Ahem, double post and all, but...

Spoiler for Vivio Overreacts - Yuuno and Hayate Dating!?:

Einhart didn’t quite understand Vivio at times, but she mainly attributed that to her own emotionally sparse upbringing and outlook. Given that the blond girl was dragging her along and into the Infinite Library, the enthusiasm at going through all sorts of books exuding off of her like a normal child would about candy, games, or toys. In her memory, this was probably her own first time going to the landmark. Her closest friend started talking as they walked through the doors, “Hm, I wonder if Yuuno-san is in today. I rarely get to see him, since Uncle Chrono seems to like giving him a lot of work…oh! Or maybe he’s on a dig. I think Vita-san said something about him going on one recently, and coming back with some new artifacts and tomes.”

The silvery-green haired girl at her side had a bit of a confused look on her face, “Yuu-no-san? Do you mean Yuuno Scrya, the head and chief librarian here? I hadn’t realized that he was close to Takamichi-san.”

Vivio made a little pout, “Well, Yuuno-san was childhood friends with Nanoha-mama, Fate-mama, Uncle Chrono, and Auntie Hayate, but he isn’t really a front-line fighter like them. Vita-san always tells me that he’s only had his barriers and shields broken once, and that was against all three Aces-“

From in front of them, though, she was cut off by a soft but amused voice, “Well, Vivio, Vita might be blowing that out of proportion, really. Don’t tell her I said anything, but she still dislikes not being able to scratch me herself. And we were all teenagers when that happened in a sparring match, so I don’t know how much actual power they were putting behind their attacks.” He paused and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose from where he had stopped walking, “but that’s a different matter. What can I do for you, Vivio? Come to check out some books? Or wanting to research something? Ah, and I suppose the lovely young lady your dragging by the hand is Stratos-san, correct?”

Einhart nodded politely in response, curious to see a bit more of her friend’s interaction with the, surprisingly to her, young chief librarian. The younger of the two blondes pouted, “Mou, you’re asking too much right then, Yuuno-san. What got you all talkative?”

Scratching the back of his head, he chuckled lightly, “Well…Hayate invited me over to her office to commission my help on a case…”

“Ah, she teased and flirted with you, then! Nanoha-mama warned me to not use Adult Mode too much around Auntie…though, I think you and Zaffy are the only boys who Auntie does that to.”

“You know Hayate, Vivio; she doesn’t do it out of malice…it’s just her way of being affectionate, however inappropriate and embarrassing,” blushing particularly at one memory, he continued, “but on a different topi-“

“Oh, so she’s like Sein-nee that way!” a nod of innocent understanding bloomed again upon her face.

“Heheh, I suppose. I haven’t really met any of the Numbers…besides Uno-san, at least…” he scratched his cheek, embarrassed that Vivio was so insistent on the topic.

Einhart wore a puzzled expression on her face, but commented, “Vivio, don’t you think we should move on, though? Yuuno-san seems like he has other things he needs to do, and we don’t want to spend all our time here…”

Yuuno shook his head, “Don’t worry about it, Stratos-san. You both can stay however long you would like…within reason of course,” eyeing Vivio in particular with a mock severe expression, he continued “I have another meeting with Hayate for the case later on, though, so I’ll need to leave half an hour before you both should head home for the evening.”

“Eh, another meeting with Auntie!? Yuuno-san, are you really okay?”

‘What sort of reputation is Nanoha instilling in Vivio concerning Hayate?’ he mentally sweat-dropped at that, “Yes, I’m really okay, Vivio. Let’s see about the books or text you want, okay?”

Einhart tilted her head, “Multiple meetings in one day…that expression…Yuuno-san is dating Yagami-san?”

At that nearly deadpan statement, Vivio’s concern maximized, “Yuuno-san, you’ll die too young!”

‘…I feel like I’m the prop for a comedy act,’ mentally cried Yuuno.

I don't know what I'm doing. XD

Spoiler for Vivio Overreacts - Things Get Complicated:

Fate had had a long day; she had gone on a wild goose chase, with only archaic clues as to not only what she was supposed to investigate, but also as to who or what her suspect was. So, when she returned home, after knocking a few heads together for sending her on such a meaningless and headache-inducing task, she was only just cycling down from being frazzled.

Nanoha, on the other hand, had had a relaxed day in her office writing critiques and reviews on some of the trainees under her care. So she was home early and able to cook for her worn and weary friend and herself.

They were jerked out of their reverie by the front door opening, noise of stumbling feet, and a distraught wail from Vivio, "Nanoha-mama-!!!" The blonde, dragging Einhart right behind her, had at least made sure to get their shoes off before entering the rest of the building.

Huffing and puffing with her hands on her knees, the adoptive daughter of the two Aces tried to gather oxygen back to her lungs, while Fate and Nanoha had a mix of curiosity, worry, and long-suffering written all over their faces. Einhart could at least empathize in their suffering.

"Auntie Hayate is dating Yuuno-san!!!" her exclamation was said with all the seriousness of a poor, rank-and-file soldier reporting to a king that the ruler's daughter had been taken by a dragon or scoundrel.

Fate, for all her weariness, could only chuckle lightly at this, "This is going to be good-"

On the other hand, Nanoha sweat-dropped, "Um...Vivio-chan...mind explaining what you mean? You might have misunderstood. Yuuno-kun and Hayate-chan are friends, but I don't know about-"

Vivio cut her off, "I know what I saw and heard, Nanoha-mama! Yuuno-san told use he had a meeting with Auntie Hayate earlier today, and he looked really, really happy! But also really tired- and he was going to meet up with her again this evening!"

The young blonde was on a roll, and Fate was struggling to not start giggling horribly at it all. Nanoha, though, had a strange expression between amusement, confusion, and worry.

"Yuuno-san will die, mama! Zaffy, Auntie Shamal, and Zwei-chan won't do anything to him or for him. Auntie Signum and Agito-chan probably won't care- but if Vita doesn't bruise him a lot-"

Now that brought both adoptive mothers to giggles, "-or doesn't throw Miura-chan his way, Auntie Hayate will drain him dry!"

The only response Nanoha could give was, "Miura-chan is a bit too young for Yuuno-kun, Vivio-chan, and I doubt Hayate-chan would-"

"Miura-chan likes older men, mama. The bookish type. Corona-chan too," Vivio had tears in her eyes, more worried about what Hayate would do, but still sharing that piece of info. Fate's giggling started to hurt her sides.

"-I have no response to that, Vivio-chan," Nanoha put that aside. She didn't want to think of her childhood friend dating or attracting Vivio's friends and rivals. The thought of him spending time with Uno still unnerved her. "But I assure you Hayate won't drain him dry-"

Einhart decided to speak up, "Ah, she knows how to control her hunger. Yagami-san is an experienced succubus or vampire. It makes sense."

Poor Fate's sides hurt too much in her reaction to that. Vivio started crying a little bit, while Nanoha could only sigh, '...poor Yuuno-kun.'
