The great sword of the Black Swordsman:
Asuna sat on the wall, her legs swinging impatiently as she watched the awesome sunset slowly bathe the world in hues of red and yellow. She was waiting for Kirito, he had mentioned an item drop and he had something that she could do something with. She hoped it wasn't anything dirty, yet her mind couldn't help but wonder, it had been so long since she had been intimate with someone. Not that she'd even done everything, she was very inexperienced when it came to boys. But she missed just the sweet closeness of having a hand to hold or to be held and feel someone's hot body next to hers. At the same time since she had been trapped in the gilded cage that was Sword Art Online and been exposed to extreme dangers, she had been increasingly feeling a need for something more. Comfort, but at the same time danger and the chance to live and experience something new, and soon before she met her likely demise to a boss or slightly less trustworthy player. Kirito appeared up ahead, she made up her mind, and she would do it. She was sick of living half a life, she wanted more and Kirito was just the boy to provide it.
"Hey, Kirito!" Asuna called, waving her arms enthusiastically, "get over here!" He walked up to her slowly and smiled as he met her eyes, his were so dark. They were like deep pools, she could feel his pain and the burden of trying to beat the game and just survive. He needed this too. She could sense a desire in him that differed from mere survival, a lust to live!
"Hey" he replied, "what's up, bet your wondering why I called you here today", he laughed.
She smirked and said "well, I did guess you just wanted to see me, but if you had an ulterior motive…" She pouted and looked sad, he laughed again and placed one hand on her shoulder.
"What if I told you that I had found a rabbit, but not just any rabbit. A Ragout Rabbit!" his face lit up and Asuna could feel her jaw drop. Not only would she be gaining a notch in her belt today, but she would be making a stew out of the best food in the game.
"My god, an A class food! I could make something amazing, but you sure you don't want to trade it?" she enquired, making sure he was on the same page as her.
He smiled sadly yet hopefully at her, "I'm sick of being here and game stuff, I just want to have good company and decent food. Make real memories and pretend that we may not die tomorrow!" he pulled her into a hug, she could feel his chest heaving beneath his armour. He somehow smelt delicious, she just wanted to eat him and the rabbit up and cherish this moment forever. They broke the hug.
"You're on", she exclaimed. "come on, let's make a mean stew, I think I've even got something to make the night even more special at mine!" she smiled cheekily, winked at him, and pulled him down the road to hers. Tonight he and the rabbit were hers.
