Chapter - 2: Love For Danger & Issei Hyoudou

I'm a firm believer of: A life without risk is not much of a life. Which sometimes I take it to the very extreme and beyond.

Most believed people like me need the excitement of danger to feel truly alive. Criminals, gamblers and members of crack military units are like that. I suppose you could call it a sort of psychological numbness, we are born or born-Into with. We people need that adrenaline rush to not feel bored.

Because to us, life is truly terribly boring, without danger sprinkled In the mix

I myself loved climbing stuff really high up where you can barely breathe. I don't know why, but It made me feel... different. Because I know, not a lot of people can do what I do. Which In my own right, made me feel unique, not special, as there's nothing truly special In the world, but just: unique.

I loved that feeling of standing at the top of the mountain, understanding only a handful of people can do what I just did, and now I'm In that handful.

Hell, due to my... life. Many businesses and sports shows wanted to create a movie or show about me, which we did(I love money). And let's just say, It was a hit around the world. Many young, old and middle-aged people loved the show. Especially the younger ones, who wanted to be the next..well, me.

Of course, I told them to think about that later and just enjoy the show. I can't have kids dying, believing they can KO an Anaconda or Russian wrestle a bear Into to submission because the bear took a bite out of their BB&J.

So yes, one could say I lived a great life, a life many have not, holding many World-Records.

...And yet, there was one thing I was not good at: Relationships. One-Night-Stands, I can do. But Relationships? Hell no. I didn't know why, but I just didn't want to be In one. Probably because I love my freedom.

So dream girl... A girl will love me and care for me while letting me keep my freedom. Picky, I know. But this Is an anime World, where anything can happen.

...Literally anything...

/*Knock!-Knock!*/

Breaking out of my thoughts was someone knocking on my door...at 11-PM.

/*Knock!-Knock!*/

" I hear ya! I hear ya!"

Getting off the chair I was sitting on, I walked downstairs, seeing a simple yet neat living room and kitchen.

/*Click!*/

Opening the door, my face became blank seeing who It is.

Yes, It's: Issei Hyoudou of DXD. He seemed to possess a troubled expression.

From what I understand, the former "Me" and Issei are childhood friends, who slowly grew apart as they got older, getting used to that hell we call: "Life". But due to Kuoh Academy, they became somewhat friends again. One could say the old "Me" was Issei's only "normal" friend.

" Ise, what can I do you for?"

"... Do you remember, Yuuma Amano?"

Ah...That's where we are In the plot. So yesterday he died... How mental.

" The black-haired beauty?" Yawning, I let out, making his eyes widen.

" Yes, that one!"

" Sure...Why? Did y'all breakup already or something?"

"...Yeah, something like that." Glancing down with sweat running down his neck, Issei looked back up and asked me, smiling hopefully.

" Yuu?"

" Hm?"

"... Can I stay the time tonight?"

" Sure, I don't mind... But, why? Don't you have a comfortable bed and porn at home?"

" Heh, I do. But, I just want to hang out with you." Scratching his neck, he smiled embarrassedly," And, I kind of already told my parents, I'll be over here..."

" Bloody hell... What did you tell your mom? Because for one, I know she wouldn't let you walk a block to my house at no 11-PM for no good reason."

" Hehe...That's where It's got funny."

" Uh-huh, how?"

"... I kind of told them, you needed help for math and science, so being the great son I am, I sacrificed myself to help you..."

"...You owe me. Big time, porn-wizard."

" Eh? Porn-Wiz... Hey!"

" Took you long enough." Chuckling lightly, I grinned.

" Alright, come In. Before those crows get us."

" Crows?" Finding this odd, Issei asked as he walked In and settled his backpack down by the black couch.

" Yeah. Some damn annoying ass Crows keep on flying around here for no damn reason."

" What did you do to them?"

" What did I do? Hell, I wish did something. They just keep drifting by here." I answered, remembering crow feathers always falling on "Me" when "I" walked out of the house.

After some more talking and hanging out playing some PS4, Issei got tired and fell asleep on the couch.

And being the "nice" person I am, I put a blanket over him and a pillow under his head.

...What? Don't like at me like that. I can be nice sometimes.

Lying to myself, I too fell asleep on my bed.
