[They've done this so much they probably know the exact amount of water and setting of the stove........... Why this.]
It's obvious, isn't it? [Seriously Shirou you show up half-dead every other day, she's not going to have a whole lot of questions to choose from.] What have you been doing all this time? What kind of training gets you so injured every time?
I need to improve as a magus. You know I can't do that without putting my life on the line.
Every time I failed at projecting I came home injured. [THE COMPLETE AND HONEST TRUTH...it sucks. Shirou's gonna go sip tea more to distract himself. He doesn't want to admit how he's so bad at magecraft this is what he needs to resort to.]
There's too much danger here, Sakura. [Shirou slams his tea cup down and sadly looks at Sakura.] What if something happens and we suddenly can't defend ourselves?
I need to protect you no matter what so that's why. I can't waste my time.
Rider can protect us, and I'm working on my own magecraft as well. [RIDER'S OP REMEMBER and at least Sakura's training doesn't get her nearly killed... Shirou needs to stop this trend.] Besides, things have been okay for a while now, haven't they? Maybe things are settling down here.
[Not to mention that tbh half the dangers aren't ones they can defend against....... Or does Shirou think he can punch a digital arcana card's magical effect away.]
She will if I tell her to. [Is this her fate?? To always use her Command Seals up telling Rider to protect Shirou???? How sad. Naturally though, Sakura can tell that that's not quite good enough.]
It's okay if you don't protect me so much. I'm more worried about you.
You're being really selfish right now, just so you know. [POUTING... She just wants to selfishly keep him safe, is that so much to ask for!! But she knows that he probably won't budge on this GOD.]
But you won't stop training no matter what I say, will you?
[Shirou's just smiling when she says that. He just wants to protect her more than anything else! Who cares about ideals man... He doesn't. It's okay to be selfish just for this. Shirou just gives Sakura a clumsy hug he's injured ok. It's the most awkward hug he's given her, but he's doing all of this for her sake.]
No, I've made up my mind. Archer's helping me train. He told me it was necessary to hide it from both you and Tohsaka. I didn't mean to keep it from you.
[How can it be the most awkward when he's always giving awkward hugs tbh... Honestly, Sakura's still not that happy with the situation! She wants Shirou to be safe!! She relaxes in his arms though, lightly wrapping her arms around him as well.]
So it was Archer's idea... [ACHAAAAAAAAAAAAA okay no she won't get that mad. Probably.] I'm going to look into healing magecraft then. If I can't stop you from getting hurt, I want to help make you better as quickly as possible.
I'll figure something out. You don't need to worry about that. [LEAVE IT TO HER MAN she'll learn how to use healing magecraft even if it means a contract with the devil himself. :')]
[She leans forward, lightly kissing him on the forehead. Does he even need to ask? Like lbr here, Sakura would probably forgive him for cold-blooded murder if it came down to it.]
As long as you understand. Don't do it again, okay?
[Her eyes widen slightly, surprised that he kissed her first without her doing something to prompt, but she kisses him back easily, smiling against his lips. When she pulls back, she laughs a little.]
I'm surprised. Usually I'm the one who has to make the first move.

I can't expect Rider to help me. [Look man she's obviously gonna prioritize Sakura. ]

no subject
Why is everyone saying that to me lately? [Because you're kind of reckless and dumb Shirou....]
no subject
Because you're reckless and get yourself hurt like this! Of course others would worry!
no subject
Let me continue what I'm doing because I just want to selfishly protect you.

You might want to try asking around first before you get any ideas.

Will you forgive me, Sakura? [He seems to be looking away awkwardly as if he can't stand making her worry.]

Ah, Senpai, I can see your cheeks turning red. [THE COUGH COVERED NOTHING.]

My face isn't red at all. You must be imagining it.
