Ch 3 - Shocks and Confidence
While Xenovia and Koneko were fur filling the requests everyone met up in the gym. Asia summoned Rosai and held in arm chest.
"That's Rosai? He's rather cute."
"Careful." Asia shouted.
*Zap* "Ahhhhhhh" You screamed and fell flat.
"Easy naughty boy you have to be nice to (FN) were only training." She said to the little dragon.
Issei cringed. He knew what that was like. Rias, and Gasper joined him on the stage.
"Okay let's begin. Try offensively to get to me to submit. Don't worry you won't hurt me." Said Akeno.
Strike her? Just great. Let's attack a pretty girl don't we. This sucks.
"Quit waiting and see what you got already." Yelled Rias.
"Okay. Aura's Storm." *Zing*
You held your hand up and put anger into your hand. Green lightning started to form into the gear. When throwing it it released a lightning strike. You aimed and hit ten feet away from Akeno.
"You missed." She mocked.
"Okay." *Zing* "Here!" You struck again.
Akeno dodged it by hovering airborne. You were in relief when she did.
"Not bad. Try this." She sent a shock wave to you.
You jumped high but it caught your back foot sending volts up your spine crashing you to the floor.
"Almost." Blushed Akeno. "Didn't feel good like it did for me apparently."
"Yup and I get the S&M treatment. Hey its a start." You mumbled.
"Get up." *Zap*
"Trying." You get to your knees.
*Zap* "Pick it up."
You tried the best you could and we're limping up. Rosai aimed a bolt at you and you dodged it by a hair. He tried once more and you caught it with Aura's Storm.
"Huh? What what if?" *Boom*
A sound of loud thunder went off as you countered Rosai's lightning at Akeno. It hit her square in the chest. The shock brought her back a few feet.
"Oh my God. I'm so sorry." You fell to your knees covering your facial reaction.
"I'm okay. You've gotten strong. I think we're good for today. We should rest up." Akeno blushed.
"Okay then. Time to say goodnight sweet boy." She summoned Rosai back.
"Now time for us to get home and wait for the other two. They should be done anytime now." Said Rias summoning everyone back to the house.
You went back to your room still feeling bad about what happened with Akeno. You sulk and hit the sack early.
You are awaken by a knock at the door.
"Who's there?" You asked groggily.
The door opened. "I see training is paying off." Said Akeno. "Did I wake you?"
"Ya but no big deal."
"I'll have you get back to that. Keep doing your thing. Everyone is proud. If you need me I'll be with Issei tonight. Goodnight." She exited.
Yup and Issei's charm or whatever strikes again. I'm guessing Rias, Asia, and Akeno are cuddling next to him and I'm here all alone. But she came to see so I'll take it. Probably as much as I can ask for. If the planets aline one day.
~~~~~
You wake up the next morning early. No one was awake at the time. You brew some tea and sat on the kitchen counter. You thought to yourself until Xenovia came down.
"How was sleep?" She asked.
"Just okay. You?"
"Not bad I suppose." She replied.
"Tea?"
"That'd be lovely to start the morning."
You pour her a cup. "So after classes what's on your agenda? Does Rias have something for us?"
"Not sure. We'll ask when her and the others are up. Their in Issei's room." She took a sip.
"Ya don't remind me." You turned away.
"Are you upset on the matter?" She asked.
"Guilty as charged. A tad jealous too. Of a few things actually."
"Really? Such as what?" She was concerned.
"Between the fallen angel that killed me, Issei's charm, and training I'm having my mind go crazy."
"I see."
"Hey Xenovia?"
"Yes?"
"How do you feel about him?"
"I like him. He brings calm and positivity to everyone."
You frowned. "And what do I do?"
"I'm not really sure." She said putting her cup down.
"I'm am new so I get it. I'll be taking off early. Tell the others I'll meet them at school. See you in class I guess."
"But (FN)"
*Slam*
It was too late you shut the door and were on your way.
"Who's here?" Asked Issei.
"(FN) just took off. He's not in the best of moods. His head isn't clear." Pouted Xenovia.
"Guess we'll have to find out in class." Said Asia trying to be positive.
-Time Skip-
It was after classes and as usual met in the club room. You were second to be there behind Gasper. Even he was rather worried. And by worried as in more than usual.
"Hey you okay? Everyone is asking about you." He said with a hint of fear.
"Don't sweat it man. I'll be alright. So what do you got going on today. Your in the box and the bag. What's up?"
"I'm supposed to train today. I don't know what we're doing. I'm scared." He closed the box.
"Relax Gaspy. We protect you. That's why we're here. This is family isn't it?"
"Really? You see me that way?" He opened the box and took the bag off.
"I know it wasn't long but it's like adopting a brother. I'd protect you with my life man. Trust."
"So (FN) what's your concerns anyway?" He asked.
"Training, women, you know that sort of thing." You turn from him with your arms crossed. You're leaning against the wall.
"Training can be scary. Can girls be too?"
"Well maybe when they get angry but their just confusing to me. I was never good at this anyways."
"Well I'm sure she's great. I just hope it isn't the girl I like." Gasper blushed.
"Wait you have a crush?" You gasped.
"I think so."
"Dude that's great. Can you tell me?"
"Ummm I don't know." He started to freak.
"Can I make a deal?"
He hugged your legs. "Please don't tell her." He cried.
"Hey Gasper?"
"Ya?"
"How about this. I say mine first and your next. If we tell anyone we tell the girl he likes directly. Deal?"
"Okay." He agreed.
"Akeno."
"Huh? You and her? Yellow and green thunder?"
"That a ship name or something?"
"Maybe."
"Work on that name for me. But yes she's sweet. I get lost in those magenta eyes Gasper. I never had a crush and thought I was never good enough for one. But I have one. Maybe some day. Who's yours?"
"Ummm...."
"Cmon little one a deals a deal."
"Koneko!"
"Pardon?"
"I want Koneko to see me as something else but I don't think I can do it?"
"Listen buddy I can do the best my can to help. You say the word. I'll do my very best."
"Thanks (FN)."
"Your welcome Gasper don't worry you can trust me."
The doors cracking open.
"I know I haven't been acting like a big brother type like I'm supposed to but I'll work on it."
"Damn straight you haven't." Said Rias.
"Ya dude you practically shut us out the whole day." Said Issei pissed off.
"Sorry. Been doing a lot of thinking. Gasper and I vented to each other. Brotherly bond sort of."
"Gasper this true?" Asked Rias.
"Ya he wants to help me." He replied nervously.
"Well you have training today. Will he help you there? It requires public people." Rias said firmly.
Gasper freaked and hid in his box.
"Yikes. Cmon Gaspy."
"Hey that's my nickname for him." Argued Koneko.
"My bad." You apologized.
"So Gasper I'm going to bring you into town. It will strengthen you." Order Rias.
"No I'm scared." He stopped time and into the other room.
"Hey Gasper!" you called out.
"What is it?" He asked behind the door.
"How about I go with you?"
He came back to the main room. "You mean it?"
"Rias please. Gasper I told you I'd protect you with my life. We can go together. It's something I need to work on as well."
"I had arrangements for you and Akeno." Suggested Rias.
Oh cmon. I have to choose now? My buddy that needs it or my crush? Man I'm starting to sweat. I hate to do this but I can't sell out.
"I think it would be better if we went together."
"Very well. Make it last a few hours." She smiled.
"Sure thing. Akeno we'll catch up later?"
"Maybe." She replied breaking your heart in half.
~~~~~
You and Gasper were talking a walk through the town.
"Hey (FN) thanks for choosing me over Akeno." Said Gasper nervously.
"No problem dude. Couldn't sell out to you. Besides I wanted to let you know something."
"What's it this time?" He questioned.
"Ask Issei I used to be the a quiet guy. It's cause I used to not be liked. Picked up and you name it. I grew up without my mom and my uncle mainly raised me. I was just frustrated. Being a Rook changed my life. It's almost like a dream still. Even before joining Issei helped me out. I owe Issei and Rias my life."
"So you used to get shy in public too?" He asked.
"Still do Gasper."
"I'm dreadfully nervous. I'm scared actually."
"I'm nerve wrecked myself. Tell you what I got an idea. We're close by one of my favorite places. How about it?"
"What is it?"
"Best ice cream shop in town."
"Yay."
You both sit down with a nice cup of ice cream and sit down together.
"Wow. This is good." Gasper happily ate.
"Hey how about we bring our dates here together?"
"You bet. But why did they want me to go around people?" He pondered.
"Gasper do you feel a little better?"
"A little I think."
"Confidence my friend."
He gasped. "Where's this going?"
"Confidence is a key. To battle, to happiness, heck even to love."
"So if I'm confident I can get these things?" He was shocked.
"Most likely. And hopefully that dream of ours come true." You giggle.
~~~~~
The two of you return home. Just in time for dinner Akeno prepared. You two have big smiles on your faces.
"It went well?" Asked Rias.
"Awesome. We have to go back." Cheered Gasper.
"Hey guy. Put on the brakes. Don't spoil it." You held him back.
"And where is this location?" Asked Xenovia.
"Gasper. If you say one word I'm attacking you with garlic."
"Shutting up!" He flinched.
"Good luck ladies. It's a guy thing. Just have to deal. And Gasper is getting less shy. He's getting why he's doing this. Mission accomplished."
"I guess that's okay right?" Said Asia.
"Fine. Grab a chair and a spoon. Akeno has miso we made together." Offered Rias.
"Cmon man you heard the lady. You earned it especially."
"Gaspy your improving?" Koneko leaned over asking him.
"(F/N) says so. He can relate too." He replied.
"This true?" Akeno blushed.
"Guilty as charged. Issei knows all about me being quiet and all. Their was a time I was afraid of people. For a few reasons. With time I overcame it. Wish it was faster too. I'd have more confidence. Heck might even...... second thought nevermind that."
"Nevermind what?" Angered Akeno.
"Doesn't matter. Either way I want to enjoy this great miso soup you and Rias made. It's the best I've ever had."
"Awwww thanks." Akeno blushed.
Almost the perfect woman.
"Who is?" Said Rias aloud. You forgot she can read thoughts perfectly as well as some of the others.
"Not saying." You tease.
"You two are going to drive me crazy." She complained.
"Wow. Issei am I taking your place for today in that category or are you on break. Thought you were supposed to make everyone go nuts."
"I guess." He sighed.
"Oh well then." Said Akeno.
When dinner was finally over you decided to go in that bath. You were scrubbing your body and Xenovia peeked in.
"Hello (FN)." She whispered.
"Ummmm Xenovia can I help you? Kinda busy here at the moment." You were dreadfully nervous.
"You've been chocked up since the night before or something. You and Gasper. Anything wrong?"
"Well........it's complicated. You see I kind of....... have strong feelings for a girl and want her to see a certain side of me. Gasper is always freaked out to a point but he also has a crush."
"He wants to be a lover as well?" She was stunned.
"Indeed. I think it would be cute as well."
"Rather cute. Who do you both care for?" She placed a hand on your shoulder.
"I can't tell. Gasper and I promised we would keep it secret. And if both of them feel the same way we would double date at a certain place. We went to it during training."
"Sounds rather romantic. Still new on subject but seems deep love invovled. Do you plan on having babies?"
"Whoa! Slow down." You jumped. "Maybe down the line yes. But I would want to be married first."
"So you want her to be your wife?"
"One thing a time. Good enough?"
"Sure thing. I'll be off. Knock on Issei's door when your done." She exited.
Wow. I totally didn't expect that. I mean I was hoping double date in the future. I thought of marriage and the concept. Kids doesn't matter son or daughter. I know I'm not ready but maybe one day that desire of mine can be real.
You get dressed into your night outfit. You knock and enter. Joining Issei is Rias, Asia, and Xenovia.
"Hey Xenovia your good to go."
"Thank you. I'll be back all." She walked out swiftly.
"So boy you feel better?" Asked Rias.
"Well Lady Rias. I'm feeling alright. Training with Gasper was nice. We bonded rather. I think he trusts me. So you, Asia, and Xenovia tonight?"
"And us." Cried Akeno with Koneko behind her.
"How you going to fit?" Asked Issei.
"Those two on your sides, Koneko at your feet, and I'll sleep on your stomach." She smiled.
"Issei you probably have the best cuddles don't you?"
"Why do you ask?" He replied.
"Can't lie a little jealous." Your turn to blush.
"Well five might be a tight squeeze. I can make the sacrifice. Hey Koneko can you check on Gasper?" Said Akeno with a flirty tone.
"Sure. I'll make sure he sleeps well." Said Koneko exiting.
"And I have you tonight again." Akeno had a devious grin on her face as your face turned red.
As you both lay down on your bed she takes off her shirt.
"Sorry have to sleep topless. You don't mind right?" She asked.
"Ya. Sure thing. By all means." You replied ever so nervously.
"Haha your a funny one. Goodnight."
"You too Akeno. Sweet dreams."
"I'll try for you."
~~~~~
Admin - I am in the midst of a training work schedule it's crazy. But I'm glad I got this up quicker than I thought.
(FN) forgot devils can read minds. Rookie mistake buddy they are so on to you. And Akeno is sleeping next to you and Gasper has Koneko the night as well. Does this look like something or is it just for the night?
As always stay tuned for next time, hope you enjoy and have an awesome day. Love ya all.
