Silent useless words - Part 1
Such a strong scent, such a sweet taste. You're late for the tea party, and so the drinks and cakes got cold. But don't worry, there's always each other.
DISCLAIMER: Dxd doesn't belong to me~. Also,warning for lemons this chapter, and since you guys are smart enough, no other warning is necessary. Stay tuned!

...
"Gasp! Haaaaah~! Haaaaah~!"
"Welcome back, Hong Long. You sure have improved your endurance!"
"Hah~! Ichijou-san is back~! Don't worry us like that anymore, please~!"
"Huh. He back."
"..."
"Hah...?" And cleaning the drool and water off my mouth and blinking a few times, I notice that I was now sitting on the floor of the changing room leading to the Gremory's hot springs. Moreover, I had a towel to cover my shames and my peerage mates were already changing, except Ryuubi-sensei, who was law-pillowing me, kneeled on the floor. "What... What happened? I feel... Doozy..."
"You fainted while in the springs. You said you wanted to test your skills against the heat once again and so faced the waters while making us count all the way!" Ryuubi-sensei cheerfully commented while also standing up so she could walk to her basket and change to her pajamas, while I wrap that towel around my waist, walking to my own basket of clothes.
Oh right, after what happened that night, a good dip into the Gremory's known hot springs was all I could ask for. Moreover, I wanted to also improve my endurance against the heat and the water, so I asked Ryuubi-sensei and the rest to help me with that. It seems that I fainted midway through and they reduced my sorry weak ass from drowning.
"How long did I last?" I asked, still drooling mineral water out of my mouth like a fountain statue. My goal was around two minutes, but since I started to lose consciousness midway through, I might have lost some seconds.
"A minute and a half." Tasha winked, and for that I grunted. Even less than 100 seconds, that's so lame. It's not like I am very heat sensitive, but I think relaxing too much is what causes my weakness against hot springs. Being uptight all the time, I'm surprised those little relaxing moments didn't put me in a coma! I crack my neck a few times. "Bad endurance. Short shot. Women don't like that. I don't mind, though."
"You..." I groan. And to top it off, she goes and insults my masculinity. I don't care much since I don't have much, but it still hurts a bit. Oh well, I put my underwear and pants and sigh. "I wonder why I am so weak against hot springs water. Maybe since I'm relaxing, my body just gets too careless and can't help but to shut down eventually..."
"It's a possibility. Hong long wasn't a fighter before his reincarnation, so maybe once the tension weakens, he becomes careless as well? I must say, while bothersome, it is also strangely endearing." Ryuubi-sensei giggles. Me? Careless? I may have learnt a thing or two from each of my troublemaking sisters, but she's right to say I wasn't a fighter before becoming a devil. Wait, since I was totally okay in having them around to help me, does that mean I'm also getting relaxed with them, even in the bath? Uuugh~, its not like I haven't seen them naked a few times, but still. "Perhaps some stimulation might help you build endurance if carelessness is the key? Would you like to grope my breasts while submerged into the waters?"
"Hah...?"
"Heeeh~?! Liu Bei-sensei, you can't be this shameless~! Ichijou-san will grow uncomfortable!" And Whiswain came with between us, waving her hands in front of herself while her face was as red as a tomato. No joke, that was quite an invitation, and so nonchalant I almost had a stroke. Ryuubi-sensei on the other hand just smiled and started to grope her own bosom.
"If its for the sake of my dear peerage mate, maybe a bit of skinship won't be so bad. I also trust Hong Long enough to know he won't take advantage of my offer!" Her smile is so bright and disposition, so positive, I felt a bit bad for taking her offering to the lewd side, even for an attosecond. I mask my blushing face with a hand while Whiswain continues to fume by her ears.
"But still~! Everybody is so bold too~...!" She starts to pout now while I still try to hide my blushing self. However, for a moment, she stops and gives me a small glance, hiding herself behind her pink towel and with trembling lips. "If its for Ichijou-san's sake~... But even so, its so embarrassing~..."
"I can take care of that problem myself. I'm grateful for the intentions, but I rather not." I sigh, using the towel now to dry my hair up. I really do appreciate the help and all the gropes that might've ensued, but I feel that I already have too many help to deal with my shit. Now being a weaksauce in the bath and having to deal with that would be too pathetic, even for me. Maybe I should start with a simple bathtub so I won't drown.
"Getting self-conscious there?" Tasha smiled, and yet again I grunt. I was so focused on my own misery, I didn't notice her creeping behind me so she could rest her head on my shoulder and flash me a literal side glance as if she's using the curve of my neck as a pillow! Whoa, from where did that come from? "How about. Surprise jointed bath? Entering smoothly. Help you not drown. Have fun while at it."
"Tasha, I know this is not new, but would you stop being so mellow? I'm starting to feel a little sticky with your around." I murmur, giving a side-glance to the stare on my left shoulder, which would just blink a few times to open a catty smile. I said 'sticky', she's really rubbing her habits on me.
"Me, mellow? How about you?" She chuckles, and I whip my head to the opposite direction. I can feel my face burn a little, so much my eyes start to sting. "Crybaby. Cute Tsukino-chin. You do love us, very much. Eh?"
"S-Shut up." I murmur, shaking my body so she would unstick herself onto me finally. Damn it, why does she need to bring that up? It's not like I was that worried about Annie, she's a ninja, she knows how to deal with things! I just reacted like that because... Because... I had something in my eye, and Everybody from kaichou's peerage was hurting me. I sniff a little. "I... I was worried, yes, but... I knew you guys would pull it off alive. You girls... Are way cooler than me to die..."
"Hahah, blushing. Cutey." Tasha pokes my cheek. "Hohohoho..."
"S-Shut up, I mean it." I dismiss her affection with a small slap with the back of my hand, and the witch simply skips back to stand right next to Ryuubi-sensei, sticking her tongue out for me in a playful way. Haah~, I was suppose to be relaxing after all that happened, but those girls just don't give me any rest. "Only I to withstand you girls. You were so cool back then at the conference, why can't you be like that all the time?"
"Personally, I wouldn't mind Hong Long being sentimental like that either. Opening your heart to us is endearing indeed." Ryuubi-sensei laughed.
"I said shut up!"
"Hahahahah...!"
"Hohohohoh..."
*BAM!*
"...?!" And all the laughter ceased the moment we heard a blow right next to us, the echo vibrating the whole changing room as there were a few cracks on the wooden wall next to the clothes basket. The author of such attack? Kan'u, who had her fist buried into a wall, steam just oozing from her fists. We all turned to her in surprise.
"My, aren't you all taking such situation as lightly as possible? Specially you, Hong Long. I knew you were an idiot, but this extend is something I could only dream of." She whispers in a raspy voice while walking to my direction wearing only panties and a tank top. I was about to say what the hell she means by that, but instead she palms my chest and pushes me to a wall, pinning me there. "At least show some sense of hesitation or distrust towards the previous Knight of Lady Berolina! Accepting her back like nothing happened not only makes me lose respect for you, but turns you into a liability. If you forgive everyone and everything that has wronged you, then what will convince me that you won't hesitate or withdraw in a pinch, huh?!"
"H-Hey, that's not very nice, Guan Yu-san...!" Whiswain says, shaking her hands up and down in protest while doing a whiny face. Kan'u's response was a death glare that simply silenced the grim reaper. "S-S-Sorry..."
"And be quiet. Now, to you..." She turns her attention to me, her hand on my naked chest going up until she reaches for my throat and starts to choke me lightly. Her red eyes have an intense stare and her grip is hard to ignore. "... What can you say about it? I have you know, betrayal and defection are usually punishable by death so that the traitor won't commit the same sins as before. Yet, you accepted her regardlessly, despite the initial violence. Tell me, what prevents me from snapping your neck and end the liability that is you, red dragon emperor?"
"..."
"Huh? No words? How bizarre, yet expected. You probably have no words into that matter, because you know I'm not incorrect." She grips me a bit tighter, and its getting hard to breathe. She is the same height as me, yet I can sense she's way stronger than I am, and with no response, she's getting impatient. The tension around the room grows but no one says a word. "Tell me, red dragon? What can you say for me to not just simply snap your throat and end this rage I have for your inconsequential forgiveness?"
"..." I sigh with a bit of difficulty. If I think she's right? Not really, but its hard to argue with her. Annie betrayed us, turn her back on our peerage and did her own shit and got caught. Regardless of what she thinks now, what she is now or was, I don't care, I'm just glad to have my dhumpyr back. I pick her by the wrist and give it a light squeeze. "Y'know what, Kan'u? You're right... Kinda. I have no excuse or way to convince you to not kill me for forgiving nor pardoning Annie. Really, even I didn't want her to do what she did, but she did it anyway. She is stubborn, and selfish and pretty mercurial, so yeah, she's a liability."
"Hou~? What gives? Giving me more reason as to simply snap her like twig? You flatter me, red dragon." She says. "I guess you're selfish too, correct? Forgiving and pardoning that traitorous dhumpyr is just your bias speaking louder than reason."
"Yeah. That's absolutely correct." I said back, and she blinks a few times in surprise. I didn't even turn up my voice nor shouted, in fact I sounded even a bit bored. Maybe that's the reason why she looks so surprised. "... She betrayed us but I'm willing to forgive her out of bias... Because I really want her to be back and to be my friend."
"..."
"I didn't have any friends for the longest time, so even if a person is a complete bastard or stabs me in the back, if they want to be my friend, I would accept it in a heartbeat." I continued with a bit more conviction, coughing a little to get rid of the tiredness on my throat. "I know this is a flaw in my personality, and it will definitely become a problem someday... But I'm done with people walking away on me. Call me whatever the hell you want, but I don't ever want to lose anyone anymore. This includes even a bitch like you..."
"..."
"..."
"I see. You let your heart guide your better judgement. What to call such a person but a fool? Indeed, a liability." She looses her grip around my throat, finally letting me breathe normally. I don't care of what she thinks of me, really. A liability? Perhaps, but its not like it'll bite me in the ass so soon. Shit, maybe I'm getting too emotional for my own good. Before I could say anything though, her choking hand comes higher and instead touches my lips with the folds of her fingers. Huh? "If there's any saving grace from that faulty personality of yours... Is that I won't ever betray you nor the peerage."
"...?" I was taken back a little, and everybody around hums in surprise. Wait, what? Is that a confession? I turn my attention fully to her, and I notice a small blush on her cheeks as she turns her head away.
"Red dragon, this is my promise: as long as I live, I won't ever betray you nor your peerage or our group. As the descendant of the great divine General Guan, my loyalty is yours, Liu Bei's and Lady Gremory's." she declares with confidence, but still looking away. Suddenly, she wipes her head back to my and frowns. "I might dislike you entirely: your fighting style, your ideals, your way of life and your stupid face, but do not be afraid of me abandoning you, nor think of me as the same liability you and the other knight are, for they are rootless and unthinkable. My heart, my blade and my body belong to you, so have no doubts about me..."
"..."
"..."
There is a pause.
...
*BLUSH!*
"A-As in... To you and your group, our peerage. As a group, we should look for each other, even if one of us becomes only a hindrance." She removes then her fingers from my mouth and instead makes a waving motion to make me let go of her. She turns around, flicks her hair and crosses her arms, letting out an indignant sigh while giving me a side glance. I just scratch my neck in discomfort, feeling my ears burning a little. "As an individual, you're less than a worm for me, but as a peer, you're essential even if unreliable. Unlike regarding you, you can trust me. This is my pride, after all."
"Huh... Okay, then." I mutter back as she turns around completely now, making me face her back and butt. I can trust her, right? At least something coming from the bitch general. She's moody, a pain in the ass, a knucklehead and an emotional bomb ready to explode, but she's right about this: she is reliable and trustworthy, unlike me. But still, I like to think I have my own positive traits. Of course, being mature is not one of them. I lift a finger and reached for her. "Hey, Kan'u..."
"...?"
*SLIP~!*
"K-Kyaaah~...!"
... Wait? 'Kyah'?
" 'Kyah'...?"
"Oh. Kyah. Cute."
"Guan Yu-san did say 'Kyah'. So cute."
"Guan Yu...?"
"...?!" And out of mischief, I reached a finger for her and traced a straight line on her bare back, from the base of her spine all the way to the middle of her shoulder blades. I wanted to prank her a little, but she let out a cute 'Kyah' as a result. Whoa, so besides being bitchy and horny, she can be cute too? She snaps back from her trance, and looks at me with furious eyes. Not embarrassed-angry, she looks downright murderous! "YOU...!"
"S-S-Sorry. I just wanted to mess with you. I didn't mean..."
*VUPT...!*
"Eh...?"
"PEI...!"
*BAAAAAAAAAM...!*
...
"Okay, I deserved that." I murmur to myself, my back on the ground and staring at the ceiling as the bitch general walks right on top of me to the exit after getting herself clothed. She just did a Seoi-nage on me, and the shock of the impact and the scare made me numb. Now I'm on a small crater on the changing room, unable to move while the rest of my peerage circles me with worried expressions. I put myself now sit on the floor. "Owowowow... As expected from the descendant of the great General Unchou, she does know now to give a great Seoi-nage."
"Oh, so that's how it's called..." Whiswain said in amazement. Not that I practiced Judo or anything to know this stuff, but my sisters did, and they made sure I would know how to feel it. Kan'u's stance was a bit too rough though, she must've been too angry to do it properly. Tasha pat my back and helped me get up.
"Nice flirt, though. You, good taste." The witch gives me a thumbs up, and again my ears burn a little. It wasn't flirting, I just wanted to mess with her a little, I didn't expect her reaction to be this... Cute. I hide my face with my hand to cover my blushing face, but then Tasha pokes my cheek, and her tone becomes a bit serious. "But, do tell, Tsukino-chin... Were you serious about what you said? About not wanting to lose anyone, anymore?"
"...?" I turn to her, surprised with the sudden shift of atmosphere around, but then I sighed. This is getting a bit annoying, but in the end, I guess this is what I am. I'm not a guy of deep, inspiration or long speeches, but I do try. "I was."
"Hoooh~...?" She hums, again resting her purple head on my shoulder as everyone blinks a few times. I hide my face again with the back of my hand in order to occult my painful expression. I always disliked how I grimace when I get all emotional. It's nasty and I tend to express so much it starts to hurt.
"I'm... Sorry if I don't look much. That's another annoying flaw in my personality." I say. This another faulty trait of mine, maybe that's why everyone keeps screaming at and leaving me. It's embarrassing, its stupid, sometimes I wish I could as free and easygoing as these girls. "Sometimes I wish it was easier for me to say those embarrassing things... Sorry that I'm so stupid... Maybe that's why people keep walking away on me."
"You don't have to apologize." Tasha sighs, hugging me from behind. I turn my glance to a side and I see her resting her head on my shoulder lazily. She looks... Content. "Nor say anything. You're really a dummy sometimes, right?"
"S-Shut up." I murmur. I don't mean it as an insult, I just want her to stop talking so I don't have to think too much about it. She pecks my cheek once and let to of me, picking her own pajamas and walking away.
"Tsukino-chin... Don't underestimate the gaze of others." She says with a smile, doing a pose and soon leaving the changing room. What the hell? Now, she's up with riddles? That's a witch for you, but with me being an idiot, I won't ever get it anyway. "Some see better, other see deeper. And my eyes... Are wide open."
"..."
"Or should I say... My c*nt is very open? Oh no, that's a bit too crude even for me."
*BAM!*
"Just go away!" And I blushed for her nasty pun! Holy shit, we even needed to censor that word! I throw a wet towel to her direction and She just bits her last goodbyes and skiddaddles away with a mischievous expression. Seriously! She wanted to lift the mood, but this is just not the way to do it! But then again... I guess being nasty is a way to do it, and she has those galore. I wipe the nervous sweat off my forehead and start to dress myself again. "Seriously... That Tasha... That one was too nasty..."
"But she's trying to cheer you up, Hong Long. I guess this is one of Tasha-dono's main positive traits, although she expresses in her own distorted way. You should also take her words as an advice." Ryuubi-sensei commented, her hand on one of my shoulder and giving me a light shake. Cheer me up? I'm feeling pretty fine, thank you very much. Take her own words as advice? Maybe... Maybe. She can see furtherer and broader than I do, despite being just one or two years older than I am, so I can learn a thing or two from her. The pink general lifts a hand apologetically and winks. "On the other hand, please forgive Guan Yu's misbehavior. On her behalf and as her superior, I'm deeply ashamed by her own faults, so please do not resent her words too much."
"No... Of course not." I sigh, looking away. I don't want to get used to Kan'u's verbal abuse nor her nasty personality, but when Ryuubi-sensei asks me with such a cute and pitiful face, I can't simply say 'no'. "Still a bitch, though. If she's nasty without any reason, I will get mad, so I apologize for that as well."
"You have all the rights and blessings of mine to punish her, Hong Long, I will understand." Ryuubi-sensei comments, letting go of me and also dressing herself up with her pink pajamas. One, two seconds pass, and she gives me a glare and a smile. "But do know that she also has witnessed the pain of loss... As so did I. You don't have to withstand this burden alone, after all."
"Sensei...?" I tilt my head to a side, blinking a few times in confusion. Wait, what? Did she say something about the pain of loss? I try to get her attention once more, but she just smiles and makes a silencing gesture.
"Oh, it's nothing. Think nothing of it, Hong Long. It's on the past now, no need to worry." She says these as she exits the room, yet the lingering words just don't go away. So, she also must've lost someone she cares about, same goes for Ryuubi-sensei, yet none of them show any sign of that bothering them. Is this the deeper sight Tasha was talking about? Maybe she can see their pain as well. But still... A bitch's a bitch, no excuse neither for her or me.
"W-Well, if you excuse me..." And with nothing to say herself, Whiswain slugs her way to her basket to pick her own clothes and dry her hair in order to leave the room. I can see from here clearly now: her body is part human and part skeleton. One of her leg and one of her hands are bones and half of her face is a skull. Talk about a half-assed hybrid, must've been hard for her as well. Yet, she deals with it better than I would.
"Hey, Whiswain..."
"Y-Yes...!" And she almost jumps when I call for her, turning her body to me and hiding her face behind a towel while fully dressed. I blink once, twice, at loss of words, but then I take a deep breath and say it.
"I really mean it: I'm sorry if I don't look or say how much I appreciate you all. I really do, so please don't think I don't. I... I'll try to change that." I said with another scratch on my neck. On second tries, it does get easier the more I say it, is that the way I am supposed to do it? She blushed even more, nodding to me.
"I... I really appreciate your help, Ichijou-san. Even if you don't talk too much." She murmurs. I was taken back a little, so she does know, she can see through me. Why the hell are those girls so perceptive?! Is that another supernatural thing I'm not aware of? So lame. "I... I have problems in talking to others, and I am not very reliable either. I also have problems regarding my grim reaper part, and people scare me too much, either dead or alive. So when people like Ichijou-san or president are nice to me... It makes me happy. If Ichijou-san can be good to me... Then there's no way for him to be a bad person, and if he trusts someone, that someone can only be nice too."
"I see." I nod. So this is how it works: trust. I know how it feels to be alone, so if someone wants to become my friend, I trust them with all of my being, even if they're total bastards or have betrayed me once. Besides my bias, I am also somehow desperate. Tch, that's so lame. There is really something wrong me with. I turn back to Whiswain and sign to her. "Thanks, Whiswain. And I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Ichijou-san. It's hard... To be hapless."
"..."
"..."
...
*VOOSH~!*
"I'm sorry if I offended you! I didn't mean to~!" And she dashes away, her entire face as red as a beet and getting dressed on her own darkness as she exits this place, leaving me completely alone.
Incredible, in a weird way, all of them are, in both spirit and body. The fierce and loyal general, the strong-willed and gentle warlady, the easygoing but perceptive witch and the mercurial and evolving grim reaper. I guess Ryuubi-sensei is right, I should learn a thing or two from them like I learn from Senpai and Aria-nee. I also have the millennia-worthy of battle experience from the dragon in my sacred gear and the knowledge of senpai's dear daughter, both of them I admire as much as I admire my senpai, although I think this is not the best time for me to come in and chat considering what happened back at that shitty church...
[...]
I... Don't know how to deal with loss, I don't know how to lift a burden from someone else, and to console someone who already lost so much will only be a hassle, so my only response is a quiet prayer and the silent treatment so it won't get any worse. I'm sorry and stay strong, Ophelia-san...
"Atchoo~! Great, that's all I needed now." I grumble with an itchy nose. Catching a cold, after all that happened the other night? That would be even lamer, so I dry my hair once more, put up my night clothes of black shirt and red shorts and put on my shoes back to my room.
It's getting hot lately, which reminds me that summer is just around the corner, and with it, summer vacation. I wonder if it'll be as eventful as golden week or yours truly will have time to relax at the beach, looking at cute girls in bikinis. Sometimes I have to remind myself I'm still a high-schooler and way ignorant of the ways of this world, specially one infested with supernatural beings...
[Sulking in your own mediocrity... Now, that's lame.]
[DO NOT RUSH HIM, SIRE YAGURA. EVENTUALLY EITHER HE WILL WISE UP LIKE SOME OF HIS PREDECESSORS... OR FACE A HORRIBLE DEMISE, ALSO LIKE SOME OF HIS PREDECESSORS.]
Will all do respect, would you guys please leave me alone? I talk big, but even I want some quality time to touch breasts and think about cute girls. That is one of the perks I've learnt after all these trials: nobody bats an eye when I need to distract myself with tits and ass, and at least they're pretty and bountiful to look at to prevent me from going insane...
Either that, or I'm already batshit crazy. The fact I don't care for either alternative is already very concerning...
"Oh..."
"Huh...?" One step outside the changing room of the Gremory hot springs and I bump with the head maid of the Place, Lucrezia Onoskelis, the tall, azure-haired, orange-haired beauty wearing her typical maid outfit. She looks surprised seeing me, but then smiles. She's another person... I can say I admire a little. I blink a few times and lift a hand in a greeting. "Yo, Lucrezia-san. Going for a dip at the springs, I was just going to bed, anyway."
"Oh no, Ichijou-dono. I'm not here to enjoy the waters since I already did so and I'm just doing my duties as for now." She explains with a giggle. Doing her job at this hour? That's Gremory's efficiency for you, or maybe that's just Lucrezia-san, it does make sense. But then, what is she doing here? "To be quite honest, I'm here to talk specifically with you, Ichijou-dono."
"...?" I tilt my head to a side. She wants to talk with me? At this hour? About what? I hide my face again when I start to blush while my thoughts go south, taking a few steps back away from her. She wants to talk... Again, with me. She might be a cute hot busty maid, but she's also dangerous, and behind that smile I can't read her at all. I don't know if I should be scared or glad for that. "Talk with me...? Lucrezia-san..."
"You don't need to be all defensive on me, Ichijou-dono. To you now, I'm just a maid; and to me now, you're just my master who has a message to." She declares with a innocent wave. I don't know why, but her words made me a bit upset. Before I could dwell further into those thoughts, she handed me a small key with a cute miniature scale mail helmet keychain. Wait, what? "I'm just here to deliver this. I hope you enjoy this little present. I know you will..."
"Uh... Thanks...?" I murmur, picking the key for myself and taking a small scan on it. It's a crimson key not unlike any other, and the keychain shaped like the head of my scale mail armor is kinda cute, it even has a button to press so it eyes glow and it scream 'BOOST'. Still, what? Without saying anything else, Lucrezia-san simply bows and starts to walk away, but I turn to her. "H-Hey, Lucrezia-san! Wait a minute? What the hell is this?"
"That's the key to Berolina-sama's bedroom. Or at least a copy of it, just for you." Ah, okay. A key to Rina's room, makes sense considering this keychain. And a copy just for me? Neat.
Wait, what?
"Hm... What?" I him to her in total confusion. Her only response was a giggle.
"Berolina-sama asked me to give you this key and say that she prepared a special tea party just for the two of you." She responds my dumb interjection. She probably just read the expression on my face, but even so, what? A special tea party? With Rina? What? I was so distracted, I didn't even notice Lucrezia-san coming closer to lightly peck me on the cheek and then pat my head. "You're such a special person, Ichijou-dono. You should feel blessed. Huhuhuh..."
"...?" Blessed? Can't deny that it is making me a little excited, but even so, that's a bit of a stretch. With all said and done, Lucrezia-san politely bowed and started to walk away. "Hm... Lucrezia-san? If you don't mind me asking, do you have any... Do you have any plans now? I'm... A little nervous regarding this tea party."
"Ohoh, don't worry, Ichijou-dono. It's just a tea party, after all, right? You don't need the assistance of a simple maid, right?" She asks, smiling and winking at me while turn away, embarrassed. Maybe what she's implying is right, I'm thinking too much with my gutter about this whole situation. Is this the romantic mind of a high-school boy? That's so lame. "But to answer your question, yes. I do have some work to do for a while, so unfortunately I can't assist you right now. Pardon my uselessness in such a seemingly dire situation."
"No, that's quite alright. I get it now." I wave my hand negatively on her. I know she's dangerous, but I don't want her to think she's useless or something. Her chuckle after that, however, proved that she was just jesting. "H-Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what's your work now?"
"Why, what else but the most beautiful flower arrangements?" She smiles.
"Oh... Right." I nodded dumbly at her response, and with one final bow, she leaves the corridors, while I turn around to walk... Somewhere. I don't know where to, but I hope somewhere.
Right, I keep forgetting. She already has someone on her mind...
...
...
*BACK!*
Oh, it's locked.
...
*KNOCK-KNOCK!* *KNOCK-KNOCK!*
"Hey, Rina? It's me, Ichijou."
...
"...?"
...
*CLICK!*
*NYEEEK~!*
"If you came, that means Lucrezia gave you the key, right? Why the hell are you knocking?"
"Well, you're right, I have the key." I said, pulling the key up on my hand so that the little purple eyes behind the small gap at the door could see it. Her gaze turned to a frown yet again. "But I didn't want to come in an inconvenient hour or in an embarrassing moment, so I knocked. I don't want to catch you doing something weird."
*BAM!*
"You just lost an opportunity for an ecchi hinjink to occur and for it to snowball out of control!" She then practically shoves the door away completely to point at me and make an angry face, screaming for dear life! Wait, she's angry at me for being considerate?! What the hell! "You should've walked inside on me changing or doing something embarrassing! And you call yourself a harem King! For shame, Ichijou! For shame~!"
"Wait, it's my fault?! What the hell, Rina!" I screamed back, butting heads with the angry redhead and practically growling at each other. There it is, that side of Rina that just doesn't want to go and waste away!
In the end, however, she calmed down a lot faster than me, and instead blushed and turned around to face her own room. I can see from here that She's wearing a red ribbed sweater and blue short shorts, being barefooted too. What a killer combo...
"A-Anyway, you're already here. Come on in or whatever..." She says with a nonchalant wave of her trembling hand without even batting an eye at me. Even with a few more doubts, I let myself into that place while discarding my sandals at the entrance so I could feel the furry fluffy carpet. When I was about to take another step, Rina lifted a finger. "Oh, hm... C-Close the door too, please. And... Lock it, too. You are right, I should be more careful..."
"Okay." I mused, closing the door and locking it with the key in it, also a red key but with a keychain of a cute little redhead on a dress. I think this is suppose to be lady Rias or her switch princess persona. With that done, I turned around into my first time at a girl's room.
Sometimes I forget Rina is a spoiled rich princess, and those reality checks come with a bang: this is not the room of a highschool girl, this is a warehouse where they hold conventions in. You can play tennis in here and have even a small crowd with some row seats! Of course, the whole place was covered with some oppai dragon merchandise like plushies and stuffed animals, a shelf covering a whole wall filled with manga, books and oppai dragon DVDs and BDs, a balcony with a clear view to the springs at Mt. Issei, a massive closet filled with clothes and a massive bed That could work as a boat. I hate the fact that this is the exactly how I imagined Rina's room to be...
"Ichijou. Here, over here~." And snapping me from my little trance, I look to a direction where Rina was talking only to see a comically small japanese tea table with two pillows on opposite sides, Rina sitting on one of them and pouring some tea on her porcelain cup. There was also some cake and a plate of macaroons. "Sit down, enjoy some tea Lucrezia brewed, you can eat the cake and the macaroons too."
"Okay." I said, doing just that, sitting on seiza on the small pillow and taking a cup with steaming tea. I take a sip out of it. Huh, black tea. Then I cut a piece of the cake with the fork and take a bite out of it. Coffee-choco. Well, ain't those adult tastes? "Black tea, huh...?"
"Yeah. I don't... I don't like Darjeeling that much, so I asked Lucrezia to make something stronger. The cakes are also of coffee, I hope that's okay." She says while pouring herself some tea and taking a drip after dipping two sugar cubes in it and mixing it with a spoon. Looking at her now, doing these small little things, I noticed she was only doing them with her left hand while the bandaged right one was limp the entire time. Oh yeah, her flesh prosthetic. She takes a small sip from her tea, her hand trembling a little. "Hah~, refreshing~! Leave it to Lucrezia to make tea this delicious!"
"Y-Yeah, she's a pretty nice maid." I say, taking also a sip. Unlike her, I like the strong taste of black tea unadulterated like Minatsu and Satsuki, whom I learnt to taste tea in the first place (man, I am really using those big words. Thanks, poetry classes). I let out a puff of steam out of my mouth and turned my attention to Rina, who was eating the cake with just one hand with a fork. "So, Rina... Hm... How's your arm...?"
"Hm... It's fine, I guess." She responds with her cheeks stuffed with cake, guiding me to look at her limping right member. She made some noises, and the arm twitched a little, but then it fell flat again. "It'll take a while for it to move or feel again, but that's okay by me, at least I still can have an arm or something. I'm not left-handed though."
"I see. Good to know." I comment back, seeing her struggling to lift the tea jar and pour some on her cup. Once that was done, though, she resumed in eating and drinking tea like the princess she is. I am also enjoying this little party we're having, the tea is good and cake is bittersweet. After dealing with a pretty long night and having to endure hospital food, peace like this is a blessing.
"How about you? All of your wounds were closed and cured, right? Doctor Beelzebub is the best, after all." She asks with another bite of cake, and I nod. I'm still a little sore considering all the trauma I had to endure and I got a new scar that apparently won't go away on my shoulder where that bitch Angel Gertrude stabbed me, but that aside, I'm surprisingly fine right now. She smiles once again. "I'm glad. But then again, you are my Queen, so I don't expect anything less from you~. My dear Ichijou..."
"..." Sugary words and mellow tone, they shouldn't work on me, but they did, and I turned my face away in embarrassment while she giggles. For a while, I thought it was just another thing she was emulating about Rias Gremory, but after a while, I noticed that it was in fact quite genuine, and for that, I don't know which is worse. Wonder why I'm growing this desperate of all times. "Don't mess with me like that, Rina..."
"Hohohoh, sorry, sorry." She apologizes with a wink and a small bow. Is this the day everyone is off to mock me? It does feel like it! But I can't stay mad at her now, not in that state. Looking at her limping arm and her struggling to even lift a cup of tea, its a bit frustrating. "But I'm mean it: I'm glad that you're okay, Ichijou. You and everyone. It was... A very long night."
"Yeah, it was. Glad to see you fine too." I respond back, now sitting with my butt on the pillow since my legs were starting to get sleepy. She lost another arm and I have a few more scars, but we survived a small-scale war, we got our dhumpyr back and, more importantly, we're alive, all of us are. That's all that matters. I take another sip of the black tea. "We even got our dumb vampire back, so I can't complain about. It was a hell of a night, but everything's fine..."
"Yes. Everything... Everything is fine." I heard her sigh. Turning my attention to her, I see her rapidly drying her eyes while looking elsewhere, biting her lower lips. I see, playing it cool but getting chewed up inside, that's Rina for you. I guess she's getting too caught up in her own duties as a King. Another sip of tea to calm the nerves. She lets out a moan of tiredness. "Aaaah, maaaaan~. Summer vacation is finally here, too~. I can finally relax and let the boring accumulated homework go to hell~!"
"Yeah, thank goodness." I sigh as well. I knew my life as a high school student would not be easy, but to think I would be roped in such web of events is already making my head spin, and for the first time in a long time, I yearn for a vacation more than anything. "Of course, we will still have homework and stuff, but I can't wait for it to stand so I can finally rest from that nightmarish spring. Watermelons, unending Sun and heat, summer festivals and the likes..."
"Also, my birthday." Rina chirped. I whipped my head to her and let out a curious hum. Wait, Rina's birthday? That's new. I turns her head to me and smiles. "What, didn't you know? My birthday is August 7th, at least in the human calendar."
"I-I see. Good to know." I said, a bit embarrassed for not knowing it. August 7th, so her birthday is during Tanabata, but also... It means she's older than me? What a twist of events. And here I thought I had all the reasons to be the mature one, but now I know age means shit regarding wisdom and maturity. I turn my attention back to her. "So, are you planning in throwing a big party or something? I'm up for that, if you don't mind."
"I don't know, I think I would like a small party for a change. You said its during Tanabata at least around Kuoh, right? We can celebrate that by going on a festival! And Yoko, mama Kyou and your sisters can come too!" Like they need your permission to go on a festival. That aside, it does sound like a neat idea, celebrating her birthday with everyone, and enjoying the festivities of Orihime and Hikoboshi together. As long as I don't have to wear a kimono again while at it, I'm good with this idea. I notice she has been staring at me for a while now, and I turn to her. She points at me. "By the way, how about you? When is your birthday, Ichijou? Let's celebrate it! Like, let's throw a big party!"
"Mine? It's... February 7th." I responded. Suddenly, all the glee and excitement In her voice and posture vanished and she let out a small and succinct 'oh'. I remember when we celebrated my birthday this year, and the last time I ever seen dad up to this point. There was cake and I got a new computer.
"Oh, so its already gone. That sucks." She pouts a little, but then opens a sly smile. "Wait... That means I'm older than you. Hahah! I'm older than you! Talk about unexpected!"
"Shut up, Rina." I murmured in misery while she still laughs a little. No joke, this is lame. I'm used to dealing with girls older than me, but now I know Gremory is one of them! This sucks! When she calms down and the laughs cease, however, she turns back to me with a smile, a grin. I have no idea the intentions behind the upward arc on her lips.
"Okay, so how about this? Next year, let's throw a super party for you to compensate!" She beams pure energy and excitement, and i blink in surprise. she wants to celebrate my birthday next year? "I'll tell Lucrezia to remember the date and then we all can sing and have fun in your house! I'll make sure that everyone brings a present too!"
"..."
"...?"
"..."
"What's wrong, Ichijou? Oh, I know! You're so amazed or bewildered by my amazing planning skills, you're at the loss of words! Just kidding, but you can at least say someth-..."
"Rina, do you really think we will still be together one year from now on?"
"..."
"..."
...
"W-What are you saying, Ichijou? Of course we're going to be together one year from now on! Hell, we will be together even longer than that! What kind of question is that?" She says with an awry smile and hands in the air. I bite my lips a little, hiding my mouth with the back of my hand so she wouldn't notice me bleeding a little. I diverge my sight elsewhere. She's right, what kind of question is that?
"Y-Yeah, sorry. That was a stupid question." I heavily respond, still looking away, embarrassed. Crap, I let my better thoughts slip off in such a crucial moment, of course she would want us to be together forever. But still...
Do I still remember Nina-chan and Julia-chan's birthday? Yes, I do: it's October 27th. I remember we were suppose to celebrate it and my family would be baking the cake, but then... I also promised for us to always be together, and now...
"Ichijou... You don't want us to be together?" I hear Rina ask. Of course I want that, I really do. Spending time with Rina, Yoko, Annie, Tasha, Ryuubi-sensei, Whiswain and Kan'u, plus kaichou, Rei-chan, Nemesis-san, Aria-nee and the others, but if I say that... It would mean I didn't learn anything from last time nor my father's mistakes: there is no such thing as 'forever'. I don't even like to think it will last until the day after...
"It's not like that, Rina. It's just... I don't feel comfortable saying things like that. To be together from one year on, to be together for a while, forever, its just so... Tiring." I sigh, still with eyes averted from her. I can't even look at her right now, my heart heavy and filled with thoughts. I... Do want her to know I'll always try to be by her side and the others, and I do want us to be together until I die, but I can't. I can't because I cannot even convince myself that, and falsely reassuring her would be a terrible thing from my part or worse; I might start convincing myself of that. "I'm sorry, but... I sometimes think too much about that, and when it happens, I get a bit gloomy. I wish I could assure you, but I can't, so I'm sorry..."
"..." Silence now. I hope I didn't say it too much, but this is the honestest I can express right now. I don't want her to hate me, I don't want her to think I don't care, but if I say anything now, I might convince not only her, but myself, and this will be the start of another calamity.
"I'm sorry for that, Rina. That's my fault..." I sigh. I don't want to stare. I made things awkward again.
"..."
"..."
"Chuif, chuif..."
"Rina...?" I hear some wails coming from her direction and they made me turn to her, only to look at a miserable Rina, her single functional arm hiding her face as she would sniff under her breath. Oh... Oh no. "R-Rina... Are you okay...?"
"Ichijou... You're too cruel... Too cruel... Sniff~..." Still hiding her face away from me, I hear her sniff and moan. Oh crap! I've done it this time! Standing up from my seat, I come closer to her with my hands in the air, unsure of what to do! What can I do?! Is physical contact even an option?! She doesn't even notice my presence. "I try, y'know. Do you have any idea how much I try? For you to like me, for you to say you'll stay with me until the end... I know its hard, but... But you should at least say something! If you keep saying those cruel things... Then I feel like I didn't progress at all..."
"A-Ah~... I'm sorry, Rina. Please, don't cry." I gently touch one of her shoulders so she could feel safe, but her only response was to turn around away from me, still sobbing in misery. What have I done? "Please, Rina... I didn't mean it, I just... I was just a bit altered, y'know? Please, I'm sorry..."
"Chuif, chuif..." And every sniff of her makes my heart grow heavier, and I feel a ting on my eyes. I didn't... I wasn't... I try to reach another hand at her, but she just shakes it away once I touch her skin. Please, don't do this. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. "Ichijou, you're right... Even saying those hurtful things... I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry for you to have such a lousy king, you can't even trust your life with... I'm sorry for being so useless..."
"Rina, please, don't say that! Don't... Don't say those things! I do trust you! You're not wrong, I am! I am the one being selfish!" I shout back, biting my lips so My voice wouldn't break, circling her to face her direction, where she was still covering her face with a hand, Her stance low now. Before she could turn away like last time, I held her by the shoulder and gave her a light shake. "I'm the one who needs to say sorry... I'm the selfish one... I'm the one who thinks only about himself and don't take anyone else in consideration... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. So please... Don't ever say you're lousy or useless. You're neither, I am. I'm the one... Who is in the wrong..."
"R-Really...? Do you... Really mean it?" Her voice was a bit shaky and altered, but her tone brighten a little. Yes, she's not useless nor lousy! I trust her deeply, I trust her peerage and her family! I shouldn't have said those horrible things regardless or not this shitty personality of mine compels me to! "T-Then... Do you promise? Do you promise that we'll be together from now on?"
"Y-Yes, of course. One year, two years, even millennia! If you're okay with someone as useless, weak, pathetic and selfish as me, then I promise I'll always be by your side!" I say, touching my forehead on her covered face and feeling the drips from my eyes. There, I said it! All of my hubris, all of my regret, all of my sorrow, I don't care about them anymore! Of she accepts someone like me, who am I to say anything else! "Don't cry... Don't cry... I do care, I do want to spend the rest of my life by your side, I do want... To be together with you. I know I'm a good-for-nothing selfish loser, so if you're okay with me... If you're okay with the worst Sekiryuutei ever... Then I'm glad... To have you as my king, so please... Don't cry... Don't say you're useless... Don't hate either of us..."
"..."
"..."
"..." Now, silence. The judgement is upon me, I poured everything I wanted to say in this small speech, but thanks to my sins, I don't know if I ever will be forgiven. I know I wouldn't. I wish words could kill, or at least regret could, because if she doesn't forgive me, I would be dead in the next instant, and I would be fine with it. I really would. Seconds feel like hours, and then, she speaks. "Ichijou..."
"Rina..." I lift my head and sniff my nose myself, looking up her still covered face while drying my own tears. What is she thinking? What will she do? The suspense is little by little eating my heart. "Rina... Rina, I'm so sorr-..."
"Bleh~! Juz keeween~!" And in another instant, she uncovers her hand mask and flashes instead a wink and a tongue sticking out! From total regret, my whole body contorts in shock and a blank expression takes control over my face. Wait, what?
"Huh...?" It wasn't even a word, air just exhaled out of my body through my lungs and mouth as I try to comprehend what just happened. From here, I see that there was no tears on her face, and her smile was bright and genuine, but... How?! Why?! What the hell?!
"Teeheheh. I was joking~! I wasn't crying or anything! It was just a little play I tried on you~!" She puffs a smoke of pride out of her system while inflating her chest a little! An act?! What the fuck?! "You think I don't know how your brain works, but that's where you're wrong, Ichijou! If I want you to say what's in your mind, at the bottom of your heart, I just need you to be on the edge~! And what's the better way to put you on edge than the thought you'd screwed up majorly? I gotta say, though, it's a bit embarrassing hearing it firsthand, specially from you. I wonder if this is the so-called gap moe?"
"..." Again, what?!
"Huhuhuh... But it was actually a nice exercise. You really are sweet, y'know that, Ichijou?" She laughs. I don't want to, but the way she smiles and laughs makes me think she's just mocking me. "Like: 'we'll always be together, so please don't cry'... Hahahah! I guess those poetry classes are really paying off, huh? I would've fallen for you right there in the case!"
"..."
"Heheheh... Ichijou...?"
"Gh... Gh... GH...!" And the only thing that escapes mouth is a murderous, animalistic groan coming from the back of my throat! All the shock and surprise was gone, leaving the only reaction one would expect from me: rage. Distillate, unadulterated rage! My eyes frown, I shine my teeth to her, and I can only see a big red aim at her head. "Rina... RINA...!"
"Oh, poop..." She exclaims, slowly but clearly crawling herself away from me, standing up so she could move better. Me? I am fine, I'm also standing up and following her every move. Sweat now glitters her trembling face, and eyes looking for any exit for that situation darts everywhere. Oh no, you don't... "Huh... I-Ichijou... You're doing it again, you're doing a scary face... I'm... I'm sorr-AAAAAAAAAH~...!"
"YOU COME BACK HERE, BEROLINA GREMORY...!" And she stood up and flee away from me, with me following suit in a murderous rage! I'll show her a reason to be sorry! Like a cat and a mouse, I relentlessly pursued her through the room, as she would cry and beg for forgiveness, all dying on deaf ears on me! "IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRETS NOW, BEROLINA! COME HERE SO I CAN MAKE YOUR ENTIRE BODY LIKE THAT PERIOD HAIR OF YOURS!"
"Geez! I'm sorry, okay?! You're no fun~!" She cries and whines while still running for her life in circles! Like I said, its too late for regrets! Whatever she like it or not, judgment is upon her, that dumb king of mine! "I'm sorry, okay?! I'm sorry I played with your heart like that, so stop doing that face! It's really scary!"
"RINA...!"
"AAAAAAAAH...! GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU F-...!"
*TRIP!*
"Ah..."
"Woah...!"
*BAK!*
*BAM!*
"Ah-ah! I Give up~! Happy now? Geez, only you to make a storm in a teacup..." Rina whines as we both had fallen onto the carpet and I have her literally under my grasp. In a small moment, she ended up kicking a loose part of the carpet and tripped herself silly, with me bumping onto her and then both of us rolling onto the ground until I could finally stop on top of her and bite her neck, the same place I bit Ludger. She lifts her hand in a defeated gesture and sighs. Yeah, that's what you get. I sink my teeth a little more into her soft and smooth skin, and she moans in pain. "Owowowow~... C'mon Ichijou, I already said sorry. Don't be such a meanie..."
"You're the mean one, Rina." I said. Being this close to her, literally taking a bite out of her, I notice that she smells quite nice. One, two seconds pass, and I finally let go off her skin, leaving a nasty bite mark there with a bit of saliva. Gross. Before I could stand up and to away, however, she uses her left arm to place it behind my head and lock her legs around my waist. What now? "Let go off me, you devil. After that, I don't trust you anymore..."
"Such a meanie. Sorry, okay? Take a kiss as a bail for me like a good boy. Chu~." She kisses me on the cheek and hugs me closer. This position is a bit suggestive, but I'm still a bit too angry to care. I just wanna continue to bite her and stuff, but after that kiss, I feel I shouldn't do it. Sigh. I bite her again, gentler this time. This time, she just laughs. "Hahahah, I guess this is your way to show affection, right? Why am I not surprised?"
"Shut up, Rina." I say with another bite.
"But I do know you care, okay?" She softly spoke. I cease my dentition marking on her skin and gave her a side glance. She also looks at me from the corner of her and smiles. "You're not hard to read, so I know even when you say nothing, okay? I know that we'll be together for now and ever more, so you don't need to say a thing. You might not know... But I do. Besides... You're not useless, nor weak, Ichijou. And like you said, if you're okay with this dumb, immature Berolina... What can I feel but blessed?"
"..." I make a face. She knows me more than I know myself, and that makes her... Precious to me. Not scary, not manipulative, but precious. I stand up covering my face with a hand, a habit I caught since what Whiswain said back at the Gremory express, and sit myself on the floor while Rina herself stands up to. She gives me a toothy chuckle, and I whip my eyes away, embarrassed. "That's not fair, Rina. Tossing the ball back at me is dirty tactics."
"Well, I'm a devil. I don't play by the rules. Hohohoh." She chuckles, and even without a reason, I let out a laughing sigh. She dusts her clothes and crawls herself back to the table. "We should finish this tea before it gets cold. We don't want to waste all the macaroons and cake either, right?"
"Yeah." I simply say, also crawling back to my side of the table so I could finish eating my cake and drinking my tea.
This small moment eating cake and drinking tea... I haven't say anything to Rina, neither does she with me, we just continued to enjoy our snacks and enjoying each other's company. She doesn't need any words to understand me... I guess I'm starting to see how now, I guess this is what we are.
We're not perfect, but life, eh, finds a way. To be together... Forever. It's scary, it's despairing to think that, to believe that, but I don't mind it anymore. I just need to keep on living, and enjoy this little forevers between us. Even if they don't last forever, they will last forever, if that makes any sense. That's fine by me. That's all that I need...
"By the way Ichijou, do you want to take my virginity?"
...
"Hah...?"
"Do you want to have sex, Ichijou?"
...
...
"Hah...?"
"Do you wanna fuck?"
...
...
...
...
Hah?
Hah?
Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah? Hah?
Hah...?
"R-R-Rina-san... C-Could you... R-R-Repeat that question? I think... I couldn't grasp what you said." A piece of cake slides off my agape mouth, my tongue wouldn't stop stinging, and everything is starting to he blurry. Did I... Did I hear what I just heard? She said she wants... No, it can't be. "B-B-Because from here... I think I... I heard you you say for us to have s-... To have se-... Have... S-..."
"Yeah, that's what I said." She says nonchalantly, lifting her functional arm, her hand on a fig gesture. "Let's bang."
"..."
"..."
...
"Ichij-...?"
*FLIP!*
"WHAT THE HELL... ARE YOU THINKING, RINA?!" I said with a table flip, my heart being unable to contain all the stress my mind was running in the meantime! What?! WHAT?! From where the fuck that came from?! Macaroons and empty teacups and plates fly everywhere, Rina holding her little head so she wouldn't be hit by it!
"What, what?! What's gone into you, Ichijou?!" She asks in a desperate yet confused voice! What's gone into me?! I'm absolutely fine, thank you very much! She's the one with one brain less in this whole scenario!
"That's my line! What kind of development is that?! I was just having a nice little monologue about our relationship and what I learnt during this whole ordeal, and then you come out of nowhere asking for us to bang?! THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS, RINA!" I scream back, my hair flowing everywhere like I want to turn into a super Saiyan while making a gesture like I was carrying a giant invisible baby! "That's a complete shift of atmosphere! You don't ask people for sex after having a heart-to-heart moment like that! HAVEN'T YOU LEARNT ANYTHING ABOUT STORYTELLING FLOW?!"
"You... You don't want to? You don't want my virginity?" She asks, blinking a few times as sadness spreads across her eyes. Yeah, of course I would want to have sex with her and st-...
"THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE, ICHIJ-... I mean, RINA!" I scream louder and louder, practically making the windows vibrate with the sound of my voice, and Rina continues to be confused as hell! This is getting too much into me, my chest feels heavy~. I cover my face with my hands while a wail of pure misery escapes from it. What the hell is even going on now? "Rina, from where the hell that even came from? Why... Just why...?"
"Well, it just... Happened, y'know?" She mutters in uncertainness. 'It just happened', she says. This does not make me feel any better. My hands slide to my mouth so I could face her while covering my teeth, and she's so sheepishly scratching her ear.
"It 'just happened', you say?" My sentence was practically oozing sarcasm, and her response was a nervous laugh, making me grunt even more. She's not taking this seriously, and if she goes on like that, I will make her take it seriously.
"Y-Yeah, more or less." She responds, a blush decorating her pretty face. "You see, it wasn't any 'we survived a crisis but we might not live through the next so let's have sex while we can' stuff or something like that. I just... Felt like doing something nice for you. You have been so down lately and after all the crap that happened back in the conference, I just want to spoil you and make a those worries melt away. So after a lot of thought on what to do..."
'Okay, Time to roll this dice. If it lands on 1, I'll pat his head; if it lands on 2, I'll lap-pillow him; 3, I'll give him a kiss (peck or french is up to him); 4, I'll let him play with my breasts; 5, I'll suck his ****, and if it lands on; 6, he'll have all the rights to fuck my brains out. Okay, go!'
*TAC!*
*ROLL~ ROLL~ ROLL~!*
*DON!*
...
'I wasn't planning on walking tomorrow, anyway.'
"... I decided to reward you with a nice tea, good cake, some sweet talk and maybe watch an episode or two of Maou Shoujo Leviathan or Oppai dragon, y'know, have some fun... And then you would obliterate my hymen and turn my uterus into a soft cream dispenser."
"..."
"Heheh..."
"..."
...
Like I said, I wish words could kill, because after that one, I wish I've been atomized by now...
"Rina, do you have any idea what you just said?" I said back, hands still covering my mouth and steam practically oozing from my ears. She's asking me to take her virginity, break her innocence... Have sex with her and stuff. Berolina Gremory, the heiress of the Gremory clan of devils, the gorgeous, big-breasted, curvy, healthy young devil heiress is inviting me for sex. I seriously have no idea how to react, but the excitement and nature are really poking the back of my head. She tilts her head in confusion while I now look away.
"You don't wanna have sex with me?" She asks back. Sex with Berolina... Anyone around my age and even some creeps would jump at this call and jam in it so hard she would probably be traumatized, and I'm no different, but the voice from back of my head is making me hesitant. My mouth starts to make some weird noises now. "Ichijou...?"
"..."
"..."
"Hmmmmh~..."
"...?"
"HhmmmMMMMmmmMmmhHhHHh~...!"
"Ichijou, I'm not a whale. I don't know if this is a mating call or a threat." Shut up! Shut up, I'm trying to think here! Every second here feels like an hour, and I'm divided between jumping out of the window and jump on her! It's a different story if she was already attacking me, but making me say it... It's so fucking embarrassing! I can't even look her in the eyes right! I turn my head elsewhere, now only a hand hiding my dentition. By the other side, Rina stands up and walk towards me. My vision is so red, I can see her entire body in slow motion, her breasts jiggling left and right with each step and her exposed thighs rubbing each other. What a killer body, even more so with the red sweater. She comes closer and stops, smiling. "Say it with your voice: do you want it or not, have sex with this Berolina Gremory? I just have one virginity..."
"Shut up..."
"Hohohoh..."
"..." For Fuck's sake, this little redhead girl... Always making everything so hard, in more ways than one at that, too. I give a sly glance at her, and with her functional arm on her hip, she smiles confidently, although I can see a light blush on her cheeks. "Say... If I were to say 'yes', simple as that, would you be happy with how things would turn out? No regrets or second thoughts?"
"I mean~... Of course I'm a bit scared. Losing my virginity and being pounded hard sounds like something that would kill me... But since its you, I'm fine with it. Honestly, I'm just able to say it because its you, Ichijou." She sticks her tongue out mischievously, and I blink once, twice for that response. She is able to so-nonchalantly ask for me to screw her... Because she trusts me. She trusts me enough to give her virginity to me, and despite her stance, she is scared as I am. I am... I am... "Ah, ah~! Humans are so sentimental and complicated, any devil would've already pushed me down to do the unspeakable with my body~. Here, a handicap: gimme a kiss~."
"..."
"C'mon, don't be shy~. This is basic stuff~! Smooch, smooch~..."
*TUG!*
"...?!" And her entire body tenses up and her eyes are shot open when I grabbed her by the shoulders and came closer. Her lips which were compressed in a kiss suddenly formed a nervous smile, and she looked concerned and a bit scared. For that, I say nothing. "I-Ichijou...?"
"Rina..." I said with a sigh. I don't want her to be scared, I don't want to alarm her, but I also want her to know that there is no turning back now. Either that or something or someone will conveniently burst into this room and stop us from going any further because this is how those things work here. Whatever, I look her deep in the eyes, she blinks twice, and I let out a hoarse grunt before softening up and saying: "No regrets now, right? Okay then, pucker it up..."
"A-Ah..." Her confidence seemed to vanish, her entire face was red and her eyes were practically spiraling in confusion. Glass cannon much? Makes sense, we're both virgins, anyway. However, she blinks once, twice, and puts up a daring face, closing her eyes and smiling defiantly. "I-I mean... Kyah~, so forceful~. Ichijou really becomes a beast when I push the right buttons~."
"You..." I grunt, giving her a light shake. She moans lightly again, still laughing. Okay, so about that: I shake her yet again so she would be facing me, and started to get closer. "Rina..."
"A-Ah...?" She interjects, and looking down at my approaching lips, her face shines bright red again, shaking her head lightly in desperation, even trying to escape only to fall flat on my grasp. "A-A-Ah...! Wait, Ichijou~...! Stop, stop...! My heart is not ready yet...! D-Don't...!"
"..." I said nothing, only came closer and closer, seeing her desperation grow and her entire body trembling like she was trying to imitate a jackhammer. In the end, however, her struggles cease, and she just closes her mouth and pecks her lips forward.
"O-Okay, I get it... No regrets, really..." She simply says, eyes closed and lips up, trembling a little but not faulting in the slightest. "Come, my queen... Make me yours, but please... Be gentle..."
"Rina..."
"Ichijou..."
...
"Bleh. Just kidding."
"Eh...?" And then just a literally millimeter off her lips, I stop dead on tracks and stick my tongue out in a deadpan. Rina, who was trembling and sweating like crazy, slowly opens her eyes to stare at my face, and then draws a confused look. "Eh...?"
"Payback, if you will." I said. To be honest, I'm the one who needs a moment to catch my breath a little and regain a bit of spirit. Once she snaps, she pouts and frowns at me, probably upset. "Just a moment, please. I just... Need to prepare myself too..."
"Mooh~! That's unfair, Ichijou~!" She whines, shaking her fist up and down and doing a face again. "You meanie! You idiot! Meanie, meanie, meanie~! Mean-...!"
*Chu~!*
"Hmmm~...!"
"Hm..."
Ah, I'm kissing Rina again. I keep forgetting how nice it is to kiss someone some calmly. Her lips are soft and squishy, and from here I can feel her scent, her warmth. It feels nice. She closes her eyes too and let herself melt next to me, her left arm grabbing me by the shirt to pull me closer. I can still feel it, the bitterness of the coffee cake and the mild taste of tea... It's not bad, it's not bad at all...
It took us a few seconds to break apart, gasping for some air while I licked my lips a few times to get rid of the sugary gloss on them and let to off her shoulders. Rina was now as red as before, but her expression was dreamy and narcoleptic, as if she was somehow intoxicated. When she snaps back, she also licks her lips...
"Sour. You taste sour, Ichijou. Like strawberries or something. It's kinda gross." She comments, letting out a small mischievous giggle. You'd think she would compliment my fruit-tasting lips, but I guess not. Come to think of it, Lucrezia-san also tasted like strawberries. Oh shit, don't tell me those are related or something.
"And you taste like apples. Sour apples." I stick my tongue out to show some disgust, and she pouts again. It's not my fault that hospital food taste awful and she has the right to good food. I hide my mouth again with a hand. "It's... It's not bad."
"Huh...? Oh! Oooh~..." She hears my compliment, and smiles to herself. She turns to me and then sticks her tongue out, her whole mouth now open. "Then you can taste it as long~ and hard~ as you want. My lips are yours to enjoy~."
"..." I say nothing, just continue to look away with a deep blush on my face, probably looking irritated. Sweet talking me? I hate to say that it's working. Suddenly, she uses her arm to hug my nape and press her upper body on me, her enormous chest clashing with mine. This one let a small rush downwards! Damn it, Lucrezia-san taught her too well!
"Hohoh~, getting cold feet now? That's so not you, Ichijou~. C'mon, look at me. Over here, over here~!" She starts to chant, getting closer and closer and even blowing her breathing on my ear. My mouth hurts, I'm definitely doing a face again, and feeling her breasts on me is starting to make me weak yet strong in different parts of my body! I give it a side glance and she had her tongue sticking out. "Kiss me again. It's nice and feels good, right? So you should totally do it again! It's not like you're paying me or anything."
"..."
"Heheh..."
"Rina...?"
"Yeah...?"
*PAT!*
"Ah." And I lightly tapped her chest and due to the fact she was on her toes to reach my ear (she's probably around 163cm I guess?) and pure surprise, she fell onto the bed like a sack of potatoes, her purple eyes spiraling around to show how disoriented she was. Before she could regain composure, I crawled onto the bed and on top of her, seeing her from above. Once she landed her eyes on me, her nervous smile returns. "A-Ah...? Ichijou...?"
I said nothing, only frowned as I came closer to her to kiss her lips. Her shock was almost palpable, and it grew tenfold when I started to use my tongue to explore her mouth, she moaning lightly when we touched mucosa. Ah, her tongue is very soft, and the smell and taste of apple is spreading all over my own mouth while I lick her saliva off. I come closer and closer until I was almost crushing her under my body weight and her own functional arm was holding me tight in place...
"Haaah~... Haaah~... Hmm~... W-Wait... Ichi... Jou..." She moans under our breath, twitching in my grasp and kicking her legs in the air while I concentrated on her mouth alone, feeling a bit hot myself while saliva drips everywhere and I taste her mouth in its entirety. Her eyes are almost rolling to the back of her skull, and I feel her lower parts are starting to quiver too. Is she getting excited? I went ahead and then bit her tongue, pulling it lightly. "Hoh~... Hooooh~... Mooh~! Ichijou...!"
*TUG!*
"Ow...!" But then for some reason she goes ahead and reaches for my head to pull my hair a little. It didn't hurt much, but was enough to make me stop and let go of her. I look down and there she was: her mouth open agape, drool running down her lips and eyes a bit teary, moaning and breathing heavily with a 'haah~' sound.
"I-I think I just came a little... Haaah~, haaah~... Time out, time out..." She says between moans, reaching a hand to clean off the glittering saliva off her lips. While I'm still between her legs, I notice her lower parts wouldn't stop trembling and two pointers were poking out her sweater. I turn back to her when I hear a grunt. Rina was frowning a little now, wait what? "You... How many girls did you kiss before? And don't act like this is the first time you French, because its clearly not."
"..." I bite my lips and side glances to a random direction. What kind of embarrassing question is that? True, this is not the first time I French kiss someone, and it's far from being my first kiss overall, but its still hard to tell the truth. Man, ain't I living the peak of my adolescence? Barely into high school as well. I mutter: "I dunno... Five, six maybe? Including you that one time..."
"Hmmm...!" She pouts, the blush on her face being either of rage or arouse. It's not like I'm one of those guys who sleeps around a lot, and she knows that, but still. "To think you're my first time in everything so far..."
"I'm sorry." I mutter, wiping off the drool in my mouth. I'm not like my dad, I don't take (too much) pride in kissing so many girls, but basically admitting that I'm not that chaste anymore is quite a step for me, and I don't know what to think of that. Hearing my apology, her expression softens and she turns bright red, mimicking my own expression.
"I-It's not like I'm mad or anything, Ichijou. I mean, I was kinda expecting you to be bolder than I am, anyway..." She mutters to herself, eyes also turned elsewhere as I look down on her. Even embarrassed like that, she's cute. 'Bolder', huh? I guess that's a way to put it. "First kiss... First cuddle... First time... I don't... Mind much. It's embarrassing to say that, but as long as it's with you, I don't mind not being your first... Or last..."
"..." She's not trying to seduce me anymore, those are words earnestly said from the bottom of her heart. I can feel it, my heart throbs and my eyes sting. She really... She really... "Rina... That last part doesn't make any sense."
"I just don't know what to say~! Don't be a jerk, I'm trying my best!" She moans, pouting and kicking her legs away. I laugh, such levity, and after a while, she giggles under her breath. I stare at her, she stares at me, then turns elsewhere, blushing. "H-Hey, Ichijou..."
"...?"
"I know it sounds troublesome, but... It's really hard to remove my clothes with just one arm." She says, her voice turning into a mutter as she goes on and on to the end of that sentence. I was taken back, who's the bolder one now?! To practically get her point across, she reached one arm to the brim of her sweater and pulled to expose her stomach to me. "Could you help me with that?"
"..." My eyes gaze to a random direction again. What is this again? Am I embarrassed of stripping her? Yes, yes I am. She catches my cue and pouts again.
"What? It's not like its the first time you see me naked." Shut up, I know this already. I know how her breasts weight, how they sag and even the shape of her nipples, but doing it upfront is... Also, I had it with her sass.
"Rina, do you want to do it or not?" I say, annoyed.
"I want to, but someone is not cooperating~!" She snarks back, and for that a small brow of mine twitch. She's ruining this entire mood, but in the end its all my fault for being such a... Virgin.
"Fine, fine. Just... Turn around or something. Seeing you staring is making me a bit nervous." I declare back. Her staring is a bit too distracting and seeing her being so eager yet so exasperated really breaks the mood, maybe just staring at her ass and back won't be as unnerving as her front. She puffs a little.
"Ohoh~, that's new. Feeling kinky, Ichijou?" She laughs, but seeing my grimace probably made her comply as she rolled around on the bed and lay on her stomach, kicking her legs up and down and pulling her arm so it would pillow her face there. Still with the strips on her sweater, and the curve her body makes from her nape down to her ass. It's quite a sight, actually. I trace a small line on the trail of her spine, and she trembles. "Hooh~, that was nice... Huhuh, maybe this position is really the best for u-..."
*GRIP!*
"Uwahahahah~...!" And I shut her up with a strong grip on her shoulders, tight yet gentle.
"Shut it, Rina..." I say, and with that, I start to massage her shoulders, gripping and molding her flesh and articulations that were already too stiff. Her first response was a laugh in shock and surprise. Ah, even under her sweater, her skin is warm and nice on the touch.
"Hoh~... Hooooh~... W-What a nice massage~... Truly, what a nice servant I hav-Haaaaah~..." She moans, face buried on the blankets while I touch and grip her body. From here, I see her kick the air and twitch her toes while more moans escapes her lips. My hands go from her shoulders to her shoulders blades and then she pulls the covers once there. "H-Haaaaah~! ...!"
"Rina...?" I turn to the redhead when I saw her use one of her hands to shut herself up. That was a loud moan, and it aroused me even more! She turns around and give me a side glance with teary eyes.
"Y-Y-You're really getting bold, ain't ya, red dragon? That one... Was a rude one. My bad..." She mutters, red as a tomato, hand covering a hand. 'Rude'? Far from it, actually, I'm glad she can see my... Reaction to her moans. I remove my hands from her just to see her react, and certainly, she pouted a little. "You... You can continue... If you want. It feels... It feels real good..."
"Really?"
"Y-Yes, you... You don't have to hold b-Aaaaaah~...!" And I grip her back one more time and she let out a moan once again, even sticking her tongue out in surprise. I see, so she has a sensitive back too. I start to grope and grip and press every corner and cranny of her stiff back, accordingly she would shout, moan, kick and quiver. There was a point she wouldn't even try to hide her moans, she just moans and drools on the sheets. "Haaaah~... Hoooh~... Hah hah~... Hmmm~!"
Hah, what a turn on: seeing Gremory on her stomach on a bed, moaning and twitching while her face drools on the bed with a tongue sticking out, looking completely defeated. For every part of her back my hands would reach or stroke, she would tremble and let out a moanful whimper, pulling the sheets and kicking her legs while her hair would go everywhere. Ah, I want to touch her more, I want her to moan more...
"H-Hey, Rina... I'm taking off your sweater now..." I murmur, trying yet failing to stay composed. It was just too erotic, and the embarrassment and arrouse was reaching my head to the point I might have an aneurism any moment now. I just want to touch her more. She turns around once more and give me a teary side glance.
"~..." She moans, turning back to the bed and reaching her hand for the lower parts of her sweater. I helped her slide that pesky piece of cloth away, undressing her lower spine, then midback, her shoulderblades and finally her shoulders and nape. I had a little problem with her right arm since its still lame, but when that got out of the way, I finally could see it, Rina's naked back. So pale, so smooth, a few scars here and there, but she looked so fragile. She lays back on her stomach.
Also, I noticed she wasn't wearing a bra at all... Nice.
"Rina..."
"Hmm~..." She moans in the sheets as I poke her midsection, and from there, massages and grips again, this time rawly. Her skin is so smooth and warm, touching her like that is making me lightheaded. Meanwhile, she continues to moan and contort in bliss and pain. "Haaaah~... Heeeeeh~... G-Guuuuh~..."
"Does it feel good, Rina? You're making some pretty faces, there." I tried to small talk, teasing her a little because she just looks so cute from here. Hearing that, she snaps back to reality to close her mouth with a hand, but I had the brilliant idea to start tracing my name on her back, and soon enough, it was so much she moaned a loud one. "Answer my question, Berolina. Are you feeling fine?"
"Y-Yes~! Yes~! I'm feeling good~! Haaaah... Haaaah~..." She screams and then collapses back on the bed, her lower body quivering even more while she hugs the sheets and trembles.
"I see... I'm glad." I said. I'm not teasing her or making fun of her reactions, its just nice to hear she feels good, it makes me happy somehow... And hornier. "Okay, then... How about this?!"
*SLIDE!*
"H-Haaaaaah~!" She moans louder as I slide my hands from her back to her front and then reached for her breasts, which were already pointy and too sensitive! Before she could say anything, I reach for her nipples to pinch them! Her response was a louder moan and her whole body contorting in such a way I thought she to break her own spine. "H-Haaaah~... Haaah~... Huuuuh~...!"
I really like breasts, I really like those mounts of maternity, the natural cushions, the funbags of Mother Nature, the melons of feminine terrain, but above all else, I like Rina's breasts. They're soft and warm, not too big for them to be Unappealing but big enough for my tastes. Did I mention they're soft too? Groping them like that feels heavenly, just feeling their silky weight on my hands makes my mind go numb, and how their heat spread all over my palms as they bounce back and form in my hands... Hah~.
Her nipples are great too. They're so swollen and perky, her areolae are huge and just poking them and feeling them tickle the tip of my fingers is a great sensation. I poke them, bury them back into her breasts, pinch them between my fingers, yet I can't get enough of them. Rina's breasts are sure the brests!
Shit, her scent and body are turning me stupid enough to make lousy jokes like that.
"Ichijou~... Ichijou~...!" Now she's moaning my name, and I had to bite my lips so I wouldn't lose control. Snapping back to reality, I see myself on top of Rina with my whole body, my chest touching her sweaty naked back, my nose buried on the curve of her back and my hands groping her like I want to rip them off~. Moreover, our lower parts were also touching: with my hips on top of hers, my throbbing covered... Dragon was rubbing against her ripe, peachy butt, stroking itself between the buttocks on her shorts. Hah... I have to calm it down, but its getting too hot down there! Apparently, the redhead can feel it too, as for every slide of my member on her butt she would let out a small moan. "Hoh~... Hoh~... Haaahaah~..."
"Phew~..."
"H-Haaaah~! Haaaaaah~...!" Her body stiffens yet again after a quick blow on the back of her ear. Again, she continues to moan and gasp now that I'm licking there while rubbing her breasts and touching her butt with my rod. It was too much for her, so much her tone of voice became teary and desperate. "H-Haaaah~...! W-Wait~...! Please, Ichijou~... T-This is too muuuuch~...! You're making my head stupid~! Haaaah~! Haaaah~...! Haaaah~...!"
She moans and kicks, and I hug her from behind around her breasts, feeling her sweaty tits on my grasp while I cover her wholly, as if I was trying to merge with her. My hands on her breasts, my chest on her back, my head on the curve of her neck and my hips on her butt, if someone could see, they would think I were a snake trying to strangle her.
"~...!" And then it happened. After stroking her breasts one last time and giving her another bite, she arched her back and let out a mute scream, sticking her tongue out and drooling all over the place. Being so touchy with her, I could feel her entire body trembling and her lower parts going stiff. Oh, was that an orgasm?
After that, her entire body collapsed on the bed and a puddle of her own sweat and drool. Me? I removed myself from her and suspended my body with my hands. From her breasts, my hands went to her face and then inside her mouth, feeling her drool on them. She then starts to suck and lick on my fingers. Huh, it's a bit gross, but even her mouth is soft and good to touch...
"C'mon Rina, that's a bit gross..." I murmur playfully, yet I don't mind her sucking on my fingers and smearing my fingers on sugar and saliva. I use my other hand to pat her head, and she let out another moan. "Good girl, good girl..."
Oh crap, I'm getting excited too.
"Chuu~... Chuu~... Ptu! Hah." But then, out of the sudden, she spits up my fingers away from her mouth, which surprised me a little. Did she come for her senses again? Apparently yes since she turns around to face me with a teary, pouty expression. "Ichijou~...!"
"A-Ah...! Rina...?"
*PUSH!*
"Wah...!"
*BUMP!*
"H-Hey, what's the big idea?" I said once I could tell what was going on: in just one small move, the Gremory simply pushed me down the bed and sat on top of my me, her face still bright red but a frown on her brows. Her entire body is glittering with sweat and her hair has fallen on top of her breasts.
"Haaah~... Haaah~... Now you show me yours." She intones in a demanding tone. Wait, what?
"Hah...?"
"S-Show me your thing. You already played with my tits..." She said with a pouty face, leaning on top of me to touch foreheads with me and support herself on my body. Again, her breasts are smashing against my chest and her hands reaches lower and lower, from my chest, to my stomach, all the way down to my crotch. I bit my lips to contain a moan. "... So it's only natural for me to touch you there too!"
"I don't think that's how it works, Rina..." I murmur, and again I almost bite my tongue off when she grabbed me down there and slid herself to face my crotch. She stares down at the bulge in my shorts, and again, her stare is making me weak. She pokes and strokes it while shivers run down my spine. In the end, she grabs the brim of my shorts and starts to pull it down. For that, I panic a little! "H-Hey...! That's dangerous, Rina! Knock it off...!"
"What do you mean 'dangerous'? Stop treating me like I don't know about s-...!" And then she pulled my pants down to reveal my rod in its full, erect glory, leaving her speechless seeing my dragon throbbing and drooling. Damn it, now she has done it! Seeing he staring at my avatar made me turn my face elsewhere as steam oozes from my ears. "A-Ah... Hah. T-T-That's a nice... D-D-Dragon you got there... Ahahah... Ahahahah..."
"Please stop talking..." I murmur, the second-handed embarrassment mixed with my own turning this otherwise erotic situation very awkward. I tremble when she catches my shaft with her hand and starts to awkwardly stroke it, making even more juices come from the tip.
"It's... Kinda cute too." She says, her hot breath touching my thing and making me quiver again while I can sense each of every one of her fingers gently playing with the pulsating body. *Kun! Kun~!*, she gives it a sniff and let out another dreamy sigh, the air making me weak. "Ew~... But it smells so bad, like fish or bleach. It's a bit gross... But, I don't... I don't..."
*CHU~!*
"Ugh...!"
"I don't dislike it~." And then Berolina Gremory started giving me a blowjob. First, she kissed the tip, which was enough to make me groan, and little by little she started to swallow it until the entire head was inside her mouth. I can feel it, I can feel she gently blowing her breath onto the tip while she sticks her tongue out to lick the glans trapped in her lips. S-Shit, it feels so good~, her tongue is so soft and slippery, massaging my head like that, drawing circles around it. Then she pops her mouth out of my thing and starts licking it. "Fwah~... But still, its a bit gross. The scent is very strong, so strong being in my mouth is a bit nauseous... I don't mind licking it, though..."
"Y-You take your time..." I mutter back. That's no snark or sarcasm, by the way; either being herself or sucking me off, I don't mind waiting until she's comfortable with the situation. From licking it, she now starts playing with my dragon with her tongue, poking it with it, draws circles around the head, rest it on the base of her tongue and kiss it gently, all making me shiver and closer to climax. The heiress of the Gremory house is licking my rod like if its candy, and this is making me excited for some reason. I reach a hand for her and start stroking her red hair. "No hurries, I... Actually, I can't go anywhere, really."
"~..." She moans, kicking the head once again only to slip it inside again. This time, she slurps my entire dragon into her mouth, to the point I could feel it poking something! A-Ah, I can't even see it anymore! Her eyes are closed and trembling, and she starts tearing up a bit, gentle jumps on her body indicating she's coughing. Is she trying to choke herself?! "Hmmm~... Hmmmh~...!"
"H-Hey, Rina! You okay? That... That looks uncomfortable..." I say nervously. She turns her teary eyes back to me, her mouth swollen because of my member, and then opens her mouth to slowly crawl herself back and leave only a smeared rod behind, a small trail of saliva separating the two. She turns to a side and begins to cough! "A-Ah... Sorry..."
"Coff, coff~... Hm~, I still can't swallow it whole~... Nemesis makes it look so easy~..." She moans in annoyance, licking my sword again and kissing the small fissure on top. A brow of mine twitch a little, there she goes again talking about Nemesis-san's... Sex life.
"Rina, I don't need to know that you peek on your sister having sex, if you don't mind." I complain. Rina on the other hand shots her head back at me with bright eyes.
"But that's a way for me to know how to do it in practice! Since they do it almost everyday, I don't have to schedule those or anything!" Rina's eyes are dead serious while I am here mesmerized of how cryptic this conversation went. Almost everyday, she says, either pure devils have that much stamina or Nemesis-san is very healthy. I let out a careless grunt while Rina uses her tongue to play with my weapon. "Haaah~... Since its smaller than Nero-niisama's, I thought it would be easier for me to swallow~, but I guess not..."
*CRACK!*
"..."
"...?"
"Rina, you don't compare sizes between guys! Neither you say that one is smaller! YOU JUST DON'T!" I scream at her! What the fuck?! Now not only I know Nero-san's bigger than I am (not that it matters, good for him), she thinks I'm smaller! Surprised by my outburst, she makes a teary sad face! That only makes me angrier!
"Eh~?! You mean men don't compare sizes and stuff~?! Women are always comparing bust size!" She moans in disbelief! I don't give a fuck what women compare themselves with, you just don't compare guys' swords like that and announce it like it's nothing, you just don't! Now I'm red with rage, and cover my mouth so I won't take a bite out of her! Calm down, Ichijou! Just... Calm down!
"We don't... Compare those things...! At least when I'm concerned...!" I said trying to contain my urge to kill. My pride, which wasn't all that great, being shattered like that, feels like a sick joke. Once this was out of the way, I turn to Rina once again, eyes still frowning, and grunted. "Just... Don't! Compare sizes between guys... I feel as miserable as of now, I don't need to know I'm lacking in other places too..."
"S-Sorry... H-Hey, will a blowjob make you feel better?" She asks with the most fucking innocent eyes and tone one could muster while also mentioning fellatio, and instead of responding, I simply nodded. With her glare brighten a little, she caught my rod again and slid all the way again. I grunt in pain while stops midway, now bobbing her head back and fourth as she could. "Hmmm~... Hmmm~... Hah~..."
Despite my misery now, what I can say that she's doing great? Her insides are also soft, with her tongue licking me inside her moist cavity while her teeth gently stroke the sides of my member. I bite my lower lips so I wouldn't let a moan escape my lips, but it just feels so nice~. Slurp~, slurp~. Gulp~. Indecent noises echo from her mouth as drool starts to leak through the cracks between her lips and my... Avatar.
Even so, I just can't take my eyes off her. I don't know why, but there's something about the dissonance between her pretty, girlish, innocent-looking face and the fact that she's giving me a messy fellatio makes this scenario even hotter. Her cheeks swells up, her eyes are cloudy, more and more drool and sweat spits everywhere as she's sucking on me, looking like she's on a daze. I can't help but to groan and twitch in pure ecstasy, reaching a hand for her head so I could pat it and caress her gorgeous red hair which was already messy with all the... Work she's putting on me.
"Rina... Rina~...!" I moan, feeling something building up inside my spear, concentrating on the tip until it became unbearable. Still in her little lewd world, Rina continued to blow me, and I could feel the smallest details of it all: from my tip brushing against the soft flesh of her cheeks, her gentle accidental bites, her tongue trying to strangle me and her whole mouth acting like she wants to swallow me entirely. Too much, too much~! My patting hands suddenly caught her by the ears and without warning helped me shove my entire organ inside her mouth. "R-Rina...!"
"Hmmm~...?!" Was her last desperate attempt to snap back, but it too late: as my entire rod penetrated her mouth, something inside practically exploded and with it a violent orgasm that came without warning. "Hmmm~! HMMMMMMH~...! HMMMMM~...!"
Her eyes shot open, her mouth gasps, and then I released everything inside of it. Little by little, I would discharge my seed inside her, each burst as pain yet blissful as the last, so much I entered a trance-like state and continued to come as if my life was for just to turn Rina's mouth into a cum dumpster. From here, I can see Rina slowly choking on my essence: her eyes are cloudy as ever, her lips tremble and her mouth starts to leak semen, saliva and even some of bile, all while I wouldn't let go of her head and mercilessly dispose every single drop of that orgasm on her...
"H-H-Hmmm~...! H-Hmmm~...! Fuuh~, fuuh~...!" And even after I stopped coming, I still had Rina's head held just to feel her mouth around my member bathed in its own warm semen. Her breathing was unrhythmic and trembling, her nose tried its best to pump air into her body, and her only functional arm reached for one my thighs to lightly tap it, searching any form to free her from my clutches. Eventually, her struggles ceased, and now she just became a ragdoll in my arms, her glare empty and cloudy as her mouth would produce choking moans dripping with saliva and milk...
"Haaah~... Haaaah~... Huh?" And then it was my time to snap back to reality. I look down and seeing Rina in that state made me panic. Ah shit, don't tell me I drown her in my own cum! Holy crap, I knew I was backed up and the stress might've something to do with it, but what the hell! As fast as I could, I disconnected Rina from my rod and what came from inside her mouth was an ungodly combination of bile, semen and saliva. Her only response from being freed was small coughs and hiccups. "A-Ah... Oh God... R-Rina, are... Are you alive...?"
"Hic... Hic... Hic..." She would hiccup and cough, every single of them making her spit a little bit of semen from her mouth until she had a waterfall of white liquid from her lips (I'm exaggerating a little, but that was quite load regardless!). "Haaaah~... Haah~..."
"H-Hey, Rina! Answer me~... Are you okay? I didn't... Deepthroated to death, did I?" I ask a stupid question that wasn't actually of the realms of possibility, as much I would hate to appear on the underworld news as the guy who choked a Gremory royalty to death with his dick. I put myself and her sit on the bed and held her by the shoulders so she could at least try to look at me, despite her cloudy, tired eyes. "H-Hey, Rina... C'mon, answer me... Say something..."
"I... Ichijou..." She starts, her glare slowly turning to me, but then out of the sudden, her entire body collapsed and she landed her face right on my lap! Oh crap, she's definitely dead now!
"H-Hey, Rina...!"
"Lesson learnt." But before I could ask her anything else, she simply lifted her left hand and gave me a thumbs up. For that, my spirit went from desperate to confused. Wait, what?
"H-Huh...?"
"I... Know better now..." She murmurs, still with her face glued to my crotch and her hand in the air. I was about to ask her about this whole ordeal, but then: "Size... Really doesn't matter."
"..."
"..."
...
"Y'know, you really say the darnest things sometimes..."
"Heheheheheh..." She giggles, turning her head so she could stare at me from the corner of her eye. "H-Hey... We're all stinky now. How about... We take the sheets and clothes to the laundry and... Take a shower together?"
"..." I'm probably grimacing again. Showering with Rina... Doesn't sound like a bad idea. And honestly, the smell around the room is making me noxious a little. I pat her head and smile. "Sure. Let's take a bath..."
"Heheheh..."
And here it ends the chapter for now. At least, the first part of this chapter as a whole. The second part will still have fucking, so no worries about going on...
Hello, dxd and readers, houki Minami Here. I'm sorry for my extended absence and lack of lemons in this chapter. Truth be told, I was kinda expecting my juices to come back while writing this chapter, but honestly, while I do still have some things prepared for the second half of the lemon, I didn't want it to ruin the mood between Ichijou and Berolina too much, which was, in my opinion, the most wholesome moment between the two in a way, not to mention other moments between his peerage and maybe a nudge for upcoming lemons. I hope the whiplash didn't kill anyone, lol.
So for now, enjoy the wholesomeness and the lime of this chapter knowing that next part things will get... Even Messier. I promise to have my juices back writing it, for bad or for worse. I'll also make it up by writing a new lemon soonish enough. Again, I'm sorry, stay tuned and safe and greetings~.
NOTE: Tasha's crude joke is a japanese pun. Eye in Japanese can be read as "Manako", but she says instead that her "manko" is always open, which means... a very crude way to call the female genitalia. A hit too spicy for our little witch, eh?
