*Subaru is standing on the roof, leaning against the guard rail, looking at the stars with red eyes*

*sniffle* ... Heather ... I kinda wonder what the others were like... maybe then I'd get it. Did I do something wrong? What do they have that I don't...? ... I felt so special...

I want to see Nanoha, and Ginga, and... Tia. I really wanna see Ginga and Tia right now... I want to go home.

A-Ano sa.. I...


My name is Nanoha.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

... *stare, blink, blink, jaw slacks*

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

Despite herself and despite Nanoha knowing why, the faintest hints of a smile play with one corner of her mouth.

G...Gomen. I didn't intend to intrude. Pardon me.

And with that she turned to leave.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

W-wait! *she all but lunges at Nanoha's back side, clinging to the back of her shirt and crying* Nanoha... you're really here...

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

Again, she wasn't sure why she was smiling because this girl was clearly in pain, but she remained where she was, letting the girl cry into her back for a few moments.

Hai. I'm here.

Obviously this girl knew her. Fate-chan hadn't mentioned anyone else. Maybe she'd forgotten. Either way, it didn't bother her. She'd find out in time.

Then she turned around and gently put her arms around the crying girl.

It'll be okay. Whatever it is. It will be okay.

Oh, I'm sorry. This must be so... *sniffle* confusing for you... I know you don't remember me, but I'm Subaru, and...

*sniff*

you're just as nice as I remember...

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

She lifted a hand to gently stroke the back of the girl's head. Then she pulled back so she could look down at her.

It's nice to meet you, Subaru. I wish it was under nicer circumstances.

Indigo-colored eyes focused on the girl's sad face. Her expression was sympathetic.

What's wrong?

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

I... my...

Heather was seeing other people...

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

Heather?

The name felt odd coming out of her mouth. Lips pursed as she realized to what Subaru was actually referring. Her heart hurt for this girl. She was silent for a few moments as she thought.

I'm sorry, Subaru. Really.

Her hand moved from the top of the girl's head, to her cheek. She smiled softly.

I'm sure it sounds hard to believe right now, but I think you'll be okay on the other side of this.

... *She sniffled and looked up at her with watering eyes* I don't know what I should do until then...

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

You should know you don't deserve to be treated badly. And you should let your friends take care of you.

Her smile grew just so.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

... that helps but... what about...

... I should talk to her...

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

I think... She tried to search her mind, hoping against hope that she could find something there that would indicate any experience she'd had in her own life. Of course... she came up with nothing.

I think you should always try and talk to someone. I think we should always try to understand why people make the choices they do.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

... but what is there to say? Can there be a good reason for this?

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

I think you need to decide what's best for you, Subaru. If you think talking to her will bring you closure, then talk with her. If you think it will only hurt you, then don't.

Her thumb stroked the girl's cheek for a few seconds.

You have to decide for yourself, but I'm sure your friends will support you no matter what you do.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

... thank you...

*sniffle* you're really good at this, you know...

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Her smile was sweet, and she took her hand from the girl's face.

You shouldn't stay up here all alone, Subaru. I'm not sure, but I think I've never been fond of anyone being alone.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to... clear my head a bit...

... I didn't want to see her or my roommate right now...

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

She nodded and took a step back, her arms finally removing themselves from around the other girl.

Okay. ..So long as you're sure. If you'd like to come see me sometime, I'd like that. I live in room 110.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *Subaru's hands fiddle behind her back a bit for a moment before she gave Nanoha a quick hug and let her go.*

O-oh! Have you seen Fate yet? She'll be so surprised...!

[idkmybfffate.livejournal.com]

She nodded enthusiastically.

"Hai! I met Fate-chan yesterday! I was surprised to have someone know me. She did seem really shocked at first."

Then she giggled.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

You really surprised me, too... *she faintly smiled for a moment*
