Gaming Badly in DxD

-Zatren Fumigami-

As the sun started to set, I walked Kuoh’s streets, having dressed up a bit for the upcoming date.

Long denim pants, even though the weather was slowly going from the nice, chilly winter when I first arrived to a warmer, humid spring. A pair of dark sports shoes and an orange jacket with a purple undershirt.

Also, sunglasses, because the sun was being a bitch today, even if the evening was slowly settling in.

Not my usual type of wear, but I felt like trying out something new without overdressing—It won’t do to make Gasper feel like she needed to come in all fancy.

I tapped on my phone’s screen with one hand, keeping the other on my waist as I leaned back into a café’s front. A little smile appeared on my face at seeing my date’s messages.

[JustOneSip: It’s so embarrassing…]

[RandomBullshitGo: Come on, it’ll be alright. You can see me, can you not?]

[JustOneSip: Yeah…]

[RandomBullshitGo: Well, I can’t. Now that’s just unfair, isn’t it?]

[JustOneSip: ᇂ_ᇂ]

‘She’s freaking adorable.’ I chuckled, side-glancing around me for any clue.

I don’t think a single one of my partners was as shy as the petite Dhampir. The closest would have been Mittelt, but she wasn’t shy per se, more like easily embarrassed while still remaining bratty about it.

Gasper, on the contrary, had some open spaces and people anxiety. Going out just wasn’t a word in her dictionary—the true picture of a hikkikomori in all of its splendor.

And even if she had gotten better lately, it was a hurdle she had to overcome.

So, instead of pressuring her into approaching, we were playing a little game.

[RandomBullshitGo: Hmmm… The one with the sky-blue blouse?]

[JustOneSip: No.]

[RandomBullshitGo: Ah, really?]

[RandomBullshitGo: Then, the cute, platinum blonde with the frilly skirt~]

[JustOneSip: I-I could never wear something so embarrassing!]

[RandomBullshitGo: It would look so cute on you, though…]

[JustOneSip: Stop it, Senpai!]

I ignored the looks of the civilians as I cackled like a madman.

The lights slowly dimmed in the sky, turning it from blue to orange. Along with it being a weekend, made it so the main streets were a bit packed. Something that would slowly lessen once we got into the night, but for now, I had to keep guessing.

The game was simple; Gasper was actively using some illusion magic to mask herself as someone else. Meanwhile, I had to find that someone and reveal her true disguise without using any magic or skill. Just my eyes and nothing more.

It was, honestly, very fun, if a little difficult.

‘’Let’s see, let’s see…’’ My eyes looked upon the crowd for what felt like the tenth time today, and I scratched my chin with a grin. ‘’If I were an adorable but very anxious Dhampir… who would I pose as?’’

My first guess was someone confident and outgoing, the polar opposite of Gasper. However, that didn’t work out, since even through illusions, Gasper would still need to act the part.

It was the same as finding a shy Gyaru of all things.

‘So, look for the people trying to be unassuming…’ I hummed. Suddenly, my eyes locked onto a girl in a high-school uniform. ‘Oh?’

Short brown hair and equally brown eyes. A cute, round, yet otherwise plain face. She was a bit taller than average, but not enough to really stick out, and was currently trying to order an ice cream from a kind old lady with a tight, nervous smile on her face.

Without taking my eye off her, I typed out my last opportunity.

[RandomBullshitGo: …The schoolgirl buying an ice cream?]

[JustOneSip: …]

[RandomBullshitGo: Did I get it right?]

[JustOneSip: I win.]

[RandomBullshitGo: Oh?]

[JustOneSip: Turn around.]

Staring at the message in befuddlement, I paused as someone tapped my shoulder from behind.

‘There’s no way. Did I miss her being literally around me?’ I clicked my tongue, slowly turning to the side. ‘Man, I really such at these… games.’

The girl in front of me was… not what I expected.

Unassuming, yes, but with a different vibe than what I thought.

The girl was a head shorter than me, with neat, black hair that went down into a pair of braids that rested on her shoulders. Her face, contrary to being plain, was serious and business-like. With glasses-covered brown eyes so dark they almost appeared to be black. Her outfit was actually Kuoh’s uniform, with the purple corset, short maroon skirt, and the white undershirt.

Otherwise, her proportions were the softest hourglass I’ve seen. With a modest chest and curvy yet not exaggerated or thick hips.

As we made eye contact, the bespectacled girl turned her head to the side, a blush having taken over her cheeks, yet her hand did not leave my shoulder, even if her digits twitched from time to time.

‘’Gasper?’’ I asked, just to be sure.

‘’G-good evening, Z-Zatren-Senpai…’’ The girl whispered, and immediately, I picked up the shy, acute voice of the Dhampir.

I looked her up and down once more, merely for the sake of making her squirm a bit after putting me through this impromptu game, before taking in her hand softly. ‘’Hmm… honestly, you look a bit like Sona or Tsubaki. I didn’t expect that.’’

‘’It’s…’’ Gasper paused, her right hand clutching the sleeve of her left. ‘’The student council carries themselves with… a lot of confidence, and I know you like girls with glasses, so…’’

Ah…

‘’I understand, but you don’t need to be all dressed up like that to be confident or to make me like you. We won’t be here otherwise, right?’’ I clutched her hand, making her timid dark eyes turn to me. I just smiled, rubbing circles around the limb with my thumb in a comforting motion. ‘’Now… may I see the real Gasper?’’

Gasper’s eyes widened, her lips pressed together as she nodded. In a burst of light that the passersby didn’t seem able to notice, the girl in front of me became shorter, with a bob cut of platinum blonde hair and soft red eyes. A little fang stuck out of her upper lip, and her ears were replaced by two elven-like ones.

Her outfit, too, changed. Instead of the school uniform, she wore jean shorts and a sleeveless sky-blue blouse. She, surprisingly, didn’t wear thighs, but a regular pair of knee-height white socks and brown, button shoes.

‘’Now, who’s this beautiful devil right here?’’ I joked with a grin.

‘’T-that’s embarrassing…’’ Gasper complained under her breath. ‘’But if Senpai is alright with this much…’’

In a surprising burst of confidence, the shy dhampir clutched my arm between two of hers, pressing her small breasts against me and looking up with a determined expression and a pink blush.

‘’I’m ready, Zatren-Senpai!’’ Gasper stated ‘confidently’, clutching my arm like a lifeline.

I stared in astonishment for a moment before laughing. The action made Gasper blush up a storm and look aside.

‘’Very well then, better not eat too much, and save space for dinner~’’ I teased, pulling the girl with me into the establishment.

‘’H-hey! Don’t tease me… Uhhh…’’ She pouted.

Why wouldn’t I? That was the most entertaining part, wasn’t it?

-X-x-X-

-Gasper Vladi-

‘’Senpai… are you sure we should be here at night?’’

When I mentioned liking an aquarium for our date, I was definitely not thinking about it like this.

I knew that it had something to do with my… issues with public spaces and a lot of people. Places like these were bound to attract locals and tourists alike, but…

‘’It will be fiiine… probably.’’ Zatren chuckled, flashing a reassuring grin before raising his hand into the air. ‘’Weak ass lock says clank.’’

And promptly slamming it into the aquarium’s lock, bending the metal until it shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

Thunk.

‘’Similar enough.’’

The motive was, obviously, that the establishment had closed for the night. Instead of seeing that as an impediment, Zatren saw it as an opportunity to sneak in.

‘’Come on, Gasper. It’s going to be fun.’’ Zatren reassured while cackling, opening the aquarium’s gate with a metallic creak.

‘’We are getting in so much trouble…’’ I whispered, already picturing the authorities surrounding the place and putting us behind bars like filthy criminals. ‘’Ahuuu…’’

A shiver suddenly went down my spine as a hand clutched mine. I looked up, eyes locking with Zatren’s hazel ones. My chest felt tight, and I felt a digit creep onto my chin and shut my open mouth without a sound.

‘’I promised you an aquarium, didn’t I?’’ Zatren raised an eyebrow, pulling my hand along and into the dark, closed establishment. ‘’Come on, I put a barrier around the place already. Let’s find the power generator!’’

Seeing his mischievous grin as he practically barreled through the doors made me take a deep breath.

‘’Y-yeah!’’ I shouted with fake confidence. ‘’Let’s power this up and… steal all the fish!’’

‘’You don’t have to go that far.’’

‘’A-ah…’’

Of course I didn’t! Who goes to the aquarium to steal the fish? Where would I even put them?!

Ahuuu… me and my big mouth!

-X-x-X-

‘’Woahh, Senpai, look, look. It’s an octopus!’’ I poked the glass with a smile. ‘’I never saw one so close!’’

The marine creature was currently sticking to the glass with all of its suckers. Its eyes, while ‘intelligent,’ lacked any further comprehension than the fact that people were inside the aquarium.

Similarly enough, once Senpai managed to find the power button, the entire hallway lit up in color, revealing fish of every color and size around the walls and even the ceiling!

‘’Man, this must be expensive to manage.’’ Zatren chuckled, moving his finger side to side in front of another glass. ‘’Check this out, I can make it dance~’’

Tearing my gaze away from the retreating octopus, I blinked, staring in wonder as with each movement of Zatren’s finger, one of the fish in the tank, a bright yellow one with the shape of a flat half-moon, moved.

‘’Up, down, up down.’’ The man giggled to himself.

‘’How are you doing that?’’ I asked curiously, chuckling at the sight. I put my own fingers against the glass even if I knew it wouldn’t have any effect. ‘’Is it because of… the sea creature thing?’’

‘’Probably.’’ He shrugged, pursing his lips. ‘’I’m not really doing anything either. So, maybe fish just really like me?’’

‘’…That doesn’t make much sense, Senpai.’’ I tilted my head with squinted eyes. ‘’What are you, Aquaman?’’

‘’Aquaman wishes he were half as gorgeous as me.’’ He turned his nose away, sniffing while crossing his arms like an offended old noble.

I shook my head, yet my shoulders shook with contained laughter.

It was like all the tension had vanished. Even if we were breaking and entering, there was an odd sense of peace that just… made me feel really happy!

I didn’t even notice when I grabbed onto Senpai’s arm, nuzzling it with a grin. And I didn’t even turn away as he put a hand on my head.

Though it was still embarrassing to be patted like a puppy… but it was nice.

Did Koneko feel even better from this? No wonder she was such a cuddlebug! Now I’m getting a bit jealous…!

Only after a full minute of hugging did I notice I hadn’t spoken a word. A burst of heat went through my neck as I looked up and tried my best to smile, though it probably came as a bit too wide and awkward, Senpai didn’t seem to mind.

‘’T-thank you for bringing me here, Senpai. Even if it was clearly illegal, I’m… having a great time!’’ I admitted.

‘’Anything for you, cutie.’’ The man stuck out his tongue. ‘’Though you haven’t seen the best part yet… I’m always all for giving my partners a bit of eye candy, you know?’’

‘Eye… candy?’ I paused.

All of a sudden, the image of Senpai being half-dressed, like I had found him back at the gym’s showers, came to mind. Heat pooled into my stomach, but especially my face, which could probably give a heated blanket a run for its money.

‘’W-wait. There’s no need f-for that. I…’’

‘My heart won’t be able to take it!’ That's what I wanted to say, but the words just didn’t come out. ‘’Y-you don’t have to… Senpai?’’

When I looked up again, the man had disappeared.

‘’Huh…?’’ I looked at every side, even up at the roof, but there was no trace of him. Magical or otherwise. ‘’Zatren-Senpai…? Are you playing a prank on me? I… I’m not scared, you know?!’’

That was a bold-faced lie.

Was the hallway always this… ominous? Even with the fish and lights, there was an unsettling amount of silence right now!

My legs felt like trembling as I walked forward. Even if it was a prank of some kind, I couldn’t just leave without Senpai. So, without knowing what else to do, I turned around the corner, into an even darker hallway.

‘You’re a Dhampir, Gasper.’ I reassured myself mentally. ‘Dhampirs don’t get scared of darkness… We thrive in it! Yes, we are creatures of the dark—’

Click.

‘’HIEEE!’’ I stuck to the ground like a roach, hands over my head to try and avoid whatever made that noise. ‘’I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to trespass! I’m not a criminal, I swear! I…’’

But no noise followed after.

Slowly, I opened my eyes, coming face to face with the fact that the noise did not come from a security guard or a terrifying creature lying in wait in the dark to eat my brains. Instead… it was the lights.

The room became clear with light. Cartoonish carton cut-outs of friendly-looking sharks appeared everywhere. With more than one plushie here and there. And, sure enough, looking past the decorations and into the water tanks revealed the giant fish with several rows of teeth.

Their enclosure was honestly massive, even though they were not that big. Fear was forgotten in place of wonder as I slowly got up and watched the great predators of the sea roam around their tank.

It was almost… peaceful.

But there was something else in the water…

‘I can’t quite see it…’ I frowned, pushing my face against the glass, trying to look far beyond it to distinguish the figure. ‘Another shark…?’

Wait.

…Zatren?

My eyes widened in surprise as the water parted quickly. Fear was replaced with open-mouthed shock as the figure got closer and… posed.

It was Senpai, waving from inside the water tank, uncaring of the sharks currently swimming around him… while also being completely shirtless.

‘W-when did he change into swimming trunks?!’

As my mind felt like it was about to fold like a castle made of cards, my eyes decided that it was the perfect moment to take in every little detail they could.

Zatren didn’t stay idle. He winked and started swimming around. Even going side to side with one of the sharks. And, from time to time, he paused to look back and pose. The lights inside the tank did not let me miss a single detail. From the flowing black hair to his unblemished skin, and the sculpted muscles.

‘…If only there were some currents, maybe his trunks would slip and—’ I slapped my cheeks with both hands, feeling as if steam was coming out of my ears. ‘Nooooo… I’m not a pervert! No, no, no! Bad thoughts! These are bad thoughts!’

Yet, even if I covered my face with both hands, my traitorous fingers parted to reveal the man once more, and that same fire of that day lit up on my body, to the point my clothes felt uncomfortable.

…And I was starting to get hungry.

The show was over in less than a few minutes, and I was glad, even if a little part of my mind sat in a corner, sad that the moment had ended.

A part of my mind I had to bat on the head with a wooden bat! Bad subconscious!

Unaware of my self-inflicted mental conflict, Zatren approached the glass with a sheepish smile. I couldn’t bring myself to glare at the man, but I did the second best.

I pouted.

Very, very hard.

In response, however, he just scratched his head before placing his fingers against the glass in a very distinctive form. With an almost innocent little grin.

Just like that, I felt something in my chest skip a beat. Even if I was looking away, I pressed my hand on from this side of the tank, ‘joining’ my fingers with his into the shape of a heart.

‘Senpai is very bad for my feelings...’ I lamented, but didn’t look away from the little gesture. ‘’I-it was very pretty… Thank you, S-senpai.’’

Instead of an answer, the man winked, and all of a sudden, he disappeared.

This time, however, I felt exactly where he had gone to, as a pair of arms enveloped my waist. A smell unmistakably his reached my nose, and a wet feeling spread across my back.

‘’Glad you liked it, Gasper.’’ Zatren chuckled, a hint of nervousness in his tone as I was made to lean back. ‘’I… well, don’t know anything about spectacle swimming or whatever it's called, but I do know an appreciative glance when I spot it.’’

My face felt hot, but I didn’t answer, leaning into his touch instead. With some degree of understanding, Zatren stayed still. It was almost comical; he was wet from head to toe, practically naked, and we were both in an embrace while trespassing and watching the sharks swim around.

‘’I’m… glad.’’ I started, taking a deep breath as I felt a squeeze on my hips. ‘’Glad that I didn’t ruin our date by… freezing anything around me. It’s another thing I need to thank you for, Senpai.’’

A hum reached my ears just as I felt my chest swell. Zatren did not know the effect he had on people. If he knew, he probably would be a lot more mindful of the number of hearts he captivated!

…Or he would be twice as bad.

Yeah, maybe it was better if he didn’t know?

‘’We still have something to finish up our date. How about some food when we get out of here?’’ Zatren changed the theme, giving my waist one last squeeze before releasing me. I almost whined at the missing contact, but I managed not to release any pathetic sound.

Food sounded really good right now, too…

‘’Um, Senpai?’’ I asked, sheepish.

‘’Yeah, Gasper?’’ The man’s voice was now slightly farther away as I turned around. He had taken to entering the memorabilia shop and looked among the plushies there. ‘’What’s up?’’

‘’…You got all my clothes wet.’’ I pointed out.

Zatren paused, dropping the shark plushie he had taken hold of, before slowly turning around with an apologetic expression.

‘’…My bad?’’ He apologized.

I was starting to think that, just like Koneko said, I had not chosen the smartest person to be the partner of.

‘I won’t change it at all, though.’’ A little grin took over my face, and I felt all fuzzy inside. ‘’I-it’s okay! We can just wait it out… Also, I want a plushie too, hehe!’’

Zatren grinned, motioning me closer as he picked his plushie from the ground, and as we started looking between the funny pieces of merchandise, I couldn’t help but… feel good.

This was possibly the most fun I've ever had.

I was glad to have taken the chance and confessed.

-X-x-X-

I hugged my legs tight, looking into the sky with a little grin. Part of my weight, I pushed to the side, leaning against Zatren’s body.

‘’Thought you would be hungrier, to be honest.’’ He hummed.

The snacks he had prepared—sandwiches and juice in a nice picnic basket—were left unattended. I had only taken one, and even then, I didn’t finish it. Not because they were bad, on the contrary, but I was not feeling all that hungry.

‘…Not for food, anyway.’ My head treacherously provided.

‘’It’s fine. I’m… not one to eat much anyway.’’ I shrugged, side-glancing at the filled basket. ‘’Also… there’s sandwiches for like, ten people here, Senpai.’’

‘’That’s my bad. I’m just used to feeding gluttons.’’ He scratched the back of his head. ‘’So… had a fun time? I know it may not be all that, but…’’

‘’You kidding?’’ I chuckled, turning to face the man with a wide grin. ‘’That was amazing! I never felt my blood pump so quickly when doing something! Sure, it was a crime, but… it was nice.’’

‘’Going from barely going out to a full-on date… it was not something I expected, you know? I didn’t even expect to exit my room so soon, but everyone is moving and progressing so fast… I guess I just didn’t want to be left behind.’’ I explained, feeling my eyes blur for a moment, and something hot ran down my cheeks. ‘’I was afraid… to be forgotten in that room. But when I looked at all the fun you guys were having out there… I…’’

I cursed the fact that my voice was starting to break, forcing me to pause.

I was handed a handkerchief, which I used to wipe my eyes. Zatren offered a warm smile and a supportive squeeze on my shoulder, which I silently thanked him for.

‘’What I mean is… thank you.’’ I finished with a deep sigh, feeling as if my chest was about to burst and my heart would run across the hill we sat on top of. ‘’Thank you for helping Big Sister Rias… and the rest of our friends. It’s like you were a cool shining knight in armor, here to save the day!’’

As I finished my little speech, Zatren remained silent. His face was stuck in a frown, which was quickly replaced by a simple smile.

‘’Well… I don’t know about that last part, but I’m always glad to help.’’ He said, fingers awkwardly tapping the blanket below us. ‘’But thank you for telling me this, Gasper. I tend to rush into… a lot of different situations without thinking. So, it’s nice when I’m allowed to slow down and just forget about what I need to do, and focus on what I want to do.’’

The warm fuzziness came back. I opened my mouth, but no words came out… until Zatren’s smile turned mischievous, and a glint appeared in his eyes.

‘’Like being on a date with a really cute dhampir.’’ He teased. ‘’Oh, lucky me~’’

I, much to my surprise, poked his side, making him laugh.

I didn’t find it funny! We were having a little moment... like those romance novels! And he had to interrupt it by teasing me!

‘...Huh, just like in the novels.’ I paused, ears twitching as I felt Zatren’s breath hitch. ‘’Senpai?’’

My ears were very sharp, maybe not as much as someone like Koneko’s, but from this distance, I could hear the man’s heartbeat pick up. His fists clenched, and his eyes looked almost lost for a moment before they focused back onto me, making me frown in worry.

‘’Zatren-Senpai…?’’ I whispered again, only to feel a hand slowly caressing my waist. ‘’O-oh…’’

I then remembered that we were all alone on the cliffside of Kuoh. Under the moonlight… while being very close together. And even if Zatren had put on some casual clothes after his stunt earlier, the images of his toned, naked form started filling my head again, along with the moment we spent back at the school. When my body tingled in a way it had never before.

And, as Zatren’s hands slipped past my clothing and into my naked sides, I couldn’t help but feel that same tingling again, making my legs twitch and causing my core to throb with a need that was similar but wildly different than anything I had experienced.

The words I had said that day came back. And after the time I spent with him today, they were bolder than ever, so much so that if I were to say them in another, tamer setting, I would die of embarrassment.

‘’I want senpai…’’ I whispered, slowly pushing my head into the crook of his neck. ‘’T-to make me feel like a girl—No… Like a woman.’’

There was nothing I desired more right now.

-X-x-X-

-Aphrodite-

Reflections of countless memories appeared before me. Times of past romance, to the point that, deep inside, I felt the tiniest bit of pang of guilt.

A heart that loves and bleeds for the ones you store inside is, after all, something difficult to find.

But that doesn’t excuse stealing a fallen lover’s blood and tears, now does it?

My hands weaved the spell, and the sadness in my heart made the curse. The mirror reflected an image once more. A God side by side with a Dhampir. Sitting on a hill under the moonlight while enjoying a time that was otherwise filled with love and wholesome affections.

I could feel their tension, of course. So, my little spell would do no more than break those barriers at first.

But once lust reigns in, will he forget about the love he holds dear? Countless lovers, one may have, but they could just as easily break under the wrong touch.

Will the God of Abundance’s love prevail over his satisfaction? Over his greed to take in, consequences be dammed?

‘’Lust and Love, forces so deeply intertwined… yet tainted by each other all the while.’’ I spoke softly. The mere sound was enough to bring the most hardened of warriors’ hearts into a loving frenzy. ‘’Condemn this Deus to face the choice… to see if he truly loves, or collects people like toys!’’

A spark ignited, and I felt the moment it pierced the mirror and whispered into the God’s ear like a treacherous devil.

‘’Fitting, now isn’t it, dear?’’ I chuckled, pushing strands of bubblegum-pink hair aside to get a better look. The mirror moved, and I stepped closer, not willing to miss a single detail of the spectacle that was about to happen. ‘’Now show me, Zatren Fumigami… That the praise from my fellow is not in vain…’’

A smile, tender and loving, unlike the piercing stare I held, bloomed into my face.

For a mere second, the mirror reflected a bespectacled, brown-haired girl who was currently teasing a blonde woman while having a massive, mischievous grin on her face. A ‘deity’, much like her, but oh so different.

‘’And if you manage to overcome this ‘trial’…’’ I giggled, a giddy feeling inside my chest. ‘’Then I shall do something for you too, fufufu…’’

-X-x-X-

-Zatren Fumigami-

My entire body felt like it was burning from within. It was a sensation familiar as it was alien. Closely related to my desire, yet far from it.

And I knew the reason.

[Páthos Krima (Major Curse)]

‘’The touch of skin against skin. The dance of passion is known by two or more, yet one’s lust burns as it pleases. Consuming every partner like an insatiable inferno.’’

Unbeknownst, or maybe known to you, your sin has coerced the ire of a fellow Divine.

Your lust for flesh has been tampered with, making you eager for the physical touch of the women who have tamed your heart.

‘Well, fuck you too!’ I mentally screeched, even as my fingers clenched against the soft skin of Gasper’s sides. ‘Don’t think you can just place a curse on me all willy-nilly. I’m not doing this because you’re forcing me to.’

My lips met Gasper’s ones, her earlier petition having lit a fire in my stomach. The cute sounds of his breathing and quickened heartbeat were music to my ears as I reached past his creamy thighs and tight shorts, reaching for the prize that lay between.

Indeed, I was not being forced to focus my lusts on Gasper…

The effect of [Páthos Krima] has greatly lessened thanks to your Divine Physiology.

I was doing it because I wanted to.

‘’S-senpai…’’ Gasper’s breath hitched as I placed a kiss onto her exposed shoulder blade. ‘’Y-your neck…’’

I raised an eyebrow, noticing the dhampir’s longing look on my collar. Slowly, I stretched the fabric until my entire shoulder was visible, and Gasper took it as an invitation to latch onto me like an adorable leech.

Pressure built on my neck, only to disappear a moment later, and I didn’t know if it was hesitation or mere foreplay.

So, instead, I focused on the boy-turned-girl’s body. Last time, I only got to touch and not properly see, making a mental map of her body. However, this time I had the opportunity, so I unclasped the girl’s blouse from the shoulders, letting it fall to her waist.

As expected, creamy and soft skin with the barest hint of muscle, indicating Gasper’s lack of physical activity. But my interest was directly on her small breasts, which rose and fell with every labored breath.

‘’Just as adorable as I imagined.’’ I teased and froze as the pressure in my neck rose. ‘’So feisty~’’

I placed my hands on the lemon-sized breasts. What there wasn’t in size, it made up for in softness, and the reactions I got out of Gasper. With just a little squeeze, I heard muffled moans against my neck, and poking her nipples earned me a pair of arms squeezing my torso like a vice.

Even if she was more sensitive thanks to having a different body…

‘’Those are not common reactions, you know? At least not in such measure…’’ I whispered into one of those pointy elven ears, making it twitch. ‘’Hey, Gasper… have you been naughty while being alone, hmmm…?’’

Gasper froze, hands gripping my flesh tight. After a moment of hesitation, I heard a timid, breathy whisper. ‘’My fingers… they don’t feel the same as Zatren… no matter how much I tried…’’

If I wasn’t raring to go before, that certainly took any restraint I had left and threw it out the window.

‘’Well, there’s something that will feel a lot better than my fingers,’’ I whispered huskily, grabbing one of Gasper’s delicate hands and pressing it against the mass twitching in my pants. ‘’But are you eager enough to—Whoa!’’

I blinked in shock as my neck and sides were released. The dhampir bowed slightly, hands grabbing the edges of my pants as she tried to fish my cock out of the piece of clothing.

Absent-mindedly, I noticed a small pain in my neck and something red on the girl’s lower lip. A few drops of blood had been sucked out. Probably not enough to trigger the girl’s ‘transformation’ but enough to give that euphoric feeling once more.

And I saw it in those same red eyes. The hunger of an animal, but not for food, no.

For flesh.

Eventually, Gasper managed her goal. She was practically face-to-face with my throbbing shaft, and I placed a reassuring hand on top of her head that sent a shiver down her spine.

‘’Take it easy, alright?’’ I reminded her with a warm grin. ‘’Slow and steady does—Hmm.’’

Something wet and soft caressed my tip as Gasper ignored me entirely and took the head of my cock into her mouth, swirling her tongue around it shyly as if she were tasting a lollipop.

Those red eyes stared upwards, and seeing my reaction seemed to send a signal to her brain to try and take more. Just the head became half the shaft as Gasper went down on me like a hungry little beast.

I couldn’t say it wasn’t nice, but at the rate she was going…

‘’Cough, cough! A-ah… I couldn’t…’’ Gasper cleared her throat, only getting three-thirds of the way down before coming back up. Small tears appeared on the commissure of her eyes. ‘’Sorry… I never…’’

I chuckled, making Gasper pause, and before she started to ramble, I pressed her against my chest, hugging her waist tightly.

‘’It’s alright… We’ll have plenty of practice eventually.’’ I whispered, sending another full-body shiver down her back. ‘’How about both of us feel good next?’’

There wasn’t any need to explain. Gasper took a deep breath and fiddled with her shorts, awkwardly pulling down the fabric and kicking it off her legs. Sitting back once more, it was inevitable for her smooth, dripping wet slit to come in contact with my shaft.

A hitched breath was shared between the two of us, along with a knowing look.

‘’P-please, Zatren…’’ The girl spoke, even if she was the one to move and align my shaft into her open, virgin folds. ‘’I want it inside… I want Senpai to take my first time… Please make me a woman, Zatren-Senpai!’’

I didn’t need any more words. With a desperate hunger for sex, and our combined juices dripping onto the blanket below, I grabbed the girl firmly by the waist and pulled down while simultaneously thrusting upwards.

‘’A-ah! Inside! You’re insiiiide…’’ Gasper moaned, eyes shut close tight as she sat on my lap. Her arms immediately went around my neck as my face was pulled into her naked chest. ‘’M-more… It reaches so deep inside… I need more!’’

And it was no joke. Gasper was just a bit taller than Koneko, and as such, she was tight to the point that the line between pleasure and pain blurred as she clung to me like a vice.

Unlike the shy, meek Gasper, who needed to be pushed around to have fun during our date, this little monster was insatiable. She didn’t even wait to start going up and down—albeit slowly—on my cock, causing every nerve on my body to stand on end, especially with that curse at the back of my head.

‘’So fucking eager for me, aren’t you?’’ I chuckled with labored breath, thrusting upwards as she fell downwards and into my lap, making a wet slap of flesh against flesh with each movement. ‘’You can’t just go feeling good all on your own, sexy little thing.’’

‘’A-ah… I’m sorry, but it feels so good…!’’ Gasper reluctantly apologized, even if her wide smile and the ecstasy in her gaze depicted that she was not sorry at all. ‘’I want Senpai to feel good so… use my body more, please…!’’

‘’Now you’re being honest.’’ I praised.

And immediately followed along with her request. The slow, albeit passionate up and down became the ruth of two bodies against each other, craving the exact same thing.

I felt the head of my cock hit the back of her sloppy wet cunt with every thrust. Reassuring embraces became possessive, tight clutches, making the cuddle-fucking we were sharing seem like two animals ramming against each other.

Every time I hit the entrance to her needy little womb, her lips clutched the base with a severing grip, eliciting a loud moan that would make a lady of the night blush at the sheer wantonness and need in Gasper’s voice.

‘’Y-yes! T-take me! Resize my… my tight pussy into Senpai’s shape!’’ She moaned. ‘’I want my body to be Senpai’s only… so… so…!’’

And were those same moans that sent me into a frenzy, digging my face deep into the dhampir’s chest while I pushed her body up and down like the world’s cutest little cocksleeve, turning the lovemaking into a loop of pleasure that kept repeating.

Until something had to give, of course.

A mouth clamped shut on my neck, yet I didn’t feel fangs penetrating skin. What I did feel, however, was Gasper clamping on me like she never wanted me to pull out.

And it’s not like I could, as my sack throbbed as I pumped rope after rope in her tight, needy Dhampir pussy, making sure to stuff it to the brim and then some.

‘’Mnggg! Senpai Ish filling me up!’’ Gasper's muffled moans were like music to my ears. ‘’Itsh too mush… It’s so hot…!’’

‘’Well then, you’ll just have to be good and take it all.’’ I teased in between harsh breaths.

Our bodies shook together with the aftershocks of our combined orgasm. Yet, for some reason, my core felt like it burned like never before.

It was then that I realized the nature of this thing afflicting my body.

[Páthos Krima] has become stronger…

The previous tiredness and satisfaction were replaced by heat and need, coming twice as strong as before, and before I noticed, I had Gasper on her back against the ground. The dizzy dhampir looked up at me with wide, cloudy eyes as I pulled out…

And immediately slammed myself back inside her, using the cum I had stuffed into her as makeshift lube to make the thrust all that smoother.

‘’A-AH! S-senpai?! Wait… I’m still sensitive after—O-ohh?!’’ Gasper’s face went from nervous to open-mouthed surprise as I rammed myself into the entrance of her womb without any waiting in between. ‘’O-oh… Uhhh! My pussy… Senpai is going to break my pushyyy!’’

‘’I sure am.’’ I breathed out, mind and soul burning with need as I clutched her hips with an evil grin. ‘’You wanted me to mold you into my shape, right? Be careful with what you ask for, Gasper!’’

Moans filled the air as I kick-started our second round. The slap of my hips against Gasper’s freshly fucked cunt was all I could focus on.

Yet, unlike usual, where my second load would take longer to come out, I felt ready to burst after just a few minutes of back and forth. Uninhibited and without any shame, I pushed myself balls deep as I fed Gasper’s womb its second meal of the night.

‘’S-sho much… my womb… stuffed to the brim…’’

Yet, as I looked upon the mess that was Gasper’s pleasured face. With a fucked-silly smile and disoriented eyes…

I knew that it was not going to be nearly enough.

My hands glowed with healing magic to dissipate any soreness or pain in the dhampir’s body, just as my lips fused with hers in a needy, deep kiss. The moment I sensed clarity returning to her, I was teasing her folds, eager for more.

Internally, I apologized. But these insatiable lusts would not impede me from showing Gasper the best night of her life.

-X-x-X-

[Páthos Krima] has become stronger…

That was the third time that the message had popped up this night—Err… morning now.

I definitely went overboard, and even tucking the dhampir into my bed, along with the resting form of Koneko and Mittelt, didn’t feel enough to make up for it.

‘But more than that…’ I stepped out of the room, allowing me a deep sigh of relief as sweat ran down my brow in rivulets. ‘Just what is this damn thing?’

With every pop-up, I felt my body growing restless. The earlier heat in my loins and core was now a raging, painful inferno. I had to actively restrain myself from taking it with Gasper any further since she was so out of it after the… fifth round?

‘Shit’s starting to get blurry…’ I clicked my tongue, frowning. ‘Alright… I need to break this thing, but how—’

The sound of soft, animated humming reached my ears.

For some reason, the smell of lavender filled my nose, and I felt myself walking downstairs.

It was a perfume I didn’t smell much, but I knew only one girl who wore it from time to time, since we had spent a lot of time just cuddled up against each other.

And sure enough, when I looked forward while stepping foot into the kitchen, there was a head of long, red hair, cooking something on the stove that smelled absolutely delicious.

Now, that won’t be much of a surprise itself. I knew Rias could cook, as she could do an assortment of a lot of things. Something about ‘if someone else can do it, then I can too.’

A mentality both attractive and praiseworthy, but that wasn’t the point, no.

If it were Rias just cooking breakfast, I would hug her, maybe help out, or just watch while making jokes.

It was the state of her clothing while cooking that caught my attention… or a lack thereof, to be precise.

Swinging her hips from side to side to the rhythm of a song I didn’t quite recognize, the crimson devil, my King, was cooking naked with only an apron on.

A piece of clothing that did absolutely nothing in covering her perfect, praise-worthy, worship-deserving, bouncy yet firm ass from bouncing side to side to her animated hums.

I felt it again, that impulse to take, along with the raging curse now ever-present at the back of my head.

And I just couldn’t bring myself to say no to it.

‘Today was going to be a long day…’ I nodded wisely while approaching the sinfully hot woman like a starving man.

Author's Note:

You know, since this is chapter 68, and next one is chapter *69*, with Zatren having that curse...

Yeah, I set it up for chapter 69 to be a horny chapter. It was also the first time I ever did a practically full-smut chapter, and while definitely an experience, I'll probably not be doing that soon, lol.

The name of the Curse Zatren got placed on him is not a direct translation per se (and ngl, I wrote it quite a bit ago, so the me from the past clearly had the vision much clearer), but it should be related to a ''Misfortune's Judgement''. Basically referring to how Aphrodite, in her ''grief'' just cursed Zatren, a very loving/caring man, to harm his lovers with an act that should express their love for each other.
