3 CHAPTER-3

In the road of Kouh town, two people are looking at each other: Akira and Rias. Akira's face is filled with worry and care, while Rias is giving him a charming smile, saying that she is okay.

Rias: *Who is this handsome boy? He's getting worried for me. We don't know each other, but seeing him worry for me warms my heart. His face is so handsome, and his eyes are so beautiful. I only see care and concern in them, there's nothing like lust, only care. * Rias thinks while looking at him.

Akira: "Are you really okay? If not, let's go to the hospital." Akira asks in a worried tone.

Rias: "Well, thank you, but I am fine so don't worry." Rias says, smiling at him.

Akira: "Are you sure?" Akira looks at her smile, causing him to blush. *She will kill me with her smile*, he thinks.

Rias: "Yeah, I am sure." Rias feels warm in her heart, but seeing him blush makes her feel like an arrow has struck her heart. *So cute. Is this what they call love at first sight?* She places her hand in front of her heart and looks at him in a loving way that everyone on the road notices.

Akira: "Well, that's good to hear." Akira releases a sigh of relief, but he can't help but think about the scene of them kissing, causing his whole face to turn red. He subconsciously touches his lips.

Rias sees him getting shy again and touching his lips, feeling her face becoming hot as well. She also subconsciously touches her lips.

Akira: "C-can I get your name so that I know who took my first kiss?" Akira says in a low voice, blushing furiously.

Rias: "A-ah, my name is Rias Gremory. I also want to know you, who also took my first kiss." Rias replies excitedly and feeling happy that she took his first kiss.

Akira: "My name is Akira, Gremory-san." Akira also feels excited and wonders, *What is happening to me? Why am I getting excited? Is this love?* He gives her his best smile.

Seeing his smile, Rias can't take it anymore. She rushes toward him and buries his face in her big chest, hugging him tightly and leaving Akira stunned. He wraps his arm around Rias and smiles in her embrace, to which Rias hugs him back tightly. *So this is happiness*, she thinks, seeing Akira in her arms.

After some time, they let go of each other and smile at each other.

After 2 hours, Akira is resting in his apartment, which he just bought with Rias telling him that he's new, so she can help him. Rias wholeheartedly helps him and gets happy to spend time with him. She gives dead glares to the girls who look at him with lust. She is like a hen protecting her egg. Akira just smiles and holds her hand to calm her down. After buying his house, they go shopping and play around the town. Throughout their trip, Akira and Rias never let go of each other's hand. After some time, they decide to return to their homes, which makes them sad. Seeing Akira get sad, Rias kisses him softly, and Akira hugs her tightly so that they can feel each other. After hugging, they exchange phone numbers and reluctantly return to their homes.

Akira: "I start missing Rias, even though it's only been 30 minutes since we parted." Akira thinks about Rias and their activities, looking at their photos on his phone.

After some time, Akira's eyebrows start to relax as he drifts off into dreamland, finally able to sleep peacefully after so many years of not knowing what that feels like.
