Fate Series: Mordred Oneshots

What Matters

No spoilers but I have a serious problem when it comes to keeping things plain and simple. I just can't seem to do it right...

        His constant practice had finally paid off. After countless attempts that had all failed, (y/n) finally achieved success. Not only that, but he also tested it to make sure that it was consistent. And so the big plan was ready to be put into action. "Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" Mordred asked as he entered their shared apartment, obviously suspecting him of something. She had every right to since (y/n) was certainly planning a secret. "What? Quit looking at me like that, it's embarrassing," Mordred whined as she quickly looked away from him.

        "Did you have any plans tonight? I want to take you somewhere." Her gaze was his on him again when he spoke.

        "Since when do I have plans? Are you okay? Did you hit your head or something?"

        "So you'll come with me right? As in, right now. It's best if we go right now," (y/n) urged. "I promise you'll like it."

        "Like what? You haven't explained a thing since you walked in. Just tell me what it is," Mordred muttered as she got up from the couch. She had been reading up until he interrupted her. Not a novel of course since Mordred couldn't stand those. Instead she had been giving her full attention to the latest update in her favorite manga. It was clear that she was growing impatient with him.

        "Come on, you'll know when we get there. We have to hurry before the sun sets or else it won't be as cool," (y/n) urged as he began to pull her off the couch. She allowed him to lead her by the arm as they left their apartment and began to head towards seemingly nowhere. They passed countless stores and people before Mordred decided to question him again.

        "Where exactly are we going? We're nowhere near a bar, so you can't be taking me there."

        "No bars. You know I can't take you to any more bars. Not ever," (y/n) reminded.

        "It's not like it was my fault," Mordred mumbled in her defense just as they turned a corner down a secluded road. "You're kidding me. We've been to this old building before. There's nothing here. Why would you bring me here?"

        "Just come on, it's a surprise of sorts." Mordred kept questioning him after that, but he didn't fail to take notice of her looks of skepticism. They went into the abandoned structure and made their way to the roof where they had a clear view of the sky if they looked straight up. Unlike the inside of the building where dust had plenty of room to settle, the roof was relatively clean.

        "If you dragged me away from my manga just to come look at some stars, I'm not talking to you for a week," Mordred threatened. It was far better than her usual threats even if none of them ever came to fruition. "We can't even see any stars in the city. I know that much about them..."

        "We're not here to see stars. Come here, I'll show you why I brought you out here."

        "I'm literally standing right next to you. What do you want?" she growled. Regardless of her impatience, (y/n) gently pulled her in front of him so that she faced him. She was trapped in a half hug and (y/n) didn't hesitate to press his forehead to hers.

        "The hell are you doing..." she mumbled having frozen in place.

        "Thought it would work better this way. Just stay still for a bit and close your eyes. Think about the one place you want to go to the most. It can be anywhere, absolutely anywhere," he answered. Mordred was hesitant to follow his instructions, but did just as he asked. He also closed his eyes and allowed his magecraft to activate. To ensure that he could pull this off, he had tested out different places in different times. Though he had never attempted it by using another person's thoughts, he was quite confident that it would still work. "You can open your eyes now. Tell me what you see."
