The next day, Monday December 15, 2025. Kirigaya residence

Kazuto opened his eyes early the next morning to the sound of the alarm of his phone, which he had set last night to wake him up at 8 a.m. in preparation for today.

'Today, I'm going to make sure that Asuna has an amazing day.' he thought as he quickly got himself ready for the day before sending Asuna a quick text message and smiling at the reply. As he went down the stairs in his usual attire of a thick black long-sleeved shirt and black trousers, he could hear Suguha and his mother Midori talking in the kitchen.

"Even though you woke up late, you're sleepy." Midori said to the Suguha who had her head down on the table and gave an aura of drowsiness.

"Give me a break Oka-san, I'm on winter vacation." she said in response, her voice filled with the same lethargy that her body showed.

"What about you kendo exercises?"

"…"

"God you're hopeless sometimes." Kazuto said as he sat down next to her at the table. He poked her cheek in the attempt to reanimate her.

"Even Kazuto is up and ready! Will you help me?" Midori pleaded her son as she gestured to her daughter.

"Say no more," he quickly moved near Suguha's ear and whispered, "If you don't get up, I'll bring your boyfriend and he'll see you like this." The response he got was almost automatic as she sat up and looked at her brother with fury.

"You wouldn't dare..."

"How much are you willing to bet?" To this Suguha had no response for she knew her brother was capable of allot. Midori quickly mouthed a thank you to Kazuto before walking to the living room to drink her tea.

"So why are you tired? Didn't you go to bed before me?" Kazuto asked before he took he began to devourer down his breakfast.

"Well... I was talking to Nagata-kun last night..."

"Oh really? For how long?"

"… maybe... an hour and a half?" As she said that, Kazuto almost choked on the orange juice that he was drinking.

'I really need to talk to that guy...' he thought as he saw the time, 8:37, on his phone and took one last bite of his food and drank the last of the orange juice before getting up and put his wallet and phone in his pockets.

"Well don't overdo it. Anyway, I have to go."

"Where are you going?" Suguha asked to which she got a huge grin from Kazuto.

"I'm going on a date!" he said as he put on his jacket and shoes and left house, leaving Suguha thinking how hopelessly in love he was before putting her head back down on the table.

Yuuki residence

Asuna awoke to the sunlight, seeping through the blinds on her window, hitting her eyes. She automatically covered her head with her comforter and closed her eyes tightly, the movement turning on lights in her room automatically.

"Ugh… makes me wish I still had my old lighting system." She said as she sat up and stretched her arms up. Her eyes caught the red numbers on clock on her nightstand and saw that it was 8:15.

'I should get ready… I need to make those sandwiches for Kirito-kun too…' she thought with a smile as she finally stood up from the bed and immediately shivered.

'Ah jeez it's cold…' Asuna thought as she quickly walked across the red carpet and turned up the heat. Quickly changing from the white nightgown she was wearing into a thick light pink skirt, a red button-down shirt and thick white sweater with thick light gray stockings, she closed the door to her room, making the lights automatically turn off as she made her was downstairs. Since her mother had already gone to work as well her father, the house was quiet as she walked to the kitchen. Her phone vibrated and gave off a slight sound as she received a message.

'I'll be there to pick you up at 9:00 okay? -Kirito' Asuna quickly began to write the reply to him.

'Okay and I hope you have a healthy appetite for later!' she sent the message and put the phone in her skirt pocket as walked into the kitchen. Taking out the ingredients for the sandwiches from the refrigerator and the pantry, she had the thought of making something else as she put on her apron.

'I think I have some time to make something else for him…' she thought as she took out some extra ingredients from the refrigerator. She quickly began to make mix the ingredients together and put them in the oven.

"Good! Now to get started on the sandwiches!" she said as she closed the door to the oven and moved to the counter and began to make the sandwiches. Asuna quickly glanced at the clock and saw that the time was 8:45, 15 minutes before Kazuto said that he would arrive to leave to the surprise and 10 minutes since she put her extra dish in the oven. She quickly got the dish out of the oven, turning it off after closing the door to it, and placed it on the counter next to the freshly prepared sandwiches.

'And with extra time to spare!' she thought as she put the dish to cool down in the refrigerator and began to pack the sandwiches in the light brown basket she often used in her dates with Kazuto.

After another 10 minutes, Asuna took out the dish from the refrigerator and began to pack it in the basket, hidden from view under the sandwiches. She immediately thought that it was perfect and began to clean up the kitchen and put away the remaining ingredients back in their place. Just as she finished washing her hands in the kitchen sink, she heard the doorbell, making her heart beat with anticipation at seeing Kazuto. She dried her hands fast and went to open the door to see a slightly snow-covered Kazuto standing there with a grin on his face.

"Are you ready to go?" Kazuto asked, making Asuna nod energetically.

"Yeah just let me get my jacket and the basket and we can leave." She said as she turned and quickly went to get the basket. Asuna handed the basket to Kazuto as she put on her white winter jacket and put on her dark brown shoes. Closing the door, she turned to Kazuto with a smile on her face

"Let's get going!"

A/N: SANDWICH-SAN! Sorry that was all I was thinking the while time I was writing this… ANYWAY, I'll see you next week!
