[Shirou raises an eye brow at that.]

Sakura, are you okay? The War's over and we don't need to get involved, but we're still Masters.

I'll go speak to Tohsaka later and um you don't have to push yourself and get mixed up in it.

[springful]

Um, yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. [This is a bald-faced lie. She's making the YEAH I'M FINE EVEN THOUGH I'M RUNNING INTO DOORS WHEN I'M NOT CLUMSY AND HAVE 20/20 VISION sort of face that is how much of a lie this is.]

But you said he was an enemy Servant, right? Maybe we should just leave this alone. [Or more like wow if he's really alive and gets mad at me for eating him Senpai needs to stay out of this.]

[projections]

There's no way you're fine Sakura. Tell me what's bothering you.

[He's used to this shit by now. SORRY SAKURA. THAT LIE WAS TOO BIG.]

He's a Servant that I have no connection with. For now I'll investigate it and I promise I'll back out if it becomes too dangerous.

[springful]

That should be fine then. [SHE'S STILL WORRIED but he's promising that he'll get out if it gets too dangerous, so that SHOULD be okay. Too bad Shirou's definition of "too dangerous" isn't the normal one.] But it's nothing, really. I'm just thinking too much, that's all.

[Remember all the shit she had to deal with when he wouldn't talk?? HAVE FUN HAVING THAT TURNED AROUND ON YOU SHIROU!!]

[projections]

[A better question is when is he ever normal? This kid has problems tbh] Are you sure that's all?

[WOW! He learned his lesson. Sakura has to speak up!]

[springful]

Well... [DEEP THINKING. While she knows she should probably tell him about it, she still thinks it's best for him if she doesn't. It might just cause him unnecessary worrying. Whether that's best for her though is another question.] It's not important anymore.

[Which is a neither a 'yes' nor 'no' to his question honestly.]

[projections]

Is it something you're not comfortable telling me?[Is that it? Shirou can only imagine why she sounds so hesitant.]

[springful]

... A little. [A lot tbh.] You might worry even though you don't need to.

[projections]

Of course I'm going to worry.

It's fine if you don't want to tell me now. I'll get mad if you push yourself again.

[springful]

I won't, I promise.

[For once she can actually keep this promise since Gilgamesh is DEAD AND GONE. There's no reason for her to push herself!! Granted, that's assuming this message is just weird spam and not actually from him.......

So she's quiet for a while as she thinks it over. The matter should be settled, but if he really is around, not saying anything to Shirou might end up putting him in danger. CAN'T HAVE THAT NOW.]

... That person—Servant, I mean. I recognize him from before.

[projections]

You know him? How? When did you meet? Did he hurt you? [Sakura knows some unknown Servant. Shirou's radar is going off and he's shooting fifty questions.]

[springful]

[Now to debate on how much to actually tell him...]

Do you remember that time when I said there was a handsome foreigner walking around my house? It was him. I didn't realize he was a Servant at the time. [Technically she isn't lying or anything... But it seems evident that there's more to it than just that, even if she isn't saying so.]

[projections]

So you met him back then. It happened a while ago, but I remember.

Was he really that handsome? [Unsure man. Shirou's curious because he's never met Gilgamesh himself.]

[springful]

[nodding] He looked like he could've been a model, or someone in a movie even. [a beat] But I like you better, Senpai, much, much better!

[Somehow that's important to say?!?!]

[projections]

I'm happy you're saying that because I like you too Sakura. [Not even gonna comment on Gilgamesh because fuck that.]

[springful]

Well, of course. It's only natural since I love you too, Senpai. [Shirou could probably come rolling out of the garbage and she'd still think he looks better than Gil... Oh but if he's done bringing it up SCORE SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO SAY HOW SHE ATE THE GUY!!]

[projections]

[Shirou pulls Sakura into a hug awkwardly and then kisses her on the lips. Sakura knows how he feels towards this!! Gilgamesh isn't nearly as important tbh.]

[springful]

[Shirou and his goddamn fucking awkward hugs I swear. But it takes Sakura by surprise, in a good way of course, and she easily kisses back, soft and sweet as she tries not to break it by smiling too much. By the time she pulls back, she's trying not to giggle. She's just so happy.]

I'm really glad you're her, Senpai.

[projections]

I'm glad too. I miss you, Sakura.

[Shirou's just going to kiss Sakura back because apparently this is a better answer?????? He's super happy too...smh. These two need to get a room.]

[springful]

[Good thing that they're at their apartment tbh BUT NO I AM HERE TO PREVENT THAT FATE. Her cheeks are hella flushed and she's reluctant to even pull away, but they do have dinner to eat.]

I'm going to miss you so much when you go. But since you're still here, let's have a good dinner together.

[projections]

That's not a bad idea. [Shirou has some concerns like...he hopes Sakura isn't pushing herself for his sake. He'll feel so bad.]

Let's eat something light for dinner.

[springful]

[Aw come on Shirou, don't worry, she's not pushing herself unless she's collapsing on the ground right after taking a bath!! Until that point it's totally healthy and normal effort, totally...]

You're in luck, Senpai. I was just finishing up miso soup for dinner.

[projections]

[SAKURA NO!! but ok he'll try not to worry so much granted this is Shirou we're talking about smh. Worries over Sakura anyways]

Your miso soup is the best. I think you've perfected it so it should be great.

[He's so excited over soup....someone please help him.]

[springful]

[Too bad Shirou HIS CHANCE TO WORRY ABOUT HER IS COMING TO AN END!! Looks at that new thread in her inbox...]

Hehe, I hope it lives up to your expectations then. I think you're still better than me when it comes to Japanese cuisine, but maybe I've finally surpassed you.

[projections]

It's not "maybe". You have surpassed me. [Because he gave up the kitchen for Sakura, but it's a small price to pay if she's happy...]
