"Where are we going now Kirito-kun?" Asuna asked as she and Kazuto walked out of the skating rink.

"You'll have to wait and see."

"Again!?"

"Yep, but at least this time, you only have to wait a few minutes."

"Well that's true…" She said as Kazuto took her hand to guide her to the next, place, involuntarily making her blush. They began going back to where the buildings were, passing the train station and towards a giant light brown building.

"What's in there?" Asuna asked as they approached with curiosity in her eyes.

"You know I'm not going to answer."

"You're no fun Kirito-kun." Asuna said as she puffed out her cheeks slightly, causing Kazuto so smile at her expression.

"You won't be saying that for long." He said as he opened the door to the building for Asuna. As they went in, they walked into a light green lobby. Before Asuna could look around to guess where they were, a cloth was waved in front of her eyes.

"Oh come on." She said as she looked at him.

"It's still a surprise." He said, making a pout form on her face as she tied the blindfold on her head for the second time that day. Kazuto took her hand once again to guide her. As they went deeper into the building, the temperature began to rise and the air had a strange smell considering it was winter.

'What is this place?' She thought as she slipped off her white jacket with Kazuto doing the same with his black one. He took her jacket to hold with his and moved her a few more feet.

"Okay… now you can take off the blindfold." Kazuto said to her. She untied the blindfold and almost let it drop to the ground at what she saw.

"Ki-Kirito-kun…" Asuna whispered as she looked around the spacious room, filled with many different types of greenery.

"H-How did you find this place?" Asuna asked as she looked around at the different plants. The flowers, the bushes, and the different trees spread around the room caught her attention automatically since they were impossible to see them in full bloom on the dead winter season.

"When I was checking for a skating rink I found this place and I just couldn't resist bringing you here since you can see this kind of stuff in the winter." he said as he saw the admiring look Asuna was giving to the nearby patch of roses. At first glance, Kazuto thought that they were normal roses beginning to bloom but he was wrong.

"I've never seen this type of rose up close before." Asuna said as she gazed closer at the red and white rose.

"Er… what kind is it?" Kazuto asked as he rubbed the back of his slightly since he was clueless in what it was.

"It's named the osiria rose. It's a rose that is somewhat rare since it had two colors mixed in it." Asuna said with a smile as she continued to gaze at the plant. Kazuto looked at the small plaque that was next to the flowers semi-hidden. He smiled as an idea popped into his mind at from words he read.

"Oh Kirito-kun! Look at the plant that is over there!" Asuna said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him to a different area. The flower there was a rare flower, rare enough that even Kazuto knew of it. It was somewhat white and had no leave, separated from the other flowers and the people as well by different fences and watched by cameras. The plaque next to the fence said that the flower was called the ghost orchid.

"It's so beautiful..."

"Well if you want it ..."he said while just slightly moving towards it.

"Kirito-kun!"

"Joking, joking." He said as he stood back and put his hands up in defense.

"You could get arrested!"

"I'm just joking!" he said again as Asuna glared at him once more before looking back at the flower. Kazuto sighed in relief and looked at the flower.

"I didn't know they existed in Japan…" he said.

"They normally don't. They come from the UK but they have been known to sometimes pop up in Japan and Russia."

"You really know allot about flowers, don't you?" he asked her, making her puff her chest in pride slightly.

"I've been interested in them since I was a kid so of course I'm going to know allot. Like you with computers." Asuna said, making Kazuto chuckle sheepishly.

"I'm not that into it…"

"Oh really? Suguha-chan told me about when you built a computer when you were little."

"Uh…" he didn't know how to respond as he hoped Suguha tripped later. Asuna smiled and took his hand in hers.

"Come on! There's more over there!" She said with a smile as she began to pull in in another part of the greenhouse.


"Wow… I've see these all of the time in the spring but it seems more beautiful in the winter time." Asuna said as she looked at the sakura tree with its pink petals swaying slightly in the warm wind of the room.

"They sure are," Kazuto responded but he was looking at Asuna's smiling face instead of the tree, "like you all the time." This automatically brought a blush to Asuna's face and she turned away from him to hide it. Kazuto finally realized what he had said after a few seconds.

"W-Wait, t-that didn't mean to come out right I mean… I think that but I just didn't mean to say it out loud and… um…" Kazuto was about to continue but Asuna put a finger to his lips to shut him up.

"I-It's okay… just don't stay that stuff i-in public…" she said as her face became redder.

"R-right… um can you wait for me here? I'm going to go to the bathroom fast."

"S-sure." She said as she gave him a quick kiss to his cheek before he left. Kazuto quickly walked to the gift shop of the greenhouse to get something for Asuna. He walked around in the aisles until he found the replica of the osiria rose.

'Asuna will love this… it even matches her.' He thought as he quickly bought it and walked back to Asuna who was still looking at the sakura tree. He put the replica in front of her face before she realized that he was there.

"For you." He said with a slight blush as he passed it into Asuna's hands.

"I-I… It's pretty…"

"I thought since you liked is much…"

"I love it." She said as she kissed his cheek again and smiled, making Kazuto smile as well. He grabbed her hand and interlaced it with his as they began to leave the greenhouse.
