Chapter 15: Cohabitation
'So this is what it's like to have a girlfriend...' thought Vahn, unable to sleep, so he stayed awake, staring at Rias's sleeping face and holding her with his left hand as she used his body and shoulder as a hug pillow and pillow.
(*I'm not so sure other girls would be as forward.) appended Sis. (But, according to the data I obtained from the Faux Greater Key of Solomon, this appears to be the norm for descendants of House Gremory. They are famed for possessing affectionate and open natures.*)
'Okay...so it might not be normal, but it is for Rias and her family...' noted Vahn. If that were the case, he would probably need to get accustomed to nakedness and abrupt displays of affection. He could tell Rias wanted something from him when she posed and emphasized certain parts of her body, so he felt he needed to learn more about being a proper boyfriend, and quickly, to avoid disappointing her.
(Shall I pull up some texts or videos for you to peruse?) asked Sis. (I can also transmit the data directly into your long-term memories, but you previously expressed the desire to learn things directly.)
'We have a video playback function...?' asked Vahn, surprised, as it was his first time hearing about it.
(I was able to gain access to the internet by piggybacking the signals sent by your cellphone and the hotel's wireless network.) explained Sis. (As such, I can gain access to websites and pull up virtually any video, text, or music file encoded onto the World Wide Web.)
'That's incredible...' thought Vahn. Then, for the remainder of the evening, he perused various articles related to romance, being a proper boyfriend, and how to compliment a girl's body. He nearly gained access to what his contemporaries would refer to as forbidden knowledge, but he willfully avoided it, as many of the articles mentioned that girls didn't appreciate it when their boyfriends perused porn or related materials...

Rousing at the sound of her double bell alarm clock, a smile developed across Rias's face when Vahn promptly silenced it for her. She was a bit of a slow riser, so the incessant ringing would ordinarily continue for several minutes or until Akeno came in to stop it, followed by the arduous process of coaxing her out of bed.
