Hello everybody my name is Trevyler and welcome to another short series I'm writing for Fate. This will only be around 2-4 chapters probably unless I decide to expand it. This was an idea I got out of the blue. It's not how my stories usually are, but it could be considered interesting. I won't spoil anything. Let's just get started.
CHAPTER 1: SHIROU, RIN, AND SAKURA
Shirou Emiya loved his girlfriend Rin Tohsaka. He did her best to make her as happy as she made him.
He cooked her nice meals. They had their romantic moments and their arguments. Nothing ever really shook them up too bad though. They were pretty close despite it all. They'd been together since their third year of high school. He'd had a crush on her for the longest time. He learned later after they'd been through some difficult times together that she felt the same way towards him.
It was one of the best days of his life. The prettiest girl in school, the school idol, and his long time crush returned his feelings. He almost thought she was just messing with him at first. In his mind though, he knew she was genuine because of the clear bashfulness she displayed. She would never react in such a way if she were just teasing him.
Today, however, it seemed something was off with her. Her smiles were a little weaker. Something must've been bothering her.
"Um, Rin? Are you alright?" He asked her.
She sighed, "So you noticed, huh? I should've expected it but I was hoping you'd buy my act." She admitted.
Shirou put a hand on her shoulder, "What's wrong" He questioned.
She patted the spot next to her, "It's Sakura. You know how I told you that she's my younger sister right?" She started.
"Yeah. What's that got to do with this?" He wondered.
"Well...she wants us to visit next week. The problem is that I won't be able to make it on Saturday. I'll be a bit busy finishing up at assignment. So I was going to ask a favor of you." She explained.
"I'll try to help if it's not too much trouble." He replied.
"Thanks, Shirou. I appreciate it." She told him, gratefully.
She paused for a moment to place a kiss on his cheek.
"So I need you to fly out to Fuyuki to stay with Sakura for a day or two before I get the chance to fly out there. Can you do that for me?" she requested.
He nodded, "Sounds easy enough. I've been meaning to catch up with Sakura for a while now." he accepted.
"I know I can always count on you." she said, giving him a small peck on the lips.
So it had been a few days, and Shirou had just arrived in Fuyuki. He'd already paid a taxi to drive him to the Emiya estate. Apparently Taiga and Old Man Raiga had been taking care of the place for him in his absence. He'd have to go see them while he was here.
When he pulled up, he noticed someone was already outside waiting for him.
"Hey Sakura, how have you been?" he asked, getting his bags out of the trunk.
"I've been good Senpai." she replied.
She smiled, "That's good." he said.
He brought his bags inside, instantly smelling the scent of food, "Something smells good in here." he commented.
Sakura blushed slightly, "Well I wanted to prepare something nice for when you got here. Only I wasn't exactly sure when that would be so started early and well..." she trailed off, feeling nervous.
Shirou chuckled, "It's fine really. I wanna see how you've improved since the last time I was here." he told her, honestly.
She gave small smile, "Thank you, Senpai." she said in return.
"And no more of that Senpai stuff. I'm not really your senpai anymore. Just call me Shirou." he said firmly yet gently.
"O-okay, Shirou." she said his name, blushing a bit.
"There ya go. Now why don't we have the dinner you've been working on. It smells just about done to me." he said with a chuckle.
Sakura rushed back to the kitchen, "Sure thing, Sen-Shirou." she corrected herself.
They plated the food together and brought it to the table.
They both clapped their hands together in prayer, "Thank you for the food." they said in unison.
Sakura watched him go for that first bite, gauging his reaction. He brought the food to his mouth, then began to chew. Mere seconds felt like hours as she waited to see what he thought.
He smiled, "It's delicious. In fact, I think you're catching up to me." he complimented.
She beamed at him, "Thank you, Shirou. You have no idea how much that means to me coming from you." she declared.
"Don't mention it. I was just being honest." he stated.
"Well, there's one more thing to go with it." she informed.
He looked at her with a puzzled expression. She pulled a bottle from the bag beside her he hadn't noticed.
He stared at the bottle of Sake, "So you want to drink together? I never pictured you doing something like that." he admitted.
"Miss Fujimura let me try some when I turned 20 since I could now legally drink. I didn't have much, but the bit I did have wasn't unpleasant. However, I wanted to try and drink with friends. Though I hadn't really had the opportunity since so many people went their separate ways after High School. You're the first person I've had the chance to really meet up with in a while." she explained.
Shirou felt a bit bad that neither he nor Rin had come to visit her since they came back to see her just after she graduated. That was around a year or two ago.
"Well why not. I haven't really drank a lot in the past couple of years. Well I've drank wine with Rin a few times."
Sakura sat two cups out and began to poor the Sake into them.
"Cheers." they said in unison, clinking the glasses together.
Sakura began slowly drinking hers while Shirou knocked his back like it was nothing.
Sakura's eyes widened in shock, "Shirou! Did you j-just...?" she stammered.
He slammed the cup back down on the table, "Sorry about that. Bad habit." he said as if it made perfect sense.
She gave him a look, as it asking him to elaborate.
He stretched his arms, "Sometimes when she's not feeling like wine, Rin and I go bar hopping and take shots. I picked up a bad habit of drinking most alcohol like shots now." he elaborated.
Sakura's mouth formed an 'O' shape, "Oh I see. I never really such things from you or Nee-san." she said.
He chuckled, "Me neither." he confessed.
He poured himself another cup drinking it down much slower this time.
Sakura kept nursing her drink, "Shirou, I'd take it a bit slower if I were you. I wasn't anticipating that you would drink so much so fast, so I kinda bought a stronger bottle than I normally would have." she informed him.
"That explains while I'm feeling a little buzzed already. Oh, well. Too late for regrets." he shrugged.
Pouring another cup and drinking it, he let a content sigh, "Thanks Sakura. I really needed a chance to unwind in a familiar place like this." he said, giving a slightly drunken but genuine smile.
Clearly he'd never gotten into strong alcohol during his "adventures" with her older sister.
The circumstances of everything made her feel even guiltier than she already felt about what she was planning to do tonight. She wouldn't be backing down now though.
"Forgive me, Senpai." she said.
The now intoxicated young man looked confused as she went for his shirt and began to unbutton it.
"Sakura?" he asked.
She kissed him, "Forgive me. Once this is all over you can hate me, curse me, or never speak to me again. I need this though. My selfish wish." she said against his mouth.
Shriou's deluded mind couldn't really understand anything, but his body was on autopilot, bringing her into his lap and deepening the kiss.
Sakura smiled and yet felt like grimacing all the same. 'I'ma horrible person' she thought to herself.
So that's part 1. Part two will be out in the near future I suppose. It depends on what I have time to do. Tell me what you guys think so far. I know this is crossing a line that most people are a bit uncomfortable with, but interesting stories need to do that sometimes. So I'm crossing a line that I rarely if ever cross. Hopefully you guys thought it was worth it. Have a great night everybody and I'll see you next time.
