"*sigh* The mission was so hard today too right master?" Boudica's voice rung through the halls as she stretched her armsputting even more pressure on her straining white and gold clothing. The tired master turned his gaze towards the servanta sly smile appearing on his face.
He let out a sigh and shook his head getting the picture off his strained breasts of his mind and going back to his own thoughts. He had subconsciously decided not to answer her question as punishment for her error on today's mission.
He, Boudica, Artoria and Morgan were supposed to Sneak and I repeat SNEAK past a couple of guards when suddenly she stepped on a tree branch and the whole thing turned south. What was supposed to be a ambush became a full-blown war where the four of them exhausted themselves completely.
The three servants had used all of their mana reserves and Ritsuka found himself with three big cuts on his back from a stray wolf that were luckily not that deep and were quickly patched up by Nightingale who off course was quick to reprimand Boudica for her mistake.
As were most servants that were especially worried for their master's health . . .
Glares from the many servants that the two found in their way were all directed at Boudica who was sweating bullets the whole time. Of course she hadn't meant to step on that branch but considering the outcome of said mistake she had it all coming.
Ritsuka wasn't mad at her by any means. He could never get mad at one of his servants just because they made a mistake and in general he found it hard to ever get mad at anyone for whatever reason.
So deciding he had "punished" his servant enough he turned to Boudica, placing a hand on her shoulder. He had made sure to be gentle but the sudden action sent shivers down Boudica's spine who quickly found herself looking up at her master.
"Y-yes master?" She asked timidly, his deep blue eyes and calming smile doing their best to at least make her feel a tiny bit more calm than before. "You know i am not mad at you right?" He asked calmly as the two stopped in the middle of the hallway.
Her eyes widened with her body tensing up at his words. "I see no reason as to why you shouldn't be mad at me" Her answer aligned with her thoughts as she could only blame herself for the bandages he wore under his black T-shirt.
She should have been more careful or at the very least she should have protected him from those wolves that got through her and only her. Artoria and Morgan had held strong; she was the weak one in that situation.
Her head hung low as her master moved his hand from her shoulder to her cheek. He smiled further at the loathing servant and raised her head just enough so he could peer into her eyes and unknowingly peer into her soul.
"Boudica..." Her name was enough to make her eyes watery as she tried to look away. He wouldn't let her do so. "It was a simple mistake" He told her, his voice stern yet warm at the same time.
Though she refused to hear any of it, her eyes becoming even more watery than before as she started to sob lightly. "It was no simple mistake. . . . You got hurt master i-i . .. .i should have been more careful" Her words were forced out of her mouth as she was now fully crying.
She hated her guts for allowing something like this to happen. How could she let her master be hurt by such . . . such . . . such weaklings? How could she let the man who has saved the world be hurt by a simple wolf?
Ritsuka could see how disgusted she felt at herself for letting him get hurt, even if he couldn't understand why she beat herself so much about it. He truly wanted to help the Icenian servant but considering how she acted simple words wouldn't do much.
Ritsuka seeing that this was going nowhere decided to take more drastic actions. He moved closer to her and before Boudica could realize it she found herself in a warm bear hug as his arms made their way around her upper back and lower waist.
Her eyes widened but she found herself unable to move inside his arms, his presence soothed her worries as her body quickly lost all the strength it had. Their max level bond made his warm aura even more alluring as she let herself fall onto him.
Her head was buried in the crook of his neck filling her nostrils with her master's aroma that she loved. Finally letting herself go Boudica could feel her eyes watering as she drowned in the attention her master gave her.
Tears streamed down her face and onto his shirt but he didn't mind, keeping her close to him. "Boudica, there is no reason for you to be crying like this, it was all just a simple mistake" He told her again and again as her hands found their way around his waist.
Being shorter than he was she could only look up into his blue eyes losing herself in them as she had done many times before. It took some time but her worries slowly faded away as she continued to lightly sob into his shoulder.
The contact their bodies made was enough to warm her up completely as she moved her hands back onto his chest. She felt the muscles of his chest tense up as she looked up at him."Thanks" She simply told him, her voice muffledby the fabric of his shirt.
He looked down at her, almost confused but glad that she was at least not crying about what had happened. His grip on her lightened just enough for her to look up and cup his cheeks in her long womanly fingers.
"Thank you. . . for being the perfect master" She told him going onto the tips of her toes and placing a kiss on his cheek. "If you ever and i truly mean ever need someone. . . . come and find me, i will make sure to calm you down fully~" She promised, the tone of her voice sending shivers down his spine.
Ritsuka's mind was quick to race to conclusions as is to be expected of a young man like him. Trying to be discreet he looked her up and down before blushing heavily much to her surprise and pleasure.
The blush on his face was enough to make her giggle as she looked at her master. "Uh, Boudica, what exactly did you mean by that?" He asked but the servant just continued to giggle as she looked at her flustered master.
"I think i will just let him dwell on this a little longer. He does look cute when he is flustered after all~" She thought to herself entertaining the thought to further fluster her master.
Needing a distraction he took a gander at his watch and found himself baffled at how much time had passed. "20 minutes?" He questioned in his mind as he looked down at his smiling servant. Boudica was quick to catch on as she let him go smiling all the way.
"You have some training with Leonidas, don't you?" She asked clasping her hands behind her back further enhancing the strain on her chest. Ritsuka was quick to answer rubbing the back of his head. "Yeah... Scathach ordered it the moment she heard i got hurt"
To which Boudica sighed. "Course she did, you know i think it would have been better if you stayed in bed and . . . oh i don't know did nothing and relaxed for once?" She stated as both servant and master turned their heads to the sound of heels clinging onto the floor.
"I couldn't agree more, master deserves some long awaited rest" Artoria's voice rung through the corridor as the British servant stopped just in front of the pair. Her posture perfect as always as Ritsuka couldn't help but lightly stare at the beauty.
She was in his eyes another form of perfection. Vibrant light blue eyes with short golden hair and the body of a goddess and he was sure she was nothing less of a goddess. "Master don't you think that you should cancel todays training? Your physical health is of the utmost importance"
Artoria said making the master chuckle. "Always so formal" He thought to himself gazing at the two. "You know Artoria here is right . . . you should focus on yourself a bit more, we can manage just fine for a few days" Boudica stated as both women drew closer to Ritsuka.
"It's not that you can't manage, i have learnt that quite well after all, it's just that i would feel bad if you did all of the work around here. Plus you don't have to worry, according to Nightingale i am more than fine."
His answer accompanied by a smile that did little to ease the worries of both the British servants. Boudica had no ulterior motives and simply wanted to see Ritsuka a bit more relaxed even if it was for one day but Artoria she longed for other things.
It had been a while sense the two of them, she and master that is had spent time alone. She didn't care about making light talk just having him next to her alone would be enough to satisfy her.
Not that she would mind being in his arms again. It had almost been a year sense she felt him around her giving her the warmth she longed for. That time he had done it because the both of them were wet and needed to save the warmth.
They were in a Singularity at the time and both she and Ritsuka had found themselves separated from the group after a long fight. Having found a cabin in the woods the two of them decided to rest there for the night and escape the heavy rain that had set in.
To say they were wet would be an understatement and so acting purely on instinct Artoria took her leotard off with Ritsuka looking the other way and Ritsuka took everything except his underwear off leaving their clothes to dry near their fire.
They had slept together in the same bed his back to her with her chest firmly onto his back leaving everything to imagination, their bodies touching and exchanging heat. She had been able to feel him onto her, his muscles being hers to touch for the whole night. That night would forever be engrained in her memory as the night where he was truly hers and hers only.
Sadly it didn't go further than that but who was she to complain? Master . . . no Ritsuka has always been accompanied by beautiful servants and while she is more than glad to be one of them she wished that she was something more to him.
Plus seeing him hug Boudica like that really got her blood riled up. She was one of the servants who was more than just mad at Boudica for letting him get hurt but also blamed herself for his injury.
So seeing her in his arms made her feel empty. She felt like she also deserved to be pampered by her master, to be told that it was all fine, to cry in his arms and finally tell him how she felt but her pride wouldn't let her.
The blush on her face was becoming more apparent by the second as she quickly shook her head. "God what am i thinking . . ." She pondered biting her nail in an effort to calm her urges. She tried to regain focus by looking at something from her environment but she could only look at Ritsuka.
He took up her mind and vision and so she just sighed rubbing her eyes. "Artoria are you okay?" Came through the voice of her master as she quickly put on a smile making sure not to concern him.
"Yes. Just a little tired is all, was not expecting such a big fight today" She answered truthfully making Ritsuka smile as well. God she loved that smile. "Just try not to tire yourself too much i can after all take someone else on the missions if need be" He stated as her heart quickly sank.
"No no no no, that would not be necessary" She answered hurriedly making sure not to lose the few opportunities she had to be alone with him. "Well either way i better get going" He told them both waving goodbye before turning the corner.
As they both lost him from their vision Boudica put on a huge grin on her face and deciding to tease her fellow servant she asked. "Now king of lions may i ask why you so hurriedly denied that or would you like to tell me about that huge blush you were sporting while "ogling" at our master?"
Artoria jumped but only on the inside as she answered as calmly as she could. "No reason just wanted to make sure that master had the best company he could have while on missions" Her answer true and in a way attacking Boudica.
"Fufufu come on Artoria we both like master a lot more than we show so how about i give you a tip" Said the Icenian woman peaking Artoria's interest. "Out of all of us you probably have the highest chance of making our little bachelor yours" Stated Boudica starting to leave the scene.
"After all. . . you are the strongest Servant of us all and going by his reactions i can with utmost certainty say that he likes you a lot more than he shows so. . . . good hunting lioness~" And with that she left leaving Artoria equally flustered and hopeful.
Some Time Later
"Come on master show me some courage!" Shouted Leonidas almost plunging his spear into Ritsuka's heart, missing dew to the young man's reflexes. Ritsuka panted and heaved as he avoided strike after strike from Leonidas.
"Training is not meant to kill your opponent Leonidas!" Shouted Ritsuka as the Greek servant smiled further. "Yes. You are not dead are you master?" Counted the Spartan making Ritsuka chuckle as he wore a battle crazed grin himself.
Ritsuka quickly went on the offensive using his own spear to keep Leonidas at bay as he tried to find a way to break through the servants defense. Leonidas was holding back but, if he were able to catch him off guard-
He was broken out of his thoughts as Leonidas threw his spear at Ritsuka which he dodged. "Ha! I see you have learned to dodge my spears!" Shouted the Spartan and Ritsuka grinned. "Last time i didn't you almost killed me!" He shouted back beginning his attack on the now unarmed Spartan.
"Almost is the key word master" Countered Leonidas easily telegraphing Ritsuka's moves before grabbing his master's spear and yanking it out of his hands. Having lost his melee weapon Ritsuka was quick to raise his hands, his fingers twitching from anticipation as they were open ready to wrestle with the Spartan.
Leonidas grinned and got ready himself. He loved that despite how out skilled Ritsuka was and how much he knew it, he fought to his last breath. A quality only his fellow Spartans were proud to have. In his eyes, Ritsuka would have made for a fine Spartan, one more strategically capable than others.
Around the two men were sitting on the stands multiple other servants. To make it clear the two men fought in a ring without ropes and such. The ground was made of compact sand and only some white paint made the borders of the ring clear.
Leonidas preferred it this way and so did Ritsuka as both smiled at each other fiercely. The crowd consisted of mostly female servants one of which was Scathach another teacher of Ritsuka who found herself smiling at her student.
"Truly a man to be wanted isn't he?" Asked an alluring female voice. Scathach instantly recognized the voice; it belonged to the horned Kiara a woman who Scathach knew quite well wanted master to become hers. Not that she hid it that is.
Scathach turned to face Kiara who was also watching the match. "I assume you have no problem in following our masters movements as have I but. . . . am i the only one that is interested in what he hides behind those clothes of his?" She continued licking her lips.
"I may not have been able to lay my hands on him yet, but i wonder. . . how would his muscles feel?" She pondered making Scathach laugh. "You want him to bed you witch?" Asked the woman with the spear and Kiara giggled.
"Oh please which woman of us wouldn't want it? He has become such a fine man. A man truly worthy of the best" Scathach could only chuckle at the woman's words. She was correct after all, there were many women that wanted Ritsuka to be theirs.
He had helped them all, saved them in different ways.
"He might not have the speed or power of my other students but, his mind and character certainly make up for it. Unlike some of my students Ritsuka knows how to act like a proper man" Scathach said, a statement which was heard from one of her students Cú. "Hey what's that supposed to mean!" He shouted at his teacher only for a spear to be thrown right next to his face.
"Quiet!" Shouted the Celtic woman making Cú shut the hell up and shit back down.
"See what i am talking about?" Kiara could only laugh at Scathach's pain as the latter turned back to look at the man of interest. She sighed and studied her students every move, she had taught him mostly everything he knew and yet it was he that made himself the man he is today.
He had worked hard to be able to fight hand in hand with servants and to be able to actually help in combat and in the battles to save humanity. "I think that a reward for our master is long overdue~" Stated Scathach licking her lips.
"Maybe, but. . . i hope you don't think you are the one that is going to reward him" Came through the voice of Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya, Tamamo for short, who hid her face behind her fan while dressed in her beautiful black kimono.
"And who will it be you sly fox?! You who tried to kill him?!" Scathach protested making the fox woman glare at her. "You did too so don't come at me as if i am the only one that has tried to do so!" Countered Tamamo quickly standing up.
"I have changed my mind about him even if you don't believe it! After all he is the only person i need to prove it to!" Shouted Tamamo as more and more female servants started to get involved.
Raikou and an older version of Kiyohime were quick to voice their opinions on their masters health as were Nightingale, Drake, Quetzalcoatl and many more. Their infighting was a common occurrence inside the boundaries of Chaldea.
Usually Ritsuka would be the one to stop or prevent this kind of infighting from happening as he knew that the results of his servants fighting could be devastating to Chaldea. This time he would also be the one to stop their shouting but in a different way. . . . A painful one.
"Aahhhhhhh!" His scream echoed in their ears as every servant around turned to look at Ritsuka who was eye wide clasping his shoulder. On top of him was Leonidas who looked stunned and honestly sorry for the pain he had caused to his young apprentice.
As the two men were grappling, Leonidas had a pretty good hold on Ritsuka's hand and so to escape said hold Ritsuka tried to stand up more. Leonidas forgetting that Ritsuka was a simple human used a lot more power that he should have dislocating Ritsuka's shoulder and then falling onto said shoulder as both him and Ritsuka lost their footing.
Now Ritsuka gasped on the floor holding his shoulder and smashing his other hand onto the ground. He took one long breath and *Crack* he quickly forced the bone back into place as Nightingale had taught him.
That resulted in another scream of pain which was a lot more dialed down than his last one. Now still panting and in pain he smiled at Leonidas who was quite honestly still shocked at what had happened.
"Next time you decide to rip my arm off tell me" Joked the young master as Leonidas could only chuckle at the young man's irony and pain. "I am sorry master it seems i put a little more strength than i should have there" Answered the Spartan making Ritsuka wheeze as he laughed in pain.
"Yeah . . . it was so little i almost didn't feel it!" Laughed Ritsuka looking at the man that was still onto him. Leonidas appreciating the man's humor and strength laughed as well slowly sitting onto his knees as did Ritsuka.
The two men laughed together doused in sweat and sand as Ritsuka held his shoulder. Leonidas was quick to stand on his feet as he helped Ritsuka onto his own patting him on the shoulder. The one that didn't hurt that is.
Stepping out of the arena Ritsuka was confronted by none other than Scheherazade who carrying a towel bowed down in front of her master. She was the only one that did that. . . ever. And while he had told her multiple times she didn't have to do so she still did it out of respect for him . . . among other things.
Stretching out her arms she offered him the white towel which Ritsuka was quick to grab with his left arm that was not in pain. Bringing it to his face he let it sit there enjoying the smell of a freshly cleaned towel and the cold feel it provided.
Moving it slowly he cleaned his face and then his hair along with his neck and lower hands. Scheherazade watched as he did so, admiring the way his muscles responded to each action and thanking whatever higher being existed that allowed her to do so.
Ritsuka on the other hand was a bit too dense to realize his servants interest and simple contemplated what to do next. "I need . . . a warm bath" He whispered to himself giving the towel back to Scheherazade who, using her magic made it disappear.
"Quite convenient" He told the caster as she giggled smiling at her master. "Making a towel disappear is but a grain of sand to the services that i can provide master" She answered making Ritsuka chuckle as he massaged his shoulder.
"It seems you got hurt during your spar with Leonidas master" Stated Scheherazade making Ritsuka smile warmly as a blush crept up on the Arabian's woman's face. "Would you like me to tend to your wounds?" She asked looking away as Ritsuka blushed as well.
Scheherazade had made it clear from the start that due to her inability to fight she would help master in every other way she could which meant that it wasn't that much out of the blue for her to ask this kind of thing.
Though this time the Arabian servant had more motive than ever to 'service' her master. She knew quite well that the burden he carried by being the master of Chaldea was heavy to say the least.
There were many nights where she had proposed to help him, be it by helping him bathe, sleep or even by helping him vent out a bit but he had always turned her down in an effort not to burden her with something that he said she wouldn't want to do anyway.
"I don't think there is anything to tend to Scheherazade my shoulder is back in it's place and i don't think a couple of bruises are worth your time" He answered bringing a frown on her face. "All of your injuries are worth my time. I just wonder whether or not i am worth your time" She pondered in her mind.
She looked at her master her frown growing just a tiny bit as she thought back to her past. What she had done to survive and how little physical pain she had seen in her life unlike him.
She truly had fallen low groveling to stay alive and yet she now stood in front of the man that had saved the world. Was she worthy to be here? To stand by his side? To have feelings for a man that was sought from goddesses, queens and the female warriors of the past?
She was quickly cast out of her thought as a warm hand was placed on her cheek. "Are you okay?" He asked her, the Arabian servant quickly wiping of her tears from her face while tightly holding his hand.
"Ah *sniff* Yes master i-i was just thinking of a long gone past is all" She told him truthfully as her master drew even closer to her making her heart skip a beat. "That is all that it is Scheherazade a long gone past. Now you are here with me and your friends right?" He asked her as she smiled widely.
"I am but. . . it is only you that interests me master" She again thought in her mind not daring to say something like that while all the other servants were around. The two continued to make light talk as Scheherazade did her best to convince him to let her tend to his wounds.
Though while the two talked a certain Spartan decided to test both his luck and Ritsuka's abilities. And so walking over to his wooden spear he slowly took it up an action that was noticed by Artoria and Alter.
"What are you planning Spartan?" Asked Alter carefully studying the man's movements. "Oh nothing just testing little old master is all" He stated calmly as both knights put their hands on the hilts of their swords.
Alter and Artoria winced as they saw Leonidas look at the spear and then their master who was unaware of what was happening behind his back. Quickly realizing what the Greek man was thinking of doing both women tensed up.
"Don't you dare Leonidas" Warned Artoria griping the hilt tightly as got ready to slice the wooden spear in half. "Dare what? I am not doing anything other than picking up training gear" He stated calmly looking at master.
Leonida's grin was wide as it stood proud upon his face. Flexing his grip on the piece of wood he could only chuckle at the glares that continued to mount up towards him.
"If you throw that and it hits him you are dead" Stated the golden eyed woman as Leonidas merely laughed at her. "Oh don't worry i am not aiming it at him" He told them raising the spear a motion that was noticed by all the servants there.
"What are you doing - Are you crazy?!" They all started shouting as Leonida's grin grew larger. "We shall see!" He shouted throwing the spear with might at Ritsuka and Scheherazade aiming for the dark skinned woman.
He had nothing against her and he knew that she could dodge the spear he just wanted to test his master to see if he could help her dodge the spear.
Master though seemed to have other plans. Cause as the spear drew closer he stayed still raising his right arm which was still in pain and . . . just at the right moment he closed his fist catching something solid as opposed to air.
They all looked at him in shock. The spear was going too fast for him to catch and even if it wasn't he was turned around, he shouldn't have been able to sense it let alone catch the damn thing!
But there it was in his hand. Ritsuka breathed out slowly as he turned to face the shocked Leonidas. Looking at the spear at his hand he let out a long sigh as blood slowly trailed down the shaft of the spear.
As he raised his head his eyes landed on the Spartan who felt the gaze of his master. Fear was the one thing Spartan boys learned from a young age not to feel but in that moment where he locked eyes with Ritsuka, Leonidas could feel it.
True fear . . . fear for his life as all the hate and anger the savor of the world held inside him was allowed to flow out of him. His aura turned black visible to the few mages that could spot it as the air around him changed.
He seemed hostile to everyone as all the servants there recoiled almost drawing their weapons without wanting to do so.
And then. . . it stopped. They all had felt it, the anger and rage the young man held but in no more than a second it was gone. An iconic smile appeared on the young master's face as he finally moved the spear from the position he had caught it in which was in front of Scheherazade's face.
"Be more careful next time Leonidas you might hurt someone" Stated Ritsuka in a slow yet calm tone as he let the spear drop out of his hand holding his previously dislocated shoulder. He seemed to have gone back to normal, as his calm demeaner shown through like usual.
All the servants in Chaldea had either felt or seen a side of their master they never knew existed. A side they never imagined could be hidden behind Ritsuka's usual self but to the man himself nothing really had happened.
He had simply gotten a bit mad at Leonidas for throwing a spear towards an unsuspecting Scheherazade.
"See you guys later I am going to take a bath" He simply stated weaving goodbye and leaving through the door.
Meanwhile all the servants stood there stunned, as Da-Vinci quickly rushed to the arena looking at all the servants. "What the hell was that?!" She asked referring to the surge of negativity she had felt from master. Joan (Jeanne D' Arc Alter) simple looked at Da-Vinci and sighed. "You know the usual hehe . . . master got really angry" She said almost fearfully as Da-Vinci sat there eye wide herself.
Some Time Later At Around 9 p.m.
Ritsuka was currently in his room drying his hair after a long though rather nice bath. He had made sure to take his time on this one and was surprised to find that he had been in the bath for almost an hour.
Luckily for him Chaldea had almost infinite warm water and so he didn't have to be cautious for when it came to using it. Now with only a towel around his waist he looked at himself in the mirror slowly passing his hand over his chin and neck.
He could both see and feel the hair growing there and deciding he didn't like it, was quick to pick up the razor. After applying shaving cream he made quick work of his growing beard with the razor using his proficiency with sharp weapons and managing not to cut himself.
After smiling at his own accomplishment, of not cutting himself that is, he hurriedly hopped towards his wardrobe making sure to make as little contact as he could with the cold ground as he reached the carpet that surrounded his bed and of course his wardrobe.
Picking out his favorite set of pajamas, which were riddled with horses, versions of the Excalibur and knights clad in white armor that were also coincidently the ones Artoria had gifted him last Christmas, he fell onto his bed burying his head straight into the cold and soft pillow he so loved.
Lying down in a starfish position he let his body relax while absorbing all the sweet relief his cold pillow had to offer before it became warm from the heat it absorbed from his face. Turning around he looked at the ceiling of his room while yawning and smiling.
He was truly fooling around but considering how little he got to do of that he enjoyed every second of it.
*Tick*
*Tock*
*Tick*
*Tock*
*Tick*
"God, i am bored" He exclaimed out loud while looking at the vast array of books he could read. Did he want to read them? Not really. . . but you know. . . he kinda had nothing better to do.
Many of these books were given to him by his servants, some of which they had written themselves and others they found interesting or just amusing. So deciding he had nothing better to do he closed his eyes and picked one randomly.
Then he opened his eyes and saw it was a Romance novel that the lovely librarian Murasaki had given him. He knew that Murasaki was an expert for when it came to writing romance and so he did the one thing all guys should do at that moment.
He put it down and picked another book about a murder in the fucking Nile. Why? 'Cause Ritsuka was in no mood to read about a happy couple and cry at his own misfortune nah ah! Not this guy. Poirot was far more interesting than any high school boy, that he was sure of.
A Few Meters Outside of Ritsuka's Room.
Loud clinging noises could be heard from all around the corridor as the king of lions walked hastily towards her master's room. As she drew closer and closer to his door her mind was filled with questions.
Why was it that master had stored up so much anger inside of him? Was there something bothering him? But most importantly, could she help in any way shape or form?
She didn't know what kind of pain he was in but she had made a vow to protect him and she would do so even if she had to protect him from himself. She was ready to be shouted at and to shout back if need be.
To witness Ritsuka at his lowest, crying loathing whatever! That beautiful. . . damned smile he had put up at the end while leaving must have been a façade. Ritsuka had been become too good at hiding his emotions and thoughts from her that was for sure.
She wanted to help him though nonetheless. And so steeling herself up for what she was about to see she knocked on her master's door. "Master could you please allow me to come in?" She asked in a calm voice readying herself for denial of entry.
"Artoria is that you?" Came the voice from inside and the knight quickly answered positively surprised that his voice sounded so calm and peaceful. "Yes Master it is me now could you please open the door?" She asked calmly once more but no answer came.
She had honestly expected this. It was possible that at the realization that She was the one that had come to his room to talk to him, he would shy away even more. Maybe he hated her and her power.
Maybe she was simple not his type and he preferred other types of women. Shorter than her so it wouldn't be as imposing when talking to them. Better 'equipped' than her as there were a few other servants like that. Or maybe he liked older or younger women even than her and him.
So many possibilities and yet these had nothing to do with him and his pain no. These were all the worries of a woman in love with someone who she didn't know if he felt the same way she did. She had a lot of competition yes but was she really so arrogant to think she would be worthy for him?
Being pressured by negative emotions and thoughts she had quickly fallen apart. She WAS ready to see him at his worst as she found herself drowning in a sea of Jealousy and sadness for no reason.
"I really should go" She told herself but it was at that moment that the door opened revealing Ritsuka smiling widely all nice and ready, smelling fresh from his bath and wearing the pajamas that she and she alone had bought for him.
Her mood skyrocketed seeing him like this. Healthy, smiling and wearing something that almost marked him as hers. Maybe she was going a bit too far with that but she didn't care as the rush she got from seeing him in those clothes was glorious none the less.
Smiling widely she stared at the young man who was honestly confused from presence. "Artoria is something wrong?" He asked, snapping her out of her thoughts as the British woman simple giggled.
"No why would there be Master?" She asked with a wide heartwarming smile that made Ritsuka change into a more fitting shade of red. "Well. . . um. . . it sounded as if something was happening and you really needed to talk to me or something" He answered as Artoria stayed silent.
She was though internally screaming herself hoarse but kept her composure on the outside making him even more confused. "Artoria do you actually want something or-" "Yes! Sorry Master i honestly froze there for a second could i come inside?" She interrupted him as the young master got out of the way for her.
Looking around Artoria found nothing wrong with his room, it was organized and clean showing that her worries for his mental stability were unreasonable at best. "It's gotten quite cold hasn't it Artoria?"
What was it again? Ah yes light talk. Ritsuka was trying to make light talk with her another sign of how well he truly was mentally.
Smiling the British servant turned to face her master once more only to find that he had disappeared into thin air. Worrying for a sec she searched around the room only to find him in the small kitchen the room had making something.
Walking over to him she found that he was boiling water meaning only one thing. "Master you don't have to" She protested, if it could even be called protesting, but he simply smiled at her. "But you like my tee don't you?" He asked making the servant sigh while smiling.
He already knew the answer to his question but it wouldn't hurt to get further confirmation. Plus, he loved making Artoria pout angrily at him as it made her all the more cute.
"That i do but. . ." Pausing she looked at his smirk only to chuckle in defeat. "Fine. Do as you wish, you never listen to me anyway master" She teased, as the master found himself mouth wide open.
"Isn't that a bit mean? Also, i have told you multiple times that you can call me by my name when we are alone" He told her as Artoria drew closer to him. Finding the wall behind him to be just perfect she leaned back on it taking peaks at his muscled back and neck.
"Is that so Ritsuka?" She asked as the two chuckled in unison waiting for the tee to be done. Turning around he found her blue eyes staring right into his as she let herself sit onto the wall. She looked majestic to say the least, clad in her leotard that left little to imagination and her robe having discarded her armor pieces.
Making sure not to look too much at her jaw dropping body he struggled to find anything to talk about with her. He knew he wanted to chat but about what was the thing that evaded him but then he realized something.
"Artoria aren't you cold in those clothes?" He asked intriguing the British servant that looked at him questioningly. "Well, no not really why?" She asked as he simply shrugged his shoulders. "The temperature has started to drop again and I have never seen you in anything else other than that leotard, your swimsuit and your armor so i wasn't sure if you even had anything else"
He answered going back to the water that had finally boiled letting Artoria think about what he had just said. "It is true that i have never wore something else around Ritsuka" She thought clasping her hands together. "Time to change that"
And with one flash of blue light Artoria's outfit had completely changed without Ritsuka realizing a thing. Taking inspiration from some magazines she had read and what she knew of Ritsuka's personal tastes she created her outfit for the day.
Smiling at her new look she truly felt warmer than before as the clothes she had picked out were a lot more cozy. She also felt more at home having shed her battle uniform for civilian clothes.
Ritsuka having finished with preparing the tea turned around only to find himself staring eye wide at Artoria. She wore a long beige sweater that hugged her form nicely and ended just above her knees along with tight blue jeans that showed of her muscled legs and big ass and no socks for some reason that he did not question.
A blush quickly engulfed Ritsuka's face as he could only look the other way worrying Artoria. Maybe she didn't know what he liked after all. "Do i not look good Ritsuka?" She asked drawing closer to him as she placed her hand on his shoulder. Barely turning around he looked at her dead in the eyes.
"You look perfect Artoria. It was a just a bit too perfect for me to take in at once" His answer made her squirm in delight as her heart and mind melted from his compliment. "Ah! He is so cute!" Overwhelmed by happiness she jumped onto his back hugging him from behind and placing her head just on top of his dew to her height.
"I am really happy you think that" She whispered as the young master found himself blushing up a storm dew to the fact that her body was pressing up against his. Though as the seconds went on he found himself wanting to continue this hug of theirs more and more only with a simple change.
"Artoria could i turn around to face you?" He asked sporting a huge blush as she let him do so without question. Slightly looking down at him Artoria smiled widely before embracing him once more with his head buried in the crook of her neck.
The two stayed quiet for a while not wanting to disturb the other. The warmth and attention Artoria was seeking was finally given to her as she basked in the warmth of his body enjoying every second of having him in her arms.
Her hands rested on his back and waist keeping him as close as possible to her body much to their pleasure. Looking up at her, Ritsuka could see the smile on her face, her light blue eyes looking down at him warmly.
"The tee might get cold" She stated though neither made an effort to move. Looking down at her master and then at his bed she made her proposal clear as day to Ritsuka and the two reluctantly let each other go.
Artoria could immediately feel the warmth she so loved leave her and decided to search for it once more the moment their asses landed on that bed. Taking a slow sip of her tea she felt a shiver run down her spine as the warmth it provided filled her up.
Smiling she followed Ritsuka's form to his bed and placed her cup on a nearby desk. Ritsuka did the same and having finally sat down again he sighed in relief. "Still in pain i see" She commented making the young master rub the back of his head.
"Yeah... after my injury in the singularity sparring with Leonidas really put the nail in the coffin." Sympathizing with the young man she gently placed her hand on the edge of his shirt before looking at him.
"May i take a look?" She asked, shocking the master at how calm she looked asking him this. Though in the end he could quite deny her request and only asked for her help while taking of his shirt.
Now laying on his front, his back was fully exposed to her as she slowly took notice of all the scars he had and the ones he had just gained. Straddling his waist, she sat on top of him while making sure not to put all of her weight on his waist as not to crush it. A servants weight is after all much higher than you would expect despite their appearance.
Being content with her position she lowered her hands she rested her hands onto his back sending cold shivers down Ritsuka's spine. Not because he was scared but because her hands were a lot colder than he had expected.
Not saying anything he let her trace his spine letting out low gasps once in a while. Deciding to be a little more forward with her advances Artoria used her hands to roam around on his back. She traced scars and muscles alike leaving his gasping at how amazing the whole sensation felt.
Her nails would graze his skin, which having been covered with bandages for most of the time had become a bit more sensitive than usual.
Deciding she wanted to hear a lot more than just low gasps she lowered her body onto his placing her hands around his head. Once fully onto him she could barely see the blush that was on her master's face as he did his best to hide it from her.
Leaning down next to his ear she found her voice more slurty and needy than normal, the composure a king like her would have having been shed for her one and only love. "Turn around Ritsuka~" She whispered giving a light bite to his ear.
Her actions surprised both her and Ritsuka as he turned around feeling that it was impossible to deny her kingly request. Finally face to face she let her legs intertwin with his as she grasped his cheek with one hand while maintaining her balance with the other.
"A-art-oria aren't you a-a bit too close?" He asked chuckling as the British woman simply smiled at her prey. After all she was a lion, a lion that had never eaten a meal in it's life and it was about time she did.
"Ritsuka how do you feel about me?" She asked her eyes revealing their hidden lust as she gently ran her finger onto his cheek. The truth Ritsuka did not say opting for the safe route as if not to get rejected by the king of lions.
"Wel-l i-i. . . i enjoy our time together a lot especially when it's just the two of us. . . i value you a lot as a great friend and ser- "Just a friend?" She interjected seeing through his lie easily. Not knowing what to say Ritsuka remained silent as Artoria grinded her body onto his.
Both let out low moans and Ritsuka moved his hand to grasp her own only to find it trapped under hers. He wasn't going to escape her grasp not again. This night was the night she told him how she truly felt.
"Master. . . . Ritsuka, i have seen the way you look at me, stealing glances at my body, blushing in my presence, talking about me as if i am the greatest piece of art work you have ever seen" She paused letting out all the warm air that had built up inside her.
Breathing heavily she positioned her face just above his and inches from his lips. "All those things make me feel hot inside and I. . .. want to feel hot with you Ritsuka" Still lusty as ever her eyes peered into his soul that quaked with each word.
He had by now caught on having been caught up in the fire that burned inside both of them but he couldn't quite move. His injured hand laid dormant and his good arm along with his legs were trapped into hers.
"Now let me ask you again what i truly want to know Ritsuka. . . do you love me as i do you?" She asked as Ritsuka looked away giving a weak nod as his response. That wouldn't do, she wanted to hear him say it, say that he loved her.
Gently forcing him to look at her she asked once more only this time slower. He tried to look away but found himself unable to do so, by her soft loving touch. Gulping down he readied himself and answered her question.
"I-i love you Ar-rtoria, i-i just didn't think you would ever love me" His little confession made her smile as licked her lips. "Well you don't have to worry about that anymore. . . darling~" And with that she lowered her lips onto his finally kissing the man she loved.
Their bodies grinded against each other as their kiss got all the more wild, driven by lust and the fire that burned deep within them. Neither wanted to stop as Artoria found herself hooked onto the taste of his lips.
Wanting to get a better taste of her pray she pinched his neck, forcing his mouth open that was quickly occupied by her tongue. Their tongues battled in his mouth with neither being the victor, their lust for each other being equal.
Parting for air both panted like dogs before meeting again for another kiss that once again led to their tongues meeting in the middle as both enjoyed the other's warmth and taste.
Artoria's hand released Ritsuka's as she placed her own onto his good shoulder playing with muscle and skin, that she molded with her strong fingers. She let herself go, touching every part of his upper body that had piqued her interest as he let out low moans inside her mouth.
Wanting her to feel the same pleasure he did, he raised his hand to her sweater clutching her side and bringing her body completely onto his which much to her surprise he easily handled. His hand slowly found it's way inside her sweater where he proceeded to do what she had done to him getting the same thrilling results in the form of low moans.
But that wouldn't do for Ritsuka. Slowly moving his hand down he reached for her ass, grabbing the mountain of flesh and muscle, palming it relentlessly. "So soft~" He thought to himself as Artoria's moans got louder.
Having his manly hands squeeze and play with her ass made her all the more wet as she freely moaned inside his mouth. Breaking the kiss and smiling down at him she quickly clasped the edges of her sweater and with one swift move took of the piece of clothing letting out a relieved sigh.
Ritsuka's shock was evident as he found out that she wore no bra and simply had let her breasts free. "That fabric had been rubbing against my nipples all this time" She said evident by how hard they were.
"Want to do the same? I know how much you love these orbs of mine, i have after all caught your gaze on them multiple times" She exclaimed guiding his hand onto her orb as she let out a sweet moan.
Mesmerized he said nothing and only acted on instinct grasping her breasts with both hands as he sat upright with a swift motion of his own. "They-y are really. . . um springy" He said, his blush evident by the reddish tint on his ears.
His movements were slow, fingers buried deep in her fleshy breasts that were a bit too big for him to fully grasp. He had heard from the many male servants that the breasts of a woman carry the dreams of any man in the world.
And god damn where they right!
Ritsuka kneaded her breasts with interest and love, enticing light moans from the British woman that struggled against the teasing actions of her lover. Without knowing it, Ritsuka slowly drove Artoria insane as his touch was just enough to keep her excited but not exactly to pleasure her fully.
"R-ritsuka" She voiced out garnering the attention of the young man. "You-u can be a-a bit more rough if you want" She commented between light pants as his fingers grazed her sensitive nipples.
"O-okay" He answered increasing the force on her breasts making Artoria shudder with pleasure. The rougher motions along with his previous teasing had made her unattended nipples really sensitive, waiting to be played with.
"Such manly hands" She commented as Ritsuka brought his face closer to her floating orbs. Taking a look at her red nipple and deciding it needed some attention he buried his head onto her breast placing said nipple in his mouth.
Using his tongue and teeth he flicked and bit her nipple as she forced his head further onto it. Moaning out his name, she rubbed herself onto him more and more grinding their covered loins onto each other.
"Even-n if you s-suc-k so much nothing wil-l come out!" She shouted between moans but it didn't seem to phase him. His tongue continuing to play with the tip of her sensitive nipples while his teeth softly grazed them.
Pulling back from her right nipple he went to the left which he found as tasty as the right one, biting and licking as he had done before and providing Artoria with ample amounts of pleasure. Bringing his hand up he grasped her free nipple between his fingers kneading it relentlessly as she could only moan in response.
"You don't have to be so rough my breasts are all yours!" She exclaimed contrary to her previous comments but to no avail as he continued to knead and play with her chest for some time making her all the more wet and all the more horny.
Her orgasm had slowly been building up with her moans growing in both volume and the other kind of volume. "Ritsuka, please don't stop ah~ just a bit more!" She pleaded as he increased his speed quickly pushing her over the edge as Artoria came from her breasts.
Artoria was left a shivering mess smiling widely in his arms as his mouths and hands left her breasts. With her hands comfortably around his head she leaned back from the pleasure she had just felt smiling at Ritsuka.
"I never thought that i would come just from my breasts" She stated leaning down for another kiss with her lover who by now had regained motor factions and did things consciously. "I never thought i would make you cum just from your breasts" He said making her giggle as she planted soft feathery kisses onto his neck and collarbone.
Artoria waited for her orgasm to calm down fully continuing her kisses before she mounted herself off of him much to his dismay. Walking a tiny bit away he questioned her motives only to find himself staring eye wide as she took of her jeans.
"So beautiful" He thought out loud making her giggle. She was slow in her movements making sure to show him how the jeans struggled against her muscled thighs and ass and dropping the clothing after it had reached her knees.
Smiling widely she traced her own hands up her body making his erection throb in the tight confines of his pants. Finally naked, he could only stare at her as her beauty made his brain freeze entirely.
Beautiful long legs that led up to baby making hips, a shaved pussy and a waist that was the start to her hourglass figure, her big breasts, some of the biggest in Chaldea and off course her face.
Cute smile and lovely blue eyes along with her golden hair that reached the middle of her back when freed from it's usual style. Artoria was truly a beautiful woman, one that was walking seductively towards him.
"If you stare so much you are going to make me feel embarrassed" She teased placing her hands on each side of his hips as she leaned into his face. Her ass easily visible from behind her back he could only sigh a warm breath of lust.
"I can't help it when you look so sexy" His compliment made her blush and fueled her actions further as she leaned in for a kiss that was way too quick for the both of them. Ritsuka wanted more and reached for her face but Artoria had other plans and softly grasped his hand into hers.
Pulling to it to her face, she planted soft kisses all along his palm and slowly went up to his forearm before stopping there. Artoria noted in her mind that if it weren't for Ritsuka she would never have been able to experience what she was experiencing right now.
Putting on a show for her lover was something she never thought she would do and most probably wouldn't have done were it any other man other than Ritsuka. After all, he was special and deserved a lot more than just this.
Lowering her hand she found the tip of his hard member, guiding her nails over it and eliciting and quick yet pleasing gasp. "Someone's excited" She stated continuing her motions as he struggled to keep a straight face. Smiling to herself she grabbed the edges of his shorts and pulled them down revealing a tent in his underwear.
Doing the same as before she got even greater results with Ritsuka letting out low moans that made her want to tease him all the more than before. "I can't believe you are this hard for me darling~" She teased finally taking off his underwear and letting the whole of his eight and a half inched out of his pants.
The length of his "sword" surprised her as her eyes widened ever so slightly. It wasn't a bad surprise for sure just a surprise.
Grasping the pulsating rod she wondered if this was what the other female servants were talking about. The holy lance that could brake even the strongest of women. It was truly in front of her and being fueled by her master's and her own emotions she found herself stroking it.
The first strokes were slow and teasing as her fingers grazed his veiny shaft with interest and lust. "You are quite big Ritsuka" She commented grazing the whole shaft and head with her nails before going back to stroking it. Just a bit faster this time.
"Does it feel better than when you do it on your own?" She asked with his face become peach red the moment he actually processed the question. "Defin-etely" He voiced out making her giggle in response.
"I am glad~" She answered her blue eyes watching carefully for his responses to her stroking and her ears catching each and every one of his moans.
In all actuality even lust based illusions couldn't compare to Artoria's hand that currently stroked him shaft. Her movements had gotten even faster and without any need to slow down she kept her pace steady unlike he would have done.
Having lost himself in the pleasure of her hand Ritsuka didn't realize how close her mouth had gotten to his cock resulting in a loud moan as she guided her tongue up it's length.
Taking the moan as confirmation she started licking the whole of erection while stroking the parts she wasn't licking. His balls would also receive their fair share of pleasure as she cupped them in her hand and brought them immense pleasure.
Moaning freely Ritsuka fell back dew to the pleasure he felt clutching his sheets and gasping his heart out.
The taste of his shaft was addicting to Artoria as were his moans and as time passed she wanted more of both. Building up courage she finally placed the whole of his shaft into the mouth starting from the tip and going to the base of his cock in one swift motion.
Soft moisty lips and gag reflex suppressed she moved her head up and down licking the underside of his cock which from what she guessed is the most sensitive. Moaning out her name Ritsuka moved his hand onto her head forcing her back down onto his cock faster each time she came up.
Adjusting to the force on her head she did her best to pleasure him with her first blowjob which had the young man screaming himself hoarse.
"Artoriaaaa i am clo-o-s-se" He exclaimed which only prompted the blonde king to go faster than before bringing him closer and closer to cumming. A few more licks and bobs of her head finally pushed him over the edge as he came inside her mouth releasing his white searing hot cum.
Artoria not wanting to waste her master's essence and mana swallowed all of the white substance the man had to offer feeling Ritsuka's mana, flow into her body and core warming her up. Looking up at her lover her blue eyes met with his as he tried to regain himself.
Having caught most of it in her mouth Artoria wiped herself clean, using her fingers to scoop up the cum on her chest and face before putting it all into her mouth. Ritsuka watched with wonder as she swallowed his substance while smiling lustfully at him.
"So sexy" He said once more making the British servant giggle as she looked at his panting yet happy form. Looking down she once again smiled widely before licking her lips.
"Still hard and full of mana i see" She said referring to his cock that was still hard as ever and his balls that were filled with well, mana. Sitting up she moved one of her fingers to her clit playing with herself and trying to sate the fire that burned within her.
"I think it's about time we got to the main event yes?" She asked with a raspy voice more horny than ever and ready to become one with Ritsuka who couldn't agree more or hold back anymore.
Grabbing her arm Ritsuka forced Artoria back onto the bed who, while surprised did nothing to stop him. Laying down before him she shyly spread her legs showing him how wet and ready she was to finally be one with him.
Gulping down Ritsuka took in all of the beauty the blonde had to offer before moving up for a kiss. He missed her soft lips onto his and so did she. The couple kissed once more as he positioned himself just above her wet hole.
Artoria used her hand to guide him to her organ placing the tip just in front of her velvet lips which he slowly opened. Slowly yet surely he entered her reaching all the way to her womb but no more.
Her insides felt warm, really warm as they slowly encased his shaft lacing it with her juices that acted as a lubricant for the both of them.
"You are perfect~" She exclaimed in bliss as the two made out, run out of breath and made out again. Getting used to the feeling of having herself filled up Artoria held Ritsuka close having wrapped her legs around his waist.
"We are finally one Ritsuka" She said while smiling, drunk from the lust and the love that was bottling up inside of her. Smiling back and drunk from the same emotions Ritsuka started to pull out slowly.
He pulled out until only his tip was inside and then slammed his hips back onto hers enticing a loud moan from his partner. He did it again and again slowly building up a rhythm as Artoria moaned out his name.
Burying his head into her breasts he once again found her rock hard nipples and decided to take them into his mouth pleasuring the blonde woman further. Their moans filled the air as Ritsuka increased his speed, relentlessly ramming his hips onto Artoria's.
"Gee-eze yo-ou really love m-y breasts don't you~?" She asked before placing her one hand onto his head keeping him close to her sweaty body.
The two lost themselves inside the sea of lust that had built up and would occasionally kiss between Ritsuka's thrusts and Artoria's moans.
"Fuck, Fuck ,Fuck~"
Artoria cursed as she came around his shaft lacing it with even more of the juices. Her tightness increased with each second and after a few more thrusts he felt himself getting closer and closer to cumming.
Raising himself from her breasts he got into the mating press position where the tip of his cock managed to kiss the entrance of her womb with each thrust. Her legs on top of his shoulders she felt his entire weight on top of her dominating her entire form.
She could theoretically take charge of the situation whenever she wanted dew to her brute strength but given how good it felt she was satisfied with being the submissive partner for this night, after all there were many more nights to come.
Feeling his cock swell up inside her she tightened herself as much as she could bringing even more pleasure to the both of them.
He warned Artoria of his impending release but she didn't care, servants couldn't get pregnant either way and so she used her legs to lock him in place making sure that all of his sperm would end up inside her womb.
"I am cumming!"
He shouted gritting his teeth as all of his essence filled Artoria's womb who was also cumming making her hole all the more tight than before.
Rope after rope of cum flooded her walls and after a few seconds her womb was full of his mana/sperm. Coming out of their cumming fits Artoria and Ritsuka kissed once more as he slowly pulled out of her.
The two sat back holding hands while shivering and twitching in delight as their orgasms calmed down. Though Artoria being a servant and all, was the first one to recover and deciding she wanted to milk Ritsuka just a tiny bit more she leaned down and cleaned up his cock taking in all of her and his juices.
The sudden attack on his already sensitive cock made him spurt out another round of hot sperm which Artoria took all in.
Having finally been drained of all of his cum Ritsuka's erection calmed down and so did he and Artoria who were both able to actually process what they had done.
"I love you Artoria" He exclaimed making her giggle in response as she placed her lips onto his. "I love you too Ritsuka"
The two kissed once more their kiss once more filled with love rather than lust. Moving up onto his lap she wrapped her legs around his waist and placed her hands onto his head and back playing with the dark mess that was his hair.
Leaning into his ear Artoria expressed her love for him once more before letting his head sink into her chest. It was past midnight and now the couple barely had any energy to move more so have a bath or do anything else physically taxing.
Deciding to do the minimum they changed the bed sheets and having put on new ones got into their bed. The sweat on their bodies didn't bother them as they both laid down completely naked.
Wanting to snuggle, Artoria backed up with her back firmly onto his chest and getting the clue Ritsuka wrapped his hands around her waist. Content with her position Artoria and her love were ready for bed weren't it for one not so little thing.
"Ritsuka?" Asked Artoria as she could feel his erection pressing up against her ass. "I got hard when i saw your naked, sweaty body under the moonlight"
Sighing the servant turned around and after a long kiss with her master decided to accompany him for the whole night as they sated their desires without an end in sight.
