[tbh it was probably just mild but cute bedhead... gotta make sure he's looking sharp though!!]

Of course. I'm glad you're feeling better. [As if she'd really just leave him on a bench... In any case she accepts her jacket back.]

When you fell asleep. It'd be bad if you caught a cold out here.

[projections]

Sakura...! [He feels...pathetic tbh. She's going out of her way to help him and he was selfish enough to complain earlier. WHY? Shirou's apologizing to himself for it or at least trying to.] I won't get sick because you took care of me.

But if you get sick I'll be the one responsible for it. Try to take better care of yourself...please.

[springful]

It's alright, Senpai. You don't have to worry about me! [Sakura PUFFS UP WITH PRIDE because she never gets sicks!! Unless terrible HF things are happening but thankfully they're post-canon.] I won't get sick so easily.

[projections]

I believe you. [He half mumbles that comment because he knows Sakura's going to push herself. no sakura no.....]

You can't stop me from worrying about it though. Remember how you got sick before?

[springful]

That shouldn't happen again, and you know it. [SERVANTS ARE NOT HERE TO RUIN HER LIFE there'll be no more soul harboring...] I'll be fine, I promise.

I hate this tag so much im editing fuck nasu

[projections]

I know. [Shirou rests face on Sakura's shoulder and keeps it there. He doesn't want to lose her and he's afraid something might come up again. SENPAI IS CONCERNED FOR REAL.]

You're better than that, but that's besides the point. I want us to stay peaceful for as long as possible so don't get sick. There's still a lot of things we have to do together, right?

nami................. pats

[springful]

[SENPAI IS ALWAYS TOO CONCERNED!! But she leans back slightly, content to just stay together like this.]

You're right. There's a lot that I want us to do together... [It makes her realize something actually, and she smiles almost a bit mischievously.] In fact, you still haven't taken me out on a date, Senpai. It's almost a little sad considering we've been together for so long now.

[She's obviously teasing though. They could just be sitting together having tea and she would consider it fun... Sakura please broaden your couple activities.]

[projections]

Oh........................you're right. [mfw he had no idea.]

I wouldn't even know where to begin with a date. What do you want to do then, Sakura? [He's clueless as ever tbh.]

[springful]

What I want to do? [Shirou don't ask her this question... It's still hard for her to actually have simple wants and desires!!] Whatever is fine with me, honestly. I'm still not very familiar with this place after all... Besides, it was just a joke. We don't have to go on a date if you want to rest more.

[projections]

I'm not familiar with this place either. There has to be something you want to do.

Want to walk around and find something? That should keep us occupied for a while. [If it was a joke Shirou failed to completely read it. He has 0 humor.]

[springful]

[Shirou please relax a little for once... Before shit goes down during the event!! Regardless, Sakura nods.]

That sounds perfectly fine with me. Oh, but do you want to head back and get your coat first? It's a bit cold after all.

[projections]

We should head on back. I was so angry at myself I didn't even realize I forgot such an important thing.

[Brb hitting himself. That just shows he needs to be more careful...

Shirou gets up and starts walking back to their place.]

By the way, I--[He was about to mention Rin and Archer coming but he stops himself. They've dealt with enough today. Shirou's content with the way things are now.]

Forget it. Let's go.

[springful]

It's alright. Let's just make sure you don't forget anything else.

[But likewise, she stands up and starts heading back with him. She looks up at him when it sounds like he'll mention something, but when he holds it back, she sighs, a little disappointed. It's unsurprising, but she's determined to get him to say what's worrying him at some point.]

Sure. But Senpai, next time you have something you want to say, pleasure make sure to say it in full.

[projections]

Hm....

[He doesn't want to lie to Sakura...but he doesn't want to keep it hidden forever either. This is the best compromise he can make.]

That might be difficult for me to do. I'll try and come around for your sake. I don't want to continue on with these habits of mine. They're not good for you.

[springful]

Exactly! Bad habits are hard to break, but that's why you should try to break it to begin with.

[She wishes he'd do it for his own sake too though... But that's something they both need to work on, and she knows it. Still, she's glad to hear it, so she smiles happily. In any case though, they probably reach their place soon enough.]

[projections]

[He chuckles softly.]

It might take a while before I make some progress. Anyways, I'd rather fix these habits myself than let you worry more.

[They're home now!]

I'll go grab my things. Yell for me when you're ready to leave, Sakura.

[Shirou's just grabbing his coat along with Rin's pendant. It's important to him he can't forget it.]

[springful]

Okay. I won't take long.

[She honestly doesn't have to prepare anything to leave, but this is their first date after all. Well, them trying to find a place to spend their first date at, but it's sort of close, right? It's silly and unnecessary, but she wants to look nice for it. Still, she doesn't want to take too long for this, so she comes back out after ten minutes or so in a cuter coat.]

Senpai? I'm ready!

[projections]

[Are you just asking for awkward boners.......you'll be getting some tbh. Shirou doesn't know how to respond because Sakura's too pretty. SWEATS NERVOUSLY.]

Sorry, did I make you wait long? [CALM DOWN SHIROU]

[springful]

[mfw it's just sadly ic... so I guess so yeah... But at the very least Sakura's nervous too!! Even if there's really no reason to be, but OH GOD OH MAN DATES.]

Not at all. [She tries to smile naturally, but really she's too nervous...] Are you ready to go?

[projections]

[ Physically ready? yeah. Mentally? No. He's never ready]

I think so. [Shirou takes Sakura's hand and walks out the door. ]

You look beautiful today.....[CHOKES. SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL EVERYDAY HOW THE FUCK IS HE GOING TO SAY THAT. KILL HIM]

When did you get that outfit?

[springful]

T-Thank you.

[KYAA HE SAID SHE LOOKED NICE how sugoi... Someone please help these losers they can have sex but apparently a normal date is too much for them. But wow here they are, holding hands and everything!! How long till an awkward boner ruins it.]

The other day after my part-time job. I thought it would be okay to get a nicer coat.

[projections]

[They're so weird...but we know who to blame for this. YOU KNOW WHO TO BLAME. It won't be very long until he gets another awkward boner smh]

It suits you. [BARFS. imagine nasu writing some shit about sakuras pure white skin or something ihni]

I didn't recognize it at first. [His heart stopped tbh]

You caught me off guard.

[springful]

[too bad for nasu this coat covers up even sakura's neck NO PURE WHITE NECKS HERE!!]

I-Is it too much? I can change into something simpler if you'd prefer. [Sakura no that was a good reaction don't worry so much... Even if Shirou just overreacts to the simplest shit.]

[projections]

[How about her slender fingers? ARE YOU WEARING GLOVES KAYE GOD?]

You don't have to go so far. Keep what you're wearing.

[He sounds apologetic and he feels bad. Maybe he shouldn't have overreacted earlier.]

[springful]

[MAN FUCK YOU i want to say yes but hand-holding is cuter when there's no gloves... the price i must pay for cuteness!!]

If you say so then... [She smiles.] But thank you. Since this is our first date, I wanted to look nice for it. I'm glad you like it.
