It was finally the day of the wedding, Issei and Riser were sitting in a room. "Ok ok Riser calm down things will go fine I know what I did last time kinda left you traumatized but I can assure you no one will interrupt your wedding this time around." Said Issei to calm the nervous man.
Riser was silently dreading every possible interruption at the wedding. "Look this time around I'm sure there won't be anyone coming, plus Sirsechs isn't plotting today and the other Satans don't mind the wedding." Said Issei reassuringly.
"You know you're a lot wiser than I thought you'd be." Sighed Riser at his newly made friend and best man.
"Well with everything that's been thrown at me in such a short time I had no other choice but to step up and learn, but right now we have to focus on your wedding." Said Issei.
"Alright I'll leave here to calm down, I'm going to check on Reynares as well as set up a few things with the band." Said Issei as he walked to the door.
"Hey Issei thank you." Said Riser again as the boy stepped out nodding his head at him.
As he walked out Ravel was standing by the door waiting for her brother. "How is he doing?" Asked the girl.
"Well better now it took a bit of reassuring him, he's worried someone might pull another stunt like I did." Said Issei at the young Phenex.
"Oh." Said Ravel.
"But I think he's ready for the wedding. I have a few things to do so see you later, Ravel." Said Issei as he walked to the main ballroom area.
Issei spoke with the band, helped carry a few speakers and moved the instruments into place. After doing the heavy work he walked over to the band handing them the music sheets for the music he planned on playing that night. The band gladly took the sheets, whenever Issei came up with a song they were always informed or sent the samples as they honestly loved to play for Issei.
"And those are the songs for after the ceremony so be ready." Smiled Issei before heading to the main hall.
In the main hall was a woman who looked like an older and much more mature Ravel. "Lady Phenex, where do you want us to put the gifts?" Asked the two turquoise haired pawns of Riser.
"Oh Ille, Nel placed them on that desk over there." Said the older woman with a smile.
Around the ceremony hall Koneko, Kiba, Mittelt, Xenovia, Gasper and Asia were helping with preparations along with a few of Risers peerage. Rias, Akeno, Kalawarner and Raynare were in another room with Yubelluna preparing her for the wedding. Even though at first there was quite a bit of hostility before thanks to Issei all the girls have begun to get along quite well.
"Oh hey look, it's the song dragon!" Said one of the pawns dressed as a maid.
Quickly a few members of Risers peerage approached Issei. "Hi Mr. Dragon are you singing today?" asked the smallest members of the peerage.
"Your super cool nya." Spoke the other pair of twins.
"Yes, your singing Is quite comendible." Spoke the mask wearing a rook.
"Hey there dragon boy long time no see." Cut in the girl wearing the Chinese dress.
"Alright girl, please give the young man some space." Spoke to the lady of the Phenex house.
"Hello Red Dragon Emperor, I am the mother of Ravel and Riser, I welcome you to our home and thank you for what you've done for my son and family." Said the woman with a bow.
"Oh ma'am there's no need to thank me, I was just doing what was most beneficial for the underworld." Said Issei now returning the bow.
"Well you are a well mannered young man quite the opposite of what I've heard." Said the woman.
Issei stood and chuckled, scratching his cheek in embarrassment. The two continued to talk as the others prepared for the wedding. An hour had passed and everything was finally in place, the orchestra was ready and waiting, the decorations were set, and everyone was now freshening up for the ceremony.
Issei was with Riser preparing for the event. Riser wore a cherry red tuxedo with a white button up as well as a red tie. Unlike his usual outfits Riser had his clothing buttoned and proper.
Issei looked at the man and frownd, "yeah no that won't work, it's just your normal outfit worn properly and you just added a tie plus your hair needs a male over." Said Issei as he began to make a call.
"Hey Akeno, did you bring the makeup kit and tell Raynare to bring the hairdressing tools?"
A while after recovery from his coma and after getting a professional haircut Issei found out that Raynare was a pretty good hairdresser, she was the one that cut everyone's hair whenever they needed a haircut.
While the duo waited for the girls to appear Issei was going through Risers wardrobe but finding nothing but red. Really nothing but red come one man gets some variety in here. "Hey Kiba, I need you to go on a quick run with one of Risers Knights. I want you two to get a grey four piece suit, white shirt black tie and I need it as soon as possible." Spoke Issei urgently through the magic circle.
"Alright it seems the girls are here so get ready we are going to give you a makeover before the wedding." Said Issei as he held down the man to a chair as Akeno and a clearly pregnant Raynare entered the room.
"Well then girls let's start, oh and Ray, here this is what I need you to do, '' said Issei as he handed his phone over to the girl.
Raynare nodded and placed a cape over the man as they began his haircut. After a while of getting the man a haircut, Akeno began to apply makeup on the man, Riser was hesitant at first but thanks to Issei's dragonic strength he held the man down.
Halfway through the process there was a knock at the door and in stepped a maid of the Phenex house holding a bagged suit. "Hello Master Hyoudou I have brought the clothes you requested, where is master Phenex and who's this man," asked the maid with a blush.
"Well it's Riser, who else this is his room." Stated Issei.
The maid looked surprised that she didn't seem to recognize the man. After a moment the woman's blush went away and she turned back to her usual composure, "Will that be all sir." Asked the maid.
"Yes, that's all you can do now." Said Riser who was in the process of getting makeup applied.
Akeno had finished her work on the man's face and stood up proudly, "Alright girls you can go I'll see you three in a bit." Said Issei.
"Huh three but it was only those two here." Stated a confused Riser.
"Well did you notice Reynares belly?" Asked Issei.
Riser understood what Issei ment and smiled, "huh already going to be a dad. You really have me beat." Spoke Riser.
"Alright alright enough of that time to get dressed there, all probably waiting." Said Issei as he grabbed his clothes beginning to change.
After changing, the two stepped out and began to walk to the wedding hall. "I must say I never thought about changing my style once." Stated Riser quite impressed with how much his appearance and atmosphere around him seemed to change.
The two walked to the ceremony Issei encouraging Riser on the way. The two entered the hall and around them stood a large group of devil's. All eyes where on the two as they walked to the front Riser of the aisle. Riser stood at the end of the aisle and Isseis to his left besides, Sairarge, and two other blond men who looked similar to Riser.
Opisate of them stood a few of the girls from Riser Perrage it being, Xuelan, Isabella, Siri's and Karlamine. Everyone was surprised Riser looked like a complete different man. After a moment the music began and everyone quieted down. Walking down the Aisle was the purple haired queen of Riser.
Everyone looked in aw at the beauty of the woman as she approached the stand. As she looked up she couldn't help but have a loving smile and blush at seeing her husband to be dressed properly for there wedding. The ceremony went off without an insidident. Everyone was not at the reseption enjoying there food and talking. Issei was seated on a table with his friends, next to Rizer and his peerage.
Issei had to stick to tradition and as the best man stood tapping a spoon on the glass. Everyone quieted down and looked at the tall dragon. "Us Dragons aren't some for Speeches but I want to say a few words for the Bride and Groom. I know that the way we met was quite unpleasant for all parties involved however our current situation has shown us all that we all have room to change and grow. Riser you have come a long way from when we first met and I respect your drive, though once we were enemies you have asked me to be your best man and I'm thankfully for giving me this opportunity, it shows me you are a great man, are going to be a great husband and of course a father one day. And I will make this promise to you and everyone here who has come with support in there hearts, as long as I breathe I will not let your now loving and peicful lives be disrupted. So how is the time to celebrate the newly Weds now let's raise our glasses and take a drink to honor the man and woman of the hour." Said Issei as he began to drink.
Around the hall everyone followed his example and drank after there drink everyone cheered and clapped at the toast and the couple. With the cheered and clapped going on Issei took the small distraction and disappeared to go back stage.
Suddenly music began to play and everyone turned around to look at the stage. The curais opened and there in the front was Issei prepared to sing for the wedding.

The crowd was ecstatic with the music,
they had all stood, watched and danced
as Issei and the band played.
Issei let the cowed quiet down as he
began once more with his guitar and
piano.
There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
And there goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hands shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now
And if I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna hide no more
I don't wanna cry no more
Come back I need you to hold me (you are
the reason)
Be a little closer now
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer
I need you to hold me tonight
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
'Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
Clapping surrounded the ballroom as Issei stepped off stage leaving the band to continue with the usual slow dancing music associated with underworld parties. He walked over to Riser who received Issei with a hug thanking the dragon for everything he had done for them today. Yuballina stood beside her husband with a smile on her face seeing how much the man she loved had grown.
Now all the unmarried women stood behind Yuballina as she was preparing to throw her bouche of flowers. The bouche flew through the air and over the crowd of women, landing right on the lap of Raynare who decided not to get squished in the horde of women. Usually she would love such an act, however her concern was for her baby more than anything else.
The women turned around to notice the pregnant Raynare was the one who caught the flowers, be it unintentionally. The crowd smiled at the devil girl and applauded the catch. And for the rest of the night everything went on perfectly.
