I stare up at the stars, glistening sparks scattered across the endless sea of space. Tonight, they are more vibrant, more full of life than before, a new shine that seems to be renewed.
They are beautiful.
"Staring at the stars again, Shirou?"
"Yeah."
I don't have to look to know who it is, feeling her presence sitting down next to me.
"The stars are beautiful, are they not?"
I nod as I glance to my side. Saber, her pale hair and faded gold eyes illuminated by the moonlight, stares up at the sky, a gentle smile on her lips.
Ever since that night, that promise I made to her, Saber changed. It makes me happy, just knowing that. Seeing that she no longer hides herself.
"This reminds me of that night." Saber said with a soft whisper. "Where you and I sat here, talking to each other, watching the yard."
She looks at me.
"It is also where you promised to bring the girl within me out. Where we danced the night away."
She smiles, her affectionate eyes staring into my own. Her hand shifted towards me, grasping it over my hand, the warm touch spreading to my being from our connection.
"Yeah. And I meant it with all my heart."
"Of course. I would never have doubted that from you, Shirou."
We gaze at each other for a few moments, the wind swaying against the grass and trees and the cold air penetrating my skin, even that doesn't distract me. Immersed in her gaze, a pulse beating inside me.
Then, without a thought, I lean in for a kiss, and nought a word, she accepts.
Our lips connect, a slight touch that only lasts for a second, and yet, feels like an eternity.
We detach from our kiss, a faint warmth remains on my lips.
We look into each other's eyes as Saber shifts toward me, sitting herself on my lap. The stars behind her contrasting her figure, her pale skin gleaming from the faint moonlight.
"Saber… Should we really do this?"
"I want this, as I am sure you do as well."
A soft voice akin to a whisper, her eyes beckoning me to listen to her, to do what she says. Who am I to deny her?
"Then…" I lean in for another kiss, and she accepts. Peeling back her jacket as we engage in an intimate duel, her shoulders now bare while she wraps her arms around me. My hands on her thighs.
Her tongue pokes my lips and I let it through, wrapping itself around mine while the straps on her shirt slips off her shoulders, falling down and revealing more of her skin.
I roam my hands from her thighs and to her abdomen, feeling her as I pull up her shirt, discarding it. Her body is now exposed to the world.
She does the same. Sliding her hands down from my shoulders, she lifts up my shirt and throws it away, laying her hands on my chest.
We press against each other, her modest breasts pushing against my chest as we continue our kiss, our warmth combining into one.
Then, we detach from each other, saliva sticking between our lips. My erection twitches from underneath, poking through the fabric of my pants as Saber gives a teasing smile, rubbing herself against it.
I kiss her neck, a gasp escaping her lips. My hands roaming her body, stopping at her shorts as I unbuckle them, pulling them off.
She then unbuttoned my pants, slipping it down and discarding them. Stroking her entrance along the length of my now exposed member.
She then halts her motion, her hands cupping my face as I move it away from her neck, our gaze connecting.
She lifts herself up. I steady her as she looms over my penis, descending down with anticipation.
The tip slides in a little, the entrance's wall caving itself more with each inch given until the tip pierces through, submerged alongside the entirety of my length.
Saber gasps from the insertion as I feel the swathing warmth of her internal flesh consuming me, pulsating against my member as it reaches deep into her crevice, our virginity taken.
Blood drips down from her entrance, her body shaking as she rises up and down on my penis, the red fluid acting as a lotion smoothing the process.
Pleasure courses through my body as I hold her waist and thrust into her, synching myself to her movements, forming into a rhythmic yet awkward motion as she lets out another gasp.
Time moves slowly as we kiss, our emotions, feelings, and being merging into one. The outside world fading away, immersing ourselves within this act of intimate affection as seconds forms into eternity.
Her warmth, her affection, it envelops me whole, overtaking my body as I feel her from within. Two souls interconnected, bonded by an ephemeral force, unseen yet so felt.
Her memories, her past, her emotions, they all combine, forming into an accumulation of one's mind, sought out within this world. Her actions in place of her voice; this intercourse her way of showing her heart.
And, I accept it. Holding her heart within my grasp, I hug her tightly against my chest. Our two souls pulsing, merging together, our passion rising up to the very depths of our spirits and then-
It bursts through, flowing within the boundary of flesh as it breaks through the blockage, entering into her womb as we moan into each other's lips.
Time returns, eternity fading away into seconds as we detach from each other, fog and saliva between our lips.
I stare into her eyes, stars swirling within the depths of her gaze as they shine, her pale body illuminated by the moonlight, a fleeting sight akin to a goddess.
She is beautiful.
I fall down, taking her with me as I hit the wooden surface of the porch, Saber laying upon me as we gasp for breath.
We stay in that position for a few moments, embracing in each other's company as we rest.
"If there comes a point where time separates us apart, would you search for me? Through an infinite abyss of time, would you still love me?"
A whispered question, one of doubt and uncertainty, her hands tightening on my shoulders as she hides herself within the crux.
Would I still love her despite all that, regardless of time itself?
The answer itself is already clear in my mind.
"I will always love you, no matter what."
"Truly…?"
I hug her closer to me, feeling her relax on my chest.
"Truly. I will never abandon you, Artoria."
A slight silence reigns over the night while the howling soft wind sways, Saber lifts herself up. Peering into my eyes, with a beautiful smile adorned on her lips.
"Then, I will never abandon you too, Shirou. I will always wait for you even if destiny itself separates us."
She leans in, her breath upon my lips. Her heart beating in rhythm with my own.
"I love you, Shirou."
"I love you too, Artoria."
And so, as the stars glisten within the abyssal skies, we kiss into the endless night.
