LIZ'S POV
The day is new and it's going to be a long one. Christmas break was nearing its end and having to go to school without ending the break properly was itching me to do something memorable. So I texted the girls, asking them if they were free and up for a night out.
{Let's meet up at the East Garden of the Imperial Palace. I have something hot cooking up. Go will ya?}
{Sent to: Asuna; Sinon; Silica; Sugu; Argo; Sasha; Yulier}
I pressed the "send" button and smirked as I did so.
"Tonight's going to be unforgettable" I thought to myself
AUTHOR'S POV
It was almost 5 PM when Asuna was dropped off by Kirito.
"Call me when you guys are done, okay?"
"I will, thanks love"
"Okay, I'm off. Be careful and I love you"
"I love you more"
She gave Kirito one last tight hug, a quick kiss and waved good bye at him. He'd pick her up later. Suguha couldn't come, she was spending the night with her school friends but it was okay, there were more days to spend still.
"Liz!" Asuna yelled and waved at her best friend who was waiting for her and the rest to arrive at the entrance of the East Garden of the Imperial Palace. The two hugged the moment they neared each other.
"Where's Sugu?"
"She couldn't come"
"Why?"
"She had other plans"
"Ooh, what are those plans? She didn't perhaps have a boyfriend during Christmas Eve?" Liz added jokingly
"Oh no! Kirito wouldn't allow it" Asuna replied and let out a soft giggle. Kirito can be very protective when it comes to family. Especially towards his little sister Suguha.
"Eh? He's like that with you too" Liz smirked. She loved teasing the couple. It was just such a waste not to. Asuna and Kirito's faces whenever she or Klein teased them were always worth it.
"Yeah, even though he's a year younger than me. He can be very possessive sometimes"
"Hey Asuna, since Kirito isn't with us for the night. How about we go drinking and have a blast?"
"What are you talking about Liz? Kirito would be okay with it. It's my mom you're going to have to deal with"
"Eh, nevermind then"
And just as they finished their conversation, Liz received a message from Silica. Informing her that she wouldn't be able to attend their "Night Out". Liz brought up her phone for Asuna to read.
"It's understandable if Silica can't come. She's young and her parents wouldn't allow it" Asuna stated
"Yeah but we're missing 2 people now. I was hoping we could all spend the night together"
"We can spend it together some other time Liz" Asuna assured
"Yeah, Yeah" Liz replied
A few minutes passed and Sinon arrived
"Sinonon! Over here!" Asuna called out to her
"Sorry I'm late guys" Sinon apologized the moment she caught up with them
"It's okay, Sasha and Yulier aren't here yet too"
"You don't have any other plans for today Sinon?" Liz asked
"I wouldn't be here if I had any now would I?" Sinon replied, smiling. Having friends like the gang was a blessing to her so she enjoyed and treasured every moment she could have with them.
"Good, because Silica and Suguha couldn't come"
"Why?"
"Suguha's spending the day with her high school classmates and Silica with her family" Asuna replied
"Ahh, okay. So just us 4 then?"
"Yep!" Asuna replied
"Yeah" Liz followed
Another few minutes passed and Sasha arrived. They introduced Sasha to Sinon, since they never really met and got to know each other yet. Same goes for Yulier.
"Sasha, Meet Sinon. Sinon, Meet Sasha" Liz said
"It's nice to meet you Sasha-sensei" Sinon shook and bowed in front of Sasha
"Oh please. Just call me Sasha Sinon-san. No need for such formalities when we're going out to have fun" Sasha replied and gave Sinon and warm smile.
"Then, just call me Sinon" Sinon smiled back
"Sorry I'm so late guys!" Yulier called out to the group as she stopped to collect more air. She was running like crazy.
"Easy now Yulier-san. You're not that late" Asuna assured a breathless Yulier
"I'm not?" She asked
"You're not" Asuna replied
"Okay good. Phew!" Yulier exclaimed.
"Let me introduce to you the greatest sniper in GGO, Yulier meet Sinon" Asuna said and clasped her palms together, smiling from ear to ear.
"It's good to meet a fellow VR player. Hi Sinon, I'm Yulier" Yulier gave a warm smile similar to Sasha and Sinon couldn't feel any less comfortable.
"Same goes to you Yulier-san" Sinon replied and bowed down in front of the older woman
"Drop the formalities girl. We don't need that" Yulier replied and the whole gang let out a giggle.
"So where we going and what are we doing exactly?" asked Sasha
"To get wasted of course" Liz replied pumping her fist in the air
"Liz! I told you no!" Asuna exclaimed and folded her arms across each other below her chest.
"It's fine by me, it's been so long since I've had a night out with just girls" Yulier said
"Me too" Sasha added
"Well, if you're all fine with it then I'm fine with it too" Asuna said, puffing her cheeks and giving Liz a worried but piercing glare which the short haired took notice.
"Sinonon? Are you up for it?" Asuna asked the black haired girl took a while to process whatever they were planning to do
"Umm…Yeah" She replied, half worriedly and half confidently
"We're not being bad influences here. We're just trying to have fun, okay?" Liz said
"I didn't take it as bad influence. It's just…that it's my first time that's all" Sinon replied, scratching her arm and turning away from Liz.
"What? Getting wasted and going out with all girls?" Liz asked
"Both actually" Sinon replied
"We'll take care of you" Yulier assuring a worried looking Sinon
"We'll take it easy since it's your first time" Asuna said oblivious to her words and with that the girls started their day.
**3 hours later**
KIRITO'S POV
I woke up from the loud buzzing coming from my phone, I picked it up and checked the caller. It was Liz, I stared at it confused at first and answered.
"Hello, Liz?" I asked bewildered.
"What could've possibly happened for her to call at…an hour like this? WHAT?"
My eyes bulged from the information I just saw.
"It's almost midnight and they're just calling now?"
"Kirito! You need to come here now A-S-A-P!" Liz semi-shouted on the phone and I heard what seemed like Asuna, whining trying to get the phone from Liz.
"Liz? Is that Kirito? Let me speak to him PLEEEEAAAASSSEEEE"
I heard from the background. My eyebrows meeting each other from confusion and utter apprehension.
"Did she sounded drunk right now? Her mom is going to kill me"
"Where are you guys? I'm heading there now"
"At Agils'" Liz replied and I readied to fetch my girl.
**20 minutes later**
I opened the door and hurriedly got inside Agil's café and what caught my eyes was something I never deemed to see ever in my life. A drunk Asuna. My put together, responsible, fearless princess is drunk. It took me a while to process what I was seeing and got to her as fast I could.
"Oh Kirito-kun dearest! You made it just in time" She cooed as I got in front of her.
She started wrapping her arms around my shoulders. Whispering what seemed like things we'd do far in the future. My face turned red from her words and I gulped. I scanned the room and saw an exhausted Sinon and Sasha, sleeping on the table. A crying Yulier and Liz trying to comfort her. I picked Asuna up by the waist and she obliged to wrap her legs around me. She started messing with my hair and I tried my best to swat her arms from my face.
"Asuna. Stop it" I said sternly
"Kirito-kun you're no FUN" She huffed at me and started nipping on my neck.
More tempting as it was, I was far too eager to bring her home safe than to give her what she "thinks" she wants right now. I hoisted her up so that I was now carrying her in a princess hug and she squirmed in my arms. I approached Liz while carrying Asuna and spoke.
"Liz? What did you do?" I demanded
"What? Why is it instantly my fault?" she asked back. Comforting a now sleeping Yulier
"Who else am I going to ask then? I shot back looking at Sinon, Sasha and Yulier who were now passed out drunk.
"Her mom is going to be so pissed to find her princess all drunk and improper" I quickly added as I tried to keep Asuna still in my arms
"Look, we didn't plan for this to happen okay? She was so confident that she won't get drunk and when we got here at Agil's she kept drinking and she didn't listen to me"
"Where's Agil?" I asked
"Kirito-kun? Let's go somewhere private puhleeeaasseee" Asuna whispered into my ear and I tried my best to ignore her sweet, seductive voice.
"He went out with his wife" Liz replied.
"I'm going to call Klein. He has a car and hopefully we can drop all of you to your houses" I said and Liz nodded in agreement.
"What about your bike?" Liz asked
"I'll just leave it here and retrieve it tomorrow. I can't drive that thing with Asuna like this" I replied and Liz understood.
I put Asuna down on the chair but her hands were clinging on my collar so tightly that I had to talk sweet words for her to comply.
"Babe? Listen to me please" I said as I stared into her droopy eyes
She gave out a weak but amused smile at me and started giggling.
"Asuna? Babe, let go of my collar so that I can set you down" I pleaded as I grasped her arms wrapping around me tightly.
"NO!" She retorted!
"Carry me Kirito-kun please!"
I sighed and picked her up in a bridal carry. She was starting to get heavier so I sat down on the chair instead.
I looked at Liz who was checking up on Sinon and Sasha.
"Why are you still standing though? I asked
"M-Me?" Liz replied
"Yeah, who else?"
"Well, let's just say I have high alcohol tolerance" She replied
"Good thing, because we'd all be dead if you were drunk like them too"
"Kirito-kun?"
"Yeah Asuna?"
Hi-ccup - "I want to go to a love hotel with you right now! Pleassseee Kirito pleaaassee it's been so long" Asuna said and the blood ran up to my face as I avoided Liz's burning glare. "Fuck! Why did she have to say that right now?"
"Ahem!" Liz coughed
"She has no knowledge as to what she's blabbering about Liz" I said, sweating bullets evident on my face
"Yeah right" Liz said sarcastically
"I've got my eye on you Kirigaya"
"Of course I wouldn't! You can trust me 100%" I replied and took my phone out to text Klein
{Are you still awake? I need your help. Meet me at Agils and bring your car ASAP}
I hit send and put my phone back on my pocket. Asuna, who was surprisingly energetic earlier was all too ready to succumb to the power of alcohol. I looked at her sleepy expression and pulled back her messy hair away from her face. She gave out an annoyed grunt, swatted my hand away and spoke.
"Don't touch me hooman! I have a boyfriend!" She said
I was taken aback to her words. She was well aware of my presence earlier. She even whispered lustful things to me and now she's completely forgotten that I'm the one carrying her.
"Oh really?" I asked, waiting for her reply. Whatever it was going to be, it'll be hilarious but I was wrong again.
"Yeah, and I intend to be faithful to him for the rest of my life so let go of me fool!" She said as she struggled to loosen herself from my grip.
I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "I'm the luckiest dork ever"
"You are being faithful to him love. It's me, Kirito" I said as I tried to gently place a kiss on her burning red cheek.
"Lies! Lies I say!" She said and moved her head away from me.
"Alright, Alright. Calm down and just close your eyes" I told her and soon enough she slowly drifted to sleep.
10 minutes later and Klein arrived at Agil's and helped me and Liz carry the girls to his car. We locked the café knowing and informed Agil that we're heading home. Hopefully he'd understand, I know he will.
"Where to first?" Klein asked, smirking at me and Asuna's position at the back of the car. She was straddling me, her face nuzzled warmly on neck since she didn't want to sit on my lap and face the head rest on the front seat.
"Yulier first, Sasha next and then Sinon" Liz replied
"What about Asuna?" Klein asked
"I'm taking her home tomorrow since she can't come home looking like this right now. Drop Liz after Sinon and then drop me off last Klein" I spoke
"Okay! Got it" Klein replied and started driving to our first destination.
"Thanks Klein!" I said as I carried Asuna outside the car and started walking towards the front porch. I gave Klein one final wave and opened the door to the house. I locked the door and slowly made my way up the stairs. Suguha, who awoken from her sleep got out from her room and looked at me confused.
"Onii-chan?" She asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"Shhh! It's okay. Onee-chan just got drunk. She's staying here for the night" I replied
"Okay, but don't forget to tell mom and nee-chan's mom and dad" She said and got back to her room.
"Oh right! I forgot to text them!"
I placed a sleeping Asuna on my bed and got out her night gown she usually leaves behind for whenever we have unexpected sleep overs. I hoisted her body upwards so she was now sitting on the bed and proceeded to take her blouse off her.
"Don't touch me!" She said angrily
"I'm just going to change you to more comfortable clothes love" I said with a heavy sigh. She's being too difficult right now. I am never getting her drunk ever.
I unbuttoned her blouse and slipped it off her shoulders and unclasped her bra with my eyes closed. Although I've seen Asuna in all her naked glory, it just didn't feel right to see her so vulnerable without her consent so I tried my best to slip the night gown on her with my eyes shut. Once done, I took her jeans off and positioned her properly on the bed, making her face the wall to avoid her falling on the floor if she ever moves too much.
I sat on the bed and let out a tired sigh, took my phone out and started texting her mom and dad.
{Good Evening Mr. & Mrs. Yuuki. I know it's late but I wanted to let you know that Asuna is safe with me at home. She fell asleep and wouldn't wake up no matter how hard I try. I apologize for informing you at this hour. I fell asleep after her too. I'll drop her off first thing tomorrow}
I yawned and felt two arms wrap around my midsection. I turned around and Asuna had a peaceful look on her face. I took my clothes off except my boxers and got in the bed next to her. I pulled her to me and she mumbled in her sleeping state.
"I love you" She said
"I love you more my princess" I whispered and kissed her head. Thank god she's not the kind to puke when drunk or else it'd be a sleepless night for me.
