Fate Solicitude (Artoria Pendragon x Reader) (Saber x Reader)

Saber's A Sore Loser [7]

Within a few days, Saber was finally able to attend school with me as a transfer student. We attended school normally and Saber was able to blend in surprisingly well. Aside from her overly-formal way of speaking, she was just like any other student.

Y/N: How was your first day?

Saber: Easy, as expected, however, I do believe that some of the information taught in your History class was not accurate.

Y/N: The more time that goes by, the more a story gets twisted and changed. Even your story is a lot different than you might think.

Saber: I do believe you.

Nina came walking down the hall before noticing us.

Nina: Y/N, hey!

Y/N: What's up? You look awfully bubbly today. Good news?

Nina: Well, there's been a lot of good news, but probably nothing you're interested in. Although if there is anything that concerns you, I did manage to find a bunch of Freshmen interested in joining the Dodgeball team.

Y/N: That's good. How many?

Nina: Too many... I don't know how we'll weed through them, but Kam and I will figure something out.

She looked at Saber. They hadn't gotten a chance to meet before.

Nina: Oh, sorry for being rude. I didn't see you there. My name's Nina, are you a friend of Y/N's?

Saber: I am Artemis, a transfer student staying with Y/N. It's nice to meet you.

Nina: Wow.

Nina looked Saber up and down, focusing mainly on her hair.

Nina: What hair products do you use? Your hair is almost glowing.

Saber: Products? I was not aware that such a thing existed for use on hair alone.

Y/N: It's all-natural...

Nina: Amazing. I'm kind of jealous. And that single strand sticking out the top of your head... It works! I think it's called an 'ahoge'?

Saber started to blush. She clearly wasn't used to people commenting and complimenting her on her physical appearance.

Saber: Thank- you...

Nina: Y/N, you should bring her by the Dodgeball club today.

Saber: Dodgeball?

Nina: Never heard of it? Some consider it a sport and some just consider it a hobby, but we take it seriously. It's pretty fun, though. If you've never heard of it, you might like it if you see it.

Saber looked at me.

Y/N: We'll come by. I just need to catch up with my brother first and then we'll come through.

Nina: Alright, see you soon then. It was nice meeting you Artemis.

Nina waved and left. I looked at Saber who was messing with the strand of hair coming out of her head.

Y/N: You don't like it?

Saber: No, it's not that. My appearance is just not something I have ever paid any mind to.

Y/N: Well, in today's era, people pay a lot of attention to outward appearance, so you should start expecting people to bring it up.

She started toying with her ahoge. I couldn't tell if she actually liked it or if it was an insecurity of hers.

Y/N: I think it looks funny but in a good way. You look very pretty.

I wasn't lying, but I was taking advantage of her vulnerability and poking fun at her to make her ease up.
