I wouldn't offer if I wasn't okay with it. Go enjoy yourself, Sakura. [He smiles as if it's there to convince her it's fine. NO HE HAS TO DO SOME SPOILING TOO.]

[springful]

Then...

[She leads Shirou on over to a shelf with stuffed animals before picking out a teddy bear. It's a bit childish, but she remembers wanting one when she was a kid, before she went to the Matou family. A teddy bear would make a nice reminder for their date today too.]

I want this. [Still a little embarrassed though, she kind of hides behind it, and she looks off to the side.] Is that alright?

[projections]

[Shirou gives it a look twice and then pokes it once.]

It's fine. It's cute and it suits you. [He's getting a little embarrassed because Sakura's being cute. It's nice to watch Sakura have fun for a change.]

What are you going to name it?

[springful]

[She brightens instantly, practically looking like she's about to cheer. She's even more excited about this than she thought, but she can't help it. It's not even a big deal or anything, but she's really happy.]

Thank you, Senpai! Though I haven't thought about a name for it yet... What do you think would be a good name?

[projections]

You're welcome.

[Sakura stop being cute! Shirou can't deal. ]

Maybe you can name it after something you like? I think it will be good to give it a name with a meaning.

[springful]

A name with meaning... [Or something she likes? The latter is such a small category Shirou, you have to realize this!! After a moment though she lights up briefly...]

Oh, I know something perfect then! What about—

[Then immediately deflates, ducking her head down in embarrassment. No, that would be a stupid name, what was she thinking?]

N-No, never mind. I need to think of something better...

[i'm gonna do it nami. i'm gonna fucking do it.]

[projections]

[What he thought it'd be cute if she named it after Rin or something. Shirou isn't being very creative here.]

Hm? You can't back out now that you've said you have something in mind.

Tell me what you thought, Sakura. I'm positive that anything you pick will be the best.

[oh my god]

[springful]

W-Well, when you suggested a name with meaning, or something I like, I thought that... That even if Senpai gave up becoming a super hero, he's still incredible to me. So when I thought of that, the name I came up with was...

Super... Senpai. [She is so mortified she feels like she could drop dead from saying this out loud UWOO.] It's stupid, right? I don't know why I thought that would be a good name.

[THERE IT IS. THERE IT FUCKING IS.]

[projections]

[SCREAMS WHY]

Super Senpai.....[He says it so quietly. It's cute coming from Sakura so he blushes.]

I'm not against it and Super Senpai remind you of our first date together.

[springful]

[THIS IS THE FATE YOU ASKED FOR. REMEMBER, NAMI.]

R-Really? You don't think it's silly? [So she doesn't have to be mortified?!?!?!]

[projections]

[GOD WHY]

It's not silly to me. [Shirou pats her on the head gently.]

You picked out a great name.

[springful]

[She thought it was so lame, but Shirou accepting it makes her happy. It might be a little embarrassing, but Sakura gives him a big hug.]

Thank you, Senpai, thank you!

[projections]

[OH GOD SHE'S REALLY HAPPY]

Don't mention it. If there's anything else you want here please help yourself. [Goodbye wallet. This is going towards a good cause. Sakura though smh. He honestly doesn't care about anything rn. IT'S SO GOOD SEEING HER HAPPY FOR ONCE..]

[springful]

No, it's okay. This is more than enough.

[She lets go of Shirou but holds onto the teddy bear tightly. Something as simple as this is already the kind of thing she thought she'd never have, so she's already satisfied. If she's too selfish, it feels like things could be ruined.]

[projections]

[Sakura is so cute. Giving up everything to see her like this is worth it. If he can continue making her smile then he won't regret anything. For now he's just watching over her like if something ruins this he'll be beyond furious. ]

I'm happy you're satisfied.

[springful]

What about you, Senpai? Are there any kind of stores you want to look around at? [She wants to get him a gift too okay...]

[projections]

We still need to do some groceries, but that can wait.

Wherever we go next is up to you. I'm content as it is.

[springful]

Let's see... Oh, I know just the place then! I think you'll like it. [She nods to herself, confident. IT'LL BE A GOOD SURPRISE FOR SENPAI!! But first they should probably go pay for the teddy bear, so she makes her way to the cash register.]

[projections]

What do you have in mind? [It's not going to be something weird right....

THIS IS GOING TO BE COOKING RELATED? Who knows??

Shirou waits outside for her so she can finish paying smh. Sakura is so energetic it's almost weird. This was never a thing.]

[springful]

It's a surprise. [Because for once she has a reason to be energetic okay... But after she pays, she takes Shirou by the hand and starts walking. Soon enough an antique store comes into view, and the display window has some antique weapons.]

[projections]

[Shirou's having a serious case of doki because Sakura took his hand help.]

This is where you wanted to go? [But it doesn't interest Sakura at all.]

It'd say it's a pleasant surprise. Most of these weapons appear to be hundreds of years old. They're created well and I think that blade is based off an on old European model. It should be good for thrusting and stabbing but....[He gives Sakura an unsure look.]

Won't you get bored here?

[springful]

Not at all. If you're having fun, so am I. [Genuinely means that... She even squeezes his hand once to reassure him!!]

[projections]

I see then. Thank you Sakura. You're thinking of me and I'm really happy we spent today together like this.

[Sakura doesn't care for weapons. There's no reason why she needs to come here! Shirou thinks she's being way too thoughtful.]

[springful]

You're welcome. I'm really glad we could spend today like this too. [For a first date, it's pretty much perfect to her. If the future continues to be like this, she won't be able to contain all her happiness.] Although it's a little unfair now that I think about it. You got me something for today, but I probably can't afford anything here.

[Antique weapons are usually a big deal right... Time to start saving up.]

[projections]

[Sakura no. You can't go out of your way to buy these weapons. Senpai is forbidding it.]

Don't even mention it, Sakura. I can produce weaker versions of these swords using projection. I'll need more time to look at them though.
