Characters: [personal profile] Dark Rin & [personal profile] Archer.
Setting: Dormitories, specifically Archer's room.
Time: May 26th.
Format: Kirei Kotomine
Summary: Rin's getting real tired of your shit, Archer. It'll be alright to ask for help, won't it?
Warnings: Emiyangst.

He has to return sometime, she's told herself. Things happen to those who stay away from their own beds for too long and if Rin can wager a guess, he's likely been too busy during the events of the past few days to return here. Seeing as she's been dead for two of those days at least, the chances of Archer curling up in bed to rest peacefully is unlikely. That's the bet she's willing to place a wager on today as she tries to sit up in his bed.

Unfortunately, Archer has more stamina than her when it comes to waiting. Exhausting as it is to return from the dead, Rin's still going through the after-effects of what has happened to her body so eventually sitting up leads to curling up in bed and finally there goes her covers up over her shoulders.

"This is all your fault." She murmurs, completely unaware of how close to the truth the phrase was.

Funny how life without a Servant has ended up being more trouble than life with one. Had he been around, would he have stopped what was going on? Having lost the sense of determining what's wrong with her body made it difficult for Rin to make the connection; simply put, she just thought each time she fought an agent of the darkness within her that it was the magecraft wearing her down, not anything else. Now that she's ate and rested up a bit, the condition of her body hasn't changed. No matter what she does to try to fill the void, it still feels as though a part of her is now gone.

Would Archer have wanted her to continue to give up parts of herself like this?

She's not certain of anything anymore. Her pride kept her from asking for help and by time those who were her allies took notice, they were more concerned with the corruption than of herself. Just what was all of that? She's still not exactly sure as she continues to deny it in heart and mind.

That's why she needs Archer. He'll say the truth without restraint and if he fails to, she'll just make him say it. There are things she needs to hear, but unfortunately she's only willing to listen to someone who can speak so truthfully. All she needs to do is keep her eyes open long enough to catch a glimpse of the elusive man who wears her colors.

Before he can think about it, his hand over her hand moves. It shifts to her chest, to rest over her heart just as her hand rests over his.

(In truth, he isn't thinking much at all right now. He's been stripped bare of thought, left only with the willful part of him that simply can't bear to leave someone vulnerable and in pain alone.)

"It's terrible to lie at a time like this, Rin. So don't tell me you've got no heart. I've seen your heart. I've felt it...you've been kind to me when you could have tossed me aside like trash."

He leans in closer. "So I refuse to toss you aside now."
