A/N:I completely forgot that the manga for progressive came out and the others are about to… I need to gather money now for it. Also, WE PASSED 90,000 VIEWS!? AND ABOUT 50 REVIEWS TO 300!? I love you guys!
Kirito fidgeted for a bit in his chair, wondering if he should ask Liz or wait for his sister to calm down before asking her since he didn't know of Liz would embarrass them later because of this.. Liz noticed his squirming and a confused look formed on her face.
'What's he up to…' Liz thought as she sipped the tea he had given her, also thinking that it was weird that it came out decent tasting considering he had made it.
"I don't know what you're trying to do but spit it out before I bring out my mace to question you with." She said to him, making him flinch since it meant that she saw him staring at her.
"Er… I have a question for you." he said, deciding against his better judgement to ask her since she was her best friend.
"About?" Liz asked, worried about what his question was considering the way he was acting.
"D-Do you know what I should get for Asuna for Christmas…?" he asked, Liz almost choking on her tea since she wasn't expecting that.
"Y-you mean you haven't decided for her yet!? It's next week! Next thing you know, you'll tell me that you have nothing planned for Yui-chan for Christmas too."
"Actually, I already have that." Kirito said, having what Asuna always referred to as his papa smile when they talked about his daughter.
"What did you get her?" Liz asked, curious as to what he could have gotten for her.
"I would tell you but it's a surprise. Only Asuna know what it is and I also don't want Yui to overhear."
"You're actually thinking for once… It must be good if Asuna approves." She said, making Kirito narrow his eyes.
"Let me remind you that at some point I had to help you with your math homework despite you being a grade above me." he said as he got up and took the tray of now empty cups of tea and plates to the kitchen. Liz pouted and stuck her tongue out at him, making him roll his eyes as he sat back down across from her.
"Let's just get back to the question okay? What should I get for her? The things I've seen don't seem perfect enough for her." he said as he put his hands together, still fidgeting since he was worried of not finding the right thing for her. Liz thought about it for a but, putting a hand to her chin as she thought but nothing specific came to mind.
"Has she told you of something she might want?" She asked, Kirito shaking his head. They both sighed, turning when they heard a door opening. They saw Yui in the doorway of the bedroom, rubbing one of her eyes as she blinked to see right after having just woke up.
"Papa? LIz-san?" she asked as she walked towards them, Kirito opening his arms to hug her. Yui jumped into his arms immediately, kissing his cheeks before leaving his arms to go hug Liz to greet her.
"Looks like someone got a good sleep." Kirito said as he pointed out her bed hair, making her giggle before he fixed it for her in his own way by ruffling it. Liz got an idea as she realized that Yui might know some things when she saw the young girl sit on the couch next to her father.
"Yui-chan, has your mama told you about anything she might like?" She asked, making Kirito realize what she was onto. Yui made a small look of concentration as she thought about it, looking up when she thought she had an answer.
"Floor 22… The cabin." She said, making Kirito smile at the memories from that place but also panic slightly.
'The 22nd floor still hasn't been unlocked yet… There are rumors that it will released before the month ends but when…?' he thought just before Liz interrupted him.
"I REALLY hope that you aren't considering getting it for her."
"Why not?"
"Because you don't even know when it's being released! Get her something more concrete!" Liz stated, making Yui laugh at the face he made at being scolded.
"It's not like I can just ask her what she wants! I need to get her something that is just perfect for her…" He said, the rest of his sentence drifting of when he realized that he had a perfect idea for a gift. They both saw his face and smiled, seeing that he now knew what to get for her.
"What's your idea?" Liz asked, wanting to know if it was a good gift for her best friend. Kirito was about to tell her but Yui stopped him from doing so, raising her hand.
"Mama's logging on." She said, making Kirito sigh in relief that she had warned him before telling her of his idea, mouthing that he would tell her later before a shimmer of light came into view a few feet away before Asuna appeared from it.
"Mama!"Yui said as she gave her a hug tackle, surprising the Undine before hugging her daughter back. Asuna looked up and her face paled slightly when she saw Liz who was glaring at her. She looked at Kirito, who mouthed her to tell that her phone died.
"L-Liz how come you are here?" she asked as innocently as she could.
"I'm because you don't answer your phone! What happened?" She asked.
"M-My phone died? I think I forgot to charge it now that I think about it…" Asuna said, Liz not even hearing the lying tone of her voice and just groaning when she realized it match what Kirito had said earlier.
A/N: Sorry if this is badly written. I got pretty sick because of the change in temperature so I've been falling asleep all day in class and still feel groggy. Thanks again for supporting me! Can't wait to reach 100,000 now! I shall go back to sleep now.
