Writing Our Story ♞Gilgamesh × Arturia♞

Finally Found

(edited)

Arturia's POV./

After seconds, I opened my eyes again, and found myself in a forest. I looked around, trying to recognize the place, but I couldn't. I had no idea where we were. Nor where this place was. I started walking, looking for someone, or something, when suddenly, I heard a groan. I speed walked to the direction from where the sound came, and found Gilgamesh, laying on the ground, rubbing his head, and a trail of blood dripping from his head, passing by his left cheek.

I rushed to his side, and dropped to my knees, cupped his face in my palms, and asked, with widened eyes, "What the hell happened to you? Oh my god, look at this blood!"

"H-hey, it's okay, nothing major.." He murmured. Nothing major?

"Are you kidding me? Your head is like, opened. This wound is so deep! How did this even happen?" I asked, frowning.

"I don't know, all I know is that, when I opened my eyes, I found myself on the ground with a bleeding head." He answers, frustrated.

"Okay, it's okay, I'll just--" I take the fabric of my blue dress in my hands, and cut it, to obtain a sheet of tissue. I roll it in my hand, and started dabbing it on Gilgamesh's wound, trying stop the blood.

"You ruined your dress.." Gilgamesh whispered, head low.

"It's just a dress, never mind it." I say, smiling at him.

He looks up, and I notice the pinkish tint that is spread across his cheeks, I tilt my head to the side, and ask, "Is something wrong? Am I hurting you?"

"No, I'm okay.." He says softly, and takes my free hand in his. "You're a very kind-hearted person, Arturia.." He whispers.

I blush at his comment, with my mouth parted, not knowing what to answer.

Soon, his other hand travelled up to my cheek, and cupped it. He was staring at me intensively. His red orbs, piercing through my eyes. I blinked repetitively. His face started getting closer and closer. Was it gonna happen? Was what I'm thinking about to happen? That is gonna happen?!

Before I could ask myself anymore questions, Silver and Phoenix appeared behind Gilgamesh, "Oi, blondie, thought we lost-- Eww, not in the woods, you savages." Silver exclaimed, with a disgusted look on his face. Phoenix chuckled behind him.

This is so embarrassing! "We weren't doing anything, you idiot! He got hurt in his head, and I was just helping!" I hissed.

"And breathing his scent, sure blondie," He answered, rolling his eyes. My jaw dropped, and my face is now red from anger.

"What the hell?! I was not! I would never! Gross, as if I would kiss him, are you insane?!" I yelled.

In a brief second, there was hurt in Gilgamesh's eyes, but it soon disappeared, and got replaced by a cold glare.. so cold that his eyes' colour changed into another shade, a darker one. Okay, think I just messed up.

"Okay, okay we get it! Alright, just stay here, we'll go look for some village or a stupid housie, anything, wait for us here, since King of Heroes isn't really available for now," Said Silver, then disappeared, Phoenix along with him.

When they were finally gone, I glanced at Gilgamesh, who was gazing upon a little flower at his side. I need to say something.

"U-um.. Gil, listen, I'm sorr--"

"Knock it off, Saber. 'm not in the mood," He glared at me, "And do not call me Gil." He said, with a stern voice.

Saber..? Now I feel it, the sting, the ache in my chest, it's like something heavy is put on it; All he's been doing was protecting me, making sure that I was okay, that everything that I needed was in my hold. And how do I pay him back? By speaking about the fact that if I kissed him, it would be like I kissed a rat, a freaking rat! I'm the world's most horrible person ever! No wonder I failed being a King..
