Another really long day.
Happy Vday- Special Chapter. No Plot- just fluff :)
"Will you marry me?"
Rin immediately slapped her hands over her mouth as the words just fell out. She could literally feel her face turning different shades of pink and red. Obviously, it was unbecoming of the Tohsaka heir to say such things idly. She really couldn't help it. It really wasn't fair, if you asked her. He was just seriously so pretty. Though to be fair, a lot of heroes seemed to be really beautiful bordering ridiculous. But STILL.
As Rin was ruminating over her lack of elegance in her head, the Knight of Fianna known as Diarmuid Ua Duibhne was trying to stop the snickering that was being directed towards him from all directions. He groaned inwardly when he heard the distant bellow of various objections followed by the sounds of tackling. He was sure he would never hear the end of this. It wasn't as if he wasn't use to females throwing themselves at him. Ever since he was cursed with the love spot. Though he didn't think someone ever so young had confessed to him.
Rin swore she was going to faint when she looked at him. Seriously. Unfair. This was completely mortifying- what would the future Mr. Tohsaka Rin think of her? Just blurting things out in public like that. Literally having just met. She was seriously an idiot. And she knew she was staring. Like an idiot.
"Ah, I'm sorry fair maiden. I fear I am too old for your young heart." It more than a full minute to process the words that he had just had. And then she just stood there. Her face no longer red and her eyes becoming increasingly serious. After what seemed like an eternity to Diarmuid, Rin finally removed her hands over her mouth and pointed.
"Did you know that you have a curse on your face?" He blinked at her before sighing.
" Alas, oh yes, I was cursed by a young lady in my past. I fear it may have affected you- that you may not know what you speak of."
Rin stared at him for a few more moments with such seriousness that it made him just a touch nervous; before slowly shaking her head. Raising up her arm she pulled back the sleeve of the white uniform that they had asked her to wear. Apparently they had to magically shrink one to fit her. Holding up her left arm she showed him her magical crest- green lines just barely visible.
"I think if it was supposed to work on me, my crest would be trying to repel it? It would be glowing. It's protects me." Rin was already backing away as she said the words.
Diarmuid could see small tears forming in her eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off as Rin turned and ran away. He did feel bad. Really bad but he wasn't sure he could explain so that would make her feel okay. Behind him the crowd dispersed though more than a few were giving him dirty looks. It wasn't like it was even his fault! Honestly, what was he supposed to do! Hanging his head, he just knew Atalanta was surely going to try to kill him for hurting her new charge's feeling. And after her, he was certain a few heroes would likely follow.
A light touch on his arm, made him look back up. Caster Semiramis sauntered past him flashing him a smile that was all teeth.
"Tsk Tsk, breaking such a young heart. Your love spot makes women fall in love with you. Rin's a little girl. Different rules. I fear, she really meant it. Oh my." Her long black hair swished behind her. "...such wonderful potential I see in her!"
Poor Rin!
Would Rin's crest try to ward off the curse? Who knows! Believe in fluffy magic!
