Hey everyone and welcome to my first Sword Art Online story. I watched pieces of it recently and something always came to mind. Kirito has Asuna, Lisbeth, Silica, and others to pick from yet he chooses Asuna. Asuna, the bland girl that doesn't stand out among the others personality or looks wise yet everyone acts like she's something special. This may just be me, buy I liked Lisbeth a lot better and at least she seemed to actually be in love with Kirito without needing him to prove it like with Asuna. Anything noteworthy about her character is shown through Kirito.

Okay rant over. Anyway I just really liked the idea of Lisbeth ending up with Kirito so much that I decided to write a story about it. Be warned that characters will be really OOC. Kirito with be a bit of an idiot for story purposes, but I'll try to not make it too bad. No promises. Enjoy the story.

CHAPTER 1:NIGHT IN THE DRAGON'S NEST

Kirito didn't know what to think about the situation he was in. He just looked at the intertwined fingers of his and the blacksmith girl's hand. She had said that it was warm, he didn't know if that was good or bad right now.

Romance was never his strong point in real life or otherwise. Being the loner that he was didn't help too much either. One thing was for sure, he couldn't say that he didn't like the feeling of her hand in his. It felt nice, like some connection to reality again.

The pink haired girl, Lisbeth, stirred in her sleep causing Kirito to quickly close his eyes.

She smiled a little, "Thanks Kirito for everything. You have a kind heart and I know that we just met, but I feel like I'm in love you. You risked your life just so I wouldn't have to die alone. Sweet dreams my swordsman and black knight in shining armor." she said to what she thought was his sleeping form.

What happened next wasn't expected. She gave a gentle kiss on his cheek and moved a bit closer to him before returning to her sleep.

Kirito felt his heart pounding against his chest as if it was going to burst from his body. She loved him?

That was a thought that hadn't crossed his mind until these last few moments. It just seemed strange that they had just met at her shop and she was yelling at him for breaking her masterpiece.

Oh yeah, another thing to feel guilty for. He'd find a way to make it up to her somehow.

He found a himself smiling at her peaceful face. Only to notice that despite being in a game and that he'd given her his coat, she seemed to be cold.

The decision he made would be a bit awkward for him after what just happened, but it was a start for making everything up to her.

Kirito gently nudged her, to which she opened to her eyes and stared at him, "Are you cold?" he asked.

She blushed a little, "Well yeah, but I didn't want to ask you if we could...share..." she trailed off.

He blinked, "Share a sleeping bag?" he asked to which he only got a shy nod.

This prompted him to smile, "Come on in." he said.

Lisbeth got out of the sleeping bag she occupied rather quickly before gently sliding in next to Kirito.

He looked her in the eyes, "Better?" he asked.

She smiled and felt the warmth that now flooded her cheeks, "Better." she replied.

Kirito felt himself slowly doze off as Lisbeth tried to do the same. After she thought that he was asleep, she wrapped her arms around him and snuggled into his embrace as she too dozed off.

In his sleep, Kirito subconsciously did the same to her. It was nice for both of them, but Lisbeth just hoped it would last.

I know this is a short start, but I've got to look up a few things before I go past this. Hope you guys like it regardless. I really like this show and I hope this is okay for any people that are a bit cannon obsessed. This will probably not be canon in anyway from here on out because I simply can't write like that. Well It's been fun and I'll see you all next time.
