Lily Testarossa-san: Oh, I see. Then I shall do that here. I'm sorry if it's a bit confusing since I used to be a pace-writer. (Someone who suddenly shifts POVs without notifications) It was a bit of a habit, hehe. Thank you so much for the review!
Sammie-Chan89-san: Ah, yes it is possible. I used to be like that. *shot* until I changed my glasses. It could only be possible if the glasses are thick framed and has a striking color, red, green or in Fate-chan's case, pink. Thank you so much for the review!
Asuka47-san: Now that you say it. I didn't notice until you said it. XD! Thank you for reviewing!
devilhamster-san: May Fate-chan blow everyone away. Muahahahaha! Okay that was evil. I don't mind babbling, I love reading. And Thank you so much for reviewing!
Kode Dekka-san: Thank you! I was a bit afraid since I used to have awkward sentence structures, so yes. I'm glad you like it. Thank you for reviewing!
ShinJye-san: Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it how I wrote it. I'll do my best! Thank you for the review!
Monichanz-san: Nyahaha~ I'm sure you can write too! Everyone just needs a little push and of course inspiration *winks* Thank you so much for the review and the welcome! I'll do my best!
anthroposs-san: Thank you for the review! I will do that from now on. Habits are hard to kill. I'm so glad you liked my writing style.
AHaru-san: ah, thank you so much! Yes, I will change it from now on. Thank you so much for the review!
jab-san: Thank you! I hope you could point out those errors those, but I've found quite a few myself. Thank you for reviewing! And you are welcome!
passerby-san: Really? I didn't really think about that, since I thought it'd be normally to be shy if you bumped into your crush and it's your fault. And I think it'd be just normal for Fate to catch and play a lil' joke that Nanoha didn't think about but… I'll see about that and my plot. Thank you for reviewing!
I'll try my best to reply to everyone. If I'm not able to, I'll at least say thanks and a shout out. Thank you everyone! Now onto fluffs!
Chapter 2
Happenstance 02
Nanoha
I carefully walked to school, my eyes in pursuit of my much anticipated blonde. But to no avail, my morning has not been completed. I want to see her, and those eyes.
"Good morning, Arisa-chan, Suzuka-chan! Have you seen Hayate-chan?" I cheerfully greeted my friends running towards them when I spotted them near the gates.
"Ah, Nanoha. Hayate rushed in to the Student Council Room." Arisa answered as she pointed towards the club activities building. "I remember her saying 'Ask Nanoha-chan to go look for Fate Testarossa-Harlaown and bring her to the Student Council Room.' So there."
Eh? Why bring Fate-chan… I mean Harlaown-san? "Did she say anything why?" I asked as the two shook their heads. "I see. I'll get going then. See you two later!"
They waved at me as I hurriedly entered the school gates. I was continuously greeted by my underclassman with 'Takamachi-sama' or 'Nanoha-sama.' I just smiled and waved at them as I dashed inside the building. I never liked being popular. I don't even know what I did to reach this kind of level but… I really don't like it.
I scouted the second year building and went straight ahead to the library to find my flaxen headed target. She was too busy dunking her head on her book. I made my way to sneak behind her.
I was right behind her where I devilishly tried to steal her glasses so I'd be able to see her eyes. I forwarded two steps closer to her back… when she suddenly turned to look at me, still those glasses blocking my way.
"Party pooper." I sighed being caught in the act sneaking behind her. My prey just looked at me, leaned her head on one side and looked back at her book. I tried trying to sneak past her defences to her eyeglasses again, when she turned to look at me again. "Meanie." I muttered and just looked past her shoulders.
"I-… I-..Is there, something I can do for you Nanoha?" She asked me as she looked at her book again, in utter shyness. Ah, so cute.
Fate
"She jumped out of the balcony as he swiftly caught her. 'I love you, Mary Jane, let us leave this dark place and create a family of ours.' She hugged him in delight. 'Yes! Oh Yes! George! I will! Let us go!' But then suddenly a horde of horseshoe—" At first I didn't know what Nanoha was saying until I realized she was reading the book I was holding. Therefore I had closed it from her view. "Oh, a love story? Is it good?"
She must've thought now that I must be lonely and wanted some romance so I spent all my time in the library reading love stories. I can't let her know about it I should make an excuse… "Um... uh y-yeah! I-t… it's good."
She looked at me with curious eyes. I've never seen her up-close, so this is the first time I've noticed her features. Her sky colored irises looked at me as if it was digging up inside my soul. Her lopsided ponytail swayed with the wind as the open window whistled. The shining morning sun shone a good amount of her facial features. Her porcelain skin, her thin eyebrows…
"Umm… Fate-chan?" the –chan caught me off guard. "Oops... I mean Harlaown-san." She called to me again. I blushed. Hearing her voice say my name sounded so different. Normally only my family calls my name, and the head of the intercom club, Shari mentions it. Her voice was so sweet, and small. It felt so good… to be called by my name, by this person.
"F-Fate…F—ate is alright." I told her as I looked outside the window to hide my blush. "S-so… is there anything you need?"
"Hayate-chan told me that she needed you in the student council room." She told me. I raised my eyebrows in shock. This again? I stood up and walked. She followed me but I walked faster so it'd look like we aren't walking together. "Did something happen?"
Her question caught me off guard that made me halt my pace. But I kept on going on. I kept on being silent. And ignored her.
Nanoha
It seems like I touched something I should have not. I kept quiet, no matter how much her silence bothered me. It felt like forever just walking to the student council room. I opened the door for her, she slowly went inside, carefully knowing what she would do and where she would sit.
I sat right beside Hayate, as Fate-chan sat across her in the rectangle table. Hayate clasped her hands together and rested her chin on top of it.
"Harlaown-san…" Hayate said with a hint of seriousness as she glace at me from time to time. I do remember telling Hayate that I have a crush on someone… but I didn't say anything about who it is. "Someone reported to me, to have seen you smoking while wearing your school uniform. Hanging out with men on the Red Lights district."
I shot Hayate a look and raised my eyebrow. She just winked at me in return. I turned to look at Fate who shifted in her seat.
"I…"
I looked at her, stared at her as if I wanted to read her mind. How I wish I can. She looked uncomfortable under my look but I continued to look at her.
"I… did."
I wasn't surprised. I perceived her as someone who would shoulder somebody else's sin. "Hayate-chan. Can I ask the details passed for this accusation?"
"Hmm… it my notes it said… long blonde hair, dark violet eyes, the height is around 163cm." I raised my eyebrow. "Can you investigate this for me, Nanoha-chan?" I nodded and collected all the files and photos, including the address it was seen.
Fate-chan seemed to be surprised with the whole investigation idea. "Umm… why do you still need to investigate it?" Fate-chan asked.
Fate
This is the first time they had asked someone to investigate a case that involved me. Even though, just a bit, just a little bit, it made me feel relieved.
"I think it's about time we lift of your charges. The last set of Student Council must've hated you so much, huh?" Hayate, the student council president said as she winked at Nanoha. "Make sure you clean this mess, okie dokie, Nanoha-chan?"
Nanoha just saluted at her in enthusiasm. It made me chuckle a bit inside. But I can never let anyone know about my family circumstances… I could never let them…
Before I could say anything more, the bell rang. This morning felt longer than it should have. I thought this day was just normal.
I was wrong.
Third Person
"Ah~ How fun it is to just run amok." She straightened her clothing after stretching her arms. "So what should I do today?"
Fate
After school arrived. As usual I went to the library just to read the book I tried my best not to open while in class, cause I didn't want Nanoha to bother with me. She might get some minus reputation points if they saw her with me. Or maybe I was just thinking for myself.
I sat down the farthest table beside the window and opened my book. Before resuming from where my bookmark is, I looked at the oval.
"I want to run…" I whispered to myself. I was about to look at my book, when I saw a face not far from mine.
"Then you should." That face said. I stumbled backwards and ended up falling on the floor, with a loud… ow.
I looked at a dazed female in-front of me. Her slate blue eyes looking straight myself. Her clear image feeding into my eyes. Her mouth wide open, her hand stretched half-way.
I lifted up one hand to my face, and noticed something missing. I quickly looked around and found my glasses near Nanoha's feet. I went for a not so obvious dive to it, and wanted to wear it in a swift motion, but felt my hands held, "Don't."
I found her face so close to mine again, her breathe brushing onto my upper lip. She held onto my hand and looked into my eyes.
Nanoha
Her eyes were so beautiful… so beautiful… I forgot what was happening.
"Don't…" I told her. I moved my face closer to her eyes, shifting my vision from her captivating eyes, to her lips, and back to her eyes. I moved closer, and closer.
I could hear her loud heartbeat, or maybe that was my own. But…
"E-HEM!" I heard a familiar voice a certain short person and pushed Fate-chan away so I could stand up. I saw her quickly putting on her eye glasses and sitting on the chair.
"Vi-Vita-chan!" I panicked. I stood up and walked towards my short haired friend. "Sorry, wh-what is it?"
"Don't 'what is it?' me, you idiot! I heard a loud noise so I came to check. And it was just love birds trying to make out in the library." Vita-chan told me cruelly as she put her arms on her waist.
"We-we- we-weren't! I was just looking at her eyes since she told me it hurts, and needed someone to blow on it!" I did my best to save myself. "Sorry about that, Fate-chan. I just need to have a small talk with Vita-chan."
"I know what I saw, and it's not changing. Man! Sucks being the library committee officer!" Vita-chan said as she moved her arms from her waist to behind her head. "Ah, I want to go home!"
"Vita-chan! Really! I was just…"
Fate
K-k-k-k-k-kiss… Nanoha almost kissed me… she-sh-sh-she… was k-ki… I rattled my head left and right to clear my thoughts. I still ended up bringing my hand to my lips, and imagined how it would've been if she really did kiss me…
"How's your fantasy?" I heard a familiar voice coming from the bookshelf. "That was one hot girl. Takamachi Nanoha was it?"
I turned to look at her and gave her a glare. "Don't you dare, lay a hand on her."
"I won't, I won't. It's just that, interesting you know." She sat on the table in-front of me and looked at my face. "But it's still my best interest as to, where's your anger coming from. I just said that she's hot."
"I'm never gonna forgive you. If you laid a hand on her." I stared at her, if my eyes could actually do damage, she might've been injured right now.
"Well, whatever. Just keep at it what you're doing. I'm counting on you, Fate-chan."
Nanoha
I just kept on discovering more mysteries to her. And I can't bear it not being able to ask her about it. But during that fall… I loved it how her skirt rode up her thighs. I mean… why did she have a bruise on her thigh…?
"Fate-chan… what are you hiding?"
A/N: Well… that's about everything! I might not be able to update in a few days since I do have school. But I'll try my best to update frequently. My heart really smiled in happiness when I received everyone's reviews. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as you did from the previous one. I actually wanted to spill everything in this chapter, but I felt like it's too soon. I look forward to more of your love.
Thank you, Thank you! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'm having quite a bit of mixed feelings with this chapter, since I was not inspired the whole time I wrote it. But this is what I actually had in plan.
So for some laughs here's… an extra scene! That's a bit crucial to the storyline.
Student Council Meeting Room…
"Nanoha-chan… I heard you tried kissing Fate-chan?"
"D-Don't call her, Fate-chan when you barely know her! And I didn't try kissing her!"
"Ara, ara, you're blushing. And for all I know you barely knew her too…"
"I-I know that but! I can't help it… she's so pretty… and no! I didn't try kissing her!"
"Would you please stop contradicting your own words and just get on with it?" Hayate smirked as she planted an encouraging slap at Nanoha's back. "Go get her, Tiger!"
"That's so cliché, you know?" Nanoha looked at her with a glare. "But those red eyes… are just so… catching."
"Hmm, yes yes, those red eyes are catching." Hayate said as she sarcastically nodded, arranging files. "Wait, did you just say red?"
"Hmmm… Yes I did."
"So who's this one that's reported…?"
"…I thought you knew about it that's why you sent me investigating!"
"Oh that? I just said that so you'd get some of those 'love points' for saving her, you rabbit."
"Hayate-chan…"
A/N: Well… that's about it! Risa Arakawa now taking off!
