"The archer with the red coat...Fighting at his side brings both joy and sadness" The King of Knights answered shyly to one of her Masters,who happened to look a lot like golden eyes and vermillion hair. They were in Gudako's room discussing Artorias faltering facade everytime she encountered the Red Archer.
"Is there a reason?..." Gudako asked
"Yes, I w-was summoned To the 5th Fuyuki Holy Grail War of another universe. My Master was a boy named Shirou Emiya, he was selfless and was a great cook, all the qualities of worthy consort" she muttered the last part but Gudako caught on.
"So you fell in l-love with him?" she asked shyly "I m-mean you don't have to answer if you don't wa-"
"Yes, I did, although he was foolish in trying to challenge a Servant..."she chuckled "He was every good thing I would ask for in a Master."
"What did he look like...If you don't mind me asking?"she rubbed her neck embarrassedly
"To be honest,he looked a lot like you, Master... golden eyes, vermillion hair spiked up and a positive personality." she let a single tear fall "H-However Archer is h-him... At least an older version from a parallel timeline.E-Everytime I see him, it reminds me of him" Gudako widened her eyes at the mention of his traits and took on a sad look but quickly regained her composure. 'Father'
Gudako moved in for an embrace and soothed her "Let it out Artoria...It's going to be alright."Artoria looked up at her,more tears spilling from her eyes, tightening the embrace "Thank you, Master" There was silence until...
*KNOCK KNOCK* *FWOOSH*The doors to her room opened up. Archer came in.
"Master, sorry for the disturbance but your brother requires your assistance at Da Vinci's lab" he bowed.
"Oh, well thank you, Archer" she looked back at Artoria,who was wiping away the tears "Please talk to him, it might give you some peace" She got up and left the room
Archer turned to follow her...
"SHIROU, please, don't leave" he turned around,eyes widened, looking at her beautiful face stained with tears.
"A-Artoria, I don't deserve that name, I'm not the same as him" he looked down a frown etched on his face.
She stood up and hugged him as tightly as he could "It doesn't matter what you did to become a Heroic Spirit, you said that we would reunite one day"she looked up with a crouched down and reciprocated the hug.
"I-I couldn't save you Saber, by the time I became a Hero of Justice...I had to kill a few to save thousands and even then I had to kill and kill. I'm no hero, I'm a mons-"
He was caught off guard by her lips pressing with his, sloppy but nonetheless It was filled with Hope,Love,Desire and he hasn't felt for millennia.
"Saber,I-"
"I love you, will always be my scabbard and I your-"
"Sword" ruffling his hair down, he smiled.
"Dear King of Knights, if you deem me worthy to be yours" he took a deep breath,a tint of red grazing his cheeks "Than I shall be by your side forever"
Once again he was pulled into a tight embrace, however, Artoria had a smirk plastered on her face "Well my scabbard, how about you make it up to me by...making a HUGE FEAST!"
He chuckled "Never change, my Love"
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body and fire my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unaware of loss
Nor aware of Gain
Withstood pain to create weapons,waiting for her arrival
I have regrets,though they are quelled by her presence
So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works
