Nanoha is a very caring and affectionate person all around, and she loves a good many people like Hayate, Subaru and Vita... but it pales in comparison to how she feels about Fate (and Vivio, but that's neither here nor there). Fate is so many things to Nanoha - she's her best friend, she's her faithful partner in combat, she's her confidant and her loving girlfriend. Nanoha can't imagine life without Fate in it - if there was ever a clear example of "soul mates," it would be these two.
She loves Fate with all of her heart. She loves teasing her, she loves being with her intimately, she loves even spending time in the same room with Fate and doing/saying nothing just for her company. Cuddling beneath the covers with Fate as she drifts off may be her favorite thing in the world.
She's protective of Fate, to a degree. It's not as much as she is protective of Vivio; she knows that Fate is strong and can take care of herself, and on some level knows that Fate's job is a dangerous one and that she can't do it if Nanoha is hovering. But that doesn't mean she doesn't worry about Fate's safety and wouldn't take a bullet for her any time of any day if she could. Nanoha knows she's hypocritical in this, because Fate's own protective nature can feel overbearing sometimes (even if she knows that it's only out of love)... so she TRIES to stand back and let Fate do what she thinks is best, but there's always that inner urge.
But in the end, Fate means the world to Nanoha. She wants to be by her side until they're old and gray together; nothing could possibly make her happier.
