Nepgear's P.O.V (L/N Residence)
Nepgear: Zzz...
Outside of my dream world I could hear someone calling out to me. A girl presumably but it was muffled so I couldn't tell. As time kept on passing, the voice became clearer and it sounded like Uni.
Uni: Oii! How long are you going to sleep?!
Y/N: Just let her be...
Another voice, identical to Y/N could be heard too. I couldn't sleep anymore because of the sounds so I slowly opened my eyes. My vision was blurry but I saw Uni who looked angry and Y/N who looks troubled.
Nepgear: Uni? And Y/N? Good morning...
As I rubbed my eyes Uni just got even more angrier.
Uni: The blazing sun is up high and you can still call it morning?
Nepgear: Huh?
I grabbed my N-Gear from the small table next to the bed to check the time. To my surprise...
Nepgear: Oh my goodness! It's already this late?!
According to my N-Gear, it's currently 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I planned on going on the date at least after breakfast but... Oh, how this has gone terribly wrong.
Nepgear: I-I'll get ready as soon as possible!
I quickly jumped off the bed and went to the bathroom in quick haste. How embarrassing...
Uni: Seriously, that Nepgear...
Y/N: You said she planned the whole thing in one night?
Uni: She overdid herself because she was extremely anxious about this date.
Y/N: I see...
Timeskip Y/N's P.O.V
Nepgear: I-I'm ready! Actually I'm better than ready! I'm readier than ready!
Y/N: C-Calm down...
Uni: How embarrassing...
I can't believe how anxious Nepgear can be when it comes to these kind of things. I need to find a way to calm her mind. Maybe with something she likes.
Y/N: (Wait... something she likes? I got it!) Nepgear, let's go!
Nepgear: R-Right!
Timeskip (Old Workshop)
I've never really thought I'll use this workshop in years. It looks like an abandoned wooden shelter outside. I walked towards the door to quickly unlock it.
Nepgear: Umm... Y/N. Why are we here?
Y/N: I'm kind of tired walking on my legs so let's do something else for a change.
Nepgear kept on giving me a confused expression until I managed to unlock the door. I took down the chain and opened it slowly. Once it was fully opened, dust flew out as the place was a little bit in a mess. But in the middle of all that was a machine covered with a cloth. I used a gentle wind magic I've learnt from Vert to remove most of the dust here but it ended up ruining the surprise.
Nepgear: That's a motorbike right?
Y/N: Yup. My uncle left it for me but he left it in a bad condition. It's still repairable so I thought after we fix this, we'll take it for a spin.
Nepgear: Repairing...
Nepgear looks like she's already dreaming about what she could do with it already.
Y/N: You can do whatever you like but please don't make it stand out too much...
I know she means well but if the bike is modified Planeptune style, I'm worried about creating a scene with the people from this world.
We began fixing it as soon as possible as I do not want this date to end in a dusty old workhouse. Although Nepgear is not used to these type of machinery, she still manages to be a big help. We switched out the engine with a newer one, gave it a new paint job, switched out a few old parts like lights and mirrors. It's all thanks to ARC's tech we're able to do this even with the little experience we have.
I reached out my hand to take the wrench but at the same time, Nepgear reached out her hand to grab the wrench too. In ended up in Nepgear grabbing my hand and since she's focused on the bike, she thought my hand was a wrench.
Y/N: Umm... Nepgear?
Nepgear payed no mind and continued to hold my hand. She tried to use my hand to turn a bolt but realised something was off.
Nepgear: Huh? This wrench doesn't seem to... Goodness! It's a hand!
She quickly let's me go and turned to see my face. Nepgear's face was so red it was impossible to hide it.
Nepgear: I-I'm so sorry! I was so focused I completely didn't notice that was your hand.
Y/N: Never mind. You must really love machineries.
Nepgear: Yes...
Her face was still red. She could only mumble the answer while avoiding my gaze.
Y/N: She's cute when she's like this...
Nepgear: C-Cute?!
Y/N: Crap, I said that aloud huh?
This time, Nepgear's face was pure red. She covered her face with the palms of her hands. Once she felt more comfortable, she removed her hands from her face but the dirt on her hand caused the smudges on her face. I chuckled a bit before getting a clean cloth to wipe the smudges off her face. Her face returned to being red and the process cycled.
Timeskip
Y/N: Whew... Done.
I wiped the sweat off my face and looked at the fully repaired bike. It was in a new F/C colour and it was overhauled almost completely from a broken antique to an up-to-date design. It took at least 2 hours to get this done which is quite impressive considering the situation we're in.
Nepgear: You can barely notice the difference.
Nepgear said with a smile.
Y/N: What's left now is...
Timeskip
(OTW to the Convenience Store)
I stopped the bike when the lights had turned red. I looked behind to see Nepgear enjoying herself while her arms were locked around my waist. While waiting for the lights to go green, I putted up the recent news next to me via ARC. There had been a few incidents involving Seth's goons and monsters from Gamindustri.
Y/N: It won't end that easily huh...
Nepgear: What won't end?
Y/N: Nothing. Hold on tight.
The lights turned green and I began driving to the convenience store after putting the tab away.
After parking the bike at the parking lot, we walked around to grab a quick snack for replenishing our energy after the tiring work we did. Nepgear bought a few sweets and chocolates while I took an energy drink.
The payments were done and we were off to our next destination. But before that...
Little boy: Waaaaahhhhh!!!
As soon as we exited the store, on our right was a little boy crying, a woman presumably his mother who's trying to comfort him. Nepgear saw this and she walked towards the boy. She bent down to be on the same height as the boy.
Nepgear: What's wrong?
Little boy: <sniffle> Ice... Cream...
There was an ice cream cone on the floor beside the boy. The floor was tainted with brown smudges on the floor. I'm guessing it was chocolate flavoured.
Nepgear: No need to cry. Here. You can have my chocolates if it'll make you happy.
Little boy: ...Really?
Nepgear: Of course! Let me go get it.
I didn't wait for Nepgear to come walking to me for the chocolates so I walked to her before she could get up. The mother looked at us with a smile. I took the chocolates from the bag and gave it to Nepgear. Nepgear took it and showed it to the boy.
Nepgear: Here. It's all yours.
Little boy: Mom... Can I?
Mother: Sure. Thank you so much you two.
The boy took the chocolates and thanked the both of us.
Y/N: It's fine. But really it was just Nepgear. I didn't do anything.
Nepgear: That's not true!
Nepgear stood up a little angry at me. The mother just chuckled at us and said something I did not expect.
Mother: You two would make great parents. I hope the two of you will have a bright future.
Little boy: If mom says so then I'll agree too!
The both of our faces turned red as the both of them returned back to their home after bidding farewell. I tried to regain my composure by drinking the energy drink. Nepgear also avoided my gaze for as long as needed.
After another embarrassing and awkward moment, we went to take the bike and head somewhere. While bringing the bike for a drive, Nepgear tapped on my shoulder lightly.
Nepgear: Is that an amusement park?
She pointed to our left and what I saw was a Ferris wheel piercing the sky. Usually when there's a Ferris wheel, there's an amusement park. We've got nothing better to do so why not? I turned left after the lights turned green. I used ARC to help me out with the navigation and in no time at all, we've reached the amusement park.
It was nearly evening so we were kind of late. But it didn't stop us from trying things out like the bumper car and roller coasters. Just from her expression alone I can tell Nepgear is having the time of her life. I do wonder why was she so anxious at the start.
Finally, we decided to go on the Ferris wheel to rest up before going back. We paid the man and went inside the pink coloured capsule. The man closed the door while we took a seat resting from the quite tiring day. Nepgear took out her sweets and ate one.
Nepgear: Delicious~
She placed her hand on her cheek and it just looked cute. Nepgear looked at me and suddenly her expression changed to embarrassment.
Y/N: What's wrong?
Nepgear: N-Nothing!
Y/N: Okay...
I looked out the window and saw once more a beautiful sunset. Come to think of it, didn't Nepgear planned this date? I was busy dragging her around I forgot about it. I looked back at Nepgear to apologize.
Y/N: I'm sorry Nepgear.
Nepgear: It's okay. Wait, why are you apologizing?
Y/N: Uni told me you stayed up all night to plan this date. But it ended up in me dragging you here and there.
Nepgear: It's okay really. I think this is better than what I had planned initially.
I felt relieved when Nepgear had said that. The capsule slowly reached the top as we fell in silence until Nepgear brought up a topic.
Nepgear: Y/N, do you like Neptune?
Y/N: Of course. She's very cheerful and is a bit weird at times but that's her charms.
Nepgear: That's good to hear... It's obvious I'm not cut out for this.
Y/N: Cut out for what?
Nepgear: To be with you. To go on a date with you. I'm just a machine freak and have no experience in this whatsoever.
Y/N: That's what I like about you.
Nepgear: I'm also... Wait, you like me?!
Y/N: I think you're cute the way you are. You're very thoughtful, kind and your love for machines is a rare trait to see in girls. To be honest, I think I would prefer your type over those typical girls who takes hours in a single fashion shop.
Nepgear: Are you serious... Do you really like me?
I nod to her question.
Nepgear: It's my first time hearing that from a boy. I don't know what to say...
Y/N: No need to say anything. I don't need a reply. As long as you're here with me, I'm fine with that.
Nepgear: If you say it like that...
<Transform>
Nepgear(HDD): Then... It'll be wrong to keep secrets anymore.
Why in the name of Celestia did she transform?! I seriously do not know what to do. Nepgear also stood up giving me a full view of her body and Processor Unit.
Y/N: Umm... Nepgear, why did you transform?
Nepgear(HDD): Because-
Suddenly, the capsule came to a shaking stop which made Nepgear fall on me.
Nepgear(HDD): What happened?
Y/N: Maybe someone is boarding.
Nepgear looked up as I looked down. Our eyes met and it charmed me. The wheel continued and we were at the top. That didn't matter because all I could focus on was Nepgear. I gulped and just kept on staring at her.
Nepgear(HDD): If you stare at me like that... No, I need you to keep looking at me.
Y/N: (WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT LINE?!!)
Nepgear(HDD): I want you to see everything...
Y/N: (AHH!!! My brain can't handle this! Did I flip some sort of switch?!)
Nepgear(HDD): So warm...
Nepgear wraps her arms around me making her whole body push against my body. She's so warm... No, I need to keep my sanity intact.
Nepgear(HDD): What am I doing? I'm not worthy of this...
Nepgear pushed herself away from me slowly almost hesitating. There's a hint of sorrow on her expression. I have to man up. I wrapped my arms around her and brought her to a warm hug.
Y/N: Why are you belittling yourself?
Nepgear(HDD): It's just...
Y/N: You were the one who gave me the strength to fight against Mebius at Gamindustri. I would have drown in regret if it wasn't for you. So now it's my turn to give you strength.
I kissed her lightly on the lips. It lasted for a few seconds only. It wasn't heated or anything.
Y/N: Better?
Her face was bright red. Nepgear planted her face on my chest to hide her red face.
Nepgear(HDD): <muffling sound>
I released Nepgear from her suffocation and soon she said the words.
Nepgear(HDD): Thank you, Y/N. I want to be with you too. So don't leave my side, okay?
Y/N: Alright.
Timeskip (L/N Residence)
We went back normally after putting the bike back to its workshop. Nobody noticed Nepgear's sudden transformation so all was in the clear. Everything is back to normal. Neptune playing her games, Noire doing school work, Blanc reading her book, Vert attending to Luna, Nepgear and Uni is having a chat about the date, Rom and Ram playing in the playroom.
This the ending I wish for.
No...
The ending we all wish for.
The End: Chapter 17: Date (Nepgear)
This might be the final date you guys will have with your waifus. Maybe. I'm thinking of making another book once this book is done so I got two ideas;
Highschool DxD
Or
Hatsune Miku
Also this might be the final season for my Neptunia series unless some of you are not satisfied with the ending. (Which is clearly this chapter) Then I'll make a season 3. Depends on me really.
But that doesn't mean I'll stop making Neptunia stories. I might make other stories like maybe a Neptune X Male Reader.
What do you guys think? Hope to see you again someday, bye!
