Chapter 8:
Kazuto outlined Asuna's face in the with his hand, careful to barely touch her. This was a rare moment. They hadn't slept together since Sword Art Online, and back in the game she had always somehow timed it so that no matter what she woke up before him. His other hand supported his head as he watched her, not able to control the smile which graced his lips. The light through his curtain shimmered perfectly upon her face. The curtain let in just the right amount of light to illuminate her, but not bother her in sleep.
Barely keeping his voice from trembling he whispered, "I'm sorry, Asuna..." He didn't get to finis his sentence because at that moment Asuna stirred, and Kazuto jumped back in surprise, falling off the bed with bang.
He stammered, "O-Ohayou Asuna..."
"Ohayou Kazuto..."Asuna answered, letting a small yawn that sounded similar to to Yui's; strangely majestic and tinkling almost like bells.
"When are we going over to Dicey Cafe?"she asked as Kazuto crawled up from the floor and flopped back onto the bed beside her. Kazuto had one thought, and only felt relief. So she didn't hear me.
Kazuto's stomach rumbled right on cue as he answered, "Right after eating breakfast."
Asuna smiled and shook her head. "I'll cook."
Kazuto let out a whoop and a grin plastered his face as he jumped off the bed, grabbing fresh clothes from his drawers, rushing down the hallway to the bathroom to change from the random clothes he had gotten from the floor after Asuna had knocked on his door. One of Kazuto's favorite things other than her cooking in VRMMOs, was her cooking in real life which was equally as good.
Just before they left the house, Kazuto stepped into the master bedroom of the house to find Midori staring out into space. Placing the tray on her lap, Kazuto looked at her for a while for a response before sighing, "Asuna said this was for you."
Then turning on his heel, Kazuto headed for the door. Out of nowhere Midori said from behind, "She's a good girl. Is she the one you've been spending all your time with since Sword Art Online?"
Kazuto whipped around, blush exploding on his face. Midori stared straight at him, her eyes now focused, an amused smirk on her lips that reassured him she was teasing. Kazuto opened his mouth and then closed it and repeated the cycle two more times before deciding to focus on the first sentence. His answer was, "Yeah...I guess."
Midori raised her eyebrow at that. Once again Kazuto ignored her. He continued, "Asuna is so much more than that -... I don't know how to explain."
Midori stared at him for a long while. Studying him as she never had before. Then she leaned back in her pillows and told him, "You have a knack for getting into weird situations. But if I'm reading Asuna right, she's most scared of you going somewhere she can't."
Kazuto shrugged, dismissing this odd tidbit of advice as a result of sadness over Minetaka, gave Midori a kiss on the cheek, and walked out of the room.
A while later, Kazuto and Asuna stepped pushed the creaky door of Dicey Cafe aside and stepped into the musty smelling room, that was empty except for one large man behind the bar, and a man who wasn't quite skinny, and most definitely was not fat.
"Still as empty as always?"Kazuto asked teasingly as he and Asuna approached the bar.
Agil rolled his eyes in answer instead and set down a glass in front of each of them. Thinker's was a glass of red wine, our main characters received ice tea.
Thinker turned to them with his glass of wine in hand and asked, "So what do you think of us being CEOs Kirito?"
"It's a nice idea to try. But I will resign at the end of this month, and donate all the money I have to charity. I really don't wanna spend my life being a business man,"Kazuto answered. A grin spread on his face as he said the last sentence.
Thinker gave a shrug, "Sure."
He stuck out his hand, and shook Kazuto's, then Asuna's. "You guys have any idea how you're going to make a bunch of money?"Thinker asked as he turned his attention back to his glass of wine.
"Actually... yes. Since World Tree quest got removed, the action in ALO has died down a lot. People don't have to be as active anymore to keep their place above another race. I think it's time to add a chance to be an Alf again. This time we won't tell anyone what being an Alf really is. We can just let them think that it is a really good. We can limit it to one party entering at a time,"Kazuto explained.
"Meaning you're going to put the races at war again, for a reward that isn't even worth it?"Agil asked as he wiped another of the many wine and beer glasses.
"That's a great idea!"Thinker exclaimed.
"Really? It sounds more like tricking people into war to me,"Asuna told them.
Thinker argued, "Virtual reality is about making what is virtual into a reality. That's what we're doing!"
"It's a good business idea, but like Kazuto I don't like being a business person,"Asuna replied.
"Then it's settled. I'll call the Admins of ALO over to formally introduce them to their new HQ, and to us, then we can tell them Kirito's idea,"Thinker said.
A/N: I have tried to make the dialogue closer to what they usually say, and type my paragraphs in correct form. However, I wanted to tell you guys now that it is quite obvious this fanfiction will only take up the span of time of one month, that I tried to make this fanfiction so that you could imagine it between Ordinal Scale and Light Novel 10 or after Light Novel 18, but I really don't know because I haven't gotten to Light Novel 9 yet to be honest. I also have to wait for the translations to come out because I unfortunately can't read Japanese. I may try to learn someday, but for now I will stick to English. I apologize for the shortness of this of this. Unfortunately the length of this does not make my writing good. I am still ashamed... maybe I shouldn't have written this.
