/AN : Guess who's back, back again...*silence*...me? yay? Well it should be, as it's so soon! *blush*
Okay, it was too soon, but that aside, I so do wish to thank goddragonking, Bardiche3, SakraDevanamWR, Darshes and jaylesmis for your lovely reviews, this almost makes want to apologize to a certain someone who's words I took as an insult even if she was more than right. I'm now an established yuri writer, thanks to you, take it in anyway you want! :D
The wait's over, yeah! ugh! and okay i'll stop, but yeah, here it is, the newest chapter, and stuff.. *blushes abashed*
Yeah, the numbers'll def make an impact, and Hayate, ya just can't not love her, so wild!
And so glad you're satisfied, hope you'll be after this chapter as well, or especially after this one ;)
Also, due to thoughts invoked by Darshes's review, I'd like to address a few character speech related issues, including Hayate.. : Unlike in 'Love Left Unspoken', the Hayate here do not have a specific dialect or accent, and it's just as it appears on the first glance, totally random (just think on an excitable kid sucking in too much influence from various sources, n' you'll get the picture, um.. no self-insert here, really *looks away*), also, the Belkan sound of Hayate and the wolkenritter (etc,), or the 'east-side accent' of the numbers are all just ways to pronounce, not so much as a clear cut dialects. Most of the good people here talk pretty generically, at least most of the time.
And that aside, I don't know if it's appropriate or not to mention here, I'll state it anyway : While I don't really speak Spanish (the little I do, is closer to Spanglish), I do understand it (to a degree), and have been trying to learn it better.. And I also more or less speak Japanese kind of naturally, so if one of them's your stronger language over English, feel free to use 'em when communicating with this one.
Also, in the odd case this'll be getting reviews as much as the last chapter or more, I'll consider responding to you all via PM. And none of this has absolutely nothing to do with nothing, huh.. So I'll just stop.
Anyhow, the song (besides the theme song), featured here is : Vince Gill - Whenever You Come Around
So with this tidbit, I'll leave you all to this episode with a special reminder.. right after disclaimer.
Disclaimer : I own so nothing in any of this that it's fruitless to sue me, really don't, my lawyer's too lazy to address all of my misses.. So yeah, let's move on.
Warning : N.S.F.W.
The following episode will contain scenes and themes deemed not suitable for minors, people involved with an anti-gay movement, or those without a chance for a cold shower or secluded privacy.
Reader discretion is advised.
You know the feeling when you really hate somebody, the way it pinches your nerves, nibbles, gnaws, eating you up slowly until you realize you are already gone and someone else has taken your place, moving your body without your permission, speaking words that would never fit your mouth, touching places you would never let your hands wander and all you can do is watch it with a dumb grin on your face as if it were something you have really wanted all along?
I have always thought it as insanity, but apparently some prefer to call it being lost in desire.
Well, I did lose something.
That's the only thing I can be really sure of.

MSLN FF – Strike Love
May 8th – Late Evening
Central Midchilda – Cranagan
Hotel Augusta – Lounge
Having confirmed the last time the date and time for the upcoming party, the last group of guys who were carrying and installing the large set of electronics in the conference hall reserved for Belkan High with a little financial help from a mysterious source, left out the hotel bidding goodbyes to the girls left loitering around the lounge.
Small girl wearing Belkan High's uniform, jumped from person to person her long azure hair flowing with her hurried movements. She had been trying to find a certain brunette, who had suddenly ran off without giving any specific reason and was yet to return even as she had promised to be right back.
Reinforce Zwei Yagami was even shorter than her redhead friend who came off as frightening for many people despite her size for her stern expressions and piercing gleam in her blue eyes, and also her utter lack of fear, and rough way of speaking, however, now the tides had turned as the short girl frowned searching fervently the missing girl. The staff felt they should tell her to stop caring other customers, but couldn't muster enough courage up to actually go and do it.
"You guys seen Takamachi and Testarossa?" The pink haired older girl asked the nearest group as she stepped in to help her friend who looked like she was having either intense stomach pain, or harboring some very dangerous thoughts inside her. It could even be both. And in such case she couldn't just watch the girl suffer, and possibly making some other people suffer as well if she became any more desperate.
"Hmm.. No..? Not that I recall," The first to speak was a short girl with a dark brown hair and green eyes, who shook her head as she tried to remember if she had seen the girls referred to after all.
"I don't know about Testarossa, but wasn't the other one with you three?" The second to respond was a blue eyed blonde with her hair tied in a ponytail in a way that matched Signum's.
"Oh, wait. Was Takamachi that taller Japanese?" The third girl of the group, one with a purple dye on her long hair, who was wearing black cargo pants and a black blouse instead of the Belkan High school uniform the other two did, cut in the conversation from the side trying to put a face on the name she had heard. And as both Signum, and Reinforce had nodded, she resumed. "I'm not sure but I think I saw her heading to the restricted section, it was a while ago, though.."
The frown on the azure haired girl only grew more worried with the knowledge. The 'restricted section' as the girl clad in black had called it, was a section on the lower floors at the back of the hotel that had been hit with a terrorist attack some weeks ago, and even as the hit had been largely unsuccessful, it still left a dent on one side that had been forced to seal off until the reconstruction would be completed. If Nanoha had been running there, it couldn't have meant anything good.
Reinforce was about to inquire more details on the matter but was cut off with an eerily cheery ringtone ill-befitting the purple haired girl's otherwise gothic posture.
"Please excuse me.."
"Your boyfriend?" The brunette asked in manner that sounded more like a jest than a real question, and received an I'm so gonna kill you kind of stare as a response when the girl answered her phone and started shouting totally random Spanish that even Signum, who barely knew the language, could still recognize it to be grammatically incorrect.
All five girls shrugged, rolled their eyes, and turned their attention on the approaching short brunette instead.
"That was a long call. Everything alright?" Signum asked Hayate who seemed unhappy, or worried, about something.
"Yeah.. Hopefully.." The short brunette clicked her tongue and shook her head, and lifted her face again to explain the situation to the girls present. "Rein said she had seen three girls wearing a Sankt Kaizer uniform heading here. Could've been Tre and Cinque, and a third one she didn't recognize, a freshman or a junior high student with a short turquoise hair."
"Turquoise? Was she sure it was no aquamarine!?" Reinforce couldn't keep her voice from rising when she heard the worrisome news her sister had shared with their cousin. "I mean Sein's gotten pretty chummy with some kids from Sankt Kaizer recently.. But I haven't heard a word of her transferring though.."
"Um.. It could just be a borrowed, or stolen, uniform. They've done it with other kids they've been recruiting from Saint Hilde," The blonde girl responded from the side in a curiously nonchalant manner, given the topic at hand.
"You don't happen to know more about it?" Vita's curiosity had been piqued by the revelation, and she felt compelled to join in the conversation.
"Not really that much.." The blonde shrugged, and turned to point at the girl on the phone that had switched from loud Spanglish to a sweet purring that made everybody present gag reflexively. "..You could ask her, or Carim from Hilde. You're friends with her, right?" She directed the last words at Hayate who had been frowning and unconsciously biting her lower lip in a manner more commonly seen on her slightly taller friend who, now that she looked around, was nowhere in sight.
"Yeah.. Shit, that's one another trouble confirmed.." The short blue eyed brunette nodded affirmatively with a sigh following right after, before turning to ask a question of her own from her friends. "So, where you lost Nanoha? Did the captain want something, or..?"
Reinforce was the first to answer, with a shake of her head, indicating she had been pondering on the same problem. Unfortunately, her cousin missed the hint and turned her eyes on the next one.
"We were just around asking the same," The pink haired woman said.
"Um.. Yeah, she, I mean Nanoha, sprang off suddenly, and apparently towards the side still under repair," Vita reaffirmed the fears of the short brunette, while explaining just where she should direct her panic at. And at the end of her sentence, she saw Zwei panicking harder than even before.
"You.. You don't think THAT girl's gotta sumthin' to do wit it, don'cha!? I mean, there ain't no way it be possible! Right! Right! RIGHT!"
In her confusion mixed with fear, Reinforce started to sound more like Hayate and Nanoha than the girls themselves ever had. A lot more, and it only got worse as she went on.
"We gots to go kick 'em mothafuckas sum ass, Sein or not, no bitch from Kaizer's gon' touch my motherfucking Nanoha!"
Hayate blinked at the outburst of her cousin. She had had a feeling the azure haired girl had harbored some feelings towards her friend, but this kind of confession coming out all of a sudden still threw her a lot back.
"Now, now, that's just a coincidence, right.. Well, hopefully.. I'ma still look around just in case. You stay here if she comes back.." The short brunette wasn't about to let the situation turn into worse, at least not until she'd checked it all out thoroughly herself first.
"I'm coming with you."
"And I."
"There ain't no Takamachi without me~!"
The last to respond did it in so adorable manner that Hayate had problems in controlling herself. Cousin or not, a girl that cute just begged to be jumped, and dived into..
"Um.. This ain't none of our concern, but if ya need a hand, we'd be hireable.. That'd be a big motherfucking gun 'gainst any lil' puta," The green eyed brunette cocked her head towards the girl in the phone that had, again, switched from purring lovingly to shouting passionate Spanglish, most of it irreconcilable curses.
"Thanks, really, but we can handle this on our own.. Lessee if the big gun's come needed, 'ay..?" The other short brunette wasn't too keen to take up on the offer. She knew they were in good terms with Signum, so they couldn't be that bad people, but she also knew that the purple haired of the group was related, deeply, to the people who gave the Belkan Region it's bad name. Even if the girl wasn't like her rumored relatives, it'd be too much a risk to have a real criminal getting involved in the petty feud between her and Quattro. No, that would be left for the chance that the other party turned criminal first. There were bigger things at hand than some gangster turf war after all, no, nothing would come in the way of her threesome. It was already unlikely as it was, so nothing was to hinder it any further..
"Aight, here's what we gon' do.."
Hayate started to explain her search plan while Reinforce popped the music back on and started to sway along the tunes of the song her secret crush had become to call her theme song.

EPISODE 4 : Miss Take Mistake
(It's never just sports in Midchilda 3)
May 8th – Late Evening
Central Midchilda – Cranagan
Hotel Augusta – Restricted Section
*Bang* *Bang!* *BANG* *BANG!*
"Will you stop doing that? It's driving me nuts!" A girl yelled inside the gray darkness furious for the other party who kept banging on the door.
"Well.. You told me to stop singing," The girl stopped to reply with a voice strained from all the restraint she had to muster to keep herself calm. The other girl did not make it easy. The way she never did. Things never seemed to be easy around Nanoha, at least not for Fate they were.
"You call that singing?"
"I humbly apologize for not sounding like a fucking computer you so do seem to prefer, but oh let me just go get my device that assuming it is still there is lying on the floor outside that goddamn door we have to get through to get the fuck out of here!"
"Would you..?" Nanoha let out a weak voice. "Would you.. Stop yelling.. please? It's hard enough as it is.." And leaned against the wall letting out a desperate sigh.
Fate felt like she had blinked, she could not be sure given how little difference it made. While it is true that she had not seen the other girl all that much in the past few years, but from what little she had seen, or heard, she could not place such a distress on the arrogant whatever I want kind of girl. Even if she already had deduced that there was something real dark behind her blue sapphire eyes.
"Okay.. So, what do we do?" Fate made a moment's pause, and right after, she decided it was better to continue. "To get OUCH! Put it away!" And just as she had gotten accustomed to the darkness and began to make out the shapes of the room she was hit with a blinding light rendering her efforts as useless as when trying to understand the other girl.
"Nyahahaha, look what I found."
"I can't see if you don't stop pointing it at me, but I can take a guess what you did not find. A working brain cell," Fate did not hide the irk in her tone. GEE! Could this girl be like anymore a windmill? No, don't answer, I really don't wanna know. All of the previously mustered self-restraint felt so foolish to the blonde who desperately tried to avert her eyes from the blinding light directed right on her face.
"That's only 'cause I was looking inside your head stupid," Nanoha took the flashlight in her right hand to free her left to accent her speech and made a point to stick out her tongue at the end.
"Ooh~ I never saw that coming, what a remarkable display of vocabulary," Fate faked a mock surprise rounding her words at the same.
"Say whatever~ I'm getting out, miss fancy pants," And the brunette smirked seeing she had successfully thrown the blonde off balance.
"How.. Oh, wait. Oh no no no, please don't tell me you still haven't given up on that, ventilation, shaft, thing, you called an idea? This is NOT a goddamn movie," As soon as Fate realized just to what the other girl had referred to, she was shaking her head sideways with a look of disbelief on her face and pointing at the cursed place the brunette had earlier found an entrance to.
"*Pfft!* Of course not, if it were I would be here with an awesome totally handsome hunk of a hero who- No wait, I'm the hero. Obviously. *Tch* Like I'd let some loser come all rescue me..*Sigh* But then again just who would I be saving?" Nanoha started scratching her hair fiddling with her ponytail deep in thought and Fate felt her face reach out to her palm post haste.
"Zwei maybe..?" The brunette kept biting her lip in thought while altering her glances between the ventilation shaft and the blonde right under it.
"The little girl with the blue hair from Belkan High?" Fate remembered the scene played out at the yard, connected it with the few, or several, or a.. ahem anyway, some pictures she had just happened to see, totally accidentally. It was not like it was her concern who her former friends hung out with. Especially that idiot of a brunette with a bad attitude. That so did not concern her, even if she may have had taken a few looks at her updates once in a while, it meant nothing, they just popped there on the screen and she had absolutely nothing else to do at that very given moment and this is so not convincing anyone now is it..
"Um, yeah..?" Nanoha bit her lip again.. "Nah.. It wouldn't work, her sister would beat me to it.." ..and having finally stopped biting on it, she took an inquiring glare at Fate while pointing at the hatch on the ceiling. "..Why aren't you moving? Hop up!"
"Wait, what, where? Why? No, no, I'm not going first, or at all," The blonde shook her head and formed a cross with her hands. She was dead set against it.
"And like I'd let you come after me all ogling my ass? No can do, blondie.. *Sigh* Why's Yuuno-kun the only damsel in distress I can think of.. What a crappy film it'd make, and why aren't you moving?"
"I have a short damn skirt, and I'm not going!" Fate almost missed the question at the end when she was busy ignoring the brunette's rants about the heroic epic about her life in a hotel room. "Shit! You're so gonna make this up to me."
Giving in at the sight of the miserable state the other girl was left in, Fate took the flashlight from Nanoha's extended hand while the brunette tried to breath and hold in the whatever inside her was trying to emerge. Despite the way things were, she felt sorry for the girl, and a sharp flash of pain that made her turn away from the agonized blue eyes. If she wanted to help her, she would have to climb through the shaft and get them out. Fast. Sorry Nanoha, but it seems I get to be the hero this time. Okay, here goes nothing.
She climbed, struggled a moment and dived in the fiery tunnel that was supposed to circulate the air inside the building, but felt to be made more with intent to cook fried legs a'la Testarossa. And.. The sorry feels? Gone.
Crawling on in a cramped damp place was not the blonde's idea of fun. The hot air outside was fine. Walking around school getting a hang on the way things worked was okay. Going home, taking a bath, having a dinner, getting Chrono to come help with her homework would have been.. tolerable, average, and just at this moment it seemed like a life to live. She seriously should reconsider her priorities should she have a life after surviving this, just in case some ludicrous brunette came by to say 'let's go die in a burning hell' she would not answer with a 'cool, let's do just that'. This was so not cool.
"You are positive this is a ventilation shaft? I mean this is one humid goddamn hell! And I'm so coming back," Fate tried to back down but her way out was blocked by something hitting her butt, obstructing her movements.
"Stop ruining everything! And stop swearing so much, it's unbecoming," Nanoha changed her tune from commanding to condescending between the sentences and Fate felt infuriated with the accusation. True, she was not as refined, recollected or elegant as she had been taught to behave. But this was no formal occasion, and the very person chastising her was in no place to be condemning her.
"Me? I'm! What!?" Fate had stopped still causing Nanoha to keep bumping on her behind as the brunette desperately tried to advance on the small tight space the blonde didn't want to venture any further in. "And stop sniffing my butt, that's unbecoming!"
"Then – start – MOVING!" The brunette bit on the butt.
"What the FU- Okay GEE stop biting my ass!" Feeling the teeth digging through her pantyhose the blonde let out a shriek and resumed her crawling to get away from the beast.
"Good. And yes it's unladylike, it leaves the air foul.." Nanoha paused for effect. "..Just like your royal gluteus maximus."
"My muscles hardly smell, and neither does any other part of my posterior," Fate snapped stopping to roll her eyes and click her tongue hearing the smirking snide voice of the brunette.
"It does~ like a princessly pretty little butt-erfly~" Nanoha giggled with teasing sweet voice before she assumed a tone and a note one octave lower. "Now get'cha badonkadonk up 'n back moving sweet cheeks."
"So, which is it?" Fate sighed and regretted just as soon as she had asked.
"I don't know~ I got too big a bum~p on my head to think clear~" Nanoha sang in a voice intentionally very off key.
"Stop talking about my buttocks."
"Stop stopping then! It's like you're just ass-king me to inspect your trunk."
"Seriously, that's where all your vocal skills went? Down the hills on the rear-end?"
"Wittel whiny-heinie~"
"Okay, whatever, don't cry if you're left behind. I'm not so gonna take anymore shit from you."
"Wait, stop!"
"Nu-uh~ No way. You told me to stop stopping and now you want me stop it too? Just try and make up your mind 'cause I'm just about losing mine," Fate sighed to herself, when she suddenly heard the girl starting to move behind her. "Wha-!? Hey! Where you going? Wait up!"
"I'm going back, this was a bad idea.." Nanoha squirmed backwards in a hurried and extremely awkward manner.
"See, I told you!?"
"Oh, gee.. Whatever~ go get a life and get over it. You're such a child," Having recovered her all too familiar attitude, the brunette crawled back out the shaft leaving a stunned blonde alone in the hot humid tunnel that fumed her as much as the girl behind did. She felt both to be desperately crying out for renovation.
"Wai- Wait up!" Fate yelled to the girl jumping down, and began retreating just the same, cursing the brunette for first getting her on board this, then abandoning the ship right after. Gee, could she really be any more moody!? Screaming inside her mind for the other girl's mannerisms, she jumped down and turned to face girl groaning faintly by herself for some reason.
"So.." Nanoha let out a sigh, stared the taller girl in front of her for a moment and shook her head sideways turning to face the door out. "..Break the door."
"What? Why?"
"We're in the sealed section that's under renovation, nothing requiring electricity works here, including electronic locks. So either we crawl back up and suffocate, or you break the door and we get home happy."
"Wait, wait, wait, now just wait a minute and maybe a second more."
The brunette stopped all her exaggerated gestures and simply stared at the blonde with a deadpanned face.
Fate tried to intercept and to ask in between all the stuff she had not understood and now she had to make sure Nanoha would listen. This situation was beyond comprehension in any case, but what the delinquent representative had just explained as matters of facts was even more over her head. Like, sealed section or no electricity, disregarding just how the other girl knew all that, there was one even more fundamental problem.
"Why, me? You break it if you want to break stuff so bad, I am not going to turn into a hooligan too."
"Uh-huh.." The brunette simply blanked bored, showing just how interested she was in the blonde's words.
"No seriously! How do you even know nothing works? What if it's just a temporary malfunction? And what about the phone?" Fate was having none of this, she just wanted out and home, get this behind like it never happened. She was, however, so not going to turn into a criminal for it.
"I must've dropped it when I was lunged into arms of a dumb blonde in a dark room.. And I hate dark, confined spaces!" Nanoha pick up her hyperbolic manners up again shouting loud at the end.
"Well, sucks to be you.. I meant the – inner – com-mu-ni-cations – you know the line which connects the rooms around the hotel, including this one and reception," The taller girl rolled her eyes at the shorter approaching her and imitated her trademark gestures mockingly. There was no way nothing would work, right, because it would be all too twisted plot point of a really low budget drama with an amateur scriptwriter. Who sucked by the way.
"Do you know what no electricity means? Real fucking genius.. *sigh* Whatever, look I'm not gonna tell anyone you're just a fraud in a fancy dress, now go break the motherfucking door," The brunette spoke with a tired voice void of emotion.
"*Tch* And that was so becoming and ladylike?" Fate knew it was petty, but she just couldn't that one go. Her pride had been wounded, even if it was small, a pride's a pride nonetheless.
"*sigh* Try spending a day with someone you hate and get trapped with the same – delightful person," Sighing, Nanoha seemed to give up on the conversation and hung her hands.
"Gee, it must've been awful, I really can't imagine.."
"You really need to go get some friends.." The brunette shook her head while leaning on the wall with a grim face and let out out a small yelp as she sat down.
The blonde felt a bit confused at the sight and the manners of the haughty girl. This was so not normal, not that anything about this could be considered normal, but this.. was even more not normal than the rest of the.. not normal stuff. Even her lack of variety in words to describe this was less not normal, and she decided to shrug it off focusing on the obvious problems of her comrade in trapped arms.
"You.. okay?"
"No.." Nanoha raised an eyebrow and shook her head right after letting out an exaggerated sigh. "..asking that's like beyond stupid, even for you.."
The girls stared in their reinstated animosity, before the brunette opened her mouth again.
"I was kicked.. In the ribs.. hard. So it hurts just a bit, especially after that little failed pipe adventure," She groaned faintly trying to find a comfortable position. "It's not bad enough for you to start worrying 'bout me, though.. I've had worse, you see.. If your morals don't let you break us outta here, then please be a dear and do me a favor and sit down! All that pacing and fidgeting is making me nervous.. I hate nervous."
"You seem to hate a lot of things.." Fate complied and sat down leaning the bed facing the other girl.
"I hate your face the most," Nanoha answered nonchalantly.
"Glad the feeling's mutual.." The blonde sighed back re-positioning herself to face away from the spiteful brunette and leaned on the wall next to her. Somehow, it felt the right thing to do to stay near and if the other party didn't mind, there was little reason to not do it.. Except that it brought an intoxicating sickly sweet scent right on to her nose, and felt herself growing heat, and she had strange feelings mixed all over, and.. Okay, so this was going to be harder than she thought, but hey, wasn't it always so with the right things to do..?
Fate closed her eyes and tried to focus on anything else besides the girl beside her.. ..and sighed again. Coming up with nothing else to take her mind off she started singing Whenever You Come Around by Vince Gill that had suddenly begun to play inside her head.
"The face of an angel, pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishing you were mine
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
And I feel so helpless I feel just like a kid
What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings hid
I wish I could tell you, bu the words can't be found
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
And when you smile that smile
The whole world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
Whenever you come around"
*clap clap*
"..bravo, yeah like wow and stuff.. Now can you stop singing, or at least sing about something else than heartbreak..? That was like the fifth one today, are trying to tell me something, emo-chan?" Nanoha sounded just as sarcastic as her face looked bored when Fate finished her song.
"If I were, it would be something akin to a there's more to music than a good beat." The blonde was having none of it. She hadn't sung for applauds, just to keep her mind off their situation, but the brunette had had to add in her two cents. This wasn't the Midchildan Idol, and the other girl made a poor Simon Cowell wannabe.
The shorter girl went back to her own silence, turning her head away, leaving the taller to scowl all by herself. It pissed her off even more. She had had a rough time realizing they really were locked in a room with no electricity as they had ventured inside the part that was still under repair after a partly prevented bomb attack just under a month ago. For a moment, she had wondered just how they still kept the business flowing, but shrugged it off in the end.
She had another thing in her mind driving her even more crazy.. She.. had some problems with being confined with her former best friend, who, she thought, smelled weird. The girl's natural odor was already driving the blonde insane, something to do with hormones. She could 'smell' that they cannot get along, the scent made her lose control as if they were fated enemies. Or something. The details for once didn't really matter and in any case that same insanity inducing nest of pheromones had poured on herself what must have been a gallon of liquid human trap lure.
Yes, she blamed it all on the perfume. It wasn't so much about the smooth skin asking to be petted, or the perky lips calling in for a taste, or the toned flexible legs luring the gaze to follow all the way to the firm cute butt and the hips that swayed smoothly with every step. She hadn't properly seen the brunette's waist or the abs or the certainly adorable belly button or what could be imagined as soft yet firm breasts above, not that she wanted, or that those would've made a difference in this...And neither did the shining auburn hair that danced with every move the girl made, or the enchanting beautiful blue eyes gluing the stare right in at the first glance.
Okay so what, maybe she is attractive, but purely on a physical level. When my mind realizes just what I am staring at, it's all gone. I mean it.
Generally speaking, Fate had no qualms over her sexuality. She didn't know if she was gay, but at least she could consider herself as bi. Now, if there was a term hate-sexual, she would probably have to fill that in, apparently. Other than that, it was no big deal. She was who she was and it was up to everyone else to deal with it. The only problem she had to deal with herself was that the brunette beside her excited her too damn well in all too many ways. Shut up and kiss me. It's not like she could just shout that. Or, well she could, but it was doubtful the other girl would just listen and obey.
"..now this is the best music you can give me," Nanoha couldn't oblige to the unvoiced plead the blonde had made and told her opinion loud and clear breaking the silence.
"I'll start singing Norwegian metal if you keep that up."
"Like I'd know the difference.." The brunette shook her head feeling the other girl leaning her back against her shoulder and closed her eyes with a frown.
"..Ah.. Really.. What happened to you..?" Fate sighed only barely out loud. She had been thinking the same question these past few days since she had been reunited with her childhood friends.
"The last time you asked that didn't go so well..Remember?" Nanoha cocked her head to gaze at the sighing blonde leaning on her.
"I know, I know, I know.. People change and all and everything, I get that. Even I have changed, but you've become such.." Fate halted to search for the right way to put it.
"Insufferable bitch?" The brunette offered shrugging her shoulders and turned her face away again.
"Yeah.." She decided to go along with Nanoha's choice of words as she herself seemed to lack better ones. "And Hayate is a gangster.." She sighed, again. Her new favorite pastime, she laughed miserably inside her heart, and thought she heard the brunette giggling to herself for some reason, but in the end she shrugged it off as usual random strangeness of the other girl.
"People don't just change that much.. Not usually.. Not unless-"
"You haven't really changed, Fate.." Nanoha suddenly cut in abruptly. "..And I don't really know if that's a good thing."
Fate lost her words for a while hearing her former friend call her by her first name for the first time in years, and with Nanoha falling into silence as well, the two simply sat there still leaning on each other.
"You dodged the question," The blonde said breaking the silence and pushed her shoulder against the girl beside her.
"I didn't see a question mark," Receiving her answer spoken in a dull voice.
"You dodged the topic."
"I don't wanna talk.."
"You called me Fate."
"Accident.." Nanoha breathed out and continued, her voice still dull as she shrugged out her next words. "It flowed better. Don't read too much into it, Testarossa."
"Why.." Fate stopped mid-sentence not knowing whether to say more and what. "Could.." However, her mouth could not just stand still. "Couldn't we just.. like go back?" The girl beside did not answer and Fate was not really expecting her to.
"And don't say I have to follow your three little rules. It's just not doable."
The brunette cocked her head to her left meeting a slightly amused burgundy gaze. She had troubles reading the blonde's expression. Was she making fun of her, or was she trying to help the atmosphere light a bit?
"Which?"
"None of them."
Both sighed and rolled their eyes, and seeing the mutual simultaneous reaction, the girls gave out a small laugh, to themselves, and to the whole situation. The tension had eased a little, temporarily. It was still there underneath, now cautiously dormant, but very much alive.
"So.. You still don't want to talk?" Trying to keep the underlying emotions at bay, Fate opened the conversation again. This time with a more casual tone.
"No," Nanoha turned her eyes back to the dark room, sighed and leaned at bit backwards, brushing faintly against the blonde at her left.
"Right, so do you mind if I do? Talk that is."
"..No," The brunette gave a weak detached response.
"Can I take that as a yes please continue?" Looking to her right and seeing as the only answer she got was a yet another sigh with a deadpanned glance, the taller girl opened her mouth again. "I didn't know the girls who came at us, do you?"
"No..?" Nanoha blinked a bit at the question.
"So, none of this was planned beforehand?"
"No," This time the answer was faster and clearer.
"So it really was just about sports?" Fate had to ask the question that had bothered her right since the closet incident happened. She knew the saying 'it's never just sports in Midchilda', but hadn't really thought about it. Until now, the matter had been mostly irrelevant.
Nanoha merely shrugged indifferent as if it didn't concern her, which struck the girl asking about it a bit odd, given how badly it had influenced the other girl.
Then she thought up something that had bothered her even more – and longer than just few hours.
"Are you going out with Hayate?"
"...no.." The brunette closed her eyes turning her head further to the distance irritating the blonde with the vague manner she had answered.
"Well.. Then, is there something going on with you two?"
Fate received a very dissatisfied look as an answer instead of the 'no' she had tried to fish for.
"Does it bother you that I'm engaged to Chrono?"
Nanoha stared back at the question with even more displeased look biting her lip as she glared. The girl being scowled at smirked to herself when she didn't hear no from the mouth that opened up and closed again a few times and a dark impulse sparked inside her. If the other party didn't want to talk things through then so be it, she could be just as mean, no scratch that, hell of a lot more mean when it came down to it. She had already learned a way to push the brunette's buttons.
"Do you want me to.. back off a bit?" Fate leaned in closer eyes beaming with how the little game turned out in the end when the other girl could do nothing but stare unamused.
"So is it okay if I don't molest you, like right now?" The blonde grinned with a sadistic smile.
"Aahaahaa.. Well, aren't you funny.." Nanoha broke her no-chain with obvious distaste, but it didn't bother Fate who saw a clear hint of flustered feelings behind the brunette's mocking expression and the taller girl kept leaning in drawing ever nearer, right until only a small gap kept their faces apart.
"Yeah, I know.." The blonde smirked smugly feeling something she couldn't explain and didn't want to think about. She didn't want to think about anything, just feel.
"Just shut up," The smaller girl did all she could to appear headstrong. It wasn't all that effective.
"Then make me," Fate kept on provoking not really believing herself, like was she really going to go this far in a situation that so very much resembled the one from the other morning begging for her very own 'shut up and kiss me' scene? Apparently, she was, contrary to everything she swore she actually wished for, and she was about to get what she came for.
Nanoha shut the blonde up with her lips.
The girls pressed mouth against another as Fate parted her lips to kiss the brunette back. Feeling the softness from the other day, she felt the excitement overwhelm her. Another kiss. A lip cupped another and the shorter girl bit in gently, nibbling, and felt the faint breeze when the blonde moaned at her teasing. Shudder. Nanoha released the lip and pushed her mouth on the other again, shivering at the soft wet touch greeting her welcoming back.
The blonde pulled half a head apart and chuckled at the sight of the girl leaning on an empty space kissing air. The brunette frowned back, mouth open, taking short quivering breaths. She didn't seem too happy at the abrupt end and looked more than willing to continue where they left off.
"Admit it, you want me," Fate couldn't let this just fly by without getting a word in it. She reasoned it was all just for teasing, not for confirmation, just to be cruel, nothing more.
"Not as much as you want me.." Nanoha licked her lips with a teasing smile, slowly arching her eyebrow suggestively. "..quite a scandal, miss Testarossa to be Harlaown is ogling at the girls in her class."
"Hmm.." The taller girl didn't flinch at the jeer, and positioned herself over the shorter instead, settling to sit in her lap placing her arms around the other girl's neck, and drew her lips right by the very hotly flushed ear in front. "..a scandal it might be, given how we were meant to make up not out.." She lowered her voice to a whisper. "..but as you just don't want the former.."
Fate pushed her tongue behind the ear she had whispered and nibbled the lobe right after raising an electric shock through the other girl's body. She circled her tongue around as she nibbled in hearing a faint squeaked moan and felt arms circling around her, pulling their bodies even closer. She let the ear go, sighing in anticipation of the fingers crawling under her uniform shirt and against her bare skin.
Burning in weird desire of not wanting to lose, the taller girl grabbed Nanoha's hair forcing the head aside and pushed her mouth on the smooth neck exposed. She sucked with passion, heating with every teasing scratch she felt coming down her back, down and up, up and down, the touch burned and chilled and drew her insane. She vented out her frustration by sucking harder the soft skin under her lips, stopping only to moan against it when the teasing fingers dug in deeper behind her.
With ragged breath, she drew her head back and faced the blue gaze filled with lust. The girls licked their lips unconsciously, diving deeper into each others eyes. In a moment of shared raw emotion, the brunette tried biting her lip and the blonde pushed in stopping the girl. Their lips locked again, closing, tasting, parting to let their tongues dance along. They lost who was which and which was whose feeling their mouths come one when the warm muscles cupped one another.
Fate groaned, pained with all the desire she could take no longer. She drew her head apart again and let her hands come down on the sides the of the girl below, and pulled, undressing the top barely covering the girl. Nanoha glimmered in her smile and in the small drops on the smooth skin of her heating body. Not waiting for her breasts come bare, she began unbuttoning the shirt of the girl in her lap ripping a few buttons off in her haste.
The blonde didn't care about the damage in her clothes, but she stopped it still, just to lift herself and the burning girl below to lead her to the bed beside them.
Nanoha crawled over wiggling her butt and leaned in to kiss the girl removing her shirt. She let her tongue lap over the other again, as her fingers traveled to skirt line while her left hand wondered behind the blonde to unclasp the black bra that seemed a size too small for the taller girl.
Indulged in the tongue in her mouth swapping saliva sweeter than she ever thought it could even be, Fate let her breasts come uncovered along with her shirt and felt a warm, firm touch on her right breast. She moaned on the mouth pushed against her, half giggling at the rough moves of the brunette squeezing her breast.
Nanoha parted the wet long kiss and began drifting lower, kissing, nibbling, and teasing with her tongue as she circled the neck down to the collarbone stopping to suck in.
The blonde let her hands wander behind the girl sucking on her skin and pulled away the bikini top leaving them both bare at the topside. Feeling the forceful groping ease, and turn gentler, she groaned out loud with the pleasure it gave her and wanted to return the favor. She let her left hand trail along the toned smooth soft sides of the girl sucking on her collarbone and felt her shudder with the faint teasing touches as she drifted closer and further up the chest.
Forced to halt the suction by the moans the brunette couldn't help but let out, she continued the journey she had set on, and let her tongue traverse in round motions lower, lower, lower to the full round breast and the cute round brown areola. With her tongue she brushed around it, tasting, exploring, and nibbled the pointing hard nipple centering it, as she did, sending sweet shivers on the girl her mouth devoured.
Fate squeezed in harder on the sweet full apple cupped in her hand as she moaned louder with the sensation. She felt hot under the mouth of the girl enjoying her bare chest. Hot and wet. Passion, desire, want, pure raw lust. She felt a shiver come out from deeper inside than any of the ones before. She eased the breast in her hold and let her hand venture lower instead.
Nanoha felt the hoodie tied on her hips come lose, while another hand headed straight to the button of her shorts. Her body heated with the expectation. Ragged breath blew on the pointy nub half inside her mouth and she clenched it between her teeth with a gentle nibble.
The blonde shuddered, and shook, and had to pause the undressing of the girl who drove her over the edge. I just.. Oh, fuck.. She couldn't form words, not even inside her mind. From deep within her pelvic region, she felt a contraction, convulsion, shock, a gush, she could only wiggle her hips trying to clinch in more, but came half empty with pleasure and in her need for more. Her mind blanked for an instance, a moment too short to be left satisfied, but long enough for her control to return. She wanted more, but she knew she wasn't the only one. Now it would be the arrogant brunette's turn to feel le petit mort.
Nanoha yelped in surprise, as she was suddenly pushed on her back, and pinned against the sheets. She flustered, and burned, she had lost herself enjoying the round hill that now hanged rising up and down in tune of the rabid heated breath of the girl above her. She lifted her eyes to meet the burgundy gaze smirking at her vulnerability. Her bewildered eyes soon smirked back smugly, when she found the stare coming down on her filled with uncontrollable desire.
That was all it took for Fate, and she ripped off the shorts pulling down the black string bikinis at the same.
"So rough~" The brunette giggled at the haughty way her clothes came off. "My impatient little heiress.."
The taller girl tossed the shorts, and the panties, proceeding to remove the shoes as she listened the taunts murmured from below.
"Aw~ it's kind of cute.." Nanoha purred lying on her back. "..the way you can't help yourself."
Fate kissed the foot she had uncovered and moved slower further kissing along her way from the ankle, letting her hands feel the smoothness of the well-toned thighs as her mouth tasted every part of the leg she held high.
"Gee.." The brunette giggled between her sighs, and faintly shivering groans, when the blonde drifted along the inner thigh towards the hip joint, and leaned in to sniff and blow a gentle breeze on the wet burning mound between her legs. "..you're just like a g- GOD!, Oh god, oh fuck!"she yelled out, arching her back as she shook violently with the sudden intrusion she felt when Fate pushed her tongue inside her.
The blonde let her tongue dive in briefly, before she pulled out circling along the dark lips just outside. She placed her hands behind the girl her mouth kissed and nibbled exploring her taste, and grabbed the cute bums that had teased her whenever the brunette wiggled them or swayed her hips with her steps. She let her fingers memorize the texture, and pulled the gushing, shaking. and shivering girl in pressed harder against her face.
Feeling Nanoha pushing her pelvis down and up and out grinding against her face, Fate felt a smug pride, and let her tongue pop inside the moaning girl again, turning the groans into something closer to shouts, screams, and growls than sweet purrs the brunette had been making earlier.
With each shouted sign of pleasure, with each push of the pelvis by the girl beneath, with each breath she took in and let out in the warm wetness pressing her mouth and face, the blonde felt a seizure, a one like before, ever closer to forcing it's way out. She had been the one giving the pleasure, but the scent, and the taste of the girl, and the juice flowing out of her, she fell more and more and deeper and deeper in burning blaze of her agonizing arousal, and in her need for release.
Driven over the edge by the desire within, she lifted her mouth up, as Nanoha retracted again, and took the small bud above the wet valley in the loving embrace of her mouth.
"Oh damn, shi- fucking frig..ging god..damn motherf-UCK!" The brunette couldn't help but curse incoherent, and drill her nails onto the sheets, digging deeper as the pleasure overcame her reason entirely.
The blonde let her tongue dance around the small button she had found, trying to find the spot giving the best response. She pulled her mouth apart, planting a faint kiss, and felt the girl below searching for her mouth again, thrusting her pelvis out and against the girl that had stopped to take a breath.
Nanoha couldn't think straight anymore, her mind blanked just the same with each touch she felt down on her. Fate had found just the places she had searched for and wouldn't give the brunette the rest needed to recover. She could only breath out heatedly, not understanding anything, or not even wanting to. Her wants were all about something, and someone else, and mostly, her mind drew a big O that swept all the other things away.
The blonde felt the brunette collapse on the bed and drew her head away. She crawled next to the spent girl, and laid her head beside her. She hadn't had 'her share', not in the same sense, or way the other girl, but in her exhaustion, she didn't really care. She had come, a little, as she went on. It made her feel strange, very strange, but she had made up her mind about not thinking too much about things that related to the girl who had once been her best friend. None of it made sense in any case, so what would be the point?
However.. the girl beside her, felt things differently, she yearned for 'avenge'..
"Pay back time.."
..and before Fate could react, she felt Nanoha turn on her side drawing her fingertips up along her thighs.
"..seeing – how – you – like – it – fast.." The brunette whispered into the ear next to her, teasing the lobe with her tongue between the words. "..I'll give you five seconds to say, no, foreplay, or go."
The arousal, the anticipation, the excitement, the overbearing need the blonde thought subsided, emerged stronger than before. The mere thought of things to come made her shiver growing hot and wet, burning drenched all around. She couldn't answer, she knew the last choice was the same as no choice, but she wouldn't dare say it aloud even if it weren't. She wouldn't, definitely wouldn't give in to the..
"Oh, fuck Nanoha.."
..feeling of being teased around the dripping lower lips. Nor would the finger trailing along the outline make her say the word. Nor the faint touch circling, searching, brushing all too gently could ever make her.. Ne-
"go.." She swallowed her pride, and broke the promise she just had made for herself.
"Where?" Nanoha teased, pretending to have forgotten her earlier intentions, and let her finger drift just outside the lines of the heated mound of the girl beside her.
"In..inside..please.." The blonde begged with a weak voice, she was aroused enough that it hurt. The brunette just pursed her lips and gazed at the ceiling in mock-wondering. "I really want to say fuck you Takamachi, but just this once.. fuck me." The girl had already sold her pride, what difference would it make if she sold her soul and virginity to the Devil as well..
..to the Devil, who happily complied, and parted the wet lips with her fingers, pointer pushing further on the one side, drawing the other one closer with her index.. ..and drove her middle finger in, softly, gently, but firmly.
Wanting to ease the entrance, soothing the pain, the brunette laid her lips on the pointy peak on the hill rising and falling with each uneven breath the blonde took, cupping it in with her tongue as moved her free right hand to caress the blonde's disheveled hair.
The finger clashed in, and halted against a wall, making the girl to stop her advances, and pull slowly back, letting her finger curl cupping as it slid outside.
Fate felt her body shake. It didn't hurt as much as she had feared, but it hadn't went all the way in.. She didn't know whether to appreciate the careful gentleness of the girl caressing her, or to feel frustrated by the want it only increased. She settled in both, and turned her eyes on her side, meeting the amused blue eyes above her breast, gleaming with a mixture of feelings she couldn't recognize, not in this state anyway. Trying to encourage the girl to go on, she parted her lips forming a silent plead.
Nanoha smirked at the expression, and drove her finger right in as the blonde had wanted, as she had done to her with her tongue, hearing a yelp turned moan as she curled her finger pushed as deep as it went. The shivering blonde gripped the sheets eyes just as wide as her body stiffened. The brunette slid out slowly, and placing her index right next to middle finger, she dug back in, just as forcefully as the first time, making the other girl stiffen in pleasant shock again.
She pushed in, fast, and curled her fingers as she pulled out. She pushed in again, spreading her fingers as she did, circling around inside the girl now moaning out loud and gripping the sheets tighter.
Fate didn't swear and scream the way Nanoha had done, but the way she felt, she couldn't describe it. She could feel the pain, but it excited more than not. She could feel the pleasure, but she blanked out before the peak. Her hips shook on their own, her breath felt hot in her lungs, she felt drenched in sweat, and the electric shocks sent from her nipple had become addictive. Not to mention the pressure building inside her deepest essence.
Entranced, engulfed in lavish want, she hated the girl making her feel better than she could on her own. Definitely a hate-sexual. That was certain. She sighed, groaning, as the brunette placed another finger near her entrance.. ..and slid right in, circling inside, curling, drawing lines as the tips slipped out, dragging along the outlines, and she couldn't take it. Her body grinded against the hand sending her so close to the big O, and yet kept her so far from the climax forming ready burst from her deepest core.
Nanoha twisted her palm, rubbing the nub above the valley her fingers danced in, and had to lift her mouth off the blonde as the girl arched her back violently, and after the quake toned down, she placed her lips near the ear half hidden under the glistening golden hair.
"Say please.." She stopped moving her hand. "..for release."
The blonde nodded weakly in response, but it wasn't enough for the other girl. Awaiting, awaiting with ragged breath she gave in faster than she could've believed.
"Please.." Even with the word, the brunette let her hand cruelly stand still. "Please let me.. Please make me cum!"
"Good girl."
Nanoha drove her fingers in, three at a time, and rubbed the nub up and down with her palm, as she dived in, and slid out, curling and spreading her fingers while she let them glide along the warm, soft, wet texture inside the girl shivering in her caress. She didn't ease out slowly any longer, she was pumping, fast, sending the blonde away from the room they were in to a wholly another world of her own.
Fate moaned, groaned, wailed, and cried out senseless, as her body shook and stiffened. Her eyes shut tight and blew right open blinking between sewed tight and round and wide. Shivering in her aftershock, she felt the fingers glide along her lower lips patting gently as a form of goodbye.
The girls lied still, one catching her breath and one pulling a blanket over her.
The blonde looked at her side, and realized the lights had come back on somewhere along her small death, and shrugging it aside as inconsequential, she carefully slid under the covers as well, holding the brunette who had turned her back on her. She wanted to feel close, even if it was her, or was it because of her? She couldn't tell in the state she was in. The only thing she knew, was that the whole situation was extremely strange. Right after she had gained her senses, the other girl had went from smiling smug to snubbing her. She drew closer to the silent brunette.
"So.. You get what you wanted? Stalker.."
Fate went breathless for a second.
"What?"
"Oh, not enough, huh.. just.. let me rest for a minute, I'm.. kinda tired," Nanoha sounded less tired and more like distant. She, in some odd way, felt really close in all her meanness before, but this was different.. Impartial.
"Yeah, just.. yeah, whatever." Fate sighed. She felt tired too, too tired to fight, or to think that much, even if she hadn't promise she wouldn't think about things related to the girl beside her.
"Yeah, no big deal, huh.. I.. just knew it, fucking great.. Really fucking great.."
The blonde didn't know what to do, or to say, so she closed her arms around the brunette faintly whispering to herself and they shared a moment of silence.
Fate let her close when she felt the girl in her arms snuggle back against her, but as she drowsed off.. ..she heard the door open and saw a familiar short brunette coming in.
"You're late, your threesome's over," Nanoha rose from under the covers jeering displeased before she turned to look at the girl holding her. "..and so will be you," As the girl spoke, she shook her head conjuring up her familiar irritating flashy posture. "..but, hey like, yeah whatever.." and as the girl rose up to dress herself, she pulled out her tongue "'cause.. I still hate your face."
/AN : So there was a small guest appearance from the three MCs from the story the plot of this one is mainly based on. I left them unnamed for two reasons : The original story's doubtful to come complete or published as things stand, and I didn't feel the need to make up new names for characters that'll unlikely feature ever again, but putting minor details aside;
While writing smut, or smutty scenes, is in no way a new thing for this one, this is the first one novelized (meaning that's not in a manga or some other form of media than a novel) as well as the first yuri one written completely alone, and the very first one written in English altogether, so there were a lot of firsts, and I'm a bit sore from it, but in a happy way (:
After this, it'll take a lot of time to publish the next chapter, or any other works, for reasons, that are mostly personal, but I'll try to make my 'come back' in this month, also, a lot new stuff will come out within the next few months so.. There's a lot to write, and hopefully for you to read. Now, on the things that matter..
Stay tuned for our next episode of MSLN Strike Love : Fucks me, Fucks me not (Winner's Cup 1)
"We had sex, it doesn't mean you get to own me.."
"What you want with Takamachi, blondie!?"
"You know nothing, Testarossa, you know nothing.."
