Reaching you
Chapter 7: First date!
"Hmm, looks like I've arrived on time." A blonde girl inhaled deeply to catch her breath.
She puts her hand over her chest as she takes several intakes of air to steady her thumping heart. After a few minutes, she looked at her watch to check the time. A smile appeared on her face feeling relief as she arrived on time. Looking around the place, she found a vacant bench near the fountain and sits on it.
The girl is currently inside Uminary plaza waiting for a certain brunette girl. They are supposed to meet up at 8:30 AM sharp and it's currently 7:50 AM. Hehe, I got here early than her. Now I could take my time and prepare myself. Her smile immediately falters when the nervousness she felt surfaced again. She knew that arriving at their meeting place early to prepare was only an excuse. She was actually very nervous about their first date. Fate was so worried that she couldn't sleep at all last night.
Sigh... I never thought my first date would be something so exciting yet scary…scary because I'm scared Nanoha would not enjoy this date with me and that I would mess up. Sigh. I know I'm a little pessimistic now, but can you blame me? I always dreamed of dating Nanoha and now that it's happening, I can't help but become worried about it. She sighed again, feeling more exhausted than before. She rested her elbows on her knees before covering her face as she let out a low growl in order to release some tension. She didn't mean it, but the action attracts attention to her causing some people that passed by to stare.
Fate immediately sits properly and checks how she looked for the nth time that day. Feeling self conscious, Fate fixed her long blonde hair. She wears a brown cap, a black long sleeve dress with yellow stripes with a black tank top under it. Dark brown skinny jeans adorned her legs and white flat shoes were worn on her feet. Thinking everything looks good, she checked her watch again. She sighed once more when she found out that only 5 minutes had passed since she got to the plaza.
Fate leaned back and watched the clouds move in the sky. After a few minutes, Fate was bored. She was feeling a little sleepy and she yawns and rubbed her eyes groggily. Thinking that maybe she should rest her eyes for a second, she closed her eyes to take a short nap. Fate was about to fall asleep when she heard whispering near her and so she opened her eyes. To her surprise, people, which were mostly girls, were staring at her and giggling to themselves when she stared back at them. Feeling embarrassed for some reason, Fate shrugged and decided to ignore the stares and dreamy looks the people were giving her.
She closed her eyes again after finding a comfortable position on the bench. Her eyelids felt heavier than before. She chuckled a bit at the thought that her body only felt sleepy now after all the events that happened yesterday.
xX~*~Xx
Yesterday 6:00 PM
Nanoha and Fate walked down the road going to Nanoha's house, while holding each other's hands with their fingers intertwined. The two walk silently, wanting the comfortable atmosphere around them to last.
Nanoha opened the door and was surprised by the confetti that suddenly pops in front of them falling on their face.
"CONGRATULATIONS NANOHA AND FATE!" everyone said in unison.
Momoko, Shiro, Hayate, her cousins and Lindy are there circling a table in the living room. There's a big cake in the middle as if celebrating a birthday for someone. Looking around, you can also see balloons scattered everywhere on the floor.
Momoko and Lindy are the first to approach the still shocked couple.
"Nanoha, I'm so happy for you! Your feelings are finally returned," Momoko said as she hugged Nanoha gently with tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh Mom, thank you!" Nanoha returned the hug removing her hands from Fate.
"Fate I knew it. You still feel the same way for Nanoha. I'm so happy you're able to express your feelings." Lindy cupped both of Fate's cheeks gently.
"Mom thank-" Fate's smile faltered when something clicked in her mind. "Wait a minute. How did you know?" Fate glares at her mom as she recovered from the shock.
"Ah, about that. Hayate called me earlier saying something good happened today and that I should ask Momoko to prepare and celebrate." Lindy clasped her hands together.
"What?" was all Fate could say. Her face was slowly turning red.
"It's a good thing you and Nanoha took your precious time together. Thanks to that, we were able to prepare things to surprise both of you."
"Okay, okay that's enough. Get inside you two." Momoko interrupted Lindy and Fate's conversation.
The two walk near the table when Hayate put her hands over the shoulders of Nanoha and Fate.
"I'm so happy my precious friends are together as a couple. It was really hard giving you two a push in your relationship, you know?" Hayate laughed and sighed in relief.
Fate was about to ask something, but Hayate interrupted her. "Anyway, why don't you two sit down and watch this movie especially made for the both of you." Hayate pushed the two to sit down.
Shamal handed some juice to Fate and Nanoha while they waited for the movie to start. Fate could feel her stomach tightening by the minute feeling something she won't like will surely happen.
"Shiro-san, is it okay now?" Hayate asked Shiro who is fixing the plugs of to connect a video camera to the T.V.
"It's okay now." Shiro said and immediately sat beside Momoko. He can't help the grin from forming on his lips from excitement on what Hayate wanted to show them.
Something is not right. Fate thought and looked at Hayate who is sitting a little further from Nanoha and Fate. Hayate looked back at Fate when she feels her gaze and she gives her a thumbs up and a grin.
"I'm sorry Nanoha." Fate's voice flowed out from the T.V.
Fate gulped nervously and slowly looked at the T.V. in front of her. To her horror, she saw herself and Nanoha only inches apart before she saw herself capture Nanoha's lips. It's the scene that happened earlier between the two. Watching the scene from earlier played in front of her, it makes her blush to a new level.
"Fate-chan, you…" Nanoha replied.
Fate smiled warmly when she saw Nanoha's reaction a second time and her eyes twitched for a second when she feels her heart skip a beat. She immediately snaps out of it when she remembered that she was supposed to stop this from playing before it gets out of hand.
"N-Nanoha, what should we do-" Fate asked Nanoha beside her, only to see her blushing and Momoko elbowing her as if to tease her. Fate realized that Nanoha was totally useless now. She could feel her soul escaping from her body because of the embarrassment she feels right now.
Fate stands up and immediately pushed the power button before walking to where Hayate sits. Fate put her surprisingly heavy hand on Hayate's shoulder. She inhaled deeply before she opened her eyes showing her how furious she is.
"Delete the video now and give me the pictures," Fate said in her cold voice.
Hayate paled and gulped nervously. She can't believe Fate could be a lot scarier than Nanoha. "W-wait Fate-san... I umm…someone help?" Hayate looked at the people that are currently in the room.
Vita glanced at Hayate for a second while giving her a look that said, "you-reap-what-you-sow", then proceeded to ignore Hayate's silent plea and ate the sweets Momoko brought.
Shamal stands up. "I'll go make some more tea and get some snacks." She smiled looking oblivious on what was happening. She knows better than to intervene with Fate's rarely change of mood.
Hayate grunts. She realized her cousins have already abandoned her, but a ray of hope flashed through her eyes when she spotted Lindy and Signum looking at her. She smiled and was about to say something, but as soon as they glanced at her, they resumed on what they are talking about and sipped some tea.
"They sure get along well." Lindy laughed as she takes a sip from her tea.
Signum smirked as she indulged herself on the smell of her tea before sipping briefly. "They sure do."
xX~*~Xx
After that, Nanoha and I cut the cake together as if cutting a wedding cake and they started clapping and congratulated us again. Of course Hayate took pictures and keep saying that she can't believe this day would come or something like that while crying slightly as if she just thought her child is all grown up now. I can't help, but think they were mistaking that day as our wedding day. Sigh…I sure sigh a lot.
"That Hayate! She keeps on doing silly things, but then again, she's done something good this time." Fate took out a piece of paper from her pocket revealing two tickets for an amusement park. It says:
FUNLAND grand opening
11:00 AM
Hayate gave Fate these tickets yesterday saying it was her way of apologizing for what happened. Still, it says it opens at 11:00 AM and it's only 8:00 AM. I guess we could waste time while waiting then.
A ray from the sun made her open her heavy eyelids a little. Even though it's still early in the morning, it's already hot outside. Maybe the summer season is already here. She furrowed her eyebrows as her brain kept thinking things although her body wanted to sleep. She clears her mind and slowly she starts drifting off to sleep again.
Small footsteps approach Fate and block the sun with its shadow. A girl smiled and sat beside Fate watching her peaceful face as she visits dreamland.
xX~*~Xx
"Hmm…" Fate moved her head slightly and felt more comfortable for some reason. The bench suddenly felt soft and smelt like roses. It was also warm that it made Fate smile and lean into the warmth. Fate felt the bench stiffen when she cuddled up close to-wait a bench can't be like that. Fate slowly opened her right eye to see the source of the warmth only to find Nanoha stroking her blonde hair gently with her left hand and smiled at her when she saw Fate waking up.
"Ah, you're awake now? Good morning Fate-chan." Nanoha smiled at her. Fate is completely awake now and realizes her position… she is currently resting on Nanoha's lap.
Fate gets up immediately with a blush spreading across her face. "N-Nanoha, when did you get here? And oh no! What time is it?" Fate checks her watch and it says 8:20 AM. Ten minutes have passed since she took her nap.
"Nyahaha, relax Fate-chan. I just got here and I felt bad waking you up, so I let you sleep," Nanoha explained scratching her face.
"What time did you get here? We were supposed to meet up at exactly 8:30 AM right?" Fate said fixing her shirt and sat closely beside Nanoha.
Fate examines Nanoha's dress. Nanoha tied her hair in a lopsided ponytail as usual. She wore a cute white v-shape dress and it stretched up to her hips with a black stripe spaghetti style shirt under it. She also wore a blue skirt and white sandals. Fate could smell Nanoha's perfume and shampoo when Nanoha moved closer to her with her hair tickling Fate's nose.
"I guess I got here as soon as you fell asleep. You arrived here earlier than me right? I thought I was the first one to arrive, but it looks like you beat me to it and- Fate-chan? What's wrong? You're staring," Nanoha asked curiously. She moved her face closer to Fate noticing her star shaped necklace slightly moving.
Nanoha waved her hands back and forth when she didn't hear any response from Fate. Snapping back to reality, Fate blushed and scratches her head. "Ah, s-sorry…I was a bit distracted there. You look beautiful today Nanoha." Fate smiled.
"Eh? T-thank you." Nanoha blushed instantly and averted her gaze from Fate to look at her feet. There's an awkward silence for a moment and Fate is the one that breaks it.
"U-umm Nanoha? Am I heavy?"
"Huh?" Nanoha was surprised by the sudden change of subject and slightly winces when she snapped her head back to look at Fate with wide eyes.
"I-I mean while I was sleeping."
"Nyahaha. Not really actually. Here…" Nanoha takes her cellphone out and shows a picture to Fate. Fate looks at it curiously before her eyes widened from what she saw.
"T-that's…"
"Nyahaha. I couldn't help, but take it. You're so cute, so I made it as my wallpaper." Nanoha sticks her tongue out. In the picture, Fate is leaning on Nanoha's shoulder sleeping and Nanoha was smiling and winking beside her.
"Nanoha delete it please."
"Nope. Don't want to."
"Eh? Then don't make it as your wallpaper."
"No can do Fate-chan."
"Fine! Just don't show it to Hayate. She will tease me to no end." Fate sighed in defeat much to Nanoha's amusement.
"Okay." Nanoha looped their arms together and rested her head on Fate's shoulder.
"You know Fate-chan… you're so popular."
"Huh? Where did that came from?"
"I mean those girls that are looking at us are giving me a death glare and when they stare at you they keep on giggling as if seeing a famous artist." Nanoha whispered in Fate's ears.
"Eh? So that's what that was all about." Fate sighed.
"Nyahaha. Well I can't blame them since you look really dashing today. Anyone would mistake you for a beautiful boy." Nanoha laughed while slightly nudging Fate's side when she started blushing.
"S-sorry. I dress plainly, huh?"
Nanoha giggled before playfully patting Fate's nose. "Silly Fate-chan, I love how you look today and more importantly…" Nanoha leaned into Fate's lips while removing Fate's hat.
Fate was confused as to why she did it and raised a brow when Nanoha lifted her hat closely to her face as if to cover their faces from the view of the audience around them. Fate moved her gaze to Nanoha to ask what she's doing, but she forgot about it when Nanoha's lips touched her own. Nanoha slowly opened her eyes and looked at some girls staring at them. She could see dark auras spreading and approaching her. As soon as their lips parted, Nanoha smiled evilly at those girls looking at them before pulling a dazed Fate away from the people ready to attack her.
"*Huff* *Huff* Phew that was a close one. I thought I was going to die there." Nanoha calmed herself down and caught her breathe.
"Geez Nanoha, you know better than to kiss there. Those girls were seriously following us with demonic auras. It's a good thing we lost them," Fate replied while crossing her arms. Unlike Nanoha, Fate looks fine from all the running as if running was the same as walking.
"Hmm, I guess… well, we still have time before Funland opens. Want to walk around?" Nanoha giggled before grasping Fate's hand.
xX~*~Xx
Funland 11:05 AM
"Wow…amazing! This place is so big!" Nanoha said looking around the place like a little kid. She drags Fate around wherever she finds something that catches her attention.
She is like a little kid. Fate giggled making Nanoha stop to look at her.
"What's so funny Fate-chan?" Nanoha asked as she crossed her arms together with a pout.
"I just thought of how cute you looked while exploring the place with a big smile on your face." Fate wraps an arm around Nanoha's waist and playfully pats Nanoha's nose.
"Hmpf! You're just trying to make me feel better, but what you actually thought was that I act like a child, right?" Nanoha glared at Fate and put her hands on her hips.
Fate stepped back when Nanoha moved closer to her. "W-well it's not that bad. I think it's cute."
Nanoha pouted.
"Aww! Come on; don't be like that- ah look, it's the merry-go-round. Let's ride it Nanoha." Before Nanoha could protest, Fate was already dragging Nanoha to the said ride.
As soon as the two stepped inside the ride, Nanoha was already leading the way. Nanoha walked around finding a horse she likes to ride with a big smile on her face. Fate giggled before an idea clicked in her brain and decides to play around with Nanoha for a little bit.
"Princess, do you want to ride on my horse? I would gladly escort you."
Nanoha raised a brow and gave Fate a confused look as she didn't catch onto what Fate was talking about. When she saw Fate playfully wink at her, she giggled and gave her a response. "Yes, thank you my prince." Nanoha smiled. She was slightly embarrassed due to the fact that the people waiting in line were watching them.
"Then please excuse me." Fate lifted Nanoha in her arms just like a princess, making Nanoha blush like a ripe tomato. Fate then put her down on the horse with Nanoha's feet dangling off the horse's right side. Soon after, Fate sits behind her. Her left hand was holding on Nanoha's shoulder encouraging her to lean back into her and her right hand was holding on the rope around the horse. After a few minutes the merry-go-round started to move and music was heard.
"Stupid Fate-chan," Nanoha said while covering her red face with both of her hands.
"Haha, sorry. I made you uncomfortable huh? But still, are you enjoying yourself princess?" Fate winked and smiled at Nanoha.
"Geez, I can't believe it! My prince is making me feel embarrassed, but it's not everyday we could do this, so I guess I'll let it go this time." Nanoha leaned back, resting her head on Fate's chest before her arms wrapped around Fate's flat tummy. Nanoha inhaled deeply and smiled when she smells Fate's scent and for some reason it made her relax.
"Prince, I want to ride this horse with you forever… never let me go okay?" Nanoha asked with pleading eyes.
"Of course princess." Fate tightened her hold on Nanoha before resting her head on her shoulder.
" – is what I would like to say, but Fate-chan, I really think we should stop this little play now. Other people want to ride too…look." Nanoha smiled wearily, pointing out that the ride ended a long time ago and people were starting to get mad.
xX~*~Xx
"Hey look! That teddy bear mascot is giving out balloons. Let's take one Fate-chan!" Nanoha tugged on Fate's shirt.
"Hold up Nanoha. I'm still dizzy from riding the roller coaster." Fate covered her face while leaning back on a bench under a tree.
"Geez Fate-chan, you're already dizzy? Do you have motion sickness?"
"You're asking me why I'm dizzy? We just rode a roller coaster one after another for 5 times!"
"Pshh, that's nothing! I didn't get dizzy at all."
"What? Before that we also rode the Space Shuttle 3 times, Anchor's Away 3 times before riding Flying Fiesta 4 times and you're still not dizzy? Are you even human Nanoha?" Fate asked in disbelief on how much energy Nanoha had.
"Oh come on Fate-chan. It's not every day I get to go to an amusement park, so I'm just making every second worthwhile."
"Even if you say that, I can't move anymore. Let me just rest for a bit okay?"
"Hmm…okay then. How about we eat something? What do you want Fate-chan?"
"Hmm, a hotdog and fries I guess?"
"Okay then. I'm getting some ice cream while I'm at it!"
"Huh? Didn't you eat ice cream before we got here?"
"Nyahaha. They say there's one ice cream flavor here that you can only find here…well then, I'll be back in a bit!" Nanoha immediately dashed away through the crowd without looking back.
Fate laughed in amusement. "Nanoha is such a child. Ugh! My head hurts. I should have asked Nanoha to buy me some ice." Fate sighed as she leaned back on the bench.
"Here…" Nanoha put a cold can on Fate's forehead.
"Eh? Nanoha you're back?"
"Well I can't leave you behind with you like this and I remembered that I made us food to share."
"Really? Then let's eat!" Fate felt giddy. She couldn't wait to try Nanoha's food.
xX~*~Xx
There were sandwiches and rice balls, but what caught Fate's eyes was a little box.
"What's this Nanoha?"
"Ah, I almost forgot! This is my creation strawberry deluxe cake! Tada!" Nanoha removed the cover to reveal a mouth watering strawberry cake with lots of….well strawberries.
"Wow strawberry cake! I love strawberry cake and there's 4 pieces of it too!" Fate's smile widened and it made Nanoha giggle.
"Nyahaha. Fate-chan is like a child when it comes to her favorite foods."
"Geez, I can't help it…did you make this?"
Nanoha placed a plate of cake in front of Fate. "Yup, try it…I hope you like it though." Nanoha scratched her cheek shyly.
"It looks delicious, so I bet it tastes good…but you know Nanoha?"
"Hmm?"
"With you this close, I can't eat my cake."
Fate and Nanoha are sitting at a circular table, but Nanoha isn't sitting in front of Fate. She had moved her chair earlier so that she was beside Fate.
"Eh? But I want to feed Fate-chan and sitting beside you makes it easier for me." Nanoha ignored Fate's uncomfortable look and scoots closer to her. She holds the spoon and cuts a small piece of the cake.
"Now open wide say ahh~" Nanoha moved and pushed the spoon towards Fate's mouth.
"M-mou Nanoha. That's embarrassing." Fate complained. Her cheeks turned red and she looked everywhere except at Nanoha.
"Hmm? But you weren't embarrassed when we did the prince and princess play earlier." Nanoha teased, but was still pushing the cake to Fate's mouth.
"T-that's different." Fate fidgeted a little. She knew Nanoha would ask her about it.
"How so?" Nanoha smiled, slightly amused on how Fate looked lost for words when she's embarrassed.
"W-well, I was trying to act cool in front of you to impress you and also to tease you since you always made me blush…" Fate mumbled with a blush after admitting it to Nanoha.
"You're so cute Fate-chan! But…you know you can't escape me. You will eat this or I will feed you using mouth-to-mouth?" Nanoha leaned close and whispered in her ear. She smirked when Fate stiffened and put some distance between them.
"I-I understand, ah~" Fate didn't want that to happen so she obeyed Nanoha for now.
"Good girl…is it good?" Nanoha asked curiously before biting the spoon.
Fate munched the food around her mouth before gulping it down.
"Hmm… it's delicious. I love it!" Fate said happily.
"Eh? But I thought you loved me?" Nanoha pouted teasingly.
"W-what? Nanoha it's not like that! Of course I love you, I just-" Fate panicked, but Nanoha pushed another piece of cake in her mouth to make her stop.
"I was kidding Fate-chan. You're so cute!" Nanoha giggled as she put some icing on Fate's nose.
"Geez! You keep saying I'm cute!" Fate fought back and the two ended up using the icing of the cake to put on each other's face.
xX~*~Xx
"Look at that Fate-chan. It's a new attraction!" Nanoha pointed at the building in front of us.
"Hmm, it says snow world and it's limited only until the end of summer huh? Well that must be because it wouldn't be fun anymore if snow starts to fall in the real world." Fate laughed before turning to Nanoha who looked like she was in deep thought.
"Do you want to try-"
"Let's go!" Fate blinks a few times to process what Nanoha said.
Sigh, I shouldn't have bothered to ask her.She thought as she chuckled to herself.
As the two entered the building, the two immediately proceeded to buy winter gear from one of the sales ladies there. Fate inwardly groans. The lady insisted on buying all the things they would need to get inside, but the gear was a little expensive. She shrugs it off when she remembered that at least they could stay inside as long as they wanted.
Stepping inside the place, Fate and Nanoha were surrounded by pure white snow. Fate couldn't help but stare. The place was like a simulation of a winter's scenery. Artificial trees are everywhere and a frozen lake could be seen in the middle of it. The snow crunching under her feet can be heard as she walks through the snowy field. Fate smiled when she saw Nanoha blow warm air on her hands in an attempt to warm them up.
"Waa! It's snowing here! Look, look Fate-chan. It's really piling up!" Nanoha grabbed a big chunk of snow in her hands and threw it up.
"Nanoha wait! You didn't put on your mittens." Fate immediately rushed to Nanoha's side and grabbed her reddening hands. She furrowed her brows when she felt Nanoha's cold hands.
"Look, your hands are turning red." Fate gently rubbed their hands together and pulled it near her lips to blow some warm air on it. Fate raised a brow and gave Nanoha a confused look when she saw a blush slowly spreading on her cheeks.
"What is it?" Fate lowers their hands and slightly tilts her head.
"I can't believe you can easily do embarrassing things when you want to." Nanoha giggled when Fate's face immediately turned red and released her hand.
"I-I didn't mean it! Y-you looked cold so I thought it was okay…"
"Nyahaha. Mou Fate-chan, it's okay! It's not like I hate it. I'm happy that you're making an effort to express your feelings for me. I think it's sweet." Moving closer to Fate, Nanoha cupped her right cheek and moved her thumb lovingly.
Fate smiled. She closed her eyes and held Nanoha's hand on her cheek as she leaned into the warmth seeping from it.
After a few minutes, an idea popped in Nanoha's head. "You know Fate-chan…"
"Hm?"
"With you holding my hands like this…I don't think I need mittens." Fate slowly opened her eyes to retort, but when Nanoha's warm breath brushed her lips, Fate gulps nervously and her heart immediately beats wildly.
A mischievous smile appears on Nanoha's lips and instantly moves out of reach. Nanoha laughed out loud when disappointment and anger were written all over Fate's face from her little teasing. "Nyahaha. You fell for it Fate-chan. Geez…you're still nervous when we try to kiss? It's not like it's the first time we've done it."
"I-I can't help it." Fate pouted as she couldn't find any excuse about it.
"You're hopeless Fate-chan." Nanoha stuck out her tongue and ran off when Fate tried to grab her.
Fate sighed. She stepped forward, but when something caught her eyes, she stopped walking and bent down.
"Hmm? Wow, so cute." Fate reached out and touched a cute snow bunny.
"Nanoha when were you able to make a snow bunny this fast-" Fate lifted her head to look at Nanoha, but a white thing suddenly hit her in the face.
"Nyahaha. You should watch your surroundings more closely Fate-chan!" Nanoha giggled while tossing a snow ball up and down on her right hand.
Removing the snow that was stuck in her hair, Fate smirked as she thought of something. "Oww Nanoha! That hurt!" Fate sat on the snow and covered her forehead as if in pain. Nanoha thought Fate was just joking, but when she didn't stand from where she was, she immediately approached her with a worried look on her face.
"F-Fate-chan, are you okay? Sorry, I didn't mean to throw it that hard at you." Nanoha kneels down to check on her. She gently removes Fate's hand and brush away her bangs to see the bruise on her forehead, but she didn't see any damage on it. Nanoha pouted, but before she could say anything to Fate, a soft pair of lips touched her own in a gentle kiss.
"Hehe. Sorry Nanoha, but I don't think I could concentrate on my surroundings with you by my side… because when you're near me, all I see is you." Fate flashed her charming smile before sticking out her tongue to tease the still dazed brunette.
Nanoha was shocked and didn't react immediately as she slowly processed what happened. When she finally snaps out of it, a deep blush instantly spread to her face and up to her ears.
Fate laughed. "You're so cute"
"Stupid Fate-chan!"
Nanoha puffed out her cheeks and pushed Fate away from her. Fate let her body fall on the soft snow and continues to laugh at her.
"Haha. Sorry sorry."
"Hmpf!" Nanoha stood up and crossed her arms.
xX~*~Xx
Nanoha was already tired when the two decided to go home. She couldn't walk properly anymore when they got off the bus and seeing her like this, Fate offered to carry her to her house. As Fate walked slowly through the empty street as she carried Nanoha on her back, Nanoha would sometimes unconsciously move closer and snuggle into Fate's neck to make herself comfortable. Unknown to Nanoha, her action had a different effect on Fate. She would feel nervous each time Nanoha moved. She kept mumbling to herself to try and control her erratic heartbeat.
My heart is so loud. I hope Nanoha can't hear it. Fate shook her head as she struggled to keep her mind and body from being overly conscious of the girl behind her. Fate thought it was easy to carry her, but as time passed by, it turned out that it was harder than she thought. Nanoha's weight was not the problem. The fact that she was very conscious of the chest pressed on her back, Nanoha's smell teasing her nose and to top it all, Nanoha's warm breathe on her neck, made her more nervous and uncomfortable no matter how much she tried to act normal.
"Fate-chan, why are you nervous?"
Fate stiffens when Nanoha suddenly said something. She stops and look back to find her eyes are still closed. "W-well it must be because this is the first time I've carried someone."
"Hmm… really? Should I get down then?" As if sensing her discomfort, Nanoha looks up and finally opened her sleepy blue eyes.
"No, it's okay. I can handle this." Fate adjusts Nanoha a bit to make it easier to carry her. She starts walking slowly again when she hears a light giggle from Nanoha.
"W-what's so funny?"
"Nothing really, but I didn't know until now that Fate-chan likes to take advantage of the moment like… touching my legs." Nanoha whispered seductively in her ear. Nanoha peeked to see a reaction on Fate's face and when she sees her ears turning red, she bursts out laughing.
"I wasn't! I-I can't help it! If I don't hold your legs properly you might fall." Fate tried to defend herself.
"Really?" Nanoha moved around and swung her legs making it hard for Fate to carry her.
"This must be your lucky day, huh? You get to carry me home and to top it all, I'm wearing a skirt so your hand can feel my bare legs." Nanoha couldn't stop herself from laughing and she started to tear up. She playfully pokes Fate's cheeks to make more fun at her.
"Nanoha!" Fate shouts at Nanoha, but it didn't have much effect because it made Nanoha laugh even more. Fate wanted to face palm, but with her hands trying to balance Nanoha, she just let out a sigh. She knew Nanoha wouldn't stop teasing her until she was satisfied. I don't feel tired at all, but I suddenly feel tired. It looks like the day won't end just yet. Fate glanced up at Nanoha's laughing face. Her eyes soften and she smiles.
Well at least she's happy. Fate chuckled and starts walking again.

Vita: I don't think this will do you any good
Hayate: shhh! Not so loud they might her you. I don't want to know what would Nanoha do if she find out we where stalking them during their date
Vita: you mean YOU where stalking them to their date and you just drag me here with you to have someone to talk to.

Vita: then stop being one!... remember I won't be responsible if they caught you stalking them
Hayate: don't worry they won't find out!
Vita: we are really far away from them how would you hear their conversation?
Hayate: I put a small device on Nanoha's shirt earlier before she left it could record their voice and capture their movement its perfect! Its soooo small that they will never find it out
?: oh really? I never thought a person like you could be clever in trying to get what you want.
Hayate: of course I am! I'm the great Hayate-sama after all! Stalking and capturing a scene is my greatest skill!
?: I see I'm happy for you Hayate-chan *menacing smile*
Hayate: *turning around slowly* N-Nanoha? Wait aren't you walking there and and…
Nanoha: I knew your planning something… you might be clever for using a device but putting it in an obvious place is your biggest mistake! *pointing her finger*
Fate: *butting in* I saw a small thing on her left shoulder a small red light blink on it.
Hayate: *gulp nervously* umm Nanoha-san c-can we talk about this umm *trembling*
Nanoha: *smile* Prepare yourself Hayate-chan
Hayate: Vita h-help!
Vita: Even though you're a weird girl we had been together for a long time. Rest in peace *clasp her hands together*
Hayate: don't go and kill people! Fate-chan please stop your girlfriend!
Fate: *dramatically turn away* I will never forget you.
Hayate: I'm doomed
