Hey, readers. Guess what?

I'm making His Angel into the first entry in a series of single-pairing romance stories, the next of which is His Valkyrie.

Please, please. Hold your applause. Also, someone stop those crickets, they're annoying.

All jokes aside, I've wanted to do this for a while. Rossweisse is one of the best girls in DxD (in my opinion) and I think she deserves her own romance story. What you might be thinking next, is this:

"Belial, will (insert your favorite character) get a romance story?" Well, they just might. I plan on doing a few more of these at the least, and I'm open to most suggestions. There's only three characters I wouldn't do a story for: Rias, Koneko, and Asia. I do not like any of those three characters. No negotiations there, I can't stand the three of them.

Also, I feel I should mention this bit: Issei is majorly OOC, and Rossweisse is a tad OOC. This is also a pretty big AU. If that ruins Issei x Rossweisse for you, well, then I'm sorry. Don't read any further, if that's the case. But, for those of you that are eager to get started, don't let me stop you.

Read and review.

Issei watched excitedly through the window as the plane descended. He laughed when the landing gear struck the runway, making him bounce rapidly. Issei's mother and father watched him eagerly, happy their child was enjoying the trip so far.

"Are we there?" Issei turned and asked his mother excitedly, practically shaking in his seat.

"We sure are. Welcome to Norway, Issei." Issei's mother said, smiling brightly at him from her spot in the aisle seat.

"Happy eight birthday, son." Issei's father said, tussling his son's thick brown hair.

"Thanks, dad!" Issei said, giving a toothy smile.

Passengers on the plane began to pack up their things and move to the exit as the pilot came on the intercom, assuring everyone it was safe to leave. He spoke in Japanese, first, since most of the passengers were from Tokyo; then in English, and finally in Norwegian. The passengers began to slowly shuffle off the plane.

"Okay, Issei. Stay close to us in the airport, and don't run off. We're just gonna grab our bags, and then we'll find our ride. Sound good?" Issei's dad asked. Issei nodded vigorously. His mother and father chuckled, then stood and moved into the aisle. Issei's mother shepherded him down the aisle while his father grabbed their carry-ons, and they all left the plane.

They walked down the jet bridge into the airport, Issei holding his mother's hand all the way. His father walked close behind. They moved into the airport's customs section, and his mother and father took care of everything while Issei waited, giddy.

Issei's mom gestured for him to follow them. He ran to his parents, taking his mother's hand and smiling brightly. Issei's mother smiled down at him, happy he was happy. It was his first time out of the country, and she was more than eager to give her son a memorable time.

They walked through the airport, and found the baggage carousel. "Okay, Issei. Wait on the bench right there while your dad and I grab all our bags. Don't run off, okay?" Issei's mom said, pointing to a bench near the carousel where Issei could wait.

"Okay!" Issei said, and jumped up on the bench. His mother moved to join her husband at the carousel, taking her attention off Issei. He'd never ignored her before, and she trusted him to stay put. Unfortunately, fate had other plans.

"First time in Norway, kid?" A deep and gravelly voice said, startling Issei. He looked to his left, and sitting on the bench with him was an old man, dressed in a gray robe. The man had a massive grey beard, reaching all the way to his knees. He was facing forward, and Issei couldn't see his whole face, because of their height difference. The old man was grinning.

"Yeah!" Issei said excitedly. He'd gotten the 'don't talk to strangers' warning, but something in Issei knew he could trust the old man.

The old man chuckled. "It's a gorgeous country, this one. Say, know what else is gorgeous?" The man said, smiling.

Issei shook his head.

The old man laughed again, and turned his head to Issei. He only had one eye, and the other was covered by a patch. "That girl right over there." The man said, and pointed to somewhere behind Issei.

Issei looked, and true to the old man's word, the prettiest girl he'd ever seen was right across the airport. Issei gaped. She had bright silver hair, fair skin, and shining blue eyes. From what he could see, she was beautiful. Issei looked back to the old man, who was stroking his beard.

He turned to issei and started, like he didn't realize the boy was still there. "Well, what are you waiting for? Go talk to her!" The man said, and gave Issei a small push.

Issei smiled nervously, and hopped off the bench. He walked over to the girl, ignoring all the people around him. About halfway there, he turned back to wave at the one-eyed old man, but he was gone, vanished without a trace. Issei blinked a few times, but dismissed him quickly and turned back to the girl. He had more pressing concerns.

Issei crossed the floor and walked up to the girl, who was looking around timidly. He walked right up to her, till he was well within her personal space. The girl didn't notice. She was frantically searching for something, or someone.

"Hi! Whatcha doin?" Issei said, startling the girl. She was an inch or two taller than him, but they were around the same height. Issei tilted his head, waiting for a response.

"U-um, I'm looking for someone." The girl replied in Japanese. Issei hadn't expected that, but he'd been to focused on talking to the girl to realize she probably didn't speak the same language as him. Now that he knew they could talk, he was happy.

"Need any help?" Issei asked.

"S-sure. She's tall, and has gray hair, like mine but darker, and she's really old. It's my grandma. Her name is Gondul." The little girl said. She didn't know who the boy was, but she'd been getting nervous and was grateful for the company.

"Okay! I'll help you find her. My name is Issei, what's yours?" Issei asked. They started walking together, off in the opposite direction of his parents. Issei'd completely forgotten they were there, he was so engrossed in meeting the pretty girl. Little did he know, his mother was watching him walk off with the little girl, a smile on her face.

"I-I'm Rossweisse. Nice to meet you, Issei." The boy was very forward, and it made her a little nervous. He was cute, though.

"That's a really pretty name! It fits, cus you're pretty too!" Issei said, smiling bright. He was missing a couple teeth, and his toothy grin was adorable. As for his words, Rossweisse didn't really know how to respond. She'd only been called pretty by family members before. Her heart fluttered and she started to blush furiously.

"You t-think I'm p-pretty? R-Really?" Rossweisse stammered, not expecting the sudden compliments.

"Mhmm!" Issei exclaimed.

"Well...thank you." Rossweisse said, calming down. She could tell he was being sincere. Event though she'd only just met the boy, she felt herself being drawn to him.

"Sure thing! Hey, is that your grandma?" Issei said, pointing.

Rossweisse looked up, following his finger. He was right. Gondul stood on the opposite side of the airport from them, looking through a bookstore. Rossweisse sighed in relief, and started toward her grandmother. Issei followed her.

Gondul noticed her granddaughter approaching, and looked at her with a stern face. "I warned you not to wander off, didn't I?" She said.

"Sorry, grandmother…" Rossweisse said, looking at the ground.

"And who's this, then?" Gondul asked, looking at Issei.

"I'm Issei Hyoudou! Your granddaughter is really nice." Issei said, waving excitedly at the woman. She stood several feet taller than him, and he had to look up to see her. Gondul spoke to Rossweisse in a language he couldn't understand, but talked to him in perfect Japanese. How she knew knew what language he spoke, Issei didn't know, but he really didn't stop to think about it.

"That she is. Would you by chance be the son of Gorou and Anna Hyoudou?" Gondul asked, crouching to look at him closely.

Issei nodded. How did she know his parents?

Gondul chuckled. The action seemed to shock Rossweisse, who looked at her grandmother in surprise. "Then I am expecting you. It's good to meet you, grandson." Gondul said, shocking both Issei and Rossweisse.

"Grandmother! Do you mean…? Is he the one we're here for?" Rossweisse asked, looking between them with a smile on her face.

"That he is. His parents must be around here somewhere, I'd guess. The Hyoudou men have always been distracted by pretty women. I'd guess he didn't even notice he wandered off, he was so entangled in your charm." Gondul said, looking around for Issei's parents.

Rossweisse blushed at the praise, when Issei's face fell. He suddenly felt very guilty. He'd ignored his mother, and wandered off just like he wasn't supposed to.

"Ah. Here we are. Hello, daughter. Hello, Gorou." Gondul said, waving to someone. Issei followed her gaze, and there were his parents. He ran to his mother, throwing his arms around her legs.

"I'm sorry mom! I didn't mean to!" Issei said, on the verge of tears. His mother laughed, and crouched down to hug him.

"It's alright, sweetie. You met your grandmother and a beautiful girl, so it all worked out, hm?" Issei's mother said, smiling happily and tussling his hair.

Issei looked up at her, not understanding. "Grandmother…?"

"Does that mean we're cousins?" Rossweisse asked Gondul.

"Not quite. While I do consider his mother my own daughter, we aren't related by blood. It would be perfectly acceptable for you to date Issei." Gondul said. Lucky for Rossweisse, she was speaking in Norwegian, and Issei didn't understand her. Otherwise, the thick blush that appeared on her face would only have been worse.

"That's right, Issei. Gondul here is my adoptive mother, making her your grandmother, and little Rossweisse your cousin. Though, she's not related to you by blood, so you could get married if you wanted to~." Issei's mother cooed, grinning. Issei smiled brightly.

"That sounds great! She's really pretty!" Issei said, smiling at Rossweisse. She gaped at him. Did he have no shame? They only just met, and he was talking about marriage?

Gorou chuckled. "Well, Issei. I hope you like Rossweisse, because you'll be staying with her during our visit." Issei's father said. Issei's eyes went wide, and he could hardly contain his excitement.

"Well, let's not stand around, then. The car is out front." Gondul said, walking off. They all followed her.

One hour later

Gondul's car pulled in front of a large house, a mansion, really. Issei gasped at the size of it; the house was far larger than any he'd ever seen. Rossweisse giggled at his reaction. She was growing ever more attached to this cute boy that had suddenly dropped into her life.

Issei exited the car, followed by Rossweisse. He looked around excitedly, taking in the gorgeous scenery of the Norwegian countryside the mansion was seated in. Mountains stood like watchmen in the distance, hills of green rolled for miles, and lakes dotted the landscape. The air was crisp, and clean. The sky was a beautiful blue, and the combination of it all took Issei's breath away.

"Isn't it great?" Rossweisse asked.

"It's...amazing…" Issei breathed out.

Rossweisse giggled. "I'm glad you like it."

"Don't just stand there, you lovebirds. Come inside the house!" Gondul yelled, while Gorou and Anna pulled bags from the car.

"L-L-Lovebirds?!" Rossweisse squeaked. Issei laughed. He was fine with the nickname.

They moved into the massive house, Issei and Rossweisse walking side-by-side and following Gondul. Issei's parents followed behind, carrying their luggage.

"You live here?" Issei asked, amazed. The inside of the house was as impressive as the outside. It had ornate white walls, dark wood floors, and dark colored furniture. It was all very beautiful.

"Mhmm. Grandma's really rich." Rossweisse said, nodding.

"That's so cool!" Issei exclaimed. His parents never told him he had a rich Norwegian grandmother. They must've wanted to surprise him.

"This is where you'll be sleeping, grandson." Gondul stopped, and gestured to a doorway.

"That's my room, Grandmother!" Rossweisse said. She didn't want Issei to see her room, she'd be embarrassed!

"I know. That's why he's sleeping there. Who better to stay with for a little boy than a cute little girl?" Gondul said, grinning.

Issei didn't understand what they were saying, but he understood when Gondul said that this was his room. He opened the door, not waiting for them to say anything else. Rossweisse squealed.

The sight that met him wasn't what he was expecting. It was a girl's room, that much was obvious from the pink color of the floor and the pictures of pegasi that dotted the walls. Issei stood there awkwardly, not really understanding what he was supposed to do.

"This is Rossweisse's room. You'll be shacking up with her for the time being. Keep it tidy, granddaughter. You two get settled, I'm going to go prepare our meal." Gondul said. She walked down the hallway, leaving the two children by themselves.

"So...you like horses?" Issei asked.

Rossweisse groaned. She was very embarrassed. Issei walked around unashamedly, thoroughly inspecting the room. While she was weirded out by the fact that a boy would be sleeping in her bedroom, she also found herself wanting him to like it. She watched him nervously, hoping he wouldn't be sad to share a room with her.

"You've got a lot of books. I like books too." Issei said. Rossweisse had several bookshelves with thick novels and textbooks filing the rows.

"Uh, yeah...I like to read. I like learning a lot too, so grandma gets me books with a bunch of different subjects." Rossweisse said.

"That's really cool. So, how'd you learn to speak two languages?" Issei asked, his attention suddenly back on her.

Rossweisse was startled. She didn't expect him to switch topics so fast, or to suddenly be right in her face again. She didn't mind, she just wasn't expecting it.

"Grandma taught me. She said I had family that lived in Japan, so I should learn Japanese. That way, I could talk to them when we met. I speak English, too!" Rossweisse said excitedly. She loved to talk about learning, and she liking bragging about things she learned even more.

"Wow! You're really smart, Rossweisse!" Issei said, taking her hands. She blushed at the sudden contact, but didn't pull away. Her grandmother's words about dating earlier flashed through her mind, and her heart started to pound in her chest.

"T-thanks, Issei…" Rossweisse said, stammering and blushing. In a flash, he'd let go of her hands and was back at her bookshelf, trying to find something in Japanese. She briefly missed the warmth of his hands, but pushed the thought to the back of her mind. She took deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down. This was going to be a long visit, if he kept making her feel like that.

One week later

Issei and Rossweisse trekked through some woods near the mansion, Issei excitedly walking forward and Rossweisse plodding along behind him, afraid. She'd never been in the forest after dark, but Issei had insisted. They'd grown close in the week Issei had stayed with her, and she had something of a crush on him. So, she'd followed him into the thick woods as per his request. She could hardly resist her cute little cousin, after all.

"Isn't this awesome? It's so dark, and you can hear all the animals and stuff…" Issei said, looking around in awe. Rossweisse gulped.

"Y-y-yeah, it's g-great…" She stammered, afraid. Issei turned around without warning, causing her to bump into him. He caught her by the arms, startling her.

"Are you scared, Rossweisse?" Issei asked. She nodded, looking away. He giggled. "Just hold onto me, then. I'll protect you!" Issei exclaimed, flexing his tiny muscles. Despite the situation, Rossweisse laughed. Issei held out his hand, and she took it, suddenly feeling much better. They continued through the woods, walking all around.

They both stopped in their tracks as a howl pierced the air, scaring them both. The sound was nearby, and it wasn't alone. Moments after, several howls went up, followed by frenzied barking. Rossweisse screamed, and Issei took off towards the mansion, holding Rossweisse's hand and pulling her with him.

They ran for a good hundred meters before they found themselves surrounded by wolves.

Issei stood dead still. Rossweisse shook violently, terrified. Her hand clenched Issei's tight, but neither of them made a sound.

The wolves advanced forward, the apparent Alpha leading the way. They stalked slowly towards the pair, snarling. Issei suddenly had an idea; it was something he'd seen on the nature channel of his tv, and he knew it was probably his best chance at protecting Rossweisse.

Issei snarled back, making direct eye contact with the Alpha wolf.

The Alpha's eyes flashed with recognition of the challenge, and he jumped at Issei.

The boy pushed Rossweisse away in the second before the wolf pounced him, and he found himself wrestling with a thrashing timberwolf, trying his hardest to get his hand around the wolf's neck. If he could make the Alpha submit, the whole pack would fall into line. Then, he could get Rossweisse back to safety. That was his main, no, his only priority.

Rossweisse watched, terrified, unsure what to do. The rest of the wolves eyed her warily, but none dared interfere with the Alpha's fight, or his quarrel's companion. They had a code of honor, wild beasts or not.

Issei slammed the wolf to the ground for the third time, not giving an inch. He was taking vicious bites and scratches, but he refused to let up. He'd die before he let Rossweisse get taken by wolves. The wolf raked his face with claws, so Issei gouged at the wolf's eyes with his fingers. The wolf bit him, so he crushed the wolf's snout. The wolf growled, and Issei growled back.

Issei would not give in. The thing about young boys, and even young men, is that, deep down, way inside the furthest reaches of their psyche, there was still of piece of them that remembers the ancient way of kill or be killed. Issei's survival instinct had gone into full swing. The choice was fight or flight, and Issei chose fight.

Issei had gone feral.

They snarled and scratched and bit each other, neither giving the other half a chance take an advantage. Issei was completely consumed by adrenaline, and his muscles were going into overdrive trying to keep him alive.

Finally, the wolf made a slip up. Issei was able to snake his hand's around it's throat, and took the opportunity eagerly. He wrapped his hands around the wolf's neck, and refused to let go.

Issei now had a firm grip around the wolf's throat, so it was only a matter of who gave in first. He held the wolf against the ground, not caring about the many scratches he was receiving or the amount of blood he was losing. He'd almost won.

One more slam against the ground, and Issei felt the wolf go limp in his arms. He released the dog, breathing heavily. His heart pounded, and his vision was red. The Alpha ran a few steps away, then turned back towards Issei. The boy stood straight and tall, asserting dominance. The alpha wolf rolled over onto it's back. The rest of the wolves tilted their heads down.

Issei had won. The pack recognized him as alpha. He groaned, and fell to his knees. Instantly, Rossweisse and two wolves were at his side. The boy was leaking blood from two dozen different cuts and bites, and several of them looked deep enough for stitches. Rossweisse began to panic. She didn't know what to do. One of the wolves barked.

The two wolves that came to him nudged him up to his feet. Rossweisse took the cue, and helped him stand up, putting his arm over her. Issei's eyes were closing and opening rapidly, and his breathing was unsteady.

Rossweisse began to run with Issei's arm over her shoulders, trying to get him to the house as fast as possible. The wolves followed in formation, forming a protective square around the pair.

"Issei, please stay awake! Come on, you won, you saved me, so please, please, stay with me!" Rossweisse pleaded, running as fast as she could. Twigs and branches and bushes whipped at her as she ran, but she never slowed or stopped.

Rossweisse broke through the treeline, and the mansion came into view. The wolves stopped, and slunk back into the trees, while Rossweisse dragged Issei to the house. She slammed open the door, and pulled the bleeding Issei inside.

"Grandma! Grandma, come here, please! Hurry!" Rossweisse screamed. In just a few seconds, Gondul was there. She gasped at his condition.

"Put him down! Right there. Now, go get me the first aid kit from my room. Hurry!" Gondul yelled. Rossweisse put Issei down where she'd said, right on a dining room table, and ran to get what she asked.

As soon as Rossweisse was out of the room, Gondul sighed. "I'd hoped it would be a little longer...I suppose I can't do anything about it. Well, Grandson, I need you to promise me you won't tell Rossweisse what I'm about to do. She isn't ready." Gondul said slowly. Issei, through half-lidded eyes, nodded slowly.

"Good." Gondul said. She put her hands on the deepest of Issei's wounds, and glowing stitches flew from her fingertips and pulled Issei's slashes together. He winced in pain, but she didn't stop. All the deepest of Issei's cuts and gouges and bites were closed by the glowing needle and thread. Once only superficial injuries remained, the glowing blue light faded, and only normal looking stitches were left in their places.

Issei didn't have the strength to be surprised. He'd lost too much blood, and he was barely conscious.

Rossweisse ran into the room with the first aid kit. Gondul took it from her, and set to work cleaning and dressing his smaller wounds. Rossweisse stared in wonder at how fast her grandmother had stitched him together, but didn't question it.

Anna and Gorou ran into the room, awakened by all the commotion. Anna gasped, and Gorou's eyes went wide as they saw the state their son was in. They rushed to his side.

"What happened?" Gorou asked.

"Is he okay?!" Anna asked, frantic.

Gondul nodded. "He's stable. He's lost a lot of blood, and he's definitely not going to be in any shape to move around tomorrow, but he'll be fine." She said, finishing up on the last of his cuts. "As for what happened, I have no idea." Gondul said, and looked to Rossweisse.

The girl shrunk under her grandmother's gaze. She felt nothing but guilt at Issei's condition. "This...this is my fault…" Rossweisse murmured.

"Absolutely not." Gorou said, kneeling down in front of Rossweisse. Her eyes widened at his firm tone. "If there's one thing about Hyoudou men that stays true, it's that they will always protect women, no matter the cost. I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm sure Issei would rather have died than seen you get hurt. So, don't think for a second this was your fault. He wouldn't want that." Gorou said, shaking his head.

Rossweisse had tears in her eyes. She grabbed Issei's hand. He slowly turned his head to her, and drew in a long breath. "Are...you...okay…?" Issei asked, slowly.

Rossweisse started to cry. Even in this state, he was worried about her. He'd literally wrestled with a hundred and fifty pound wolf just to save her. He didn't say it, but she knew without a shadow of doubt that he'd done it for her.

Rossweisse leaned forward, holding his hand, and planted a chaste kiss on his lips. Issei gaped, before smiling widely. His head lolled, and he lost consciousness, but his last thoughts were happy ones.

Two weeks after the incident

"Do...do you really have to go?" Rossweisse asked, tears at the edges of her eyes.

"Mhmm. Mom says so." Issei said, sadly.

"I...I'll miss you." Rossweisse said, struggling not to cry.

"I'll miss you more." Issei said, feigning a smile. She laughed, despite the situation.

"Please, stay here!" Rossweisse suddenly yelled, locking Issei in a hug. He hissed in pain, but didn't pull away.

"I'll...come back. Don't you worry." Issei said through grit teeth. He flashed her a winning smile. A tear fell down Rossweisse's eye, but she nodded. Issei turned toward Gondul's waiting car, but Rossweisse called out, stopping him.

"Issei...take this." Issei turned around to see Rossweisse holding out a necklace with a locket on it, only, the locket was a literal lock. It had a large keyhole, and she held a similar necklace with a key on it.

"What is it?" Issei asked, taking the necklace.

"It's a necklace. If you...if you ever forget about me, and we meet again, we'll unlock this, and then...and then we'll get married!" Rossweisse said with a sudden fury.

Issei smiled brightly. "I'll never forget you, Rose. But I will marry you, one day." Issei said, putting the necklace on. Rossweisse nodded, wiping her face, and put her corresponding necklace on.

Issei bent down, and reached his hand out. The large grey timberwolf, the previous alpha of Issei's pack, whom he'd named Mischief, rubbed his dark grey head on Issei's hand. After Issei recovered enough to move, he went to the forest again to make sure he was still the alpha. He was, and his pack recognized him as such. Rossweisse promised to take care of his pack, and since they recognized her as his alpha female, they wouldn't hurt her. After Issei pulled back, Mischief nuzzled Rossweisse's leg, sensing her sadness.

"Well...bye." Issei said, solemn.

Rossweisse stood still for a second, then ran forward and kissed him. They were only children, and it was her first kiss where the recipient was fully conscious, so it wasn't great, but she did her best. It was only for a second, and neither of them really knew what they were doing, but at the same time, neither regret it. To the two of them, it meant the world.

"...Bye, Issei. Don't forget me." Rossweisse said.

"Of course." Issei said. He walked to the car, not looking back. Mischief howled as the car pulled away, and from the forest, several other howls echoed. Rossweisse waved goodbye as the car drove off, and even after it was long gone, she sat there, on the ground, waiting with Mischief.

Rossweisse toyed with her key necklace. In the short time that Issei'd been there, she had completely and totally fallen for him.

Several years later

Issei yawned, and leaned back in his chair. He had his feet propped up on the empty desk in front of him, and was trying to catch some sleep when the principal of the school walked in.

"Kuoh Academy students," The small man started, "it is my pleasure to introduce to you, your newest teacher." The door to the classroom opened, and a woman walked in. Issei didn't look up, but he could tell it was a woman from the sound of her heels clicking the ground.

Issei was falling asleep. The rest of the principal's introduction was lost on the boy, as he sunk into dreamland. He vaguely heard the door open and close again. Probably the principal leaving. He drifted in and out of awareness, regaining consciousness just enough to hear the new teacher's next words.

"Okay, I'll start with a roll call." Issei heard the new teacher say. Her voice sounded vaguely familiar, but he couldn't place from where.

He heard the teacher list a bunch of students off, none of which he cared about. He perked up, listening for his name, so he could make an awesome retort to start off the teacher's new job.

"Issei Hyou-!" The teacher yelped, and the sound of a clipboard being dropped echoed throughout the room. Issei cracked an eye, wondering why she'd freaked out on his name. He saw a glimpse of silver hair. He opened both eyes. The teacher had a familiar face, and was staring at him with shock in her gorgeous blue eyes. He briefly wondered why she was looking at him so funny, and then it all clicked.

Familiar face and voice.

Blue eyes.

Silver hair.

Once he realized where he knew her from, his world came to a screeching halt.

Issei fell out of the chair he'd been leaning back in. He stood up quickly, and walked up to the new teacher slowly.

"Rose?" Issei whispered, not believing his eyes.

Issei pulled out his necklace, the lock he'd kept from all those years ago. Almost everyone classroom gasped. Everyone knew what a locket like that meant. It was like a scene straight out of a manga.

There was a moment of brief tension, and the teacher reached into her grey suit jacket. From within, she pulled out...a matching key.

Without a word between them, the teacher inserted the key into Issei's lock, and it opened. A piece of paper fell out, and Issei grabbed it. Without reading it, he put it in his pocket.

"Issei...I missed you." Rossweisse said, suddenly not caring about her new teaching job or any of the other students.

"Rossweisse...I missed you more." Issei said, grinning.

Rossweisse and Issei hugged harder than they ever had before. The class went wild.
