High School PxD
"What if Issei joined the Phenex family?"
A High School DxD Fanfiction by Christopher'Zazel
Chapter 16 "Emotional Relief?"
"Are you sleeping?" Ravel was nervously opening Issei's guest room door.
The teen didn't respond, rather he just rolled over under his blankets.
Quietly walking through and closing the door behind her, Ravel then made her way toward the side of the bed in where the mass under the sheets was.
"Issei, are you awake?" Ravel had her arms stretched out, as if she was about to pull the covers back.
"Can you please, just, erm, leave me alone, I'm sorry, but…" Muffled Issei responded but his voice had a rattle to it, almost as if he was recently crying.
The concerned look on Ravel's face was added with a growing red color as her lips began to purse in a frowning expression. Now looking somewhat cross, Ravel pulled back the covers with a bit of force behind it.
Issei was lying on his side as both of his arms were wrapped around one of the many pillows that adorned this large bed. His face was obscured by said pillow however his eyes were visible. Ravel's anger was replaced with pity and sadness the moment the verified her suspicion that he was indeed crying.
"Oh hell no, I am not leaving you alone. Are you insane? First you get killed by a fallen angel, then you get thrown into a world you know nothing about. While all of that happened in less that 24 hours as you say, add the fact that you are dealing with killing somebody. From the look of it, that was your first time, taking another's life?" Ravel released the blankets and put her arms against her hips as her expression turned unnaturally maternal. "Well? Are you going to lie to me again and just say that you want to be left alone?"
Issei did all but shake his head silently.
"Thought so, alright, stay put, I'm getting in bed on the other side." Ravel quickly ran to the otherside of the bed before diving into the covers.
She then slowly moved closer toward Issei, (as he wasn't facing her). "Issei, turn around."
Before she knew it, the teen had rolled over and placed both arms around her. As her blue eyes widened in shock, Issei's head was buried in the blonde girl's drill-like hair.
"I'm sorry." Issei started to silently cry.
Slowly, Ravel reciprocated while she placed both of her arms around the distraught and internally defeated teenager turned devil. "Oh gosh, it's alright, I've got you."
While she had hold of her shivering and broken savior, Ravel felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility for the recent events involving Freed and Asia. Hindsight, the younger Phenex heiress thought it might've been better to call for her peerage before entering that strange house. But then again.
Ravel began to stroke Issei's hair. Then it might've been too late for Asia. Reality was that events transpired as they did and as a proud member of the House of Phenex, Ravel was going to make damn well sure that both Asia and her (hopefully) future husband would be protected, loved and want for nothing.
"You protected me, back then, you took care of me, saved my life, even though it was my flames that hurt you, that scarred you." Ravel spoke softly as a single tear fell from her eye.
Issei was about to raise his head, however Ravel pulled his face into her neck.
"Your scars are from my hands and legs, as you carried me out, right before the building collapsed. Issei, that was my fire. I started the inferno. I couldn't control it and I got lost and I panicked." Ravel began to cry a bit herself.
Issei's eyes were open wide while watering. After hearing Ravel's proclamation, the teen softly tightened his hold.
"It's okay, I wear my scars with pride, you know. It's proof that a life was saved. So don't apologize for my trophy." Issei giggles in between his sobs.
Ravel quiets down and decides that she wants to comfort Issei in a more comfortable way as her neck and shoulders were beginning to get a bit numb.
"Um, Issei, (sniffle), would you please move down just a bit?" Ravel then began to push down on Issei's head where she was stroking her hair.
Following her motion, Issei soon realized that she was moving his head toward her chest as she laid sideways, pulling him into her. "Wait, Ravel? I don't know if we should be mmmmph…"
With one arm wrapped tightly around Issei's head and the other around his shoulder, Ravel was playing opposite-big spoon as the teen's face was now in between the blonde short stack's generous cleavage.
As one of her legs wrapped around Issei's mid section, Ravel then took a deep breath. "Let me take care of you. Just let this happen. It's something I've wanted for quite a long time, even before we reunited. Issei, even if my sister loses, (which she won't), I want you to be mine, even if I have to share you with Sitri."
Issei attempts to respond, however Ravel's breasts refuse to allow the teen to speak.
"Alright, I'll admit it, your master and I were talking while you were…erm." Ravel got nervous and quickly wanted to avoid the death subject. "Well, I told her that if Riser win's, (because she will), that she would still be allowed to erm…"
Issei muffles. "Mmmmph?"
"Well, I don't know if you know, but she kinda likes you and stuff. Anyway, don't be concerned about the little things, the point is, I said she could and that made her happy. Well, in response, she extended her own offer, assuming somehow, someway Riser were to lose, I would be allowed to erm…well, with you." Ravel was blushing heavily, (unknown to a smothered Issei).
"Anyway…" Ravel allows Issei a bit of air as he is now looking up at her with a mildly blank stare. "I want you to share yourself with me. Tell me about what hurts. All of it. I may not have the experience to understand everything and I may come off as arrogant, (even though I am amazing and can't help it…)" Ravel smiles proudly and then catches herself in the act. "Erm, well, I don't know what else to say. So talk, Issei!" Ravel shows a firm and maternal expression as her blue eyes stare down at Issei.
Thinking about her words, a voice took over his mind.
"DO WHAT THIS LITTLE DEVIL IS TELLING YOU. SHE IS MUCH SMARTER THAN YOU MIGHT GIVE HER CREDIT FOR. IN FACT, SHE IS LEAGUES OF AHEAD OF YOU IN THAT ASPECT AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS. WITH THAT, COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AND DO WHAT RAVEL PHENEX ASKS!"
"Oh, now you decided to start speaking to me? What is it that you do with all of your spare time?"
"WHAT DO I DO, YOU ASK? WELL, YOU LITTLE SHIT, FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I AM SPENDING A GREAT DEAL OF MY TIME ATTEMPTING TO PREVENT (MY) POWER FROM KILLING YOU! SO, IF I WERE YOU, I'D BE GRATEFUL, SQUIRT!"
"Whatever dude, just don't eat me. So, do what Ravel chan asks?"
"NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, DO IT!"
"Pfft fine…bye."
Issei noticed Ravel's expression, (which was now one of losing patience). "Oh, Ravel, yeah, okay, I'll talk."
Squinting suspiciously back down toward a nervous looking Issei, Ravel slowly smiles. "I can tell if you're lying, just so you know. Just remember that I have you in a precarious position, one in which I can easily punish you." Ravel threatens by pulling Issei closer toward her cleavage once more.
"Gotcha, whatever you say, Ravel." Issei's eyes were locked on Ravel's valley of heaven.
Enjoying the fact that Issei was being very cooperative, Ravel grew a small yet loving smirk. "Are you sure, Hyoudou?" Ravel shakes her shoulders a bit, causing her breasts to sway back and forth as she was laying on her side.
Issei's attitude has completely changed from severely depressed to now extremely aroused. "This short and cute blonde is acting much older than she appears to be. Is this maybe because she's a devil? Wait, are all devil's into this kinda stuff? Now that I think about it, Lady Phenex seems to have her certain, erm, fetishes. I wonder if Ravel's happens to coincide with "death by spoilage"? Well, whatever, I need to focus right now, no, not on those perfectly shaped flesh mounds, but rather, her questions." Issei looks back up and nods.
"Alright then, let's start with that fallen angel. What happened?" Ravel then softly leaned Issei against her while she began to comb through his hair with her fingers.
Taking a very deep breath and remembering what his dragon told him, Issei began in a quiet voice. "Her name was Yuuma. She was this random girl who just showed up out of the blue, asking me out on a date. Without thinking twice, I agreed. I suppose my fate was sealed after that, heh." Issei swallowed a dry gulp. "So, we went on this date that she had planned out. Little did I know that both Rias and Sona senpai were trailing me, watching me. When Yuuma showed her true colors…" Issei grinds his teeth. "The bitch…" Looking back up, Issei felt a soft kiss on his forehead and that prompted him to continue. "Well, she tried to kill me, though, now that I really think hard about it, she actually did end up doing that. I guess I did actually die. Anyway, Sona and Tsubaki took care of Raynare, (oh, that was Yuuma's real name), and after that, I was back at school. I don't remember much after that, aside from eating breakfast at, (I'm guessing is Sona's restaurant?), well, and then you guys, (Your big sis and you, Ravel)." Issei got quiet while his eyes looked very relaxed.
"I see. And then there is the matter of Freed Sellzen." Ravel quietly spoke.
Issei nods as his face shows a deep frown. "Yeah, well, you know what happened in that fucked up house, but then, after we went back with Sona…"
"You executed an enemy." Ravel adds.
Issei nods quietly.
"And you've never killed anyone before until now, right?" Ravel asks in an empathetic way.
"No." Issei closes his eyes.
"Yeah, that's a lot to deal with in less than two days, for anyone really." Ravel agrees with herself.
"Okay, well then, I have one last question for you. Consider it a bonus round. If you answer correctly, I will comfort you and keep you safe tonight, no questions asked." Ravel smiles very warmly.
Issei nods. "That actually sounds really nice, thanks Ravel."
Ravel grins. "Don't thank me yet. Hehehe." The younger Phenex heiress reaches into her nightie pockets and pulls out two pairs of nylon rope. "If it turns out that you lie to me, then I get to use you any way that I'd like…" Ravel tightens her hold with her remaining arm against Issei.
"Fine, okay, Ravel, what's your question?" Issei can't take his eyes away from the ropes in Ravel's other hand.
"Are you a virgin?" Ravel smiles innocently.
In auto mode, Issei answers without thinking. "Hell no!"
Ravel's grin is almost terrifying at this point.
Scene (Lady Phenex's Chambers).
We see a very dimly lit room however it is very fancy. Gold and silver adorned the bedroom as the fireplace lit the walls with an eerie cast of shadows.
"Yes, Lady Phenex, they just arrived moments ago." Isabella was kneeling at the ladies bed.
Meanwhile, the head of the home herself was leaning against a large set of pillows as she stared down at her older daughter's servant.
"I see, very well, you are dismissed. I will deal with all of this, first thing in the morning!" The lady then snapped her fingers as Isabella rose to her feet.
