The trip was brief—my main intention was to drop her off and check on Asia and Sona, who I had \"de-virgined\" the other day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt responsible for them now, more than ever, and wanted to make sure they were okay. However, it seemed that fate had other plans for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as we stepped through the portal, Rias stood directly in front of us, her arms crossed and a strange expression on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was tension in the air, the kind you can feel but not see. Her eyes flicked from me to Akeno, then back to me, and I could sense that something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias' eyes locked onto Akeno's, and for a moment, I could swear they were having an entire conversation without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something between them—some kind of silent exchange, and I didn't need to be a mind reader to understand that I was somehow involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akeno leaned toward me, murmuring softly, \"I'll leave her to you,\" before planting a light kiss on my cheek. Then, before I could respond, she vanished with a graceful flick of her hair, leaving me standing alone with Rias.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my attention to her, trying to gauge her mood. Rias' face was composed, but her usual bright energy felt muted. I raised an eyebrow, leaning casually against the nearest wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Rias,\" I said, my voice light and teasing. \"You okay? You look like you've got something on your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crossed her arms tighter, her gaze narrowing slightly. \"You didn't invite me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked, surprised by her bluntness. \"Invite you to what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias' cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson, her frustration bubbling beneath the surface. \"You know what I mean, Alex. You've been... busy with Akeno, Sona, and Asia. But not me.\" Her voice dropped, her words quiet but sharp. \"You didn't even ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see where this was going. It wasn't just about being left out—it was about something deeper, something that touched her pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias was competitive, strong, and confident, but right now, she was feeling overlooked. She was still a virgin, and despite the close bond we shared, I had never crossed that line with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow smirk crept onto my face. \"Oh, I see how it is. The great Rias Gremory is feeling... left out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened, and she huffed, her face growing even redder. \"That's not—\" She stopped, her expression softening into something more vulnerable. \"I just... I thought I meant something to you, Alex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words struck me, and I pushed off the wall, walking toward her. I could feel the emotions swirling around her, a mix of frustration, jealousy, and a touch of sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias was proud, but right now, she was showing me a side of her that she didn't let out often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do mean something to me,\" I said as I reached out to tilt her chin up so she had to look at me. \"I mean, it's not like I've been avoiding you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias' eyes met mine, and for a brief moment, I saw that flicker of uncertainty in her gaze. It was rare to see her like this—vulnerable, almost shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just thought...\" She bit her lip, hesitating. \"You've been spending all this time with them, and I guess I was waiting for you to make a move with me. But it never happened. You didn't ask, so I didn't say anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled softly, leaning in just a little closer. \"So, all this time, you were waiting for me to make the first move, huh? Who would've thought that Rias Gremory was shy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her blush deepened, and she scowled at me, but there was no real anger in her expression. \"I'm not shy! I just—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, I interrupted her with a grin. \"You're jealous, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her jaw tightened, and for a second, she looked like she was going to deny it. But then, she sighed and looked away, unable to meet my gaze. \"Maybe a little,\" she admitted quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to gently cup her cheek. \"You know you don't need to be jealous, right? There's plenty of me to go around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rias glared at me, but there was a faint smile tugging at her lips. \"You're such a tease, Alex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only because you make it so easy,\" I teased back. Then, with a more serious tone, I added, \"Look, Rias, if this is really bothering you, we can fix that. I just didn't think you'd be interested in something like this, at least not yet. But I'll be honest—\" I leaned in, my voice dropping to a whisper, \"I am dying to get you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can join my Patreon for 3$.
