Y/N POV
"Man the crowd really loves you Issei" Kiba said as he was drying off his hair after performing the Grabbin Dragon show with the others
Y/N walked in "HAHA THAT WAS AWESOME! ME AND THE KIDS LOVED IT! HAHA"
"YOU SHUT UP!" Issei yelled at Y/N "Besides, only the little kids and Y/N cheered for me, but all the fine ass mamacitas in the crowd were totally creamin their pants when you got up on stage"
"Could you imagine if Y/N was up there with me?" Kiba jokingly said as he was laughing with Y/N who walked over and put a arm on Kibas shoulder
"Mommas would've gone crazy, we are the most attractive duo in the underworld to be fair" Y/N said as he fixed up sunglasses and laughed with Kiba
"Well I gotta give it to Sirzechs, this whole thing has gotten really popular" Kiba said as they heard a loud knock at the door and in walked Irina
"Aw shit." Y/N said in a low tone "I'll be with Akeno if you guys need me."
Y/N quickly walked out and bumped Irina in her shoulder
"Rude." Irina said as she watched Y/N walk away
"Still not made amends yet? Come you two had something cute going on what the hell?" Issei asked
"Agreed, you guys should just get over it" Kiba said "And if you're going to bring up what he did with the HERO faction, then don't bother. We've all gotten over it and you should too Irina"
"I know but it's different when it's someone you like or even love. If he really did feel the same then he wouldn't have done what he did and stuck with us to protect us" Irina said placing a hand on her heart and looking down
"I think you should consider what he said, he was protecting you, just in a different way that you haven't accepted yet. We have but I think you need to reflect on it" Kiba said with a stern look at Irina
"I guess, anyways Issei could you help me with this?" Irina asked
"With what?"
"Just come here!"
Issei POV
Issei was struggling to help Irina fit into her dress for the next show, but the fact that her chest was too big made it hard for him to zip up the back fully
"Alright then, suck everything!" Issei said as he forcefully zipped up the back of Irinas dress, cause it to rip completely in the front, exposing her chest completely and also causing Irina to fall onto Issei
"This must be a sign from God! I'll have the Red Dragon Emperors baby! This'll be like the time on Noah's Ark!" Irina exclaimed
"Uhhhhh except maybe we're not on an Ark" Issei nervously said
"OH HOLY ANGEL MOLY!" Issei said as Irina got on top of Issei
"Take me Issei!" Irina said
"Stop right there!" Xenovia yelled out as she burst into the room
Y/N POV
"She still has issues with me or whatever. I just wish Irina would get over it you know?" Y/N said as he rested his head on Akeno's couch in her changing room for the show
"Don't worry about it Y/N, I'm sure she'll get over it soon. Just give it time" Akeno said as she walked behind Y/N and looked down at him and hugged him from behind "Besides, I've gotten over our issues and look at us, good friends now"
"Yeah you're right. To think we had a thing for a little and it all went into flames because you were indecisive" Y/N said as he looked into Akenos eyes and smiled
"I'll always feel bad about toying around with your heart Y/N. I will say though you look good in dress shirts, maybe you should wear them more often~" Akeno said with a smirk and sat herself right next to Y/N on the couch
"Thanks Akeno, maybe I will" Y/N and Akeno looked into each other's eyes for a second began closing the gap between the two, clearly they were both going in for a kiss but subconsciously until eventually they heard a bunch of yelling and snapped out of it
"What the?" Y/N asked as he got up and walked to Irinas room where all the commotion was happening with Akeno following behind. He saw a sight he wish he hadn't seen at all
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Y/N yelled out
"Hey no fair! You all got to Issei without telling me!" Akeno exclaimed as exposed her chest and got on top of Issei and started fighting with the other girls topless
"RIAS! THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN!" Y/N shouted in disgust
Rias walked in and was immediately pissed off "WHAT IS GOING ON?"
Issei looked up nervously "hehe, uhhh wrestling?"
"YOU GIRLS HAVE EXACTLY 5 SECONDS TO CLEAR THIS ROOM!"
The girls quickly got up and ran out of the room
"I swear." Rias said as she facepalmed and looked at Y/N "Thank you for calling me over Y/N, I owe you one"
"Anytime Rias" The 3 walked out of the room and went their separate ways
Issei POV
"I guess actors really do get all the chicks" Issei said as he was walking to his room
"NO FAIR! YOU SAID WERE GONNA GET TO MEET THEM!" Issei heard a little boy cry out
Issei opened the door that lead to the outside and saw a little boy crying
"I WANNA SEE THE GRABBIN DRAGON AND THE HONORED ONE! YOU PROMISED!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm afraid we've already sold out of the meet-n-greet and autograph spots for this evening" The man that was guarding the doors to the show said
"How unfortunate. Looks like they're out of tickets, honey. We'll have to try again another day" The boys mom said to him
"NO FAIR! BUT I WANNA SEE THEM TODAY! YOU PROMISED ME!" The little boy cried out
Issei came walking over in his dragon armor "What's goin on?"
"It's the Grabbin Dragon! You're so cool!" The little boy excitedly exclaimed
"Mr.Hyoudou, I'm sorry." The guard said
"What's your name buddy?" Issei asked
"It's Lirenkus!" The little boy responded
"Ah cool name bro! I'm psyched that you and your mom came out to see me today." Issei said as he signed the little boys hat "Listen, real men don't throw fits, okay? You gotta be super strong and protect your mom."
"Kay!"
"Here" Issei said as he gave back the boy his hat
"Awesome! Thanks so much, Mr. Grabbin Dragon, sir! Where's The Honored One?" The little boy asked
"The Honored One?" Issei asked in confusion
Suddenly Y/N appeared behind Issei
"Did I hear someone call my name or am I just thinking things?" Y/N looked at the boy and his mother with a smile
"WOAH IT'S YOU Y/N L/N! THE HONORED ONE!" The boy exclaimed in happiness and hugged Y/N
"Haha, so I've got a nickname huh?" Y/N looked down at the boy as he stepped back
"Yeah! Although you're not in the show, everyone wants you to be in it! They're all calling you the honored one!" The boys face brightened even more, seeing this warmed Y/Ns heart and made him happy
"Well then, I think it's only fair if I gave you something to keep that'll remind you of The Honored One, Issei let me see that marker?" Y/N asked Issei
"Sure thing" Issei said as he handed Y/N the marker
"You can have my very own sunglasses, I've had these since I found out about my powers and not only that but the woman I love dearly gave them to me, so keep it safe for me will ya? It'll be safer with you than me in battle" Y/N kneeled down on the kids eye level
"YOU GOT IT!" The kids face brightened even more and had a widened smile
Y/N signed the glasses in a small corner of the lenses and handed them to him "What's your name kiddo?"
"It's Lirenkus!"
"Alright then Lirenkus, next time try to understand that your mom tried her best okay? Sometimes things don't always go our way. Sadly my mom isn't here anymore so do your best to help your mom and enjoy her efforts and company okay? Also try to not throw a fit alright?"
"Sure thing! Thank you so much!" Lirenkus laughed happily as he put on Y/Ns sunglasses
Y/N stood back up and looked at the boys mother and smiled "Thanks for bring your son out here ma'am, you made my day bringing him. Had I known that you guys didn't get tickets in time, I would've brought some out"
"You're far too kind Honored One. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to meet my son. I appreciate it so much!" The mother smiled "You're also even more handsome in person I must say. That lady of yours is extremely lucky to love such a handsome gentleman"
"Thank you ma'am, I hope you all have a good day now, be good for your mom for me okay Lirenkus?" Y/N looked at the boy and gave a thumbs up
"Sure thing!"
As the boy and his mother were walking out, they turned one last time to thank the two
"Mr.Hyoudou and Mr.L/N, please don't do spontaneous things like that in the future. It's simply impossible to accommodate every single child who comes through here. And quite frankly, it sets a bad precedent." The guard looked at the 2
"Ah yeah I guess you're right" Issei sheepishly responded
"Sorry about that, kid just reminded me of myself growing up." Y/N added
"Please return to your rooms you two. It's late and I'm sure they'll call you for dinner soon" The guard replied
As Issei and Y/N were walking back Issei spoke up
"The Honored One huh?"
"Yeah, pretty cool nickname huh?" Y/N asked as he looked at Issei
"Yeah man, so are you Akeno a thing cause I'm pretty sure she gave you those glasses and you said that it was from the woman you loved" Issei asked confused
"We're not but I do love Akeno, it's whatever though I don't have time to worry about any of that stuff right now." Y/N said as he opened the door for Issei and him to go back inside
"Damn, sorry man" Issei said as he looked to the ground
"Don't sweat it. I'm doing this to make you guys proud and now sure as hell to make those kids happy too. I'm gonna go lay down in Xenovias room so you just call me if anything alright?" Y/N walked away as Issei looked at him
Y/N POV
*Knock* *Knock*
"Come in!" Xenovia called out
Y/N slowly opened the door and walked in, closing it on his way in
"Y/N!" Xenovia looked a little shocked
"Hey Xenovia, how are ya doing?"
"I'm doing quite alright. How's it going with you and Irina"
"Complicated, love is so confusing. Bleh"
"I know Y/N, just give it some time and you'll be alright. Stay strong for me yeah?"
"I will I will"
*Knock* *Knock*
"Come in!" Xenovia and Y/N said in sync
Rias walked in "Oh, I didn't think you were in here Y/N, perfect anyways I need to talk to you. Xenovia can we get some time alone?"
"Sure thing" Xenovia replied as she walked out
"What's up Rias?" Y/N asked curiously"
"Well 2 things, 1st off, I'm proud of you Y/N."
"Oh really? Wait how much of that interaction did you see?" Y/N asked nervously
"Just enough to be impressed" Rias replied sitting next to Y/N
"ahhh, sorry. It was nothing special though" Y/N said sheepishly looking down
"On the contrary I think it was special to him" Rias said as she used her finger to pull your chin facing her
"You think so?" Y/N asked
"Mhm. Maybe we should get you a meet and greet, so many of the children were asking to meet you since they saw you in the crowd cheering Issei on. Not only the kids but high ranking devils are all calling you the Honored One. A nickname handed down from grandfather"
"Oh, sick" Y/N said chuckling
"Another thing is that I want to ask you a question or well a couple"
"What's up?"
"I don't think Issei seems to see that I have feelings for him. I'd say I've made it pretty obvious but I just need someone to confirm with me. I don't want to tell any of the girls and I highly doubt Kiba or Gasper would understand"
"I think you have Rias, I'd say you'd be his #1 girl. I can see what you mean and yeah, I don't think he's realized but I wouldn't sweat it Rias. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be fine. Trust me."
"Thank you Y/N" Rias said as she hugged you formally "Now the other thing I wanted to ask is what's going on with you and Akeno? Irina too."
"Sheesh I don't know Rias, me and Akeno seem to have a on and off thing and with Irina, I don't know. I don't think she sees me as a lover anymore. Ah who am I kidding I'm hard to love anyways" Y/N said looking down at the ground and clenching his fists
Rias pulled you into a hug and put your face into her chest
"Don't say that Y/N. You're an extremely handsome guy with an amazing personality. I think it's just some traumas you need to move out of the way and allow yourself to be a little vulnerable to them. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I do Rias, I do. Thank you"
"Of course, I'm sure Akeno will come to her senses soon and Irina will get over whatever it is she's upset about. After all, at the party with my older brother and all the higher ups, all the girls were fawning over you right?" Rias said with a smile as Y/N looked up at her
"Haha, you're right about that. Thanks Rias, I appreciate it"
"Now, what are we going to do about your eyes? I thought it was cute to give that boy your glasses but you need them" Rias said as she stood up
"I'll find something" Y/N said "Don't worry"
Suddenly in came a little boy and a tall woman with brown hair
"Mother, Millicas. How nice to see you" Rias said as she turned to the people who walked in
"Heya Rias! Wait, ARE YOU Y/N L/N? THE HONORED ONE?" Millicas said with a huge smile
"That's me" Y/N said as he got up
Millicas ran and hugged Y/N around his waist and backed up "You're so cool Y/N! I've seen some of your fights and how you worked with Issei, don't tell him but I think you're the coolest one in Rias's peerage!"
"He's not in my peerage Millicas, he's a good friend of mine that likes to help me. Remember?" Rias asked
"Ohhhh yeah, still you're the coolest one in Rias's friend group!"
"Thanks buddy, I appreciate that" Y/N said as he ruffled Millicas hair and smiled
"Thank you for helping my daughter out Y/N. We owe you a lot, I'm sincerely sorry about your parents as I never got to formally apologize to you in a proper conversation. I knew your mother very well and she was a joy. I hope you continue to help Rias and support our family. The children and adults of the underworld love you." Rias's mother hugged Y/N
"Thank you Ma'am, I miss them everyday but I do this to make them proud. As long as I make you and Mr. Gremory proud then I know I've made my parents proud"
"Thank you, though I'd really prefer you call me something other than Mrs. Gremory. After all, I've watched you grow up since you were little. How does mother sound?" Rias's mom asked
"That's totally okay with me mother" Y/N smiled
"Very well then, Me and Millicas will be on our way now. Thank you Y/N for helping us and please, if you're ever in a situation with how you were in the HERO faction. Do not hesitate to let us know. We value you dearly Y/N"
"Of course. See ya around Millicas" Y/N said as he highfived Millicas who walked out with his mom
"MOM? ARE YOU SERIOUS Y/N?" Rias asked as soon as her family were out the door
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? SHE REUQESTED IT!"Y/N shouted back
"Fine fine. You're right. Well, we should probably head home and start prepping for the school festival. There's still a lot that needs to be sorted out" Rias said as she walked out
Timeskip to the next day
"Yeah, it seems like the bishop form takes forever to charge up your dragon shot, however it sounds corny but we could use teamwork to help you" Kiba said as he watched Xenovia and Rossweisse battle it out in training
"Yeah for sure, that way I won't have to worry about all that bobbing and weaving crap while I charge up" Issei said as he munched down on a rice ball for a snack "I can only shoot a couple before I blow my whole load"
Y/N appeared behind Kiba and Issei "Blow your what now?"
"AH Y/N, DON'T CREEP UP ON US LIKE THAT" Issei shouted as he jumped back and dropped his rice ball "AW BALLS LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID NOW"
"Oh shut up, besides why use teamwork when I can just finish them off in one move?" Y/N said as he smirked and crushed Issei's rice ball that was on the ground
"So arrogant Y/N, you really have changed" Kiba shook his head as he tried not to laugh
"Whatttttt, that's just me. I mean when you're the best you're allowed to act like you're the best no?" Y/N asked as he took off his new pair of sunglasses to wipe them and fix them up before putting them back on his face
"You would be if you could take on Sairaorg" Issei mumbled under his breath as he was sad about his rice ball that Y/N destroyed
"What was that?" Y/N asked half annoyed
"Issei's right, Sairaorg is extremely powerful and although you're also super strong Y/N, probably the strongest one out of all of us. I'm not sure as to how you would match up against him right now. Now if you did master your powers then there's no doubt that you'd destroy him" Kiba replied as he put his hand to his mouth, studying how Xenovia was practicing her fighting style
Ravel came walking over and jumped on Y/N's back "You know it's just an idea but how about instead of a dragon shot, you make it look like one but in reality it's just a transfer to your allies? Not only that but you can put Y/N in front of Issei to protect him with his infinity as I'm sure Y/N could expand the range of it"
"That's a great idea!" The 3 boys exclaimed in unison
Rias came walking over and looked at the 4 "While yes I agree that it's a good idea, there's 2 things that are stopping us from achieving that, 1st off Y/N won't be able to participate in the rating game with us sadly, otherwise we'd for sure win"
"Awwww thanks Rias" Y/N smiled
"2nd, we may have some trouble with the game rules, it won't be a concern as long as it's a team battle. Sairaorg stated previously he would like to accept all of our powers variously in a single fight. The higher ups have approved this request, and because of those particular concessions I believe they'll make special rules for the match."
"Special rules huh? Like what?" Issei asked curiously
"To start, they intend to hold the rating game inside a floating city which is over in the domain in the floating Arch Duke Agards family, and they're planning to invite a rather large audience so that probably means they're not expecting it to be a very long battle. The rating game is just another form of entertainment. So naturally there will be some catering to fans." Rias replied
"She's right about that, in fact your game has attracted quite a bit of attention, you're kinda famous, especially Y/N" Ravel said as she got off Y/Ns back
"Wadda mean?" Y/N asked curiously, no way a human like him is popular in the underworld right?
"Just look at this, they started a # to allow you to join in on the rating game it's the number 1 hashtag on Underworld Twitter" Ravel said excitedly as she pulled her phone out and showed everyone
#LETTHEHONOREDONEPARTICPATEINTHERATINGGAME
"Oh wow, that's pretty impressive Y/N, I'm sure everyone is amazed by the display of power you show. Not only that but your arrogance in battle is quite humorous" Akeno spoke up and giggled as she hugged Y/N from behind
"THAT'S SO COOL! Well, I'll be sure to give them something to laugh at during the Press Conference Rias" Y/N looked at Rias and smiled
"I sure hope so, you never fail to make any of us laugh" Rias replied with a chuckle
"ALRIGHT THEN GUYS! IT'S TIME TO NUT UP OR SHUT UP AND DO THIS THING AND START TRAINING!" Issei exclaimed
"Sorry, but it's too late for training today." Rias said as she burst Isseis bubble "We have a press conference tomorrow. We have to be careful we don't overdo it. After all, it's important that we look good for the cameras"
"WAIT THAT'S TOMORROW?" Y/N asked excitedly
"Sure is honey, I'm sure you know all about being on cameras huh?" Akeno asked
"NO BUT I'M READY!" Y/N excitedly responded
"Wait, when you say cameras..." Issei said as he trailed off on his last words
"Yes, silly, you're going to be on TV. Try not to do anything stupid, especially you Y/N" Rias said as she pointed at Y/N who in response shot his arms up as if she was point a gun at him
ALRIGHT GUYS that's another chapter down, looks like we're nearing the end of season 4. I wonder how Y/N will do at the press conference. This'll be a very fun chapter to write and I'm excited to wrap this up so we can start our own parts of the story. Hope you all enjoyed a little slice of life in this chapter and some character development for Y/N. I'll start on the other chapter right after I publish this and try to get it out tonight. See ya'll!
