Issei saw Rias expression knowing that his word had been a huge impact to her relations to him. He doesn't want to act forceful as if she knows everything about her which he does.

He still knew the current rias in front her isn't the same in the future therefore he can't always used the past life as based on how she would react to his words.

However, Issei would do his best to be in her heart one again like in his past life. He felt indebted for failing to save her in his past life that cause him to clench his fist.

"Well since you're here I have task for you."

Issei awaken from his deep thought once he heard Rias voice. He still can't remove the feeling of trauma when face with his lovers.

"What is it, buchou?"

"Theirs client that seem to request of two people, man and woman. I wondering if you can accompanying me in this one?"

"Oh sure I'm happy to come with you, Buchou!"

Rias stood up from her chair and approach Issei which cause her to noticed him becoming more handsome and well build compare to few days ago.

"Have you been training? You seem to have becoming more muscular?"

"Yeah, Irene been telling to train since I needed to 'dominate' this other dragon….what was its name again?"

"The White Dragon Empress, Albion?"

"Yeah, that's right! I need to grow strong to fight that person though I'm not doing this for that but also fight for you guys especially you buchou."

His words once again pierces her heart making her more interested Issei. Rias was happy that her Pawn was training so hard despite not being told do so. Moreover, the progress could be seen as Issei was exuding a Middle-class devil aura. Issei made sure to hid his true-based aura being that of an E-ranked Super-class devil.

"I'm glad you're working hard, Issei. Maybe if you keep this up I'll let you touch me breast."

"Yes Buchou!"

Rias giggled as Issei excitedly said knowing it would make her laugh and forget about that fried chicken. They proceeded to create teleportation circle of Gremory. Issei unconsciously held Rias surprising her but didn't let go as within her wanted it.

Their vision change as they were in a a self made photography studio with cheep lightning and back dropped. Issei could already guess what the request would be.

"Are you devil I've summon? I was wondering if I could ask you to be my model?"

Walking up to them was woman seem to be slightly older than them with short brown hair and camera attach around her neck.

"Oh right my name's Max Caulfield or just call me Max."

"So you're a foreigner?"

"Yes I've recently move here since my girlfriend wanted to us move here."

"Wait your into girls?"

"Yeah got problem with that?"

"Ah sorry I'm just surprised that all."

"Well I gotten use to it and I don't care people think since I love her but enough about my personal life. I heard you'd do anything?"

Rias took her client words into heart and turn to Issei who was the only man that interest her. She didn't want to be end up to someone who force to marry her and wanted to find her soulmate while not caring about what people think.

Their client took them to a table to discuss the request. She went grabbed a coffee to offer but decline as they began to discuss the request.

"So tell the reason why you requested two people this time?"

"Well it's because we had project about getting forbidden love as the theme and was wondering if I could take a picture of you?"

"That's easy enough? Do you need see our devil wings?"

"Yeah I was wonder if she can be the devil while you're the human having forbidden love?"

Their client then instructed them change their clothes for the photography. Issei told to be half naked much to his annoyance and displayed his body full of scars surprising both Rias and His client.

"Sorry for making you show those scar."

"Ah this? I don't mind since they represent my hard work."

"Issei tell me how did you get this scars?"

Rias felt her heart wincing at the sight of Issei's body. It made her question why she was so concern about Issei but within didn't even care and only focus on Issei. Though She couldn't help but question why the wounds didn't disappear after being healed by Asia sacred gear.

Unbeknownst to her nothing in this world would be able to remove the scar that contain the erosion of outer gods.

"it's nothing to worry about, Buchou. Let's focus to the client first."

She wanted to know the origin of the scars but knew it wasn't the right time as they still had a client to attend to. Rias went next to change her clothes into pure white summer dress showing her bountiful breast.

However, Issei wasn't looking at it but to her face that became more mesmerizing making him recall their dates.

"You looked beautiful, Rias."

Issei voice was soft and sincere that even her lesbian client felt blushing. Rias heard his words being called by her name and how soothing his was to her. She felt a sense of Deja vu hearing those words to her.

"T-Thank you Issei. Your not bad yourself."

"Alright let's start!"

Their client exclaimed as they were brought to the white back dropped to perform a series of poses while Rias devil wings was put. A flashing of lights and camera shutter the two of them were perfectly capture in the photo.

Rias felt like her heart increase its beats every time touch her body. She was surprised that Issei didn't try to take advantage of the situation.

"Alright last photo. Can you two kiss? I'm sorry for asking but you two seem so perfect together. Are you guys dating?"

"Not yet and also I don't think buchou would want me kissing her."

Issei replied with confidence while Rias was shocked to hear him but also happy and thought about going on date with him without any restraint by her responsibility.

"No, I don't mind Issei."

"Are you sure? I don't mind to take your first kiss but I want you give to someone you love."

"It's not big deal to be perfectly honest."

Rias doesn't mind being kiss by someone who did not looked at her with lust but affection and care. Issei was the only man who gave her a warm feeling while also it was better being taken by her bastard of fiancée.

"Alright if its really okay to you then we'll do it."

"Thank you for doing this."

The two of them took pose where Issei took Rias waist that cause her heart to pound deeply staring at Issei enticing eyes. He then held her other hands like taking her on a dusk then slowly their lips gotten close together.

A tear fell from Issei eyes from the memory of their moment together when he had confesses his feeling to her and his doing the same once their lips finally touch each other much to Rias surprise. His lips felt nostalgic to her and move natural once they proceeded.

'I-I love you…Issei.'

A voice that was similar to her but older rang through her mind. She was bewildered by it trying to know the cause but was awaken from Issei's lips departing with hers.

"Are you alright, Buchou?"

"I-I'm alright Issei."

"Oh my god this is amazing! Thank you for giving unbelievable shot! Chloe going to love this."

"Oh sorry buchou!"

Issei quickly remove his hands once they finish shooting leaving the daze Rias seeing him go to get dressed. They finish their client gaining vintage camera and the photo as payment.

"Ara~ did you two finish a pact together?"

Akeno just entered the room when they arrived seeing two of them together and notice a vintage camera and photo. She quickly tried to see what's on the picture.

"Hey Ise-kun can you show me what's on the photo?"

"Oh here you Akeno-san."

She looked at the photo made her flinch it was Rias and Issei was kissing in such perfect harmony that her a bit jealous.

"Ara~ Ara~ I didn't expect for buchou to give her first kiss to Ise-kun. Why don't I try doing the same?"

Akeno seductively said as she went and stole a kiss from Issei much to Rias displeasure. She quickly went to Issei wrapped her arms around him.

"Stopped it, Akeno. Issei is mine not yours to play."

"Ara~ its my first seeing you like this."

The rest of their member arrive hearing the commotion. They saw their king and queen having an argument while Issei was in the middle of the crossfire.

"What's going here buchou?"

"it seem pervert is starting to grow on them. Here look at this."

Yuumi saw Akeno holding a photo and surprised to see her king kissing Issei while Asia who saw the photo join in the ruckus.
