[He put his arms around her without a moment's hesitation when she pulled him to her level.]
It is no fault of yours that things have ended up this way. Had time and circumstance allowed for it, I have no doubt I would have felt this way long before either of us came to this city. As far as I am concerned, you have done nothing needing forgiveness. And if you have, then I would give it at a moment's notice. If you would blame yourself, then I forgive you. If you would bear the weight of responsibility for this, then I would carry it right alongside you.
[Diarmuid tightened his own hold on her in response--they were both afraid, and he damn well knew it. In a matter of moments he had taken whatever happiness they'd found and stupidly destroyed it. Selfish, thoughtless idiot, how he hated himself at that moment. After all his anger at Shirou for hurting her by leaving, he had done far worse. Hypocrite.]
Don't...don't leave. Please, don't leave. [He'd struggled to maintain composure already, but an edge of desperation worked its way into his voice now.] No matter the situation...I am happy with you. It's fine if you don't love me. I would not dare seek the alternative as long as you are happy with Emiya. But please, my dearest Arturia...please stay by my side and allow me to remain at yours.
