Duality (DxD) (Part 1)

Ch 105 - A Morning Together Again

Aika: JIN!

Aika shouted jolting and crying, but she couldn't jolt up as she felt the warm embrace of both Jin and Mittelt. Because during the night she had woke up crying twice. But now it was morning and Jin was gently stroking the back of Aikas hair. Holding her close to him as she was dressed in the black baggy top he had.

Jin: Shhhhh~. It's going to be okay. I'm never going to leave you. It's okay~. It's okay~.

Jin said as Aika cried slightly. Holding on tight to Jin in a hug. She was in Jin's bed, she had slept in the same bed as Jin. It had been so long that she missed it. Even if she only experienced sleeping in the same bed as Jin for two weeks, she missed the feeling of it. Being close to Jin again was something she longed for, ever since he left her parents' home.

Aika: I... I'm... I'm so sorry!

Jin: It's okay, as long as things can change back to how they used to be, I forgive you.

Aika: No! No no! I... I don't want that! Jin I love you! Please... please don't let things be how they used to. I... I need you to know how much I love you. I...

Gently Jin kissed Aika again and it wasn't the rushed kiss she gave Jin before. The kiss Jin initiated was peaceful. It made Aika melt and was so much more compared to what she rushed. What she was trying to aim for. This was the true love she wanted to know, placed right on her lips.

Jin: Don't worry. I know how you feel. From now and forever, I'll show you how much I love you. But no more manipulation or plans. I'm fine being a fantasy in your perversion, but tell me about it. Even if it's the most perverted fantasy, I enjoy listening to you talk, much rather than being a piece in your plan. I'll try and cater to every one of your desires. But you need to tell me about them, not trying to unknowingly push me into them.

Aika looked at Jin as she wiped her teary eyes on the black top she was wearing. Trying to stop her crying and sniffling.

Aika: Can... Can you do what you did before? When we slept together... you... you smelt me.

Jin: {Smelt her? When did I... ohhhhhh. When I had an itchy nose. Ohhhhhh! That's why she said I could keep going!}

Jin thought as he looked at Aika, she looked at him concerned, thinking he would say no. But Jin didn't say anything. Gently resting his face against Aikas chest as he took in deep breaths. Aika teared up a bit more but hugged Jin even closer.

Jin: I love you Aika.

Aika: I love you too.

They both said their love for each other as they held one another close. All the while Jin took deep breaths of Aika, resting his face on her moderately sized breasts.

Aika: Jin... I... I want you to know I never...

Jin: I know you never meant to hurt me. But Aika, when you disregarded my hard work, you didn't just hurt me.

Aika widened her eyes and turned over to Mittelt who looked at Aika with teary eyes. Because as much as Jin was hurt, Mittelt was too. Because if his hard work wasn't enough to get recognised by the people who loved him, what did that mean for the hard work she had been putting in? What did her hard work look like in the eyes of her friends?

Aika: Mittelt.

Mittelt: If Jin's hard work didn't mean much. What about me? Am... Am I still not enough? I... I've been trying to work hard... but...

Aika: No Mittelt! I... I think you're more than enough! I... I didn't mean to make anyone feel like their hard work meant nothing to me! Mittelt I know you put a lot of effort into everything! You've worked so hard you got another pair of wings! You... you still allowed me to become your best friend even though I was a human turned devil. I know you haven't found it easy to move past what happened to your parents... AND I'M GREAT-FULL YOU'RE WORKING HARD BECAUSE IT HAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE YOUR FRIEND!

Aika looked at Mittelt as they both had tears in their eyes. But a word wasn't spoken between them briefly. Only silence.

Aika: I... I know I was a bad friend at that moment. No... not just in that moment. I was holding you back this entire time from you telling Jin how you really felt about him. I've been a terrible friend since day one. But I want to be a better friend to you Mittelt. I... I may not be able to qualify as your best friend, but please... can I still at least be your friend?

Aika said as Mittelt looked at her. Wiping her eyes as she looked at Aika, the former best friend.

Mittelt: I'm... I'm sorry I punched you in the nose. I know maybe I went a bit far and crazy. But you hurt Jin and I will always be on his side. I... I may be a bit crazy and even sometimes emotional. But I'm not crazy enough to permanently throw away my best friend. So a week. You will not be my best friend for a week. That is your punishment for hurting me and Jin's feelings.

Mittelt gave a soft smile as Aikas eyes filled with tears. Hugging Mittelt hard as Mittelt gently hugged her back.

Now it was only Jin who had lost people, and that was fine with him. Because despite how much Aika had hurt him. Jin loved her and never wanted to see her hurt like the way she was.

He never wanted to be the one that hurt her.
