[POV – Yuki Rito]
Yuki Residence – Main Living Room
"Rias Gremory, you may enter. As well as the members of your nobility. Akeno, Kiba, Koneko."
The voice came out firm. Deeper than usual. It wasn't common for people to see me like this, serious. But when someone steps on the limits of my family... I become different. Not because I want to appear threatening. But because I am.
The air... became dense. As if oxygen became shy and decided to turn back. The ambient sound fell silent. Even the birds outside, which were chirping as if it were just an ordinary morning, went quiet.
TRRRM...
The door slid open, and Rias took the first step. Sovereign, impeccable, her eyes shining with that fiery determination that only a wounded — and decided — woman carries. She was beautiful. Impressive, even. If I were just an ordinary human, I might have choked on my own breath. But...
I've seen Gabriel's face smiling amidst divine light. I've been crushed by an embrace that exuded Paradise itself. I've seen Lala smiling with such purity that she could purify galaxies. And Haruna... well, Haruna taught me what it was to love even without knowing that it had a name.
But Rias... she was different. She was fire.
"You seem... nervous, Yuuki Rito," she said, crossing her arms. Her voice was calm, but her gaze... her gaze said "one more wrong move and I'll disintegrate you."
Before I could answer, I heard that familiar sound.
BOING!
"RIIIIITOOOOO!" Lala appeared out of nowhere like a pink torpedo and — POF! — threw herself at me. Her arms around my neck, her breasts crushing my face with gravitational force. "You're so serious! So... so... cuuuute!"
"Lala—mmff—careful—mmphh!"
I managed to breathe when she pulled away. Rias raised an eyebrow. Koneko looked away, slightly blushing. Akeno just smiled. A smile... dangerous.
But before I could regain control of the situation — if I ever had any — my eyes met Mikan's. She was standing there, farther down the hallway, with that mysterious air of someone who knows more than they say. A blue popsicle between her fingers, her eyes fixed... on me.
She licked slowly, half-distracted. But there was something in her look. Something that told me: "You won't escape forever, onii-chan." I shivered. Not from fear. But from... confusion. Mikan had always been too mature for her age. Always took care of the house, of me... of everything. But lately, she had been looking at me differently. A bit too protective. A bit... too close.
At that moment, Mikan, as if it were casual, plunged the popsicle to the base. I could no longer see the popsicle, only the tip of it, where she held it with her fingertips. My breathing caught. Even while still being crushed and pressed by Lala's breasts, the scene that Mika presented to me was magnetic. For some reason, I gulped. Then I noticed. Where was Mikan's hungry look? I breathed more deeply again, almost trying to anchor myself in reality. And I realized. Mikan's eyes were growing. When she finally removed the popsicle and gave a light kiss to the tip. Her eyes never left my groin.
What's happening to my life?
Before I could dive again into another existential reverie that lasts milliseconds but feels like an eternity — that thing about being omnipotent and thinking everything at once — I focused again on who was right in front of me.
Rias.
She was looking. Not at me. But... further down.
"...!"
I gulped.
Rias blushed slightly, and her mouth curved into a mischievous smile.
"It's... very big..." I thought I heard her murmur. But maybe it was just my mind playing tricks on me. Or my damn cosmic perception delivering more than I wanted.
I tried to maintain my composure, breathing deeply.
"Rias, if you came here thinking I'm manipulating Asia... you're wasting your time. She's protected. And now she's a Brave Saint under my tutelage. Like my sister, Mikan, as well."
Asia, who was by my side, firmly held my hand, her eyes full of certainty.
"He saved me. Protected me. Taught me what... faith is."
Rias faltered. For a second, I saw her wall tremble. Perhaps... she had come ready to fight. But realized it wasn't that kind of battlefield.
"I came because of a promise I made to myself," said Rias, sighing. "Not to let anyone else be used. As they wanted to do with me."
Akeno approached, placing her hand gently on Rias's shoulder. Kiba observed in silence, and Koneko... well, she was still looking at the floor. But less frightened than before.
I smiled. A light smile, because I knew. This kind of pain... I understood.
"You don't have to fight against me, Rias. I'm not your enemy. I'm just... a guy trying to protect those he loves."
Lala leaned against me again, pouting.
"I'm your fiancée! Don't forget that!"
Rias gave a little laugh, finally relaxing. Maybe... just maybe... she had realized she was in a safe place. That as strange as this "ordinary guy" in pajamas before her was...
He was anything but ordinary.
"Alright," she said. "But I'll still watch you."
"Feel free," I answered. "Just don't look too much... or you'll end up falling in love."
She widened her eyes, and all those present softly went "oooohhh."
And I... just smiled.
Because even being the Presence, the beginning and the end... I'm also a teenager with too many beautiful people around.
And that... that is a true test of power.

[Yuki Residence – Main Living Room – Minutes Later]
His voice still echoed in my mind. "Rias, you may enter. As well as the members of your nobility. Akeno, Kiba, Koneko." It wasn't just permission. It was a summons. An invitation with such weight that the air in the room seemed to change density. You could cut it with a knife.
And then I saw him. Rito. With that serious look. Firm posture. Deep voice. The kind of presence you don't force, it just... exists. That caught me by surprise. And the worst — or best? — was when my gaze unintentionally drifted downward.
...!!
"It's very big..." I almost let slip aloud. My cheeks immediately flushed. I tried to cover it up, coughing and fixing my hair, but it was too late. I think even Akeno noticed, because she gave that typical mischievous smile of hers.
But soon everything became clearer. Asia — that sweet girl who I thought was being used — held his hand as if it were her anchor in the world. Her eyes shined with a certainty that disarmed me.
"He saved me. Protected me. Taught me what... faith is," she said.
It was like being slapped. A slap of reality.
I came here ready for war. Expecting to find a manipulator. A new Riser. But I found... someone so different that he seemed from another world. And perhaps he was.
Rito wasn't a drooling idiot. Nor a perverted lecher. He was... gentle. Cute. And with a heart — and other parts — really big.
"I came because of a promise I made to myself," I said, my voice coming out lighter than I had imagined. "Not to let anyone else be used. As they wanted to do with me."
Akeno approached and placed her hand on my shoulder, as if to say: "it's alright."
And there, in the middle of that cozy house, surrounded by simple walls, furniture with worn cushions, and smells of home cooking... I felt it. That house had more warmth than my entire mansion. It had soul. It had... home.
I caught myself looking around, noticing the details. The shelf full of messy books. The picture frames with genuine smiles. The small drawings stuck to the refrigerator.
And then I thought: "Could I... could I live here?"
The thought came out of nowhere. But it didn't seem absurd.
"Maybe I should ask my Brother if it would be possible..." I murmured to myself, but Akeno heard and raised an eyebrow.
"Huh?"
"Nothing, nothing!"
But it was too late. The plan was being born inside me with full force. Yes. I would talk to my father and mother. I was of age in the demon world. And if they really wanted to see me happy... they wouldn't oppose.
In fact, I bet my mother would love to see me in a place with a boy like Rito. She's always saying that I need someone who treats me with respect, but also hugs me tightly. And he...
Well, Lala's hug on him said it all. The way he reciprocated, how he smiled, even suffocated by his alien fiancée's breasts... that was pure charisma. Pure acceptance.
I didn't know what Lala saw in him before. But now I did. Saw it with great clarity.
Perhaps, just perhaps... I had a chance too.
But calm down, Rias. One thing at a time.
Rito offered us tea. He went to the kitchen with Lala, and the atmosphere relaxed. Asia showed us where the bathroom was, and Mikan... well, she passed by me sucking a popsicle with an expression of pure provocation. What is it with this family and ice cream, my God?
Akeno poked my arm, whispering:
"You've fallen for him, haven't you?"
"Shut up," I murmured, turning my face, but not denying it.
Koneko, who had been silent until then, said:
"At least he's not an idiot."
Even Koneko liked him? The world really was changing.
When he returned with the cups, smiling in that gentle way, almost tripping because of Lala hanging on his arm, I felt my heart beat faster.
Yes, it was decided.
I was going to move to Sainan.
I was going to live with him.
And who knows, just who knows...
I would win that enormous heart.
Or die trying.
