Chapter 3: Hang on! I'm going, too!

'When did it all start? When did I fall for Fate-chan?' Lindy asked herself as she curled up under the covers of her all-too-big, empty bed.

It must have been when Fate turned sixteen that she had truly blossomed into a beautiful young woman, and Lindy couldn't help but feel attracted to the blonde.

Lindy would cherish every moment she shared with Fate, every hug, every kiss, and she would die a little on the inside whenever her beloved daughter would return, battered and bruised from long-term missions.

For three years now, Lindy had been suffering in silence, loving Fate from afar, teasing Fate and Nanoha when they were together, and encouraging Fate to show the redhead affection.

In a way, somehow, Lindy felt that Fate's heartache was her fault.

'But I don't believe that is my decision to make...' She sighed and opened her eyes half-way and saw her vision blurry with tears.

'Why...oh why did I have to fall for you, Fate-chan? I mean...I've seen-'

"Okaa-san?" Lindy's train of thought was stopped by the knocks on her door. The green-haired woman sat up in her bed and wiped away her tears. She took in a deep breath and then put on a smile before replying.

"What is it, Fate-chan? Come on in," she said in her trademark cheerful tone. Her adopted daughter opened the door and walked in, and when Lindy turned on her bedside lamp she saw Fate was clad in the black robe...that Nanoha gave her for her last birthday.

Lindy suddenly became self-aware. She gulped and did her best to hide her lingerie-clad body under the covers.

"Well, I, ah...I had a bad dream...so I...I was w-wondering if...well...if I could, um...lie down with you for a while?" Fate fidgeted nervously on the spot, looking at anywhere but her adoptive mother, a heavy blush adorning her cheeks.

'No no no no NO! Fate-chan, WHY are you doing this to me?! Oh God...come on, woman! Say no!'

"I see. Of course, Fate-chan. Come here," Lindy mentally slapped herself but that didn't stop her smile from turning into a real, honest one.

Fate smiled shyly before pealing off her robe...and nearly giving her adoptive mother a heart attack when she saw the set of black lace lingerie her daughter was sporting.

Lindy felt something warm and wet go down her nose and touch her lips.

"Okaa-san! Are you alright?! You're bleeding!" Fate exclaimed, quickly moving to her mother's side of the bed on her hands and knees and a worried expression on her pale face.

Lindy's eyes shot wide open and she quickly brought her hand up to hold her bloody nose at the sight of Fate on all fours before her.

"I-I see! Don't worry Fate-chan, I'm alright! Let me just...just let me go clean up, Ok?" with an uneasy laugh, the older woman slipped out of bed and headed towards the bathroom.

"..." Fate also had to pluck her nose when she saw her dear, white lingerie-clad mother saunter to the bathroom. "Hang on! I'm going, too!"
