I was sitting at an outdoor lunch table with Asuna and my main friends (Leafa, Seven, Sinon, Lisbeth) and we were having lunch.

The precocious, silver headed girl had barely touched her dishes, seeming more interested in something she was reading at that moment.

'You know, Miss Genius,' Sinon said sarcastically at some point, addressing the child prodigy, 'you don't have to study even at lunch time. It won't hurt you to take a break in order to eat properly.'

'The annoying brunette is right, Seven,' Leafa agreed with a nod. 'I know how much you like eating Kirito's cum, but that itself isn't enough to nourish you.'

Just when I think that woman cannot become more vulgar and twisted!

That comment of hers caused Lisbeth to blush and Asuna to give her blonde frenemy a deadly glare.

Not affected, Seven raised her eyes. 'I'll eat, eventually,' she rolled her eyes. 'Fear not, folks. I know how much you all want me to die, but I won't. At least not of hunger.'

'What have you been reading anyway?' Sinon asked.

'An interesting study,' Seven answered casually, taking a sip of juice with her eyes back on the book. 'Did you fellows know that women are four times more resistant to sexual temptations than men?'

'WHAT?' I cried, instinctively standing up. 'Are you implying that us men are weak, baby girl?'

All other girls at the table giggled.

'Sorry, Kirito kun. Its' a scientific fact,' Leafa said with a teasing smile. 'You cannot combat science.'

'I'm surprised she pronounced the word scientific correctly,' Seven mumbled, having never held Leafa's brains in high regard.

Ignoring Seven's remark, I slammed my fist down on the table. 'I bet I can go without sex for longer than any of you,' I declared.

Asuna, who was more offended than the others, stood up too. 'Please, you wouldn't last one week without crawling at my feet, begging for poon.'

'Oh, yeah?' I raised an eyebrow. 'And I bet you wouldn't last half a week without crawling at my feet, begging for my dick.'

Leafa's POV...

Asuna and Kirito glared at each other.

'Do you know what that means?' the redhead asked in a low, threatening voice.

Kirito nodded.

'ABSTINENCE WARS,' both of them cried at the same time.

And so, Kirito and Asuna had a bet. From now on, they would go without sex, without jacking off. The first one to beg the other for sex would lose the bet.

Of course, from now on, none of us could try to seduce Kirito, since that would give Asuna an unfair advantage. And we all wanted the redhead to win fair and square. (Don't look at me like that; I love Kirito, but it's only natural that I support my gender.)

'Wait a minute,' Sinon raised her hand. 'How will we make sure that neither of you will cheat by masturbating?'

'This can be solved easily,' Seven declared. And, addressing Kirito and Asuna, she carried on, 'Come to my dorm room in the afternoon. I will attach on your heads a micro chip I have invented, which is online connected to my computer 24/7. It will inform me instantly if either of you cheats by masturbating or trying to remove that chip.'

That sounded creepy. Nevertheless, both Kirito and Asuna wanted so bad to win that they accepted.

'Go, Asuna,' I gave the red a thumbs up.

'Destroy him, girl,' Sinon gave her a thumbs up too.

Next, Sinon and I highfived, in one of the rare moments we are not at each other's throats.

'So you all think Asuna will win?' the boy sighed.

Lisbeth stood up and smiled kindly at Kirito. 'I believe in you, Kirito kun. I know you can do it,' she said, placing a hand on her chest.

'Thanks, Liz,' Kirito hugged her. 'At least someone believes in me.'

With those words, he and Asuna walked away.

No sooner had they walked away than Lisbeth turned to Seven. 'I bet 100 dollars on Asuna,' the pinkhead said and put a 100 dollar bill in a box Seven had conveniently just produced!

'50 dollars on Asuna,' Sinon bet as well.

'Wait a minute,' I scratched my head. 'Have you been carrying this box for bets around all your life, just in case you needed it someday?'

The silverhead chuckled without answering.

I knew that this story would end with Asuna and Kirito fucking like wild animals. The question was who would admit defeat and make the first move?

A long time passed since Asuna and I had that bet. At the beginning, both of us were really persistent. Even the Valentine Day went by without us touching each other!

I didn't want to admit it, but, for me, it was harder. Not only because I was man, but also because I was attending a school full of hot girls. True, they had agreed not to try to seduce me, but still, just them being around was enough of a temptation for me.

Not that Asuna wasn't tempted at all by seeing all those girls around, mind you. But Asuna, for all her lesbian tendencies, did not see girls that way 24/7; there were times she could relax with them innocently, as friends. I, on the other hand, could not help having naughty thoughts every time I laid eyes on a beautiful lady.

On the other hand, that (the fact that I was competing under more adverse conditions than my girlfriend) was exactly what would make my final victory all the more impressive!

Evening. I knocked on Asuna's door.

She opened. She was wearing only a white, sleeveless t-shirt and underpants the same color.

'Hey,' I said, kinda angrily, resisting the urge to instantly push her on the floor, get on top of her and make mad, passionate love to her as if there was no tomorrow.

'Yeah, hey,' she replied, with the same expression as me.

'I want back the DVD that I lent you,' I said.

'Why? Did Seven ask for it back?'

'No, but I want to watch it tonight.'

'I'll give it to you tomorrow. I'm watching it right now.'

'But I want to watch it.'

'Too bad. As I said, I'm watching it. If you want to watch it so bad tonight, come in and watch it with me.'

Silence.

'Unless,' Asuna carried on with a meaningful smile, 'you're afraid that you'll be unable to resist the temptation if you sit next to me!'

'Oh, please,' I moved her aside and entered her dorm room with a dismissive gesture. 'Even if you give me 4 viagras and strip to nudity, there is no way I'll touch you.'

And so, we sat on the couch to watch that movie. Together.

Later, Asuna and I were sitting on her couch and watching the aforementioned movie. It was hot, so I had removed some of my clothes, being left with only my black t-shirt and underpants on. At some point during the movie, we had got hungry, so Asuna paused the movie to fetch a snack from the kitchen. Unfortunately, the only things left in the fridge were honey and oysters. (By the way, I'm not sure, but I think I saw those foods once somewhere in a list called 'The most aphrodisiac dishes.') Anyway, we were so hungry that we ate them. Then we resumed watching the movie.

At another point, the movie reached a sex scene. So hot. I gulped and I think Asuna did the same.

I felt her soles touching my thighs.

'Hey,' I turned my head. 'Why are you touching me? Are you trying to cheat? Or are you trying to surreptitiously get some skin to skin pleasure, you loser?'

'It was just an accidental touch,' Asuna snapped. 'Besides, you accidentally (when speaking the word 'accidentally', she made the quotation marks gesture) touched me a lot of times over the movie.'

'Did not!' I lied.

'You did,' she insisted.

The movie was over. With a sigh of arousal, which she tried to mask as a sigh of boredom, Asuna turned off the tv.

'I'm going to bed,' she declared. 'Time to go back to your dorm room. Well, unless you want to admit defeat.'

'Oh, please,' I scoffed. 'I can sleep in the same bed as you without touching you.'

'Prove it,' she provoked.

'Fine,' I snapped. 'Let's go to sleep together!'

The next moment, when I realized how that sounded, I took an awkward expression and specified, 'Well, when I say sleep together, I mean just sleep, not...'

'Yeah, I got that, you genius,' Asuna interrupted me, rolling her eyes.

And so, we went to sleep together!

Asuna and I were now lying on her bed, next to each other. It was so hot that we had to sleep as lightly dressed as we were when we watched that movie. That was a hot February indeed!

'Hey, don't touch, you cheater,' Asuna pushed me away.

'I didn't touch you,' I lied. 'And if I did, it was because you touched me first!'

Oh, boy, this would be a long night!
