  Sitting in Archer's lap while reading a book, I had my head resting against his chest. Using our connection, I was actually reading to him as well as he had his arms around me. The atmosphere was so relaxed- something I didn't realize I missed from all of the wild crap that had happened with the Holy Grail War.

  It'd only been a couple of days since destroying the Grail, so we were still trying to settle into things going back to 'normal'. We still hadn't a clue how long Archer would be able to stay nor did we yet figure out what had happened with the summoning. Archer didn't know why it happened the way it did either, so we were back to square one.

  Though, I was enjoying having the man here without having to fight. The before distant Archer was now more open to physical contact, hence why I was reading in his lap. I liked hearing the steady beating of his heart while leaning against his warm body.

  It was comforting.

  It felt safe.

  "Yumiko, Rin says she needs you to-" We all froze in the small library as Emiya stood in the doorway while leaning on the door. He was staring at Archer and I on the couch, and we were staring back at him. It looked like the cogs were struggling to turn in his brain.

  I curled up as I hid my face in my book, feeling like my face was on fire.

  "You two...." Emiya began, and my grip on the book tightened.

  "At this point, we're not even the same person. Relax, boy." Archer popped off. "You said so yourself, didn't you?"

  "I-I mean, yeah, but....Yumiko is Rin's cousin."

  "I guess, among other things, our tastes changed." Archer shrugged, being so nonchalant while I was dying of embarrassment.

  "So you two really are....uh...."

  "Lovers? Yes." I smacked Archer on the chest, and he gave me a look. "What? Do you want me to call it something else? I thought 'lovers' was nicer than fuc-" I quickly dropped my book to cover his mouth with both hands. His light eyes glittered with amusement.

  "....Huh?!" Emiya sounded shocked as his face was now bright red.

  "Shiro? I thought I asked you to-" Rin came in, and I felt like dying on the spot.

  'Damn you, Archer.'

  I felt like a child getting scolded as I sat there on the other side of the table. Rin had her hands on her hips while standing and looking down at me. We were both rather embarrassed, but it was too late to go back now.

  "How long?" Rin questioned.

  'How long what?'

  "Don't get smart with me. You and....Archer." She cleared her throat.

  'Not that long. In my defense, it started before I found out who he actually was. He still didn't have his memories back, either, so it's not like either of us knew.'

  "So, uh, you don't have any feelings for Shiro? Present Shiro, I mean."

  'No offense, he's sweet, but he's 17 and not my type.'

  "You're literally with his Heroic Spirit self."

  'Who is very different from him and older. Literally from the far, far future.'
