Ok so, this chapter is much shorter than what I usually write. I'm ok with that sometimes.

So I wasn't exactly sure if I should have written this, but I decided with everything that happened, this was plausible. Yea, I do think it could happen. Anyways... I hope you enjoy it. I own nothing.

So heres the deal, this story will NOT be continuing for much longer. I love Issei x Kuroka, but I really prefer Issei x Harem.

So for a Kuroka x issei story, we all can agree this was good right? I won't end it here of course and I won't end it until a lemon... but I don't think it's going to be a long project. That beign said, the rewrite will be.

Oh and I would like some ideas. I know I wanna do at least one lemon and then a epilogue, wrapping up this story with the Light Novel. I asid this won't be a project, but I at least want 2-3 more chapters before the Lemon then the Epilogue. So, if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them. I could possibly write tonight.

And on that rewrite note... do we wanna see Syndragosa again or shall I come up with a different person inside of him? I was thinking A ring-wraith like from the Shadows of Mordor game...

I recently just beat the game... and omfg it was orgasmic... FUN FUN FUCKING FUN! I hated the boss battles in the end though... the fucking orcs were harder then them. . But all in all, I give it a 10/10. Anyways... I was thiniking Issei could be the fucking Gravewalker. Whatcha think?

Issei lips gently touched those of Kuroka, who was wide eyed and was frozen stiff by the sudden attack. Issei only kissed her for a second, but she was at least stunned with silence for ten more.

"Issei... Did you just... kiss me? Why?"

"That's a kiss?"

"Wait... seriously? You don't even know what a kiss is?"

"No... Should I have?"

"You... why did you do that Issei?"

"I saw all the others do it and they looked happy doing it. I thought I would make you happy by doing the same thing..."

"Oh Issei, a kiss is meant for couples. You don't do it when you are just friends. See those people, those are couples. As in they are together and dating."

"Aren't we together and dating?" Issei asked confused.

"No Issei. When I said we were on a date, it was meant as a joke. Issei, dating someone requires two people to like each other more than friends. It's not something two friends do. We are just eating dinner together."

"Oh I see. What is more then friends? I'm not really understanding the concept."

"It's love Issei. Love. Love is what is more than friends. And you can't explain love. It's just something that comes natural. I can describe what it is like though..."

"Well, I'm not understanding anything... but... when I'm near you... for some reason I get this feeling I dont get near anyone else. Not even my mother. My stomach gets queasy, my palms sweat a little, I get nervous... and when I mean queasy, it's like butterflies are flying around in my stomach and they can't get out. My heart races a lot when I'm near you. And for some reason, when I'm with you and we are with other people, I just want to impress you! It's why I made those jokes at Vali!"

Kuroka blinked and was frozen stiff. He was basically saying he was in love with her and he has no idea what is going on. He looked like a puppy who just discovered he had a tail. She gave him a small smile as he had his head in his hands, completely confused.

"It's not all... my knees go weak sometimes... and I don't want to leave your side... I... I want to be with you forever. I think I'm dying." Issei said, looking at her lost and confused. He has never smiled to her but she can see that he cares for her more than he understands. He never got to experience love before, as he never went to High School where people learn all about this crap. She has seen rage from him and sadness, but she hasn't seen happiness from him. She knows he is happy near her and he pretty much voiced it to her, she was estastic.

"Issei, what you just described..." Kuroka said, leaning over the table. "Is love." She said, closing the distance and kissing his lips gently, holding him by his shoulders as her lips melted with his own. It took him no time to respond to the kiss and he leaned his head back and deepened the kiss.

When they finally disconnected from such a kiss, Issei looked at her confused. "So we are on a date now?"

"I suppose so. This really has been the weirdest way I've ever hooked up with someone." Kuroka said, laughing now. "Nyahahaha. Issei, You have no idea what any of this means do you?"

"No... but I feel... happy." Issei said, giving her a very weak smile.

"You... just... smiled! Nya! I love it!" Kuroka said, forgetting the fact she was in a public place for a moment and kissed his lips sensually. He responded with just as much fervor.

The waitress came over with a big smile. "I knew you guys were such a cute couple! Ah, I love it! Well here is your steaks. Please enjoy. I'll be back later but I'm going to give you guys some privacy." She said, winking before leaving.

Issei began to cut open his steak before putting his utensils down. He looked right at Kuroka and she looked back at him, confused.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't understand any of this."

"What do you want explained first."

"What are we now? I don't exactly feel like we are anything different. I just know I feel happier now."

"Well, I suppose since we have been near each other for so long, it just feels natural. I mean there are more physical things we could do now, like kissing, and hugging."

"Oh... I like kissing." Issei said with a small smile.

"Everyone does." Kuroka said with a giggle. "But I guess you can call us boyfriend and girlfriend now."

"So we are still friends?"

"Of course. Just... friends who are more intimate."

"Oh. Ok. So... Are you ok with this? With me kissing you."

"I did kiss you on my own volition didn't I? Yes Issei, I am more then satisfied with being your kitty." Kuroka said with a wink.

"Oh... cool... cause of the cats I know... you are definitely in the top 3."

Kuroka blinked and looked at him.

"Top 3?"

"Sure, theres my stuffed kitty, Koneko and you... but not in that order."

"Ok... but what's the order then?"

"My stuffed kitty, Koneko and you."

"Oh, you're making a joke." Kuroka said, giving him a malicious grin. She flicked a bit of mashed potatoes on his nose, giving him the evil eye.

"I thought it was funny, but no you are my favorite cat. I like you Kuroka."

"Sorry, but you already hurt my feelings. You will be sleeping on the floor tonight." Kuroka said, being very nonchalant about it, not even breaking a sweat at this.

"But I was kidding... Kuroka, please don't make me sleep on the floor."

Kuroka just ate her dinner, ignoring Issei who was panicking. She was acting completely serious and mad at him! Issei was also eating his dinner, but his hands were shaking and his eyes were filled with worry and concern. Kuroka was trying so hard not to smile. She figured if he was doing better enough to make such jokes to HER, then he was able to take jokes as well.

The dinner ended quietly and as Kuroka left the parking lot and headed back up the mountain to the mansion, Issei was behind her.

"Please Kuroka. I'm sorry! I won't joke around again! I didn't know you weren't able to take it!"

Kuroka ignored him and entered the mansion, heading up to her room for bedtime. They had already spent an hour after she said he was sleeping on the floor, and he was a wreck. He entered her bedroom and without even looking at him, she was making the bed. He just sighed and gave up on trying to convince her, so he took a pillow and an extra blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed on the floor. When Kuroka was settled in the sheets, she looked over at Issei and smirked.

"Issei, what are you doing?"

"Sleeping on the floor, like you said."

"Come here, you can sleep on the bed now ok?" Kuroka said sweetly, her tail swishing back and forth. He got up slowly and made his way to the bed, testing the waters as he climbed in slowly. Seeing her eyes never leaving his, he just climbed in and snuggled into the sheets as well. She gave him a grin, a very malicious grin. "I was only joking around. I can take a joke too you know."

"What?! You were only kidding?! Why did you leave me so worried?!"

"It was fun." She said easily, her head propped up on her hand.

Issei narrowed his eyes. "Syndra was right, you are a bad kitty."

"Nyahahahahaha." Kuroka laughed evilly, pulling Issei into her arms and hugging him from behind, spooning with him.

Issei blinked and hugged his stuffed kitty in his arms, nuzzling himself into the soft pillowy bosom of his girlfriend and the soft pillows below his head. It felt heavenly. This was new to Issei, but he was satisfied. He felt safe and happy in the arms of Kuroka, and while he had no clue on what he was supposed to do with a girlfriend, he wasn't worried. Kuroka was the greatest.
