Chapter 29-Meeting Seven
Hayate's POV
'I can't believe my luck it looks like Alicia is like me, someone who likes to meddle with and tease other people. I can't wait to be able to send her all the different news and pictures of the newly developed couple.' My train of thought all of a sudden stopped as out of the corner of my eye I saw white hair go by. "Was that Reinforce? What is she doing here? I know she hates hospitals as much as I do."
'Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to spare, or to find out if that was her. One of these days, I've got to confess to her how I feel. Fate and Nanoha have each other. Now it's up to me to find my happily ever after and the only way I'm going to do that is if I'm in her arms, but I can't think of that right now.'
I walked out to my car, got in and buckled up. After a few moments, I headed out of the parking lot. While on my way back to headquarters, my phone rang and I answered it, putting it on speakerphone. "Yagami speaking."
"Commander, have I caught you before you left the hospital?" Admiral Harlaown asked.
"I'm sorry Admiral I just left. I'm on my way back to finish up those reports."
"Are you close enough to go back and tell Fate that I need her to come into the office today to finish up that paperwork she wanted me to work on? I tried to catch her before she got to the hospital, but I ended up missing her."
"I suppose, but Alicia's there with her, you could always call either Fate or Alicia's cell phone."
"Yes, I could. But Fate's cell phone is off, as I figured it would be and Alicia is as good at answering her cell phone as not."
"I see. Well, give me some time I have to turn around and head back to the hospital, then."
"Thank you, Commander."
"Not a problem Admiral."
I turned down some side streets so that I could turn around and head back to the hospital. Parking the car outside the hospital, I quickly made my way inside and over to the elevator. 'I truly do hate hospitals. I always have since I was a child. Every week, I had to come to the hospital to get tests done to find out why I was paralyzed, not to mention why the paralysis was spreading. They never did figure that out, when all of a sudden it miraculously started to go away.'
The elevator dinged to let me know that I had reached the third-floor. Walking down the hallway, I start humming the little tune in my head that I would always sing when I was here at the hospital to distract myself from my worry and the pain. Once I reached room 316, I didn't bother to knock I just open the door hoping I'd catch them in an awkward moment.
Instead, I was the one caught in the awkward moment as my smiling face froze at seeing Reinforce sitting next to Nanoha's bed. The room was so quiet I could hear my breathing. Then all of a sudden Reinforce stood up, bowed to Fate and Nanoha and said that she would be back to visit tomorrow. Then she proceeded to walk past me, and out the door. I was still in so much shock, it didn't quite register that her shoulder brushed mine, as she went out the door.
"Hayate, are you going to let her get away or are you going to go after her and tell her how you feel. The longer you wait, the harder it will actually be to tell her."
"Thanks, Fate. Oh, and before I forget the Admiral said you need to come to the office to sign some paperwork you have her working on."
"Right I'll do that later this afternoon, when Nanoha's napping. Now go she's getting away, good luck, and don't forget to tell her who you are Long Arch One because she's Tome of the Night Sky."
Shock must've been registered on my face as I left the room and slowly start putting the pieces together: 'Tome of the Night Sky her secret love was in love with the man who was in love with another woman. Which turned out to be Nanoha, so her secret love was actually me? Reinforce has been in love with me?'
I saw her standing at the elevator, waiting very impatiently she had turned her head slightly and apparently saw me coming towards her and changed her mind heading for the staircase instead. I knew she did that to avoid me as I don't do stairs very well. In fact, stairs are very brutal on my body still I was not about to let her get away. She's been avoiding me for the past few months, and now I realize that she's been avoiding me since she started blogging as Tome of the Night Sky.
I picked up my pace and opened up the stairwell door, I could hear her making a hasty getaway, but I was not about to let that happen. "Reinforce, I need to talk with you. Please stop avoiding me."
I got no answer except the sound of her feet continuing to go further away from me. So, I did the only thing that I could think of knowing it was going to be very painful. "I'm coming down the stairs after you, so you better turn around and catch me before I fall!"
'I can walk. I can even run, as long as I don't go on any kind of stairs. I'm fine but the moment I have to go on the stairs my legs start to not work right.' After taking three steps I knew I was going to be in trouble, big trouble as my legs start buckling underneath me. I was three quarters of the way up; this was going to be really bad. 'Okay, I made it halfway down, but my legs can't hold me anymore.' I close my eyes as my legs give out underneath me and I waited to feel the pain.
I felt something that I sorely missed, the soft warm embrace of my protector. She was always there for me, catching me to make sure that I never hurt myself when I would fall. Even though right now I'm in such pain, I wrapped my arms around her and bury my face in her neck.
"Don't leave me please, don't ever leave me."
"Hayate-sama, I could never leave you."
"Then why have you been avoiding me?"
"I've been trying to come to terms with the pain of watching you be in love with someone, who does not return it. It hurt me deeply, so I couldn't stand by and watch you pine for someone who was absolutely no good for you. I am sorry Hayate-sama."
"Now I understand why, you've always called me sama, I'm your Master aren't I Tome of the Night Sky?"
"What?"
"Nanoha's Ferret, my Librarian, and your Weasel were all the same person, Yuuno Scrya. That's right Reinforce, my login name is Long Arch One."
"I don't know what you mean?" As she turned her face away with a blush on her cheeks, which just made my heart beat faster.
It seemed the only way I was going to get my feelings across to her was through action, not words, so I moved my hand up into her hair to the back of her head. Tilting my face up to hers, I pulled her face around and captured her lips with mine, and put all of my feelings into that kiss so that she would understand what I've been trying to tell her in words.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she caved in and kissed me back with such passion. Unfortunately, we had to separate due to a little thing called breathing. As ragged, as it was a smile spread across my lips as I moved up to capture her lips once more. This time the kiss is a little bit softer, than her arms tightened around me, which caused me to moan in pain, which made our second kiss break all too soon.
"Let's head back to Nanoha's room. It seems I have some explaining to do and I'd rather do it once, then several times."
"Yes. Hayate-sama."
"Good, because you two look like you're in a bit of an uncomfortable position right now. Oh and I'll send you these pictures later on today Hayate." Alicia was standing up at the top of the stairwell with her cell phone out. Apparently, she had taken a picture of either our first or second kiss. Either way, I will be happy to have the pictures.
I nodded my head yes, as Reinforce picked me up bridal style, I wrapped my arms around her neck and rested my head on her shoulder as we made our way back to Nanoha's room. Once inside the room Reinforce settled into the chair that she had recently vacated, setting me on her lap. I winced in slight discomfort but otherwise I was going to be okay.
"Hayate are you all right you look like you're in pain?" Fate and Nanoha both looked worried.
"I'll be fine I'll just need to take some pain medication and some muscle relaxers, and if I could coax somebody in giving me one of her famous massages, it'll make everything all better."
"Of course, Hayate-sama whatever you need."
"So what happened, why are you in pain?" Fate said with a bit of worry in her voice.
"Well, Reinforce tried avoiding me by going down the stairs, knowing I have a hard time with stairs. She didn't think that I would follow her. Little did she know how determined I was to get her to stop,"
"I'm sorry if I had known I would never have put you in that situation. I'm sorry Hayate-sama."
"It's all right, Rein this was bound to happen. I would even do it again if we could repeat those kisses."
Reinforce blushed deeply thinking about the kisses that they had just shared in the stairwell, then she started turning tomato red, but her thoughts turned to giving Hayate a massage.
"She's either embarrassed about what you just said, or she is thinking some naughty thoughts." Alicia said with an all-knowing smirk.
"Hayate-sama you said you wanted to explain about what just happened."
"Right... Well I really have to thank Fate for all of this as she helped me realize my feelings for you Rein. Fate had just described to me her White Devil when she asked about my Librarian. That's when I told her that the feelings I had for him weren't what I thought, but feelings that I had for you were things I didn't understand.
We ended up talking in length about what I was feeling, and the fact that you were always there for me. When all was said and done, I had come to the realization that the feelings that I had for you, were actually true love. I've tried talking to you, but every time I thought I had you alone, you would disappear. Then you started acting strange, never home, always disappearing, and you were always so worried that you would never talk to me about it.
I didn't realize why that hurt so much. Then I had my epiphany that I was in love with you and everything fell into place. The weight that was on my shoulders lifted, my heart felt lighter, and for the first time in a really long time I felt utter true happiness, knowing that I was in love with you Rein.
Although now that I really think about it I guess it's Nanoha I need to thank about this as you were the one who started this Blog Of the Lovelorn. If it hadn't been for you Nanoha, none of us would have been brought together like this, and the loves of our lives wouldn't know how we felt about each other."
"Wow, and to think I'm the one that told Fate about the blog. It's amazing how all of this just clicked, isn't it? I guess love is a puzzle, and when it's a perfect fit. Everything just snaps together in a beautiful bond." Alicia said with a far-off look in her eyes.
Authors Notes: That's the end of that chapter. So how will it end? I don't know as I haven't finished the last chapter yet. I'm going to try I stress TRY to get it done on time for the next posting, but it maybe a little late. As I have a lot to wrap up in it, it will be the longest chapter. Oh and the rating will go up to M. +_+
Review please review. I just love getting reviews from all of you. Positive criticism is always welcomed flamers, of course, will be ignored. Lol.
