Sunlight beamed through the cracks between the blinds shinning into the peaceful room where a brunette and blonde laid curled up against one another.
"Wake up sir."
"Ughh…ten more minutes Bardiche…" The blonde said tightening her grip on the sleeping brunette next to her. After Fate told Nanoha how she really felt about her, life seemed better to the blonde. She felt lighter and free now that she didn't have to hide her feelings anymore. She felt happier and couldn't stop smiling because she was finally with the girl of her dreams.
Today would be the first day that the two would show themselves as a couple officially even though many thought they already were. To be honest Fate couldn't wait to inform everyone, she was sick of telling the countless people that adored Nanoha to go away and keep their confessions to themselves.
"Ten minutes have passed. Wake up Sir."
The blonde groaned. It was one of those moments when you shut your eyes and you think that it's only been a few seconds when in reality it had been much longer.
"Please wake up, my master."
Upon hearing the voice of her device Nanoha snuggled closer into Fate. She had heard Bardiche before telling Fate to wake up but tried to block him out and now her own device, Raising Heart, was interrupting her sleep.
"Fatee-chaaaannn…" Nanoha whined, too tired to do something about the unwelcome wakeup call.
The said blonde leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Nanoha's forehead. "Come on, we better get ready. Who knows what Hayate will do if we're late." Fate audible gulped at the double meaning behind her words. She could already imagine the endless teasing and comments such as 'What held you up? Were you keeping each other busy?' or something like 'What were you guys doing that made you late, or should I say, what weren't you guys doing?' that her friend would make. Shaking her head to get rid of unwanted thoughts, Fate reluctantly released Nanoha and started to get ready motioning for her to do the same.
Once ready, Fate helped Nanoha get dressed since the brunette still couldn't move her arm that well. As Nanoha removed her shirt, Fate could feel herself start to get red in the face. She had seen Nanoha like this countless times but every time she would have the same reaction. Fortunately or unfortunately for the blonde, the bandages covered Nanoha's chest.
When Nanoha was ready to go, the pair headed toward Fate's car. Their hands instantly found each other and their fingers intertwined. Nanoha was glad to have Fate there. Her leg and mid section still hurt a little when she walked and sometimes she felt like she was going to fall over but she knew that if she did, Fate would be there to catch her.
Being close to the main building the car trip wasn't very long. Fate helped Nanoha exit from the car, and made their way to Hayate's office. It had been a couple of weeks since either of them was here and it felt weird to be back. When they walked through the doors, all eyes fell on the pair and all movement around them stopped. It was expected as the two had been absent and Nanoha was the Ace of Aces after all but it seemed a little weird. Everyone seemed to be staring at them like they grew a head or two and Fate saw how several people sent death glares towards her.
"What? Why isn't anyone doing anything?" Came the unmistakable voice of their commander from around the corner. "Fate-chan! Nanoha-chan!" The said commander squealed as they came into view.
"Uh can you tell everyone to stop looking at us?" Fate asked still not knowing the reason for all the attention.
Hayate put her hand to her forehead and sighed dramatically. Both, Fate and Nanoha raised an eye brow at their friend's actions. Hayate sighed again and fell to the ground clutching her chest with her other hand. "Ah! I haven't seen my two best friends in ages and they don't even say hi to me even after all we've been through." She sobbed as she rolled around on the fall. "Seems like now that they have become one with each other, they think they are too good for their old friend Hayate-sama."
