"What's wrong Kirito-kun?" Asuna asked as she saw that he was looking intently at the sky.
"I don't like the way the sky looks… it's like it's getting ready to unleash another snowstorm." he told her as he glared at the way the clouds were darkening above. Asuna got up and joined him, looking up and seeing the clouds as they gathered, making any hope for sunlight gone.
"You're right…. I hope it doesn't since that means the snow will pile up more." she said, looking at the glass as their breath caused it to fog up. Kazuto moved his hand to make a smiley face on window, making Asuna laugh before adding three circles to make it a snowman. They both started to laugh, Kazuto adding a top hat to it while Asuna drew some buttons.
"It kind of looks like the snowman we made with Yui-chan." Asuna said a smile on her face as she thought of their in-game daughter.
"Who's Yui?" they heard from behind them. They turned and saw Midori standing there with her tablet in hand and a coffee in the other, looking at the two as they stood by the window looking outside.
"I-Isn't it a bit too early for some coffee? It's not even noon yet." Kazuto said in hopes of diverting her attention away from her question. Neither one of them had told their families of the family they made in SAO in fear of the reactions they would get from them. Mainly from Asuna's family if they had found out.
"H-He's right! Wouldn't tea be better at this time? I could make some for you." Asuna said as started to walk towards the kitchen to not let anything give them away, Midori narrowing her eyes as she saw them. Kazuto moved back to sit on the couch, trying to seem as calm as possible as his mother sitting right next to him.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" She asked, hoping that he would let some information slip as he usually did when they talked.
"I don't think I did… Maybe to talk to some club members about a few projects but other than that…" he said, making his mother sigh as he saw he wasn't going to give anything away, actually thinking of what he was saying for once. Asuna walked back into the room, carrying a tray of tea for the three of them.
"Here you go Midori-san. This will be better for you than the coffee." Asuna said as she passed her a cup.
"Thank you Asuna-chan." She said, putting the cup to her lips. She sipped some of the tea and was shocked at how good it tasted since it was made from the tea they usually had. She looked over to see Kazuto with a smile as he drank some of his tea.
"If your cooking tastes half as good as your tea, I can see why Kazuto is really happy." She said, drinking a bigger portion of her tea this time. The couple blushed after hearing her words, turning to look at the other.
"I know you liked my cooking but do you like it that much…" Asuna said quietly after sitting down next to him, blowing away at the steam coming from her cup.
"I've told you that do." he said, drinking more of the tea before he embarrassed himself further. Asuna smiled and drank some of her tea, the both of them forgetting that Midori, who was smiling at their interaction, was listening.
'At least they act more comfortable around each other than Suguha and Nagata-kun.' she thought, thinking it was weird that she hadn't heard anything from them in a while.
"I'm going to go check up on Suguha… You guys haven't heard from them either, right?" Midori asked, the both of them shaking their heads in response.
"I thought so…" She said, getting up from the chair and walking to the other side of the house, Kazuto and Asuna sighing in relief.
"For a moment, I thought she was going to interrogate us…" Kazuto said, slumping against the couch.
"I know… I thought that it would be the end if she found out and told my parents." Asuna thought as she also slumped back on the couch, her head leaning on Kazuto's shoulder.
"I wouldn't be THE end if your parents found out."
"What do you mean it wouldn't?"
"I mean… Even if they did found out, I would still do whatever I can to be with my family." he said, blushing as he said his thoughts to her. Asuna smiled, tears clinging to the edge of her eyes as she hugged him.
"And I would do the same!" she said to him, Kazuto hugging her back. They began to hear footsteps coming towards them and quickly separated, Midori returning with a smile on her face.
"They were just talking instead of practicing." she told them, grabbing her tea from the table and taking a drink from it. She started to walk away from the room, thanking Asuna for the tea.
"Kirito-kun, what's wrong?" she asked him, his eyes narrowed in the same way Midori had hers earlier.
"I find it suspicious that she didn't even try to embarrass us…" he said, making Asuna realize she didn't notice after being worried from Midori knowing about Yui.
"That's true… Maybe she didn't want to today?"
"That or she's planning something…" He said, fidgeting with the cup as he thought. Before either of them could voice their thoughts on the subject, Sugu came running from the other side of the house, red faced.
"D-Did you guys leave the door to the dojo open!? You guys didn't pass by, right!?" Sugu said in a panicked voice, Shinichi catching up behind her.
"N-No we didn't… Mom went there though." Kazuto said as Sugu's blush deepening at his words. She didn't say anything as she slowly retreated, dragging Shinichi with her.
"I wonder what they were talking about that has them that worried…" Asuna voiced out, Kazuto nodding in agreement.
"Maybe that's the reason mom isn't embarrassing us… She must've had her fill from hearing them talking… At least it wasn't us she heard talking." he said before their attention was pulled towards the window, seeing the top of a plow truck passing by on the streets. They could tell the time they were going to spend together would soon be cut short but smiled when they saw the drawing still there even though it should have disappeared.
