Disclaimer: I do not own the Fate series or any of its characters.
Nitocris is desperate. She truly is desperate to be with the one she wants to protect all her life. Scheherazade, the Servant that fears death. Well, she used to until Nito used a talisman on her to prevent anything that would kill her. And Schera is truly grateful for that. Nitocris herself is also grateful...to have met someone at the last minute and then finding that she herself is a good teammate during the Summer Death Race. And in the end, Nitocris finally told her true feelings and Schera accepted them easily.
They dated for as long as Nito could remember and worked together during missions and taking out Singularities. And then one day, Nito proposed to have Schera as her Queen and the storyteller gladly accepted that as well. However, Nito knew it would take a lot more than just an offer. Even though she cast that talisman on Schera, she still wants to protect her no matter what. She is like a big sister to her. And now that they are lovers, her desire has become stronger. She wants to show Schera how devoted she is to her.
One day, after another farming mission, Nitocris approaches Ritsuka-chan down the Chaldea halls.
"Master!" she calls out.
Ritsuka-chan and Mash turn toward the little Pharaoh.
"What can I do for you?" The cute redhead asks.
Nito's face goes a dash darker with a blush as she taps her index fingers together. Her jackal ears droop down from the embarrassment.
"W-well...I want to request something..." Nito replies. She is sweating, nervous about what she is about to do.
Ritsuka-chan and Mash exchange looks and then take a few steps closer to the little Pharaoh.
"Sure thing," Mash says. "Anything."
"Ehehe! Nito's blushing~" Ritsuka-chan giggles.
"H-hey...!" The little Pharaoh pouts adorably. "Anyways, um...the thing is..."
*At The Beach*
Waves come and go with the soft splashing of the water. Seagulls fly around, scattered and the bright warm orange sun shines from the horizon. Schera looks toward it with a fist on her chest. She is still clad in her default outfit, but she is also wondering why in the world she got ray shifted to this place. She looks around to see that nobody is present at this hour. The sun is setting anyways. She looks down at her golden high heels as the small waves softly brush against her feet. It's a good feeling, honestly.
Just then, Schera hears some footsteps approach her. Turning around, her jet black hair swaying from the movement, she sees her beloved, now in her Second Acension Assassin Class outfit, her long white cloak fluttering in the wind. Schera almost swoons at how the lighting from the sun makes Nito's features stand out.
Schera takes a few steps closer to her lover. "Nito...what is all this...?" she asks, her oh soft voice barely heard from the rushing waters and seagulls calling out.
Nito blushes as she clutches her cloak. Her jackal ears twitch from hearing Schera's beautiful voice. "Th-this is supposed to be um...a special moment...between the two of us..."
"What do you mean?" Schera asks.
Nito's jackal ears droop down as she thinks back earlier at Chaldea.
*Flashback*
"A proposal~!?" Ritsuka-chan exclaimed.
"S-Sempai! Not so loud!" Mash panicked, flailing her arms wildly.
"Y-yes..." Nito nodded, fiddling with her fingers. "You see...back at the pool, I proposed or rather offered Schera to be my queen. And she accepted. But...I felt that wasn't enough. I have to propose to her in order to make the whole thing work."
"So where do you want to propose?" Mash asked.
"The beach..." Nitocris said quietly.
"What's that~?" Ritsuka-chan said.
"I said the beach!" Nito shut her eyes tightly upon shouting her response. "I do not know where else romantic I want to propose her in!"
Ritsuka-chan giggled. "Of course, of course! I will confirm with Da Vinci-chan to ray shift you both to that locaction~"
"Tell us if it goes well~" Mash said with a smile.
*End of Flashback*
"I see..." Schera says. "You wanted to...ummm..."
"Schera...let me speak!" Nito says. She musters up all her courage to stand tall and approaches her beloved, taking her hands in her own. "Listen...if you would please...marry me...!"
"E-eh...!?" Schera's eyes widen in surprise.
"M-marry me, Schera!" Nito says, leaning a bit closer. "Listen, ever since that Summer Death Race, you have been a great partner to me. But then, that partnership became a crush...and soon love. When both of us won that race, I felt that it was proper for me to confess my love to you. And you happily accepted. We have dated for quite a long time. And now that we're at this point, I felt that it was proper to propose to you."
"Nito...you..." Schera is at a loss for words.
Nitocris smiles as she steps closer, letting the rush of the waters brush against her bare feet. "Schera...let's be together for as long as we live. You may be immune to death but...I still want to protect you. Someone may be clever enough to break my spell and kill you and I don't want that. Schera...let's make this last for a life time."
Schera's eyes brim with happy tears. "Oh, Nito...I love you so much..."
"I love you, too, Schera~" Nito says.
They embrace each other and then lean in to kiss each other on the lips to seal the deal. Under the beautiful sunset and the sound of the rushing waters and the light wind blowing, making Schera and Nito's beautiful hair, plus the white cloak sway gracefully.
Scheherazade and Nitocris...are going to get married...at last.
