Chapter 2

Twenty minutes later

Grayfia was frowning at what the boy had told her.

She really felt disappointed in Rias and the others.

Though she was also mentally grateful to Rosseweise and Ophis for taking care of him.

Ever since the incident at the hot springs, she had grown fond of the boy so she considered him her little brother.

Even if it took her three days to remember the talk with the chestnut while he washed her back, embarrassed to show him that vulnerable side of her when she was drunk.

Softening her gaze, she smiled slightly.

- I'll talk to Sirzechs about it, and regarding the project, tomorrow when you get home from school it will be done - she informed standing up.

The brown imitated her while drawing a small smile.

- Arigatto... Anee-ue - He thanked her sincerely.

Being caught off guard, the silver-haired girl couldn't hide her surprise at being called that way, before pulling herself together and smiling naturally.

Disappearing in a magical circle.

The boy sat back down, leaning back against the piece of furniture, not wanting to go up to the upper floors he decided to stay in that place until everything was ready.

Due to the lack of criminal activity concerning the supernatural, none of the girls used this training ground, so he could stay away from them so the comments about ʺthemʺ wouldn't affect him as much.

Looking at the small refrigerator in the place, he decided to prepare something for dinner.

Turning his gaze to the clock.

- 8 Pm, I guess they'll be here soon - He muttered, opening the appliance and taking out several ingredients for a sandwich.

After dinner, he simply plopped down on the furniture to rest, not before feeling discarded by those who inhabited his heart.

Minutes later he had already fallen asleep.

[Partner, I hope you don't get to ʺelloʺ]

He murmured with concern his inner resident as he noticed how the sleeping boy put his hand to his chest, while his face drew a bitter expression.

The next day

The boy slept soundly, before the alarm he had set began to sound, waking him up.

- Mmmm - He mumbled lazily before turning it off and then standing up.

This one kept his eyes closed, as he stretched a bit.

Slowly he made his way to the showers of the place, where he would take a bath without the risk of running into the girls.

With his body clean and more awake, he dressed in the uniform of the Kuoh Academy, then had a light breakfast before taking his things and closing his eyes.

After much practice he had been able to master magic circle transportation, so he set his sights on an alleyway near the Academy.

In a reddish glow, the boy made his presence known in a lonely alleyway, then headed for the exit, encountering a scene that struck his heart like never before.

In a small cafe, Rias and Akeno were chatting animatedly with a good-looking guy with blue hair and glasses, it should be said that it was not so bad, until a moment when the redhead and the other boy stared at each other, before closing the distance little by little.

Kiss

No doubt that image completely devastated the boy, the exit of the alley gave him a good view of the place, being that the cafe was a rather discreet place, so only he had the ʺhonorʺ of seeing that great moment.

What was worse was that the brunette had done the same as the redhead, kissing the boy who without any hesitation reciprocated the act.

It was like a kissing contest between them.

With a cracked heart he looked for another way out, not wanting to continue watching such a spectacle, but not before looking one last time as the brunette surrounded the young man by the neck.

[...]

Speechless.

The Dragon simply kept quiet, he did not expect this, and could only pray silently that it would not get worse.

But, it seemed that fate was not on his side at the moment.

At the other exit of the alley, she could see how a certain Loli was talking to a boy older than her.

With her developed senses she could hear a confession from the boy, receiving an affirmation from a blushing white-haired girl, sealing the new relationship.

Kiss

He felt disturbed.

Using a small spell, he changed his brown hair to a black color, arranging it back while several locks fell to the front, as well as changing his eyes to blue.

He changed his physical complexion to a more scrawny one, in addition to taking out a small bottle from his briefcase, spraying himself with its contents.

A little trick he had long ago thought of to escape Koneko's senses when it came to spying on girls.

She walked past the pair without even looking at them, continuing on her way to the Academy.

She could tell there were very few students, but she didn't think anything of it.

Entering through the huge doors, he crossed the campus, seeing the church trio sharing a cute moment, this being the boy's confession to a nervous Asia, under the gaze of the other apparent couples.

Holding hands meant something, didn't it?

He didn't want to see more, entering the building he headed to the bathrooms to drop his costume.

Once inside and back to being himself, he looked at himself in the mirror closely, seeing the dark circles under his eyes that denoted a lack of rest.

He closed his eyes, before opening them and looking at the time on his phone.

7: 20 Am.

It was quite early, he supposed that waking up early for the first time in his life had opened his eyes, in an extremely painful way.

He felt a pain in his chest that was nothing compared to the Curse of Samael.
