What shall I do now?
The question rattled around Archer's brain as he idly wiped away a bit of the mud that was still clinging to his naked body. Falling into the Grail's filth had been a complete mistake and yet the results were so oddly beautiful. He had never felt so free in his life and it felt like the future was full of glorious possibilities.
The first thing I should do is get out of here. Archer was moving before he even finished the thought. Right now, everyone surely thought he was dead. Saber's Excalibur had obliterated the Grail and it should have killed him as well. That he'd escaped was a small miracle. Sensing a powerful battle, Archer decided to see what was happening.
The battle was over when he arrived but Shirou was on the ground, trying to staunch the bleeding from his severed arm. Archer watched from the shadows, his eyes cold as Shirou attempted to make a tourniquet from his belt. He was rapidly losing consciousness and slumped over, blood still gushing. Hm.
Moving on impulse – he liked the idea of doing things impulsively, he'd never done that before – Archer went to Shirou's side. Gripping the belt, he pulled it tight until the bleeding slowed and stopped. Checking Shirou's vitals he found the boy was still breathing and had a pulse, albeit a weak one. Archer glanced up at the sky. It was a pleasant summer night and there were no clouds, it was unlikely Shirou would die of exposure. Pulling himself to his feet he left the boy there. Shirou could take care of himself.
Why didn't I kill him? Archer asked himself before answering himself. There's no real need to. He is meaningless now. Shirou couldn't stop him. No one could stop him. But what did he want to do? Archer laughed as he ran. The irony, that having endless choices made it so hard to decide!
Again putting aside the decision, he went back to the Tohsaka manor. He really needed to clean himself off. Going to the bathroom he neatly stripped down before stepping into the shower. The hot water felt so good on his skin and Archer revelled in the hedonistic pleasure. Ah, pleasure. That was something he should indulge in, as much as possible.
Leaving the shower Archer toweled himself off. As he was doing that, though, he happened to glance into the mist-fogged mirror. Thunderstruck, he slowly lowered the mirror and stared at his reflection.
His body was decorated with patterns of red. Utterly chaotic, they had no rhyme or reason and seemed to shift even as he watched. They did not touch Archer's face much, but they did trail up from his neck onto his jawline, and then a little onto his cheeks. Stretching out an arm, Archer looked at the patterns there. Glorious red, alive and glowing with power.
"It's beautiful," Archer whispered before looking at himself in the mirror again. His eyes were different too. No longer a boring brown they were a rich, lustrous gold. "I'm beautiful." No, handsome, he was handsome. Archer felt a laugh bubbling up and let it out, rich and resonant. Then he smiled at his reflection before concentrating.
As he willed it, the lines vanished and Archer looked at his arm again, vaguely disappointed. They were so beautiful and yet, they didn't really look like tattoos. It was better to go without. As for his eyes… Archer stared into the mirror and watched them fade to honey brown. He could let that go later but for now, he needed to look like himself.
Leaving the bathroom behind, Archer went to get dressed. Hmm, should he just wear his uniform again? No. His casual clothes? So boring, nothing but charcoal. Yet, he didn't have anything else.
"I need a wardrobe upgrade," Archer muttered as he changed into his casual clothing. "I want to wear interesting things. I want to wear colors." White and red? Hell yes. Black and red? Hell yes. Green? Yes! Orange? Yes! Pink… okay. There were limits. No pink. "No yellow either." Archer muttered, looking in the mirror. He thought yellow made his skin sallow and brought out the yellow in his eyes. Not a great look. "I want jewelry," Archer said decisively. He wanted to get his ears pierced and put in little ruby studs. "Why the hell didn't I do anything like this before?" Archer wondered aloud. Although he knew why. He just hadn't given a shit. His whole uniform had been designed and given to him by someone else. The red coat? A gift. If he'd been dressing himself he'd have been wearing nothing but combat fatigues or possibly butt naked.
Chuckling at the thought, Archer went to the kitchen and began to prepare supper. A stir-fry? Yes, they had the chicken. Soon the kitchen was full of delicious smells and he was just plating the chicken when Rin dragged herself through the door.
"…Archer…?" Tohsaka's eyes were wide as he smiled at her, putting the bowl of chicken stir-fry down on an ornamental trivet. "You're… still…?"
"Of course. Would I ever leave my master?" Archer said flippantly and Rin suddenly sobbed. His arms were suddenly filled with sobbing girl and Archer's smile became fond as he looked at that dark hair. Ah, yes, he knew what he wanted. Rin was the first thing Archer would take and oddly enough, he would do it out of love.
I was such a fool, thinking I was sparing her by not confessing my feelings, Archer mused as he held and gently soothed the distraught magus in his arms. Yes, I could only be with her a short time but what kind of logic was that? He should deny himself pleasure to spare himself future pain? Spare Rin future pain? From the look of what was happening now, that would have been a miserable failure. What a fool he had been!
"I don't understand how you're here but I'm glad. I'm so glad," Rin finally mumbled and Archer smiled as he gently drew her face up from his chest. Then, he kissed her. Her eyes went wide but she didn't pull away. No, Rin leaned into it and her lips were alive and warm against his. Archer savored every moment of it.
Then Rin slapped him.
"Archer!" she was blushing furiously and Archer grinned, enjoying the sting on his cheek. "You don't just kiss a girl like that! You stole my first kiss!" Oh really? Not that he was surprised, actually.
"I want to have more firsts from you, Rin," Archer said, his voice warm and velvety as he applied all of his charisma. It was A ranked now, thanks to the Grail. He gently touched her cheek as Rin stared at him wide-eyed. "Unless my master wants me to go?"
"I – no of course not! Archer, what are you saying?" Rin asked and Archer smiled. She was looking so adorably frustrated.
"If you want me to stay, Rin, we must rebind your mage circuits to me," Archer explained patiently. It was an utter lie of course but it was plausible enough to pass muster. "Otherwise, I will reach the limits of my independent action and fade away."
"…Oh," Rin mumbled, a blush spreading through her cheeks. She was a magus, she knew the best way to do that. The only way to do that, without the Grail as an anchor. "You know, this is a terrible way to ask a girl if you can take her virginity!" Rin scolded him and Archer had to grin.
"Ah, shall I make it more romantic?" Archer teased before falling to one knee in front of her, the supplicating knight. "Please, my beloved master, my heart cannot bear the thought of leaving you alone. Please take me, assuage your lusts on me and keep me by your side forevermore," Archer said, gazing up at Rin through his eyelashes. She was staring at him and had she just had a mini-orgasm?
"A-Archer, you're not allowed to say sweet things like that!" She hit him on the top of his head and Archer blinked tolerantly. That was definitely his Rin. "Ugh, I won't allow it! Come on, come to the bedroom and get it stuck in! We don't want the food to get cold!" …HAHAHA! Archer had to bite his lip not to laugh.
"My beautiful, practical master," Archer murmured. She was right though, he shouldn't have finished the stir-fry. Oh well, it would reheat quite easily. And this was going to take much longer than Rin seemed to imagine. Archer was going to do far more than just stick it in. Moving smoothly to his feet, Archer smiled at Rin before taking her hand. "Shall we?" He invited and Rin suddenly gave him an odd look.
"You know Archer, you seem a little different," Rin said before speaking hastily. "Not that it's bad! In fact, I kind of like it. But it's… different." Archer just smiled at her.
"I've come to realize how much I want to remain by your side. If I have any wish, it is that," Archer said smoothly. It wasn't even a lie. Rin blushed again.
"Stop saying sweet things! We're just – just fusing my mage circuits!" Huffing, Rin went past him up the stairs and Archer followed. He liked walking behind her, it let him admire her long legs and lovely bottom. He did wonder about girl's uniforms though. Why were they so short? Teenage boys were horny to start with, trousers would seem a wiser choice. Ah, but now he was grateful for them, catching a few teasing glimpses of Rin's underwear. Not that a normal boy would have spotted it but Archer's eyesight was extremely keen.
In the bedroom, Rin turned to him and began to say something but Archer silenced her with a kiss. Moving with assurance he hadn't known before – he no longer doubted himself – Archer began to gently and tenderly disrobe her, kissing her along the way.
"A-Archer, you… oh…" Rin's voice turned breathy as he gently slid his fingers under her panties, easing them off. "You've… done this a lot?" She sounded hopeful and as he met her eyes, Archer could see held back fear.
"I've done this enough," Archer said after a moment before smiling understandingly. "You are safe in my hands, Rin," he said and she blushed again.
"I wasn't worried!" Archer had to laugh and she might have hit him, but he gently lifted her and deposited her on the bed. She was wearing nothing but her stockings now and the sight of her glorious body, so exposed, made him very hard. Archer reached for his own clothing, pulling it off in quick motions. His cock was very glad to be free of its' confines and Archer paused a moment as he saw Rin staring at him. In particular, his little Archer.
"…It's weird looking," Rin said and Archer bit back a laugh. "Is that how it's supposed to look?" Oh god!
"You do know how to stroke a man's ego, Rin," Archer gently teased and saw her blush. "Yes, this is how it's supposed to look. I am perfectly formed in every aspect." Modesty? That was something for other people. Rin was still examining it though.
"That's supposed to go inside me? Is it going to fit?" She asked and Archer did laugh before joining her on the bed. Her eyes were wide and apprehensive.
"It will fit, but you need to be ready first," Archer said before kissing her again. Rin was picking up the art of kissing quite quickly, he noticed. As he teased her with gentle, heat filled kisses, Archer gently explored her breasts with one hand. So pert, lovely little handfuls that he could play with to his heart's content. Ah, but he could do more with them…
Suiting actions to thoughts, Archer took one of her sweet little nipples into his mouth. Rin's flesh was so warm, the scent so intoxicating, it went directly to his head. He ground against the bed a bit, getting some friction to his aching cock as he concentrated on pleasing her. Rin needed to be ready to take him. Archer would not hurt her… anymore than necessary…
Archer let go of Rin's nipple with a lewd little pop, a bit of saliva still connecting them. He caught that trailing bit with his tongue before spreading his hands on her belly. Then he moved down, gently spreading her legs for –
"Archer, what are you doing?!" Those legs suddenly clamped shut and Archer pulled back, startled.
"I am going to suck you," he said after a moment of confusion. Rin's expression was horrified. "Why does that bother you?" Archer couldn't imagine.
"It's – it's dirty Archer! That's just wrong, you can't!" Rin said and Archer's lips twitched. He manfully held back his amusement before taking a deep breath and explaining.
"Rin, there is nothing dirty about that place. Have you forgotten that a penis is also used to pee?" From the horror on Rin's face, she had forgotten that. "Yet I will put mine inside you." How he ached to do it! "And I hope someday to convince my beautiful Rin to take my cock in her mouth. How could I not return the favor? Wouldn't that be terribly unfair?" Archer gently rested a hand on her knee before speaking persuasively. "Let me do this for you Rin," he said, employing every bit of his charisma. Rin's legs parted hesitantly.
"It… it can't make a mistake, can it?" Rin said hesitantly and Archer cocked an eyebrow at her. "Your… your penis, I mean. You won't pee in me will you?" Archer had to bite his lip, hard, not to laugh.
"No Rin, it can't make a mistake. And Heroic Spirits do not need to eat and do not make waste," Archer said and Rin looked extremely relieved. Deciding they had talked more than enough, Archer settled between her thighs.
Rin was wet, but not really enough, not for a virgin. Archer set about correcting that, flicking her clit with his tongue before pausing to suck. He felt a shiver run through Rin's body and slid a single finger into her damp slit. Archer heard her soft gasp, felt her inner walls grasping his finger. Oh gods how he ached for her!
Forcing himself to wait, Archer continued to suck Rin's clit, introducing a second finger, then a third. Rin's walls were slick now, very slick and warmly grasping. Her soft gasps and moans were deeply arousing and Archer could feel her thighs trembling, smell her feminine musk. When he felt her walls flutter he suddenly pulled away.
"Archer! Uh… I was…" Rin's face was adorably flushed as she protested her lost orgasm. Archer smiled, moving up her body and letting his penis settle against her belly. Rin's eyes widened as she felt his heavy length.
"I know, but I want you Rin. I am going to take you now," he said and she swallowed before nodding. Archer grasped his penis, positioning himself before sliding into Rin with a quick, powerful thrust. Her face twisted in surprise and pain as he passed through the gates no man had entered before. Archer held perfectly still, petting her hair and murmuring soothing nothings in her ears as he waited for Rin to adjust. Gradually her body loosened as she became accustomed to the feel of his girth inside her.
"Archer…!" Rin's voice was breathy and Archer took that for permission. He began to move, kissing her throat as he slowly thrust in and out. Her walls were incredibly tight around him, virgin tight. "Oh… you feel… so…" Rin said, her breathing coming in small pants. Archer felt a great deal of masculine pride, that his Rin was coming undone beneath him.
"Thank you Rin, I'm glad you… approve…" Archer breathed, having trouble concentrating on anything but the woman in his arms. He kissed her again as he thrust into her core, feeling every inch of her vagina caressing his cock. It felt so good in there, like he belonged there. Him and only him. My Rin, my beautiful, gorgeous Rin. When he was done she would be his, forever.
That thought struck him hard and Archer speeded his thrusts, taking Rin more firmly. He wanted this, wanted it so much. Rin's legs were grasping him tightly, her hands on his shoulders as he rocked her into the bed. Archer looked into her beautiful green eyes, feeling his orgasm approaching. But he would make her cum first. Just a little… more…
The moment Rin came would be forever etched into Archer's memory. Her wide eyes, the sweet cry that left her lips and the way her insides went tight, undulating around him in beautiful, wicked motions. That sensation sent Archer over the edge and he exploded inside her with a cry –
And filled her with Grail mud.
"ARCHER!" Rin's scream then was not pleasure but rather, agonizing pain. Archer held her tight, clamping her arms with his hands. "ARCHER NO!" Rin didn't understand what he'd just done. All she knew was that he'd filled her with something hot and burning, unnatural and strange. And she was fighting it, which made the situation worse.
"It's alright Rin. Shhh. Calm down," Archer said soothingly as she arched in his grip, whimpering, her eyes wide with torment. As he held her down, Archer allowed the Grail to come forth again. Rin's eyes widened even further as she saw the red lines slowly appear on his body, his eyes lightening to gold. "It will be over soon and then you'll feel better. You'll feel amazing." What would corrupted Rin be like? Oh Archer couldn't wait to see it. She whimpered again.
"You tricked me… you lied to me…" Rin's eyes were filling with tears and Archer gently kissed them away. He kept his body firmly wedged inside her, using his penis as a plug to hold the darkness in.
"I tricked you but I didn't lie to you. I love you Rin. I love you and I want you by my side, forevermore." Archer breathed and she arched again with a small cry. "Oh please don't fight it Rin. It hurts me to see you in pain. Join me and I will show you such joy," Archer said, allowing all his true emotions to show. His love, his desire, his desperate need for the woman in his arms. How strange, that the Grail had set even his positive emotions free.
"No, I… no…" Rin protested the change but it was futile. Her body was rapidly absorbing the Grail mud and Archer watched as the pain began to ease. As the pain vanished, lines of red appeared, but only on the right side of her body. They trailed up, decorating her breast in lazy lines before sliding up her neck and onto her cheek, just like his. "Oh, I feel… so different." Rin murmured and Archer smiled as he let go of his grip on her arms to gently push back a bit of her sweaty hair.
"Does it feel good, Rin?" he asked tenderly and green eyes sharpened a bit, Rin looking at him.
"Yes, it feels good," she said and Archer could hear the edge of darkness in her voice, the tickle of madness. "Oh Archer, we're going to have so much fun together, aren't we?" Rin said and Archer smiled, gripping her chin and pulling her into a deep and passionate kiss. She returned it with more fervor this time, exploring his mouth like she wanted to memorize him.
"Oh we are Rin, we most definitely are," Archer breathed as he let go. Rin smiled up at him, sinfully content. "We can do anything we want." Anything at all. And they were going to.
Oh yes, they were going to.
