Running your simulation training and passing out outside the room again, and having Caster Cu come across your body sprawled on the ground. He picks you up and carries you to your room, draping his coat on you as he does. Maybe even lies down beside you, tracing runes into your skin ever so gently.
I'm absolutely WEAK for forehead kisses and kisses on the top of the head, they're such protective and loving gestures. Can't stop thinking about Lancer Cu giving his master a kiss on the forehead or the top of her head to reassure her of her safety and show her he cares about her!!!
Oh my god.
That is so adorable✨️❤️
Sometimes a kiss on the top of the head or forehead feels way more intimate than a kiss on the lips.
"It is going to be okay Master"
Cu words of reassurance are followed by a soft press of lips on the top of your head. And effect of it is instant, your body relaxes a little more against him.
The lancer grins and nuzzles his cheek against the crown of your head. Taking in the smell of your shampoo as he hugs you a little tighter.
Is angst allowed? And if so may I request a headcanon on how of the any of the Cú might react to overhearing their Master say in a conversation with someone that if by chance any of the Cú killed them whether by accident or not that their Master would tell them it's okay, forgive him and die smiling? I had of Lancer, Caster, Proto or Cú Alter in mind when I was thinking about this but feel free to choose however many of the 4 you feel like writing for.
Cú Chulainn (Alter, Caster, Lancer, Prototype) Being Forgiven If They (theoretically) Killed Their Master:
Cú Alter
Unlike the other variations of Cú Chulainn, this version of Ireland's Child of Light doesn't have much of a reaction when he hears that you would forgive him if he killed you. Though to be fair, he doesn't have much of a reaction towards most things. Cú Alter is an inversion of the regular Cú Chulainn. This version of Cú finds no meaning in anything other than victory. Because of that, he feels indifferent towards many things, and that largely includes you too.
Perhaps due to his Berserker mentality and class, Alter has a very clear way of viewing & understanding situations. To him, he has been summoned as your servant. Therefore, since you are his ally, he will not kill you. So long as you do not betray him, his lance will never be pointed at you (Bond 4). If Alter did kill you, then you were/you became his enemy, and therefore he preformed his duty as both a warrior & as a king and killed you. Simple as that.
At higher bond levels or ascensions, Alter might be slightly displeased by what you had said, but wouldn't dwell on it too long or bring it up unless it affected his ability to complete the mission.
Cú Caster
Cú Caster probably wouldn't be very happy to hear this line of thinking from you. That being said, of the various Cús recorded in the Throne of Heroes, his manifestation as a Caster has resulting in him being the calmest of the all Cús in Chaldea (April Fools). Because of that, he won't suddenly jump out at you right then and there and start reprimanding you for what you had just said.
But get ready to have a talking to in private. There's no avoiding it or putting it off. Caster he may be, but he's still the same stubborn dog as always so don't think you can escape from this. Will probably have a very long chat about why you think like this. Him killing you by accident is one thing, but you forgiving him for deliberately killing you is another. He isn't mad or disappointed, but is genuinely concerned since he does care about you.
Cú Lancer
Hearing you say that you would forgive him for killing you, whether it be on purpose or by accident, pisses him off quite a bit since it hits a little too close to home. He already has to deal with Scáthach desire for death by his hand, so he'd rather not have to think about killing you too.
In life there were a lot of people who he failed to keep his promises to. His mentor, a princess, the goddess of death, and the queen of an enemy nation (Bond 4). He hopes to be a little bit more dependable this time around and would prefer to not have to add you to the list he has let down already.
Since he has a tendency to get caught up in the moment, he'd probably interrupt your conversation with that other person and let you know right there that he heard what you said. Cú when truly pissed isn't the type to get loud and yell; he gets harsh with a cold look on his face. He'll say some pretty mean things before leaving in a huff to go hit something (probably Archer). He'll forgive you eventually, it will be a while before he stops giving you some attitude.
Cú Prototype
Cú Prototype's reaction is about same as his older variant, though with perhaps a bit more emotion when he confronts you. Being younger and having less life experience, combined with his greater enthusiasm, means that there's probably going to be a lot more yelling. Being the loyal pup that he is, the thought of killing you even by accident is abhorrent to him. He'll declare right there that he'd rather kill himself first before he'd let himself kill you.
Laying a gentle kiss to the back of the other’s hand.

Fluff, Emiya x Reader x Cu relationship hinted at/mentioned, Gilgamesh being Gilgamesh, some mild stretching of canon
“Ah, y/n, I was just looking for you.”
You winced, turning slowly to face Dr Roman with a tired smile. “Just one week of rest, one week. Why is that so hard?”
Roman merely shrugged, lips pulled into a taught smile. “Sorry, but apparently saving the world doesn’t leave much time for breaks.”
“Except the annual holidays.”
“Well, yes.” He scratched the back of his head.
You chuckled and shook your head. “Come on, show me the fire I’ve got to put out.”
You followed him back to his room, Cu materialising out of thin air beside you as you walked through the door. A couple of others were there as well, Da Vinci of course, Medusa beside her chatting away happily, Lancelot and Kojiro stood calmly beside each other surveying the servants, your gaze followed their line of sight to where Siegfried stood to attention beside the console. You offered him a soft smile before glancing over at Roman.
“The floors all yours.”
He coughed. “It’s a fairly small singularity, all things considered, but still. Should be fairly easy to deal with, it looks like it’s all Archer class. The readings are picking up one servant, also Archer class, but nothing worse than you’ve handled before.”
You frowned, casting a sideways glance at Seigfried. “I’m sorry Seig, I promised I’d take you next time but…”
He nodded his head. “Do not apologise Master, I understand. The Archer class is strong against my own, and it would not do to weaken my Master in such a way. Perhaps next time.”
You nodded sadly. “I really am sorry Seig.”
“I see, so you apologise to him and yet you scold your King?”
You rolled your eyes as Gilgamesh appeared in the center of the room in a shimmer of gold.
“I don’t scold Gil, I merely point out that you turn down such missions.” You sigh. “Do you want to come?”
“Of course not, this is not a mission for a King. Take your dog with you.”
“I intend to. But I won’t hear any complaints out of you when we return, agreed my King?”
Some of the newer Servants shivered, muttering between themselves worriedly as Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes at you, but you didn’t flinch merely keeping your gaze levelled on the King of Heroes.
“Such an impertinent Master, be thankful I am fond of you mongrel.” He huffed, disappearing into golden mist once more.
“Well, now that’s done, who else can I take?”
“Surely I’m more than enough Master?”
You glanced over your shoulder at Cu and grin. “Gods it’s a good thing you’re pretty, if you think I’m letting you go into anything alone you’re an idiot. As wonderful as you are, even you can’t take on waves of enemies alone. Let’s see, Houzouin is still healing… Emiya is on kitchen duty after the last mission… I can’t put a Saber at risk like that…”
“Y/n? There is another Lancer.”
You turned to Roman, frowning deeply. “I… no, I didn’t forget any of my servants. I know I didn’t.”
“Ah, he arrived while you were away. He was quite excited when he heard Cu Chulainn was among our ranks.” The doctor chuckled and nodded at the blue-haired lancer behind you. “I’m not sure which of you may have competition but I feel like one of you will.”
“Riiight. You and I will have words later about this, but for now, where is he?”
“You may thank me later.”
A golden portal opened, depositing a man clad in green leather in the midst of the gathered servants. You rolled your eyes, bending down to offer a hand to the man. He took your hand, golden eyes fixing on your face as he bowed his head.
“Master, I am Lancer, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, it is an honor to serve under you.” Still holding your hand he pressed his lips to the back of your hand.
Your face flooded with warmth, a deep chuckle resonating in your mind as you stared at the new lancer.
“Perhaps I best tell the hound and the fake they have yet more competition, hmm mongrel?”

It’s a rare day off for the ever busy Master of Chaldea. Da Vinci insisted that you needed a break, and you weren’t going to argue with her. Especially when your favorite lancer takes your hand, leads you over to the simulator, and invites you to relax with him.
Cu smiles at you so sweetly as you find a comfy tree to rest under. It may just be a simulation but the grass, the breeze - it all feels so real. What matters most is that he’s real.
Cu is resting against a tree, and you’re leaning on him, your head on his chest as you listen to his heartbeat. You hadn’t realized before this that servants had heartbeats, but you’re glad. The steady thrum is comforting, a constant to keep you tethered to this rare, peaceful moment.
“Master?” Cu asks as he threads his fingers loosely through your hair.
“Hmm...?”
“Are you comfortable?”
“Very...” you murmur, causing Cu to chuckle.
“Good. Feel free to stay as long as you like.” His other arm wraps around your waist, as if to hold you there. He was comfortable too, from the looks of it.
Master and Servant enjoying a rare moment to relax. More Singularities awaited, but for now, you rest.
Summoning is always hell, sure you would always get Craft Essence that would strengthen and aid your current pool of servants but damnit a strong and rare servant would be nice once in a while.
You shield your eyes as the summon circle glows and the quartz you collected during your adventures disappear.
“I have arrived from the Land of Shadows. I am Scathach. Shall I call you "Master"?”
Your eyes widen and immediately reach out a hand towards the woman standing in front of you and introduce yourself. Scathach nods and takes your hand and steps closer towards you.
“I will be in your care from now on.”
You could not wipe the grin of your face the rest of the day as you show the legendary warrior around Chaldea. Well, all of your servants are legendary warriors but you know, a rare servant is a rare servant.
Your happiness, of course, did not go unnoticed by your other servants. Most of which congratulated you and were happy with the new addition to the team. Some others demanded a fight, to which you swiftly put a stop to. It was running a goddamn daycare sometimes.
“I apologize, some can get really excited.”
“It is alright Master. Say Cu Chulainn is here, yes? It seems he has matured a bit”
You tilt your head to look at Scathach before bringing your hand to your chin in thought as you focused on the remainder of Chaldea. “Well, yes, though I don’t know where you got the idea that he matured,” you reply and the legendary Lancer chuckles.
To be honest you were a bit confused. Giving their history you would thought that Cu would been the first to greet his old master, yet only briefly saw him in the common room and he quickly disappeared right after you spotted him.
Maybe he was nervous? You let out a snort at the thought which makes Scathach look at you and you wave of her concerns.
“Well this is about it. I will call you if there is a mission. If you have any questions or just want to talk the door to my room is always open.”
“Your room? All the servants have access to it?”
You tilt your head in confusion before nodding.
“Of course, everyone here is my responsibility, if there is anything wrong or even if it is just for company… I want them to know I am here. This applies to you as well”
Scathach reaches out and touches your face and for a moment you forget how to breathe. Scathach eyes seem to soften, she is quite happy that she is summoned by a kind Master, and what makes it even better that her old student was here. You know It wasn't uncommon for servants to be affectionate with you, yet it still surprised you sometimes. Especially if it was ever so slightly out of character.
You briefly wonder if she was smiling underneath her mask.
“I am happy I was summoned by such a kind Master, I-”
“Teacher.”
Your eyes snap towards unknown voice the end of the hallway and you curse whatever god that was alive. Cu Chulainn didn't look very amused and with a few steps he was before you and his old teacher.
Scathach remains unimpressed but she removes her hand from your cheek before turning to her old student. Sensings that this was your ideal time to escape you took it. The atmosphere was oddly tense and to be completely honest, you had things to do, team compositions to adjust, trainings to schedule.
You needed Scathach for the next event.
Chaldea has grown quite busy and energetic since the whole ordeal started, yet your room was still a little sanctuary.
You yawn and stretch your arms before looking back at the computer screen again. A new servant, especially one like Scathach, was a lot of work.
“Going all out for her aren't you?”
You hide your initial scare by giving blue haired man a glare, annoyed at yourself for being so immersed in you work that you didn't even hear the door open. If Mash or Romani ever found out that you actually did work, you would never hear the end of it. You stay quiet and follow Cu with your eyes as he takes a seat you on your bed. You quickly glance at the plans again before shutting monitor off so that you could give Cu your full attention.
Remaining in your chair your turned the chair around so you could look him in the eyes, yet the male stays quiet. You sigh, servants could be so incredibly difficult when came to talking about what actually bothering them.
Sizing Cu and his current state up you decide approach the problem differently. Instead of waiting for Cu to start talking, which could be hours since it was obvious a subject he would rather avoid yet still troubled him enough to reach out to you, you started the conversation yourself.
“You seem to be in a mood”
His eyes narrow at your observation, yet to your surprise he remains silent. You had expected a sarcastic quip of some sorts. You inhale before you try again.
“I thought you would be happy to see your former teacher”
Cu clicks his tongue and looks up at the ceiling as if it holds all the answers in the world. You know he loves to talk about anything other than what is actually bothering him, however it doesn't sit well with you that he is unhappy. He was one of the very first servants you summoned and got you out some sticky situations.
You open your mouth to speak again but Cu cuts you off.
“Hey, Master. Scathach may be my teacher, but…”
You lean forward, interested in where the conversation was going.
“She's stronger than the time she last ruled the castle. I mean, she's dual wielding Gáe Bolg! What's the point of me being here!?”
Your eyes widen briefly, so that was it? You could understand his fear, but he should know by now that you love all your servants and you could never throw one away, especially him. Since Cu is still focussed on the ceiling you get up up from the chair and move so that you are standing in front of the man.
“Master?”
He tilts his head so that he could look at you.
“It really must have bothered you that you didn’t even hear me approach” You say with a smile, reaching to run your fingers through his spikey blue hair, it always amazed you how soft it actually was. Cu keeps silent, choosing to focus on how your fingers run through his hair.
“I will let you in on a secret you silly dog.” At this Cu scowls but lets you continue. “I will never discard any of my servants, especially my favorite one” for the last bit you lean forward to whisper in his ear and suddenly Cu is wearing the same shit-eating grin he is always wearing. His arms shoot out to grab you around the waist, before pulling you forward so you stumble onto his lap. You chuckle as you hands delve into his hair, tilting his head upwards so that you could keep looking in those beautiful red eyes.
“You know I finally think I have some luck with women.”
You smile and lean down to bump your nose against his. “Just because I stroked your ego doesn't mean you have luck” Cú grin turns feral and tilts his head so his nose brush past yours and you can feel his lips move with every syllable. “Sometimes you have to make your own luck, plus you said I am your favorite” You don't even have to look at him to know he is smirking
Your eyes close as you breathe out one last word before pressing your lips over his.
