Kirito and Yui ate the cookies ravenously, the sweet flavor replacing the spiciness of the previous treat and filling their mouth with the sticky feeling of the honey in their mouth, making a smile form on both of their faces.

"It's so good!" Yui said to Asuna as she took another bite of her cookie. Asuna smiled at her daughter and patted her head.

"I'm glad you like it so much!"

"How could she not? They are so good!" Kirito said with a dreamlike expression as he swallowed the rest of his cookie before reaching for another one from the table.

"Y-You always like my cooking…"

"Because it's heavenly!" He said, the look in his eyes showing how that was his honest opinion. Asuna blushed as he said that with the truthful tone in his voice and turned her head away to prevent him from seeing her blush.

"I-It's not…" She said before drinking her tea as she hoped that the heat in her cheeks would disperse fast before Kirito noticed it.

"Well we think it is." Kirito said as he drank some of his tea with Yui nodded in agreement, a huge smile on her face as she did.

"Guess I can't help it if Yui-chan agrees!" Asuna said as she hugged her daughter, making the younger girl laugh as she felt her mother's arms around her. Asuna's eyes darted to the corner of her vision and saw the time was nearing 13:30 (1:30) making her wish they could spend more time with their daughter and leave her alone. Kirito knew that she was thinking by the look on her face and couldn't help but agree since he felt the same way.

"Sorry Yui but I think we'll have to leave now, But I promise we will be back soon!" Kirito said as he ruffled his daughter's hair, making her laugh again.

"Okay! I'll see you next time you log in Papa, Mama!" Yui said as she smiled again. The couple got up and hugged their daughter before opening their menus. They waved goodbye to Yui and pressed to log out button.


They both opened their eyes to the white ceiling in Asuna's room, sitting up as they got used to being back in their body after diving. Asuna giggled slightly as she saw Kazuto's hair, the back of it sticking up from where the amusphere had messed it up.

"W-What?" He asked, unknowing of what she was laughing at. Asuna moved her hand to the back of his head and fixed his hair as she was still laughing, making Kazuto blush from the sudden contact she did.

"A-Ah, thanks…" he said as he noticed it was about his hair. Asuna notice his blush and couldn't help but blush herself since she hadn't noticed how close they were.

"R-Right! W-We should go down stairs before my father gets home so… stuff aren't assumed…" she said with her face turning more red with Kazuto's blush darkening as well. They both got up and headed down the stairs, Asuna going to the kitchen to make some tea as Kazuto sat in the living room, hoping that Asuna's mother didn't come in with her father.

'That would be a REALLY bad way to end today… he thought as Asuna walked back into the room with a tray full of tea, Asuna passing him one of the cup.

"So when is your dad getting here?" he asked as he took a sip of his tea, the steam coming off warming his upper lip slightly.

"He should come-" she was cut off by the sound of a car parking in the driveway of the house and the closing of the car door, "I guess now." She said, making Kazuto choke on his drink slightly.

"G-Guess we logged out in time." he said as he nervously drummed his fingers on the table.

"... Kirito-kun, are you nervous?" Asuna asked as he noticed his behavior.

"What? No! Of course not!" he said in a voice that sounded completely unconvincing to Asuna.

"You and my father are on good terms!"

"I know! But I can't help but be nervous that your mom might be with him…"

"Don't worry! My mom shouldn't be with him! She should still be working on the few files that she has before she's finished with work for the holidays." She said to reassure him. He was about to reply but the door to the house opened.

"I'm home." They heard Asuna's father say from the entrance.

"Welcome back." Asuna said as she placed another cup of tea at the head of the table before getting up to greet her father, Kazuto also getting up.

"Asuna! I didn't think you'd be here so early!" Shouzou said as he walked into the room, "And Kirigaya-kun! Nice to see you around here!" he said with a smile.

"It's nice to see you too Yuuki-san." Kazuto said as Asuna hugged her father.

"I've said it before, drop the formalities. Just call me Shouzou!" he said, making Kazuto's nervousness finally drop since his wife wasn't with him.

"R-Right…" he said as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. They all sat down at the table, Shouzou thanking his daughter for the tea by calling her an angel.

'That she is.' Kazuto thought as he drank his tea with a small smile from Asuna blush from the praise coming from her father.
