Secrets Revealed

Aiz was in her room sitting on her bed. She was thinking about everything that had happened over the last few months and how people kept saying 'He isn't your Bell." This upset her. She was pretty sure Bell liked her, the same way she liked him so, why hadn't he asked her on a date or something yet. She had heard the man was supposed to do that kind of thing so, what was the hold up? She wasn't sure. She wanted something like that to show all those stupid girls that he was hers and to leave him alone. Plus, she would enjoy spending time with Bell like that quite a lot. The longer she thought about it the more and more she got upset. She eventually got worked up to the point that she decided she had to do something about it. She just couldnt't stand it any longer so, she jumped out of bed without thinking left her room She opens the door to Bell's room with a bit to much force banging it against the wall.

"Bell you should ask me on a date!"

"What?" Bell asked confused

It was at this moment Aiz realized what she had just done and started to to feel nervous and blushed but then she gathered the resolve needed. She had already gone for it, there was no turning back.

"You should ask me on a date... if you want to." She said much more quietly and hesitantly this time.

Bell was in shock. He wanted to talk but his mouth wouldn't move and after a few seconds of silence he saw Aiz's face slowly turn into a sad look. It looked like she was about to break down so, he willed his mouth to work.

"But, I thought you wanted someone strong..."

"Bell, you are strong. Alot stronger then me in most ways. Strength is more then just numbers on a status sheet. You are one of the strongest people I know. You are brave, resilient and caring to a fault. " she sighs "Bell, I am no good with my emotions but, I know you make me feel things that nobody else does and I care about you more than anybody so, please never think of yourself as unworthy because to me you are the only one who would ever be worthy." Aiz confessed and waited for his response

Bell was awestruck. He wondered if this was real. This couldn't be real. There was no way his idol just barged into his room, confessed and ask for a date but, he wasn't risking the chance it was real. Bell thought back to his hero books and other places he had seen to think of a response. He thought of nothing. Aiz had been honest with her feelings. He decided that he would do the same

"Aiz, I have loved you since the first time I saw you. You always have asked how I get strong so quickly. I didn't really know until recently but, Loki told me that Hestia had been keeping an ability secret from me. It is called Liaris Freese. I think I got it after you saved me from the Minotaur. It is powered based on my feelings for you. The stronger the feelings the faster I grow. I don't know how else to explain how I feel any better then that."

Aiz was ecstatic, she felt so warm and happy but, she had never done this kind of thing before so, she was kind of confused about all the implications and so she asked

"Does this mean you are my boyfriend now?" Aiz's lack of social awareness was on full display

"Being your boyfriend would make me the happiest man alive." Bell is blushing madly. This couldn't have just happened, not only had she asked him on a date but, she wanted a committed relationship. He thought about pinching himself to see if this was a dream but, thought better of it. If this was a dream then he wanted to keep dreaming forever.

"Yes!" she squeeled in happiness and runs over and tackles the boy in a hug. She was just so excited she couldn't contain herself . She just kept squeezing the boy.

"Aiz...I...can't...breath..." Bell barely manages to get out

She let's him go. "Sorry." Then she has an epiphany

"I have to go, tell everybody!" She wanted every girl in Orario to know that Bell was officially hers and to leave him alone. She would have to start with all of Twilight Manor. She just ran around telling everyone she saw to mixed reactions. The girls were mostly happy except for Lefiya who just started pouting something about "that stupid insolent human" under her breath. Luckily for her, Aiz was too excited to even notice. The Amazon twins were of course elated to hear the news and gave Aiz a big hug. Tiona was jumping back and forth on her feet excitedly. The young men on the otherhand were generally bummed. They all knew they had little chance with the sword princess but for a guy to join the familia and to have her heart in a week was certainly humbling. Most of them outwardly atleast congratulated the girl till she got to Bete.

"You with that pathetic weakling? I thought you were better then to slum it with a guy like..."

slap* Aiz slaps the Wolf forcing his head to the side and all the way off his feet onto the ground.

"Slumming it would be dating you."

The Wolf does the only thing he knows to do when feeling emasculated and gets up to attack but he is quickly restrained by Tiona before he can do anything. He screams for her to let him go but to no avail. She is the second strongest in the familia only behind Gareth due to using Urga so much so struggle as he will he can't break free. The familia elite(Gareth, Finn and Riveria) hear what is going on and make their ways down the stairs to see what the commotion is.

Finn sighs then says "What are you two fighting about now?"

They assumed it was Tiona and Welf fighting. They often got into little spats and considering Tiona had the Wolf in a full nelson restraining him, it was a fair assumption.

"Captain, Tiona is actually preventing the fight. Aiz was telling everyone about her new relationship when Bete started being a jerk about it then Aiz slapped him."

"Relationship?" The stoic elf questioned.

"Yeah with Agronaut!" The younger twin gleefully adds.

"Aiz come with us."

Then the 4 of them head up to Finn's office. Aiz has entered full doll form, entirely expressionless this was the face she always wore for her executive duties.

"First we are all very happy for you Aiz but secondly there are some things you will have to realize about being an executive in the familia and dating a member at the same time. It isn't an easy thing to do."

"Okay."

"You have to stay objective and fair in all decisions you might make. You have to avoid even the appearance of favoritism. The good of the familia must always come first so, no more starting fights or causing trouble. Okay?"

"Yes."

They went over several more things but always just got normal Aiz very short answers. They of course were not surprised but wanted her to know the expectations anyways. She of course agreed to everything, she had to. She wouldn't give up Bell but, she had also been working hard for a long time in the familia and took her responsibilities very seriously. Although, she didn't really believe she could put the familia above Bell at all times. She knew if it came down to it, that she would side with Bell even, if it meant forsaking her entire familia. She just hoped it wouldn't come to something like that. After all, Bell is in the familia so, what's best for Bell should be what is best for the familia.

She has let her familia know about her and Bell but, that was only half her goal. She needed to let all of Orario know so, she would never have to hear "He's not your Bell" again. She knew the news would eventually travel through the city but the sooner the better she decided so, She went back to his room

"Let's go out Bell." She grabbed his hand and started pulling him along. Bell was ofcourse excited for this development. Although he didn't expect that date to be so soon so, he really wasnt ready but, Aiz didn't seem to care so, why should he, he reasoned.

As they left Bell felt all those angry jealous stares even more intensely then when he first walked in but, he didn't care. Aiz decided that the Hostess of Fertility would be the place with the most people this time of day. So, they walked through the city hand in hand but, this was when Aiz realized something. They had walked through the city like this before after his Goddess died and people didn't get the message. She would have to do more so, she clung to his arm as, they walked. Bell started to turn all kinds of shades of red which Aiz found adorable. It wasn't long before they arrived at their destination The Hostess of Fertility. Aiz figured since it was almost dinner time, there would be lots of people there and lots of people to see.

When they arrive they are greeted by Syr who leads them to a booth. Aiz thinks about how she has eaten across the booth alone with other members of her familia like Bete so, people wouldn't know they were together if she sat across from him so, she sits next to him in the booth and snuggles up next to him.

"Bell you haven't been coming to get your lunches lately" Syr said in a sad voice.

Bell felt a bit guilty and was about to apologize but then

"He doesn't need your lunches anymore." Aiz glares at her.

Syr takes their orders and heads back.

"That wasn't very nice Aiz."

"What do we not feed you enough? I will make sure you get plenty of food."

"It is not that. She is a friend and this was kind of our thing. I didn't even like them, they were terrible tasting."

"She is only giving you them because she likes you. You are with me now. It would be unfair to keep taking them." Aiz explains it that way but really it just made her jealous

When their food comes out Syr put a hand on Bell's shoulder.

"Does everything look good, hun?"

"Great!" Bell replies totally unaware of Syr's attempt at flirting.

"I am his girlfriend. " Aiz glares at Syr again before getting even closer to Bell

"Aw that's nice." Syr replies sarcastically.

This kind of thing happened throughout the entirety of Bell and Aiz's date. Syr would flirt, Bell would be blissfully unaware and Aiz's rage would continue building. In a normal circumstance even Bell would have noticed what Syr was up to but, he was just too focused on how amazing it was to be on a date with Aiz and have her so close. He couldn't even think of another girl at a time like this. He had noticed Aiz was upset and tried to ask about it but, Aiz simply said she was fine. After they were done eating Aiz and Bell went home. Aiz seemed a little extra quiet on the way back to Bell but, she was Aiz so, it wasn't that strange so he didn't mention it. She walks Bell to his room

"Thank you for the date Bell." She says cutely and then gives him a peck on the lips. "I have some business to take care of so, I have to go now."

Bell didn't hear anything after the kiss. He just had a big goofy smile. He just had his first kiss(he was conscious for) and from the girl he loved more then anything. This really was the perfect day was all he could think. He had never felt so happy in his entire life.

Meanwhile, Aiz was really happy to have kissed Bell and see that goofy smile on his face showing he clearly enjoyed it but, she had business to take care of and couldn't dwell on it. That girl knew Bell was hers and yet still flirted and disrespected her like that. It was unacceptable.

Aiz had been to the hostess alot of times and knew where the waitresses typically took their breaks outside so she waited just out of sight of anybody who would be coming out. Syr being the known slacker, it didn't take long before she was out there and alone. Aiz looked around to make sure nobody would see. She would need to make this attack quick to get away. The red light district was all the way on the other side of town. She would have to admit she would enjoy making this bitch suffer but, it was too risky to pack an unconscious body that far and, she doubted she could get her to come along on her own free will. Bell would probably be upset about her dying which was a negative but, Aiz was his girlfriend now so, Aiz decided she could probably find a way to comfort him.

She decided one clean cut to the neck and off with the head would be the best to kil Syr. She wouldn't have time to scream so, it wouldn't be till the next break someone would notice. Then she makes her move the attack goes exactly as planned. The head lies on the ground blood spurting out the neck like a fountain but then, a giant beam of light like Hestia's. Everybody around starts to turns towards it. Aiz calls tempest jumps on the nearest building and goes for an escape before anybody notices her.

"What?" Aiz confusedly mumbles to herself. "Syr...was...a...Goddess?"

Sorry for some of the cringe dialogue in the confessions. I really tried but, I suck at writing. I hope it wasnt too awful. I hope this will get us to 50 follows. :)
