My Princess-MyHero

"You want to know how Issei was in the past?" repeated Ivan, sitting in the living room at the Hyoudou Residence. Today only the boys were left at home, while Issei was spending some girl time with Yumi and Sona. The one who had asked the question was Richard, who was backed up by the others who were just as curious.

"Hmm, Issei was vastly different back then compared to how she is now. I remember her being very shy." Ivan smiled fondly as his thoughts traveled back to the past, remembering that the first time they met was at the park that his mom used to always take him to.

Wandering the park, a little boy, of the age between eight and nine, searched for a friend to play with him. The boy had very feminine features with chestnut colored hair and large violet eyes. His eyes spotted a pigtailed little girl, wearing a cute pink dress, playing all by her lonesome in the sandbox.

Smiling, he made his way over to her. "Do you mind if I play with you?" he kindly asked, watching how she panicked at his presence, eyes shyly staring at the ground, gathering the cute red-dragon plushie that was sitting by her side to her chest. "You don't have to be afraid of me. I won't hurt you," he honestly told her.

Brown eyes shyly peeked at the boy in front of her and after a while, she opened her mouth to speak. "I-I.. I don't mind," she replied in a low shy voice that was barely even noticeable, but nevertheless, Ivan had heard her.

"Sweet! So what are you making anyway?" He plopped down and took a seat next to her.

"A p-princess castle," she shyly answered him.

"Cool, but why a princess castle?" He started up a conversation with the shy girl, hoping to become friends with her.

"So that my prince can rescue me from it. My prince can only find me if I'm in a castle," she excitedly said to him; her shyness slowly began to disappear, now wearing a smile on her face.

"Oh, then that makes you a princess!" exclaimed Ivan, only to see the smile on her face disappear and be replaced with a sad one.

"B-But earlier some m-mean boys said I would make an ugly princess. If I'm ugly, then I can't be a princess. D-Does that mean I will never find my prince?" The young boy watched as tears filled those big brown eyes and slowly began to roll down her chubby cheeks.

"You will!" Ivan instantly grabbed the girl's hands. "Don't listen to those guys! You will definitely find your prince and if he doesn't find you then... I will be your prince!" he declared, causing the girl's eyes to widen.

"You will be my prince?" She sounded shocked at him saying such words to her. Usually, the young girl was always teased by boys when she mentioned finding her prince.

"Yes! 'Cause... 'Cause I think you're very cute!" This declaration made both children blush when the adorable brunette giggled.

"I'm very lucky to have such a kind prince." At the sight of her smile, Ivan couldn't help but smile as well and blushed even harder. Since that day, the two instantly became friends and were never seen apart from each other. There were times where they used to wander off in the forest, imagining that they were going on an adventure. Ivan was the mighty brave and strong hero and Issei was the cute princess who he rescued and asked to tag along in his adventure of defeating the evil demon king.

One thing Ivan always noticed about Issei was that she was sweet, kind, and once she was comfortable enough around someone, could easily open herself up to them. Another thing was that she was never seen without her red dragon plushie that he learned was a gift from her grandparents. "Say, what exactly is its name?" Ivan asked one day when Issei was over at his house.

"Draco!" Issei happily answered him.

"Cool~! Draco is a very cool and manly name!"

"...Ivan-kun, Draco is a girl."

"... Draco is a very cute and sweet name," Ivan quickly corrected himself. When it was time for Ivan to move, he remembered holding back tears as he stood in front of a crying Issei. He didn't want to see her cry, so he quickly presented her his goodbye present.

"This is for you so you can always remember me. So don't cry. I'll make sure to come back to you someday, because... because I'm Issei's prince, and princes always return to marry their princess!" he declared to her, unaware of how both his mother and Issei's were recording his whole goodbye confession.

"R-Really...?" Issei gently took the white bunny with a silk pink ribbon tied around its neck and hugged it to her chest.

Ivan eagerly nodded his head. "I'll come back and when I do I'll marry you!" proclaimed young Ivan. It was this part of the story when he was rudely interrupted by the boys who he was telling the story to.

"You promised to marry her!" exclaimed all the guys; some were glaring at the handsome and grinning chestnut-haired teen who sat on the couch.

"Yep!" Ivan sheepishly scratched the back of his head, remembering his promise as if it was yesterday. Hearing this, Xenos was reminded of something from when he was still Ivan's partner.

"Wait, so the girl whose picture you always used to stare at... Was it by any chance Issei?" Xenos asked his ex-partner.

"Yep~! She was really cute back then!" Taking out his wallet, Ivan pulled out the old photo that he kept hidden and showed it to the others. In the picture, a young Issei, between the ages of eight or nine, was smiling shyly at the camera, hugging her stuff dragon to her chest.

'She's so cute!' exclaimed all the boys, acting overly dramatic at the cuteness of little shy Issei. "So at one point in life, Issei-senpai was pure," muttered a red-cheeked Kabu as if the thought of it was unimaginable to even picture.

Bonus:

A young Ivan remembered witnessing both of his parents kissing and later asking what the meaning was behind two people kissing, only to have his mother answer him, saying, "A kiss is something shared between two people who love each other very much. Kissing should only be done with those you love." She then took him to the park, so he could play with Issei.

It was few days later when Issei's parents allowed her to spend the night over at his house. It was in the middle of the night and Issei was fast asleep next to him; while staring at her, he remembered the words his mother said to him. 'Hmm, I love Issei. So it should be okay if I kiss her, right?' Ivan asked himself and looked towards Issei. Summoning all his courage, he leaned over and planted his lips on top of Issei's, before quickly returning back to his futon.

'I kissed Issei!' excitedly thought Ivan, cheeks flushed, heart pounding. Wearing a large grin, he peacefully drifted off to sleep, feeling proud of himself.
