A/N: You guys would not believe how happy I am! We passed 200 reviews! I never thought that people would respond to this much when I started so I'm really happy that people like this! Thank you Batblade-girl-beyond for being the 200th reviewer!

Also this takes place in summer… I think...


Asuna fidgeted with the case on her cell phone as she waited for Kazuto to pick her up, thinking if the outfit she had on was appropriate enough for dinner at his house with his family.

'I know he said not to worry but…' she thought as she began to subconsciously fix her hair in the reflection of her phone. She heard the revving of a bike outside and got up to look out the window, seeing Kazuto stopping right outside and taking off his helmet and grabbing his phone to call her. She smiled and looked out her window as she answered his phone call.

"Hey, Asuna. I'm outside your house to pick you up." he told her, still having not noticed her.

"I could tell since I heard your bike... Also you might want to fix your hair. Some of it is standing up in the back." she told him, giggling slightly as she saw his hand shoot up and flatten his hair. Kazuto looked up and smiled when he saw her laughing from the window, moving his hand from his head to wave at her instead. Asuna stopped laughing and waved back, putting the receiver of her phone closer to her mouth.

"I'll be down in a few minutes." she said before hanging up and moving away from the window. Asuna quickly put her phone in her bag and went downstairs, putting on her shoes before leaving and locking the house. She walked up to him and kissed his cheek in a greeting, Kazuto's face blushing red as he saw that she was wearing

'Why does she look cute in everything?' he thought to himself, looking at the light red shorts she had on that matched her pink blouse and black leather jacket. He pulled on his collar slightly and turned to grab the spare helmet he had brought for her.

"P-Put this on." he said to her, Asuna noticing the red tint in his cheeks and blushing as well, putting on the helmet.

"S-So it IS okay for me to come over for dinner, right?" she asked as she got one behind him on his bike, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"I told you its okay! My mom really wants to meet you formally so she insisted that you come over for dinner."

"O-Okay… What I have on is appropriate right?" she asked him, bringing another blush to his face.

"Y-Yeah… It is." he said before he revved up his bike and began to maneuver through the streets to his house. Asuna held on more to him, wrapping her arms tighter around his waist and leaning her head against his back. Kazuto smiled and went a bit faster on his bike, receiving a yelp from Asuna as she hid her face in his back.

"I didn't know you were this scared of riding on a motorbike." he said teasingly, making a pout form on her face.

"I-I'm not scared!" She told him, lifting her face from his back to have her chin on his shoulder, making Kazuto smile as they neared his house. When they finally came to a stop, they both got off the bike and Kazuto parked his bike next to the side of the house, making sure to take the key with his since he didn't want to be lectured by his mother. When he turned to look at Asuna, he saw that she was fidgeting with collar of her blouse.

"Relax," he said as he took her agitated hand in his, "there's no need for you to be nervous." She blushed as she felt his warm hands around hers but responded quickly.

"But it's your family and I don't want to seem impolite around them…"

"It'll be fine! You're only meeting my mom right now since dad is working in America right now." he said, making some of the nervous stiffness in her shoulder shrink a bit.

"O-Okay then…" she raised her head and smiled at him. Kazuto smiled back and went to the door while holding Asuna's hand, unlocking it and allowing her in first.

"I'm home!" He said out loud as they entered the house, the couple taking off their shoes at the entrance and exchanging them for some slippers.

"Welcome home!" they both heard from the kitchen. Asuna tightened her grip on his hand a bit as she could hear Midori coming closer. When she popped her head around the corner, Asuna's grip on his hand loosened.

'Kirito-kun and her have the same smile… they might not be actual mother and son but I see why Suguha-chan says that he takes after their mother.' she thought as she bowed to Midori, introducing herself.

"It's nice to meet you Kirigaya-san. I'm Yuuki Asuna."

"There's no need to be so formal. Just call me Midori." She told her, making her smile.

"Y-Yes Midori-san." She said before Kazuto and her continued walking to end up in the living room, seeing Sugu walk out of the connecting dojo in her kendo attire.

"Hello Suguha-chan!" Asuna said, much more cheerful now that she felt most of the anxiety vanish.

"Asuna-san! I didn't think you'd… Wait what time is it!?" She asked, Kazuto showing her the time on his phone. Sugu bowed with a nervous smile and walked upstairs to shower quickly and change out of her clothes.

"I swear she's more forgetful than me sometimes."

"Sometime?"

"I'm not that forgetful!" he said, looking away as he blushed, Asuna laughing at his expression. Midori called out to them that the food was ready, Sugu walking down the stairs just in time for dinner. When they all walked into the kitchen they saw the different food that was arranged on the table. There was onigiri (Rice Balls), somen (chilled noodles), and sukiyaki (special hotpot).

"Oka-san you really went all out…" Sugu said as she took her seat at the table.

"Well it's not every day that one of my children brings home their loved one… Unless you have someone Suguha."

"There's no one and that's not happening!" She said with a red face.

"I'll hold you too that." Midori said, everyone now sitting at the table.

"Itadakimasu!" They all said before starting their meal. Asuna snuck a look at Kazuto as they were eating and saw that he was eating calmly.

'That's weird…. Kirito-kun usually eats very ravenously… d-does he only eat like that with my cooking…?' she thought, finishing one of the onigiri she had with a slight smile on her face

"So Asuna-chan. Kazuto has let it slip once or twice that you make lunch for him." Midori said calmly to start off the conversation, making Kazuto choke on his somen slightly and Asuna blush dark red in her chair.

"W-Well yeah I do make him lunch…" she said quietly as she drank some of her tea and looked away.

"Well I'm glad to know that he's actually eating and not stuck glued to a computer screen."

"Y-You know I don't stay on it that long…" he said after he managed to speak.

"And now I see why." Midori said as she motioned towards Asuna, the couple blushing and Sugu trying her best not to laugh at the scene before her.

"Sugu I can't wait for karma to strike back at you…" Kazuto whispered to her as he saw her stifling her laughter.

"I'm not going to make the same mistake and agree to let bring that person to dinner to that will never happen."

"You say that now…" He said as he turned back to his food, feeling a squeeze on left hand. He looked at his hand and saw Asuna's hand holding his, her face still red as she ate with her other hand. He squeezed back and continued eating, choking on his food as Midori continued to embarrass the couple with small comments.
