Wrought Iron Devil: Gate of Blades

Stigmata

To say the day started off great would be an understatement. It was not everyday that one pair becomes a couple, let alone sleep together as such. You awoke to the warmth of sheets and you and Akeno still cuddled together. You stroked her hair gently, though it was enough to wake her up as well. (E/c) met magenta.

"Morning Handsome." She said, rubbing her eyes.

"Morning." You smiled.

"The summit's today." She noted. "Too bad. I'd prefer staying in bed."

"You're telling me. This stuff always goes down on a weekend." You agreed.

"Maybe we should ask Rias for overtime?" Akeno joked.

"Is that a thing for a Peerage?"

"I don't know to be honest." She shrugged.

"Either way, I need to shower......." You drifted off when you realized who you were talking to.

Too late.

"Ara. You sure you don't want company?" She asked with a grin.

"Not yet." You said. "I also have a parent in the house."

"All the more reason. Wouldn't using it twice raise suspicion?" Akeno seized on the opening. "Besides, you've seen me naked before."

You sighed. Both were valid points. But at the same time, a smirk formed on your face at the thought.

"Ok. Then."

Once the shower was on and sufficiently warm, the two of you stood in the stall gently caressing each other. And then Akeno got the idea to wash each other. That was really it, however. A fact not lost on her.

"Are you sure you don't want more?" Akeno asked with a slightly pleading tone as you shut off the shower.

"One step at a time. Think of it as building towards that instead of instant gratification." You explained. Did you want it? Yes. Did that mean ASAP? No. You wanted to take it slowly. After all, most of the best quality results come from gradual, slow progress.

"You naughty boy. Tormenting me with that teasing." Akeno facetiously lamented.

"Says the naughty girl." You answered, now knowing exactly what that did.

"Oh, you...." Akeno kissed you, French style.

Timeskip

So everyone was now present in one of the offices of the school. Two Devil Kings, Sirzechs and Serafall with Grayfia standing behind Sirzechs. One Fallen Angel Governor, a Dragon Emperor, and one of his people, Azazel, Raynare and Vali, who was leaning on a wall. And one Archangel Michael, and in fact Irina standing behind him as his plus one. As Rias and Sona were the ones who were present, their Peerage were also present, albeit to the side. The two were in front, providing a full debriefing of the events that took place.

"The rest of the details of the incident between my household and Kokabiel can be found in my official report." Rias finished.

"As a witness, I, Sona Sitri, confirm the veracity of the report given by Lady Gremory." Sona affirmed.

"I see. Thank you very much." Sirzechs replied.

"Great job ladies and Peerage." Serafall complimented. "You make me so proud, Sona."

Once again Sona grew flustered under the affectionate praise of her sister. Nonetheless both remained silent.

"Perhaps the Governor of the Fallen Angels would care to share his opinion of their report." Sirzechs said, bringing attention to Azazel.
