[POV - Yuuki Rito]
[Yuuki Residence - Rito's Room - Next morning]
CLACK!
The sound of the blinds opening woke me from a strange dream where I was surfing on waves of condensed milk. Yawning, I rubbed my eyes and dragged myself to the window, still half-groggy.
"What a beautiful day to..."
The words died in my throat.
THUUUM!
My jaw dropped. Literally. Next to our house, where yesterday there was only a vacant lot with overgrown weeds, now stood a mansion worthy of an architecture magazine. But that wasn't what left me frozen like a pillar of salt.
In the window next to mine, a figure moved with the grace of a ballerina. Hair red as hellfire, skin white as porcelain and... and...
"By the gods!" I gasped, feeling my face heat up hotter than a pressure cooker.
Rias Gremory was there. Naked. As she came into the world. Without a single thread of clothing. And the worst - or best? - she saw me looking. Instead of covering herself or screaming, she just smiled. A smile that said "I know exactly what I'm doing" and continued going about her morning routine as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
BOING!
My heart did a triple backflip.
[Kitchen - Minutes later]
TAP TAP TAP...
The sound of cutlery against plates echoed like war drums in my head. I stirred my cereal like a zombie, the corn flakes slowly sinking into the milk like my thoughts into the image of that...
"Rito, are you okay?" Lala tilted her head, worried. "You barely ate anything!"
"Rito-kun seems feverish," Asia touched my forehead with her delicate hand. "You're all red..."
"I'm fine!" I answered too quickly. "Just... didn't sleep well, you know?"
SLURP!
Mikan drank her juice making noise on purpose, staring at me with those eyes sharp as scalpels. She knew. Damn it, she always knows!
"Interesting," she murmured, a mischievous little smile playing on her lips. "Didn't sleep well, huh? I bet you had very... eventful dreams."
"Mikan!" I protested, feeling my ears burn.
Lala hugged me around the neck, pressing her... attributes against my back.
"Rito can sleep with me today! I'll help with the nightmares!"
"They're not nightmares!" I tried to explain, but my voice came out strange.
Asia placed her hand on my arm, her green eyes full of genuine concern.
"If you need to talk about something..."
Ugh! Why are all the women in my life so... so...
Rias's face appeared in my mind again. That smile. Those curves. That...
CLANG!
I dropped the spoon, startling everyone.
"Let's go to school!" I stood up abruptly. "I don't want to be late!"
[Front door - Minutes later]
CREAK!
The door opened, and there they were. As if they had timed it perfectly. Rias and Akeno, standing on the sidewalk, wearing... Sainan uniforms?!
My eyebrow twisted involuntarily.
"Those damn... I mean, what a coincidence," I muttered under my breath.
"Good morning, Rito-san!" Rias waved, all smiling and innocent. As if she hadn't given me a private show less than an hour ago.
"Ara ara, what a lovely morning, isn't it?" Akeno covered her mouth with her hand, that malicious look that said "I know everything."
Lala, being Lala, jumped in front.
"Are you our new neighbors? How cool! Let's go to school together!"
Asia nodded shyly, always too kind for her own good.
I sighed. They came after me, that was obvious. They probably thought they could seduce me and take me to Kuoh as a trophy. Hmph! As if I, Yuuki Rito, would fall for that! Even if she doesn't have a single hair down there... ARGH! Focus, Rito!
"Sure, let's go together," I forced a smile. Better keep an eye on them.
[Sainan School - Classroom]
TAP TAP TAP...
The sound of the teacher's heels echoed as she wrote on the board.
"Class, we have two new transfer students today!"
Of course. OF COURSE they'd be in the same class as me. Rias entered first, that confident walk making half the boys drool. Akeno came right after, smiling sweetly while assessing every corner of the room like a predator.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Rias Gremory!"
"And I'm Akeno Himejima. We hope to get along with everyone!"
THUMP!
Several books fell to the floor. Teenage hormones were running wild.
I sat in the back, trying to make myself invisible. But I felt it. That presence. A powerful but contained aura. A silver-haired maid was nearby, watching everything.
Grayfia.
[School hallway - Break time]
I waited for the right moment. When Rias and Akeno were surrounded by curious students, I slipped into the empty hallway.
FWOOSH!
In the blink of an eye, I teleported behind Grayfia. She tensed, turning her head slowly with wide eyes.
"Good afternoon," I smiled gently, unable to avoid looking at... well, she had impressive attributes too.
TICK!
A vein throbbed on her forehead when she noticed where my gaze had stopped. But when our eyes finally met, I saw her face pale. It was as if she had seen the abyss itself looking back.
"R-Rito-sama," she quickly recomposed herself, making a formal bow. "I am Grayfia Lucifuge, head maid of the Gremory family."
"Pleasure to meet you," I kept my tone casual. "So, came to spy on the girls?"
She cleared her throat, clearly uncomfortable.
"We're... happy about a possible suitor for Rias's fiancé."
Oh. OH! So that was it. They came to recruit me for Rias's harem. But Grayfia seemed to be throwing her own mistress under the bus. Interesting.
"With your permission, Rito-sama," she made a quick gesture and disappeared in a magic circle.
I stood there, processing everything. My heart... it beat strongly for Lala. She was special. Unique. When she smiled, it was like the sun rose just for me. When she hugged me, I felt complete.
But...
Asia awakened in me a desire to protect. To care for. She was like a delicate flower I wanted to see bloom.
Haruna... ah, Haruna. She was always there. That silent love, that natural kindness. Sometimes I caught myself imagining what it would be like...
And now Rias. Beautiful, powerful, confident. She stirred something primitive in me. A desire I didn't even know existed.
"Shit," I murmured, leaning my head against the wall. "When did my life become a Mexican soap opera?"
RING!
The bell rang, pulling me from my daydreams. Time to go back to class and face those two seductive demons.
I just hope my heart - and other parts - can handle the pressure.
