"Kirito-kun." Asuna said as she say that Kazuto was alone, having gone upstairs to his room when Sugu received a phone call from her boyfriend.

"Y-Yes?"

"I thought you said that you would get home BEFORE it starts!" She said, followed by a pout that couldn't help but make kazuto blush slightly.

"I-I tried you know I honestly tried but um… It's started snowing..." He said, rubbing the back of his head as he chuckled sheepishly. Asuna sighed at him when she heard that but looked back at him.

"At least you got back before the actual storm started." She said, making Kazuto relieved that she hadn't lectured her or something along those lines.

"In that I made sure since I didn't want to worry you…" he said, bringing a blush out of her.

"Good… I don't want you to get sick or hurt…" Asuna said as she tried to bring down her blush but resulting in only getting more flustered.

'Does she do this on purpose!?' Kazuto thought as he saw her growing blush form on her face. He pushed the thought to the back of his mind as Asuna moved on to a different subject.

"A-Anyway!" She cleared her throat before continuing, "I have to ask you something about what Argo told me earlier."

"If she told you anything embarrassing, I swear it's a lie!" he said automatically to her. Asuna raised her eyebrow at this since this meant that Argo knew more stuff like that.

"What do you think she told me?" she asked in a teasing tone, wanting to see what else she could get out of him.

"... S-She didn't tell you about that quest from the 5th floor did she?" he asked with a panicky voice, trembling slightly. This got Asuna's interest since he said a lower floor.

"You've been embarrassing yourself since the beginning?"

"Okay god… she didn't…" he said as he made a sigh in relief.

"Are you going to tell me what happened on that floor?" Asuna asked as she made a pleading look on her face to make him tell her. Kazuto was tempted to tell her from the adorable look she made, but her knew that she mustn't know that. He shook his head as his response.

"Shoot… I was hoping you would… You're no fun Kirito-kun."

"I have to remain with the dignity I have left…" he said to himself, Asuna still hearing and having to suppress her laughter at the face that Kazuto had on.

'He looks like a cute kicked puppy..' she thought as she struggled to not laugh since they were still video chatting.

"I know you heard, go ahead and laugh." He said as he leaned back and laid on the bed, not taking his eyes off his girlfriend on the phone screen. Asuna tried to hold in her laughter but as soon as he said that she laughed, tears clinging to the edge of her eyes as her cheeks flushed red again.

'I take it back, no one can be that adorable on purpose.' he thought as looked at her face.

"S-Sorry.." she said as she was trying to stop laughing, "Kirito-kun."

"I-It's fine just don't ask Argo about that… W-Wait, what DID she tell you!?" he thought as he realized that she never told him about what Argo had actually told her.

"She told me of the time you tried to climb a tree to get to the next floor on the 22nd floor." Asuna said, making the color slightly drain from his face.

"I was afraid it was that…"

"Was this before or after you attempted to climb the outer pillars?"

"B-Before…" He said as his face regained color but only in his cheeks. Asuna laughed more and he thought that the embarrassment was worth it considering how cute she looked. On Asuna's side of the phone, a knock on the door could be heard.

"Asuna, can you open the door?" it was her mother, making Asuna looked at Kazuto.

"We can talk later if you want." Kazuto whispered with a grin. Asuna nodded as she blushed she got up from where she was on her bed and waved good bye to him before hanging up to answer the door of her room.

Kazuto sighed as he say the call end words on the screen and moved to put his phone on his desk, next to where its charger was at. He heard a knock on his door after doing so and went to open it, Sugu on the other side.

"Onii-chan, I was wondering if you would do me a favor…" she said as she did a pleading look.

"And now I'm scared of where this is going." he said, receiving a small hit on his arm from her.

"It's not like you're going to die or anything!"

"Depends on what the favor is." He said with a questioning look.

"Since we have nothing to do... Would you help me with my kendo?" She said with a big smile as she held her hands in a begging motion.

"Hmm... Brain damage or spend my time on the Internet..." He said, making Sugu glare at him slightly.

"Onii-chan!" Sugu said as she pouted at him, making him laugh.

"Alright, alright, I'll help." He said as he closed the door to his room, turning off the lights on his way out. He followed his sister to go get the gear to put on for their practice.

"So you're not going to give me brain damage this time right?"

"I didn't give you brain damage!"

"So you say... He said as he grabbed his clothes to change in and took out the headgear for them to wear.

They both got changed in their clothes fast and went into the house's dojo, putting on their gear to practice in.

"Wait, you aren't going to use the new shinai are you!?" He asked her as he was grabbing the other shinai.

"Well of course! How else am I going to get used to it?" She said as she lifted up the new one.

'And I'm dead.' He thought.
