I was bored.

I made my formal introduction to the man in charge after giving him a while to cool off and was briefed about the situation along with Syn. Apparently we were on the front line, that was starting to lose. The base was mostly surrounded but couldn't be evacuated because it was a strategic point in their operation. Hayate had originally planned for us to just make an appearance, escort their supply truck, and then fall back to the reserves until the rest came.

Well we screwed that one up.

Syn and I were stuck here now and we could only wait for any new orders, although I doubt we would be getting anything. A few people were pissed at us while another handful were obviously doubting the little girls they saw.

As I got back in our tent, I noticed that Syn had already placed a barrier around it and had turned on the hand held temperature control unit. I felt a little cooler inside than out and got a lame smile from her when I gave a questioning look. "It's hot," She told me simply.

Barriers could insulate depending on how strong you wanted to make the magic. Syn had, apparently, just made it enough to stay invisible. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing. "They're still a little mad." I told her while sitting down beside her.

"Figures." Her eyes closed. "We can't do anything until the base gets some kind of orders. I wonder when that will be?"

"I don't know." I looked at her a moment before shifting to sit behind her. My hand went to finger comb her loose hair and I got a sigh for my troubles. "You like it."

Syn didn't answer me but I could feel her body relax as I stroked her hair. The silken strands were only a little knotted up, and split apart at my gentle urging. "Vivio, why do you like doing that?"

"I don't know, I guess it calms me down. Nanoha-mama would do this to Fate-mama whenever she was stressed."

"And then proceed to do what made them known as "the bunny couple" ?"

I blushed. True, we were young, but both of us were wise beyond our years. Growing up in a military base and training with people twice to three times our age really spoiled our childhood. Although I've never had a boyfriend, or girlfriend for that matter, I was... a little interested in it. "Are you suggesting that we do that?"

Syn chuckled softly and leaned back against me a little more, allowing me to put her hair into a high cheer-leader style ponytail. "Pervert." I smiled and giggled.

Maybe I was, just a little.

love it. Vio/Syn are so cute! They are way too mature as 12 years old kids. Well, all Takamachis are like that.
