In Too Deep (Rias X Reader)

Tears Don't Fall

I couldn't sleep all night. My mind was so scrambled by what happened. It really hit me though. I fell for Rias, and seemingly she fell for me. I don't know why but it seems right. I'm dreading seeing Serafall mainly because there's no easy way to tell her this. It would be wrong of me to continue this in secret.

"Y/N, are you awake," I hear at the door. I look at the time and realize that it's almost time for school to start for everyone.

"Yeah, I'm up." Akeno walks in and she sits at the edge of the bed. She puts her hand on my leg and smiles at me.

"Are you okay? Rias told me you and Serafall got into a fight once the summit was over. I wanted to come check on you and make sure you were going to be okay." I look away from her. Hearing Rias' name made me think about what was going on. I know I can't tell anyone, especially not her best friend.

"I don't know Akeno. My mind is all over the place, and I really don't know what to do. The last couple of weeks Serafall and I seemed to be drifting apart. I'm worried about it." Akeno comes closer to me and ushers me to sit up. I do as she asks and she starts rubbing my shoulders, which feels amazing.

"You feel tense Y/N. How long have you and Serafall been engaged?"

"About a year," I whisper not knowing if anyone else is here. "We dated for two years before that. When we first met it was amazing. We clicked perfectly. It seemed like we had been made for each other, but now I don't even want to see her. I'm worried about what else she has to say about me. It was my decision for us to take time away, but the more I've thought about it I don't even know if I want to be with her anymore."

"Tell her that then Y/N. I can tell what's going on with you." My heart starts racing. "Your heart is in a different place." It starts beating faster. I'm worried she figured Rias and I out. "You found you really liked being around all of us, and you don't want to leave."

I exhale, "Yeah, that's it."

She continues. "Think about it. You've become a mentor to Gasper. Everyone else really likes you too. You're not a devil, you don't have magic like me or Rias. You know what you do have though? You have a desire to help people. Who is Serafall to try to keep you from that?"

I think about her words and respond. "Exactly. I feel like I could be a better mentor to all of you. Help you control your power and train you all. Having Sona's house here too gives me more people to help as well. You all are the future of devil kind. Sona and Rias are both heiresses and they need proper guidance. I may not be the best teacher, but I think I can help." I made up most of that, but it was still true. Any chance I can help these people I would.

Akeno stands up and I smile to her. "Thank you Akeno. I'm happy we had this conversation. I'm going to tell Serafall all of that, and if she doesn't like it then that's on her." Akeno smiles back.

"That's great Y/N! You don't have to be locked to her all the time. You deserve to be with someone who will be happy with you even if they stay busy and have a desire to help others." If only she knew I mainly would stay for Rias. I stand up and Akeno opens her arms, and I pull her into a hug.

"This feels nice Y/N. Serafall will miss this for sure." We giggle and head out into the main club room. I see Rias and she smiles at me as well.

"How are you feeling Y/N? Did you end up getting any sleep last night?" I shake my head. I don't know how much she told Akeno, but I'm sure she left out the part of visiting me last night.

"I was nervous, but Akeno just told me what I needed to hear. I'm gonna call your brother and have him take me to talk to Serafall now." She stands up and comes to hug me like Akeno did. I accept her embrace and feel my face heat up. We break apart and I pull out my phone.
