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.

[projections]

[Nasu has won this battle.......what a sad fate]

You went through so much preparation and I just got my coat. I should be getting more excited myself but...[He ruffles his hair a bit.]

Geez, why didn't I put more thought into that? [hes sorry sakura.]

[springful]

[it's the only way to still get cute things... so he's won the battle, bu not the war!!]

It's fine, Senpai, you don't need to worry about that. I just did this because I wanted to. Besides, I like you as you are anyways. [She smiles warmly. Sure Shirou can be a bit clueless at times, but that's something she's come to like about him as well.]

tags you from spain

[projections]

I'll worry even if you tell me not to worry. [He really should be pulling his own load around here. Sakura can't do everything.]

You put more care into things I don't even think of.

it's a spanish nami tag....

[springful]

Then it's just balanced, isn't it? You put care into things I'd never even think of as well. [Like herself, for one... Even now, he's putting so much thought into how he can tell her about what's on his mind. It's a different way of caring, but it's still caring in her eyes.]

now its a tag from philadephia

[projections]

That's an interesting way to see it. Yeah, it's perfect like this. We can keep supporting each other in different ways. [He nods once in satisfaction and then hugs Sakura.]

international tags

[springful]

[She's a little startled at first since they're right in public on the sidewalk, and her cheeks flush in response. Who knows who can see them like this!! But the initial surprise quickly fades away since, well, who cares about that? Sakura's just glad that he understands, so she hugs him tightly back.]

Right. As long as we have each other, I'm sure we'll be just fine.

NO MORE INTERNATIONAL TAGS!

[projections]

[Shirou does feel a little shameless hugging out in the open. It's just a hug so this much should be fine, right? They aren't going to make out or anything. smh.]

Sakura, your cheeks are all red. Do you get embarrassed by being around me? [They've been with each other for a while now. Shirou's conscious of this stuff.]

back to domestic nami.......!

[springful]

[Yeah they can just save that for banging all over the Tohsaka mansion instead. Thanks, Nasu.]

No, of course not! [Sakura is probably the only person in the world who doesn't find Shirou to be a constant embarrassment. He is so lucky to have her man.] I'm just happy, that's all...

[And that's embarrassing in itself.]

uwoh......

[projections]

[NASU WHY.............]

I'm happy you're happy. When you're happy I feel like I don't need anything else.

Your smile is enough for me. [He means that too. ]

[springful]

It's the same for me, Senpai. As long as you're with me smiling, I couldn't ask for anything more. [She smiles widely. Being here without him would've been nothing less than a nightmare, but with Shirou here, she's already content with things as they are.]

[projections]

[Getting some inappropriate boners and shit look man im not going to be nasu and do this legit.]

I'll keep you safe so you can keep smiling. I did say I'd be your super hero.

[Shirou tugs on Sakura's hand and runs to different places. He walks into some girly stores Sakura might like.]
