?"

Seeing her blushing, I almost burst out laughing but I managed to restrain myself. The nightmare of the bathroom incident still haunted me and I would never forget that painful moment forever in my life.

" I'm not sure that I like her. It's just that I feel attached to her and that she always attract my attention whenever I see her. Every time I close my eyes, my mind will drift towards her and it is quite scary if you experience it." She hugged her legs near her and stared at me.

I sighed and gave an amused look to Fate. " Well, that's certainly sound like you like that person, seeing how that person occupies your mind at every moment. Anyway, you actually like a girl?"

Fate refused to look at me and turned her head away but I could see a red tinge on her cheek. " Yeah... I am strange isn't it? I actually like a girl, a girl for goodness sake. Do you know how wrong is that? Sometime, I wonder if I am normal or not."

She looked troubled and I thought I saw a glimmer of tears on her face but I guessed that was my imagination. I could never pictured her crying anyway, such was the impression she gave me since we were young.

" Fate, you are normal. It does not mean liking somebody from the same sex means you are different from anybody. If you like that person, so be it. Why should you care whether she is a boy or a girl. The most important thing is that you must follow your heart and accept what you are. I don't give a damn of who you like as you will always be my big sister, Fate Testarossa Harlown."

She looked at me as though I had grown horns on my head or wings on my back and I won't blame her as even I was impressed at my words.

" But will she accept it? What if she reject...reject me? Then I...I...don't know what to do Chrono. Our friendship has just start and I don't want it to end so soon. Chrono, i'm scared. This love is not normal at all, in fact it should not exist at the first place."

She started to cry and I was perplexed. An angry Fate was fine but a crying Fate was out of my league. I then realised that she was really scared and felt insecure of her feelings towards that girl.

" Don't worry so much Fate. All I can say is that if you like her, go for it. Don't hide it in your heart or you will regret it in the future. Mum and I will always be there for you." I gave her a gentle smile and gave her a hug. Come to think of it, it had been 5 years ever since I hugged her.

She cried into my shirt and I just kept quiet and continued to hug her, hoping to reassure her and gave her a sense of security. Then, I felt her body slackened and her cries starting to subside. I looked at her in alarm and realised that she had fell asleep.

Seeing that I had no choice, I put her gently on my bed and covered her with my blanket then I walked to the kitchen to grab a cup of water. My mum who I suspected was standing all the while outside my room, gave me a teasing look and said," Aww, Chrono speech is so touching and loving. He has finally grown up."

I ignored her and continued to walk to the kitchen. That is the last time I will discuss any relationship problem with a girl. Anyway, I wonder Nanoha knows about Fate's feeling.

Yuuno POV

" Wahahaha, Yuuno you totally suck in video games. Sometime I feel so sorry for you." Nanoha laughed as she defeated me for the fifteenth times.

I gave a glare at Nanoha and said," Who is the person that is the bottom of the class for today class test. Unlike somebody, I have no time to play games all day."

She pouted and threw a pillow at me which I dodged easily. " Hey, you are mean. I am just too tired on that day when we have the test so I flunk it. Not my fault you know and the most important thing is, I have a life."

"Uh huh. That does not explain why you achieve consecutive bottom three positions in our class ranking." I replied as I tried to dodge her attack.

" Humph, so what? Since you are so smart, prove it by defeating me."

I groaned when she again defeated me and she gave me a victory sign. I put the controller down and switched off the game console which Nanoha muttered," Sore loser". I looked at her and said," Now, shouldn't you be in your room? It is getting late and you should go to sleep."

She twirled her long hair and gave a cute frown. " It's too early Yuuno. Please, let me stay in your room for a while."

I sighed and just nodded my head. Then I suddenly had an idea, a wonderful idea in fact. I asked her," Nanoha, why don't you call Fate and talk to her. You can enhance your friendship and cure your boredom, killing two birds with one stone."

Nanoha gave a nervous laugh. " Nyahaha, maybe next time. Yuuno, may I ask you something?"

I gave her a strange look. Normally she is direct with her questions and not beat around the bush. She is funny today. I nodded my head and she gave me an uncertain look which gave me the shiver.

" Yuuno, what is your opinion of Fate."
