Hey everyone, I apologize for my very long hiatus. My Crona and Grell story has got a lot of feedback, and I promise I will update as soon as possible. I promise I have been super busy, but I am back now with more writing.

I recently watched and finished Sword Art Online. This is the first anime that has made me completely sob. It has quickly progressed itself to my top anime, ever. Naturally, I ship Kazuto/Kirito and Asuna. (I am actually cosplaying Asuna for my upcoming convention).

Anyhoo, this will be a short fic of Kazuto daydreaming about Asuna. I don't own Sword Art Online, sadly. Enjoy and review, thanks!

There was something very alluring about Asuna's graceful beauty. Starting with the way her chestnut hair cascaded down her back; a slight wave to the soft locks that made him want to reach out and tangle his fingers in it. The way her bangs tickled at her forehead and framed her face in the most flattering ways; how her eyebrows wiggled and raised whenever she seemed shocked or excited about something. Or, maybe it was her khaki eyes that held a brightness that never seemed to dim. The way those very same eyes held all the utmost love in them whenever Kazuto caught her gazing at him. Her milky skin, holding almost no imperfections, felt smooth beneath his fingertips whenever he stroked it. And her pale pink lips, how they quivered when she was upset or pouted when she was irritated.

It didn't stop there, for Kazuto admired everything about her. She was tough and independent, but also loving and soft-spoken. Not much had changed when he held her in his real arms, besides the fact that she no longer adorned her holy uniform. At first encounter with the awoken Asuna, Kazuto fell head over heels all over again. The first kiss they shared felt nothing less than passionate. And with each day, he fell more and more in love.

They had never exchanged "I love you's" in SAO, but then again, it hadn't felt necessary. Enough was said through their motions; words weren't needed. But the more time they spent together in the real world, the more evident it was that "I love you's" were very important. Kazuto, just barely sixteen, had never had a girlfriend or any previous experience with any kind of relationship. He had dedicated his life to virtual games, not girls and other things teenage boys experience.

It was about four months into their relationship when he had finally summoned up the courage to say it. It appeared as if it was a huge relief for Asuna to hear. He wasn't sure what had taken him so long, but now he felt as if they had passed a big hurdle in their relationship.

He soon grew to have a new infatuation with her legs; they were long and then, seemingly to go on for miles. If he ever spaced out, he found his eyes trailing to her kneecaps, and how he wished he could kiss the taut skin there. Recently, he had noticed his appreciation for her body, other than her face.

And it wasn't long before Kazuto had finally caught up with the other boy's his age, maturing to their level and finally sealing the deal with his love, Asuna.
