xYuki - The novel will get a spam updating soon. I'm getting a little too busy so I want to finish the books as fast as I can. So for now, please ignore the errors. Team GEMINI has been so busy with life... we actually only have three active members. Myself, 雛森.N, and TruePrime (who will be going on slight hiatus soon).

Once again I apologize for the inconvenience... seriously, it's been so busy we had to post the stories in one go. LOL :B And now to quietly step back for who knows how long.

When The Unstoppable Force Collides With The Immovable Object

Chapter 5

Love Is Blind


Nanoha returned to her work place dutifully about half an hour later, her mind wandering over to the stormy eyed teenager with long citron colored hair. The way she talked to her had said it all, "Stay away from my Fate," but Nanoha wasn't the type of girl who would back down from an adversary, at least one that looked like she belonged in a mental institute.

Leaning back into her chair, Nanoha sighed and looked up at the slowly spinning ceiling fan. The windows were all closed and the door was shut tightly, the weather was rather mild, but the fan was still needed to make it comfortable. A sigh escapes her lips and Nanoha finds herself chasing the fan's blades with her eyes, just lost in the hypnotic spinning.

A knock on the door snaps her out of her tranquil trance, and soon Nanoha found herself looking at the world in a grimmer state.

"There's a girl prettier than me in Fate's life," was her final thought before putting on a smiling face.

The day went by slowly after that. A lecture about how vasectomies worked, the joys of STD's, and what you shouldn't do when you get a "boo-boo". Nanoha tapped her stick of chalk on the board three times, her kanji halted in mid stroke, "You know, I totally forgot what I was going to say."

The class groaned and started to laugh when Nanoha's shoulders slumped forward.

Groaning, Nanoha shut her book and placed it on the corner of desk. "I really can't remember anymore," Nanoha mumbled with a blush on her face. "Bah, whatever! Since I'm in such a good mood no homework for today."

"Oh my God! It's a sign of the apocalypse!" one student shouted in shrilly voice, his dark brown eyes wide in fear.

Surprisingly Nanoha's laziest student said, "Sensei, I object! You've always given us homework; it would feel weird if you didn't give us any!"

Nanoha stared at the short haired boy with a slack jaw, "Um, now I'm scared too."

The class settled down when the class representative stood up and demanded that they all sit down and quite literally "shut up", even Nanoha was subjected to the representative's angry rant. After apologizing many times, Nanoha sat on her desk with her arms and legs crossed. Swishing her ponytail to and fro, Nanoha said, "Who's up for a game of twenty-one questions? Since there's twenty-one of you, you can each ask me one question about anything."

"Okay!" the class said excitedly.

"Hm, Miku-chin you first." Nanoha pointed at the long-haired teenager and smiled.

Stumbling over her words when Nanoha had called her by her first name, Miku immediately blushed. "Sensei!"

"What?" Nanoha grinned. Miku shook in anger and huffed, her arms crossed over her chest. "Aw, is Miku-chan angry?"

"Sensei, just for that, I'm asking you this," Miku grinned evilly, "Who did you lose your first kiss to?"

Nanoha froze and stammered, "T-To my best friend while we were in the changing room. She tripped, that's all. I swear." Realizing what she had just said, Nanoha blushed and added, "Keep the questions to biology related topics please!"

"Sensei, what size are your breasts!?"

"Next!"

"Sensei, take your top off!"

Instantly Nanoha's hand went to her shirt's collar, her fingers coiling around it tightly. "That wasn't even a question!" Nanoha shouted red in the face.

"Sensei, Sensei, how's your fiancé in bed!?"

"Amazing, now shut up!" Nanoha screamed shrilly. "No more questions! You're all writing a ten page essay on a hormone of your choice, due tomorrow!"

All the students paled significantly and a high-pitched scream exploded from their collective voices.

Ripping her hair tie out of her hair angrily, Nanoha's long sienna hair fell down to place in a silky ripple. "Bunch of perverts..." she growled angrily, her hand running passed her right temple and through her hair. "You better all start those essays now while you can. You all still have about twenty minutes left till class ends." she added with a huff.

The time flew by quickly and Nanoha's mind drifted back up to the ceiling fan, the sound of angry grumbles and rushed pencil scratches disappeared into the background.

Bbbbrrrriiiiiinnnngggggg

The sound of the final bell snapped Nanoha back into her senses; the students were already getting ready to leave. "All right, you all get out of my classroom." Nanoha said pointing to the door.

After the students left the classroom, Nanoha spent a minute or two to put things into her brief case and left the school premises and headed towards yet another.

She wanted to see her as fast as possible.

"Welcome back, Bumblebee." Nanoha said with a bright smile on her face as she greeted Fate.

She needed to see her as fast as possible.

"Glad to be back Ladybug," Fate said with as a sigh as she got into the passenger's seat. "School was seriously boring, and I was horny all throughout math class." Fate muttered angrily, buckling up her seat belt. "I blame you."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Rolling her eyes, Fate placed her hand over Nanoha's thigh; her fingers sliding in through the slit of Nanoha's skirt, her fingers brushing against Nanoha's panties on purpose. "I didn't mean it as a compliment," A heavy blush spread over the copper hair girl's face when Fate's hand grazed against… something sensitive. "I was telling you to take responsibility over your cruel and unjust actions against my libido."

Nanoha gulped, "I change my mind. I think I might be too old for you after all... get out of my car."

"What?"

"Yeah, I've been feelin' my arthritis picking up, my phalanges hurt like a real bitch, and I think I pulled a muscle opening the car door too!" Nanoha rambled, feigning a look of pain as she tried to loosen the tension on her right shoulder. "My shoulder's acting up; I think it's going to rain soon."

Fate looked at Nanoha with a quirked eyebrow and a bead of sweat on her cheek. "Do you really want me out of the car? Because I can get a ride from Testarossa..."

Nanoha activated the locks in the car.

"Yeah, I thought so."

Flashing at grin at the younger girl, Nanoha turned the ignition key and started up her car. "So how was school today?" Nanoha asked, carefully pulling out of the school's driveway. "And don't give me any of that, "I was horny throughout math class," crap."

"Che, fine." Fate grumbled, crossing her arms across her chest childishly. "I got forced into the part of Romeo, and you'll never guess who gets to be my lovely Juliet."

"Oh, oh lemme guess!"

"Go ahead."

"That girl that looks a lot like you..." Nanoha glowered.

"You guessed it." Fate replied with an exhausted tone of voice. "She's been following me all day asking when we should practice our lines... like jeez!" Fate threw head back into the headrest and closed her eyes. "You'd think she'd have that script memorized by now. We've been forced to play these bloody roles every three goddamned years."

"Really?"

"Yeah," Fate mumbled, "Every single year Headmistress forces all of the year one, two, and three classes to put on a play..."

"Nyahaha, that does sound like something Carim-chan would do." Nanoha giggled as she made a gentle turn. "All that it needs now is Hayate-chan's costu-" the look on Fate's face was all she needed to see. "-mes... wow."

"Yep," Fate growled, "It rotates too. First years get Cinderella, second years get Mcbeth, third years get Romeo and Juliet."

"Cinderella?" Nanoha dead panned.

"My bad, I meant Tsunderella." Fate apologized, correcting her mistake.

"That makes more cense... this is closet otaku Carim Gracia we're talking about."Nanoha added with a cynical smirk. "I don't know who started it. Carim-chan or Hayate-chan..."

"That's like asking, "What came first? The chicken or the egg." We'll never get answer." Fate said with a skeptical grin.

"True, but Carim-chan is about eighteen years older than Hayate-chan and I..." Nanoha mumbled to herself quietly.

Fate lurched forward and took a double take. "Ei-Eighteen!?"

"Yeah, you didn't know?" Nanoha said turning her head to look at her younger lover, seemingly unfazed by the large age gap between her best friend and her best friend's wife.

"I thought the Headmistress was around your age! Holy shit!" Fate exclaimed, positively horrified at the new knowledge she had gained. Slumping forward with her fingers lithely touching her forehead. "Everything makes so much sense now..." she said in a hushed whisper.

"Hayate-chan and I graduated from your school, and back them Carim-chan was only teacher."

"Wow... Headmistress is old..."

Nanoha eased on the break and slowed down to a stop. "Don't let Carim-chan hear that, she'd kick you out of school!"

"Pfft, as if she could!" Fate shouted out in a burst of laughter. "Alicia would have Headmistress's job if that happened!"

"Alicia?" Nanoha said with a quirked eyebrow.

Nodding her head, Fate turned on the radio. "She's that crazy girl that looks like me."

"Related?"

"Ew no way, that girl's crazy!" Fate shivered. "When we were dating she kept making me these horrible lunches that made me throw up after one bite, but then again, she's just so adorable when she pouts..."

Twitch.

"Ehe, but sometimes even in the most fairytale like romances falls to reality." Fate muttered dully. Fate turned her attention to the grim looking Nanoha and smiled, "Right now I can tell you're extremely jealous."

"Oh?" Nanoha huffed. "Now that I know what your ex-girlfriend looks like, I feel so inadequate."

The smile on Fate's face widened, "But who am I with now? Because in my opinion, Testarossa's the one that was lacking." Fate placed her hand over the hand Nanoha had on the gear stick and held onto it tightly. "I left her without a second thought when you asked me out."

"Really?"

"Yep, and I don't regret anything."

"Why? Testarossa-san seems like a swell girl." This was obviously sarcasm.

'True, she was extremely good in bed too,' Fate thought in her head, "She's totally boring, and I'm not narcissistic enough to be with someone that looks exactly like me."

"Nyahaha," Nanoha laughed happily. "You sure you two aren't twins or something?"

"I'm positive. Our parents ran test after test to figure it out, but in the end we just look alike." Fate said with a shrug. "Like my mirror image you know?"

"I... see."

"Anyways, enough about that crazy girl, how was your day?" Fate said with a sparkling smile, the topic completely changed.

Shrugging Nanoha stopped the car and allowed someone to make their turn. "I gave a killer bio test today."

"The one from yesterday?"

"Yep," Nanoha waved back at the other driver and proceeded, "I'm going to love grading these tests!"

"Ahaha, you want some help with that?" Fate offered a glimmer of excitement in her youthful eyes.

"Yes please." Nanoha replied before she turned on the radio for a little music.

"Hey-ho yo! Thanks for tuning to TeamG radi-O! The song you were listening to was, "Nostalgia," by Mizuki Nana!" the radio host shouted out excitedly. "If I had half her looks and single portion of her singing talents, I'd be—I'd still be a radio talk show host, never mind."

"Lame." both Nanoha and Fate say flatly.

"Next we have, "Love IS War," by everyone's rising angel, Alicchant!" the Dj cleared his voice and laughed, "Never thought our lovely Alicchant would release such a bold declaration of war in the game of love! I wonder who the poor sap is? I sure don't wanna be him!"

A final message from the Dj lead to the sound of the song playing.

I have nowhere else to go in the searing heat of this love

The grey clouds followed by the sound of clattering monochrome

Even the sunlight's shadow at dusk is changing

Fate suddenly tensed, her face becoming contorted with conflicting emotions. "Can we change to a different station?"

"Why?" Nanoha asked, she was clearly enjoying the song. "I kind of like it."

Fate grimaced and said, "I don't like it. It doesn't suit her voice."

"You listen to her?" Nanoha asked curiously.

"No, not really. She's really popular in our school." Fate replied, her body tensing.

Nanoha hummed and tapped her finger along with the beat. "I wonder what she looks like? She's always wearing something to cover her eyes."

"Uh..."

"I wonder what color her eyes are?"

The world is blurring, and even so... why do I still love you?

I understand it all, but what should I do?

How can I? And what can I do?

I was so foolish

Shifting in her chair uncomfortably, Fate pressed her forehead against the cool tempered glass of the window, her eyebrows furrowing together. She made a sound of displeased and sunk further down her seat.

Shall we begin? Because this is war!

You looked so happy as I watched you from a far

A love becoming so precious... this is a sin

I'll show you how I really feel!

Nanoha frowned at the way Fate acted and contemplated about changing the station to something else. Taking her hand off of the gear stick, Nanoha shook Fate's shoulder saying, "Fate-chan, what's wrong?"

"N-Nothing. How's that beat? It's awesome huh?" Fate said with a nervous laugh, her face still pressed up against the window.

It seems that the megaphone I screamed into just now was broken

How much further must I stretch myself? I don't need to be in your field of vision

Ahh, before I noticed it the sky had cleared up, this really doesn't suit me...

I can't hold my feelings back any longer

How can I? And what can I do?

I'm not crying, but you know...

"I love you," Nanoha confessed, her hand leaving the gear shift and reaching out to touch Fate's cheek. The blonde's skin felt hot to the touch, yet cool to the senses. Nanoha felt the smile on her face widen when the blonde showed reaction to the physical contact.

Turning her head, Fate smiled and leaned into Nanoha's palm. The smile on her beautiful face priceless.

I love you

"So, 'Future Wife' what should we do tonight to consummate our engagement to one another?" Fate asked with her trademark boyish grin.

"Hm, I don't know," Nanoha mumbled, her eyes turning back to the road.

Let's fight this out! Go ahead, shoot at my heart

I'll quickly show you my skirt

I'll make your eyes look at me

Preparations for interception

This war scenario is still disadvantageous to me

"Would it happen to involve: no clothes, sweat, panting, and euphoric pleasure?" Fate assumed with a devilish grin. Nanoha's face quickly flushed. "Because if that's what you're thinking, you're wrong."

Nanoha gasped. "Oh really?"

"Yes, really."

"Tell me?

Love truly is blind

And now only your kiss can wake me

"I wanna take you out tonight—my treat." Fate answered proudly. "I was thinking about this for the entire afternoon, and I think I have it down to perfection."

"Really now?" Nanoha laughed skeptically.

"Think I'm lying?"

"Never said it, it's just... tomorrow's a school day."

Fate sputtered and began to laugh, "Oh that's a good one, Baby. Me, caring about school?" Wiping a tear from her eye Fate started to laugh even harder, "Oh that is rich!" Nanoha rolled her eyes and hit the brakes. Fate's laughter suddenly stopped and she stared directly into Nanoha's perplexed eyes, "But I'm still richer."

"Creamy too." Nanoha added with a smirk.

Taking one final left turn, the apartment complex they lived in came into sight. A car was pulling out from the underground parking forcing Nanoha to brake momentarily. After the other car got back onto the road, Nanoha gently turned her wheel and guided the car into the opening to the underground parking lot.

"Look Fate, let's keep it simple tonight, and do whatever you want to do on the weekend." Nanoha said trying to form a compromise with her hasty girlfriend. "I'll let you do whatever you want to me, and I won't complain sound good?"

"What's the downside?" Fate asked.

"You go to school tomorrow. Carim-chan would kill me if you missed another day on my account." Nanoha answered with a heavy sigh, "She's really scary when she gets serious."

"Oh I know. I know all too well!" Fate agreed. "Headmistress gives a killer detention... one hour trapped in a room with... Testarossa." Shivering when she uttered the vile name.

That night, the two lovers laid in bed late at night after doing what they had missed that afternoon. They spent the time laughing at how jealous Fate's look alike was and made poor impressions of her, except for Fate who got the bossy girl's personality dead on.

Their engagement completely forgotten... save for the matching rings they wore on the hand that was closest to their hearts.

"So about that play, when was it again?"

"Hm, probably a month before exam month starts up." Fate said with a mischievous smile. "Friends, families, and lovers are all invited to it."

"Are you inviting me?" Nanoha dead panned. Fate nodded her head like an obedient puppy, Nanoha's obedient puppy. "Why?"

"You're my fiancee! Of course I want you there! Plus I'm the leading role!" Fate protested with a cute pout. "And I always get flowers from all these random people, I want flowers from you!"

"Eh?" Nanoha muttered. "So I don't even have to be there? I can just stop by in the end and toss you a dandelion?"

The look of hurt on Fate's face made Nanoha smile.

Putting a warm hand on her young lover's blonde head, Nanoha said, "Tell me the exact time and date, and I'll be there with a giant bouquet of flowers."

Fate's face lit up.

"As if I would miss seeing you in one of Hayate-chan's cosplay." Nanoha added with a grin. "If I'm lucky, I can convince Carim-chan to allow moe-items into the play!"

"Oh, those have always been in there." Fate replied with a nonchalant tone of voice. "I had to wear glasses and cat ears."

Nanoha gasped out in glee, "I can't wait to see that! Get me tickets as fast as you can, promise?"

"You got it."

"Nyahaha, thanks." Nanoha giggle as she snuggled in closer to Fate. Her eyes locked with a single patch of bruised skin at the back of Fate's neck.

She chose to ignore hicky.
