A/N: Let us all take a moment of silence for the birthday of our hero and protagonist of my favorite anime, Kazuto! Today is his birthday! Yay! And more news! The third video game now has a name! The new game shall be called Sword Art Online: Lost Song and it takes place in ALO! WE CAN FLY! FINALLY! NOW WE NEED A GGO ONE! MORE NEWS BUT I'LL SAY AT THE BOTTOM.


As the movie played out in front of the couple, the sky outside got darker as it got closer to night. The movie, which was a romantic comedy to Asuna's relief, was pretty much ignored by Kazuto since he couldn't stop smiling at the beautiful girl that he was holding in his arms.

'It's times like this that I'm the luckiest guy in the world.' he thought as he put his head on Asuna's shoulder, making the long-haired girl blush.

"K-Kirito-kun…"

"Yes?" he asked as he smiling more at her actions, her cheeks flushed red with the nervous tone in her voice.

"N-Nothing…" she said as she leaned back to be closer to him, a small smile accompanying the blush on her face. Kazuto couldn't help but blush this time since she had actually moved closer, and he hoped that she couldn't hear how fast his heart rate was racing in his chest. At this moment, Asuna was thinking the same thing.

'H-He can't hear my heartbeat, right?' she thought to herself as she felt Kazuto's arms wrapped slightly tighter around her waist, making her face redden more.

'If only we could stay like this forever...' Asuna thought as she intertwined her fingers with Kazuto's. They stayed like that for a while as the movie continued to play, the snow falling slowly outside the window.

Asuna's breaths started to become slower in Kazuto's arms, slow enough that he looked at her face and saw that her eyes were closed and her mouth was opened slightly, the blush still on her face.

'S-She fell asleep? Well I guess she did tire herself out today with this morning...' he thought as he smiled again and leaned her more on him so that she was more comfortable, the back of her head now on his shoulder. He moved her hair out of her face slightly and saw how she smiled a bit in her sleep.

'Just how cute can she get!?' he thought to himself as he blushed, looking away for a bit before looking back at her, the light in the room making her look even more beautiful to him. He grabbed the blanket that was on the couch and covered Asuna in it.

'Scratch world, I'm the luckiest guy in the whole universe.' he thought as he put his head back on the couch as he grinned to himself. As he did, he got a glimpse of the giant old-style clock that was in the living room with 16:00 (4:00pm) with being shown on it.

'Three hours until Asuna's mom comes home… will she get up before then?' he thought to himself before feeling a squeeze on his hand. He looked to back up and saw that Asuna was holding his hand a bit tighter with her eyebrows scrunched together a bit. Kazuto didn't like how she was like that in her sleep so he hugged her a bit tighter, hoping that whatever she was dreaming of disappeared even if just a bit. Asuna turned slightly and hugged Kazuto by his waist, making him happy but surprised at the sudden action. He hugged her again and put one of his hands on her head, smoothing the hair slightly.

'If only time could freeze...' He thought before he looked back down at Asuna just as she poked his cheek, making his jump.

"Y-You were you awake!?" he asked as a heavy blush formed on his face.

"Not at first… I woke up when you put the quilt on me… I thought I'd mess with you for a bit since you always mess with me but," she kissed his cheek before continuing, "you acted very sweet." Kazuto blushed more but jumped again when he heard another door open. Asuna quickly separated from him and turned to look where the sound had come from and saw her father walking from his office, stretching his arms a bit.

"Asuna, I thought I'd let you know that your mom said she was going to come a bit earlier than expected." he said as he served himself more tea, making Kazuto immediately shudder slightly.

"How much earlier?" Asuna said, hoping that she could stay a bit more time with Kazuto before he had to leave.

"She said… In an hour? More or less. She had less work to do since most people are leaving for vacations." he said before taking a sip of his tea and walking away back to his office. Asuna sighed since she knew that the time was too vague to have Kazuto remain here for more time.

Kazuto felt the same since he just wanted to stay with her.

'Then again, I'd prefer not to be killed by her mother by a single glance' he thought as he shuddered again slightly.

They both reluctantly stood up from the couch and walked to the entrance of the house, Kazuto putting on his shoes to leave.

"If you want, next time we can spend the day at my house." he said, making her smile and nod.

"Sure! But only if it's okay with your mom."

"Are you kidding? She loves you. You could just walk in and she wouldn't say anything."

"I-I doubt that…" She said, flustered. Kazuto put on his jacket and he knew that he had to leave now. Asuna blushed more but she leaned in just as Kazuto did and kissed him, her surrounding fading away for a few seconds before they separated.

"I'll call you later." Kazuto said with a smile as he opened her door. Asuna waved goodbye as he closed the door and walked away. She sat back on the couch in the living room, covering herself with the quilt that Kazuto had covered her in as she saw the end credits of the movie pass on the television. Kazuto was walking to the train station to go home, thinking the same thing as Asuna again.

'I wish we could stay together if for just a little more time.'


A/N: Okay so in case you didn't already know, for the next arc (which is Caliber and Mother Rosario!) the opening is being sung by Asuna's voice actress Haruka Tomatsu! With an ending theme by LiSA! This got me so happy when I found out! It's like season one's first arc but backwards! *screaming/squealing from happiness* I can't wait for them now! I shall now sleep before I fangirl more.
