A/N: Well… I'm dead tired. Started school again and I'm dying in class (AKA, falling asleep from the lack of sleep) Sorry if this badly written since I'm still sleep deprived.


A small ringing noise went off in Kirito's ear, making him snap his eyes open and jump, falling to the floor with a thump. Asuna and Yui looked at him sprawled on the floor, his face on the carpet before they started to laugh at what had happened.

"K-Kirito-kun, are you okay?" Asuna asked as she saw that he wasn't moving from where he landed.

"I'm okay… Just wondering why the carpet seems to be softer than my bed…" he said to them, pushing himself up. He swiped his fingers down and opened his messages, checking who had disturbed his slumber.

"Su… Lyfa wants me to open the door since she's coming here." he said, walking over to the door to let in the blond sylph. He opened it just as the she landed in front of the door.

"I take it Recon left then?" he asked as he opened the door more for her to enter, her gladly entering as she shook off some of them virtual snow from her shoulder.

"H-He did. His parents picked him up a few minutes after you left to see Yui-chan." She said walking to the living room to where the others were, greeting Asuna and Yui.

"But you know, I came here to tell you mom want you to do something." She said as she took a seat next to Yui.

"Eh? What does she want me to do?" he asked her, his head slightly tilted to the left.

"She said that you have to be the one to clean the snow outside." She told him as she smiled, making him slump his shoulders a bit.

"I was just waiting for you two to throw that fastball... " he grumbled under his breath, Yui giving him a big hug.

"Papa can do it! Papa can do almost anything!" She said as she gave him a huge smile, making him return the gesture.

"Almost?" He asked his daughter, receiving a small giggle from her.

"You can't beat Mama." She said, making him nod in agreement, Asuna looking surprised about that since he was stronger than her.

"What? She's right." he said as he quickly hugged her too, kissing her cheek really quickly before getting up from the couch.

"Faster I clean away the snow, faster I can come back," he said to them, "I'll explain why she's right later but for now…" he said as he opened his menu and pushed the logout button, waving as he disappeared. Asuna sighed and leaned back on the couch, a slight smile playing her lips at the thought of him coming back soon.

"H-Hey Asuna-san… I was wondering if I could ask you for some… advice…" Lyfa said, trailing off as her face began to deepen its color at what she was thinking about.

"Advice about what Lyfa-chan?" she asked with a smile, happy that she was coming to her with her question.

"Well… Onii-chan pointed out that Christmas was nearing and I was just curious about what kind of gift is appropriate to get…" she said, who whole face now red. Asuna was a bit surprised by the question since she hadn't given it much thought on what's appropriate and what wasn't. Then something else occurred to her.

"I'm not really sure if I can answer that Lyfa-chan… This is going to be the first Christmas that Kirito-kun and I spent together so it's also the first that we exchange gifts." she said a bit sheepishly. Lyfa blinked a few times before another question came to mind.

"But when you guys were in SAO, didn't you spend it together?"

"No… I was busy training to raise my level to clear some dungeons and I don't know where Kirito-kun was…" she admitted, feeling regret that she hadn't gone looking for him that Christmas.

"Hmm… I guess that means you wouldn't know what kind of gift is appropriate… b-but you still have more experience than me! What kind of gift should I give to Nagata-kun?" Lyfa asked the older girl, her eyes doing a small puppy dog stare.

"W-Wouldn't getting him something that you automatically think he would like be good?" She said.

"That's true… but I still wouldn't have a general idea of what he would like…" she said, putting her hands to the sides of her head. Asuna was trying not to laugh since she'd seen Kirito do that exact same pose before when he was struggling with homework.

"I know what you mean. It's really hard to think up of something but once it comes to mind, you can't help but think it was stupid of you not to realize it before." Asuna said, smiling as she patted Lyfa's shoulder.

"Hopefully I'll find it soon. I don't want to have to freak out at the last minute… What did you get for my brother?" Lyfa asked curiously, "maybe I can get a general idea."

"Sorry but I'm not telling," Asuna said with a playful smile, looking at her daughter as she continued, "wouldn't want Papa finding out about it." she said, making Yui giggle.

"That's a good idea… If I knew, Onii-chan would somehow get it out of me." Lyfa said as she sighed.

"Maybe I should go looking at the mall tomorrow…" She said, another idea popping into her head.

"Asuna-san, would you go with me?" she asked, putting her hands together in a pleading motion. Asuna was startled that she would ask her to accompany her but smiled, remembering something that Lyfa had mentioned when they were at their home.

"Only if you can show me pictures of Kirito-kun when he was in middle school." Asuna said, making Lyfa smile.

"Done! I'll look for them later so that I can show them to you tomorrow!" She said, relieved that she would have the support of someone slightly more experienced in relationships to help her with this.
