[Action]

[Shirou was out for a walk. He decided on a change of pace, so he began to walk through the upper-class district of Sirocco. He looked at all of the elegant houses as he walked, but then he turned a corner and stopped. Why? Because one of those buildings looked too familiar to him.

It was a large, Japanese-style house. The moment he entered the proximity, he could detect a bounded field surrounding the house.]

This...this is my house. But...what is it doing here?

[Shirou enters and looks around. Everything seems to be in place, where he remembers them. He walked into his room and sat down on the floor.]

This is weird...but at the same time it's also kind of nice. I feel at home here.

[After giving the house one last look-through, he leaves and heads back to the Ermis Suites. For the rest of the day, he can be seen carrying things from the Ermis Suites to his house, or from the shopping district to his house.]

Of course not! I just need to check the fridge first. Food's no good if it spoils.

Fine, let's just hurry.

[It takes them fifteen minutes to get to Shirou's house on foot. The Japanese-style architecture is a stark contrast to the Western-style architecture on either side of it. The bounded field is there, too, which will result in a slightly odd feeling as Rin passes through it.]

Here. This is my house.

[ She doesn't really notice the field as she passes through it, disregarding it in favor of checking out the house. ]

Geez, this is so huge!

[Shirou unlocks the door and steps into the entrance hallway.]

Yeah. My dad had a lot of money, so we had a nice house.

[He's conveniently omitting the fact that their money is managed by a yakuza boss.]

Huh? That must mean you're rich or something.

[ Stating the obvious. ]

How are you going to pay for all of the bills with a house this large?

Government stipend and jobs. It can't be too expensive for those combined.

Well... good luck with it, I suppose.

[ She's going to miss being his neighbor but the first rule of tsundere: never admit things!! ]

You're pretty far away from the hotel too.

Um...well, you know, you can stop by whenever. This doesn't mean we have to see less of each other.

What makes you think I want to see more of you? I'm glad you've moved out of that stupid hotel. Now I don't have to see your stupid face so often!

But what you said earlier...

Earlier? I've said a lot of things, Shirou. You're going to have to be less vague.

[Dammit. Shirou is getting embarrassed just by thinking about it.]

...When...when you said that...thatyoulikedme.

Oh that? I didn't think it was important enough to talk about.

Of-of course it is! These are feelings! Besides, didn't you want to hear my answer?

Do you think I want to hear your answer? "Yes I like you but I'm still moving as far away from you as possible" seems pretty stupid all around.

[Okay, that's it. Blushing be damned. Rin is getting one (1) Shut Up Kiss courtesy of Shirou.]

[ A Shut Up Kiss is fine too. So fine that it stuns her into complete silence and possibly knocks the tsun right out of the ballpark. ]

S-Shirou.. [ IDIOT!! ]

Rin...I-I like you, too. So you can come here any time. The door's open for you.

You do?

[ It shouldn't be too surprising, but it still hits her like a truck. After all of their time spent together and the reckless things he's done to protect her.. ]

You'll still come by and visit me too, right?

[Shaky smile.]

Definitely. And I'll cook for the two of us, and take you out to dinner...a-and all the other stuff that guys do for their girlfriends.

G-Girlfriends?

[ Wait, she never said she would be his girlfriend! Waving her hand around, she struggles with forming words. ]

I n-never--!! Well, y-you know--!!

...E-eh? What's wrong?

Y-You can't just assume we're together because we kissed!

...Um. Sorry.

But...it's possible, right?
