Nanoha's POV

It's been a little over a year and a half since Fate and I started dating. In addition, I can't wait for us to start the next stage in our relationship we promised each other that we were going to live with each other after graduation.

Mom and dad weren't too keen on this at first thinking that I had to come home and manage the bakery/café in my hometown. Nevertheless, overtime we won the argument, they decided to open a new branch near the college, and the two of us will be working it together.

But I'm getting ahead of myself we have to graduate first and that's just a few days away. Most of our stuff is already in the apartment, which is just above the bakery. There's going to be a big graduation party over at the College Cosplay Café which will now be owned and managed by both Hayate and Alicia it actually surprised me when Fate told me that she was the silent partner and money behind the Café I didn't realize she had that much money.

Now that I think of it, she's never talked about her parents and neither has Alicia. I wonder if they're estranged. But I'm quite sure they'll tell me about it someday. I have to get ready for the party tonight.

Fate just called to let me know she was on her way to pick me up, were going together. I'm not even ready yet if she came in now she'd get quite an eye full. With that thought I could feel my cheeks getting warm I must be blushing at the thought.

The party is now in full swing Fate and I are slow dancing she keeps rubbing her hands up and down my back and every once a while they would slide down and caress my butt but then she would pull her hands back up again and hold me.

Every time she has tried to go a little further more than just kissing I will only go so far before I have to stop her I'm just not ready yet to go that far. I know this has to be frustrating for her but I'm just not ready yet no matter how good it feels at the time I'm just unsure myself.

It's graduation night we both have our diplomas, both of us with high honors. My parents are taking pictures of all of my friends. I'm just so excited because tomorrow we start our lives as a couple in the outside world but is the outside world ready for us I'm starting to have my doubts we will be able to make it in the outside world.

We've been living together now for three months and every night she kisses and touches me. She makes me burn and yearn for her touch, but I want to save myself for that special night we would become one in name as well as body and soul. I love her so much that if she doesn't ask me soon I'll be asking her for her hand in marriage myself.

Fate's POV

After we had graduated and moved into the apartment that was just above the bakery that Nanoha and I were to manage and run. I thought things between us would go much more smoothly now that we were living together.

After working hard all day, we both take separate showers and then cuddle up on the couch I'm usually laying back and have her draped on top of me. The next thing I know I'm kissing, and caress her and she'll only let me get so far I want to make love to this woman so badly but I hold myself back because I know she's not ready for it at least that's what she tells me.

I don't want to but I need to ask, she kisses me and responds like she wants me but when I start to go further than kissing and petting she stops me, it's like she doesn't want me touching her, just like a straight girl would do. I have a feeling this is going to break my heart maybe even my soul.

"Nanoha we need to talk I need to know how you truly feel about me do you love me as your girlfriend or am I just a friend? I love you so much that I want to be with you in every way, but you keep pushing me away and I'm starting to get confused thinking that maybe you don't love me the way I love you…”

I waited for Nanoha to say something but nothing came from her lips. So I continued with what’s on my mind.

“I want us to be a couple in every way and I'm willing to wait if you're still scared to go to that next level of making love, but I need to know Nanoha are you in love with me as your girlfriend or am I just your friend? Are you finding out that you’re straight and you don't know how to tell me or break it to me that you don't feel that way towards me as you used to? Please tell me what I'm doing wrong and I'll try and fix it or is it really me that is broken and you're looking for someone else."

With that, Nanoha turns around and hugs me.

"Oh Fate it's not you it's me I have never been with anybody as much as I want to be with you I love you so much that it actually scares me. The way you touch and caress me and then there's your kisses they make me want to love you and be with you even more it's not you it's me I'm saving myself for my wedding night and someday I hope that we will get married and then eventually either have a child or adopt one."

Here I was, worried that she had realize that she didn't love me the way that I love her and she's just been waiting for me to marry her so that we could be together. This just makes me want to love her even more but I put my arms around her and just hold her content in the knowledge that she still wants us to be together, that she wants us to have a future together, she wants us to have a family together. What more can I ever ask for in the woman that I love.

"Nanoha starting tonight can we share the same bed just so that I can hold you at night? I don't want to be separated from you; I want to hold you in my arms. Like we used to do when we were in college and we would hold each other all night long just contented to be with each other. Would that be all right until the night I can make love to you like I want to."

"Oh Fate I've wanted to do that months ago ever since we moved in but I've held back. I loved those nights when you would hold me in your arms I always felt safe cradled and surrounded in your loving arms."

That night while lying in my bed holding my love, I start to make my plans of making us one. If I do this right we can have a summer wedding and the best day to propose is coming up, but there is something I need to do before I asked her that all-important question which I'm pretty sure I knew the answer to I have to go and see her parents.
