Chapter 55 : Euclid died

It took a few minutes for her to get her breath back before sitting up, but she was almost sent into another laughing rage as she saw Issei face that was red from embarrassment and had a pout which she found extremely cute.

"S-s-sorry I didn't laugh that way in almost decade. Sorry, Ise." She said still collecting her breath as she was now red from the laughing with a beautiful smile that made Issei's blush even worst.

"It's fine, as long as you have that smile you can laugh at me all you want." He told her sincerely as it was her turn to become red from his words.

"As I was saying I was only interested in porn and perverted stuff before I was asked out on a date that would change my life.

As that date was ending, the girl that ask me out turned out to be a Fallen Angel that was on a mission to murder me. After she did just that, Rias Gremory swooped up and revived me turning me into her Pawn.

Though later when we raided the Church, I found out from the Fallen Angel that killed me no less that Rias knew her plans of it, and she let me die so that she can use me to get free from a marriage agreement with Riser Phenex, thought after me raiding the engagement party I was able to beat him and free Rias.

But at first, I was against it as we lost a game against him. Though when Grayfia told me about you I knew that there was something about you that felt similar to me.

We lost something important to us, you with your brother while I lost my freedom and humanity. So I made a deal with Grayfia.

I will help you break free from your depression and your sadness in exchange she will help me go up the ranks and will I would finally be free from Rias."

Issei said getting Lucy to look down thinking he was just like everyone else.

"Though when I saw you, and how you behaved when Grayfia left, I could tell that what you did in her presence was a very good mask and that you were also hurting even more inside.

That's what gave me resolve to help you no matter the cost. Can't have that beautiful face not having a real smile on."

Issei told her honestly with a sad face as he lowered his head looking at the floor, as he knew that there was nothing wrong in telling her, though he was surprised at what she did.

Lucy hearing his story had a sad look on her face that was replaced with the look of pure rage as she heard what Rias did.

Though how he finished it made her have a bright red blush that he thankfully didn't see. She could understand what it was to lose something important.

Though Issei didn't lose his family, he lost something also very important. He lost a big part of himself.

He lost his freedom and his humanity that from the looks of it he really held in high regard so to make him feel a little better she did what she thought would cheer him up.

She stood up and walked around the table towards him while Issei was looking down.

He didn't see her getting closer to him and eventually hugging him from behind making him go red as his armor and her warm breath that he felt only made him even more redder.

"Issei, I can somewhat understand how you feel. You cherished your humanity and what Rias did. If it happened to me I would have killed her ten times over by now.

It looks like you have an incredible will to suppress your hatred and work up the ladder." She softly told him as he slowly turned around to look at her eyes that finNally showed some emotions.

"Lucy." Was all that Issei could say as he was mesmerized by her beauty and being this near her was like he was contempt.

"Now then Issei, I think it's time you heard my story. It's only fair since you told me yours." Lucy told him as she released the hug that made Issei want to protest but he kept that inside of him.

As Lucy returned back in her seat, she took a moment collecting herself before looking directly into Issei's eyes.

Issei could practically feel that what she was about to tell him was something that was a very very sour subject and that it was still something that was hurting her a lot.

"Lucy, if you are not ready to tell me I can wait. Like I said, I have all the time of this world and I will be here with you until you are ready. Okay?" He told her gently it was his turn to hug her, getting her eyes to go wide at his words.

Lucy slowly turned around in his hug and hugged him back while putting her head on his shoulder as she started to sob uncontrollably as it turned out, her emotions were hitting an all-time high.

She thought she had cried all the tears she had on that day when Euclid died, she was now proven wrong.

As Lucy was crying into his shoulder, Issei did the only thing he could in this situation.

He just caressed her long silver hair that was as soft as silk and was smelling like fresh flowers that made him hug her a little more tightly, as her tears were soaking his shirt even more, but he didn't care at all.

All that was important to him was to let Lucy release all that pent-up emotions that were inside of her.

After more than 10 minutes, Lucy finally stopped crying as she weakly lifted her face from his shoulder to see him looking at her with a smile that made her heart skip a bit and her face to adore a beautiful red color as she felt his hand run down her hair.
