Duality (DxD) (Part 1)

Ch 36 - Pervert

Jin had been living alone for a while now and steadily growing. At the age of 14 he was now 5 foot 7 inches. Taller than Ban was. His body was tone and he was doing well physically. Maximising his strength while not getting too bulky, maintaining his agility and flexibility. He had gotten much faster at making figures and took breaks resting in areas he could get the best shade. Under trees, in forests, on his own roof. It was a peaceful life. His money was stable and his chess game on point. Winning 2 tournaments in chess. Though he never displayed interest in going further. Being a champion at chess wasn't his interest and he knew Hex didn't want that for him.

Chess was supposed to be a fun game that Jin occasionally used to make some extra money.

He even began commissioning digital art he makes on a pad he brought. But the amount he earned from it could never match up to what he bearded from making figures. His accounts were most known for selling high quality figures compared to its price. He increased the price a bit but it was still lower than many of his competitors.

Jin knew he didn't need to live big, he just needed to live well.

And he was doing that, he was happy living his life, even though he didn't express it too much. Ban was right about him, he enjoyed having friends even if he didn't want to go to school. Though he needed to confront one of his friends right now. One he was sitting on his lap and hugging him.

Placing down a rook as he looked at Aika, maybe a bit too comfortable in this position.

Jin: Aika... are you a pervert?

Jin asked as Aika blushed a crimson red. Hiding her face in his body, but he could feel her smile. Hear her small giggles. He wasn't trying to insult her nor was he joking. He just wanted to know if she was being nice to him this whole time, or being a perv fulfilling some weird fantasy like many commissions he had.

Jin: Could you answer my question Aika?

Jin pulled back as Aika adjusted her pink rim glasses. A blush on her face as she looked into Jins crimson eyes. Jin looked into her golden eyes and her blush as it slightly pointed to the answer he had in his mind.

Aika: If... If I am? Yeah! What if I am?! You're a perv too!

Jin: I am?

Jin said confused which made Aika smile a bit more. Jin didn't believe he was a pervert. He didn't to anything to warrant the accusation. But he did do one thing.

Aika: You make perverse figures! Of course it's rubbing off on your personality! {Even if you never show it! You wouldn't let me do what I do if you weren't perverse!}

Jin: It's my job. Quite literally my very livelihood. I make commissions to live alone, I don't control what people want. You know this.

Aika: And?! You could have come up with another idea to make money! You just had to pick something perverted! Pervert! So don't judge other people!

Jin looked at Aika as she looked blushed, happy, angry and annoyed all at the same time. It confused Jin slightly. But he wanted to make something clear.

Jin: I'm not judging you. If it sounded like that I'm sorry. I won't do it again. But I would like to know if I'm your best friend, or a tool for your perversion?

Aika widened her eyes and they looked at Jins chest. As if deep in thought about the answer she could give. She didn't want to lie to Jin. But she didn't want to sound like a terrible person. She also didn't want to admit something. Jin couldn't only look at her as she thought. He really wanted to continue being friends with Aika. But if he was only an object for her perversion, he didn't want that.

He wouldn't want to be around her anymore.

Aika: I... I am a pervert. I feel no shame in admitting that. But... you're my best friend Jin, please don't think you are only a tool to me. I really like you. So... if I was to answer you, would it be okay... to say both?

Aika looked at Jins crimson eyes and in her golden eyes held worry. She didn't want to lie. She was a pervert. She may have acted out on that more with Jin. But he was someone close to her. Aika didn't want to lose Jin. They had known each other for so long she couldn't lose him. Even if that meant no longer being a pervert.

But Jin didn't see it in the worry Aika did. Completely calm and expressionless.

Jin: As long as you actually like me and I'm not just a tool or object to you. I won't judge you too much for being a pervert.

Jin held Aika close with his hand on the back of her head. Causing her to blush and heat up as she took deep breaths smiling. Happy that Jin accepted her.

Aika: Can I watch you make some of your... more erotic figures some times.

Jin: Hmm. As long as you don't touch anything, or jolt me while I'm making them, sure.

Aika smiled as she hugged much closer into Jin. Only to leave early as she was seeing family members over at her house.
