Identity Ticket

[S1E6]Captain On Deck

Y/n stands at the door to his apartment. He placed his hand on the door and looked to Rias whom really did accompany him to his temporary abode. "You... really didn't need to come along."

Rias shook her head, "Nonsense. Its the least I could do to ensure your safety and your well being."

The teen frowned but he found no counter to her words. Instead of dwelling on it however his attention instead returned to the poor cat that he had neglected in his absence. He looks back to his door and opens it so that Rias may walk past him and enter his living space. Before she could do that however a loud cry escaped the house as Y/n's little friend came running up to him meowing all the way. He bent down to her, "Hey hey hey. I'm ok. No need to run. You're still recovering," He spoke in a caring whisper as the cat continued to meow frantically and rub against him. He pet her gently as he spoke, "I know I know... I was gone a long time. You must be starv--"

Kuroka bapped his mouth and let out a small hiss. "Yes yes I'm safe. Luckily someone took pity on this me--" Another bap and hiss. This time with an added tilt of Kuroka's head as if she was displeased with him belittling himself. Rias giggled, immediately alerting Kuroka to her presence. 

In spite of her own wounds the little cat rushed to fill the space between Y/n and Rias and hissed at the red headed demoness. This only made Rias laugh even more so, "Oh my. She seems quite protective of you. Maybe even a little possessive~" She teased as she attempted to reach out her hand to ease the pet only for her to actually bear her claws at the devil.

"Kuroka no! She's a guest," Y/n gently chided as he scooped her up into his arms. The kitty cat not the least bit perturbed or enraged, even began to purr within his embrace as he entered the apartment and left it open for Rias to enter. "I'm sorry. She's a rescue. Very much not a fan of people."

Rias waved her hand as she entered, "It's alright. Its cute to see a cat so attached to someone anyways. Hmmm," She looked around Y/n's rather dingy apartment, "If you'd like I could help you find a better home for you and Kuroka."

"I beg your pardon," Y/n asks with a few confused blinks as he closes the door and flips on the lights... only for them to short out. After a few more flips light returned. "Sorry."

Rias nodded to herself as she surveyed the area, "Yup. You're going to move into a much nicer apartment or better yet a home. These living spaces are laughable at best."

"I- they're not that bad. Besides I make do with what I have. And why are you acting like its such an easy change," The boy asked as he scratched under the chin of the pretty black cat.

"Oh that's because it is. Kuoh is Gremory territory. Or well shared Gremory territory but our co-owners prefer to remain incognito. I can just ask my big brother and it'll be done in no time flat," Rias boasted as she placed her arms on her hips with a smug smile.

"That's pretty cool but I'd rather no--" Kuroka meowed in an annoyed tone as she bapped him on the nose before wiggling back into a comfy position in his arms.

A small scowl grows upon Rias but as quickly as it appeared it disappeared, 'Play around it Gremory. Play around it.' Rias propped up her tits with a small motion as she crossed her arms. She then sighed, "Look. Y/n I get it. I know what kind of person you are. So, let me put this in a way you can't refuse. Money is a non-issue, there is no way you'd be a burden. Additionally, as you are now a member of my peerage your living space is as much a reflection of you as it is myself. While I won't force you to get the biggest grandest home available or constructed I will request that you upgrade to a more normal home or even a functional apartment. Will that suffice?"

Kuroka, that traitor, let out a meow as if to laugh at how easily Rias had cornered him into accepting her kindness. "Yeah... yeah that does."

"By the way, if you apologize or act like you're being a burden on me for putting me through this I will force you to get a bigger home," Rias threatened with a fanged grin. Y/n's mouth clamped tight. Rias stepped by him, ignoring Kuroka's hisses and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "I'll have Yumi come over to help you pack your stuff. You say anything about how undeserving you are to her threat still applies~"
