A/N: Hello guys, it`s me again. This is really just a short love story I randomly had the great idea of making, and this is the first chapter of that story. I dont really know how long it will be, but I am guessing around 2-3 chapters. If you for some reason enjoy this, please be sure to leave a review, and I will be bringing chapter 2 your way shortly.
PS: Gotta warn you, this story will contain a lemon! Not in this chapter though.
Kirito`s POV
It all used to be so perfect. I would come home from school every day with Asuna, looking forward to spending the afternoon together. We would do our homework, cook dinner, and enjoy a good movie afterwards. Or we would gather our friends from the game, and make a giant bonfire. Celebrate that we actually made it out. Life was, in some way, perfect. I had the most beautiful girl in probably the entire universe as my girlfriend, and we loved each other. In addition, I had the best friends a man could get. The very same friends from the game. The ones who helped me get out.
But life has a tendency of always taking away the things you love the most. And this time, it took away the only thing I can`t live without. My beautiful "Lightning Flash Asuna" My light in the darkness. My only solace, in a world of grief.
It started with a stupid argument. I do not even know what we argued about any more. It evolved into a shouting match; we were constantly getting more and more angry at each other. It ended with her leaving the house. I haven`t spoken to her since that day. And worst of all, I said some pretty mean things to her.
How could I? How could I possibly have said such horrible things to my girlfriend? My former wife! She was the only thing driving me forward when we were stuck in that Death Game. And, stupid as I am, I had insulted her, and possibly killed off our relationship. The one thing I can`t live without.
I could feel my heart slowly being crushed by guilt as I thought about it. "Why?" "Why did I have to do something so STUPID!" I turned around, hoping to find a better position in my bed. Sleep sure as hell wouldn`t come easy. But I had brought this on myself. It was my fault, and only mine. "Tomorrow, I am going to fix this. I can`t live without her"
Asuna`s POV
"You really did it this time…" My thoughts wouldn`t leave me alone. I simply couldn`t stop thinking about the argument I had with Kirito the other day. It was our first real "fight" as a couple. And it hurt, it really did. But it was all my fault. I shouldn`t have started talking about such a stupid thing. I can`t even remember what it was, that`s how stupid it is!
I couldn`t believe myself for arguing with the one thing that meant something in my life. He was the reason I made it out of SAO. Without him, I don`t know if I could have made it. He was like my light at the end of the tunnel. I loved him so much, yet I managed to start an argument with him.
The result was bad. He said some pretty mean things to me, but I`m sure he didn`t mean it. I drove him to it. I can be quite annoying sometimes, if I really want to. It ended with me leaving. That was probably a very bad move. If I had stayed, maybe we could have figured it out, and we wouldn`t be mad at each other right now. It would all be back to normal. I tried to reposition myself in my king-sized bed, in a desperate attempt to catch some sleep.
Tomorrow I was going to fix this, make sure it never happens again. End this stupid argument. Maybe we could go back to being a couple. And maybe he would hold me again, because god knows I need that hug. I miss him. I miss him so much.
…
The doorbell woke me up the next day. It was a loud and painful sound, ripping straight through your sleep. My parents were not home, so I knew I had to go downstairs and check who it was. I somehow managed to get up from my bed, get dressed, and before I knew it, I was standing at the front door. I opened it up whilst letting out a big yawn.
"ASUNA-SAN!"
It was Rika, of course.
"W-What do you want?" I asked, still half-asleep.
"I just wanted to invite you on a ski-vacation to my cabin!" She smiled, happily presenting me with a note, with a lot of information scribbled onto it.
I grabbed it, and took a quick glance. A ski-vacation to Norway, huh? Didn`t sound too bad.
"Maybe, I`m quite busy at the moment…" I answered, trying not to fall asleep right on the spot.
"Oh, just so you know, Kirito-kun is going!" Rika smiled.
I froze, staring right at her. Did she just say… Kirito-kun? I couldn`t believe my luck. It would be the perfect place to apologize. And I would be able to spend a week with Kirito!
"COUNT ME IN!" I said, probably a little too loud.
Rika laughed, before saying goodbye, and leaving towards the mall. I closed the door, and took a deep breath. A vacation, huh? Time to pack.
A/N: There you have it! That was the first chapter, sorry if it was a little boring, but I felt it was necessary to have this sort of chapter here. If you enjoyed, I would love it if you left a review! Tell me if I have some grammar mistakes, because I am pretty sure I do! See you guys in the next chapter!
