Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Alluring Angel. Enjoy the 1200-word chapter. I don't own DxD, Ichiei Ishibumi and a few others do.
"Ok, if you keep walking around without rest?" Sol questioned as he looked around the room. "Then I'm going to tell Rias." Sol put in which caused Corvus's eyes to widen in shock.
Sol chuckled, knowing Rias was within earshot. The woman wasn't subtle with how much she cared about Corvus. Corvus was just too dense to understand romance like anything from Corvus at the moment.
"Kid, how do you honestly feel?" Sol asked Corvus who was trying not to aggravate his previous wounds at the moment. "Tell me EXACTLY what these feelings are like at the moment. Humor me." Sol stated while Corvus felt heat rush to his face.
He still couldn't understand the feeling, he felt it anytime Rias came to mind. He thought it simply concern to her. Concern that she returned; he didn't think it stupid to feel it at the moment.
"I feel a lot of concern for her." Corvus stated as Sol hummed. "And I told you I like being around her. She's nice, Rias is smart and a good fighter… But she doesn't seem like one, I think she doesn't like fighting like I do. And I'm always scared when she's upset…. And want to destroy anyone who makes her feel like that." Corvus said which caused Sol to chuckle and turn his head.
He could see Rias over his shoulder. The woman was interested in this talk. Sol nodded towards Corvus.
"Sounds like you don't want to leave anytime soon as long as she's around." Sol said while looking to the side. "Don't you? Rias is as important to you as she is to me, yeah?" Sol asked as Corvus nodded and then perked up.
He turned to look over his shoulder at Rias. Corvus froze up as Sol chuckled to himself.
"Kid? Learn what the hell a crush is." Sol said before he looked between the duo. "I'll leave you both to talk this out. Peace, kid." Sol put in and then vanished.
Corvus leaned on the wall, feeling the same reaction he had just felt climbing up his spine.
"Uh… Sorry, I didn't know you were there." Corvus said while looking to the side. "I didn't mean to offend you, Rias. Sol just digs through my head and looks out for me. I thought we were just having one of those regular talks… Damn lizard at this point is being a pain in my ass." Corvus said as he scratched at the back of his neck.
Sol ignored the barb, being treated like a pet was worth Corvus finally having something good happen to him.
"Did you mean any of that?" Rias questioned as Corvus blinked, offput by the question.
"Yes…." Corvus said while he let out a hum. "I don't feel like leaving as long as you're here. Your nice and funny and don't boss me around… And I think the next time I actually annoy you your going to give me nightmares…. Sol, I'm going to beat your scaly hide into next week." Corvus said while he brushed off his jacket, he wore over the bandages.
"You know I'm pretty ticked you almost died during last fight." Rias said and narrowed her blueish green eyes. Corvus held up his hands at this. "But I care a lot about you. I'm honestly hoping you stay." Rias said while Corvus cocked his head to the side.
'I swear if he doesn't catch on anytime soon, I'm going to just tackle him…' Rias thought to herself as Corvus finally allowed himself a smile.
"I'd like to stay if that's alright, even when my mission or whatever is done…" Corvus said and drummed his fingers on his arms. "And as I told you, I don't like you getting hurt. He almost killed me, if he killed you? I'd rip his head off." Corvus said as he clenched his fists.
"Rias, would you like going around town with me?" Corvus asked to which Rias blinked. Corvus cleared his throat at this to speak at the moment.
"I like hanging out with you. It's fun like I told you." Corvus said while rubbing out at his temples. "I also kinda don't want to rest. I kinda have a feeling your going to make me sleep." Corvus said as Rias glared at him once again.
This caused him to look down at the ground. Sol almost wanted to roll his eyes at how dense his host was.
'Kid can brawl with almost anyone… And will get as strong as Ria's brother. Yet someone actually liking him breaks him.' Sol thought to himself.
Then he thought about Xenovia. He knew the soldier of the church also cared about Corvus. She wouldn't take it well that Corvus was with Rias. He almost felt sorry for how clueless the girl was at romance.
Then again? Part of him was proud at the kid finally asking Rias out… Even if Sol knew he'd have to explain to Corvus what a date was.
"Kid, could you go talk to the others for a moment? Tell them your leaving?" Sol asked as Corvus shrugged and started to leave.
Sol turned to look at Rias and then cleared his throat.
"One? I'm surprised he actually asked you out." Sol said as he blinked. "Two, for the love of your brother, please drill into his rock-hard brain what a date is. And even if you can handle it? Please watch out for Xenovia. I know she's not going to try something as brazen as crashing your date. However? She's not going to be ok with you getting to him first. The kid also isn't going to tell her off. He's too nice and even if you don't like her? The kid still has a bond with her." Sol put in and gestured around at the area.
"Do you honestly think Corvus is that oblivious?" Rias questioned and got a raised eyebrow in response.
"Are you expecting him to admit his undying love for you?" Sol asked and cracked his fingers. "The kid barely understands the chicken wing wanted you for garbage reasons. He cares about you, but he's not good at anything that isn't cracking skulls like eggs." Sol said as he looked around.
"Just tell the kid you love him." Sol stated as he bobbed his head back and forth. "He loves you. The kid wouldn't turn himself into a kabob unless he cares. So please stop expecting him to jump at you and tell him. And don't let Xenovia go after you, I know there's a big war ready to explode asap." Sol said and vanished.
Rias was left alone with her own thoughts.
Author Note
Phew. Another chapter done! I want to point out that next chapter. I want to point out that next chapter will be delayed by a few months. Next chapter will be in June or such and will show Rias and Corvus's date as well as set up Xenovia's arc with Corvus and such. Next chapter will be 1200 words or such hopefully and all that.
