Kei-Kei Yuki: Hello! Okay, I know it's been a while, but there is not that many Highschool DXD GB stories I can draw inspiration from. So I had to take a break. Also, does anyone got any ideas for the next chapter as I got none.
A/N: Also I took a break reading the LN, so I got to find where I left off reading that. Also, please check out my story on Wattpad, The Girl Who Unknowingly Became Harem Queen!
I Have A Junior
When Richard first introduced them to Gasper, just like with Aster, Issei immediately thought 'he' was a 'she,' not a cute, shut-in, cross-dressing vampire! "Kyaaa~! He's adorable! Look at those feminine long eyelashes, that cute uke voice, and how perfect he looks in our school's girl uniform!" The others were a bit taken away by Issei's reaction towards meeting Gasper; the poor first-year was having his face currently smothered in Issei's blooming bosom. His entire body couldn't help but flush red.
"Don't worry, my cute kouhai, Issei-senpai is here and will definitely protect you. Kyaa, he's just so adorable! Can I take him home, President?" Issei turned her big brown pleading eyes towards Richard, acting as if she was asking for a pet and not an actual person. Upon seeing those adorable puppy-dog eyes, Richard wanted to do nothing more than to make Issei happy, even if that meant giving her Gasper. Luckily, Issei's attention was stolen when Gasper unconsciously awakened his ability, called Forbidden Balor View.
This allowed him to stop the time of anything in his field of view as the boy was no longer in Issei's embrace. Quivering amongst a wall of pillows that was away from Issei, the tip of his ears were tinted pink. Seeing this, Issei immediately began trying to coax Gasper back into her arms, so she could cuddle him again. Meanwhile, the rest of the members were sitting down in the Occult Research Club room, listening to Richard explain the reason for why Gasper was locked up and about his ability.
Before Richard and Akihiko left for the summit meeting, taking Yumi along with them, Richard had tasked them with the responsibility of training Gasper. Issei almost knocked Xenos flat on his face when she saw him chasing the poor boy around the forest, blurting out such things as... "If you don't run faster, someone could snatch you and kill you by crucifixion. Or even worse, throw you in a pool filled with nothing but holy water on you! Stop your whining, and face your fears like a real man!" Let's not forget that he had Durandal in his hand, which caused Gasper to become even more terrified.
"That idiot..." Issei muttered, trying to fight the instinct to run over and protect sweet Gasper-kun from that idiot ex-exorcist, Xenos.
"Someone should tell Xenos that he looks more like a real vampire hunter rather than training Gasper," spoke-up Kabu, while Aster couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for the poor first-year. Only when the poor boy cried out, Issei's restraint snapped and she aimed a flying kick at baka-Xenos's head.
"Stop torturing him, you idiot swordsman! Gasper-kun, are you alright?" After taking care of Xenos, Issei immediately ran over to Gasper, leaving Xenos on the ground.
"I'm so sorry that idiot swordsman scared you. Calm down, Issei-senpai is here for you," she softly reassured him, taking a kleenex from out of thin air to wipe away his tears. Gasper allowed Issei to wipe away his tears, feeling a part of him soften up to this nice senpai of his. Standing in the background, Aster couldn't help but smile as he watched Issei attend to Gasper.
"Issei-chan is so kind." In Aster's eyes, no other girl's kindness could ever measure up to Issei's. Staring at her, he couldn't help but see flowers blooming behind her as his heart sped up a beat.
"Tch, more like Gasper is the total uke-package and Issei-senpai's fujoshi instincts can't help but kick in," muttered Kabu, a red lollipop shoved in his mouth, as he watched Issei begin to fawn over Gasper once again.
"Yo, Issei!" Sona suddenly appeared, making her way over to Issei, when she paused and saw the other hugging some cute blonde girl.
"Wait a minute... Boy-obsessed Issei is hugging a girl?! Could it be... that she decided to switch teams?!" blurted out a shocked Sona, only to have things straightened out by Aster. When Xenos was finally back on his feet, the first thing that greeted him was the sight of Sona and Issei fawning and cuddling a pink flustered Gasper.
Despite their intention, their training with Gasper had somehow backfired and had no other choice but to inform Richard, who had returned. "I'm so sorry, President. I really didn't mean to take you away from your meeting," Issei immediately apologized, only to feel the warmth of his hand patting her head as he smiled at her.
"Don't worry about it and it's a good thing that you did call me back. There is a reason why Gasper is like this and it is all due to his past." Richard set out explaining how Gasper's father and the rest of vampire kind frowned down upon him, due to his human blood, while humans saw him as nothing more than a monster. A boy with human and vampire blood, yet neither side wanted him and both treated him unfairly. It made Issei's blood boil as she stormed inside his room.
"Gasper-kun! I know you're scared and terrified of how the world has treated you in the past. Of how you wish to not cause harm to those you love. You're gifted with a rare and overwhelming ability, so trust me when I say, I understand that feeling." Making her way inside, Issei stood close by the coffin Gasper laid inside.
"Inside of me is one of the strongest dragons in the world, and honestly it's scary. Now, I have some self-proclaimed rival that I didn't ask for. There are now so many times that I can't help but doubt myself, and... when I use this power, there is a part of me that feels as if I'm turning into something else. I'm scared, but... I want to fight at the President's side. I want to protect him. You see, when a person has something they wish to protect, they can continue marching forward no matter what obstacle may stand in their way."
"But what if you... what if you lose something precious because of that power?" From inside the coffin, Gasper spoke, clutching the cute black bunny tighter to his chest. Taking to heart each word Issei had said, in a way, both of them were similar and that made Gasper want to reach out to her.
"Rather than worrying about that, I'll concentrate on what's most important to me. I want to stand equally at the President's side. I want to protect my friends, that's all I need to worry about. At the moment, I'm still weak, but as I keep telling myself these two things, I won't worry about that. You shouldn't either, Gasper-kun. You now have friends who without a doubt will lend you their support, especially me. I know you fear your ability, but even you have something that you wish to protect, right?" The lid of the coffin came off; sitting up was a teary-eyed Gasper.
"I... I want to protect Richard-senpai! I... I want to protect my friends!" confessed Gasper, tears running down his cute pink cheeks. Issei smiled softly at the crying boy in front of her; stretching out her arms, she hugged him to her chest, softly patting his head.
"Good boy," she reassured him as Gasper continued to cry. It was at this moment that these two created a bond that was forged from their insecurities and fear, feelings that were only shared between the two of them as Issei earned herself a large spot in Gasper's heart.
