A/N: I'm still having too much fun writing this. Also I noticed that I forgot to put the disclaimer in the last chapter but we all know that that I don't own Sword Art Online… If I did, I probably wouldn't be writing this… I would be overseeing the making of season 2… ANYWAY, I hope you enjoy reading this!

After logging out, Asuna and Kazuto readied themselves and left their respective homes, heading to Andrew's café. They both met each other in front of the train station that was near the café in their winter gear to be protected from the cold and the surrounding snow.

"Kirito-kun, are you going to tell me what we're going to do tomorrow?" Asuna asked him as they walked to the café hand in hand, since Kazuto had yet to tell her for almost 3 days.

"Nope, I want it to be a surprise." He said as he smiled at imagining the excited childlike smile Asuna will have tomorrow. She simple pouted at hearing his words but accepted this for she knew that he wouldn't tell her straight out.

"Fine, as long as it isn't something scary or along those lines, then its fine." She said in defeat. Kazuto merely nodded, knowing she had the right to be suspicious since he hadn't said a single word regarding where they were heading the next day.

"I can assure you it isn't. I don't need what happened last time to happened again." He said, making Asuna shudder slightly for she knew what he meant.

"Another reason not to trust Liz…"

"Eh? There's different reason?" Kazuto asked, making Asuna blush since she had never told him about that out of embarrassment.

"I-I-It's nothing! Nothing at all! A-anyways, were here!" Asuna said as she ran off ahead to the door of the café, leaving behind a confused Kazuto. He quickly caught up to her and opened the door of the café for her. They both quickly settled in at a table in the back of the café, away from the entrance and all of the other people, sitting opposite of each other.

"How about a hint?" she asked Kazuto, hoping that maybe asking constant questions will break him, causing to tell what they were doing tomorrow.

"Not a chance."

"Please? I'll make you a lot of sandwiches if you do."

"As tempting as that sounds, no."

"Aw, you're no fun Kirito-kun." Asuna said as she finally gave up on the topic. Kazuto grinned in victory but decided to at least tell her one thing.

"I'll tell you this; make sure you dress up properly against the cold for tomorrow." He said, smirking for how he could see the gears turning in Asuna's head at the possibility of what those words could mean.

'I have to dress up warm anyway, it winter… does he mean even more? What could he be planning?' Asuna thought with her eyebrows furrowed in thought, making Kazuto blush slightly at thinking that she looks adorable doing that face. The sound of heavy footsteps caused the couple to stop what they were doing and looked over to the sound, seeing the friend they had seen a while ago in ALO before them.

"Well, you guys don't waste time to see each other." Andrew said to the couple, making both of them blush. Andrew smiled and quickly asked them what they would like to drink.

"Hot chocolate." was the answer they both gave at the same time, causing them to blush even more. Andrew quickly turned to go and get them their drinks with a smile on his face.

"Great minds think alike right?" Kazuto said to break the awkwardness at the table.

"Yeah I guess that's…" Asuna could no longer continue her sentence for she saw something that couldn't help bring a smile to her face. Kazuto quickly showed a confused expression, wondering what had made her stop speaking in the middle of her sentence.

"Asuna, what's wrong?" Asuna moved her hand across the table and put it on the side of Kazuto's head, moving it to the right to look behind him. He moved his head the rest of the way and saw what Asuna had seen. Before their eyes were Suguha and Nagata Shinichi on a table not too far from them, talking and laughing together.

"Looks like they had that talk after all, right?" Asuna said with another smile as she saw the smiles on their faces and that they were now holding hands over the table. Kazuto smiled as well but he also felt that overprotective felling come over him.

"Looks like it. Didn't expect it to happen that fast."

"Same here, I thought it would take a few day but I guess something's can't be easily predicted."

"Your right… I'll need to have a talk with him later…"

"What kind of talk are you going to give him, Kirito-kun?"

"The talk to not to mess with my sister less he want something bad to happen." Kazuto said as he could see the kind of things that Suguha would do if he did something to her, all involving her kendo skills. Asuna panicked slightly from the devious glint in his eyes.

"Y-you're not going to do anything really bad, right?"

"What? No! Not me! Sugu is the one that's going to beat him!" he said in his defense as Asuna's facial features relaxed at realizing what he meant. Then a question came to mind.

"Why would she beat him up?"

"Are you kidding? She was a kendo national quarter-finalist! She would beat him up so bad with her shinai that it would take YEARS for him to recover!" he said as he tried to explain to the girl in front of him. Asuna nodded, getting at what he meant.

"Still, I think Suguha-chan would talk it out instead of beating him."

"I know but I need to give him the warning of the beating so he thinks twice about what he does to her."

"I didn't know Kirito-kun was so overprotective." Asuna said with a playful smile. Kazuto went along with it.

"You should know Asuna. I'm always overprotective over you so you should know from experience." Kazuto said, bringing a blush on her face almost instantly. Asuna was about to retort but Andrew came by with their hot chocolate.

"Here you go guys."

"Thanks Agil. When did my sister and Recon get her?" he asked to the owner of the café.

"Maybe… about 10 minutes ago? They got here just as I walked downstairs after logging out." Andrew said before he went to attend to the other customers. The couple began to drink their chocolate and to see the two people a few tables away. When they finished their drinks, Asuna quickly put her hand on Kazuto's, still warm from the drink.

"Maybe we should leave before they notice us. That way Suguha-chan won't think that you're being overprotective right now and that we were spying."

"That's a good idea but I'm not being overprotective yet and technically we were spying-"

"Let's just go before they notice you rambling."

"Right, let's go." They quickly stood up from the table, leaving the money for their drinks and quickly saying farewell to Andrew before opening the door and leaving the café, hand in hand into the falling snow

"So what are we doing now Kirito-kun?"
