Aki's peerage are getting ready for school, Aki interrupts them by shouting them from the living room.
They all bundle into to the living room half dressed and tired, Aki smiles rubbing his hands together "ok so I've held off on telling anyone this but the interview went amazingly and we're soon to have a new woman around here, but first I need help, as per tradition I must get her an engagement gift that proves that an amount of effort has gone into the unification of the two families... any ideas?" Asta raises his hand "why don't you arm wrestle her father" Aki chuckles "nope next" Saber and Esdeath walk away into his bedroom whilst he keeps taking ideas from his peerage.
Half an hour later Aki waltzes into his bedroom a book hits him in the head "ow... what the fuck?!" Esdeath sits on a chair in the corner whilst Saber crosses her arms scowling "she that good?" Aki tilts his head squinting "what?" Saber growls "took you almost a year to start with me and longer for poor Esdeath" Aki shook his head "I only fell in love with Esdeath because I didn't have much choice when marrying her, it was her condition to become part of my peerage and I've liked you longer than that but I had my loyalty to my wife" Saber throws another book which Aki dodges "hold up a minute I thought you two didn't mind sharing?" He asks "we don't know her do we how are we supposed to share with someone we don't know?!" Saber yells going to throw another book but gets stopped by Esdeath who finally stands.
She walks up to Aki staring into his eyes hers glittering like gems "do you truly love this woman like you love us?" She asks Aki swallows looking over at Saber before looking back at her "I think so" Esdeath smirks "I need to meet her then, me and Saber both" Aki smiles hugging Esdeath "of course and thank you" She cranes her head to whisper in his ear "you should start heading to school I'll settle Saber" she kisses him on the cheek and pushes him out of the room.
Aki and Asta waltz into their class smiling at a beautiful morning, they expected to be the first ones in class but as soon as Aki opens the door he sees Tomoki and a flash of white heading toward him, he immediately pushes Asta away before getting impaled by something sharp in his shoulder "FUCK!!" He flys through the hallway window shards of glass raking his back, He paws about at the flash his vision blurry he touches something soft and hears a moan, he plants his feet in the middle of the flash and pushes, the flash flies backwards away from him as he attempts to grab his bearings.
He shakes his head vision clearing he looks at his shoulder noticing a glowing dagger, he pulls it out grunting as it burns his palm "fuuuuuuck" he gasps throwing it away he looks at his opponent scanning them taking note of their pinkish wings.
The angel flies forward ready to strike but Aki dodges grabbing her hair and slamming her into the ground he grimaces through the pain from his shoulder "who are you" he asks but the angel bats him away with her wing she flies toward him again Aki reveals his wings and shoots up into the sky the angel following like a lock on missile.
She catches Aki's ankle and tosses him toward the ground but he catches himself flipping in the air his eye glows and a little sigil forms at his index finger he shoots a beam at the angel as she dives at him the beam pierces her shoulder ripping into her wing causing her to bomb into the ground Aki lands grabbing her by the hair and hoisting her up.
"Who Are You" he demands she scowls trying to swat him away Aki slaps her "I won't ask again" he raises his hand but is stopped as Tomoki runs up to them "wait Aki don't" he looks up from the angel who takes the opportunity to break free and kick Aki away.
Aki groans as he gets up but sees Tomoki talking to the Angel who puts her wings away Aki stalks over but Tomoki gets in the way "please Aki don't" Aki tilts his head "Don't?! She attacked me I will do whatever I like" he steps forward again only for Asta to stop him "Aki students are beginning to enter the grounds we can't have them seeing this" Aki shakes his head "Fine, but I want her in the clubroom at recess" his wings vanish as he calms and walks away flicking his hand causing the damage to the window and wall of the hallway to fix itself.
A couple hours later he's sat at his desk in his club room signing a stack of papers as Asta walks in with the angel and Tomoki in tow "thanks Asta you may go" he waves his hand as he continues to sign "Aki I swear this is all just a-" Aki raises a finger shutting Tomoki up he puts the stack to one side before standing "SIT" he growls Tomoki and the angel quickly sit down Aki walks round and leans against his desk glowering at the two pulling out a cigarette and lighting it "right Tomoki who's your girlfriend" Tomoki tilts his head "you smoke?" Aki takes a puff "not what I asked" Tomoki shakes his head "um her names Ikaros and I know it's hard to believe but she's an Angel" Aki nods "I'm aware, I'm also aware that we have a truce since the last war and how do you think it's going to go when the higher ups find out a rogue angel attacked the brother of one of the devil kings?".
Tomoki's jaw drops "so you are a devil" Aki nods turning to Ikaros who's scowling at him "now I think of Tomoki as a friend even though he is a pervert" Tomoki looks stung "Hey" Aki puts his finger up again "but he's better than Issei and his gaggle of predators so I'll keep my mouth shut as long as you stay in line otherwise I'll have to kill you for attempting to disturb the peace treaty" Ikaros' expression softens "now go on piss off" he points to the door the stand and Tomoki bows as they quickly leave.
Esdeath walks in seeing Aki slump in his seat "something wrong?" She asks walking behind him and massaging his shoulders "eh Angels are now at school" Esdeath smirks "want me to get rid of em?" Aki shakes his head "no I'd rather not have to explain it to the Angel faction" Esdeath pouts "stupid peace treaty I reckon the war could've been won" Aki smirks as an idea pops into his head "I know what I'm going to do as an engagement gift and make you and Saber happy".
Esdeath walks round to face Aki "what and how?" She looks at him skeptically "I'm gonna bring her to the house so you guys can meet her and keep her busy while I end the war in her territory" Esdeath laughs loudly "your telling me your going to war?" Aki nods she shakes her head cupping his cheek "you die on me I'll be really disappointed... wait war?" Aki nods again "apparently one of the reasons she accepted the marriage was because she needed an alliance with a strong territory to help with an invasion from a neighbouring territory" Esdeath nods "and you fell in love with her because of that?", "nope we snuck out for drinks and got to really know each other and that's what I fell in love with" Esdeath smirks "well I honestly can't wait to meet her then".
