( 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. ]

[LOUDLY SIGHING

both internally and externally.]

You're pretty helpless, aren't you?

[dereban]

I'm not helpless! I just... have a reason for not making friends.

[swordboning]

No, you are helpless and there's my proof. The only reason I'm calling you that is because you sit here and talk about the worst parts of yourself while uplifting someone else. All the while, you don't understand what a terrible person Emiya Shirou is.

[dereban]

And why exactly do you think that you're-- Emiya Shirou-- is a terrible person?

[swordboning]

Emiya has no sense of self. Regardless of how that future turns out, he is a walking dead man because no one who is living would go to such extremes while in complete disregard of himself.

[dereban]

[ ... ]

You're an idiot. [ She says that aloud, in the most annoyed tone. ] If he's like that, it's probably because of trauma, right? That can be fixed.

[swordboning]

Maybe if caught early enough. But it's already too late for that.

[dereban]

And why do you think that?

[swordboning]

Put a little thought into it. Do you still expect to meet him and change his life while I'm around? That's a future that has probably been shattered.

[dereban]

I'll do it. I'll do it, even if you're here. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?

[swordboning]

Real life is an eroge and you're going the harem route then?

[He just has the dumbest smirk right now.]

[dereban]

Clearly- [ Yeah for that Archer you are gonna get a smack in the head. ] no. I can still help him regardless. I'm not that much of an asshole to just ignore someone who's doing something suicidal.

[swordboning]

Tch.

[Just that noise when he gets hit.]

It has nothing to do with suicide, idiot.

[dereban]

No, but you make it sound like he's on a suicidal mission. A person who puts themselves below others is like that. They have no ego of their own due to trauma so they help others to subconsciously fill that gap because that's all they can do. I'm not a complete idiot, Archer.

Besides, he still has that chance to change because the problem is based on trauma rather than it being a part of themselves to begin with. I'm not saying it's bad to help others, but if it's to certain extreme, then... Well, I can at least try helping. There has to be a way. The future is not set in stone. I won't allow it.

[swordboning]

Whatever you want. I'm not going to stop you from doing things on your own time.

[He really didn't care much about what Shirou did anyway, to be fair. The kid had to plot his own course, that's what Archer had learned.]

[dereban]

As long as you understand. Anyway, I think it was your turn to ask something, Archer.

[swordboning]

[It was time for something more conventionally embarrassing in his jaded way.]

How did someone like you get to be as cute as you are?

[Nailed it.]

[dereban]

I, idiot! I'm not that cute.. or rather, I can't tell if that's an insult or a compliment.

[swordboning]

You can take it however you like. But it's still a valid question from someone who is attracted to you.

[dereban]

[ There's a low rumble from her throat, just a groan that manages to escape her as her eyes narrow at him suspiciously, picking up her chopsticks and deciding to go back to eating. ]

Well, to answer your question, I don't know. I'm just acting natural and I was born this way. Give me another question.

[swordboning]

I think it was a good enough question. [He learned something.] Your turn.

[dereban]

[ Archer, you're horrible. ]

Fine. Why exactly did you learn to do all the household chores?

[swordboning]

....when I was younger, I always felt that if I'm helping someone even a little bit, it was worth it. So I taught myself how to do anything that involves work.

[dereban]

That's... kind of cute, actually. [ Admittedly. ]

[swordboning]

That's a bold statement. And probably wrong.
