Author's Notes: This is my first story, so please consider leaving a review after you read. This story is based off the FGO craft essence "Thank You for Your Hard Work!", with EMIYA included.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Fate franchise.
As Emiya continued his task, of gathering office reports throughout Chaldea, Inc., stopping only after hearing a couple of voices calling out to him.
"Oh, Mr. Emiya can you give us a few moments of your time?"
"N-n-no, p-please ignore everything she said!"
Confused, Emiya turned to the sight of an embarrassed Mursaki Shikibu being pushed by Sei Shonagon, her fellow friend and employee, rather excitedly.
As the two stopped in front of him, Emiya noticed that Mursaki appeared to be holding something in her hands.
""Yes, can I help the two of you with something ?", Emiya asked while wondering what the two of them wanted.
Mursaki, face still burning red, nervously glaced towards her friend, hoping that Sei would offer an explaination.
Instead, Sei only offered an encouraging grin with a thumbs up.
Realizing that she had no other choice, Mursaki released a deep sigh, before answering:
"H-h-happy Val-valentine's day, Emiya."
Murasaki held her hands towards Emiya, revealing a small pink bag filled with wrapped candy.
Emiya's eyes could only widened in surprise, while Murasaki, nervously, waited for his reply.
"Why are you...?", Was all Emiya could say, while the gears in his head were still spinning, clearly trying to come up with a response.
"Emiya, I..." Murasaki began, taking a brief moment to calm herself down, and continued with "...I've always had an interest in you and with today being Valentine's Day... I believed that I should prepare a gift for you."
"Which is why she's been spending her weekends learning how to make homemade candy, just for you", Sei happly added, reminding the two that she was still there.
After his brain started operating once again, Emiya couldn't help but noticed that the candy was said to be homemade.
"You made these?", Emiya questioned Murasaki, while slowly taking the bag from her hands.
"Y-Yes!", Mursaki immediately blurted out, Emiya was slighted taken back by her response, seeing that, Mursaki calmly contined, "I mean... I've heared that you prepare your own meals by hand and felt that my gift should be the same", she finishes with her head slightly tilted down.
Emiya, briefly taking a quick glance at the bag, then returns his gaze to Murasaki.
"Thank you, Murasaki", Emiya says, while pocketing the gift and having a smile on his face, "After all, it would be rude of me to reject such a gift, after all the hard work you put into making it", hearing his response caused Murasaki to raise her head back up, revealing that she too was smilling.
"Thank you, Emiya", Murasaki says, happy that her gift had been accepted.
At that moment, an idea suddenly popped into Emiya's head.
"Say Murasaki, do you have any plans this weekend?", Emiya asks, rather bashfully.
"No?", Murasaki replied, confused by his question.
"Well, I was wondering if you'd be like to have dinner with me?", Emiya says, while rubbing the back of his head.
Hearing that question caused Murasaki to turn bright red once again, while Sei was grinning like a madwoman.
Noticing that Emiya was waiting for a reply, Murasaki decided that now was not the time to turn into a stuttering mess.
Collecting herself, Murasaki says, "I'd loved to have dinner with you, Emiya", happy with her answer, Emiya pulls out his phone.
"Great, we should exchange numbers, so that I can text you a place and time, and also incase if either of us have to notify the other if something comes up", Emiya says, while Murasaki pulls out her own phone.
After the two finished exchanging numbers, Emiya suddenly remembers that he has still yet to gather the remaining reports.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Murasaki", Emiya apologizes, " While, I'd like to keep talking, I still need to get the other reports", he says with a slight frown.
"It's fine, Emiya", Mursaki gives him a reassuring smile, " I know you still have work left to do and I'm sorry if I took up too much of your time."
"You don't have anything to apologize for, besides I liked talking to you", Emiya says while beginning to walk away, but not before adding, "And I hope we have a pleasant time together, Murasaki."
"As do I", Murasaki answers back, still smilling.
Giving her one more smile, Emiya heads onward, hoping that he'll get all the reports on time.
"You know...", hearing Sei's voice caused Murasaki to look at her friend, "...Since you both want a good time together, why not bring some of your special
reading material to show him?", Sei finished, all the while grinning mischievously.
After a couple moments pass, Murasaki's eyes widen, as she brings her hands to hide the embarrassed look on her face, after realizing what her friend had suggested.
Sei, on the other hand, could only laugh at her friend.
