Only if you promise to try to get some sleep at night. It wouldn't bother me but you can't keep Saber awake at all hours.

[She has to work too.]

[codere]

Are you afraid I'd mess up her sleeping schedule as well? That's cute of you to worry.

I promise I'll still get sleep at night. If I didn't, then when would we get time together like this?

[swordboning]

If that's what you want to use as an incentive, that's good enough for me.

Were you going to get to sleep now?

[codere]

I think I can now that my mind's been put at ease.

[ She'll still worry a bit, but so long as he's not upset with her? Rin can rest a bit. ]

Stay with me?

[swordboning]

I'll be right by your side.

[Let him tuck her in, okay??]

[codere]

[ He has to. It isn't as if she can rearrange her blankets on her own and lay down at the same time. Moving from his arm to the bed, she curls up as she usually does and waits for him to get down to business. ]

[swordboning]

[No seriously, tucking her in so she can get comfortable.

But he's not laying around all dressed up for the day. Gotta change yo.]

[codere]

[ But does she get to watch? Because this is what's important to her. ]

[swordboning]

[He'll allow minor allowances in private. Even if Rin is intentionally keeping her eye on him.]

[codere]

[ Dat EX+ Rank Ass. ]

Hey Archer? [ Pulling the sheet up closer to her mouth, she asks in a muffled voice: ]

Can you brush my hair?

[swordboning]

Where's your brush?

[Who knows where she tosses it after using it? Archer only cleans up so much after her.]

[codere]

[ She has a system, Archer. A very delicate system. ]

I think it's in the usual mess.

[swordboning]

Have I ever told you how incredibly helpful you are?

[Such a great Servant. A scholar and a gentleman. ...trying to sort through said mess.]

[codere]

I told you where it was. [ At least where she thinks it is. ]

You get to brush my hair. Why complain? Do you want me to take my request back?

[ Is she really threatening that? ]

[swordboning]

[Finally fishing out a brush. Two bucks says it's Saber's though.]

I doubt you would actually do that considering it would make things easier for me. Unless this is some type of unusual foreplay for you.

[codere]

[ They both have blonde hair. It's all right. ]

I thought brushing my hair might relax you, is all.

[swordboning]

Relax me, huh? And what about you?

[codere]

What about me? I'll roll around in bed for three hours and maybe pass out to make time go by quicker before getting up.

[swordboning]

And if I said I could have you sleeping in less than an hour?

[codere]

I'd say that's lewd. [ Of course she would, she's Rin. ]

[swordboning]

It has nothing to do with that. Now sit up so I can take care of you.

[codere]

[ Sitting upright in bed and pulling the pillow close to her chest. ]

Someday we should get Saber in here with us then I can brush her hair while you brush mine. It'd be cute.

[swordboning]

[All the tucking in effort is lost as he pulls Rin into his lap. Mostly so he can start working on her hair. No tugging allowed! He knows to take what he can in his hands and run the brush through it so it doesn't pull on the scalp.]

Another time, maybe.

[codere]

For now it can just be you and me.

Also you don't have to be so gentle. I've had my hair pulled in a lot of fist fights.

[swordboning]

Rin....

[He doesn't stop what he's doing.]

No matter what you've been through, I'm going to be the person who'll treat you properly. So I'll keep up what I'm doing.

[SO SUAVE]
