The Esper Devil ( Esper OC X Highschool DxD )

Chapter 23 - Hero meets Hero

Part 1

It was morning when Shigeo woke up and was greeted by a pair of emerald eyes looking at him

"So you finally woke up"

His wife was laid at his side smiling, even after all those years, the sight of her still made his heart skip

"Good morning, were you watching me sleep?"

"N-not a lot, I just woke up and you seemed tired, so I just thought I should let you rest a little longer, that's all"

Tatsumaki said a bit bashful while standing to sit on the bed, she was now wearing her underwear, but he could definitely tell that she wasn't wearing anything when they went to bed last night. Which means she probably dressed herself and was staring him for a while.

"For a guy who works out almost every day you surely got tired"

He smiled to himself, even after all these years of marriage and even a child together, she still retained a part of that tsundere behaviour from when they first met

"And whose fault is it?"

"Gyah!"

Tatsumaki yelped as her husband also sat on the bed and grabbed her from behind

"Mou, don't you have work today?"

She said embarassed, but happy to be cuddled

"Not today, do you wanna go somewhere?"

The green haired woman looked up and answered after kissing his cheek

"Sorry, I got a mission today, remember?"

Tatsumaki said escaping his grip  and standing up. She was a high rank active member of the Esper Community, usually required to do works that most espers couldn't do even when banded together, so even if she wanted, refusing was not an option.

"Oh..."

Shigeo was a little disappointed, he knew that his wife wouldn't be happy at a normal job, she had been doing this all her life and was damn good at it, but it did made him sad when she had to go because another emergency had appeared. 

"C'mon, don't give me this face!"

She said lifting his chin up

"I'll try to solve it as fast as I can so we can have some time together when I get back, okay?"

Her husband smiled and stood up

"Alright then!"

He hugged her and lifted her up, something he liked to do ever since they were dating

"H-hey, put me down! I gotta take a shower!"

"Hahahaha, sorry"

After he put her down, she strolled towards the bathroom

"I'm gonna make breakfast"

Shigeo said after getting dressed

"Thanks"

He heard his wife replying from the bathroom and made his way downstairs to the kitchen

While he was cooking, Shigeo felt a familiar presence getting close and a small green figure emerged from a nearby wall

"Hi Dimple, didn't Sensei needed you today?"

After deciding he would rather stay on earth than passing on, Dimple often ran errands with Reigen, who, everybody already knew, wasn't an esper himself.

"No, your brother is going with him this time"

Shigeo felt troubled, the spirit would often drop by when he had nothing else to do, but everytime he did it...
