Title: For You
Pairing: Arthur Pendragon (Saber) x Ayaka Sajyou
Despite being badly wounded and very weak, the legendary King Arthur, known as Saber by many, finally arrived at the residence where his mistress lay in her bed, trying to withstand the pain that the poison inside her body produced.
The battle was brutal; Archer was without any doubt a formidable warrior since he was able to deal with his Excalibur. Nevertheless, his desire to save the precious life of the young woman who he now had before him was much stronger, and for that reason the victory was granted to him.
"Hold on a little more, Ayaka." Arthur whispered after shedding off his armor. He carefully uncorked the bottle, took the brown-haired girl in his arms and offered it to her, "Look, here's the antidote... you must take it..." he said.
The answer never came though, something that of course didn't surprise Saber. He understood pretty well that Ayaka was just as or even more tired than he was because of fighting the poison inside her body for several days. And the worst of all was that she was already reaching her limit.
"I have no choice." he whispered to himself. "I'm sorry, Ayaka, but I can't wait for you to wake up." The blond-haired young man took the content of the bottle and then joined his lips with hers, taking extreme care not to swallow or spill the antidote that would surely save the life of his mistress.
To say this situation didn't make him nervous was a great fallacy. Although he was only providing the cure for the young woman with brown hair, his lips were connected to hers at the end, and that made his cheeks pale in a soft pink.
Finally, having passed all the liquid that he sipped, the ancient King of England separated his lips from those of the Japanese girl and waited for the antidote to take effect.
He carefully laid her back on the bed so she could rest. He also needed a rest, so he decided to get out of the room. However, when he was about to leave, something stopped him.
"Why are you ... so hurt?" she asked weakly as she held as much as she could his wrist.
"Ayaka...!" the Englishman exclaimed before turning back to her, "You woke up." Relieved, he sat on the corner of the bed beside her, "It seems the antidote works fast, what a relief..." he said under his breath.
"Antidote…? That's why you're... like this?" she asked.
Ayaka tried to sit up once she asked him that, but that was prevented by her servant, "Don't get up yet, you're weak," he said quietly.
"But…"
"I know what you want to ask me," he said as he took her hand again, "but we'll talk when you're better, okay?" he asked before reaching the back of his hand with his lips, achieving that the weak but now more conscious Ayaka to blush slightly.
Not having more options, the mage finally nodded and layed back without moving her hand away from Saber.
Being finally attained by the dream, the Sajyou began to close little by little her eyelids, but not before asking a last thing to the man who had not only his hand, but her heart, "Would you stay... with me tonight...?"
And with a smile Arthur just tightened the light grip on her hand and answered softly, "Always..."
Suki: Sorry if I have a lot of grammar mistakes, as I said, English is not my first language, and I'm not used to this way or writing. If there's someone who wants to help me by correcting me in my grammar mistakes it'll be awesome.
Anyways, hope you like it!
