How does Grayfia feel now? Think she'll need a hand?

Enjoy.

~~~~~

Grayfia was in her room as she had gotten out of the bath early. Dinner was within an hour as she sat on her bed in a towel. Though she looked sad or melancholy as she went to the dresser. Put on a bra, panties, and pantyhose and then went to her closet. Some maid uniforms already set to go and then she ended up thinking to herself. 

I should feel excited but I'm not. I just hope I can feel comfortable and be what he wants. I shouldn't need alcohol to be flirty or show my affection to him. I should be able to wear something flattering and appealing for him. Not too sexy but nothing basic. And yet I have no idea what I'm doing. A knock came to the door and she blushed. "W-who is it?"

"Grayfia it's Jade. May I come in?"

"Please do." 

Jade walked in. "What brings you here? The date?"

"Well..." Blushing gives it all away. 

"What do we have?" Jade walked over.

"Some dresses over the years and I have no idea where to begin. I was thinking the first black one." Jade goes through a few maid outfits and then a black dress that seems old fashioned. Not prude or modest, but old fashioned. "So what do you think?"

"Grayfia, look at yourself. He has seen you in your black and white every day. Do something different. Be sexy. Make yourself known. Change your lipstick. Try some different perfume. What are you doing?"

Grayfia sighed. "Overthinking I suppose."

"Stand up. Let's go. We got a half hour to pick things out and less than a half hour to execute. We need hair, makeup, and-" Jade looked over at Grayfia's legs. "You have the nicest legs in this manor. Don't wear them tonight."

"Okay then..." I know this isn't Mya or Kayla but what for the love of decency have I gotten myself into. 

~~~~~

Jade did all of the work herself. Grayfia's hair in two braids, a slight purple eyeshadow, and pale pink lipstick. To compliment, a yukata. This is something Grayfia thought was for festival time. She looked into the mirror and was unsure.

"Jade?"

"Yes lady of the hour?"

"I don't know about this. You think (FN) is into this?"

"He's into you. And he likes effort. Be yourself and allow yourself to be open. Jack's Knight is all yours." Jade wanted her friend to have some confidence. Something for her to not think but act natural. She is meeting a guy that is very interested into her and all she has to do is pretty much smile and go along. Rather easy for most. But not her.

"Hopefully I remember this kiss." Grayfia got up and went to the door. "Dinner is nearly over. Correct?"

"Start now. They got it." Jade went to the door.

"And Jade?"

"Yes?"

"Sir Luigi is kindly looking for you."

"Bambina is coming mister stache." She closed the door on her way out.

Grayfia giggled. Might as well enjoy myself. It's not so much the man as it is being appreciated. So handsome and can get any girl he wants. He says he isn't settling for me. Good to know at that.

Dinner was finished as Rias was happy about tonight. "A sleepover with Akeno in the tower and the boy's have dates. Good dinner and it's grand."

"Dates?" Pondered Sirzechs.

"Pardon me Jack." Grayfia walked over and bowed to you. "Am I early."

You smiled. "Nope." Standing up quickly and taking her hand. "Thank you everyone. We shall be off for a bit."

"Who's the other?" Asked Sirzechs.

"Ara-ara." Jade in the corner of the dining room leaned into Luigi's shoulder.

"Venelana, may we meet in the study?" Asked Zeoticus.

"Surely." Now the married couple in the room got up due to plans. Now the only one left was Sirzechs. Though he wasn't alone.

"Master?" Rina blushed. 

"Rina?" Sirzechs looked over.

"Would you-" Nervous. He knew it as well. "Like to-" She shut her eyes. "Dance?"

"I'd be honored." He stood up and held her hand. "Allow me to escort you to the ballroom."

Just like that four couples had left the dining room without another word. The men and lady of the house, their son and a date, his friend and a potential lover, and a maid and a butler having good tastes and morals. Here while the thots of the manor were in the laundry room sorting through coloreds, whites, dedicates, and even the hand-wash items. Lucky, they missed all of it.

You walked outside with Grayfia on your arm to breath the warm nightly air. Onto the back patio and making your way to the garden. The moon was glowing and the lighting nearby gave the area a vibrant and peaceful setting. Nearly as a beautiful attraction. A black duck flew by the bird bath to take a drink before flying off as now it was just the two of you. 

"Just the two of us and nothing to hide. Only us." You turn to her.

"Yes." Grayfia turned her body to you.

"I hope you know how beautiful you look tonight Grayfia. I really am stunned."

"Jade helped me. I wasn't sure. I sat in front of the mirror stressed out and how I would impress you."

"I thought I should be doing so. If you had the freedom or being anywhere you choose a man could easily want to get to know you and treat you as royalty. This pretty yukata or not that face says it all. I love your eyes. That came first."

"I haven't had a comment on them ever." She hugged you. "So grand. I really want to know Jack."

"Tell me anything." You hope it's something that can make this better for good.

"Would you love me even if I'm difficult?"

"I crush you hard already. Come here." This time you lock lips with her and you feel it. Not that you want to back away. Not any regret or holding back. You genuinely kiss her and wait for her.

"I love you."

"I love you too Grayfia."

Now I am doing the time skip next chapter. HOWEVER, I have a way of going back to the prequel. And if you're a writer out there the answer is one key. A child. You'll see.
