-1Hey everyone! Perhaps it's weird but I've always wanted to write something about this pairing and finally I had a (small) bit of inspiration. It's not great, but nevertheless I hope you'll like it!

Age struggles.

Ever since it had 'leaked out' that Sora was actually a 4th year student his online life too had become much harder. Somehow the whole 'Sign' gang had gotten to know how 'young' he actually was. The worst of it all was, Mimiru, the tan and wild Heavy Blade wouldn't stop commenting it. How often did he find himself biting his lip in frustration? And the worst thing was, he just couldn't dislike her. Actually it was the other way around. He had always liked her rough attitude and the kind of un-lady like way she was easily brought off balance, was just plain cute. Okay, he couldn't deny it anymore, he liked her, he really did. The only thing was, she found he was too young for her. Okay, he was, six years ago, but he too was growing in real life. The gap in ages would never change, but they would, and then he'd tell her once more how he felt.

Four more years later. (I know it's impossible G.U. would start ^^")

"Damn Sora! How long are you going to keep bugging me?!"

"Haha, as long as I want!"

Mimiru held back her rage. It was a fact that he had become more direct, but hell, he was still enormously annoying! He smirked, she somehow, and God he was glad for that, didn't seem to grow up. He, clever as he was, took that fact and turned it into his advantage.

"Now who's the child between us?" he questioned while keeping her eyes fixed on his, something he had to practice on achieving. She lowered her sword and sighed.

"Are you still going on about that?" she asked and to his surprise, looked aside, seemingly a bit down. He grasped his controller tightly.

"Of course."

"Why?"

"Because I like you."

"Why?"

He sighed. "Because of who you are."

She looked at him with a look that made him forget it was a game character. It was one of 'The World's' fortes, but man, sometimes it was just creeping him out.

She walked over to him and somehow he felt the change in the air.

"Then…do you want to meet up in real life?"

He arched an eyebrow. "Is this a trick?" He didn't want to appear somewhere just to stand there for the rest of the day without someone ever showing up.

She shook her head, knowing well enough why he'd think that way.

He smiled weakly and nodded. "Yeah, let's meet up."

The End?

I know it's extremely short! Please Read and Review! ^^

Ja mata!
