Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

As soon as Izuku made it home, he was welcomed by Ibara and Asia as all three of them were setting the food for dinner on the table and getting to feast.

When Asia asked him why he was away for a long time, Izuku told her that he was distracted by the beauty of the afternoon sky. As much as he hated to lie to her, he just had to leave out the part where Akeno cuddled him in a rather… naughty way. He really didn't want Asia nor did he wanted Ibara to be as perverted as their black-haired senpai since they used to be nuns back then.

After finishing dinner, he took care of the dishes and made his way upstairs to his room to change his clothes and put his school uniform in the wash but Before doing so, he closed his eyes for a bit.

"The still air that doth encompass me, I invoke thee, to wield thy might to vanquish mine foes; glide through mine veins with but a mere gesture of mine hand."

Izuku said in a chant as his eyes glowed, feeling a bit of numbness from his hands, he flicked it-- but the results were just simple static that only caused the hair on his forearms to rise, this got Izuku to clicked his tongue,"I'm good at fire but I know I can produce more magic to follow the same procedure with other elements, is it because I can't bypass my imaginative state? Or is it because of the rash decision I made when I was younger?" Izuku said out loud while folding his arms across his chest.

{You have enough time to practice your techniques some other time partner but right now shouldn't you be taking a bath}

Ddraig said towards Izuku while chuckling a bit which made Izuku confused but never the less he understood that he did indeed needed to take a bath.

After changing into a blue shirt and black short pants, and finally putting his school uniform in the wash, Izuku was now laying on his bed, thinking about what happened between him and Akeno.

"Yeah, it's safe to say she really likes me."

Izuku twitches his legs a little, still feeling the squeeze Akeno gave to his rear end.

"Why else would she go this far during her cuddling? I know she teases me with her winking and flirting, but what she did back there definitely confirms her affections towards me."

Izuku lets out a sigh before he continued thinking aloud.

"Don't get me wrong, she's cute, and she's a really kind girl. And…"

Izuku didn't notice his cheeks were starting to turn a little red while beginning to say his next sentence.

"She was gentle with me…"

Izuku shot his head from his pillow and rapidly shook his head. He then clutched onto it in annoyance.

"Let's not think about that for a while now" Izuku said with his partner thinking otherwise that caused Izuku to narrow his eyes at the hand that held the spirit of the Boosted Gear.

Breathing another sigh, Izuku got up from his bed and made his way towards the bathroom, but not before picking up some fresh towels with him.

As soon as Izuku made it to the bathroom door, he made sure to give it three knocks before entering, just in case someone was in there.

"Yes?"

Izuku widened his eyes a little when he recognized the voice he heard from behind the door. Taking a deep breath to calm down, he proceeded to say what any sane person would say, but with a little shyness to it.

"Oh, I just wanted to check if anyone was there before I got in to use the shower."

Izuku heard Asia gasp from behind the door.

"I-I-Izuku-san?"

Izuku's cheeks tinged pink at how she called his name, but that didn't stop him from replying as calm as he could.

"Y-Yeah, it's me. Don't worry, I'll wait for you to finish before I have my turn."

Izuku then immediately turned around from the bathroom door and started making his way back to his room. As soon as he made two steps away from the door, he jumped a little when he heard the door suddenly slide open from behind him.

"No, wait!"

Izuku gasped with widened eyes and dropped his towels when he was suddenly latched onto from behind by a naked, damp, Asia. Izuku blushed two shades of red when he felt his shirt getting wet, and Asia's bust pressed against his back when she was hugging him from behind.

"A-A-Asia, what are you doing?!" He asked with nervousness heard in his voice.

"I… I'm sorry," Asia apologized, noticing how nervous he looked when she looked at him with her soft, green eyes, and the same shade of red in her cheeks as Izuku's were. "It's just that… I've been thinking about something while I was in here… And I thought you might want to hear it."

Swallowing a lump, Izuku turns his head right to face Asia and looks at her in the eyes. Asia blushed another shade of red, as she had become very fond to his soft, gentle emerald eyes ever since they hanged out together back then.

"Wh… What is it?" Izuku asked, afraid of where this is going to go.

"Well… I was thinking…" Asia's cheeks were now a shade of a tomato as she continued from there. "Will you… Bathe with me?"

"WHAT?!" Izuku exclaimed in shock and surprise, but quietly enough so his Ibara didn't hear.

{Oh boy, Here we go again!} Ddraig said in Izuku's mind while laughing.

"Well, you see…" Asia began to explain shyly. "They say taking a bath together can bring people a lot closer. So I thought that maybe we could do that together."

Izuku's jaw dropped at her explanation. He could not believe what he was hearing right now.

With curiosity in overdrive, Izuku asked Asia: "Wh-Wh-Where or who told you that this was the case?!"

Asia looked down in what appeared to be embarrassment as she answered his question

"S-Shinso-san told me so. She said that by interacting during a bath, you're supposed to… understand each other."

Izuku widened his eyes again.

'She told her this?! My classmate who's part of Sona Sitri's peerage, told her about bathing with the opposite sex?! WHY?! Did she think we were dating?!'

Asia noticed the distressed look on Izuku's face after she told him what Aika said to her.

"I apologize for making you uncomfortable," Asia said shyly. "I just want… to understand you on a deeper level!"

Izuku flinched when he felt Asia's hug tighten around his chest.

Asia continued from there while having tears threaten to leave her eyes.

"Ever since you told me that I was your friend no matter what, and back when you went so far in your fight against Dohnaseek just to save my life, I felt… Happy. I felt happy simply being around you! Of all of the people that have made me happy after my new life as a Devil began, you were the greatest source of that happiness! You are the number one reason I'm still here today, and I can never be more grateful to you than I am right now!"

Izuku's eyes widened and softened at the same time.

"That's why…" Asia continued, looking back into his forest-green eyes. "That's why I want to bathe with you. I want to make a deeper connection in our relationship as friends."

Izuku face turned bright red at her declaration as he was feeling conflicted about his current situation.

'If I refuse her, she'll be sad. But If I bathe with her, Ibara might found out about this and will get the wrong idea about what we're doing and I might go unconscious! Damn you, shy trait!'

Izuku then blinked twice with wide eyes as he came up with an idea.

'I've got it! I'm not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a shot!'

Izuku takes a deep breath and picks up his towels from the floor. Asia tilted her head to the side, curious about what he was doing.

After gathering the towels in his arms, Izuku turned around and looked Asia in her eyes, rendering another blush from her.

"Listen, Asia," he began, getting her full attention. "It takes a lot of mental preparation and stability to be in a bath with the opposite sex, whether you know that man or not."

"Huh?" Asia tilts her head again with a question mark popping out of her head.

"Look, what I'm trying to say is, I'm not ready to do something like that. I mean look at me," Izuku points at his blushing face. "I'm not ready to be in a room naked with a woman. I'm not mentally prepared to handle it."

"Asia-chan, I got you some fresh towels for you."

Izuku froze in place when he heard the sound of Ibara coming upstairs. Before either Izuku or Asia could do or say anything, she arrived at the bathroom door with three towels stacked up in her hands and widened her eyes a little to see a naked Asia, and Izuku who was clothed with his own set of towels with him.

Izuku, who noticed the other nun jumped with a yelp and tried to explain but then Ibara smiled, "Oh! You've already got some ready for Asia-chan~! Izuku-san, you're such a gentleman"

"Eh?"

Izuku gave her a blank stare before connecting two and two together.

"Oh! Uh, yeah! I've got it all taken care of! Ha ha ha ha!"

Izuku went to Asia while laughing nervously and gently handed her his towels. He then gave Asia a wave with closed eyes and a smile as he sped-walked back to his room.

"You go ahead and enjoy the bath!"

"Wait, Izuku-san!"

Before she could say anything else to him, he entered his room and closed the door behind him, causing Asia to sigh in defeat.

'Aww, I was really hoping we could bathe together.'

"Did you try talking to Izuku-san into taking a bath with you, Asia?"

Asia jumped when she heard Ibara ask her that and began stuttering with a dark blush.

"I, well, you see, I…" She sighs in defeat. "Yeah… I did."

Ibara giggled in response and hugged Asia, "there's no need to rush things Asia. Izuku-san is a boy who's just nervous around a girl who's naked infront of him and isn't ready to take that leap, give it time ok?"

Ibara said towards Asia while taking off her clothes so that both her and Asia can take a bath together.

Meanwhile with a cinnamon roll in his room.

"Sweet Hell!"

Izuku was clutching his head in frustration with light-red cheeks as he paced himself around his room.

"First, Akeno-senpai and now, Asia?!"

Izuku falls backwards onto his bed and lets out a big sigh.

"Damn what did I do to make them attracted to me? Sure, I am a nice guy, and I'm willing to do what I can to protect my friends, but I didn't expect those girls to like me. Especially Asia. Back when she walked in and out of school, and the club room, she would sometimes cling onto my arm from time to time. I knew she liked me as a friend, but I didn't think she'd like me that much."

Izuku folds his arms behind his head and stares up towards his ceiling.

"It's not that I don't want a girlfriend or anything like that, it's just that with multiple girls having feelings for me, It's gonna be hard for me to choose which one to be with without making the others sad. Also… There is her…"

Izuku's cheeks turned light-red when he began thinking about the one girl that was currently on his mind.

*SHINE!*

Izuku was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the sound of teleportation in his room. When he turned his head right to find the source, he discovered that it was a red teleportation circle, and there was a bright aura taking on the form of a person coming from it.

After a few seconds pass, it was revealed to be Rias who arrived in his room, and she had a desperate look on her face.

"Rose?" Izuku had surprise in the tone in his voice, as he was not expecting her to show up here. "What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"

Rias didn't answer him. She reached for Izuku's light switch and flicked it town, turning off his lights. Izuku became even more surprised when he then saw Rias lock his door behind her.

"H-H-Hey, Rose?" Izuku was starting to get a little nervous when Rias slowly walked towards him with a bright blush on her cheeks after removing her blazer and footwear, making him land his butt back onto his bed.

"Izu…"

Izuku widened his eyes at the tone Rias used in her voice. She sounded worried, afraid of what would happen to her if she doesn't do what she came here to do.

"Please, make love to me!"

Izuku yelped at her sudden request.

"Wait, wha-"
