Lucky Reincarnation (DxD)

Ch 18 - Feelings

Grayfia had been visiting Haru for a while now and they had been getting really close. Haru told Grayfia what he could about his life in the Dimensional Gap and Grayfia spoke of her life. Though there were things Haru was yet to know.

Grayfia: So you created all of this with an ability you have?

Haru: Yeah. I can merge two items together to make practical anything I can think of. I made the clothes I'm wearing with completely destroyed clothes and fixed yours the same way.

Grayfia and Haru were having dinner together. They were seeing each other so often infact they became practically roommates in different dimensions. Haru love it with Grayfia here. His prison seeming less like a prison.

Grayfia: So... you could make... a diamond from cutlery?

Haru smiled as he combined his two pieces of cutlery. Turning it into a silver diamond encrusted ring. Haru held his hand out as Grayfia grew a blush. Placing her gentle hand on top of Harus as he slid the ring just one finger away from a certain important one. Making Grayfia blush even more thinking about it.

Haru: I know me making it in front of you might take away from its value. But I'd like to think it's a special ring of an even more special lady.

Grayfia turned red as she covered her face with her hands. A cold air was felt as her blush disappeared. Haru giggled. He realised what she was doing the second time she did it. Using her ice magic to get rid of the hot blush on her face. It was actually adorable.

Grayfia: D-Don't say that if you don't mean it. You keep saying things like that Haru.

Even though Grayfia just got rid of her blush another one was slowly appearing on her face.

Haru: And I mean everything. Every single word.

Grayfia: Y-You think I'm special?

Haru: Why wouldn't I? You're the only person I have my eyes on.

Haru looked at Grayfia. A certain loving and seduction look in his eyes as Grayfia blushed a deeper red. Haru didn't even know his face was doing this.

Grayfia: But... what if someone else comes around?

Haru: Still only looking at you.

Grayfia: What if... you like them too?

Haru: I'll like you more.

Grayfia: What if you love them?

Harus Not...

Haru was about to say "Not as much as I love you." But Grayfia disrupted him flustered before he could even get half way through the sentence.

Grayfia: WAIT DON'T ANSWER THAT! Not unless you mean it.

Haru: I...

Grayfia: WAIT! Don't say it right now. I... I'm not ready yet.

Grayfia blushed.

Haru: Because of your ex?

Grayfia: I... yes. But she wasn't just an ex. She... she was my first. The person I would have married.

Haru: I don't want to force you to say anything if you don't want to.

Grayfia: No. I feel safe talking about this with you.

Haru: I glad I make you feel safe. I want you to be able to feel safe with me.

Grayfia: Thank you Haru. So... it started during the Devil Civil War.

Haru: Which as you said has ended recently. Right?

Grayfia: Yes. As I said there were two main factions. The Old Satan Faction and the Anti-Satan Faction. I as well as my family were with the Old Satan Faction. I fought on the front lines. And on those front lines I lead an army in what was called the Battle of Valefor Territory. The battle was hard and difficult. Fighting an opponent that resulted in stalemates in for a while. I... I won't bore you with the other details. But... my father on his deathbed trusted my ex... Sirzechs to take care of me. I was taken in to her household after defecting to the other side. Then there, I started falling in love. I... I really love her. She was kind, caring, sometimes sweet with her brash nature. I-I-I... I loved her. Then when I mentioned a family with her. S-S-She laughed at it. Laughed at the thought of having a family. She... she...

Grayfia felt the warm embrace of Haru as he hugged her. The hug was soft given how hard his body inherently was. Tears streaming down Grayfias face, dropping onto her lap.

Haru: It's ok. I would say there's no need to cry. But as I said. I want you to feel safe with me. So cry as much and as hard as you want. Because I can promise you Grayfia. You're safe with me.

Grayfia froze for a second as she then relaxed in Harus arms. Crying into him. She had lost someone she loved. Not because they didn't love each other. But because they had different dreams. Different dreams that would had taken them apart. Sirzechs couldn't even think of a life with kids. But Grayfia wanted a family with someone she loved.

Haru stroked the back of Grayfias head as he stayed in the standing position. Holding Grayfia. He was calm. But he didn't like to see Grayfia sad like this. She had been the first person he had seen in hundreds of years. All he wanted to do was make her happy. For her to stay by his side. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't been around people for so long. But... he felt something strong for her. But he couldn't remember what this feeling was. Was it actually love? But if it was with Grayfia he wanted to stay in this feeling.

Grayfia also felt something. They had actually known each other for nearly two years. And she felt safe with Haru. Sirzechs had tried to chase her and get her back but that only made it all hurt more. But with Haru. Nothing was hurt. Nothing was hurting. Instead it felt relieving with Haru. With her head up against him she could hear his smooth, slow, rhythmic heartbeat. His strong arms wrapped around he in a soft hug. She felt something from this hug. She felt claimed. As of Haru wasn't going to leave her no matter what. As her tears streamed she thought about something. About being with Haru. Being his.
