Three days after the fight with Loki, Alex woke to find the usual video message from Kuroka, and surprisingly a message from Lauren saying she wasn't available that day. She wished him a happy birthday, and that he should try to stay out of trouble that day while she wasn't here. Kuroka's was the usual newly shot video of her pleasuring herself, most likely so that he didn't "forget" her. She sent him one every morning.
When Alex thought about how it was his birthday, he wasn't too excited but was looking forward to the next two years going by, so that he could travel to new worlds. There wasn't anyone in his bed that morning, so Alex was alone when he showered and dressed for the day. He made his way downstairs to find the girls waiting with Kiba, Gasper, and the Sitri peerage, and they all shouted,
"SURPRISE!" At him with poppers and streamers everywhere. Alex smiled and started laughing, even if he didn't care about his birthday, it didn't mean he didn't like everyone planning a party for him. Each of the girls, besides Irina and Rosswiesse, gave him a kiss and they all started greeting him. The Sitri peerage tried to do something similar, but Sona kept them from doing so, leading them to tease Sona about taking him for herself.
"How about it, do I get a birthday kiss?" He joined in teasing her. The student council president's usually cool face started turning red, and she reached out to shake his hand. Alex played along, but when he gripped her hand he quickly dragged her in closer and stole her lips for the first time. When they realized what happened, most of the girls started cat calling the two of them.
Sona's eyes widened as she had her first kiss, and she tried to break free from him for the first second, before melting into the kiss. Alex grabbed her waist and pulled her even closer, to the point that their bodies were leaning against each other. It was only a couple seconds, but Sona seemed to remember their surroundings, and started to panic. Her face turned even more red when she saw how close the two of them were.
"DONT DO THAT! I don't want to betray Rias!" Sona practically screamed, as she backed away from him. Alex could tell she enjoyed the kiss, but she felt as if she was betraying her friend by accepting him. Rias smiled and stepped towards Sona, who expected her to be mad.
"It's ok Sona, believe it or not I actually think you two look good together. I already know I'm not enough for Alex, but I would prefer someone I already approve of over some random girls." Sona didn't know what to say to Rias's words, but when she said she "wasn't enough" Sona recalled the tales her peerage were spreading about him. She looked at the surrounding girls, and was surprised to see Xenovia, Asia, and Akeno specifically all nodding. Rias then also mentioned,
"There's a fifth girl, but she's not here right now. All of us have "suffered" at his hands and accept that there'll be more." Sona was dumbfounded, her own friend was scouting her to be fellow lovers with her boyfriend. She was spared from answering however, when the front door opened, and Azazel walked in.
"Happy birthday Alex! I brought you something." He then held out a box with a bow on it. Alex opened it and saw a pair of what looked like sunglasses. He looked at Azazel, since he already had what he needed for the full moon.
"Those aren't just for the full moon, they have all kinds of other functions built into them. Try them on and I'll walk you through them." Alex put the glasses on, and Azazel explained that he needed to twist the temple part. When he did so, his vision changed to heat vision. Alex was surprised, and Azazel kept explaining,
"They have heat vision, inferred, and a few other functions. Try twisting them all the way." Alex did so, and while,looks at the girls saw their clothes disappear. His brow twitched as he realized Azazel gave him X-ray glasses. Then he was called out to,
"So what do you see?" Rosswiesse asked, drawing Alex's attention. He didn't have a habit of peeping, but that didn't mean he didn't appreciate what he saw. He didn't try to hide it, as he told her,
"I see the nice little patch you have down there, the carpets do match the drapes." She was confused for a second, before turning beat red and tried slapping him. Alex caught her hand and said,
"I didn't do it on purpose, if you want to blame someone blame Azazel." Rosswiesse widened her eyes, and turned to Azazel with a variety of elemental magic attacks forming. He suddenly started sweating, and said,
"Wait, the furniture was just replaced right? You don't wan-" At that moment Rosswiesse unleashed the several spells she prepared at him, destroying several pieces of furniture as well. It only took a second for her to realize that she would have to replace what she destroyed though, and she immediately regretted her actions, until,
"Don't worry Azazel, I'll make sure you get the proper bill." Rias said with a fake smile on her face. She wasn't going to hold Rosswiesse responsible, as the rest of the girls felt the same way. They all shuddered at the thought of someone besides Alex wearing the glasses.
"How despicable." Sona said, drawing Alex's gaze while he forgot he still had the X-ray function still on. He accidentally looked for a second, before switching the X-ray function off. The movement wasn't missed by the Sitri peerage, and Sona turned just as red as Rosswiesse a second ago, while the rest of the girls seemed to be trying appeal to him. Before anyone said anything though,
"So Alex, why do you try to avoid moonlight?" Azazel asked suddenly. Alex thought for a second, before deciding he used his super Saiyan several times in front of others already, so there wasn't much harm in explaining this as well.
"I turn into a monster, and go berserk." Everyone just stared at him, obviously not believing him. He shrugged and said,
"It's true, if I see moonlight then I'll turn into a ten story tall monster and start destroying everything and everyone around me. I literally spent my whole life avoiding moonlight because of this."
"Bullshit." Was all Azazel said. Alex thought for a moment, it was a week until the second years went on their trip to Kyoto. He was planning to go a couple days ahead of them and prevent Asaka's kidnapping, so he had five days before his next big action.
"If you don't believe me, then I might be able to prove it. There should be a way for me to replicate moonlight, so if you take the necessary precautions, and keep it a secret then I'll prove it in two days." Before anyone said anything, a voice said,
"Ok that's sounds great. I was planning to have you and Rias do something soon anyways so we'll do both at the same time." Sirzechs and Grayfia appeared out of nowhere. Alex's brow twitched, but if the event Sirzechs was planning was the same as he thought, then he'll at least have the four Maou present while going berserk. It was as good of a fail safe as he could get, as long as they didn't kill him.
After making the plans the party continued, which is why Sirzechs and Grayfia appeared in the first place. Several hours later everyone went home, and the private party with the girls began. It ended on a nice note, with Alex dragging all four of them upstairs for some fun. All in all, it was a decent birthday.
Meanwhile Lauren was...
