You know my heart like the birds know the sky. / Michiru x Shirou / BNA

Part III.

The two laid on the bed, skin uncovered, their chests raised and lowered heavily, as sweat dripped down their bodies. Michiru sighed, they just stayed there perplexed for long. After a couple of minutes she noticed Shirou had fallen asleep, she grabbed her sheets and covered him, then covered herself, curling up to his chest. She smiled, blushing, it was such a big thing to process he was hers, and that she was his. She nuzzled him with her nose. Shirou opened his right eye, and smiled at the first sight of her, she looked so goddamn beautiful. He hugged her, as their legs intertwined, his body felt so relaxed, and so did she, they wouldn't dare look away from each other until the two fell asleep.

The morning birds and warm sun woke Michiru up, the yellow light entered from her window and fell on top of half of her bed. She turned to look at Shirou, who was peacefully sleeping. She smiled softly, he looked so cute. She slowly stood up stretched, carefree of being naked. She took some clean sports shorts and a shirt from her drawer, and walked towards her room to take a shower, it was Sunday after all, she had no current plans, but a shower would always boost her up. She opened the water and left her clothes by the sink, then entered the showers. The warm yet cool water touched her skin and made her muscles tense, she felt like she had awakened, the droplets of water slid down her body. She was putting on shampoo and soap until she felt a familiar presence come into the shower. Shirou's arms hugged her from behind, he looked so sleepy. Michiru turned around to smile, and give him a small kiss. Every time she was with him she felt overly happy. The two finished showering under the cool water until they both got clean and ready. Michiru stepped out of the shower and grabbed her towel, she gave another she had kept under the sink to Shirou. She dried off quickly and put on her clothes, Shirou wouldn't stop looking at her, dressed or not, happy or sad; she was always so beautiful. She brushed her teeth and put on some perfume, Shirou just put on his clothes to head to his room later. Michiru looked at the hour on her phone. "I have to meet up with Nazuna... can you meet me here at 7? To go to the pantheon..." Michiru said unsure, but Shirou nodded. "Of course." She smiled at him, and gave him a kiss before heading out her room.

7:PM

Shirou was waiting for Michiru by the Cooperative, it was already raining just like the day before, he was wearing his normal clothes and holding a black umbrella, yet he looked different to her. She caught up to him as she walked out of Nazuna's car. She said goodbye and walked towards him, standing under the umbrella. The tanuki girl shivered slightly, Shirou noticed, ¨Here, take mine.¨He gave her his jacket, as she put it on she thanked him. The two walked in silence through the street, until Michiru decided to take Shirou's hand. The two held hands on the whole way, walking in front of calm stores and cafés until they arrived at the Anima City Pantheon. She walked in, it was like a park but without kids' games and playground. A garden with trees, benches and bushes, and graves.

She walked to the zone where the newest bodies had been buried, the ones from the incident at the concert. She crouched and looked at the graves, a sadness overcame her. She whispered something Shirou could not understand, but he didn't dare to ask what she had said, it was something private. Michiru stood up, still looking at the graves. Shirou hugged her, giving her comfort, as she leaned her head on his shoulder, the two stood under the rain for the rest of the afternoon.
