Could someone bring me my homework from school, please? I seem to have injured myself in the process of saving a child's life.

[He sounds tired, but not too upset.]

I can be found in my hotel room, 707 at the Bay View hotel.

Heh. Emiya, is this the first time you've heard of me missing a school day? I can think of no better reason for it. -Ah, that's Emiya Shirou, if it wasn't obvious, I would have switched to your first name long ago but I never really knew if that was too blatant a sign of my feelings. I suppose that's a little silly now that I've thrown myself into danger for you.

I... [He fidgets a little, turning red as the camera clicks on.] I think that it's been too long for me to keep hiding this. I was always hoping that you would realize on your own. That you paid enough attention to the little ways I acted around you and you would realize why I did everything I did. But maybe that isn't fair to you, and it's selfish of me to refuse to say this.

I'm in love with you.

[...crap.

He had a feeling that was the c- wait we're talking about Shirou so there's no way he had any way of knowing Issei's feelings until its too late.

Like right now.]

Issei... I...

You don't feel the same way. [Not a question. Not surprised. Just a statement - Issei already knew that his feelings were one-sided.]

...I'm sorry.

[There was only one phrase he could utter.]

It's all right. I expected that.

We're still friends, right?

Of course we are. You can't get rid of me.

...good.

[There's a sigh of relief there.]

...

[But it still bothers him.]

It's not your fault.

...still, I feel bad about this.

However, you can't do anything about it. I don't want you to pity me.

...

[Shirou looked awkward for a moment.]

...Why?

['Did you love me?']

I must have realized it a few months after we met. You were kind, you were giving. You were the kind of undeniably good person that I wasn't sure existed. And because you had your flaws, I didn't feel that you were out of my reach. I wanted to be there for you - I wanted to be there with you, and protect you from the trouble your nature led you into. I wanted just to have lunch with you and hear you laugh, and really see you happy.

All of those things are still true.

...

[Hang on let him take a moment to absorb it.]

[As many moments as Shirou needs, Issei will give him that.]

...I have to tell you something, Issei.

Yes?

...do you know the legend of the Holy Grail?

Not in great detail.

Would you think I'm crazy if I told you that there was a war centered on it that happened in Fuyuki recently?

Someone who wasn't my best friend of two years told me already.

...

There's a reason for me not telling you about that, Issei.

It had better be one good reason. A good enough reason that it justifies how you could have died and I would never have known why you disappeared! Don't you understand what that would have done to me?!

Well, uh.

That woman that stayed in your temple?

She's related to that war.

She is? Really?
