(Y/N) - Kurumu-
(Kurumu) - Ever since I met you, ever since you put yourself in Moka's line of fire for me, even after I tried to kill you! Ever since then, I've never been happier! Every minute I can spend with you is the best minute of my life!
My voice catches in my throat. I don't know what to say. She grabs me by the shoulders.
(Kurumu) - I really, really didn't want to use this again, but please!
She looks me in the eyes, and lets off a pulse.
She's trying to charm me.
(Kurumu) - Please. Please, just tell me why you're suffering! I'm your friend, aren't I? You know you can trust me. So please...
I... I...
(Kurumu) - Please, just tell me why you believe you're a burden to us. To me.
...I've had enough. I've been trying to outrun my past, and the problems it made for me for too long.
Maybe it'll help to talk about it.
I give in, and let her charm take over. She's asked me to be honest.
I begin to sob uncontrollably as I crumple to the ground on my knees. She sits down, and pulls me close. I can feel her worry. She really does care.
I've finally hit my breaking point.
I've been keeping all of this bottled up for so long.
It feels good to finally let it all out.
I told her everything. From how I still believed that Master Kestis's death was my fault, to how I was scared that a living figure from my past would come to kill her and the others. She pulls me even closer, and I bury my head into the crook of her neck, and let it all out.
I finally feel... stable again. Deep down, I know that this wouldn't have happened if any of the others talked to me. I don't know how I would've reacted, but how I feel right now is... what I need.
I lift my head, and look Kurumu in the eyes.
The charm has faded, and she's not trying to do it again.
I know what I'm about to say next. And I know it's actually coming from me.
(Y/N) - Kurumu?
(Kurumu) - Yes?
(Y/N) - I love you.
Her eyes widen, and before I can say anything else, she kisses me in the one manner any normal boy my age wants to be kissed: Deep, Passionate, French.
Wait, what is she-?
Oh. Oh, wow.
That-that is one long tongue.
I can feel her tongue wrap around my own, and explore every nook and cranny of my mouth, without going down my throat. She lets go for a moment to allow us both to breathe.
(Y/N) - *kinda breathless*So, um... d-do all succubi have tongues as long as yours, or is this a unique thing?
(Kurumu) - *Also kinda breathless* Yeah. How are you feeling?
(Y/N) - ...Better than I have in years. Should we separate now, before one of the others finds us?
(Kurumu) - Yeah... I don't want to, though.
(Y/N) - Neither do I, but it is a necessary evil.
(Kurumu) - Okay.
We got off the roof, and started making our way back to our respective dorms. She stops for a moment. I turn to look at her to make sure everything was okay.
(Y/N) - Everything alright?
(Kurumu) - Yeah, um... I have a question.
(Y/N) - Shoot.
(Kurumu) - Does this mean... we're dating?
...
...
...Interesting.
(Y/N) - Do you want us to be dating?
(Kurumu) - Yes. Very much.
(Y/N) - Then yeah, we're dating.
She stares at me for a moment, before letting out a squeal of delight, kissing me again, and skipping off to her dorm.
The others had asked about me in the group chat we had set up a few months back, and we had all responded. I'm alright. I'm okay.
But... the best parts of today would have to be the fact that I prevented my vision from coming true...
And the fact that I can finally forgive myself after so long.
I lie down on my bed, wondering what tomorrow would bring.

3161 words. I have only one thing to say for those who may ask about why I deviated from the original plotline.
Yes, I'm trying to keep it as close to the anime as possible, while retaining my own twists. This was one of them.
I actually kinda liked the anime. I believed it could have been better, but other than that, I liked it.
I only had a problem with the episode that this chapter was based off of was what the bat did; control the girls and make them embarrass themselves against their will.
That's why I added the vision, and the plan to expose Ko. Because I couldn't stand watching the original. I wouldn't have been able to stand writing and reading something similar.
I'm just saying this to avoid the questions involving the slightly shifted plot.
As for the whole romance thing, that officially starts now. I hope that's okay with you all. I don't mind if you think another girl deserved the romance, but here's my reasoning:
Moka: Spends too much time aiming for the throat.
Kokoa: Potentially abusive partner, and bitey like her sister.
Yukari: ...Too young. Way too young. 'FBI OPEN UP' meme too young.
Ruby: Hard masochist. I'm not making the reader an abusive significant other.
Mizore: ...She'd frost us over before long. It's only a matter of time.
The Mothers: Very, VERY awkward.
Either way, that's my reasoning. I'll respect your opinion so long as you respect mine.(Kurumu = Best Girl.)
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and have a wonderful (time of day)!
Adagium Subjugate, OUT!
