A/N: First things first, no part 2 yet for Meeting the Brother. I was going to but since I had to work on a few things I forgot to do, it was pretty much the last thing on my mind. That is all. (I'll try to make part 2 super long or make it have 3 parts to make up for it.)
~Next day~
Asuna opened her eyes to see an unfamiliar ceiling, confused from the morning grogginess she had. She yawned as she rubbed her eyes, looking clearly at the room.
'Kirito-kun's room… That's right. I stayed here because of the snowstorm…' She thought, turning to see Kazuto sleeping peacefully next to her. Asuna smiled and looked at the childlike face that he had in his sleep. She moved the hair that he had covering his eyes before moving from under the dark blue blanket and the bed, using the light coming from the window to change quickly from the clothes she had borrowed from the younger Kirigaya. She was fixing her hair to be more presentable when she started to hear a familiar rustling from behind her. She turned and saw Kazuto's eyebrows scrunch up together before his eyes opened, covering them with his arm when he saw the bright light.
"Can we go back to sleep?" Kazuto asked, using his other hand to lift up the blanket and cover his face with it.
"I would say yes but it's almost 8." she said as she sat on the corner of the bed. He sat up and rubbed his eyes as he moved next to her.
"Good morning Asuna." he said, quickly planting a kiss on her cheek before she could reply. Asuna turned red as soon as she felt his lips on her skin.
"G-Good morning Kirito-kun." She told him, returning the gesture. Kazuto smile and stretched his arms in the air, feeling happy that he was with Asuna this early in the morning. A knock on the door stopped any further conversation between them, Kazuto telling the person on the other side that they could come in. The door opened and Midori came in.
"Asuna-chan you should stay more often. Kazuto doesn't usually wake up before 9." She said with a teasing tone in her voice, Kazuto losing balance and falling onto his back on the bed.
"Y-You didn't have to say it like that!" He said as he tried to avoid the glare his girlfriend was sending his way from his mother's words. Midori laughed a bit before continuing for what she came for.
"I just came to say good morning and that breakfast will be ready in a few minutes so you two should wash up before coming down." She said, closing the door and laughing as she walked to the staircase.
"Why don't you wake up early?" Asuna asked him first, Kazuto knowing that if he answered this question she would kill him.
"That's because… Homework! I sleep late sometimes doing it and don't wake up till then!" he said, making Asuna sigh.
"You do realize that you told me you already finished it, right?" She told him, making him think that he was screwed.
"Kirito-kun…" She said, pouting at him in a way that made him sigh and give in.
"I've been sleeping later since then I usually do since I've been working on the things that I showed you on the computer… And it also doesn't help that Sugu makes me really exhausted after sparing." he said, making Asuna's face softened a bit before smiling at him.
"I know you're working hard but you shouldn't work so much. It'll make bad habits." she said as she put a hand on his cheek, making him blush a bit.
"O-Okay…" He said, making her smile, his heart skipping a few beats from how it outshone the light from outside. He cleared his throat to direct any attention from his blush as he got up from the bed.
"W-Why don't you go get ready while I get changed?" he said, his nervous tone making Asuna want to laugh as she got up from the bed, kissing his cheek as she said yes and walked out the room, Kazuto sighing from relief. He quickly grabbed his clothes from his closet and changed into them, fixing his hair in the reflection of his clock on the wall. He went to the bathroom quick to wash his face and went downstairs to have breakfast, yawning since he still wanted some sleep.
"Good morning." He said upon seeing that Sugu and Shinichi were already at the table.
"Good morning." they responded, Sugu having a look of gratitude towards him for showing up.
'Mom must have been teasing her again...' he thought as he sat down next to Asuna at the table, the food already laid out before them. They ate silently for a while, Asuna and Shinichi thinking it was weird until they noticed it was because Midori was on her tablet, editing things on it as she ate her omelet, Sugu relieved that she wasn't going to embarrass them any further. When they had finished their meal, they all went to various parts of the house, Midori going to her office with toast in her mouth and Asuna and Kazuto going to the living room while Sugu and Shinichi went to the dojo to practice, Kazuto laughing at this.
"Kirito-kun you shouldn't laugh!" Asuna said after he started to laugh when they left.
"But I know that he's going to get hurt badly! He's going to help Sugu practice on the one morning that she actually has energy to do it!" He said, still laughing. Asuna pouted at his words and grabbed a pillow, waving it in front of him menacingly.
"I will use this."
"... Okay I'll stop he stop." he said, eyeing the pillow. Asuna laughed at his face, putting the pillow down before her eyes caught sight of the window, seeing how the streets were unclean and still packed with the snow.
"How long do you think it will be until the streets are clean?" she asked him, Kazuto looking towards the window now.
"Maybe a few hours at least…" he told her, seeing the light blush on her cheeks and an accompanying smile.
'That's good...' she thought, looking at the blindingly bright snow.
A/N: Okay so… I've been procrastinating a lot and drawing to help it so that's where some of this came from… I'm going to bed… Long day...
