Hey guys! This is a new story that is completely made up! Thanks!

You and Kazuto Kirigaya were currently 6 years old, and were the best of friends. Your parents met a long time ago and you were practically by each other when you were born. The two of you vowed to never be apart, but of course, you never thought it was gonna change. Until now.

*Flashback*

The two of you ran through the streets, hand in hand. It was Christmas, and you discovered a really pretty spot on the beach you just had to show your friend Kazuto. Kazuto laughed as you dragged him along, clueless about where you were taking him. You stopped, looking around the sandy shore. Kazuto gasped, smiling at the sunset. The sun cast an evening glow over the sparkling azure waters and the soft sandy beach.

"Wow! This place is great!" Kazuto squealed, jumping around.

You nodded. "Yeah, isn't it great? I thought this was gonna be the best place to exchange gifts! So, here!"

You hand him a black wrapped box, eagerly waiting for Kazuto to open it. He opened it with anticipation, and wasn't let down. Inside was a pair of black fingerless gloves, ones that could stretch and always fit no matter how much you grew. Since black was Kazuto's favorite color of all time, you thought it would be perfect.

"I love it! Thanks, (N/n)!" Kazuto smiled happily.

You pumped your fists into the air, and Kazuto laughed.

"Oh yeah, I made up a nickname for you! It's Kirito!" You said, anxiously hoping your friend liked it.

"Cool! Now we're (N/n) and Kirito!" Kirito grinned, and you cheered. "Here, this one's for you!"

He handed you a (f/c) wrapped box, and you opened it excitedly. Inside nestled a beautiful necklace and sword charm bracelet set. They were both lockets, and you opened the little sword on the necklace and there was a picture of you and Kirito, hugging each other.

"I love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" You said, hugging him tightly.

He smiled faintly, looking at the photo. "Hey, (Y/n)..."

You stopped. Kirito never called you by your first name unless it was important.

"Are we….always gonna be best friends?" He asked, trying not to cry.

Your heart felt like shattering into a million pieces, and you grabbed his hands.

"Of course! I can never live without you!" You exclaimed.

"Yeah! I promise to never leave your side, you promise?" Kirito stuck out a pinky finger.

You grinned cheekily and linked your finger with his, pinky promising your vow. You never took the jewelry set off after that….

*End of Flashback*

You hurriedly grabbed your books, thudding downstairs. Grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl, you opened the door to reveal Kirito in his winter jacket. It was currently winter in Japan, and it was snowing lightly. You closed the door behind you and locked it, turning to meet your best friend and crush.

"Come on (N/n), we're gonna be late!" Kirito said, linking his hand with yours.

You rolled your eyes, quickening your pace. Opening the door to your homeroom, you and Kirito sat down in your seats, which were right next to each other. Just then, your homeroom teacher opened the door and walked in, a girl about your age trailing in after her. Murmurs rippled through the classroom as you examined her. She seemed cool.

"Everyone, welcome Asuna Yuuki to the class!" Your teacher said enthusiastically.

Everyone chorused 'hello's to her and she smiled, blushing at the attention. Judging by her clothes, you could tell she was wealthy. The teacher pointed to the seat behind you, and Asuna made her way over to you. You grinned and waved confidently, and she took her seat, smiling at you.

"Hey! I'm (Y/n) (L/n), and this here's Kazuto Kirigaya!" You gave her a cute closed eye smile, and glanced at Kirito.

He was blushing at Asuna, his eyes glued to her. You felt a pang of hurt strike your stomach and you nervously twiddled with your bracelet. Whenever you were nervous or hurt, you always played with your locket and everything seemed to feel better. But for some reason it wasn't working.

Kirito blushed and stuck out a gloved hand. "N-nice to meet you...you can c-call me Kirito, that's what my friends call me."

Your heart flared with hurt, emotions surging through your veins. How could he say that? No one but you were allowed to call him Kirito. How could he allow someone else to call him that?

Asuna smiled, pink dusting her perfect cheeks. "Nice to meet you, Kirito-kun. I hope we'll be good friends."

She put a bit of emphasis on 'good friend', and you clenched your hands.

~~~Time Skip~~~

After homeroom, you wouldn't speak or look at Kirito, avoiding him and his love interest at all costs. The bell rang, and you instantly got up, packing your bag with your books. Kirito didn't seem to notice you, and you held back tears as you hurried down the hall, running out the door. You ran back to your house, fumbling with the keys. Finally opening the door, you slammed the door and ran the your room, letting out your tears. After your crying session, you headed down to the kitchen and noticed a slip of paper.

~~~The Note~~~

Dear (Y/n),

It's Mom and Dad. We're going on a business trip for a week. Food is in the fridge, and if you need anything call us. Love you!

You sighed, slipping the piece of paper back into the drawer. A week without your mom for advice. Argh, why are boys so frustrating? You sat on your bed, opening the little sword charm on your bracelet. You smiled, admiring the picture of you and Kirito. You wished the two of you would stay together forever. He promised, after all. But maybe….That promise was meant to be broken.

Yay~ Thanks for your support! Do you like it? Please review and see you next chappy!
