The next day Tetsuya lay in a bed, groaning as his eyes fluttered, beginning to wake up after all the events that had happened the day before. His eyes finally opened as he sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"I'm.. Alive?" Tetsuya blinked, he looked down seeing he was naked then looked beside him and saw... a completely naked Kiba lying beside him and looking at him, smiling?! "Last night was amazing," Kiba had said, then Tetsuya screamed. Then, in real life, Tetsuya actually woke up still screaming, shooting forward to sit up, and breathed heavily.
"Oh, thank god that was just a nightmare." Tetsuya sighed in relief, looking around, realizing that it was his home. "How did I get here?" He pondered, realizing he was naked like he was in his dream, yet his manhood is still protected as he heard a voice next to him.
"Why are you waking up screaming?" A feminine voice said beside him as he looked over and saw a certain red-haired devil in his bed that also happened to be naked, as he subconsciously said, "Oh, thank fuck you aren't Kiba."
Rias had yawned and then looked at him, confused, "Kiba?" Tetsuya realized and covered up and said, "Let's just say I had a bad dream."
Rias looked amused and sat up with him, not bothering to cover herself. He briefly glanced at her body since the view was offered, then made eye contact with her as she teasingly said, "Oh, so you dream about boys, Tetsuya? I didn't know you swung that way."
Tetsuya deadpanned and said, "Shut up." he then plopped back on his bed as she giggled as he said, "I'm assuming you're not naked in my bed just to tease me."
"Nope, but I'm surprised you don't have a reaction to my body like most boys would. Am I not attractive to you?" Rias spoke as she purposely pushed her boobs up, trying to tease him with her body.
"Oh no, you're definitely beautiful, but I won't give you the satisfaction of seeing me flustered."
"Oh is that so? Maybe I should step my game up." Rias spoke with a teasing grin

"Now then, if you're done playing games, care to tell me what happened?" Tetsuya spoke lazily as he examined his body, realizing all his injuries were gone.
"Well, if you want me to start from the beginning."
Then, in a flashback from last night, we see a red summoning circle appear at the park where Tetsuya had fought the fallen angel. The current four members of Rias's peerage step out as they view the scene and see the destruction of the area.
"This seems to have been the area where we detected mana and a fallen angel." Rias had pondered a bit, amazed by what had happened and the park's current state.
"Ara this place is practically an ice field," Akeno said, intrigued as she observed how the entire ground of the park was encased in ice from Tetsuya's last stand.
"It seems to have been quite the battle." Kiba said as he observed the surroundings, noting that a lot of the trees in the area had been crushed. It'll take some work to clean this up.
Meanwhile, Koneko stayed silent, just observing the area, noticing the smell of blood as she looked in the direction where Tetsuya had fallen to his knees and began to collapse backward as he bled out.
"There's someone dying over there." Koneko blankly pointed out, making everyone look over at the same time.
It only took a few minutes of recognition before Rias and Akeno recognized him and rushed forward, yelling out "Tetsuya!" as they used their wings to quickly float over to his side.to try and slow down the bleeding from the literal hole in his chest.
"Is he the one who did all this, but where is the fallen that he must've been fighting?" Kiba noted as he and Koneko had followed less urgently.
Koneko looked over at the ground near Tetsuya, "Fallen Angel." She noted as the others looked over in realization, while Akeno's eyes subtly narrowed in satisfaction.
"Seems there's more to Tetsuya, like we suspected Rias."
"Yeah" Rias had supplied back, simply looking a bit worried. It would be so easy for her to take advantage of this opportunity and turn him into her peerage member. But she seemed hesitant to do it, not without his permission, for some reason, she finds herself caring how he thinks about her.
The conversation they had just a few hours ago had been fun, where she felt like she was just Rias and not just the Gremory princess.
"He's going to need medical attention soon, or he's going to die." Kiba had pointed out as Akeno had begun to volunteer with a mischievous grin on her face.
"Sure I'll do i-." But had been cut off midway by Rias as she said, "I'll do it." The two met each other's eyes in a sort of challenging glance. Rias hadn't known why she had volunteered so fast, but for some reason, the thought of Akeno healing Tetsuya with that special method before her bothered her.
"Ara? Rias, you don't have to do it, you know~ I'm more than capable of taking care of Tetsuya."
"No I insist, besides, I'm the only one that knows where he lives."
"You're sounding pretty possessive over there. sure you don't have ulterior motives? Like wanting to see him naked?"
Rias faintly blushed and glared and was about to retort when Kiba had remarked once more, both amused and baffled 'He's not going to last much longer, the longer you two spend arguing, you know."
That brought them back to the main matter at hand as Rias had taken the chance in distraction to scoop Tetsuya up in her arms carefully and then disappeared into a magic circle, leaving Akeno to pout. While Kiba looked amused, Koneko just stared blankly.
Now, back in the present time, Rias had finished recounting the events of last night to Tetsuya, leaving out the part where she had practically fought with Akeno over who would be the one to heal him out of embarrassment. "That's basically all that happened." Rias had finished
Tetsuya had listened to the whole story and nodded in thought before he spoke, "Looks like I owe it to you that I'm still alive then, thanks." Rias had a smile and simply said, "It was no problem at all." They stared into each other's eyes for a while before Tetsuya pulled away and said, "I'm sure we both have questions that we want to ask each other."
"Yeah I'm pretty sure we do, but first we should get dressed unless you plan to keep ogling me." While Rias's own eyes had briefly glanced at Tetsuya's physique
"Yeah like you're not doing the same thing, princess." He said sarcastically, making her giggle as they got out of bed and began to get dressed. While he settled for just putting on his school pants when Rias had asked him.
"Come help me hook on my bra." She said, showing her back to him, her bra on in the front as he shrugged, "Sure," as he hooked it without much of a problem, as she was amused by him not being flustered. He really seemed to be determined not to give her opportunities to tease him.

And so the two got fully dressed and then sat on his bed, having to get ready for the conversation ahead.
"Looks like the main plot is finally starting to kick in, although I'm a bit concerned that I still have no idea where the red dragon emperor is. This verse may not be the same one I know. This may be an anomaly or a parallel verse. I shouldn't assume everything will go like it did in the original plot." Where the last thing Tetsuya thought before he sighed and faced Rias.
Before he could even consider anything else, he first had a crimson princess to deal with. This is going to be a long day ahead.
