Their Fates Embrace

Saturday Morning - October 8

Arturia found herself walking into the subway alone for no particular reason at all. It just seemed that her mind kept telling her and telling her to go out and take a subway ride for some odd reason. There was nothing that she had to do, for she was off of work so she decided that there was no reason not to go through the city. Plus, she could get some exercise.

The subway started to move, as she felt a slight vibration in her pocket. She looked at her phone to see that it had been Jeanne who was texting her. Don't be worried, if I'm not there whenever you get back. I'm going out for some coffee. It's Starbucks Saturday, Saber, the petite blonde read, chuckling at the silly alliteration as well as the old nickname she was given when she was little.

She heard the subway door open, but she ignored it. That is until a familiar voice came out after they closed. "Okay, now I'm just worried", the voiced rang, a low, handsome sound. Arturia looked towards the man who spoke and was not surprised to see the usual raven-haired Irishman, whom she kept on meeting nearly every day of the week for some reason. Saber couldn't help but laugh. Diarmuid started to laugh himself and looked at her. "I swear. It's like we're reliving this moment every day now", he chuckled. Arturia nodded.

"That's because we do relive the same exact moment every day, Dia. Which reminds me, when are you going to be man enough to ask me to hang out with you? I mean, it's going to happen sometime, so why not just ask me now?" she asked him jokingly, using the nickname that she had come up after determining that his name could be shortened to something even cuter. Diarmuid laughed and gave her a small wink. "Oh, do you have something in your eye?" she giggled.

"What was that, sweetheart?" the man questioned, as he continued to wink at the woman. "And if you want to go on a date with me so bad, you can just say so. Don't worry; it's actually an everyday occurrence to hear women tell me that. You don't have to be the exception. Come on, join the party", he told her with a sarcastic tone.

"Sorry, Love. I can't tell you that I want to date you, if you can't even ask me to spend a day with you. I mean, I would absolutely love to experience a day with you, but I can't unless you ask me. I only date men who are man enough to ask me on a date without me having to ask them out", Saber told him, causing him to laugh even more.

Throwing his hands up, he stated, "Fine, fine, will you, Arturia Pendragon, spend the day with me if you're not doing anything important right now?" Saber chuckled and nodded.

"I would love to", Arturia replied with a small smile. The door of the subway opened, and the two decided to get out. Suddenly, a ringtone sounded from Diarmuid's pocket. Digging his phone out of his pocket, he answered the call. "Hey, Cu", he greeted, letting Arturia know that it was his brother calling him. She stood there silently, looking up at him. She soon heard him let out a quiet "oh shit" before hearing him say, "yeah, thanks. See ya in a bit", Diarmuid told the man on the other end before hanging.

"Sorry about that. I forgot my wallet, so do you mind if we go to my place to get it?" he asked her with an apologetic smile. Saber nodded.

"I don't care", she replied. He grinned in thanks.

"Thanks. Well then, follow me. Don't worry it's not too far from here", the Irishman told her before turning the other way and motioning for her to follow. She nodded once more and walked beside him. The walk to his apartment building was only a couple minutes luckily. The two walked into the building and greeted the woman at the front desk, who had dark hair and dark eyes.

Diarmuid and Arturia walked into the elevator, and Diarmuid pressed the button that led to the top floor. Soon, they felt the elevator going up. "So this is where you live huh?" Arturia asked. "I must say that this is a nice apartment building, much better than mine."

"Yeah, I really like it too. And fortunately, all of the people who live here are super nice and friendly", the tall male responded, as the elevator door once again opened for the two to walk out. The man soon walked towards where his apartment was located, the woman following close behind him. He then led her to the door to his living space, entering inside.

Once walking in, she realized how neat and tidy the whole place was. The apartment was beautifully decorated, and the view from the large windows was beautiful. She suddenly heard a piano playing from another room. Diarmuid shut the door and walked toward the room. "Welcome to my brother and I's apartment", he welcomed her, while walking backwards toward the room.

Arturia giggled, as she started to follow him. Diarmuid walked to the open room and made his way inside. The blonde soon heard the raven-haired Irishman speaking to someone. She then walked inside the room, where she was surprised to see the one and only Cu Chulainn, sitting at a large grand piano. Oh my god, am I dreaming? she asked herself in her mind. Soon, his red eyes pointed at her with a questioning look. He then smiled at her with his canine-like teeth. "Oh, who's this lovely lass?"

"Cu, this is Arturia. Arturia, meet Cu", Diarmuid stated, introducing the two. Cu stretched his hand toward her, as he stood from his chair.

"Nice to meet you", Cu said happily.

"Nice to meet you too", Arturia replied. "I never imagined ever meeting you in person."

"Haha well, fate is weird. Fate is really weird", responded the blue-haired male, as he sat back on the piano chair. Saber nodded in agreement, before she heard Diarmuid speak up.

"So Cu, are you writing another song?"

"Ha, more like just playing random keys. Do you know how hard it is to write a song? Oh wait, you don't have my job, so never mind. Anyway", Cu continued to his younger brother, as he reached out for a wallet that was set on a nearby table. "Here's your wallet." The man threw the object to the younger one.

"Thanks, Bro", Diarmuid thanked him.

"Yeah, yeah, just please go get me the Advil from the cabinet. My boss has been calling me all day, and now I have a major headache." Cu's younger brother shook his head after stuffing his wallet into his other pocket and heading towards the kitchen for the medicine.

"Is it really that bad?" Arturia asked.

"Yes, whenever your phone says that you have fifteen missed calls from the exact same person who isn't your significant other, you really have to wonder what they have to do with their lives", Cu replied, as he laid his head down on the piano, which turned out to be a very bad idea due to all of the keys playing loudly at once. "Shit."

Diarmuid walked into the room, the medicine in his hands. "Here." He handed it over to his brother. "Maybe he wouldn't call you so much, if you had a girlfriend", Diarmuid told his brother, causing Cu to look at him with a death stare. The blue-haired man soon looked down to the medicine in his hands, opening the lid and taking two of the pills out. Grabbing the Gatorade that was placed on a nearby table, he swallowed the medicine.

"You know our deal. I won't find a girl, until you find one. Unless of course, if Arturia here is your girlfriend. Then, I will happily take the time to go out into the world and find myself a lass." At the statement, a blush made its way onto both Arturia and Diarmuid's faces.

"No, no, we are just friends. We only met about a week and a half ago", Diarmuid informed him.

"I agree. We are nothing more than friends", agreed Arturia. All Cu could do was laugh. He knew the signs of two people having feelings for each other, and the signs were definitely showing themselves. "I'm sorry, but is there something funny?"

"Haha! No, no, I'm just laughing at the fact that you two are denying it. That's so cute. I remember when I was in that stage, but the difference is that I denied that I liked someone to Mom. There's no reason to lie about having feelings toward each other to me", the elder male exclaimed, laughing. The blush on Diarmuid and Arturia's faces deepened.

"God, you're so embarrassing!" Diarmuid said, flustered, as he punched his brother in the army. Cu laughed hysterically. Arturia giggled at the scene before, as she saw Diarmuid start punching his brother who continued to laugh. "I swear I'm going to use you as a punching bag!" he yelled, as Cu blocked his punches.

"Oh, really? You will, will you? I don't think you're strong enough", Cu replied, getting up from his piano chair and putting Diarmuid into a headlock. His brother struggled to get free, as Cu started to give him a noogie. "Aw poor Dia is struggling. What are you going to do now, Di-AH!" Cu screamed, as he was picked up and threw on the couch by Diarmuid.

"Who's not strong enough now, Cu? It's too bad that you have the body of a woman. It seems that you're more bark than you are bite. No wonder why a lot of people call you dog", the younger Irishman mocked. The anger made its way to Cu's face, who was obviously not happy about the comment. Arturia wondered how strong Cu was compared to Diarmuid, for he was a lot skinnier and smaller than his younger brother although he was the same height.

"I'll give you a ten second head start to get your ass running before I beat it, you little piece of shit!" the man screamed angrily. Arturia looked toward the dark-haired man, who knew that it was a huge mistake to have said what he said. Fear was on his face, as he began to run the other way. Cu counted quickly before running after his younger brother at a lightning quick speed. Soon, a yell came from Diarmuid, telling Arturia that Cu had caught him.

She ran toward where she thought the men were and quickly found Diarmuid in a headlock on the ground getting beaten by his brother, who continued to punch him as the younger male let out small ouches. Arturia laughed and shook her head. "Is this what you two do in your free time?"

"No, only whenever he pisses me off", Cu responded, punching the other man again. "And, I'm usually the one who wins too. He just wants to be a little piece of shit and piss me the hell off."

"Help me...please", begged Diarmuid, continuing to be punched by the singer. Saber shook her head once more and looked at Cu.

"Well, you can beat him up later. We were going to hang out and walk around the city", she told the man, who looked up at her and then reluctantly let go of his brother as he stood up.

"Thanks, Arturia", Diarmuid thanked her before sticking out his tongue at Cu, who reacted by punching him hard in the arm. "Ow", he whined.

"You better watch your ass when you get home, because I won't go easy on you. Anyway, you two better get going on your date. Wouldn't want to waste your time here with me instead of having fun with each other, now would you?" The three walked toward the door. "If you come back late and she's with you, remember, no-"

"Cu!" Diarmuid exclaimed, a blush all over his face. His ears and cheeks were red like a tomato. "We're just friends!"

"Friends can have-"

"Cu!"

"Okay, okay, have fun, you two", Cu told them, as the two exited the apartment. "Nice meeting you, Arturia."

"Nice meeting you too, Cu", Saber replied with a smile.

"Goodbye." The man closed the door, as they made their way toward the elevator. The short blonde looked toward the Irishman beside her, who still had a huge blush on his face. Aww, he's embarrassed, she commented in her head.

"You know, Dia. You look adorable with that blush on your face", she said to him. She giggled when she noticed his face get redder.

"You're not helping, Arturia", he responded, looking over at her with his beautiful amber eyes.

"I know. I'm only teasing. He seems like a very nice man."

"I usually describe him as ornery and immature but whatever floats your boat, sweetheart", Diarmuid sighed. Saber giggled at him, as they walked into the elevator once more. "Please don't start teasing me as much as he does. I get enough crap already."

"Haha, I can't make any promises."
