A Gutsy Sekiryuutei Short: Nosebleed Troubles

Sitting at a round table with the female members of the Occult Research Club, Rias raised her hands in a reminiscent fashion to Gendo Ikari from Evangelion, she said, "Thank you all for gathering here today. I've called you all to discuss an important that I started to notice."

"And what would that be, Buchou?" Akeno asked.

"Is it the Khaos Brigade?" Xenovia suggested.

"No." Rias shook her head.

"A pack of stray devils attacking innocent civilians?" Asia worriedly asked.

"No." Rias shook her head once again.

"Has a rogue God gone off the deep end and is trying to destroy the world?" Raynare gasped.

"No, much worse…" Everyone leaned in, expecting the worse.

"Ever since we started dating, I haven't once gotten a nosebleed out of Michael!" Rias seriously, exclaimed.

"O-Oh…" Everyone was underwhelmed by that reveal and looked disinterested.

"…Is that all?" Koneko asked.

"J-Just hear me out, everyone, this has been apparent ever since the day I first met him. Not once has he reacted that way to me when he woke up next to my naked body. And that's not all, he doesn't nosebleed when we shower together, when I wear my swimsuit, or even that time I decided to use that Virgin-killer sweater. The only response I get is the usual compliment and that's it." Rias worriedly whimpered.

"I think you're overreacting, and that's coming from ME of all people, Rias-san." Raynare patted Rias' shoulder.

"At this point its quite natural to expect no response like that from Michael." Xenovia shrugged.

"…Senpai's certainly an idiot, but he's no lecher that's for sure." Koneko nodded.

"Yes, Michael-san is a really nice guy, so it would be strange to see him doing something like that in the first place." Asia sincerely smiled.

"You say nice, I say dense but their all the same either way…" Raynare sighed.

"Look, I get where you guys are coming from, and this wouldn't be an issue if I weren't trying to make him to do it, but at this point its become too much of issue for me to just back down. I just can't accept that I can't make him nosebleed when I'm serious, it would hurt my pride if I back down now."

"Ufufu, it looks like Number One is starting to lose her edge." Akeno giggled.

"You say that, but have you gotten successful with your attempts, Akeno?" Rias glared.

"Why yes, you could say that I did manage to get a nosebleed out of him." Akeno mischievously smiled.

Slamming her hands on the table, Rias demanded, "How?"

"Simple, I made a variety of chocolates for him and as he scarfed them down, he managed to get a nosebleed." Akeno revealed.

"…"

"Eh, but Akeno-san, wouldn't that be the chocolate's doing though?" Asia asked.

"Since I made them, it would technically mean I made him nosebleed, Asia-chan, and besides, I wasn't appealing to him sexually to get him to nosebleed. I decided to appeal to his heart through his stomach." Akeno giggled.

"Aha, that's just a way of telling yourself that you couldn't get him to nosebleed with your sexual appeal!" Rias accused.

"In the end, does that truly matter. I quite enjoy the fact that Michael-kun isn't nosebleeding over me sexually. His usual flustered compliments are good enough for me unlike a certain Selfish Crimson Princess I know." Akeno teased.

"True, but at least, I'm actively shooting to pleasurably appeal to Michael without any half-baked schemes of making him nosebleed." Rias retorted, and soon enough the two women were locked into a terrifying stare down that left everyone else in the room speechless. Things would have escalated to an all out brawl had the doors to the club room not open.

"Ah, sorry for interrupting your…meeting?" Kiba entered the room with a hunched down Michael gripping his face.

"Yuuto and Michael? What happened?" Rias and Akeno looked over to the pair of men as Kiba walked towards Rias handing her an opened envelope.

"A letter from the underworld came to you in the mail, Buchou. Its from Sirzechs-sama and his family, who sent a picture and a postcard from their vacation in Hawaii." Kiba said.

"Its open?" Rias questioned as she pulled out the picture.

"Michael-kun was curious and wanted to see what was inside despite my attempts at stopping him. Sorry if he got it a little messy." Kiba apologized before turning back to Michael, "A-Are you okay, Michael-kun?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine don't worry about me…Ahem! Now if you'll excuse me…" Michael crept back.

"Hold on a minute… Michael is this blood on this picture?"

Rias and Akeno turned back as they creepily stared at Michael with intimidating, glaring eyes. The picture they were holding had the image of Sirzechs and Millicas on the beach with Grayfia, who wore a breathtaking swimsuit. That alone wouldn't tip them off, but the fact that Grayfia side of the picture was covered in blood led to them to think of one thing.

"Michael?"

"Michael-kun?"

The two imperiously stood over a trembling Michael while showcasing the picture,

"Did you happen to get excited over a picture of Grayfia?"

"I, er…the thing about that is…" Michael gulped remembering the last time Rias caught wind of his slight crush on Grayfia.

"We're waiting…" The two were already cloaked in their aura as they directed their killing intent at him.

"Uh…" Michael whimpered.

"RUN, MICHAEL-SAMA! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" Raynare would have been with Rias and Akeno but seeing Michael in such a state made her pity him.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Michael ran of screaming.

"GET BACK HERE!"

"DON'T RUN AWAY! COME BACK INTO YOUR SENIOR'S LOVING EMBRACE~!"

And just like that, no one ever mentioned the strange anomaly that was Michael's lack of nosebleeds ever again.
