Hey everyone! I just got back into writing after writing a book, so see next chapter for it's official announcement! I just watched Fate/Zero, and OMG! Awesome! I loved how Gilgamesh and Saber were portrayed in this, I honestly didn't have much expectation for this after being scarred by Fate/Stay Night anime, oh so long ago. Anyways, after I watched the anime, I thought to myself: wow, Saber and Gilgamesh would be so hot together. So this is my first attempted at this series with my favorite pairing. This might be slightly confusing to some, so leave questions and I will answer. So read, enjoy, review!

Gilgamesh was a prideful man, so prideful that he would undergo torture before lowering himself to mercy, even to the most sadistic captors. But every armory had its flaws, and every defense could be penetrated, he had discovered twenty some years ago, that he was no different. Twenty years had passed since the last Holy Grail War, the wretched object had been destroyed, hence permanently ending the games. But it was strange, he had not been transported back to his time or another earth realm, he was in someplace completely new, but that wasn't the strangest thing. He was from a prestigious family in this world, and was definitely the most wealthiest. He was amused that even in unfamiliar worlds, they bowed down before his presence. He even somehow had the knowledge to run the business empire his 'parents' had, and inherited them once they passed on; his reign would be a successful one for a long time to come. But that wasn't the only strange anomaly this world provided him, he had been incarnated as a teenager into this rich family, but had someone very dear to him at his side.
"Gilgamesh? What's wrong?" Turning from the windowsill, he saw his most precious possession, as well as the only person who was allowed to possess him in anyway. While he himself was shirtless and in silken pajama bottoms, his queen, his goddess, his Saber, was a much more beguiling sight. Her hair was down, and she wore one of his shirts, exposing her long legs on this warm knight, but that wasn't the only thing that Gilgamesh was observing. Two small children (about 5 or 6) lay beside her, tucked up and asleep; a boy and a girl, both had blonde hair like their parents. The boy received his mother's eyes, while his daughter received her father's. They had bad dreams, and had crawled into the king-sized bed of their parents. Gilgamesh had been up ever since, switching between watching the night and his family.
A smile formed, and he walked back over to the bed. "Nothing my queen, go back to sleep." He gingerly stroked her cheek, and pressed a soft, but passionate kiss. Even to reassure her, but enough to let her know that he wanted something else at the moment. This was fueled, when he pushed her back towards the bed, and he attempted to crawl on top of her. She quickly pushed him off, but still had a smile on, but frowned when she saw the panicked look in her husband's eyes.
"Did you have that dream again, about the Holy Grail War?" Saber carefully moved to sit beside him, not wanting to rouse their small children.
Gilgamesh had to bite back his emotions before facing her, but he nodded in confirmation. Even though he had his memories of the wars, he quickly discovered that Saber (as well as anyone else who followed him into this world), did not. He had met her in this life about eight years ago, but she was a maid in his manor, the situation couldn't be more perfect, only…she had no recollection of him or the Grail war. She leaned her head against him and whispered softly, "Do not give these dreams any power; you know I will not leave you."
"I know." He petted her hair, knowing that in this world, her words were true.
Gilgamesh pinned her to the wall, and greedily captured her lips, and he was delighted to see that she responded. Pulling away from her, he smirked at her. "Ho? Finally submitting yourself to me, my queen?"
"Master? What are you talking about?" Saber's words meant no harm, but they pierced him like her Excalibur. That was when he noticed it, she had made no move to remove or resist him, and had pretty much submitted to his mercy the second he demanded it. That was not HIS Saber, this wasn't her. He released her, and stepped away. This action confused her. "Master?"
"You don't remember me?" His breath hitched.
"What are talking about Master? I have known you since you were a child." She answered as if it were natural. "We grew up together, as I was your assigned playmate."
Garnering himself, he managed to ask: "Are we close?"
Frowning, she answered: "I wouldn't say we're close, but we don't hate each other either."
"Why do you not find my questions or actions strange?" She was acting way too calm for this.
"I am Arturia Saber Pendragon, servant to the Einkish family. I am yours to play with as you wish." She stated firmly.
"And you're okay with it?" Gilgamesh turned away, this wasn't the Saber he wanted.
"Of course. Anything for a proper king." She mock-bowed to him, smiling at his astonished face.
That had been when he first met her in this world, and after a year or two, he finally got used to the idea of Saber being his servant, but it wasn't until he saw her with a business client at one of his parents' lavish parties that he realized he fell in love with her again.
SLAP! Gilgamesh stared at the sight before him, there stood Diarmuid Lancer, with spilled champagne and food shoved in his face. The golden man had only wandered into the mansion to get away from the party, but here he witnessed this Saber get harassed by this Lancer. Even though he didn't love this world's Saber, the sight of Lancer on her, still pissed him off. He was about to intervene, until his former beloved spoke.
"You have no right to enforce your one-sided feelings on me, I am a proud servant of the Einkish family, and I will not leave this family's side to be with another!" Saber shouted. "How dare you lay your hands on me!"
He had promptly scared the other man off after that moment, because after he saw that, he knew his Saber was still there. She was just raised differently, and therefore became the perfect servant, not the perfect warrior. After that, he had once again proclaimed his love to her, but while she didn't reject his advances, he knew it was only because of her loyalty to his family. So he told her: 'You are the only one suited to be my queen.'
Of course she rejected his words, believing them to be impossible, but after a year they started a relationship, and had their children exactly one year later. They had married six months after they stared, it was a very fast, passionate, and frightening love to him. He didn't want to waste this chance; he had no idea how long this world would last, or if she would remember him in the next one, or she would even appear. So he took his chance to be with her quickly, and would hold onto her as long as possible.
He pulled her into his lap, and stared at her tenderly. "You should know that while I se everything in this world as my possession, you are the sole person that can turn me into one."
"And our children." She added.
"Ah. They'll inherit the world from you and then me, but only when they prove themselves to be ready." Saber smiled at her husband; despite how strict he was with his children's studies, he never hesitated to play or spoil them either. In fact, Saber often had to monitor her daughter's manipulation tactics on her father, to insure that she wouldn't become spoiled. Despite how cold he appeared to general public, Saber knew her husband to be a kind and loyal man, would annihilate any threat to her and their children. But whenever her husband mentioned these horrific dreams, she knew that he needed her for the comfort. She blinked when Gilgamesh kissed her forehead, even after five years of marriage, they still managed to surprise each other.
"You're a good father and husband, whatever that world you experienced was, it's gone now, so rest assured that I am here to stay beside you." She reached up to his chin, and raised herself up to kiss him. Gilgamesh obediently responded to the kiss, and soon the kiss turned from sweet to ravenous. Pushing him back slightly, Saber glared. "Not now, in the morning…" She gestured to the two children sleeping in their bed.
"Then let's take this to the couch…" Once or twice he had managed to persuade his wife even with his children nearby, but he slept on the couch for a few nights in punishment normally. So to turn the couch into something happy, he had made it one of their designated make-love areas.
"Do that, and I'll make you sleep on the balcony." Saber said half-serious; she DID NOT want to have the origin of babies conversation with their children. Too many times she had to make up ghost stories about the mansion being haunted, to explain the loud moans and screams. Which is what lead to occurrences like this: them having nightmares about ghosts or other lovely things, which caused them hiding between their parents. It was funny the first few times, night like this- not so much.
"Then…let me tuck you in." Blinking at the request, Saber suddenly felt herself being place beside the snoozing children, and found her head in Gilgamesh's bare chest. She blushed beet red, even now, she had trouble letting her guard down whenever he performed these acts of chivalry. "Go to sleep, let me savor this moment right now."
Sighing in defeat, she knew that he'd follow soon after if she complied. "Have a good sleep…" She smiled in delight as her son rolled over onto her side, cuddling into her stomach. Saber closed her eyes, allowing herself to fall asleep once again.
Gilgamesh stared down at his family and couldn't help but compare Saber to a lioness sleeping with her cubs; this was his pride, and this was his family. His mate and offspring lay in bed next to him, trusting him to keep them safe. It was true, at this point, Gilgamesh had no idea if the Holy Grail wars were real, or if they had been some terrible dream, but either way…his wife, his queen, along with their children was now his reality. And heaven or hell be damned if they tried to take them from him.
Review please! Leave enough reviews and show interest in my book, I may write a lemon. Seriously, there need to be more fics of this pairing! I'm tempted to write a lemon, but I need the motivation to do so. So review or PM me if any concerns or questions, later!
