"I wonder, does he know that you know he was part of SAO?" Asuna mussed.

Shino thought for a second. "I haven't told him that I know, so I don't think so. And he didn't see you at my apartment very long on our first date, so he could make the connection." She said.

"I think you should bring it up, and see if he tells you." Riza said. "And speaking of telling people things, I heard about how you asked Asuna for some advice a few days ago, so spill."

Shino immediately blushed. "So it went well?" Riza asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah." Shino said quietly.

"So, start talking." Riza pressed.

Shino looked down and stuffed her hands in her pockets. "Or, we can invite all the SAO players that we know to a party, convince him to show up, and then corner and interrogate him." Asuna suggested, the dangerous glint in her eyes promising to do exactly what she said.

Shino was quick to raise her hands in surrender, "That's okay, I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

Riza grinned maliciously, "Did you two kiss?"

Shino's blush was back. "Yeah."

"Just once?"

"No." her cheeks were hidden by her hands.

"How many times?"

Shino didn't answer immediately, but Riza was patient. "Come on, we don't have all day." She pressed.

"A lot." Shino said.

Asuna finally spoke up to Shino's relief, but it quickly faded. "Tongue?" She asked with genuine curiosity.

Shino had her entire face covered from embarrassment. She looked up when she heard some beeping noises. Asuna was holding Shino's phone up to her ear. Shino panicked immediately as Asuna said, "Yes, Isaiah? This in one of Shino's friends, and I have a few questions as to what went on a few days ago."

Shino leapt up to grab the phone, but Riza tackled her. "Fine, yes! Yes there was tongue!" Shino yelled.

"Sorry, but something just came up, I'll have Shino call you later." Asuna said quickly before hanging up.

Shino quickly took her phone and hide it behind her. She was unprepared for the next question from Riza. "Was it good?"

Shino blushed again. "…Yeah, it was."

"What happened after?"

"We cuddled. He said something about how we should have more movie nights." Shino said thoughtfully, trying to recall his exact words. "I can't remember what he said exactly, I was kind of out of it."

"Well, we were planning a movie night soon, so why doesn't he come? I mean, only Suguha and Keiko have met him, and he briefly saw me. And it would be nice. You should probably ask him about Sword Art Online before that, but we could all meet him if you do." Asuna said.

Shino put a single finger up to her chin. "I guess it would be kind of fun. Maybe I should." She wondered quietly. "Fine, I'll ask him."

"Great." Asuna said brightly.

"Make sure you two keep your hands to yourselves. I don't want to see any kissing." Riza warned.

Asuna: Muahahahahahaha

Riza: why you gotta make everyone against me.
