Issei woke up and found himself spooning Irina, who was still asleep, looking down, he saw that their hands were still clasped. They enjoyed the movie and enjoyed the visual effects. Issei enjoyed them the most as he likes to work with VFX animation software in his free time. Irina found it compelling how two people, complete strangers, came together to raise a child. When the movie had ended, Issei had moved the trays off the bed and put away Irina's tablet and ear buds, so they could sleep.

It felt nice to have her in his arms again, he began to move his hand, but felt Irina's hand clasp his tighter.

Issei: Irina? Irina, are you awake?

All he got was her exhaling and shifting her weight into him by grinding her butt into his groin. It did make him groan a little as it felt nice, of course, he knew it would feel better without their clothes on. He shifted his hips back because giving into his lust could make her fall and he didn't want that.

Issei: I-ri-na - nudging her side with each syllable, but she didn't move and so he sighed - alright, let's see.

He began to shift his body, until he was able to get out of the bed, however, their hands were still clasped together, which made him chuckle.

Issei: I guess I'll have to take you with me as I should have done all those months ago.

It was a struggle, but he managed to pull her arm over his shoulder, so he could carry her on his back. It seemed that she had the sense to wrap her legs around his waist. Her head was next to his, but she remained sleeping, his other arm was wrapped behind him to keep her steady. It was tempting to squeeze her butt, but he restrained himself, but it felt nice and rounded. He knew that she trained, so her figure had developed over the months.

He began to walk to the bathroom and then realized that he couldn't do anything if she was on his back. Both of his hands were occupied, so he sighed and went back to sit on the bed. With a sigh, he leaned onto his back or rather onto Irina, since she was on his back.

Issei: I guess I'll lay here until you realize that I'm crushing you and you decide to get up - as he closed his eyes.

Several minutes later, he felt a pulse of magic and felt her grip on his hand tighten even more. It made him smirk as he knew that he had woken her up if she was consciously using magic.

Issei: I knew that would wake you up, mornin... mmm - as when he turned his head, he felt her lips against his.

Irina: You used to wake me up like that, when it was just the two of us in Kuoh before you left. Guess you were right that we do need to reconnect if you forgot how to wake me up.

Issei: I'm sorry, but it seems you learned from your mistake about slapping me, but could you let go of my hand?

Irina: No, but I will release my magic - which she did as Issei felt the pressure on his hand lessen.

Issei: Come on, let's get ready - loosening her legs from around him and getting up before pulling her to her feet - you got a date with the girls...

Irina: And you got a date with the parents, you seem to know something about that.

Issei: I do, I'll tell you later, okay?

Irina: No more secrets between us.

Issei: Um, uh...

Irina: What is it now?

Issei: I have a surprise for you, but you won't be getting it now. I'm sorry that I can't tell you what it is, but you said no secrets and I know that I can't lie to you.
