ASUNA'S POV
We arrived at the mall entrance just before noon, we still have to grab lunch and shop after. As I got off the bike, I took the helmet off and tucked my hair in place. I turned around to hear Kirito saying,
"I'll find a near parking area, go ahead. Text me where you are okay? Wait for me Asuna-tan." Smirking as he winked.
"Asuna-tan? What is he? Did he just give me another new nickname?" I smiled, I kind of liked it though. It had a cute tone to it.
I shaked my head and turned to face the mall entrance. I opened my bag for the check up and started strolling through the mall. One shop caught my eye as it was selling cute blouses that really had my taste. I started looking at the blouses near the window only to find Kirito standing outside waving at me. I smiled at him and waved for him to get inside. As he approached the shop doors, he gave me quick kiss on the cheek which I gladly accepted.
"Didn't take me long to find you. What do we have here?" He said as started looking at the blouses.
"Blouses for me, of course. What else?" I replied.
"Nothing." He shrugged.
He was beginning to get bored. We just arrived here for Pete's sake! I thought to myself. Maybe if I show him how I look with the blouses on, maybe I'll get his spirit's up.
"Neh Kirito-kun, want to see me wearing them?" I said as I twirled with much enthusiasm.
"Yeah sure." He replied with a blush.
"I'll be right back. Stay here, okay?" I told him before heading off to the dressing rooms.
I got one black crop top which I know he will love since he likes all things black. A gray polo shirt that hugged my body very neatly, not too tight and not too loose. A peach loose blouse that had holes on either shoulders. I chose to wear the peach on first and saved the best for last. As I was done changing, I got out and called for Kirito to come in. The dressing room was big enough for two people. Even though one person was only allowed inside, I really don't see the harm in letting your boyfriend take a peek.
"What do you think of this one?" I twirled, making sure he sees the back and front.
"I like it but the chest area is too revealing. You're cleavage is showing." He frowned.
"Whaaat? But I like it." I told him frowning too.
"I really don't mind you wearing that on one condition." He replied with a stern face.
"What is it?" I was relieved to hear him say it. Yes!
"You can only wear that when you're with me, okay?" He smiled.
"Sir yes sir!" I replied jockingly.
"Why are you so protective Kirito-kun? It's not like I'll go bending whenever I wear this blouse but oh well, whatever you say Mr. Boyfriend." I turned around and motioned for him to get out as I tried another shirt. I pulled the blouse up my head only to heart a snap. "Oh crap" I panicked. "Was it the blouse?" I checked and found out that it was my bra. "What to do? What to do?" I thought over and over. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and texted Kirito. We've only been dating in the real world for months but we feel like we've know each other for years. We were the "chill-understanding-complete opposites" kind of couple.
{Emergency! My bra strap broke! HELP! COME HERE!}
I hit send and waited for him to knock on the door.
"Asuna? Got your text. I'm going to look for bras okay? Stay here for a while. What size are you again?" He stuttered but he there was concern and playfulness in his voice. I bet he was laughing inside.
"I'm so embarrassed" I thought.
"Ahh.. a C. It doesn't have to be expensive. Just a bra for today." I quickly replied as my face was getting redder and redder. Reaching the shade of blood. "Okay, I'll be right back." He replied and strode off.
KIRITO'S POV
I got out the shop with one mission and one mission only. To find my girlfriend a bra. I've never done this before, in fact Asuna is my very first and will be my last girlfriend. Even though we've only dated for months now in the real world, we were indeed married in-game and I don't see any reason to act differently now that we're in the real world.
"Where can I find cheap bras?" I thought. "Oh right, the mall's department store."
I ran as fast as I could and started scanning at the small stands. Finally I found a stand that sold bras and other lingerie. This is harder than I thought, I don't know where to look for the sizes plus, people are looking. I sighed and took a deep breath and approached a sales lady.
"Um, miss? I'm in need of an assistance." I said as I rubbed my head.
The sales lady gladly complied. She was at the same age as me and Asuna and she was pretty but not exquisite. She gave me a flirty smile as she asked me bra related questions.
"A gift for your mom? Or sister maybe?" She said, eyes hoping. I didn't want to assume but I'd rather be prepared than to be caught off guard.
"Umm, for my girlfriend. Her bra broke in the dressing room so I'm here to buy a new one for her." As expected, her eyes gave that sad look.
"Oh, that's nice, what's her cup size?" She quickly replied.
"Umm, a cup? Oh a C. She's a C." I added. "What's nice by the way? I asked, curious.
"The thought of you aiding your girlfriend. It's quite cute. I envy her." She replied.
"Oh, that! Yeah. That's what boyfriends do I guess." Looking down my feet as I trailed.
"Here you go sir. You can pay at cashier 5." She told me as she pointed at the direction.
"Thank you so much for your help senpai." I bowed my head and went off to pay for my girlfriend's bra. I smirked, I'm holding a bra that my girlfriend will be wearing later. Ha! Lucky me.
ASUNA'S POV
10 minutes have passed and 3 sales ladies have approached my room. Checking to see if I was alright or if I was having trouble. I quickly told them my situation and they left me and said that they'll be out if I needed their help. Another 5 minutes passed and finally my knight arrived with a black bra in his hands. "Black as always" I thought. I watched his face as I opened the door. He was red as a tomato.
"Here Asuna, be careful next time okay? You don't know what I've been through to get this for you" he said with a chuckle.
I quickly grabbed the bra from him and said thank you. I took the old bra off and replaced it with the new one. Pulled the grey polo shirt on and got out of the room and called for Kirito.
"Kirito-kun? This one is simple but I like how it hugs my body." I said while turning.
"I like this but the material is too thin. I can see the black bra." He looked down and looked at his feet.
"Only if I wear a black bra right? It'll be alright if I wear a bra of the same color." I got inside the room again to change into the black crop top. He will like this, I'm sure of it. I got out and waited for him to lift his face up and watch me wearing black. His eyes bulged and he gulped.
"A-Asuna, you look..." he stuttered, tripping on his words.
"Beautiful? Magnificent? Breath taking?" I giggled.
"You look breath taking wearing black." he said as he looked at me again and motioned for me to turn around. He got up and pulled the shirt down.
"Stop pulling it down, it's a crop top." I muttered.
"People can see your back and your belly button." He replied as he sat down on the bench again.
"So? Stop whining okay? I want to be buy them! Is it okay?" I asked.
"Why do I have to decide? Whatever I say, you'll still end buying them like that table we bought in Aincrad on our honeymoon." He said as he leaned and sighed.
"Yes! Thank you Kirito-kun." I exclaimed and jumped on him, clinging on his neck.
"Now, now. There are people shopping here too you know? Let's go pay for them and grab lunch." He said as we got up and paid for the 3 items. We got out the store hand in hand, Kirito holding the paper bag with his other hand.
KIRITO'S POV
We went to eat lunch at a French restaurant under Asuna's request and yes, I'm paying for it. I sighed, we always shared money but when it comes to food I want to be able to be the one to provide it. I'm not being arrogant or bashful that I can provide. I just want to show her that I'm capable especially now that her mother's been making her meet countless of rich suitors to be married to her. I have faith in her, half of me wants to cling to the idea that she won't leave for anyone but half of me also wants me to fight for her even if she keeps telling me that there's no reason for me to fight. I just had to, it's not a question of "I must" but a question of an "I want."
The server greeted us as he approached us. He had blondish brown hair, tall around 6 ft. and he had nice features. He neared our table and started talking. When I looked up he was only looking at Asuna.
"Ah, my girlfriend. Always so clueless that guys are after her." I thought to myself. I cleared my throat and started citing my order.
"I want the chicken ravioli." I muttered as I looked intensely at the menu. The server turned to my side of the table and took my order. After taking my order he turned again to look at my girlfriend. I felt a kick on my ankle and then another kick. I looked up and saw Asuna eyeing me from her menu as she silently gave me the "get me out of this" look. I chuckled and said.
"What do you want babe?" I looked up and saw her play along.
"I dont know really, maybe a salad will do." She struggled to make a way out but she ended up taking as long as expected. She always takes so long in ordering food. She told one time that whenever she buys food, she has the urge to buy everything so she ends up pondering over which is best. I grabbed her hand and turned to the server.
"The beautiful lady will have a salad." I smiled.
"And what will be your drinks ma'am?" The server said only at her and only her. Hello Mr. Server, I'm here too. Why do I even bother?
"Just water and coke for my boyfriend." Asuna stated. The server took our orders and left.
Asuna gave out a faint sigh and said. "Why are people so rude? Why can't they just leave us alone when picking food? I get that they're in a hurry but a person needs time to think too." She complained.
"I don't think he was in a hurry babe. In fact, he was savoring the moment. The poor man is probably hyperventilating in the kitchen right now because you kept dazzling him with your brown eyes and long brown hair." I said in a girly voice.
"Neh, jealous aren't ya?" She said followed with a smirk.
"Pfft! Me? Jealous?" I laughed and dried my eyes. Why is she so cute! What did I do to deserve this woman? We talked about what we wanted to do for the summer and even decided to take our pride and joy; Yui to the beach if we had time. Yui maybe an AI, but she treats us as her parents and we've grown to love her as our own. To think that a 19 and a 18 year old can raise a child but Yui was far more than a child, she can be childish but she is also smarter than most of us. I loved how the two daughter and mother would interact. Seeing Asuna so caring and loving to Yui makes me wonder what our future would look like.
Our food arrived and we talked more about what to do. When we finished, I paid the bill, took her hand and spent the rest of the day wondering what to do next.
ASUNA'S POV
We slightly argued on what to do next. We never went out and never argued. It wasn't a heated argument. More of like a sudden misunderstanding.
"If I choose, you won't like it and if I don't choose you get mad. What do you want me to do woman?" Kirito feeling aggravated at our situation.
"I don't want to choose too because you might not like it." I sighed.
"How about we just play and the winner gets to choose. The loser gets to say nothing, deal?"
"Deal." Kirito replied.
We played rock, paper, scissors, it took 5 turns and I won and was so happy. I wanted to irritate him as much as possible. Maybe we'll watch a movie? A chick-flick, something a man will never say yes to but alas! It's my lucky day. We bought tickets for the movie and ordered popcorn and water. The movie starts at 3 pm sharp and it was still 2:40 so we had to sit on the benches for a while.
KIRITO'S POV
I can't believe I lost and now I have to go watch a boring movie but at least I get something out of this. I get to see her happy and that alone makes my heart at ease. I bent down and looked at my watch to check the time, unfortunately I dropped the tickets. Asuna was quick to act and bent down to grab it and then I saw them. It was like watching a movie in slow motion. As she bent down I was quick to grab her back.
"What...what do you think you're doing?" I exclaimed, worried and panicking. Was I overreacting? No, overreacting is the right reaction. I, her boyfriend should be the only one allowed to see his my girlfriends breasts!
"Grabbing the tickets you dropped dummy!" She puffed.
I pointed down her chest and she just realized what had happened. Her face turned red and she turned around to see if someone saw what just happened. She covered her face and let out a relief. I chuckled at her cuteness.
"I told you not to wear blouses like that!" I said angrily trying to make her flustered.
"Yeah, yeah, I learned my lesson." She said. I pulled the hem of her shirt at the back so that her chest would be covered.
"I get that you don't want it to happen again but you don't have to choke me in the process. You pervert!" She glared.
"Wait, so I'm the pervert now? As if I haven't seen those before!" I laughed as I pointed at her chest.
"You...you playa!" She laughed.
I looked at the time again and it was about time to enter the cinema.
We were half way through with movie when she requested for popcorn refills. I, a bored man with nothing to do but get away acted accordingly to my beloved's request. I got out the cinema and paid for the popcorn refill. I got back and sat on the chair next to her. I put my arm around her and turned my head to whisper at her ear.
"What shall we do after this?" I whispered using my sexy voice knowing how that can affect her but I didn't get a reply. I grabbed her face and kissed her hard only to find out that...this was not my girlfriend. The lady talked in an old voice,
"I've never ever been kissed like that in my 70 years" the old lady said with shock in her voice.
"I'm so sorry ma'am! I didn't know! I thought you were my girlfriend! I bowed my head as an apology only to hear laughter at the back.
It was Asuna, she's seen it all and she didn't even stop me. I got up from the chair and sat next to her while she was still laughing holding her belly.
"That was priceless! You just kissed an old lady! She said as she laughed again.
"You didn't stop me! I growled.
"I didn't know it was you until you kissed her!" She laughed again!
Finally she stopped and continued talking. "Can't believe you cheated on me" she said seriously. "With an old lady" she continued with laughter again.
"How did it feel?" She asked.
"Want to find out?" I said as I kissed her lovingly. This is not going to go away for a while. I just hope our friends don't find out what happened today.
