Confession

A very flustered Ame came down the hallway after a long meeting with Enkai was finally over. She sent a messenger to Emiya with the documents for the treaty and found only her guards waiting outside for her. Even Entei had left due to his captain duties. She rounded a corner and nearly crashed into Tamahome who was also coming her way. 

"What's the rush?-" he chuckled with a raised eyebrow "The world doesn't end for the next couple of millenia at least you know"


"Sorry Tamahome " Ame said adjusting her tiara "The meeting's done-I told Emiya to draw up the treaty-he must be happy"

"Wow ,sealing two country's fate took the pair of you sometime...but is it me or is that his royal ingeniousness makes you want to run and puke too?" Tamahome grinned.


"Well the sealing wasn-what was on his ..mind...um..well .in a manner of...speaking. " Ame said with some trepidation.


"I don't find that hard to believe coming from the man who reputedly prefers virgins over dessert ...so what  was on his mind could you enlighten me?" Tamahome said taking  a step closer and looking directly into Ame's eyes with some suspicion.

Ame leaned closer quietly and said in a low voice "Can we talk about this in some room and not in the hallway where myriads of servant eyes and the like are watching?"


Tamahome did not look pleased at that. "So I am guessing whatever was on his mind is less saintly and preachable than the Holy priests words in the temple? Well fine-please let us go to your boudoir. I can't wait to hear the reasons for which I will kill him in the near foreseeable future"


Ame rolled her eyes and pulled him into a nearby room,one that served as a spare room for dining. Sheets hung over most of the furniture although some of the window seats were not covered. The air was slightly musty from non use. She locked it with her bodyguards on the other side(who she noticed exchanged a look with each other before she closed the door).
 

 Ame paced to the window and said "He thinks I'm lying to him when I told him I didn't recall my memories " and she pouted puzzled by Enkai's behaviour.


Tamahome crossed his arms "Hmm..I wonder if that is a kill worthy reason" Ame cracked a smile and he said "Oh well,since you did not provide me with a suitable reason I think I'll just kill him because I hate the color of his coat ." Ame burst out giggling and Tamahome smiled. He then gave Ame a serious look "Well on a more serious note pay no heed to what that fool says .While why he thinks you would bother to lie to him about your mental health is an  attribute to that deluded notion that he has." Ame looked confused at this 
"You know about the whole solar system and every female in it-all being there for the sole purpose that is him" He said tartly rolling his eyes.

 Ame giggled again and said "I wouldn't,except he genuinely looked like I broke his heart when I told him " She pensievly looked out the window "I mean,why would he care? Even though he has been flirting with me. But he looked so serious when he asked about my memories. Like,well I don't know as if they were important to HIM. Any guesses why are beyond me" Ame said with wrung eyebrows her fingers tracing shapes on the window.

"He genuinely looked distressed? " Tamahome asked annoyed and raised his eyebrows further "Aren't you sympathising a little bit too much? Where is that little otter creature that always tailed you before anyway ?Occupy yourself with him not this Lightning flirt. Ame, he just looked serious-you may believe his sincerity when he drops dead .At all other times please remember the guy is a nonchalant impenitent rake" Tamahome stepped closer and wrapped his arms affectionately around Ame's waist.Ames eyes widened at this daring move on his part-he usually acted more proper than this. She tried to laugh it off.


"My fox cub is with the maid I can't have it tailing me in a meeting " She poked him pointedly "Impertinent he may be but I don't sympathize for no reason-I'm TELLING you something is up. I wish I knew what...though it is suspect he came after Jasmine came to the kingdom."
She paused at this and said thoughtfully "You think he likes her?"
Tamahome looked mischevously at her and said "To put it in the nicest possible way : he likes anything vaguely female and preferably untouched so my answer is a) : yes could be..who cares? and b)what are you doing for dinner tonight? "

Ame giggled and then stared at the mischevous look on his face.He was being serious.
"Hold on. WHAT?! YOU..EH?" She found herself stuttering in a not-so-royal manner that Emiya would have killed her for but she hardly cared " Did..you just..ask me.out? On a..dinner date?"

He smiled genealy "Yes.Are you free? "

Ame's mouth open and closed like a fish out of water  and she stuttered again "I-I -That was direct! Since when did you become so-bold?" She stared up him ,blue hair,green eyes and all and was very aware of how warm his arms felt around her. She remembered how much in love with him she was-but this? She didn't expect THIS-it was straight out of the blue!

He replied "Since I realized I might have competitions for you attentions ....aaaaand
Ame was so stunned at this she burst out giggling again "That General was corny..oh so corny"  and she continued giggling and poked his chest again.
" Oh? perhaps some sort of guarantee is in order "
Tamahome abruptly dragged her face in and kissed her deeply.  Ame's head instantly blanked out and her eyes closed. It seemed nothing had prepared her for how delicious a kiss-and a sudden one at that-from him would feel. She leaned in and felt him smile into the kiss and he held her tighter. Her heart started to yammer in her ears.And as sudden as he kissed her he retracted ,loosening her waist. She opened her eyes (wait when had she closed them?) and blurted " I'm free?"

He laughed at her ,pleased with himself and his pleasure increased when he saw the scarlet blush across her face "Ha!-well now you are"
Ame felt indignant and peeved said "Oi show some respect I'm the queen!"
Tamahome smirked and said "Hmmm ,not now for now you are the woman that I uhh...well the woman that I dont want to see in the hands of that rake .You have exactly two seconds to choose now : you're options are yes....or yes" Ame gawped at him and then "Ooops,time's up! See you tonight then and take care to be punctual. We dont want the queen to be setting a bad example now do we ?" He dropped his arms and sailed away to the door . Ame's jawdropped and she spluttered 
"Wait hold it!I never-Tamahome GET BACK HERE!" She yelped as he unlocked "Wait! did you just confess to me?!! Damn you DO IT PROPERLY!!"
He opened the door and exited ,not bothering to look back and only a wave in acknowledgement that he had heard her,saying "Dear madam, if you want to interrogate me, I'll be at your service tonite at 10 sharp. "
Ame stared at the now closed door light hearted, stunned and properly confused. she thought dealing with Enkai would be a puzzle-now she had someone else to wonder on too.
