Welcome to my second attempt at a story that'll pull on your heartstrings.

Here we go!

Oh yeah, Highschool DxD does not belong to me.

All right here we go.

Right, one more thing. You have the Alex Mercer getup.

We good? Let's go! For real this time.

Your hood was up as you walked through the rain on the way to your destination you thought about what happened.

[Flashback]

You were just having a casual stroll down the hall at the end of the day when you looked over to see the perverted trio looking through a hole in the girl's locker room wall. You closed your eyes and shook your head before colliding with someone, knocking them over. You opened your eyes and saw a girl with blood red hair on her ass.

????: I'm sorry I didn't see you there.

(Y/N): No it's not your fault I should've been paying attention.

You extended your hand to her and she took it. After helping her back up and you got a good look at her. She was beautiful and you found yourself loosing yourself in her icy blue eyes.

????: Hello? Are you okay?

(Y/N): Wha? Oh, yeah I'm fine. Um, I'm (Y/N) who are you?

????: I am Rias Gremory, president of the Occult Research Club.

(Y/N): Okay. I guess I'll see you later Rias.

Rias: I hope to see you again too.

She gave you a cute smile before the both of you walked away.

[In the present]

You smiled a little remembering how the two of you met, and how happy you were.

[Another flashback]

You were on the phone with your best friend Adrian and wrapping up the conversation.

(Y/N): For the third time Adrian, my answer is no.

Adrian: All right, just remember my offer is still on the table.

(Y/N): Thanks for thinking about me.

You hung up and went on your way, running into Rias again.

Rias: Hello again (Y/N), what were the odds of us meeting here?

(Y/N): Pretty high, this is the school we go to on a daily basis.

Rias: Oh, right.

(Y/N): Hey, maybe we could hang out tonight. (jokingly) I'll make dinner.

Rias: (chuckles) Sure, I'll take you up on that offer.

(Y/N): See you tonight.

As she walked away you immediately shat a metaphorical brick.

(Y/N): Fuck, why'd I have to open my big mouth? I guess I need to learn how to cook really fast.

You went through a 30 minute cooking lesson and somehow was able to make a foie gras with a nice Chianti, when you heard the doorbell ring. You, still in your apron answered the door to see Rias in her school uniform.

(Y/N): Why are you still wearing that?

Rias: Why do you care Mr. Apron.

(Y/N): All I had time to prepare was dinner.

Rias: Really. Must be really good if it took you two hours.

You walked with her to the table and lit the candle in the center.

(Y/N): Bon Appetit.

The two of you ate the food, she enjoyed it, you however did not care for the meal. You figured it was an acquired taste.

Rias: What a delicious meal.

(Y/N): I guess it wasn't bad for my first time cooking.

Rias: Your what?

(Y/N): I was joking earlier, didn't expect you to take me up on the offer. So I took a half hour lesson and made this in the remaining hour and a half.

Rias: Impressive, this wasn't my original intention but would you like to join the ORC?

(Y/N): I'll need to sleep on that, but you'll have your answer tomorrow. I will walk you home though.

Rias: I'd enjoy that. Please do.

You took the apron off and walked home with her. And she was holding your hand the whole time. When you were finally at her house she smiled and looked at you.

Rias: Thank you (Y/N), most people would've wanted me to stay at their house.

(Y/N): Two teens alone in a house isn't really a good start to a story. Doesn't help that I don't live with my parents anymore.

Rias: When'd you move?

(Y/N): After they divorced. She cheated on him with some pervert and the two had a huge fight. I haven't spoken to either in two years.

Rias: Oh, I'm so sorry.

You smiled weakly at her.

(Y/N): It's fine, you didn't know I lived alone, nor that I was hopelessly lonely.

Rias: If you want I can help you with that.

You were about to ask her what she meant when she cupped your face and gave you a kiss straight on the lips, you were shocked for a moment before you wrapped your arms around her waist and melted into the kiss. Soon the annoying need for oxygen got in the way and you separated.

(Y/N): I'll join your club if it means I can get more of that.

Rias: You have my word.

You smiled and let go of her before beginning on your journey back home. Unfortunately you were dragged into an alley and promptly stabbed in the stomach by an attacker you couldn't see in the dark. They took whatever they used out and walked away, leaving you to bleed to death. You managed to get back up and stagger to a hospital before collapsing.

[Back to present]

You frowned as your mind went over that memory.

(Y/N): Everything went downhill from there.

[Final flashback]

After being in the hospital for an entire month recovering from a wound the doctor said "was physically impossible to have been made by a normal human fist." You were back home and getting ready for school that day.

(Y/N): It'll be nice to see Rias again. Hope nothing happened to her.

You were happy for most of the day until you were about to go to the clubhouse and saw her getting lovey dovey with that pervert Issei. You could feel your heart shatter as they kissed. You skipped the planned visit and made a phone call outside the school.

Adrian: Hey (Y/N), what's up?

(Y/N): Adrian, is that offer still on the table?

Adrian: Sure, why? You calling to accept?

(Y/N): Yes. When can I get there?

Adrian: I'll get a transport sent tomorrow.

(Y/N): Got it. See you tomorrow First Sergent Shepard.

You hung up and sulked home to pack your bags.

[Back to present]

You ended your walk in an empty cement lot far from the city with your bag over your shoulder and the burner phone you've been using all this time in hand. You dialed the number Adrian gave you and after confirming you heard a helicopter flying towards you. You dropped the phone on the ground and stomped it to pieces before boarding and sitting next to Adrian.

Adrian: (yelling) I was worried you wouldn't show up.

(Y/N): You should know I always keep promises when I can.

He took your bag and you sat next to him.

Adrian: Welcome to the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit Private. Chocolate bar?

(Y/N): No, I'm good.

You looked over the city as the chopper ascended and flew back to the base you'd be calling home from now on.

End.

So. I shat this out in a day and am kinda proud of it. What do you all want me to do with it?

nothing?

or something?

Also I'm going back to school in 3 days so you might see an increase in the production rate of my stories while I'm on my meds. This is the man plagued by an indescribable loneliness saying good day/night/whatever time you're reading this.
