A/N: Hey guys! Christmas eve! So excited! So, here's a little bit more of a Christmas-y episode.


Chapter 27. Christmas special.

Kazuto flung open his eyes. Christmas day. He hadn't been this excited since he was a small child, he rushed over to his sisters bedroom and knocked loudly on the door.

"Uhhh... What is it Onii-chan?"

"Christmas Sugu! What else?"

"Seriously? It's 6:30am, your seventeen and I'm fifteen, since when did you get up this early for anything?"

"Since Asuna, now come on! Chop Chop! Mum's already up!" He couldn't wait to give Asuna his present.

He ran downstairs and munched on breakfast before rushing to the Christmas tree, tearing through his presents.

Midori came up behind him, Sugu behind her, both groggily managing to eat their breakfasts.

"Aren't you little old to still be getting presents?"

"Hey! I missed two Christmases! I'm gonna make up for them!"

He opened many clothes and games for his PC. He eventually came to Klein's gift. He wondered what could possibly be under such awful wrapping,the cloaaped around a sword like object. Stuck to it was a note with scruffy writing.

Yo, Kirito!
Decided to get you something a little more expensive this year, and I thought maybe you'd like to get into Kendo or something like that after being the best swordsman in Sao. So, I got you a wooden sword. Open it up and see what it's modeled after.
From your best buddy, Klein.

Kazuto chuckled at the message. He then proceeded to ungracefully shred the wrapping paper leaving nothing but a trail of ripped Christmas rubbish.

A black wooden elucidator lay on the floor, it was almost perfectly accurate. It was weighted, It was the perfect length and the patterns were perfectly replicated. It was a precise replica, other than the wooden finish. He made a mental note to personally thank Klein for such an amazing present and put it beside him on the floor. Three presents remained.

Hiya! Rika here, or Lisbeth, I came together with Klein and got you this, it will go with the elucidator! You owe me a lunch for it by the way, it wasn't cheap!
Love, Rika.

Kazuto lifted a sheath out of a box, black, shoulder strap and a solid structure. Perfect. He could only wish his presents to them were as good. Afterwards, he came to Silica's present.

A small ready made Christmas note saying, to Kirito, merry Christmas, Keiko.

Inside was a pair of fingerless gloves, a Santa hat with a beard and a pair of black boots.

A note was stuck on the boots. The fingerless gloves and these are to make you look more like Kirito! All you need is a cloak! The Santa hat will look funny though, please wear it today!

Kazuto imagined her giggling as she wrote. Eventually Agil's present came around. Kirito, I can't believe you requested presents instead of money or something you don't have to unwrap, but to be fair you missed two years of Santa. So, a new game and a shoulder plate for if you happen to get a cloak similar to the Blackwyrm! You still owe me a ragout rabbit meal by the way.
Signed, Agil.

Kazuto hadn't stopped smiling the entire morning, and this broadened it. He took the game upstairs and strapped his shoulder plate over his padded coat. He wore a black T-shirt and black cargo pants, shoving on his boots and fingerless gloves. Finally he strapped his familiar black sword to his back. If Asuna had gotten anything like what he had got, his present would be excellent.

He ran out the house, grabbing a mistletoe he left hanging above the doorway and leaving Sugu and Midori with the rest of the Christmas tree to themselves. Rushing to the park his flicked out his phone asking if it was ok to come to Asuna's house, doubting very much that he would be allowed, knowing Asuna's parents.

"Hey, my white princess, mind if I come to your house for a bit. I have a present I'd like to give you."

"Ohayou! Of course Kirito-kun, I have your present right here too!"

"I'll be right over!" Snow gently floated down. covering the earth in a white blanket, it was Kazuto's third white Christmas. Fate had decided his favourite person in the world deserved a white Christmas with her boyfriend. The soft crunch his boots made when he mad contact with the ground never got old and the chilly air reddened his nose and cheeks. He couldn't wait to see Asuna's winter outfit.

The frosty door fling open, Kazuto was left standing with his mouth hanging open at the angel standing before him. A baby blue wool hat with little pom-poms hanging down on her shoulders, a long trench-coat stopping at her knees and little fluffy gloves. A pink scarf complimented her nicely and black trousers led to white snow boots.

"So, what do you think?" Asuna chirped, as happy as ever.

"It-its beautiful, you're beautiful." He said.

"Oh, you. Always flattering me. You make me out to be an angel. I'm not perfect you know."

"Oh, but you are! Especially to me." He swiftly moved his hand above her head, hanging the mistletoe. "Look what you're standing under."

Asuna didn't bother with words and gripped the unexpected Kazuto's face in her hands, mashing her lips with his. Kazuto passionately kissed back, making sure to make it as intimate as he could, he dropped the mistletoe and wrapped his arms around her waist. Asuna replied by swinging her arms around his neck, still holding on to the kiss. They both needed to breath, and were almost at their limits, but both had the same though. Just. a. little. longer.

Asuna gasped when they finally broke away, sucking in oxygen. Kazuto did the same, taking a single step back, sliding his hands into hers.

"Wow..." They said in unison.

~Walking around town.

"Well, this is as good a place as any." Kazuto said, stopping by the park.

"What for?"

"The presents!" He revealed a bag with an item of clothing in it. " I realised if everyone was getting you items you used to have in Sao, I'd join in, I asked Lisbeth, she said they were all getting you things like a wooden lambent light and such. So, to match, I got you this. It's a K.O.B uniform...I understand if it brings back bad memories but-"

"I LOVE IT!"

"E-eh?!"

"It's beautiful Kirito-kun! It's a carbon copy too, how did you get this?"

"I...Got it tailor made."

"Wow! Thank you so much!" She hugged him tightly, before carefully rolling it and putting it I her bag.

"I thought that that might not be enough as it's not very romantic, but I wanted to get it you to complete the set of presents. I also got you another present, I booked a holiday." He revealed a strip of paper.

"Where to?" Asuna's eyes widened with excitement.

"It's a famous romantic city. Look," She looked down at the strip of paper she was holding. Paris.

"Paris!? You're taking me to Paris!? You're the best boyfriend ever! I love you so much!" Asuna jumped into Kazuto's arms and embraced him tightly, crying tears of joy and constantly whispering Thank you into his ears.

"Hey, hey, It's not till February, we got a little wait."

"Where did you get enough money for this?"

"Two places, the work I did for the government including GGO paid rather well and I may or may not have borrowed a little bit of money from my family. I can pay them back though."

"Do they know you've 'borrowed' money?"

"Yup. I didn't steal it, promise. How could I get into their bank anyway."

"...You're the best Kirito-kun, I love you..."

"I've been blessed by your company all this time Asuna, It's time I start paying back."

"Dummy, You don't ever have to give me anything... except your love and compassion."

After wiping away the tears that rolled off her cheeks, Asuna managed to present her present.

"I got you the same thing you got me, to match your presents." He opened a bag with a tailor mad black cloak. Agil had said something about this and so Kazuto attached his shoulder plate to it.

"It's brilliant Asuna. Absolutely amazing. Now, if I wanted to, I could be Kirito here. Haha..." He put the cloak back in the bag. "Now, Silica wanted me to wear this." He put on his Santa hat and beard he had in his coat pocket.

Asuna fell into a laughing fit when he put it on, rolling on the floor.

"Hey! It's kinda cute if I do say myself."

"I love it," She breathed, breaking up her laughing fit, "It's just hilarious to see you dressed like that!"

"Humph..." Kazuto turned away and crossed his arms.

"I'm sorry, here." She skipped around to face him and pressed her forehead against his. "Will you forgive me for a kiss?" She pressed her lips against his, the fake beard tickling her chin. "I love the beard."

"Great! I've been thinking of growing one..."

"I didn't say I'd like you to grow one! You'll end up like Klein!"

"I'm kidding! Haha, Anyway, let's log in. We have more Christmas adventures to go on online!"

Asuna took Kazuto's hand as they traveled to Kazuto's house.

"I have another thing to tell you, I've started my driving lessons."

"Really?! But I thought the legal age here in Japan was 18?"

"It is. But the age for 125cc motorbikes is lower." Asuna stood still, shocked. Kazuto lost her hand and quickly turned, worried.

"You...A motorbike?" She stuttered.

"Umm, yeah... It's ok! You don't have to ride it if you don't want!"

"What if you get hurt! It's dangerous Kirito-kun!" She stamped in the ground.

"I'm sorry, I've always wanted to ride a bike instead of a car..."

"I... I just don't want to lose you to some stupid Accident, especially after what we've survived."

"It's fine, I'll be fine, I promise. If it makes you feel better, as soon as I'm able, I'll learn to drive a car too."

"It does Kirito-kun... It does... Just, please. Don't hurt yourself." Asuna gripped tightly at his chest and laid her head on his collarbone.

~In ALO.

"So, I farmed this for ages. You like it?" Kazuto asked as he presented the gleaming Lambent light.

"It's just as I remember... It's perfect. I got you these." She presented the dark repulser and the Elucidator.

"It took the death of a dragon and a lot of farming, but I managed to get you these too. It's just like the old days."

"I love you."

"I love you more."

"I love you most."

"I-... Screw it." Asuna a jumped at him, knocking him onto the floor, her lips smashing into his, they rolled on the snow covered hills of the 22nd floor, the blanket of white shimmering in the daylight.

Kazuto broke of the kiss for a split second, and managed to whisper "Thank you Hun, for the best Christmas ever..." He returned to the kiss.

Asuna replied by deepening the kiss, then breaking off for another split second to mutter, "Thank you too, for making this the greatest Christmas of all." She returned to the kiss and rolled over, Kazuto landing on top. Normally this would be where they broke off, but they kept kissing, braking and breathing heavily to get oxygen before slamming back into each other's lips, exploring each other with their hands and their tongues.

In both of their eyes, nothing could ever get in between their love, ever.

Merry Christmas, Asuna.

Merry Christmas, Kazuto.
