call me out!

With the return of my laptop, it's about time to go on ahead and throw up a new call me out post, now with new, fresh coding! Of course, I'll still be utilizing my old post, but this one is just a special self indulgent one for the most part to get back into the swing of things.

Basically, you guys know the drill by now: pick a character that's available on my muselist and either throw up a top level or bully me to make you one. Either one works. I just want to get my feet wet and start playing with everyone again after two weeks of being stuck on mobile phone tagging, so here we go.

As far as my interests go, I'm a huge fan of shipping and smut, but we don't have to have things go in that direction! And if you want to do smut, I do ask that you warn for it at least, even though I'm 100% down for it. In terms of genre, I'm good with most things from memory loss to bad end AUs to fluffy scenarios. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me here, PM me, or hit me up at

endlesseight!

[Her head lifts again as he speaks, and she can tell what he's trying to say. Sakura wants to dismiss his worries - this is embarrassing but she doesn't mind, and she'd forgive him even if she did. It's not the worst thing in the world. But she doesn't get a chance to, because... she sees him in the water, making those bubbles, and-

Sakura has to look away again, smile tugging at her lips, giggle stifled in her throat. She shouldn't think of him that way when he's older, but... That's a cute look for him. Maybe it's fortunate she ended up in this situation after all, if she got to see tha-

"I don't mind if it's you, Sakura."

Her knuckles clench tightly around the towel as she stares at him. She isn't dreaming, is she? To hear him say that, to say something that feels like it's reaching directly to her heart and filling it with warmth - how can he say something like that so easily?]

Senpai... I...

[Doesn't he realize that if he says something like that, she won't be able to contain her heart?

~~he's never seen. but she could never quite hold that against him.~~]

In that case... I'll be joining you, then. Please excuse me...

[It feels like she's in a dream as she slowly walks over to the edge of the water. Distantly, she's aware that her heart is racing, but it feels like it must be happening to someone else.

This is not her everyday life, she thinks, as she dips her feet into the hot water with a sigh. This is not her normal, where she looks at her Senpai longingly from afar, always knowing she can never be close the way she wants to; that it will never be her right or privilege.

And yet, here is Emiya Shirou inviting her closer. And here is Matou Sakura, accepting it with a guilty and fragile hope.

Keeping her front turned towards the edge as promised, she slides the towel from her shoulders. It really is... like a dream... A shiver goes through her that has less to do with cold and more with nerves, folding the towel so she can place it on the rock. Wondering if ~~hoping that~~ Shirou is looking.

...What a bad girl she is.]

Is... [She swallows. Her throat is tighter than she expected.] Is this alright, Senpai?

[ Fortunately - or is it unfortunate? - for Sakura, he doesn't realize the consequences of putting his proverbial foot in his mouth by saying those words. Hearing her say that she'll be joining him, however, makes things seem almost unreal, distant. Not to mention that it forces him to swallow hard, an amber gaze flitting away from her own beautiful violet eyes.

While he wants to look at her, he feels that if he does, he'll have lost something precious.

He doesn't answer her at first, but soon enough he nods, quiet. But he realizes that maybe she isn't looking at him, just like he's not looking at her, so he gives a verbal response. ]

Y... yeah, it's fine, Sakura. Don't worry about me too much.

I'm always worried about you, Senpai.

[She doesn't mean to say it, or at least not that honestly. Her fingers dig into the stone a bit, and surely it must be the lovely warmth of the water that's loosened her tongue that much...

Sakura sighs a little, then folds her arms over the edge to rest on. There's a bad part of her, still, that wonders what he would do if she turned around... But she focuses her mind away from that, zeroing in instead on the way the heat feels like it's seeping into her bones. She isn't sure if her body has ever felt this relaxed before.]

...It feels really wonderful, though. Thank you for letting me join you.

....Eh?

[ Her words seem to genuinely surprise him in several ways. He's never heard her say that to him so openly and he's not sure how he's supposed to respond to that. So he just.

Winds up staring at her, cheeks genuinely flushed and his mouth wide open, looking a little dumb. ]

Y-You're welcome, Sakura. [ Just let him sink in further because now he's embarrassed. ] Can I... get a little closer?

Ah- [She doesn't quite know what kind of sound she intended to make, but Sakura is faintly sure it wasn't that. Nor is it the squeak that follows.] Eh?

[~~MAYDAY MAYDAY MATOU SAKURA THIS IS NOT A DRILL~~

She takes in a breath and it shakes as she exhales. She breathes in once more, and that one is a lot steadier.

She can do this.]

I-If... If that's what Senpai wants, then... [Sakura swallows, and tries to feel less like she's about to vibrate out of her own skin.] ...Then of course it's okay. Please feel free... to get as close as you'd like.

...

[ That definitely was not the sound that he expected from her in the slightest bit when he anticipated her reply, but it's not one that unwanted in the slightest bit. However, it does make him feel a little embarrassed as he scratches the side of his cheek, amber eyes shifting a little. He doesn't know where he should look. ]

Then... excuse me.

[ He tries his best to be polite as he scoots himself close enough so that he's just right next to her. He tries his best. ]

Um, Sakura? [ How does he start a conversation. He doesn't know what he should say. ] I...

[ You what, Emiya Shirou? ]

Is there anything you want to talk about?

[ Nailed it. ]

[Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh she's going to die, this is too much-

Even if that thought is one the sillier side, it's still true. It's true, because... he's so close. He's right next to her and she can barely stand it, she-

She's... wanted this... for so long...

Sakura could reach over and touch him if she wanted to. She could, couldn't she? Make up some offhand excuse for it and just-

Do whatever she wants to him.

...But no. No, she has to stop that. Whatever it is that's making her thoughts looser, she has to stop. That isn't allowed. Instead she swallows hard and thinks. He asked her a question, whether she wanted to talk about anything. So she should... try.]

There wasn't anything in particular, but... It's really beautiful here, you know? [She lets it slip into the air in a soft tone, mixed in with just a hint of wistfulness and longing.] If you didn't have anything planned, we could go walk around the mountains! We could... [Something shifts in her voice as she says it, unreadable, but there's a drop in her cheer if he's listening out for it.] We could go together... with Tohsaka-senpai and everyone else...

[Wouldn't that be nice?]

[To be honest, if she did whatever she wanted, he honestly wouldn't mind in the slightest bit. Maybe it's his selfless side at play there or perhaps it's something else entirely different at play here, he wasn't sure of.

But he almost can't help himself when he glances at her for a second but he has to force his gaze away from hers so he doesn't fall into the trap that is thinking of indecent thoughts.

So he forces himself to straighten up, staring at the sky.]

Yeah, it really is. You can even see the night sky really clearly here, you know?

[But when he hears that subtle shift in her voice, he can't help but look at her directly in the eyes, looking a little surprised.]

Did you want to, Sakura? I wouldn't mind if we went with Tohsaka and the others. I mean... if you want to, anyway.

[No. As much as there's a part of her that longs for her sister, she doesn't want to go with Nee-san at all. Or anybody else. She wants it to be her and him - and only them.

Pick me... And only me. Pick me!

Because she's bad. Because she's selfish. Because she doesn't know how to stop wanting things that will never, ever be hers.]

It would probably... be a waste if we didn't take advantage of it while we can, right? [Her voice isn't steady. That's bad, and Sakura swallows to try and smooth it out.] We might not get another chance like this. And it would be nice to go with everyone, but also...

[Wait. No. What is she doing. She can't actually say it.]

...I think I'd like it a lot if it were just you and I, Senpai.

[She can't just say that...!]
