A/N: Okay, I think now I'm truly done. Up until if ever decide to make a sequel. Which would take time, like months.

How she loved this man.

The feel of his skin. How delightfully hot his skin was to the touch. How she yearned for their closeness, how he called out her name; there were no words to describe it.

Her hold tightened around the sheets. She heard his deep breaths, felt them flow down her neck that sent pleasant shivers down her spine. He was rougher, faster and she felt every movement. It was almost hard to breath. It was too much. His weight atop her back was a blessing. She felt the heat, and the sweat that fell off her brow. He kissed the back of her neck. She saw stars, and her mind went blank and bliss flowed through her. She felt him release.

Naruto collapsed atop of her, and she heard his labored breaths. She was in same state, her heart racing she thought it might burst. She felt her legs tremble. They lay there for a long while until they got their bearings. She reached for the night stand to clean herself.

"You were loud," he said, breathless.

"Was I? I didn't even notice,"

Naruto shifted his weight and he pulled her closer. His hand snaked across her belly.

"I love you," he said. Her heart fluttered every time he said it.

"I love you too," she replied. It was unfortunate that he never said it so often. However, every time they came together like this, he always said it. It was also fortunate that she found out she liked this.

Rias felt her eyes flutter, exhaustion crept in. "Can we stay in bed?"

It was a side effect of her soul transfer. She noticed that she grew exhausted more easily. Sakura had confirmed that the issues weren't serious, but that fatigue came easy, and recovery was longer.

He hummed and found her hand and interlocked it with his own. "Okay,"

It was all worth it; for moments like these.

She fluttered in and out of consciousness. Usually caused by him, or with how she tried to get a more comfortable spot. It was only until she was forced out of bed by natural urges that she awoke. She woke up alone. The time on the alarm clock showed it was late in the afternoon.

The smell and sound of cooking came from the kitchen. She found one of his shirts, simple and more comfortable to put on and wear.

She walked out and found him. Almost everything was stored in boxes or packed up and ready to move. He noticed her, his gaze trailing up her body. She got closer and kissed him.

"It's impossible to stay in bed all day," he replied.

"Then we'll just go back to it," she left for the washroom.

"I was supposed to move out today~"

After she was done, she found that he had finished cooking. It was a simple dish, some potatoes and eggs. She felt her stomach grumble.

"Couch, or bed?"

"Couch,"

He went into the living room, it was bare except for television and couch. He sat, and she snuggled up to him. He turned on the tv, but she didn't pay attention to it. She still felt sleepy, but her hunger won out.

Sometimes she was fed, but she grabbed the hash browns by hand. "Ugh, did we really not eat all day?"

"You're the one who wanted to stay in bed." Naruto replied.

"It's not everyday that we get a full day to ourselves," she hummed and took a bite of the food. She thought of this morning, "Remember our first time?"

He winced "Please no,"

She laughed, "What? It was lovely,"

"It wasn't even that long ago, neither of us barely knew what we were doing. It wasn't–ugh, please don't" His eyes went distant.

"Please what?" she teased.

"Don't make me relive it,"

She grinned but relented all the same. "Fine, but I still think it was lovely,"

Rias was full then, but there was still food left on the plate. She rested her eyes, cuddling up to his warmth. She waited for him to finish.

"Back to bed?"

"yeah," she replied. He carried her back to the safeness of his room. It was bare, it had lost all the character in their attempt to move out.

Once she was let down, she tossed off his shirt and cuddled up to him. She still remembered all those times she didn't miss. She fell asleep with him in her arms.

Rias had a dream, it was all about him.

"Fuck," he cursed.

She stumbled upon him. He lay in the rubble near the side of a building several stories high. She had to fly up. He held his stomach, stained with blood. He grunted as he pressed on the soppy wet clothes, it cloaked his hands red.

"–took, everything,"

She was noticed as she knelt beside him. His blue eyes wavered, but he kept them up. There was power inside, and she felt it. Not that any ordinary human could survive being thrown through a couple of buildings. No one appeared hurt, luckily.

"I am Rias Gremory," she said. "You're about to die. I can help you, you can survive, provided I turn you into a devil,"

"no, too much to do," he said breathlessly. "I don't need it, just give…me a–"

His eyes closed. She felt something else then, a spark, something that wasn't him, but it did from inside.

She had to make a choice, leave him dead, or turn him. She didn't have much time to decide. It was rather easy for her. This young man had some sort of magical talent. He would come to enjoy being a devil, it had all sorts of perks then being purely mortal.

She remembered the aftermath in her apartment.

His eyes had flashed in anger, and he rose to his full height. "What did you do?" he growled.

"I saved your life,"

"What the hell does a devil even mean?"

She answered his question, but the moment she said that it prolonged his life by centuries was when he had lashed out.

"I didn't need that! Whoever you are," he replied. "I'm outta here,"

"Wa–wait!" she called out. Except, he was dead set on the window, he opened and jumped out. Unfazed at the height and launched himself a great distance and set a fast pace.

She was going to lose a Knight piece just like that? No, she wouldn't allow that to happen. Whoever this boy was, he was definitely no ordinary human. For now, he seemed inconsolable. She needed to send her familiar.

She screamed when something burst through the wall. It glowed faintly, but it went dark too quickly to catch it. She readied her power, but in the debris, it was her new knight.

He groaned and writhed on the floor. He held a hand in to his head.

"Hey! Are you okay!" she went to him and kneeled. It was several moments before he went back to some sort of normalcy.

He breathed heavily, and a red eye stared into her. It was blue a moment ago, "What the fuck did you do to me?" She felt a power, enough that it made the building shake.

"I–I don't know, that's not supposed to happen,"

"Make me better," he demanded.

He had power, and he knew how to use it. Those were her only thoughts. She blinked, "In time, you'll feel better once your body gets accustomed to it,"

He sat up, eyes that were filled with doubt. "It better,"

She didn't even know his name. Somebody started to bang on the door.

Rias awoke in his arms. His hands turned a page of his favorite book. The one where he was named after; she hadn't gotten a chance to read it yet.

She shifted around and looked up at him. There was a curious glint to his eyes.

"Kiss me," she said.

He grinned, and he did as she asked. It was always so tender, far from the intense kisses she gave him. She loved it still.

"still sleepy?" he asked.

"You did keep me up all night,"

"You make it sound so dirty,"

She laughed, it wasn't the whole night. "I did have fun with your friends though,"

"Sorry we were out so late,"

"no, it was fun,"

He rolled his eyes, "Will you able to sleep tonight?"

Her eyes glazed, "I can think of a few things to get me tired,"

He laughed and shook his head. "Go back to sleep,"

"I like this lazy day," she murmured. Her dreams went from place to place. They weren't quite as she remembered them.

"Why did you beat up those students?" she asked. She was ignored, his headphones were on, and the music turned louder. She frowned and looked to Akeno for assistance.

Akeno laughed, her eyes alight with amusement, "Uzumaki, why did you beat up those poor boys? Not that I didn't enjoy it,"

Naruto turned her attention to Akeno, "Because I treat poor little Rias so badly, apparently,"

Sometimes, she didn't know what to think that she called her by name, as if they were so familiar but he called everyone by their first names.

"Oh, is that it?"

"They started it, I finished it. Imagined if they really knew Rias,"

Or when she tried to get him to do any Devil responsibilities.

"I'm not doing any of those contracts, or getting a familiar,"

She frowned, he was being resistant. As always, "Why not?"

"What use do I have for them? I don't care about rising up in devil ranks, or about something I probably won't use,"

"It's a prop–"

He waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I'm not going,"

Postponing another visit. Why did he have to deny who he was?

That wasn't him.

When she found him listening to a song in a music store. He looked distant, his head rhythmically nodding to a song. This would be an excellent opportunity. She tapped his shoulder, and he turned.

"Yeah?"

"Would you like that?"

He raised a brow, "Well if you're offering,"

She dreamt of the night before Riser appeared.

She remembered a hint of his power when he first appeared. Anything would be of use, Of course, she thought of solutions, a desperate last bid to end her arrangement. However, she was stuck here. It ended when she remembered her Knight was always required to be at her side. Seducing him was probably impossible too. Then, Grayfia had arrived when she couldn't think of other solutions.

She sighed and had to convince Naruto to come along.

Rias awoke again, and it was dark outside. The clock clicked past midnight. Naruto was snoring lightly. She moved closer, having spread further apart during the night.

She wouldn't say they were nightmares, but they weren't pleasant dreams.

Rias admired him. His short blond hair, those marks, his lean body. Sometimes, she didn't believe this. That now they were here, when it had been so tense for so long in the beginning.

The memory of the first time he said he loved her flickered across her mind. They hadn't done anything special that day. She hadn't made any huge promise, nor had he alluded to it. They were on his couch, and talked about the mundane parts of their day, when he simply turned to her and said those words.

"Naruto," she whispered. He stirred. "Naruto~"

"Rias, something the matter?" He said. His voice came husky and thick, and it made her shiver. His eyes seem to glow in the moonlight.

"Something like that," she rose, and straddled him. "I can't sleep,"

He groaned, "You want me to bend to your every need?"

She smiled, "Something like that,"

Rias awoke sometime in the morning. There was a lot of noise outside the room., shuffling and steps. She laid there for a long while before she decided to get up. She yawned loudly, enough that she caught his attention.

Naruto stuck his head inside,"No staying in bed today, I actually have to move out. you gonna help or not?"

"I have to get ready first,"

"Guess that's a no,"

She stuck her tongue at him, "I have to get my stuff too, besides, I'm not as helpful as dozens of you,"

Clones moved into the background, carrying boxes of belongings. He shrugged and went on his way. She gathered her clothes together and went into the washroom. When she got out, a kitchen was practically empty but there was some cold on the counter that she ate.

She dried her hair and got ready for today. He was busy in the living room, and she got her shoes. "I'll see you,"

He looked up, "Yup! I'll be there once I finish moving all this crap."

A red seal appeared underneath as she channeled her teleportation. She appeared in her old apartment, which had gone unused for quite some time since she slept at Naruto's., However, he wasn't there often since he had missions to complete.

Wow, her boyfriend was a ninja! It became especially apparent these times.

Her phone rung several times. Some old texts flickered to life when she reconnected. Akeno was the most recent, a question to speak with her. She replied that she was in her apartment for a next hour or so. The other texts weren't so pressing, so she focused on gathering the last of her stuff.

Most things she wanted to keep were already in boxes, the others could be given away. She gathered the rest of her stuff and placed them in the kitchen. The electronics often weren't compatible, it was like visiting another country.

This entire ordeal was different, before they were forced to live together, but now they decided too. Not that it was a difficult decision since they were used to it.

Akeno arrived then, she unlocked the door with her own spare key. Rias had been busy stocking one the last couple of boxes of her stuff.

"Buchou," she said.

Rias smiled. her chore forgotten, she went to give her a hug, "Hey! How has my Queen been doing this weekend?"

Rias returned to the table and tried to pack in another box.

Akeno smiled, but it was sad. "My, my, haven't you noticed how you look?"

"What do you mean by that? Is something the matter?" She felt sore, but her clothing didn't reveal them. She looked fine when she left Naruto's.

"I guess you haven't." Akeno sighed. "I'm jealous. You look, absolutely blissful. Your happiness is radiant,"

Rias' hands froze, and she looked to her best friend. She thought of Naruto, and it made her heart skip. "I am," she confessed.

Her eyes downcast, "Is that what love looks like? How does it feel?"

"I guess," Rias replied. Was it that obvious? "It's hard to describe. When I'm with him, and the way he looks at me, I feel like I'm going to burst. Every time he smiles at me, I feel weightless,"

Akeno had pressed her lips together, arms crossed, and brows furrowed. Her eyes watered, and her voice came quick, "I want what you have, I want to feel the way you do. I want him,"

Rias gasped, emotions swept through her. She wanted to say that Naruto was hers alone, but that quickly left. Rias unwrapped her hold around a small box.

Rias remembered all the times Naruto spent with other girls. Sometimes, when she was distracted by something, other girls would take advantage. Those random women that would come up to him on the street. Sometimes they would sling their arm around his. While with his friends, he would make them laugh, slap his arm from a joke he made. Including those brief moments he spent with Akeno. How they would giggle together, whisper in each other's ear.

It always sent wild emotions through Rias. Awful jealously. Those random women were easier, she would come up and grab his hands, and she feel a surge of victory when they walked off together. His friends were another story altogether. She would try to get his attention, and it would work for a bit before he went back to them.

Azazel's words echoed in her mind. It always had whenever he spent time with another woman.

How far would you go for his happiness? Would you go as far as convincing him to possess a harem?

"Buchou?" Akeno said.

Rias flinched. Shaken from the depths of her thoughts, "S–Sorry, I was thinking,"

She knew Akeno, she was her best friend after all. Naruto's happiness was the most important thing to Rias. She also wanted her Queen to be happy.

"Maybe, he'll want you too," Rias said. Though it hurt to say.

Akeno's eyes widened, "Really?"

"Yes. I did manage to make him fall for me after all," Rias said. She forced out a smile, "He's a devil after all, harems are normal,"

Akeno smiled and giggled. "That's true, and he kinda hated you at first, didn't he?"

It was quite the road, "I can speak to him about it too,"

"You'd do that? Akeno asked. Then her eyes widened in shock. Rias felt a presence behind her.

"boo," Naruto said.

Rias jumped and screamed. "Stop doing that!" she turned and hit his chest. He laughed, and he realized they weren't alone.

"Oh, hey Akeno!"

"hello, Naruto," she smiled. Naruto stayed by her side.

"How have you been? It's been a while, sorry about that, I've been busy with missions, I do have to make a living too,"

"That's okay, I'm doing better now. I've missed you,"

Rias listened at their easy interaction, she realized she was staring and busied herself with her packing.

Naruto grinned, "I missed you too, is that perv around here?"

Akeno laughed, "No, he isn't,"

"Well, I'm excited for when you guys can visit my home,"

Rias could share him. She would get over it soon enough.

"I'm excited for it,"

"Rias?" Naruto said. She looked up to him, his eyes inquisitive. "You ready? Are these all your stuff you're bringing?"

He mentioned toward at a collection of things around the table, "Oh, yes. That's everything so far,"

"Cool, should we get going then?" Naruto replied. He made clones and picked up all the boxes. It left her with nothing to carry, "I'll see you later, Akeno,"

She blinked, "oh, uhm, okay,"

"You remember where it was, right?" Naruto asked her, and Rias nodded.

Akeno waved goodbye, as the seal appeared underneath them. They appeared outside the house, and the clones set out inside. She marveled at the house; it was two stories, modest, but this was to be her home.

"come on," Naruto grasped her hand and led her inside.

Many clones of him were busy, they moved furniture or carried boxes through the halls or up the stairs. Once they took off their shoes, they went into the living room.

"Is something the matter?"

Rias frowned, she wanted one last day to not worry about it. "I've just been thinking," He tilted his head, and waited for her to continue. He pulled her closer and played with a strand of her hair between his fingers.

She got distracted when she did that and went back to the task at hand. She looked away, "I've been thinking about all the ways I could make you happy,"

Naruto hummed, "have you?"

Rias nodded, "That's why, I'll be fine with it, should you want a harem,"

His eyes widened, shock clearly written on his face. Then he laughed, hard. Rias went red the longer he laughed.

"Wh-What?"

He laughed even more, tears came out of his eyes and he held his stomach, "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard you say,"

Rias crossed her arms, she felt the terrible flush everywhere, "Are you going to explain yourself?"

He let out one final laugh, but he stole one look at her and chuckled one last time. "Is this what you were worried about? Rias, just because any girl is my friend, doesn't mean I want them, or that I love them like you. I love my friends, yes, and I'd die for them. It's like you said, that applies to me too. I want nobody to love me like you,"

She felt so silly she cried, "I was trying not to be selfish, I wanted to make you as happy as possible,"

He shook his head, then he picked her up and held her knees. He kissed her several times, her lips and cheeks, "I want you to be selfish. Jeez, how many times have I talked shit about harems?"

She sniffed, and played with her hands, "Every time, I don't know, I guess I was waiting for it."

Naruto carried her to the couch. He sat down and sighed, he looked at her so deeply she flushed again. "I thought a lot of about love, maybe I thought too much, or maybe too little. But I think I can describe it,"

"What is it?" she asked. He kissed her again.

"Love is simply wanting to make each other happy. And I want to make you happy, more than anyone I've ever met in both our worlds. You, before anyone else,"

She felt her heart flutter like crazy, it was hard to believe that he could be so romantic. She agreed with it, but it was also somehow too simple of an description. She felt hot then, and she wanted more kisses. "I want that for you too," she whispered.

"Good," he smiled. "Now get off me, I got to go to the washroom,"

It was no longer romantic. She did as he asked, "Idiot," she muttered.

"What?" She crossed her arms and glared at him as he left.

Rias looked around, it was already looking homey. The kitchen had grocery bags, and a clone was stocking the fridge. While she had been here before, she decided to take another look. She looked around her new home, clones were all over the place.

Many areas felt bare, simply because it was a much larger place. In one large room, she found the boxes that belonged to her. Filled to the brim with her manga, and other things from Japan. She leaned in the doorway, there was only a couple of small shelves, but they could get more.

Rias pictured it, book shelves that went to the ceiling, stocked with books. Perhaps a little couch to read. Then she imagined other things, a small crib in the corner, toys, and the walls painted red or orange. A son's or a daughter's room. She went to another room and pictured the same. She thought of wonderful, imaginary things.

More and more, the clones began to disappear as they finished their work. She marveled at how quickly they had moved into a new place. Days work into hours.

Rias moved into their new room, there was no clone in here. The bed wasn't made, but the sheets and blankets were stored in a box. She busied herself by making the bed, and she was found by him. He stood there, silent, and admiring.

"What?" she asked.

His blue eyes grew resolute. "Y'know, I never made a such a silly promise before, because it never even crossed my mind. Simply because at how stupid I think it is. But this matters to you, and there's really no way to go about it. I'll never have a harem, there. That's a promise," He released a hearty laugh and rubbed the nape of his neck. "That felt stupid,"

She laughed. it was a promise, and he was a man of his word. He was too stubborn, and he never promised that he would hate her. Rias went to him and wrapped him around her arms. "What if I want one? A harem of you?"

Naruto went red. "That's the dirtiest thing I've ever heard,"

"Nobody else will be here," she whispered. "It's our first night in our new home,"

"I think you'll have to make do with one of me,"

"I can do that. I guess we have to make sacrifices,"

"Are they though?"

A/N: uh, so, yeah. I'll probably go back and edit the earlier chapters. Since I never touched them.
