( closed ) always expect the unexpected

[dereban]

[ This was not as planned. Definitely not as planned. That much was evident — especially since she had not been planning on summoning an actual person. All she did, really, was read a rumor on the 2ch boards (she knew that she shouldn't have trusted it, but her curiosity got the better of her) that she would be able to summon up her courage to confess and that it would have an immediate effect. And that effect was a definite yes from the person she liked. (Whose name was Emiya Shirou, someone who went to the same school as she did and was in the same year, but, well, didn't know her very well since they weren't in the same class.)

Inaba was not good with her feelings at all, especially not when it came to feelings of love.

She closed herself up, and kept to herself most of the time. Which was why she decided to give it a try, regardless of the fact that it probably wouldn't work. It was a simple task: all she had to do was draw a magic circle around her room and place her fingers between her legs, curiously, as she let out a heated sigh-- but then she saw the glow and then someone appeared. In her room.

While she was barely wearing anything (she was just in her lingerie, a lace black bra and underwear), staring at the intruder with dead eyes.

This was definitely not as planned.

And now she's been completely humiliated that she was seen masturbating by some... some stranger. ]

[Yes, he is suffering under pillow beatings.]

Will you cut that out, idiot.

[Don't steal his favorite insult either.]

[dereban]

Nope. [ She says this with the biggest shit eating grin, holding the pillow away from his face for a bit, still slightly raised but her head is peeking next to said pillow. ]

You called me your Master earlier, so I clearly don't have to listen to what you have to say if you're being so condescending, Archer.

[swordboning]

No, you don't have to. But I still reserve the right to think you enjoy handing out abuse.

[Probably true, to be honest. And yes, he's looking a bit smug too.]

[dereban]

[ Okay, fine. She's throwing that pillow at his face this time without saying a thing, just knitting her brow together as her cheeks redden and pouting at him. ]

... Idiot.

[swordboning]

[It's the typical scene where it hits his face and then slides down.

To top it off, he gives his patented smile, sigh, headshake combo.]

[dereban]

I can't believe you actually just took that, Archer. [ Or rather, he totally could have dodged it, right? ]

[swordboning]

It was either take it and leave you satisfied or to dodge and just anger you more. Which would result it more problems.

What to do seemed pretty obvious.

[dereban]

... Oh, you're not that stupid after all. [ Is she being genuine on condescending? It's hard to tell.


There's a lengthy pause, and then, ]

So, what now?

[swordboning]

Whatever you want. A movie? Dinner? Your hair brushed? As you said, you're the Master.

[dereban]

T-Then...

[ Well, he did say whatever she wanted, so she leans in close, pouting a bit. ]

I want what I said earlier. I-I want you to kiss me. [ She can feel her face reddening as she says that. ]

[swordboning]

Fine, I'll do that.

[He leans forward and uses a hand to brush her center bang to the side.]

I'm guessing you mean now.

[dereban]

O-Of course I mean now! Why would I say it if I didn't... mean... now.

[ She's a bit flustered by this whole ordeal. If only because well, she's never really dealt with relationships or love or anything of this nature. ]

[swordboning]

[Rather than keep her stuttering and flustered, he decided to just go for it. He finished leaning in and pressed his lips against hers about as well as he could, considering her actions. He held it long enough for her to actually get acquainted with the feeling before pulling back, waiting for a reaction.]

[dereban]

[ She can hear her heart thumping loudly in her chest when his lips grace her own, pressing her palms against the couch as she leans against it before he pulls back, her blush deepening as the heat rises up in her entire body. She doesn't say a single word, instead just bringing her hands towards her lips in realization that he actually kissed her and all that manages to elicit is... well... an embarrassed, high pitched screech.

Um. Please hold. ]

... A-ah. [ Yeah, she can't even speak coherently right now as she tries to hide how flustered she is right now. ] You really did it.

[swordboning]

I did.

[At least he can relax while she recovers.]

Was that good enough for you?

[dereban]

[ She's recovering, alright. By looking away from him as she clears her throat, trying to make a snappy comment. ]

7.8 out of ten. [ Referencing memes, even now. ] It felt... nice.

[ Her heart continues to pound loudly in her ears as she tries to speak calmly, but to no avail. ] What... about you, Archer? It wasn't bad, [ She still feels awkward, ] was it?

[swordboning]

I don't kiss and tell.

[Archer doesn't know memes. But he does know to keep his mouth shut about that kind of thing. If Inaba wanted to impress him, she'd have to try harder.]

[dereban]

... Don't be rude about it, stupid!

[ Furrowing her brow at his words, she decides that the best course of action is to get back at him with such ferocity that he can't argue back. Fire lighting up in her eyes, she decides to fight back with her actions, grabbing him by the collar as she forced her lips on his, lightly tracing her tongue on his own as she does so.

Because she won't take Archer's taunting lightly. ]

[swordboning]

[That came as a surprise but one couldn't call Archer unadaptable.

If that's what she wanted, he put his arms around her and pulled her close. Why he felt such an affection for her, he couldn't tell. But, for now, he'd let her have her way while making her feel welcome.]

[dereban]

[ Feeling calmer in his arms, her eyelids closed slightly as she relaxed in his touch, wanting to take more of him. He soothed her, somehow, regardless of how prude he spoke at times, but she didn't mind in the slightest.

It just felt... right, somehow.

And she didn't want to let go. ]

[swordboning]

[Considering their size difference, he could probably just envelop her. He didn't, but her certainly didn't release his gentle grip on her. It was easy to tell when someone was being comforted, for whatever problem or another. Her problem being that she was probably expressing herself properly and was still trying to get a handle on it.

He didn't stop to interrupt the embrace but he did pull his head back enough to break their kiss, before leaning forward again so his forehead was pressed against hers.]

[dereban]

You're an idiot, you know that?

[ Her words come out half-heartedly as she gently reciprocated the gesture, pressing gently against him with a small smile, her blush spreading slowly through her features. It's strange, feeling this calm; it was almost as if all her worries were washed away. ]

[swordboning]

It takes one to know one, as they say.

[He was willing to give them in kind. Though they lacked the usual sharpness he'd usually deliver them with. He was pleased that, for once, he was able to do right by someone. Especially someone he felt particularly invested in emotionally.]

[dereban]

Hmph.

[ Tossing her hair with a huff, she pulls away from him with puffed cheeks, only ever so slightly annoyed by his answer, even if he isn't serious about it. That's just the way he is, she figured. But it's not bad.

As her hazel brown eyes blinked up at him, meeting his own silver pair, she couldn't help but grow curious. She didn't know much about him after all... was it right to feel this way for someone you barely even knew? Or was that a good thing..? His past didn't seem to be a pleasant one; he was probably worse off than she was, and she was a normal person.

Her curiosity gets the best of her when she asks, ]

Hey, Archer. Shirou... does he know about you? [ Worry meets her features, she's slightly scared that he might meet the same fate... what did he say again? Having dealt with horrible things for an eternity? She doesn't like that. But she assumes he doesn't know. Why would the younger Shirou know-? It's not like he was summoned before, was he?


Then she shakes her head, frustrated. ]

Actually, that was stupid of me to ask. Forget it, don't answer that.

[swordboning]

...I'll answer it either way.

[It wasn't a bad question, technically. And Archer has mostly gotten over himself and his past, thanks to previous actions.

And, there was the final reason. She obviously wanted to know. Even if her words said otherwise.]

This Shirou probably doesn't know. He may not even suffer the same fate. Timelines diverge too much to give an honest answer.

[And that was fact. Though this one could have been the one that spawned Archer as an existence. Perhaps, perhaps not. He was beyond worrying about that.]
