"Ah…!"

Okay, let's get this straight first. Ritsuka would not exactly call himself an egoist or vain. Sure, he has some confidence in his looks but only the average amount.

"AH!"

And it wasn't like his first thought was to do what they were doing right now. No, that started a while after.

"Ngh!'

What was he going on about? Well… to be as blunt as possible, he was currently having sex with who was essentially a female version of himself.

Underneath Ritsuka was a girl his age with long black hair and blue eyes. Her facial structure was also pretty similar to his. She was also stark naked— a fact emphasised by her glistening sweat. However, that wasn't really a surprise considering what they were doing.

"Ri~tsu~ka~" the girl whispered into his ear, wrapping her arms around his neck tightly while doing so. "You're close too, aren't you?"

Ritsuka didn't answer and just panted as he continued thrusting into her, making the girl squeal more loudly. He felt her tighten up one more time, and she wrapped her legs around him, pulling Ritsuka closer.

As one, the copulating couple cried in pleasure as they came together. The girl's pleasured cry soon turned to moans as she felt Ritsuka fill her up.

"Ha… ha…" Both of them gasped for breath after coming down from their highs. With their lovemaking over, Ritsuka pulled out of his lover— a thin trickle of cum leaked from her crack —before laying down next to her.

The two lay in bed together, trying to catch their breaths. Eventually, their breathing slowed down and the dark room— illuminated only through moonlight through the window —grew quiet.

Ritsuka felt his lover shift around in bed and a moment later, she pulled the blanket over their bodies and settled in next to him.

"Good night…" She yawned before tiredly mumbling, "See you next time…".

"Good night, sleep well…" Ritsuka replied, just as tired as she was. He contemplated something for a few seconds before deciding to just do it.

He timidly gave her a short kiss on the temple. Ritsuka heard her smugly yet contently huff but she didn't seem to mind at all.

'Huh… Guess that means she's fine with me doing that now,' Ritsuka thought. While they had made out several times and laid brief kisses on each other's bodies before, those had been more in-the-moment type of deal.

Then again, this was the first time Ritsuka was brave enough to kiss her after the main event; she could've been alright with it for a while now.

In any case, he was too tired to think deeply about his relationship with her at the moment. He relaxed into the soft bed and let sleep overtake him.

When his eyes opened again, Ritsuka saw that he was back in his room in Chaldea. Once again, he was wearing his pyjamas and alone in bed.

"…Alright, time to get ready." He was used to this already and, despite still being tired, got out of bed. As he got ready for the day, Ritsuka's thoughts wandered to several months back— to his first dream about her…

"Have a nice sleep, Senpai."

"Thank you, Mash. See you tomorrow," Ritsuka waved his kouhai goodbye as he entered his room. He yawned as he made his way towards his closet.

He took his time looking through before picking out his usual sleepwear; a blue Arts t-shirt he took a liking to and a simple pair of black pants. Changing into it, Ritsuka went to turn off the lights before finally going to bed, using his digital clock on the bedside table as a guide.

After a long day of grinding materials in the simulator, he was completely exhausted and nearly immediately fell asleep upon lying down.

Eventually, he woke up with another yawn. While he was still somewhat tired, Ritsuka tried to sit up and prepare for the day.

"Eh?" —That was when he noticed something was off. Namely, an arm draped over his chest prevented him from getting up. Ritsuka couldn't see who it was well due to how dark it was, but low snores coming from them told him they were still asleep.

'Oh, one of them must've snuck in.' Ritsuka was referring to one of his more… handsy Servants. It wasn't the first (or tenth…) time this had happened so he wasn't as surprised as he should be. In any case, he needed to slip out of their grasp.

'What time is it?' While time didn't matter much in Chaldea since day or night is practically non-existent anymore, they all still adhere to a strict schedule that immediately goes off the rails.

Raising his head slightly, Ritsuka tried to look over his sleeping companion's body to check his alarm clock… only to see a wall.

'…What?' That… wasn't right. The sudden realisation that he might not be in his room slapped Ritsuka's drowsiness out of him. 'Ohhhhkay then… Don't panic, Ritsuka. That'll just make things worse,' the teen told himself. Panicking was the worst move he could make now.

He looked around the best he could and confirmed that he was no longer in his bedroom. Other than the most obvious fact that his— well, not his bed was now in the corner, the bedroom had a window on the opposite wall where the moonlight shone through. Ritsuka couldn't make out too many details of the room, but it was definitely not his.

"Zzzz…" Oh right, there was still that little issue— he was in bed with an unknown person. It was safe to say that the room belonged to whoever they were and that he was trespassing.

First order of business, slip out of their grasp without waking them up. Something told Ritsuka they wouldn't take too kindly to a stranger sleeping in their bed with them.

That was when he ran into his second related issue— their hug was pretty tight. Ritsuka couldn't see himself slipping out anytime soon.

'Alright, deep breaths. Slow and steady wins the race.' While this was not the most dangerous or weirdest situation he's been in, Ritsuka had the feeling things could quickly go sideways if he made the wrong move.

The best way to go, Ritsuka decided, was down. He started to wiggle his way down and out of the hug slowly. It wasn't easy, especially getting his arm through, but he eventually moved down enough that his "partner's" hands were up to his shoulders.

'Just a bit more…'

"Mmm… Onii-san…" '!' Ritsuka had to stop himself from making a noise as the sleeping person shifted in their sleep.

On the (sort of) bright side, he can say for certain that his bedmate was female. If the higher-pitched mumbling didn't tell him that, then getting his face shoved into her chest did. Admittedly, whoever it was wasn't well endowed but that didn't really matter to Ritsuka since he was beyond embarrassed either way.

'How did I get out of this one?!' Ritsuka was close to panicking despite knowing that he should remain as still as possible. Their previous sleeping position was bad enough but their current one would definitely get him killed.

"Mhmmm…" A soft content sigh came from her, making Ritsuka stop struggling.

'She must be having a nice dream…' Ritsuka assumed. She did mutter something about her brother a few seconds earlier.

"…Fine…" he whispered, deciding to give up for now; he didn't want to risk waking her up.

Ritsuka tried his best to relax, staying quiet and listening to the soft snores of his unwitting bedmate. After hearing the calm breathing for several seconds, he grew drowsier.

Eventually, he found it hard to keep his eyes open and— before he knew it —Ritsuka fell asleep again…

Present…

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head, standing before the door of his bedroom. "Those are just dreams. Don't think too hard about it." He tried to convince himself before pressing the button to open the door— ready to go through the day.

Sunlight slowly poured into the bedroom as the sun rose. Soft snores came from the bunk bed in the corner, the two occupants still sleeping peacefully. It wasn't long, however, before the one sleeping on the bottom bunk slowly woke up from sunlight hitting her face.

"Uhhh…" The girl groaned as she sat up. After rubbing her eyes awake, she glanced around the room. "Morning already…?"

She let out a short sigh but quickly got over it. She swung her legs off the bed and stood up. However, she nearly fell down but managed to hold onto the ladder before she could hit the ground face-first.

"Ow…" Her legs felt sore, even though that made little sense. The girl, after regaining her balance, glanced at the upper bunk where her roommate was still sleeping.

'Eh, she can wake up on her own.' Seo usually does anyway. If she was still asleep when she came back after her shower, she'd just splash water on Seo's face. Akira, Seo's dog who was sleeping on his pillow next to their bunk bed, was also asleep but she wasn't going to do anything about that; she didn't have the heart for it.

Walking over to her closet, she picked out her clothes for the day. The girl then went to the small bathroom attached to their dorms. It wasn't very big, especially the shower which could barely fit two people. Not unless they were very close together anyway…

'Stop it, Azaka. Now's not the time to think about that.' She slapped herself to get rid of her thoughts but that didn't change the fact that her face was now red.

She ignored that though and started twisting the knobs to adjust the water temperature. Once she set it to the right temperature, she stripped off her sleepwear before stepping into the shower. As the hot water washed over her body, she couldn't help but glance down between her legs and stared at the thin white trickle running down her legs.

She unconsciously began washing it out while her thoughts wandered back to her recurring and (mostly) realistic dreams of him…

A few months ago…

Azaka groaned in exhaustion as she entered her dorm room after a whole day of classes. While she still had a couple of short homework to do and submit by tomorrow, she wanted to take a short nap first. After loudly closing the door behind her and taking off her shoes, she trudged into the main part of her dorm room and towards the closet.

"Arf!"

"Not now, Akira," she sighed, glancing down at her roommate's dog who was now bumping his nose against her leg. "Go sleep or something. Seo will be back soon."

She heard Akira quietly whimper but he went back to lying on his pillow. Azaka would have honestly paid him more attention but she was drained from the day and wanted to take a nap as soon as possible. She could do her school work later.

After changing to more proper clothes to sleep in, Azaka crashed onto her bunk and let out a long yawn. Before she knew it, she dozed off with small snores…

Later that night…

"Mhmm… Onii-san… Eh?" Azaka blinked several times as she woke up from dreamland. It took her a couple of moments before she realised that it was dark because it was already night.

"Damn it, Seo. I thought you'd wake me up." She mentally sighed. Knowing her, though, she probably went to sleep upon returning and playing with Akira for a bit as she usually did.

Now she had a dilemma; she could get up now and do a bit of midnight homework or she could wake up early and do it in the morning before her classes start. While doing the former was safer, she felt so comfortable and didn't want to get out of bed yet.

"Zzz…" She heard quiet snores and, in her drowsiness, assumed it was Seo sleeping above… until she noticed that the snores were coming from next to her.

Azaka glanced down and faintly made out the outline of someone sleeping next to her with their face pressed against her chest. Immediately after, she realised that it was herself that was holding his head in place.

It took a couple of seconds before her mind connected the dots and— "Ah!" —she yelped in shock and pushed them away… and off the bed.

Bang!

"Ow…" A distinctively male voice groaned in pain as Azaka scurried off her bunk— "Ow!" —over whoever it was, and towards the closet. She quickly opened and took out the glove she received from her mentor.

Turning around to face the intruder, Azaka demanded, "Who are you?! How did you get in here?!"

"Gimme… Gimme a second, please." Azaka saw through the dark the intruder getting to his feet. That gave her the time to put on her glove in case and start slowly moving towards the light switch— not taking her eyes off his silhouette.

"Answer me already, who are you?" She questioned as she reached the light switch, using her left hand to locate it. "How and why did you break in here?"

"Um… My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka," the intruder introduced himself in a surprisingly calm if slightly nervous tone. "As for that second question, I frankly have no idea either."

'How am I supposed to believe that?!' It nearly looped around to being believable because of how terrible an answer it is. However, he didn't sound like he was lying so Azaka didn't know what to think.

'There you are!' Azaka felt the light switch and flipped it. The room immediately lit up, letting Azaka see the intruder's face and vice versa— "...What?" "Huh?" —and looks of surprise were plastered on their faces.

To put it as simply as possible, they were looking at near-identical mirrors of themselves; hair and eye colour, similar facial structure, and even the weird hair split on the right side of their face were there. The only easily notable difference was the length of their hair.

"…What?" Azaka blankly repeated herself, unable to look away from Ritsuka's face…

Azaka shook her head as she exited the bathroom, now done with her shower and a towel wrapped around her slightly wet body. She saw that her roommate was still asleep and sighed.

'I'll deal with her in a moment,' she thought and went over to the closet to put on her uniform.

In a few minutes, Kokutou Azaka was ready to go through her day— starting with waking up her lazy roommate —and forget her strange dreams for the time…

A/N: …Look, I have no idea what I'm doing either. Adding to that is this is my first smut— something I very much only read and don't do up to this point— and you have the recipe for absolute disaster.

So why did I decide to write this? To simplify it as much as possible, someone I know on Discord (I won't mention who they are) mentioned how Ritsuka and Azaka looked similar and they had some neat parallels with each other… and for some reason, my brain went "they should fuck" and it lead to this.

In any case, this will be added to my ever-growing list of projects to do because I love to torture myself.

Finally, what'd do you guys think? Besides the obvious, of course; let me know what your thoughts on this newly born crackship and the first chapter of the first fic about it. See you all next time!
