Chapter 8: Fateful Apology
Saturday night
The sun sunk behind the horizon as the city's lights filled the darkness in Fuyuki City. A slight breeze grazed Shirou's face as he walked home. Upon arriving at his doorstep, he stood motionlessly as he stared towards the dying stars.
Sigh… how am I supposed to make it up to Saber?
"BAM!"
Shirou snapped back to reality as Illya flung the front door wide open.
"ONIICHAN! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Illya demanded as she stood with her arms crossed.
"Uhh I was outside with-"
Illya interrupted him before he could finish. "Never mind that just come inside now!" Illya said as she reached for Shirou's arm and began dragging him inside.
What the hell is going on? Did something happen? Sweat began to form as he stepped inside his home.
"Illya what's wrong?" Shirou questioned nervously.
"Just hurry up!" Illya cried as she lugged Shirou into the living room.
Everything sat still as silence began to fill the room as the only two beings stood soundly.
Nothing seems out of the ordinary, why is she in such as rush? Wait… Saber-
"Saber isn't-" Illya began only to be cut off.
"WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW SABER?" Shirou cried out.
"Wait, Onnichan let me finish!"
AHHH SHIT DON'T TELL ME SHES STILL UPSET FROM THIS MORNING…
"ONNICHAN!" Illya yelled.
Shirou trembled as his thoughts panicked him.
"It's almost 8pm and it's the season finale of Fate Kaleid Liner Prisma and the TV isn't working. Saber isn't coming home until 9pm and I can't fix it." Illya explained.
Huh?
Shirou's eyes quickly began to dry as he stared down Illya.
"Uhm Onnichan…?"
Shirou's left eye began to twitch as he continued staring her down.
Illya eyes wondered around the room as she finished her sentence.
"The TV needs fixing…"
"YOU GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK! I THOUGHT SABER-"
"Though I was what?" Saber asked as she stood by the front door with a look of uncertainty.
"Uhh h-h-how long have you been listening?" Shirou questioned with embarrassment.
"LONG ENOUGH HAHA!" Illya cried out with laughter.
Saber began to blush as she and Shirou made eye contact.
"I thought you weren't coming home until 9pm…"
"I decided to come home earlier…" Saber began. "I'll be… upstairs if you need me." Saber finished as grabbed her belongings and headed up the flight of stairs.
Ahh dammit this is so embarrassing…
"Oniichan… TV… NOW!" Illya reminded Shirou as she watched the clock tick by.
"Yea yeah let me just get changed."
LATER IN THE KITCHEN
The smell of steaming omurice filled the kitchen as Shirou placed three dishes on the dinner table. Shirou looked over to where Illya sat enjoying her favorite TV show.
"Illya! Dinner is on the table, don't forget to wash your hands before you eat!" Shirou reminded as he grabbed Saber's plate.
"Thanks Onnichan!"
The steps creaked as Shirou nervously made his way up the stairs.
Saber's been in her room ever since she got home. I should go apologize about this morning and…
Shirou found himself standing outside her bedroom.
Sigh… just go wing it
"Knock knock!"
"Hey Saber, I made you some omurice. I don't know if you have already ate, but I made it anyways."
Silence followed up as Shirou's head dipped towards the floor.
"Come on in." Saber replied after what seemed like an eternity.
Creaks echoed throughout her room as the door slowly swung open. Saber sat on her bedside as her eyes made contact with Shirou's.
Gulp…
Saber wore an oversized white t-shirt with some graphic design's he's never seen before with a pair of black leggings. Shirou placed her plate of omurice on the lamp table as he sat beside her.
"Look I really want to-" Shirou began.
"NO! Uhh sorry, I mean I should be the one apologizing about this morning…" Saber explained.
What? I thought she was…
Saber glanced at Shirou and continued. "I overreacted when you preferred Rin's help… and then the date that followed…"
"I-"
"I'm sorry." Saber finished.
Shirou sat motionlessly as he watched Saber nervously look away.
"No, I should be the one apologizing. I should've tried to understand your side before I came to a conclusion!" exclaimed Shirou.
Saber looked his way and held his gaze.
Wait… she didn't she just say "then the date that followed" does that mean… she was jealous?
"I-… I wanted to spend the day with you trying this…" Saber began she pointed towards the brand new Kendo outfit that laid by her side.
Ohh that's what was inside the package from this morning…
"I got this for you… and I wanted to spare with you." Saber finished.
She bought me this armor just for me to practice and I left her alone… how could I be so stupid?
"Hey look, I want to make it up to you. I'll do anything." Shirou offered.
Saber's eyes widened for a split second before quickly returning back to her nervous face as she turned away.
"Maybe… a k-…" Saber muttered.
"Sorry a what?"
"A… k-…" Saber muttered again.
Shirou leaned towards her in order to hear her. Saber jumped and faced him only for their lips to make contact. Silence engulfed the room as they stared at each other with wide eyes.
Uhh EHHHHHH!? WE'RE KISSING RIGHT NOW WHAT THE HELL?!
Saber's widened eyes slightly closed as she placed one of her hands on his hand. Both Shirou and Saber closed their eyes in what seemed like an everlasting dream.
"CRASH!"
Omurice and ketchup stained Illya's legs and the floor as she stood in awe before the scene that presented in front of her. Shirou flew backwards from the loud shattering glassware.
"AHH ILLYA HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?" Shirou nervously asked.
"Hello Illya." Saber greeted with a blush and a slight smile.
"Oh my Ea… YOU TWO KISSED!" Illya blurted out as she ran towards the pair holding them tightly.
Ahh shit… how did this happen? This was definitely an accident, but she didn't pull back…
"Ahaha Illya now calm down will you?" Saber laughed as she tried to help Illya regain her composure.
"Umm Saber… I think we should-" Shirou began.
"Don't worry…" Saber smiled. "We can talk about this later."
Right… whew!
Shirou made his way around the stains and broken glassware as he stepped outside the room. Saber's voice echoed through the door. "Don't worry Illya, I'll clean up this mess." "Forget the mess! You have to tell me all about it!"
Ahh that was uhh… her lips where so soft… I wonder how things are going to change.
End of Chapter 8
Authors Notes: So… it's been half a year since I stopped writing. I would like to apologize and explain the reasoning behind it. School has been way to demanding (I know right, first world problems) and I have absolutely no time and this is my senior year so it's really important to get good grades! Anyhow this picks up right where it left off so perhaps read the previous chapter if you forgot what happened! I was reread all the old chapters and I gotta say… There are lots of mistakes and I would also like to apologize for that! (I do not doubt for a second that there aren't any mistakes in this chapter!) So yea I didn't want to do one of those anime cliché things when Illya interrupts the kiss… yea no fuck that, let's actually get something going here! Will I be writing as often as before? I doubt it because school's still in session, but whenever I find the time I will continue writing! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and write a review! (I reply ASAP!) Till next time!
