Chapter 11: Don't Threaten Me With Goodtime
(Y/N)'s POV
"Yo! What's up, you guys?" Issei called as we both entered the clubroom. There was no one here but we could hear the shower going so someone had to be around.
"Issei, Master~" Raynare greeted as she waved at us. "The others are not here right now."
"I guess we'll just have to sit and wait," I shrugged as I went to grab a seat on the sofa.
I'm not quite sure Issei was paying attention though, he was more focused on the bra hung up on a line in the middle of the room.
"Whoa! Dude, this is totally a bra!" he exclaimed in happiness as he took the garment down from the line. Next to the bra was some panties and a... nun outfit.
"Bro, if you value your life... Put. The bra. Down," I told him, more than a little hostility creeping into my voice.
"Huh?" he said, looking confused. "What's the big deal, you wanna touch it?"
"Don't label me as your kind," I said. I could hear Asia humming in the shower now, but that wasn't what I was focused on. Koneko was right behind Issei. He found this out when he was treated with a rather painful blow to the back of the head.
"Did you see anything you like... you big pervert?" Koneko asked him, disgust evident in her near emotionless voice.
"Th-This isn't what it looks like!" Issei tried to deny. I actually laughed at that one.
"Issei," I said. "You should never say that. The fact that you need to say that just proves that it is, in fact, what it looks like."
Asia chose this moment to poke her head out from behind the shower curtain. "Hey," she said, "i-is that my bra?" She was blushing furiously and looking a little worried.
"I think he's gonna put it on... and wear it around," Koneko told her. I was struggling to hold in my laughter by now.
"Morning, Asia," I greeted her between stifled chuckles.
"I-It's not like that!" Issei denied, cutting off any return greeting she may have made. "I was just walking by and it got caught on my face! Right, (Y/N)?"
"Don't bring me into your mess, Issei." I glared at him. I was already having trouble controlling my blush at the thought of Asia showering, did he really need to break my concentration like that?
He gawped at me before looking between the two girls in a panic. I sighed and decided to at least try and bail him out.
"Just ignore him girls, he's being an idiot." I never said I wouldn't at least insult him for doing this when he knew other people would be coming in. "Issei, give Asia the damn bra." I got up and tapped him on the shoulder before whispering: "If you do anything like this with Asia's underwear again, your nutsack will be in four separate corners of the Earth. Alright?" I then went back to the sofa and sat down again. Issei did as he was told and threw Asia the bra.
"That's so mean of you, master." Raynare commented as she sat beside me. "But I like it if you do it to me though~"
I sweat dropped at her. I'm scared of her new masochistic personality after our mind torture back at the church. I'm start regretting my decision to do that...
"Hey, I already told you." Bill, in his human form sat down on his own couch. "Being a Dream Demon has it consequences."
"And its involve turning a sadistic killer into a masochistic slave? Never knew that..," I deadpan at the top hat wearing demon.
"...That I don't know..."
"So, how long are you going to be staying here, Asia?" I asked her.
"Not for very much longer," she said. "Rias said she'd find me another place to stay before she went to school."
"That's good, I guess," I said. It was around this point that Koneko took her usual seat, also known as my lap, and we all turned away so that Asia could get changed. She did so, but not before getting a bit teary-eyed at the sight of Koneko on my lap.
Just another day in the office.
[Timeskip]
"Early morning training?" Issei asked Rias, who had just suggested that Issei and I partake in training early in the morning.
The clubroom was pretty full now. There was the usual crowd: Koneko, Kiba, Akeno, Asia (who for some reason insisted on wearing her nun uniform), Raynare. But there were also two new faces: the two Fallen Angel that I asked Rias to spare. Turns out their names were: Kalawarner
and Mittelt.
Both of them currently in my Peerage being my Pawns. 2 pawn per each girl. That mean, I have four pieces more to go. Raynare is my faithful Knight. I'm saving my Queen piece for the right one...I hope.
Issei was still a little wary of Raynare, the whole 'she killed him' thing can do that to a guy, but he gladly accepted the company of the other two. Oh well, I knew he'd warm up to her eventually.
"Yes," Rias confirmed. "The fight with the Fallen Angels made one thing clear: we need to get you up to your pique condition as soon as we possibly can."
"Oh, great," Issei said, sounding unsure. "You'll both be undergoing different training," she told us. "Due to your low Demonic Power, Issei, you need to be able to fight physically, that'll take a lot of exercise to get done."
"I get with the Issei part but why me?" I questioned her. "I'm already powerful enough as it is."
"Bill told us that you have not fully control your Demonic Power." She answered.
"What, how?!"
"U-Um..." Raynare fidgeted her index finger, earning her a solid glare from yours truly. She jumped in fear before blushing madly. "M-Master, I'm sorry~!" Shit, I made her arouse.
"I'll have Akeno train you to use it more effectively. Me and Akeno will pick you both up in the morning, five sound good?" Rias asked both of us.
"No, that sounds nuts," Issei told her. "Uh, I mean, yeah! That sounds fine!"
"No problem," I agreed, a little more determined. I didn't mind getting up early. Time with Akeno was well-worth that.
"Well, we'll be off to pass out flyers," Issei announced as he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room with him.
"Even though I'm a King, I'm still doing this shitty job as mailboy." I muttered under my breath.
"Perfect," Rias said. "I'll see you soon."
Third Person POV
"So, Asia," Rias said when they were gone.
"Um, yeah," Asia looked at her, nervousness in her expression.
"Let's have a chat about the sleeping arrangements." Rias smiled at the look on Asia's face before they went over it.
The Hyoudou twins were in for quite a surprise.

(Y/N)'s POV
"Wake up...Yesterday you say tomorrow...SO JUST DO IT!" Shia LeBeouf's voice came on my new alarm clock. "Don't let dream be dream, DO IT!" I groaned and pressed the button to shut the damn thing off.
"Dammit, Shia...Why even I buy this clock?" I sighed, looking at the clock. "It's 4:30. They'll be here any second. Better get ready then."
And I was right. It didn't take long for Rias and Akeno to turn up, Issei, being a Sleepy Beauty as he is, was late. I took an energy drink out from the fridge and chug it all up before grabbing a piece of bread. Before the training...
Akeno took me to an area of the park underneath a large tree, so that nobody would question what we were doing. Get that 'dirty thought' out of you.
"All right," Akeno said once we'd gotten comfortable. "Since you already know how the basics of how to use Demonic Power, I won't have to go into great detail. Today, you'll be learning how to manipulate the elements once you have control of them."
"Like I said, I can handle myself." I said. Feeling that this thing actually pointless. "I already have Apportation, Clairvoyance and Pyrokinesis. What do I need more?"
"You only can control your fire power. How about other elements?"
I was about to speak before thinking about it for a minute. I looked at Bill who was chilling on the bench near us. "Bill, is that true?"
"I love to burn everything." Bill simply replied nonchalantly. "Turn people into statue is also my forte. Being an all-powerful being I am, I think those other elements are pointless. But still, you sucks controlling your power. Also, your fullest potential is when you're angry...Like, can you even levitate anything while being calm? I think not."
"Fuck you!" I cursed out loud. I then sigh in defeat before looking at the black haired girl. "Proceed."
She produced a bottle of water. "Okay, sweetheart. You already know how to freeze water and create sharp objects out of it, but the real trick is manipulating it to what you want. Making it sharp is pretty basic, but you can also do this." She waved her hand in front of the bottle and the water lifted out of the bottle and froze. The only thing was, it was still flowing around in the air like water. It was making some sort of shape, molding into something.
That something turned out to be a rather detailed dominatrix suit made of ice. It was tiny, but the fact that she made it spoke volumes.
"Well, you're certainly... creative," I complimented her....slightly weirded out by the thing she just created.
"Thank you," she said. "What you need to do, is you need to see it as a clay of sorts. Look at it when it's frozen, but think of it as flowing, bending to your will. Picture it and manipulate it to create whatever you want."
"Okay," I said. She unfroze it and put the water back in the bottle, gesturing for me to try.
I took a deep breath and raised my hand towards the bottle. The water lifted out, just as it had for Akeno, and froze like I wanted it to. But then it just sort of stayed there. I began to concentrate harder, it began vibrating as if trying to do something when it couldn't move. Then it began to flow, not smoothly like Akeno's had, this was more like dust in the air than water, but it was still flowing around itself.
"Good," she praised. "Now, make what you want with it. Create something you're familiar with."
"Create me, your main mentor!" Bill grinned.
Something I was familiar with...? While I wasn't really all that familiar with the thing I chose, I still got a good look at it when it was in use. The flowing ice began to solidify into a definite shape. It was the shape of a gauntlet that had several spiked points and a circle in the center that represented a gem.
"You disappoint me, mongrels." He sneered, as if he was a snobbish king from Mesopotamia.
"Your brother's Boosted Gear?" Akeno asked. "Not bad for a beginner. Then again, I should have expected it from you, cutie."
I blushed heavily from her praise. "Th-Thanks, Akeno," I was trying my best not to let her see my blushing face.
"Ah, no need to get embarrassed, (N/N)," she teased. W-Wait! Did she just call me...?
"You called me (N/N)?" I sat there, a tad shocked.
"Why shouldn't I use your pet name," she asked. "You're far too adorable when you're embarrassed."
"O-Okay," I said. We went on for a while more, practising with the manipulation of the ice. By the end of it I'd improved by quite a bit. Akeno even said that with my impressive use of Demonic Power it wouldn't be too long before I could just create water by condensing the air around me. That would be so cool!
"I see you're making good progress," Rias said as she approached us with Issei in tow.
"(N/N) has quite the talent for this," Akeno praised me to Rias.
"Obviously, I am." I bragged a bit, still have that blush on my face.
"That's good," Rias smiled. "But we'd better get going, she'll be here in a moment." As I wondered who Rias meant by 'she' Issei and I fell behind Rias and Akeno and had our own conversation. We kept it hushed, though.
"She's calling you (N/N) too?!" Issei asked me in disbelief.
"If it's a shock to you, just think about how I feel," I said. "Question: how did either of us ever get into this position? Akeno keeps calling me cute, Asia seems to hate being away from me, Koneko keeps sitting on my lap and don't get me started on Raynare! Then there's you. Rias is definitely into you, I don't care what she says."
"I don't know," Issei admitted. "But I like it."
"I have mixed emotions."
"Oh don't be like that, kid." Bill tapped my back with his left hand in his pocket. "Soon you realize that having multiple girlfriend wasn't so bad."
"I don't know how to feel about that, Bill." I looked at him in confusion plastered on my face.
The walk ended in the middle of the park, by a bench. We ended up just standing around for a bit before I finally decided to ask what we were doing.
"So," I began, "who are we waiting for?" Before they could answer it seemed the world itself wanted to answer me.
"Hey, you guys!" called the familiar voice of Asia. I turned to see her coming towards us in a hurry with a basked hanging from one arm. "I'm so sorry I'm late! I won't let it happen again-!" That last bit was ended with a small yelp as she fell over. "Ooh, I'm no good at running and talking at the same time," she sighed.
"Then why you do that in the first place?" I deadpanned at her. Even though she's cute but she's too clumsy.
She'd brought coffee with her, that's what was in the basket, and poured us some in some small cups she'd brought. She was pouring Issei's when he asked the obvious question.
"Thanks, but what are you doing here?" I was wondering the same thing.
"Oh, Rias asked me if I could come," she answered him. Issei and I looked at our master with questioning looks, wondering why she'd done that.
"Is that true?" Issei asked her. "Why would you do that?" He got no response. Rias was just glaring off to the side as if something over there had done something to her. "Rias?"
She snapped back to reality and looked at us. "I'm sorry?" she asked.
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?" Issei asked in a concerned voice.
"Yeah, you looked like someone over there had killed your dog," I added in. Judging from the look on Akeno's face I assumed she knew what was going on. The usual happiness wasn't entirely there.
"Now that everybody's here, we should probably go," Rias ignored the question.
"Go where?" I asked.
She smiled at us. "We're going to your house, of course," she answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
[Timeskip]
"Uh, whose boxes are these?" Issei asked a rather valid question. There were piles of boxes waiting outside our house when we got home. It looked like someone was planning on moving in.
"Yeah... that's all my stuff," Asia said.
"Your stuff?" I asked. "You're moving in here?"
"Mm-hm," she nodded. "Apparently I had more stuff than I thought I did. But it's very sweet of you to let me stay."
"Let her stay?" Issei looked at Rias, assuming quite correctly that this was her doing.
"When I asked her where she wanted to live, the first thing she said was '(N/N)'s house'," Rias explained, directly quoting Asia. I was quite flattered.
We went inside to talk to our parents about it. Asia, Rias, Issei, Akeno and I were sat on one sofa while mum and dad sat on another.
"Sorry, what was your name again? Was it Asia?" dad asked, pronouncing her name like the continent we lived on rather than her name.
"Close, its Asia," she corrected him on the pronunciation.
"Right, Asia," dad said, still getting it wrong. "Surely there's a better long-term living situation than moving in with us."
"The thing is," Asia told him. "I owe your son, and I need to pay him back."
"Owe him?" dad asked, a little worried that she meant Issei and not me.
"Yeah," she nodded. "I came to this town all by myself, and I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for (N/N)." My parents blew a sigh of relief at the mention of my name. "He took care of me and now, if it's all right, I'd like to take care of him."
"You don't owe me anything, Asia," I told her. And she didn't. I did what I did because she was my friend, she didn't owe me a damn thing.
"But if it puts you out in any way then I can go find somewhere else," Asia told them.
"Oh, dear," mum said. "We're not saying you can't stay here, and lord knows we have the room, but while (Y/N) is nice enough, Issei is..."
"Issei is an abnormally horny child," dad cut in. "He's a pervert and he's not to be trusted!"
"Well put," mum agreed with him. I was close to bursting out laughing again. If only they knew what I was like underneath.
"Come on, dad!" Issei exclaimed. "How could you say that about your own son?"
"Quite easily, it seems," I told him, getting a glare in response. I just gave him the peace sign and grinned. Akeno, who was sat beside me, giggled at the display we were putting on.
"In addition to room and board, there's something else she can get out of living here with you," Rias told them. "She can learn to be a good wife."
""""She can what!?"""" me, Issei, and our parents screamed. Mum and dad burst into tears of happiness at the idea.
"I'm going to be an uncle?!" Bill smiled before cry in happiness. "I'm so proud of you kid!"
'We not even married yet, Dorito!' I mentally shouted.
"Finally, one of our boys looks like he might give us some grandchildren!" dad cried, his joy taking over any rational thought.
"Dad!" I yelled in shock.
"Maybe this'll finally inspire Issei to follow after his brother and stop obsessing over pornography!" mum cried, as overjoyed as dad was.
"Mum!" Issei shouted at her. "You're killing me!"
"I'm sure you both know this," Asia said to them. "But I wanted you to know that your son is a great guy." Mum and dad smiled upon hearing more proof of Asia's fondness of me.
"Well, isn't she cute as a button?" mum asked.
"Sure is," dad agreed. "Miss Rias, we'd love to take in Asia and let her live with the less perverted of our sons. We can only hope that this rubs off on his brother."
"Looks like the competition is getting ahead," Akeno said with her usual smile. Then she started hugging onto my arm like I was going to disappear any second. I wasn't complaining.
Issei looked insulted beyond belief as what dad had said whereas Rias just smiled. "Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. and Mrs. Hyoudou," she thanked them. She turned to us. "I guess that settles it."
"Yeah, but just because we're talking about marriage doesn't mean it's actually gonna happen, right?" I asked. "'Cause I am way too young for that."
At the mention of it being too early for marriage Rias' face took on a slightly depressed expression. One which apparently both me and Issei noticed. "If you're lucky," she said simply.
"Are you okay?" Issei asked her, concern lacing his voice.
She never answered him.
