A/N: Takes place shortly after the end of the fifth grail war; the gang is still in Fuyuki. Also, this chapter has smut.

A gift from Thrud

Shirou Emiya was used to disaster. It had become a part of his life since meeting Taiga. The woman was a walking ball of energy, and then Sakura entered the picture to become his only source of sanity. Then the Valkyries saved him from the crazed saber class Servant that tried to kill him; only for them to train him in hellish ways in the ways of old. Then came Rin and her endless demands, chastisements and teasing. It was, at times, too much.

But he had one ally in all of this. Thrud, the blonde Valkyrie was always dutiful, calm, composed and polite. But more importantly, she kept her sisters and even Taiga under control. It was hard to deny her strong aura and disposition, as well as her stern gaze. But like everyone else, she had weaknesses, mostly her pride and feelings. Yet he kept that to himself.

Valentine's day was close, and everyone at school was preparing. While he didn't care to indulge in those traditions, he knew at least Sakura would give him something, and he needed to prepare something to return. He guessed a chocolate filled with caramel; since she liked sweet things.

However, once he arrived to his house and went in the kitchen, everything was a mess. Pots thrown around the room, flour staining the walls and floors along with various ingredients. He sighed as he threw his school bag nearby and left his shoes at the entrance.

"What a mess…" he said, scratching the back of his neck. Just as he was going deeper into the house to get the cleaning equipment, an inexpressive face along with blonde hair stepped into his vision.

"Master. You're early, if you so please, could you exit the house for a moment?" Asked Thrud. She looked… different. She was wearing his apron over her mystic code and her hair was tied into a long ponytail. But most damning of all, she was covered from head to toe in various sweet ingredients.

"Thrud? What happened? Did you make this mess?" he asked her, arching an eyebrow. The Valkyrie looks away, blushing.

"Yes, indeed. Forgive me, I had a tough and violent battle with the kitchen utensils, but I was victorious in the end," Shirou smiled. The Valkyries always spoke of things in a way related to battle, probably due to their programming.

"I see. So…" he put out a smile, but in reality, he was upset, incredibly so. He could see all the wasted food, all the dirty utensils, the ruined tapestries. All because of her. "… Was it worth it?" he asked. The Valkyrie retreated slightly at the dark aura he emanated with a nervous expression. Of the few he had ever seen.

"Yes, Master. In fact–" she recovered her composure and went back to being the serious Valkyrie he loved. "– I managed to succeed in my endeavor. I only hoped you could come later when all was cleaned up." she said, lowering her head and small wings.

Seeing her so vulnerable, Shirou put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "It's quite alright Thrud. Let me help you clean up."

"Yes Master, of course."

In an hour, everything was squeaky clean. Shirou had to wipe a bead of sweat from his forehead as he rested on the mop he held.

"Man, what were you trying to make Thrud? You know I could have helped you anytime," he said, looking at the girl who was barely winded. She looked away, blushing once again.

"Well, it was supposed to be a surprise, but I guess there is no sense in hiding it now." with a shrug, Thrud pulled away her apron and ponytail and went behind the kitchen counter. From there, she pulled out a small plate that had small purple sweets in it.

"Is that…?" he asked, grabbing one. It felt… good to grab it, and had a smell similar to magical energy.

"It's a sugar chocolate I made, encasing it with magical energy; so it doesn't really have sugar. For you, my Master." Shirou was dumbfounded; even more so when he humored her request and put it in his mouth.

It was sweet, sweeter than honey. It seemed to melt in his mouth, allowing him to taste the chocolate inside. His jaw weakened slightly; he could feel something else that screamed This is Thrud's, made especially by her.

"Wow. This is amazing!" he said, closing his eyes in order to imprint the taste into his mind. He heard an angelic laugh.

"I'm glad, Master. It is my pride and joy. A hard earned spoil from a long battle. Please enjoy it." He heard her begin to float away, but before she could go, he grabbed her hand.

His chest went tight. How could she make this for him? He was undeserving of it yet. Moreover, he had made her nothing in return.

"What's wrong?" She asked. He hesitated in his answer for a moment. No, he would not make assumptions.

"Why me, Thrud?" he asked simply. She looked away.

"Must I clarify?" she asked. Shirou went still. They had shared a night together, but after everything that happened with Archer, Gilgamesh, Sakura and Rin his mind had become muddied. He felt love for the Valkyries, but also was afraid of being undeserving of them. They were divine spirits, warrior maidens, selectors of heroes. He was none of those things yet.

"It's just that I'm still… confused I guess. I don't want to drag you down, that's all." he felt a hand caress his face.

"Shirou," Thrud was close to him, smiling gently. "We are still not sure if you are a true hero, but you have proven time and time again that you are not our Master, you are our companion. A partner that fights at our side, just like we fight at yours. We'll always be glad to follow you; and learn with you as you learn with us." at this declaration, he smiled. Yeah, he had heard something like this many times, and he felt bad.

"Sorry for needing to have you pull me out so many times out of the fire, guys." he said, smiling again.

"That is why we are here, Shirou." she said, running a thumb trough his cheek.

They held each other close for a moment, and their foreheads touched. He felt at ease with Thrud, she was his partner. She kept him stable, and he kept her moving. Even if both of them started as machines, they were now much more than that. He felt incredibly thankful.

After a moment, Shirou's eyes wandered to her pink lips. He wanted to get even closer to her.

"Can I… kiss you?" he asked sheepishly.

"I thought you already had enough bond points with us to not ask such a thing." said Thrud.

"Bond points?" he raised an eyebrow. It sounded like a game term.

"Something from a… romance videogame I am interested in."

"This is not a videogame, Thrud." he said, tone in between teasing and reprimanding.

"I recognize that. Although some things are similar."

"Do I have enough Bond points, then?" he asked straight faced. The Valkyrie looked away, blushing.

"The maximum." she muttered.

"So I can do this, then?" with that, he leaned forward and captured her lips with a kiss. They were soft, wet and smaller than his, so it felt like he was devouring her in a way. Excited by this prospect, he deepened it, putting his arms across her back and waist to pull her closer. The Valkyrie offered no resistance, and in fact leaned forward while pushing her own body against his.

After a moment, he separated, blushing. "Something came over me. Sorry." he said. Thrud touched his lips.

"Your mouth is sweet, just like in the game." he arched an eyebrow, somewhat sickened but extremely curious.

"What happened in the game?"

"The characters shared a candy between their mouths, and tasted each other along with it."

"You want to try that?"

"Affirmative." she nodded. With that said, Shirou once again dove into her mouth, except this time Thrud opened hers and allowed his tongue to roam free.

However, she was a servant, so I did not take much effort for her own to push his back. He could feel her explore his mouth, and she wrapped her own tongue around his, sliding and licking all around it. He blushed, since it felt amazing, but he was the one supposed to make her feel good.

They separated, a string of saliva dangling between the two partners that were out of breath. Thrud, in an uncharacteristic fashion, licked around her mouth sensually.

"Truly delicious. May a request more, Shirou?" she asked with the same blank expression, except the situation made it cute.

"Affirmative." He answered, and they kissed again. In the middle of their make out session, Shirou opted to move his hands across her frame. Waist, hips, legs, to hips again. He then realized he had done that without permission, and chided himself before stopping. However, this caused the Valkyrie to separate from him.

"You stopped, Master." Shirou looked away, embarrassed.

"I mean, I didn't want to–" she stopped him, grabbing his hands and directing them back to her legs.

"You may touch anywhere, Shirou. However, I have a suggestion of where you may start," she moved his hands up her boots, to her upper legs, and then further up, behind the flaps of her outfit. They squeezed something that was round and firm, but not too big. He blushed even more.

"Thrud, are you–" she silenced him with a quick peck on the lips.

"You are like this," she brushed her hand along his inner thigh, which made him shiver. He still had his school pants on. "We must finish this battle, my Master. Don't you agree?" she smiled, looking at him with gleaming Ruby eyes. He could not resist that gaze. If there was one thing he loved more than swords, it was Thrud.

"Okay. Let's finish this," he dove in this time, planting kisses all over her mouth, pushing her back against the counter. The blonde warrior did not let up however, as she pushed against him, trying to lead him towards the table.

Shirou had a plan however. He gripped the back of her legs and lifted her up. The Valkyrie let out a muffled yelp inside his mouth as the boy forced her into the air and back against the kitchen counter. He would allow no escape, and thus would not make her sit on it.

"Master?!" Thrud let his mouth go for a moment. Her surprised, blushing face made him stop in his tracks.

"Too much?" he asked. At this, the Valkyrie went serious, and assaulted his mouth once again. His surprise made her able to lick and kiss every part of his face, leaving it all wet when she finished.

"You lowered your guard Shirou. That is not good. A warrior must be attentive at all times," the boy arched an eyebrow.

"So this is just training?"

"Exactly. Nothing more." She said, but Shirou knew from his interactions with Rin what truly was happening here. Thrud was the most considerate of the sisters, yet also the most responsible and most attached to the duty of being a 'Valkyrie', an automaton with no emotions or feelings. She constantly tried to deny it, deny her feelings but Shirou had managed to crack her shell a little. At least in regards to intimacy. "Your defense is lacking. Let's see your offense,"

At this, Shirou smiled, and felt his member pulse in his pants a little in anticipation. "Alright, where shall I start?"

"Wherever you want," said Thrud, looking away. The boy frowned.

"Thrud, I want to make you feel good. And only you know what you like," he said.

"I'm a Valkyrie, I must comply with your commands," she was slipping into that mentality again. He leaned forward and kissed her softly.

"Today, I will follow your commands Thrud. Please, tell me where to 'attack'," he said after separating from her. Thrud's face was embarrassed, but somewhat pleased.

"Very well. Then please start with my… my…" her words devolved into mumbles.

"What was that?" he asked, which caused the Valkyrie to turn almost as red as her eyes.

"I said, start with my nipples," at this, she snapped her fingers and her clothes dissipated, leaving her only clad in her necklace belt and bracelets. Her breasts fell free, less than a handful but round and firm, adorned with pink nipples.

Without a word, Shirou dove in, licking along her left breast, while one of his hands kneaded the other. He used his remaining arm to try and push her further into the counter in order to better lift her.

He heard her shiver, along with the taking of shallow breaths. "Master… no taunting. You must charge in, fiercely," she said in between gasps.

He obeyed, and engulfed her nipple with his mouth, using his tongue to lick it while his other hand flicked her left one. He heard Thrud begin to gasp and breath hard, along with barely audible moans. She was enjoying it, and he was too. Her breast tasted amazing, or maybe it was the leftover from her gift. Regardless, it made his ministrations enjoyable.

He let her breast go, and attacked the other. However, this time he opted to bite the nipple instead of licking it. It had the desired effect as whenever he bit down a little Thrud let out a little mewl.

"Is that good?" he asked, stopping for a minute to take air. The blonde Valkyrie was flushed, sweating and breathing hard.

"Yes, but…" she looked at him, eyes clouded with desire.

"But?" he asked.

"I need you inside me," she said, using a hand to bring his head near hers and kissing him deeply.

"Alright," he was glad. He felt his member could rip out of his pants. He felt Thrud pull at his zipper, and then put her warm hand into his boxers. The slightest touch sent shivers down his body, to the point he was starting to get flustered and hard of breath.

"Seems you are quite ready, Master, if a little too excited" she said with a smile.

"Did you just… tease me?" he asked.

Realizing what she just said, Thrud looked away with a serious expression. "Of course not. Now, please continue with the intercourse," she said. He nearly laughed, and placed his dick near her entrance.

"Ready?" he asked.

"A Valkyrie is always ready," she replied.

With a hum, he inserted his member inside her. She was wet, but tight and warm. He felt like he was about to melt from the intense heat inside of her. It felt so good. Heightened further by the loud gasp that Thrud let out.

"You alright Thrud?" he asked, nearly growling due to the pleasure.

"Yes… I'm fine, go on," Nodding, shroud pulled his member out of her except for the tip, and then pushed it in back again. It seems his foreplay had worked, because she was slippery and his dick entered with no further problems.

He continued that motion, pumping in and out of her while holding her against the counter. Thrud put her arms around his neck, breathing and moaning into his face. He loved it, having her so close to him. The two lovers even stole kisses from one another.

It all felt so good. Shirou could lose himself in their love making, enough to forger about his ideals and his nightmares, at least for the time being. All he cared for was Thrud, and Thrud only. And yet, he felt guilty about it, about his enjoyment of it. He needed to make sure of one thing.

"Are you feeling good?" he asked her. The Valkyrie looked at him with nearly closed eyes, mouth open in pleasure.

"I… I… Your motions are- are at full strength… I-" no, that was not what he wanted.

"Please, tell me how you feel. You are not a machine." he said in between thrusts. The one after he said that was particularly strong, and made the Valkyrie reel her head back in surprise.

"It feels good! It feels good, Master! Please keep going!" she said, pulling her head forward and forcing his own into her bosom. "I command you to keep going!" she yelled. He complied, as he kept thrusting into her wet pussy while licking and biting her exposed breasts.

He was being overwhelmed by everything. Taste, smell, tightness, wetness. It fall felt too good. Something was building up inside him, making him go faster. And as his pumping sped up, so did Thrud's inner walls tighten.

"Go harder, Shirou!" she said, kissing his hair and massaging it. He was so hot right now, everything was on fire.

"Yes! Of course!" he answered, increasing his speed.

The lovers continued their love making until Shirou could hold on no longer.

"Thrud, I'm gonna…!"

"Hold on a little. I'm think I'm almost there." she said. He nodded. He used his entire will to hold on his orgasm. Thrud came first. Her moans got louder, longer. Her hands clawed at his body as she licked and kissed his face all over like a hungry animal.

"Shirou! Shirou! I'm gonna cum!" she said. He increased his pace even further as he felt her walls tighten.

"Me too! I'm…!" he could not finish his sentence as he let out a groan and came inside her. She was a Servant, they could not have children or get pregnant. There was no risk, in fact, according to Tohsaka it may even give her some magical energy.

Both lovers orgasmed together, pushing their heads into each other, breathing heavily into the others face. Shirou and Thrud looked at each other, eyes clouded by their exhaustion and passion. However, the Valkyrie had more, and she stole one last kiss from him.

Once they separated, he lifted her into the kitchen counter and removed his member from her insides, letting some cum ooze out from her pussy.

"We made a mess once again. How irresponsible." Thrud said, breathing heavily.

"Yeah. But… did you like it?" he asked her. She seemed uncertain of her answer, until she smiled at him.

"I did. Very much. You are an excellent lover according to my metrics," he raised an eyebrow, slightly amused.

"I'm glad. Now, let's clean this up. I don't want Taiga complaining about the smell," he said.

"Affirmative. Just let me clean my body for a moment," she said, excusing herself towards the bathroom.

After her return, Master and Servant worked together to clean the living room once again.

"I think that's enough cleaning for one day. Now, let's get to cooking. Everyone else will be here soon," he said, looking at his handiwork.

"Affirmative. I'll help, as this is my responsibility after all," With that said, the two lovers set out to prepare the meal, with Thrud handing Shirou his utensils, ingredients, and helping with other preparations.

"By the way, Thrud," he said while checking the stove.

"Yes, Master?"

"Why did you make chocolate?" he asked her simply. The Valkyrie looked away, blushing.

"Well, it was protocol for this day, according to other humans,"

"But only for lovers,"

"Yes. And I wanted to express my feelings towards you. My respect for your valor and strength," she explained.

"Only that?" he pushed. Thrud blushed for a moment, embarrassed.

"Well… there may be some more feelings involved. But they are classified." she said with her blank voice.

"Of course they are. I guess I should express mine then," the Valkyrie looked at him once again, with a raised eyebrow.

"And they are?"

"I love you. From the bottom of my heart," at this, Thrud blushed crimson.

"I love you as well, my Shirou,"

A/N: Thrud got lewded, finally. I really enjoyed the Valentine event, and it inspired me to make this. I'll also do one for Ortlinde and one for Hildr. Wether they'll have smut or not, we'll see. But they probably will.

I hope you all get some chocolates from/for your favorite Servants. As always, review if you have any thoughts. Until next chapter!
