The Twist We Need

MOM!

"You want to marry my son when he turns into an adult?" Miki was summarizing what Sirzechs told her.

"Yes, he is the love of my life!" Sirzechs remained serious while Grayfia sighed knowing that Miki was going to reject this.

"Why didn't you say so?"

"What?" Grayfia screamed when hearing the response.

Miki smiled with joy, "Why would I say no? My son will be marrying someone who's a doctor and someone so responsible. Not only that, but my son always had a dream of marrying someone so beautiful."

Sirzechs blushed when hearing the compliments she was receiving, "Thank you."

"So! When my son turns 18, you will marry him?"

"YES!"

Miki squealed and grabbed Sirzechs's hand, "YES!"

Sirzechs and Miki both began laughing and hugging before going in circles. "I PROMISE TO BE THE BEST DAUGHTER-IN-LAW!"

"I BELIEVE YOU! THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY SON AND HIS LONELY HEART!"

Issei turned to Grayfia and said, "I got a wife that can destroy me. Any suggestions on surviving?"

Grayfia sighed, "You could just tickle her whenever she is mad. You can tell her that you know her secret baby pictures."

"Wouldn't she know that I'm lying."

"She's naïve when it comes to you."

Issei smiled before relaxing on the couch, "Holy shit... I got a wife. I got a fucking wife. This feels to unreal."

Sirzechs sat right next to Issei and cuddled her head right into his neck, "And I got a husband. After so many centuries, I got someone who loves me."

"Oh my gosh!" Miki screamed. "I NEED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS!"

Grayfia could only watch Sirzechs smile and laugh while being with Issei... Grayfia herself couldn't help but smile with them. Seeing Sirzechs, someone that was alone for so long and only saw war when she grew up become someone that is blushing and getting embarrassed like a school girl was something that was golden to Grayfia. This was a moment that she would never forget.

Grayfia turned to Miki before asking, "How about we celebrate this with some dinner?"

Miki nodded and ran to the kitchen. Grayfia followed suit while Sirzechs and Issei continued conversing with each other about their future.

"If we have a child, I want their name to be Millicus if it's a boy and Makima if it's a girl."

"Woah! Maybe moving too fast there. Let's first wait until I graduate out of High School."

"But that's like in forever!" Sirzechs pouted and started throwing a tantrum, "Why can't time move faster?"

"And I'm hoping for the exact opposite. I wanna stay a child. I hate responsibilities!"

"Too bad! You will have to be responsible for stealing my heart." Sirzechs placed both her hands on his shoulders and began shaking him. "Do you like the names I mentioned?"

"Yes! I... do..." Trying to keep himself together while being shaken around, Ddraig added to the fuel by laughing, Issei was barely able to concentrate on her words. Being shaken by the Lucifer was no easy task to endure.

"Perfect!" Sirzechs calmed down and relaxed into the couch with Issei. "Let's watch a TV show."

"Like what?"

"Well, I used to watch romance shows and movies but then I got jealous of them. Now, since I finally have you, I can watch them and throw shade at them."

Issei hated those types of shows. That's when Issei noticed from the corner of his eyes of something special on the tv. "Is that... the newest Elden Ring game?" Immediately, switching his attention to the television, Issei eyes's were glued to everything in the trailer.

Sirzechs looked confused before getting jealous at the attention that Issei was giving to the TV. She tried to get in front of him, but Issei dived to the side to continue watching.

"The Fire Keeper..." Issei widened his eyes when saying that. There was no way that they were bringing things from the previous games to the current game.

Sirzechs tried to blow his view by spreading her arms and getting in front of him. However, Issei ducked underneath and crawled between her legs and appeared right in front of the television.

"NAMELESS KING!" Issei screamed in excitement and slight fear. Sirzechs finally had enough and grabbed Issei by the head and threw him into the couch and turned the television off.

"That's it! No more tv. Just the two of us talking." Issei was still dreaming about what he saw. Playing nearly all of the Souls games, Issei was in Lala land.

Sirzechs lifted Issei up and began shaking him, "SPEAK TO ME!"

While Sirzechs was manhandling Issei, Grayfia and Miki were making some food.

"What should we start with?"

Grayfia thought about what they could make with the food that was in the fridge and in the cabinets. "How about some mash potatoes?"

Miki nodded before thinking about something, "Since we are celebrating, how about we make all of our favorite foods? I'll make cheesecake for Issei and I."

"I'll make some pudding for Sirzechs and I." Grayfia liked the idea. A small little reward for going through hell emotionally, both her and Sirzechs.

"Then, let's begin!" Turning on chef mode, Miki began cooking as fast as possible. Grayfia was the one that was struggling to keep up.

'So, this is the legendary cooking skills of a mother. Now I know what I need to surpass.' Grayfia, with fire in her eyes, began moving even faster. 'To go even further beyond!'

Within record times, they were already half way done.

"I want to ask, how was Issei as a child?"

It was as if it was a nostalgia bomb for Miki as she stopped moving and began remembering the memories that made her love Issei so much as her son. "Issei was always someone that would make a mistake first before learning to never do the same thing twice. He was always so curious that he would always do something bad before realizing that he messed up. One time, he threw a marker at a teacher just because he was curious about what would happen. Nonetheless, he learned what a spanking really meant."

Grayfia softly smiled when seeing the mother getting emotional, "I love Issei more than anything in the world. He means so much to my husband and I. He was always innocent and was always trying to make new friends. He would smile all the time and listen to us when we would need him to. I remember one time when he was scared after watching a movie where a hand came out a toilet and didn't want to go into the bathroom because of it."

"If you don't mind me asking... Does Issei have any siblings?"

It was as if a bullet went straight through Miki's chest when hearing the question. "No... Issei... is an only child. I... I had a few miscarriages that could have been his siblings." Grayfia knew that she pushed too far and immediately went to hug the woman. "I always felt like a terrible mother thinking that it was something wrong with me. That I somehow messed up. Seeing Issei watching other siblings always broke my heart. I wished Issei had a sibling so he always had someone around his age to rely on." Starting to get emotional, Miki stayed silent.

"One thing I will say... You raised your son to being an amazing man." Grayfia said gently to calm Miki down. "It makes me jealous that he's your son and not mine."

Miki chuckled slightly before wrapping her hands around Grayfia, "Thank you, Grayfia."
