[ It's strange... Any time he was faced with imminent danger, he could already tell when he was in a do or die predicament. He could feel his soul threatening to leave his body knowing that with just one wrong slip, he was going to die. The number of times he faced this very same dread and survived during Fuyuki's Holy Grail War were staggering. The amount of times he's bled, been broken and stitched back together... So having an awoken dragon on his tail should have clearly been a sign. The alarm bells should have been going off.

But when she bursts through the door and tracks him down still in the living room, having only just gotten up from the couch...

He swallows, for sure. His eyes are wide, for sure. He knows that he's in danger, for sure.

Yet he doesn't feel that sense of dread that was so familiar to him before. With her blackened Excalibur pointed directly at him, unarmed and defenceless, the look he fixes her with after the faux fear ebbs away? Is a look of disbelief, and a furrowing brow. ]


...

[ And so. Plainly. Simply. ]

You didn't get enough, Saber.

[ Yeah, the heart might not change, but the Emiya Shirou who got flung across reality and time to this Shinjuku has. ]
traceon: (eep)

[personal profile] traceon 2023-12-31 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ He senses that he's made a mistake. Has he made a mistake— ]

O-Oi, wait a sec— Gah!

[ She's strong. Very strong. But that's no surprise to him. Yet he's helpless as he's practically ragdolled back onto the couch, the force in which he's yeeted causing the sofa to protest on its tiny support feet. Grunting as he sits upright, prepared to bark back at his Servant, ]

Look, Saber, I'm s—

[ FWUMP. Her boot makes solid contact alright. Any higher and he'd be wishing she'd bad ended him instead. He's trapped. In this precarious position, the redheaded mage was left to stare at the boot between his legs, keeping them spread as his eyes follow the length of her soft, smooth leg...

"Clearly, your own sense of discipline is lacking."

By the time he's looking up at her, hands at his sides gripping into the cushioning, he finds himself staring into her golden gaze, swallowing a nervous lump in his throat. He really did it this time. It's...not exactly how he thought 'summoning' her was going to go, but.

Looks like audacity is deceivingly effective. ]


T-Too close. Too close.

[ What. Her face in his? The boot keeping him nice and spread? Option C.? ]

[ TOO BOLD FOR HIS BRITCHES?? Shirou knows deep down she's not just using him for his body when it comes to her other "appetite", but how can he not look?! Even by peripheral... Then again, despite who wears the tight leather booty shorts in this relationship, it's only a matter of time before Shirou's switch gets flipped.

Until then? He's going to scoot just a tad and sit more upright, more flush against the back of the couch to delay the inevitable prolong her foot pressing somewhere it ought shouldn't. ]


Okay, okay, you win! You win, Saber! All your resolutions are important.

[ ... How bad is it that the worst one he swallows his pride on is accepting she must consume more chipotle. ]
traceon: (not too impressed)

[personal profile] traceon 2024-01-02 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Despite crumbling far too easily, he's still going to keep some of that bark in him. The time for biting's gone. For now. His brow furrows when she retracts her boot. ]

Next time I won't go down so easy.

[ Think that's the whole point, Shirou. 🍆

It's like how he promised to get better and better against...somebody he used to know. Even if he failed and got knocked down every single time. The back-and-forth he has with Alter, however, is different. ]


Eh?
traceon: (you say something?)

[personal profile] traceon 2024-01-02 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Truth be told, when Shirou first arrived in Shinjuku, it was a bit of a shock. His saving grace for survival before he formed a new contract with Saber here, was that he still had practiced access to his Reality Marble. While he hasn't had to attempt to overwrite the world with fields of wrought iron, he could fight. He could survive. And...when they weren't fighting killer robots or hungry chimeras, his outlook on a few things had begun changing too.

Suffice to say, he certainly hasn't gotten desensitized to all the sex and blackened twists and turns their lives have taken here... He's gotten used to it. Just. He has to put up somewhat of a fight!

Right? ]


...

[ Shirou relaxes back into his seat with a sigh, amber gaze looking up to her fierce golden hue. If she'd mentioned food first, he'd have either ordered in chipotle or made his own version for her. But then... ]

I really wound you up, didn't I, Saber?

[ They're both a little wound up, aren't they. ... Spreeeads legs a little. Peace offering. ]
traceon: (...really?)

[personal profile] traceon 2024-01-02 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Shirou has to steel down his nerves one more time when she leans forward, hands bracing the couch cushions. She's boxed him back in again, their eyes meeting. ...even if in his peripheral, his brain has a miniature frazzling moment having her bent over the way she was, her modest bust hanging beneath her black top.

"Go on, then,"

Back to her gaze. She's calm as always. There's no love involved. Not on the surface. Though Shirou is confident enough to call her his friend and ally...she's awoken something in him that he didn't think suitable to chase. Not if he was to uphold his own ideals. But then...those very ideals were on hold, now weren't they? What they have is unique. But at its core... ]


Ah. [ This is downright carnal. ] I'm better at showing.

[ His larger hands cover over hers, pressing them into the cushioning as he cants his head, leaning up to seal her lips with a kiss. He came to learn real quick that a taste wasn't enough. Chaste wasn't enough. So when he kisses her again, he kisses her hard, lips sweeping against hers as he closes his eyes. Shirou keeps tabs on the movement of Saber's hand beneath his, when to move them out of the way or not.

The truth is? Shirou hasn't told a single lie since they started texting each other earlier. Her resolutions being important. How she didn't get enough... ]
