Issei was lying on the ground, his hair was moved by the wind, and little by little he entered into his dreams.
DREAM OF ISSEI.
Issei opened his eyes, everything was white, that white was infinite, no matter where he sees everything was white, he was alone in that white, this gave him a feeling of tranquility and peace, but for a moment all the space changed shape, all the white went, and a floor of white ceramic tiles appeared, white walls and a blue line, and a smell of alcohol, seeing all this he looked and was sitting in an old chair, he knew he was in a hospital, but he did in a hospital.
He just waited, what happened, so that he was here, but from the wall on the left something began to illuminate the sound, he saw in that direction was a projector of a cinema, then images began to appear in front, issei did not pay attention until I heard a voice calling him.
????: Issei, no running - said a voice that Issei knew.
Issei felt his sight, and the images that received him were, a man chasing a baby who was running around, that man was no one but his father, this was his memory, but he could not remember anything of when he was a baby, because that was impossible, but there was his little self running around being followed by his father.
Issei: Ah, yes, that's Gorou - with a sad tone.
Issei knew it did not matter that his appreciation, the feelings that he had towards his parents disappeared there was still this feeling of betrayal, sad that does not matter when he got angry that sadness did not disappear, but grew uncontrollably, that was what he felt, he was trying to suppress all the sadness, anger and more. But that did not signify that it did not hurt, it did, he felt that his heart died. He did not let it come out, but he already failed, once with Saji, another with his "parents", this was bad, he was like a bag with water. Once he has a hole, all the water came out, something that he tried to avoid every second.
Issei, while he felt many things, he kept watching the movie or memory, passed all his first years, as he grew up, when he met Irina, but everything began to darken when Irina left, that was a blow for the boy of the movie, but for Issei, what he saw was that his parents hardly cared about the condition of their son, they just said that everything is fine and to just go play. Why was that, because they did not pay attention to him, because they did not console him, because they did not play with him, all they did was to be with him superficially, they barely supported him, they barely paid attention to him. As Issei saw this, his blood began to boil, what happened with them, because he never realized this, they hardly imposed something of what he did when he was young, but the movie came to the moment that Issei knew changed his whole life, and that was to meet that old pervert.
Issei saw his young self become a pervert, but nobody stopped him, it didn't matter that he bought magazines, games, that his face was perverted almost all day, but nobody corrected him, nobody stopped him, because of that the Issei of the present is hurting and it makes him angry to see himself. He knew what was going through his younger mind and that was maybe he could get the attention of others, he knew when he started with all this perversion, he was just sad, he was looking for attention, he was looking for someone to fill Irina's place, that was all, but everything was changing, and he was forgetting.
Issei was repressing all his anger, all this happens, everything happened because they didn't give him attention, he fell into this hole of perversion, betrayal, anger, sadness, everything because they couldn't stop him, nobody gave him a stop, it was difficult, difficult to sit with him and talk, it wasn't better to tell him to just leave it behind, but it was easy to punish him. It was easier to let him do what he wanted, but it was too difficult to give him attention. It was difficult, these were the words that were repeated over and over again, hundreds, if not thousands or millions or billions sometimes but it was all the same, it was all the fault of something that happened when I was a child.
Everything happened because of his sadness, everything happened because of his stupidity, those were Issei's thoughts, until he heard something that broke him again.
Gorou: Issei, stop being a pervert, you are a disgrace - becoming annoyed.
Issei saw Gorou directly, was really it was all his fault, well no.
Issei: SHUT UP, NOT EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT!! EVERYTHING IS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DO THEIR DAMN JOB AS PARENTS AS THEY SHOULD, EVERYTHING WAS THAT PERVERT'S FAULT, EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING..... I'M NOT TO BLAME!!! - getting up from the chair, a fire started, everything was quickly burning.
Issei: BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO ME, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T HERE, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T STOP ME BECAUSE NOBODY HELPED ME, BECAUSE, BECAUSE... - as the flames spread throughout the room.
Issei: BECAUSE YOU SIDED WITH THOSE BITCHES AND NOT YOUR SON!!! BECAUSE THEY HATE ME, BECAUSE THEY DISGUST ME, BECAUSE I'M NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU, BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT ME INTO THIS WORLD, YOU RAISED ME, YOU DIDN'T HELP ME, YOU BETRAYED ME, YOU...... - screaming uncontrollably, but the image changed to another.
The image was of him on Gorou's shoulders, then it changed again. It was of Miki feeding him, and it changed again, now it was of him smiling at the two of them.
Issei sat down again and breathed, then all the fire was cooling down, and in the end, it disappeared.
Issei saw those images, those were moments from his early years, then he spent all his best moments, and he just sighed.
Issei: Ahh... I can't handle this, I can't keep hating my past, since this is the one that made me what I am, it's the one that helped me to be in sad, difficult, funny situations, of all kinds, and thanks to that I met people who hurt me and also people who support me - raising his hand forward.
All the liquid on the floor went to the screen and the projector, and they froze.
Issei got up and walked over to the ice, and kicked it.
Issei: You know what they say:
WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY MARKS YOU TODAY, AND WHAT HAPPENED TODAY MARKS TOMORROW
Note: This is a quote from the other author, TheHollow2005
Issei just sat down again in silence, time passed quietly in that place but from one moment to another a beep was heard. Consecutively from his right and when he saw he was surprised.
Issei is seeing himself lying on a bed, surrounded by all the girls, Issei noticed and what was making the noise was a machine to see his heart rate.
Issei saw the window where the light was coming from, that means it was daytime, but from one moment to another it was night, and he turned back to the girls but realized that Gabriel was missing, Penemue, then he did it again during the day, and again at night but now they were missing, Le Fay, Ravel, Xenovia, and it was repeated day, night and only a week had passed, and Issei was in bed alone with no one, he was only accompanied by the sound of the machines around you.
Issei just smiled and walked towards himself.
Issei: Ha, only a week, who would say - being next to the bed, but he started to disappear.
Issei: Oh, it's time to go.
But, before he disappeared, he heard a voice well known to him, and when he saw it was Rias next to Vali.
Rias: I hope that someday you wake up but meanwhile, I'll do this, but I don't regret it since you would do the same - proceeding to kiss Vali.
And seeing that Issei disappeared.
IN REALITY.
Issei opened his eyes slowly, and he could hear a voice.
????: ISE-CHAN, ISE-CHAN, PLEASE WAKE UP - a girl with black hair, blue eyes, a long sleeved, dark green blouse, a long navy blue skirt and dark brown boots was calling to him.
Issei: I'm awake now, Sera-chan - sitting up from the ground.
Note: Serafall's eyes are blue in the light novel, so it's what I'm going with, same with Grayfia and her red eyes.
Issei saw the sky and noticed that it was already night, how long was he asleep for it to be night, but he just sighed.
Serafall: Ise-chan, are you ok? - touching Issei's cheek.
Issei: Yes, just calm down... I was sleeping - putting his hand on Serafall's hand, holding it against his cheek, caressing it.
Serafall: That's good, but everything is ready - with a serious face, removing her hand from Issei's cheek.
Issei: Ahh..well - getting up from the ground.
Serafall: But I have to tell you that the Riser is coming, it seems that he found out and wanted to come.
Issei: Oh, I made the yakitori go, well, there's no problem - remaining calm, but serious at the same time.
Serafall: Well, it's better that we go - making a magic circle.
Issei: Yeah.
Issei: 'Okay, time to get it out again' - as he disappeared in the magic circle with Serafall.
THE END.
