Pairing: Yagami Hayate x Carim Gracia, mentioned NanoFate

Genre: Romance, Humor, AU and most likely OOCness (keeping it limited)

Disclaimer: Like everyone else, I claim no ownership to any characters or series. I only own this plot, and gutter of Hayate's mind.

A/N: First time trying to write a fanfic for my favorite series. It's a surprise it's not NanoFate, but Hayate/Carim. Also this little bud is AU, meaning no magic whatsoever. There might also be some OOCness occurring, I'll keep it to a minimum, though. Dedicated to my Yuuki, and any other Fan of thisfabulous pairing. Also excuse my not using any sort of Japanese suffixes' I don't want to offend other people, who are proficient in using them.

Chapter #01

Arrangements

Today was a sunny and beautiful day. Birds where chirping, flowers were blooming in the garden and students were tortured in class. And whilst everything was shiny and bright, my mood was no such thing. Why, you ask? No reason really, only that my two best friends left for a spontaneous 'date' onto the rooftop of our school building – in our language that meant they were having a heavy make-out session – leaving me all by my lonesome self. Oh, whatever shall I do! I could get some new blackmail material... but considering they caught me last time and did some things that should not be mentioned – ever – I should leave them be. For now.

Plopping down on one of the stone benches of the school yard, I cursed our suck-ish timetables. With Nanoha and Fate being on their 'date' and Arisa and Suzuka still being in class, there was nothing to do for me. So I did what every stereotype teenager does. I sighed out of boredom and took out my cell phone.

'No new messages' the display wrote. Is there no love for me?

Typing rapidly I decided to have some fun and annoy the schools not so 'secret couple'.

'Can't u get ur gf off sum othr time?' Send

I waited a few minutes. Nothing. Stupid rabbits! I sighed again.

"You shouldn't sigh so much." Came a soft voice from behind me. Turning around, I nearly fell off the bench at seeing an angel… Well it wasn't an angel per se, 'cause said 'Angel' would scowl at me for thinking that, but it was the thought that counted, right? Let me get back on track. Before me – or behind me, really – stood one beautiful woman, with long – not as long as Fate's but still long – blonde tresses, a purple hair band and blue – Really blue! – eyes. Her uniform fit just right, showing off her curves. And of course with those really smooth and long legs the uniform fit even better – considering our skirts weren't on the 'long' side. Picture perfect, one would say.

"Carim~!" I shout happily. This fine young woman was Carim Gracia, a foreign student from Italy, a cousin of Fate – she has a few of those – and I might have a small crush on her.

"Hayate, what are you doing here, all alone?" She asked with a smile. Okay, maybe not so small, but actually pretty big.

"Cursing our horny love-bunnies for leaving me all alone to have sexy-time." I say bluntly, making Carim blush at my choice of words. Of course, being a good friend of mine, that should make her get used to that sort of language, but my dear friend was on the reserved side of life – just like Fate – so speaking freely of these topics like that, made her a bit uncomfortable. Even if it was just really light hinting at it.

Oh, how I love seeing them squirm. Ah, mind is guttering. Good mind, you are my new best friend.

"Shame on them, I guess…" Carim said with a crooked smile and sat beside me. I wonder what she would look like in a French maid dress. Or just an apron, I'd dismiss dinner and bath and go straight – hah, what a pun – for her.

"Is there something on my face?" My angels' voice tore me out of my thoughts and I scratched the back of my head cheekily. Maybe I should keep the fantasizing down a bit. Hah, as if that would work. You cannot shut off a genius' mind!

"Don't mind me starring at a beauty like you~" I sang happily and waited for a reaction. If there was one thing I knew about my current companion, it was that, once you pushed the right buttons, she'd flirt back – I managed that three times so far.

The blonde blushed slightly – which looked really cute and adorable – and shook her head. "Back to flirting, are you, little raccoon? Did you not learn your lesson last time?" Oh she's using her 'mean teacher'-voice. Makes you want to have her punish you right away. Preferably with really tight clothes, knee-long leather boots and a whip.

I grinned like a cat – or is it a raccoon? "I only learn what I need to learn, the rest is unnecessary information, dear Carim." I winked at her and leaned back on my arms, which where propped up on the edge of the bench. Carim chuckled heartily and looked up at the sky.

"So my Italian friend, what drove you to visit little old me? Surely it was not the warm weather." I asked in a humble voice.

"No unfortunately it was not the weather that led me to you. It was actually your sidekick – Shario, was it? – told me to tell you club activities are cancelled today and that you have the afternoon off. And since I have nothing to do, I decided to spend my precious time with your poor soul." I just love her sarcasm. Wait, that's not the point.

"Drat. And I hoped to dress up some underclassmen in some new dresses. Looks like I'm stuck with you afterwards." I faked an annoyed sigh and shook my head. Seconds later we laughed out loud. "How about we meet after school and get some tea?" I offered. Take the bait, take the bait little lamb. Score! She nodded her head. "I'd love to. I'll see you later, then?" I smiled in approval and jumped off the bench, saluted her in a joking matter.

"See you later, Carim~" I said and sashayed off.

Finally something to look forward on this day! Well aside from the last school lessons. Curse you school, for existing.
