The True Red (Male Reader x Highschool DxD)

Ch.20.5 A Talk

~One Week Ago~

3rd POV

Sirzechs : "Magi, I'd like to talk to you about (Y/N)" he said

Magi : "I believe I made it clear that I never wanted to speak with you" she said in a cold tone

Sirzechs : "Yes, I'm aware, but I want to talk about (Y/N) going back to Kuoh Academy" he said making Magi narrow her eyes at the Satan

Magi : "You what?" she asked angrily

Sirzechs : "I know what Rias did hurt (Y/N), but I'd like them to talk everything out, Rias feels devastated for what happened and she wants to fix things up" he said

Magi : "(Y/N) is currently mourning after the loss of his teachers and my closest friends, having to meet with Rias would be adding more fuel to the fire" she replied

Sirzechs : "Please, I know I have no right to ask you for anything, but my sister is deeply hurt for what she did, please just have (Y/N) meet her" he begged

Magi : "No" she replied hanging up on him

Atem : "My, how rude you've turned out" he said making Magi turn around to see (Y/N) standing at the doorway

Magi : "Atem?" she asked

Atem  : "Atem? Weren't you always calling me master?" he asked laughing softly as Magi hugged her former master

Magi : "I've missed you Atem" she said

Atem : "I as well, now tell me what all that was about" he said making Magi face him

Magi : "It was Sirzechs" she hissed confusing Atem

Atem : "What about Sirzechs?" he questioned

After Magi filled Atem in about (Y/N) situation and how he was left for dead by Rias, Atem took in all the information sighed.

Atem : "I say you should let him meet Rias" he replied shocking Magi

Magi : "But Master! She left him for dead, I know he isn't holding a grudge, but it-"

*BONK*

Magi was immediately bonked on the head with a nearby broom.

Atem : "This grudge you have against Sirzechs has gone on long enough, I know you're mad that I died and that he was the cause of it, but I would've done the same" he said as Magi held her head

Magi : "But it isn't right, HOW COULD HE JUST SEND ZORC TO THE HUMAN WORLD WHERE HE COULD'VE EASILY KILLED US?! HE SHOULD'VE LEFT HIM IN HELL AND DIE INSTEAD OF YOU!" she shouted angrily clenching her fists

Magi : "IT ISN'T RIGHT! IT ISN'T RIGHT!" she continued shouting with tears in her eyes

Atem then took his former apprentice in his arms and held her close to his chest, letting her cry everything out. For too long, Magi has been keeping all of her emotions inside, after 800 years, she can finally let it all go. Magi eventually cried herself to sleep and lied down on Atem's lap who took a seat on the couch nearby. He rubbed her head as fell asleep peacefully as a smile was shown on his face.

Atem : "Even after all this time, you're still the same girl I left behind all those years ago" he said before slowly closing his eyes and falling asleep.

The next day, Magi woke up to find herself sleeping on the couch with a blanket over her body. The sound of sizzling and smell of cooking made her stomach growl as she stood up and headed over to the kitchen to see Atem wearing an apron.

Atem : "Morning, I thought I'd make us some breakfast" he said making Magi smile 

Magi took a seat as Atem handed her a plate of eggs, bacon and hash browns on the side. She took a bite and smiled at her master.
