Sword Art Online
After The Incident
Chapter 15 – Warm Love
I was currently sitting on the bed of the hotel room, sitting quietly and looking down in a book. My focus was anywhere but the book though.
You see, We had just come back from our date in the village, and I was trying to calm down after a wonderful date, and tonight, we were going to dinner at a local restaurant about half a kilometer away from the hotel. Asuna was currently in the bathroom, taking a shower and getting ready for our next date.
I sighed softly and looked up at the many bags that was standing all around the living room.
"I can´t believe it only took an hour to get all this stuff" I mumbled "Maybe I should wear one of my new outfits.. No, that would ruin the gift of surprise for Asuna…"
I looked at my bags, then back at the shopping bags we had brought here from our date.
"hmm.. Maybe I should try that outfit" I mumbled as I stood up and grabbed an outfit I had bought in secret, so Asuna wouldn´t know.
I held it up in front of me and smiled a bit.
"Yeah… Yeah this could work" I said with a smile.
I went over to the bathroom door and knocked softly.
"Asuna? Can I ask you something?"
The soft singing that had been emanating from the bathroom stopped.
"Yeah, what is it Kazuto?" Asuna said softly.
"First, are you still in the bath?" I asked with a smirk "Second, can I come in?"
"Yes, and no!" She yelled sharply.
I chuckled softly and opened the door, just a little bit. I smirked and stuck my nose in teasefully.
"aww, why not?" I chuckled and smirked "I´m sure you´re steaming hot!"
"Stick that nose in one more centimeter," Asuna cried out "And I´m going to smack the door over it!"
"Ok, ok I get it" I said with a chuckle "I just wanted to know if it´s a fancy restaurant were going to tonight"
"I guess you can call it that, why?" Asuna asked as I could hear the water turn off.
"Oh, just curious" I said with a smile as I closed the door.
"Great, then this outfit is quite fitting" I said as I went back to my chosen outfit.
Soon Asuna came out in a t-shirt and short shorts.
"There, it´s all yours" She said with a glare as she threw me a towel.
"Aww, my princess is embarrassed" I said with a smirk "You´re not angry at me for wanting to taking a peek, are you?"
An evident blush crept onto Asuna´s cheeks and got more and more intense the more I talked.
"Pervert" She mumbled as she made her way to the closet.
I smirked a bit and snuck up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind.
"Yeah, but I´m your pervert" I whispered in her ear as I nibbled a bit on her earlobe.
A slight moan escaped her hips as she fought to push me off of her.
"S-Stop being perverted…" She mumbled weakly under her breath, her hands traveling up to my face.
"Why? I know you like this" I said teasefully "And you call me a pervert"
"T-That´s because…" She mumbled, not able to finish her sentence because of her moans.
"Because what?" I mumbled softly.
I traced my lips from her earlobe to her neck, earning even more moans from her, which motivated me to keep going.
"I-Idiot…S-Stop it" She mumbled as she desperately tried to push me off "B-Because if we don´t hurry, we won´t make it for our date"
"Ok, point taken" I said as I removed my lips from her neck. "Let me get a bath then. You can go ahead and change if you need to"
I sighed softly and smiled as I walked halfway towards the bathroom door, then turned around and smirked.
"Just watch out for the Yeti" I said, earning a pout from Asuna.
"Kazuto I´m not five years old" She mumbled "I know it doesn´t exist"
"Aww but why not?" I asked as I pouted back "I know you believed me that time in SAO, where we were walking through the forest of floor 22"
"Yeah, cause I knew basically nothing about the Cardinal system" She mumbled in a matter-of-fact tone "It could full well have been possible for the Cardinal system to create ghost images of the dead players"
"You´re no fun" I mumbled as I went into the bathroom and closed the door behind me.
"And you´re a pervert" I heard her reply before closing the door.
I chuckled softly and pulled off my clothes, throwing it in a corner before turning on the hot water. I slowly stepped inside and sighed of relaxation as the droplets of calming water hit my shoulders and ran down my body, washing me through and calming me down, almost to the point where I forgot all about time.
I sighed softly as I watched the last rays of day spill through the window outside the shower, painting the room and the ground a pleasant mix of orange and pink. I smiled softly as I applied soap to my hair, washing it thoroughly, before turning off the water and wrapping myself up in a towel, and putting on a t-shirt and underwear, heading out into the main room again to change into my outfit.
I took a quick peek over at Asuna as I entered the room, and she smiled over at me slightly.
She looked absolutely stunning, even without having put on her make-up yet. The white dress she had put on followed her body perfectly, revealing her shoulders and some of her back, and it followed the curves of her hips perfectly, leaving maybe half of it to the imagination. And my imagination was running wild at the moment.
"Well, someone seems happy to see me" She said with a smirk
She turned around and revealed her front, which again didn´t leave much to the imagination. Let´s just say it was very… Revealing, to say the least, showing off her curves even better at the front, and revealing a lot of her cleavage. I blushed a bit as I realized I had been staring the whole time, and quickly turned around to hide my embarrassed expression.
"Yeah, well, I'm always happy to see you" I mumbled, trying to save myself from embarrassment "What´s more important, what´s with that outfit? I didn´t think you would ever wear something so… Revealing"
"What you don´t like it?" She said teasefully "guess I'll put everything back then"
"No, no! That´s not what I mean!" I said surprised.
"Oh, so you do like it?" She said with a smirk "You´re so perverted"
She was just toy with me. She had total control of the situation, to my big regret.
"Shut up" I mumbled softly, an evident heat running onto my cheeks.
"Ha, now it´s my turn to tease you" She said with a smirk "Little Kazu-kun is embarrassed huh? Can´t let the chance go, now can I?"
"I have taught you too well" I say with a smirk as I change into my outfit.
I smile softly as I look at myself in the mirror.
"Hey, you´re looking good there handsome" Asuna mumbled as she wrapped arms around me from behind.
"Thanks, you´re beautiful as well Asuna" I mumbled as I stared at the happy couple that was staring back at us with happy expressions.
I actually did look good in that outfit. I had bought a white undershirt along with a dark jacket and black jeans, making it almost look like I was wearing a tuxedo. Under the jacket I was wearing a common black time, and I had set up my hair, which was someone I rarely had to do.
"We are so perfect together" Asuna mumbled as she kissed my shoulder "Your shoulders seem wider in it too"
"They do?" I mumbled softly "Didn´t even notice" I said with a smile "You ready for our date hun?"
"Yeah almost" She said with a smile "Just have to apply some make-up"
"I don´t think you need it though" I mumbled, hoping to get a blush from Asuna.
"Aww thanks Kazuto" She said as she kissed my cheek. "Give me ten minutes, and then I will be ready. I promise"
"Dang, I thought I could make you shy" I said with a smile.
I watched her walk to the bathroom, her hips swaying back and forth seductively as she looked back at me with a wink and a smile. I blushed a little and felt my heart skip a bit, which made Asuna giggle softly as she closed the bathroom door behind her.
"Tonight is going to be awesome" I said with a smile as I sat down.
I grew silent and began waiting for Asuna to finish her make-up, wondering how the night would turn out in the end.
~Outside the hotel room~
The figure outside the room had his ear pressed hardly onto the door, making sure not to miss anything from the young couple´s conversation. He frowned slightly as he removed his ear, irritated because of his predicament.
"Damn door," He mumbled softly "It´s way too thick to hear anything through."
He sighed softly and frowned softly as he looked at the door.
Do I need to put a cup towards it now?" he asked no one in particular, a certain sense of sarcasm in his voice.
"And my boss didn´t give me any equipment" He mumbled, getting more frustrated by the minute "I swear, sometimes I don´t know why I bother working for Mr. Nobuyuki"
He pinched his chin in wonder, plotting what he had to do.
Either he had to risk not listening in, and possibly lose the people he had to stalk in the village, or the other option, which was to poke his head inside the room so he at least could listen in on some of the conversation, and hopefully learn where they would be headed, so he always knew where he had to look for them.
"I don´t have a choice" He mumbled softly "Even if they DO see me I am much faster than the both of them"
He silently grabbed the doorknob and twisted.
"Damn. Locked" He mumbled with an unsatisfied growl "Lucky that I brought a lock pick"
He silently began working on the lock with the lock pick and smirked a bit as he easily unlocked the door.
"Ha, there´s not even electric security in this old place" He said victoriously "Now, to do what I actually came here to do"
He silently turned the doorknob and poked his face inside, listening as intensely as he possibly could to listen to the young couple´s conversation.
"I just wanted to know if it´s a fancy restaurant were going to tonight"
"I guess you can call it that, why?"
"Oh, just curious"
"Oh, so they´re going for dinner tonight huh?" The figure mumbled with a smirk "I can only think of one place that would be seen as fancy"
He smirked and chuckled softly as he pulled his pointy nose back out through the hall and disappeared down the hall with a smile.
He pulled out his walkie talkie and smirked as he called his boss.
"Mr. Nobuyuki sir" He whispered with a smirk "Mission accomplished. I know where they´re headed"
"Good work Shio" Sugou´s voice chimed "Don´t lose sight of them at all costs, and report to me if they suddenly decide to head home. I´ll speed up my plan if they do"
"Consider it done sir" The figure, apparently named Shio said as he closed the line.
"I wouldn´t work for that psycho," He mumbled with a regretful smirk "If he didn´t pay so well"
And with that he walked into the crowd of the lobby, and disappeared.
~back at the hotel room~
I smiled softly and kissed Asuna´s cheek as she let go of my waist. I put out my arm for her to link it with mine, and she immediately obliged, squeezing herself into me, getting as close to me as humanly possible. I smiled a bit as I kissed her forehead and looked into her eyes.
"You ready?" I asked softly.
"Of course" she mumbled back as she looked back at me with her wonderful smile.
"Then, put on your jacket and let´s go" I said with a smirk "It would be pretty cold to walk out there with bare shoulders and back right?"
"Oh so you did notice?" she asked as she went over to the closet to get her winter jacket "Pervert"
"You´re going to tease me all night aren´t you?" I asked as I sweatdropped and blushed.
"Yup, as much as I can" She answered with a giggle.
"Thought so," I said as I smiled at her "I don´t hate it though. It´s one of your cute sides"
She was standing with her back against me but I could still tell that a blush was creeping onto her cheeks, since she fell silent. I smiled a bit as soon as she had put on her jacket and lead her out of the hotel room, locking the door behind me with my door card.
~In the village~
I smiled a bit as I looked around me in wonder. The village was even more beautiful at night time, and still buzzing with life. Lights was glimmering all around me, and the small talk of hundreds of tourists was humming silently in the back of my head, creating a peaceful atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
When I looked over at Asuna, I noticed she was shivering, her gentle breath turning into ice crystals as she wrapped herself closer and closer to me for warmth. I smiled slightly and took off my own jacket, handing it to Asuna.
"Here" I said with a gentle smile "It might be a bit hard to wear two jackets, but at least it will keep you warm"
"Huh?" She asked surprised as I wrapped my jacket around her shoulders "Don´t you need this?"
"Nah, I'm fine" I said with a smirk "I´m plenty used to the cold, and my shirt is actually pretty thick. I´ll be fine"
"If you say so" She mumbled as a small smile was created on her lips.
She wrapped my jacket around her own as best as she could, sighing softly as it already began to help on her cold.
"Thanks Kazuto" She mumbled as she leaned in and planted a big kiss on my cheek.
I blushed a bit and smirked as I looked at her.
"If being gentle and romantic grants these kind of rewards," I said with a chuckle "I might stop teasing you from now on"
"There´s more where that came from, I´ll guarantee that" She said with a smirk.
I nodded softly and pulled her closer to me as we made our way through the village, and began seeing the restaurant in the distance.
~At the restaurant~
"A table for two please" Asuna said with a gentle smile at the receptionist in fluid english "Under the name, Yuuki"
"This way miss" The woman said with a bright smile as she led us inside.
The kind receptionist led us inside and smiled as two waiters came over and pulled out the seats for us.
'Damn, missed an opportunity to be romantic' I thought to myself 'I had planned to pull out the seat for Asuna. Oh well'
I smiled softly at the waiter as he pulled out my chair and I sat down politely, looking around as the waiters set everything up. They put two menu cards on the table, one in front of each of us, and a glass of water.
"Please, call a waiter when you´re ready to order" The waiter bowed and left us to ourselves.
I looked down at the at the menu card, and got lost in all the letters. I couldn´t understand a word. Everything was written in either Nepalese or English, and they both had strange letters I couldn´t understand at all.
"Uh Kazuto?" Asuna asked as she looked over at me "You need help?"
I blushed a little and gritted my teeth slightly in frustration as I stared down into the menu card.
"N-No.. I got this" I mumbled, embarrassed that I didn´t understand English
"Kazuto, this is difficult English names" Asuna said with a giggle "It´s no wonder you don´t understand it if you haven´t studied it yourself"
"Y-Yeah I guess that makes sense" I mumbled as I sighed "Ok, I´m coming over"
I stood up and brought over my menu card, handing it to Asuna and looking over her shoulder.
"Good boy" She said with a giggle as she took my menu card "It´s very fancy dishes too, so don´t beat yourself up over it"
"Yeah, ok" I mumbled "But I need to learn English in the future, if I want to develop my own games someday"
"I guess you will need to brush up on your English studies then" She said with a smile.
She then began to explain what all the different dishes was, what the consisted of, and what the different prices was.
"Hmm… " I mumbled, pondering my decisions "I´ll have that uhh, how do you say that… P-Pa-sta dish? Is that how it´s pronounced?"
"Almost, but you´ll get there" She said with a giggle "I think I'll have the same then"
I smiled and sat down at the opposite side of the table, looking over at my beautiful angel of a girlfriend as we began waiting for a waiter to come over and take our orders.
