A Maken-Ki Fanfic

Chapter 9

Deimos left the area, strolling around the Tenbi campus at night, which felt different somehow. Just then, he felt his phone vibrate slightly, it was a message from Aki Nijou, his beautiful nurse.

Aki: Deimos-kun! I'm really sorry I have to ask you this, but can you please meet me near the school entrance, please!

He didn't think too much about how to respond; he was already close to the entrance. Spotting her, he admired her beautiful dark blue hair and purple eyes as she searched for someone. When their eyes met, her face lit up with a gentle, excited smile. Her lab coat fluttered in the increasingly strong wind.

Aki felt the gusts too and instinctively tried to tame her hair. What she didn't expect was for her skirt to flip up, revealing her black lace underwear. Deimos swore she was wearing a thong. It struck him as odd that she had chosen a modest outfit while underneath, she wore something so daring.

Before he could embarrass Aki any further, he stepped closer, blocking the wind. He stood in front of her, and due to their height difference, he had to look down at her. As he did, her skirt fell back into place, but he could still see the redness in her cheeks and the small tears forming from her embarrassment.

With a shaky voice, she managed a crooked smile and said, "...Sorry for making you come all the way here." The earlier awkwardness seemed to fade slightly as she began to regain her composure.

"It's no problem. I still haven't made it home yet," he replied, recalling the messages he'd been receiving from Haruko and Inaho, asking where he was.

"Oh, okay, that's good then..." Aki looked down, lost in her thoughts. Come on, say something, Aki! Since waking up from Midori's office, she had been in a frenzy, even making Midori question what was going on with her. After their earlier misunderstanding, she had been desperately searching for Deimos. She hesitated to message him, fearing it might be a bother, but deep down, she worried he might have blocked her.

"De-Deimos-kun! I've been meaning to tell you something... it's about yesterday." Deimos raised an eyebrow, curious.

"Aki-sensei, you really don't have to worry about it anymore. It was just a child's rant," he said dismissively.

".......It's san, not sensei," she replied, her tone carrying a hint of hurt.

"What did you say?" he asked, needing to make sure he heard her right.

"It's san! Not sensei!" she insisted, now looking directly at him, tears glimmering in her lovely purple eyes. This surprised Deimos, and he quickly corrected himself, gently wiping the tears from her cheeks.

Once she had composed herself a bit, she said, "Deimos-kun, I know what I said yesterday might not have been the best way to handle things, but I just wanted to tell you that I messed up."

"Deimos-kun, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday." Before she could fully bow in apology, he took her gently by the shoulders, making her meet his gaze.

"It's okay, but please don't do that again; it feels wrong." He found it uncomfortable when people apologized like that. Sometimes it seemed sincere, but he just couldn't handle it.

"...Sorry, I've been messing things up a lot lately, haven't I?" She felt a sense of urgency; she didn't want to wait anymore. She had thought she could take her time to win him back, but every time she saw him, her resolve grew stronger.

"Deimos-kun, I... I like you too!" she declared, gathering every ounce of courage. Her lavender eyes, despite the embarrassment, locked onto his. "...I like you too, Aki... but I need to be honest with you. I want to have a harem."
