It has been 4 months since the falling of SAO, and there was already another VRMMORPG game coming out. Alfheim Online was the name and Silica and I was trying to get it. Still being haunted by the deaths of all the people in SAO, I have been having a hard time sleeping. I would have dreams of Silica dying and it was all my fault. I was the reason she died. We waited in a line that seem it could connect to another line and another game store.
"You aren't sleeping well." Silica said noticing me yawning way too much
"Having nightmares about SAO. You dying and it was all my fault." I said through yawns
"Well, I am here aren't I?" she said cuddling up to my arm, "Safe and sound."
I nodded and walked up as we drew closer to getting ALO. We were at the front of the line, when a fight broke out near us. I shoved Silica in the store as I ran in taking our chance to get ALO. We ran towards the back to grab it and went up to the front.
"Would you like to buy the headset used for this game?" the clerk asked us
"No, we got our NerveGears." I responded with a smile
Silica and I ran out the store as the clerk looked at us in awe. The police were handling the fight and I saw that it was a teen fighting a man. Silica and I ran the way we got to house the last time we visited that store. But, this time no-one tried stealing from us. We got to our houses and separated.
"Want to get on now or later?" Silica asked me
"You can get on now, I rather get on later." I said feeling my stomach grumble, "I am quite hungry."
"You are boyfriend that will eat anything." Silica said smiling
I smiled back as we entered our houses.
