A/N: Another (better) NanoCoffee. Nano has something to show the impatient scientist.
"N-Nano! What are you doing?!" The scientist cried as his jetpack was ripped from his back and goggles slipped from his face. The fluxed girl's fingers slotted between his own, tightening around his hand as she lead him out of the room. "What's going on?" He asked, getting slightly annoyed by Nano's refusal to speak. Still, she said nothing, simply taking Lalna up to the top of Panda Labs, after climbing up ladder upon ladder. "Will you tell me?" His anger faded as he saw the innocent smile on her lips.
"I want to show you something." Nano replied. Her hand clenched tightly around Lalna's as she ran to the edge. Lalna stumbled, scared of the drop. Nano pulled out her hand glider, and Lalna soon after, and they began to glide together. Lalna glanced at Nano, their hands no longer intertwined; both feeling the ghosting of the touch on their skin.
"What do you want to show me, Nano?" He asked curiously. Maybe she had found some new ore or material that they could use. Maybe some electrical parts for a new machine. Maybe something for her own magical needs; he was interested in magic anyway. The two just glided in silence as Nano said nothing, the wind brushing against their faces. It had been so long, too long, since Lalna had felt the wind on his face; specifically his eyes. At first it was buffeting, but soon they got used to it and it was enjoyable. Nano led Lalna to the top of a hill, landing gently. Lalna was a little clumsier, but it was good enough. The two put their gliders away, and Lalna turned to Nano. The setting sun's rays highlighted her features perfectly, even if one side was in darkness. "Now will you tell me, Nano? What is it you want to show me?" Lalna asked. He had never been a patient person. Nano smiled, slightly sad, as she turned to the sun.
"Isn't it beautiful?" She asked, her hand slipping into Lalna's. Their hands squeezed each other as the two watched the orb in the sky. "It makes everything perfect, doesn't it?" Nano whispered, her black hair falling across her eyes in the wind. Lalna blinked.
"I...don't understand, Nano." He murmured. "You said you wanted me to see something...but you haven't shown me anything yet..." He trailed off when he heard a sniffle. Lalna gently brushed Nano's hair from her face, tears clearly on her cheeks. "W-What's wrong?" Nano glanced at the sun again.
"...I've shown you so many things. The nature, the sun...the breeze on your face...yet, you were too fixated on finding something new. Life is full of new things; you've just got to look. Not for something that is completely new. But...take a different perspective." The girl paused for a moment. "Example, the sun. Usually, to a scientist, it's just a large ball of gas in the sky providing us light and heat. To me, it's just beautiful. Nothing about gas, nothing about science. I see the true beauty." She turned to the taller man. "Don't you see? You're stuck with your scientific brain! You don't see beauty anymore, only in new contraptions or new ideas. Why can't you just look at what's already here?" By now Nano didn't even bother controlling her tears. Lalna had already seen them anyway. "That's why I didn't want your goggles or your jetpack. Those gadgets just ruin it." She muttered, curling up on the ground. Finally it clicked in Lalna's brain. Being so fixated on science, he missed the one true beautiful thing in his life. Nano. He knelt down beside the shivering girl, taking her in his embrace. He stroked her hair gently, letting her cry. It was better to let it all out than to bottle it up. After Lalna would make sure to not neglect her again. He'd never make that mistake twice. A gently kiss on the cheek caused a little smile to form on the girl's face.
"I won't forget you again. You mean everything to me. I was just too blind to see it."
