Holds his hand

And before she’d know it, Romeo spun her in and was pressing his lips to her forehead.

“Happy New Year, mia bella.”

[factaerrata]

He’s holding his hand out expectantly...

[factaerrata]

It felt like it had been ages since she last saw Romeo and so ran over to him on sight. Arms wrapped tightly around him, not wanting to let him go anytime soon. “It’s really you right..? I’m not imaging things?”

@ryogai

Ah, the long awaited reunion since...well...

They were all dismissed.

And yet, and yet....

Nothing changed for how he felt, but he was vaguely aware of time passing. Of understanding time had passed. And, perhaps, with that ever-moving time, so did her heart. He was, after all, merely an over glorified familiar. A Servant. But despite that understanding, he had pursued her, showed her no end of love, and took that memory with him to the Throne.

He still loved her, cared for her, worried for her.

There were not enough words in existence to give his apologies for all that she had to suffer without him. No words that could be made to express the sorrow and regret he felt, for being unable to be by her side, though it should be a little better now.

The word ‘still’ rang out in his heart.

Still, he could not protect the woman he loved. Still, he brought disappointment to his name. Still, still, still...!

Still...he wrapped his arms around her and placed a tender kiss upon her brow, after brushing away silvery locks from her lovely face. This was like coming home.

No sweet nothings, no flirtatiousness. Just a simple, serious, loving...

“My love, I’m home.”

[factaerrata]

Keep this man from pouncing on someone he loves and drowning them with affection after not seeing them a long time? Perish the thought! Romeo would sooner die -- oh, wait.

[factaerrata]

Comes along and sweeps someone off their feet. Male? Female? Doesn’t matter. You’re beautiful.

[factaerrata]

“Hm...I am not one to be shy with my affections, however...what should I do right now, if I wish for affection for myself? How would I go about asking a lovely lady for a kiss when we have not before even shared a moment of sweet, intertwined fingers?”

[factaerrata]

“You’re beautiful and I’d love to get to know you more.”

The King of Knights takes a seat, wishing to hear the pleasant melodies he tuned.

And with the King of Knights watching, he began singing a specific song in mind that he had been practicing...just for her. “...put all your faults to bed, you can be king again...”

[factaerrata]

Since it’s Sunday...he’s willing to go around shirtless for the ladies (and some of the men). He gave a winsome smile and flexed a little. “I hope everyone is having an excellent Sunday! Shall I serenade you a love ballad?”

[factaerrata]

Everyone’s favourite wholesome Saber!

[factaerrata]

Time for him to serenade anyone willing to listen! A love ballad from him to you, his audience!

[factaerrata]

After much material gathering, some side hustles as a musician, he finally got enough for this little beauty. Even though it had been but a short while, he truly did enjoy being Nix’s husband. Would this be a bit forward? But he held the little velvet box in his hand, taking a moment to breathe and mull things over.

[factaerrata]

If Romeo needed a kiss then Nix took upon herself to surprise him with one!

What a happy surprise! To be so openly embraced by the lovely Nix like this, ah, he could die of this sweetness. His hand moved to tuck some of her hair behind her ear, before sinking into those pale locks and cradling her head so that he could return her kiss in full. He missed out on Valentine’s Day (with good reason, he knew she would be ganged up upon, so he kept his distance so she could breathe), so he wanted to make up for disappearing that day. With a kiss. And then another, and then a third. Love should be repaid threefold, after all.

“A-Are you sure?”

“If I were unsure, such words would ne’er leave Mine lips. Surety doth not dare deceive you. Please, do as you will, my sweet nightingale.”

“If you ever want to look and touch, amore mio, then you are very welcome to. I will even keep still for you.”

[factaerrata]

Stares at the Romeo being shirtless but focuses on the song.

Why stare at his chest when there is a handsome smile and soft, come hither eyes staring straight at her. His body was very nice though and he did not blame his fellow Saber for staring – his intentions today was not merely singing, but to utterly captivate.

He will sing to capture her ears, let his body capture her eyes, and maybe let his gentle stare capture her heart in the midst of hid lovely melody.
