They were sitting on the plain grass, smiling and laughing with each other. She had her head in his lap, and was listening to his stories, he was weaving through her hair, braiding it slowly.
"… and then Tohsaka exploded into an angry fit, criticizing every mage in the room for their lackluster work, saying that she'd gladly follow the 'heretic idiot' if it meant standing up to the Cardinal."
Artoria chuckled. It truly was like Rin to do so.
"It is good to hear that all of them are still well."
"Mhm, that it is."
Shirou looked into the distance, his hand stilling. Artoria looked up from her position, a questioning glint in her eyes.
"…I'm going to miss them, huh?"
"Yes, you will. As do I, believe me."
He looked down at her. He never doubted that for a second.
"I missed you."
And as Shirou started with his handiwork again, and as Artoria closed her eyes and started humming silently, their worries in the past, she answered his words with a soft "I did too."
So, this can be seen as a continuation to 'Dream'. I've had this idea for a long tike now - what exactly do Shirou and Saber do inside Avalon all time long? But with my track record of writing full-lenght stories cough Fate Who cough (I will continue it... Some day...) I though I shoiluld do the safer thing and write little ficclets about their time together. So... Tadaa! Let's see their shenangias xD
