Hey guys! So this is my very first fanfiction on here and I'm really glad to be doing this.

I was going to do Loveless but the ones I saw for SAO weren't really my style so I decided to write this. Please note odd paragraphs are from Kirito's perspective and the even ones from Asuna's unless I say so.

Thanks and enjoy

Chapter One

November 6th 2022

The day the game of death started.

I always put on the strong game face that showed off but, completing floor upon floor, my inner self was screaming.

Hide!

Stop it!

Your going to end up dead.

On the inside dead. But that was on the inside.

Asuna, I whispered to myself as I turned to face her cute face. You're the one who opened up my world.

I got up as I could feel sweat pouring down my forehead. I wondered how I got to this level, how I've lived this long.

"Kirito, you don't look so good," Asuna rubbed her eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm okay," I really wasn't inside. "Asuna, can I tell you something?"

"If we're married you can tell me anything," she sat up abruptly. It looked as if she knew what I was going to say.

"Asuna, I need you. In the Virtual World, in real world." I choked back tears, I didn't want to seem weak.

"Kirito, what do you mean you need me? I'm always the-"

I stopped in her words as I walked to her and hugged her tight.

"Save me. I'm falling." At this point, I couldn't hold back tears. I let it all out. On Asuna's shoulder.

"If you're falling, I'm falling. If you're dying, I'm dying. We do everything together, leaving me is like leaving you," her soft words always made me seem small yet strong. I didn't want to speak. She got a hint that I didn't want to speak either.

"You know, there was a song my grandmother used to sing when I couldn't sleep. I can sing it but not as good as my grandmother." As she sang, it was like the whole world had stopped and it was only us. Like the stars and universe were dancing for just us.

Asuna, save me.
