I'm Here, Kirito

|Chapter 12|

Eugeo sees the pain in his best friend's face. "Kirito! Kirito, wake up!" He said, as that the teen pant in sweat, as he looked at Eugeo who was worried . 

"Eugeo. Oh, it was a nightmare." He said, as the young blond teen sat across his bed, as he asked, "Your nightmare... was it about that day, wasn't it?

The day we fought the Administrator wasn't it?"

Kirito was amazed of how he knew about his nightmare so easily. Of course he knew, mostly because it truly happened and it continues to traumatized him . 

"Kazuto... it was truly something we have to endure. I... I have to accept my mistake for not recognizing what type of consequence I have to deal with. 

You should've told me or Alice about your nightmares. We can support you whenever we could." 

The amazement in Kirito's eyes was truly stunned of his childhood friend's words. Although they didn't see it, Sugu and Alice was overhearing their conversation. 

As both of the girls went into their bedroom, either of them spoke up because it was awkward of knowing of what the conversation was about. 

The next morning, Eugeo and Kirito decided to go to GGO, where Eugeo would participate in a tag duel for the first time. 

Eugeo used his Swordfight outfit for his GGO account, he turns around to see his childhood friend's avatar for the first time. 

"Kirito? Your avatar..." Eugeo said, as that being amazed and felt awkward of seeing it. The teen blushed of his avatar. 

"Don't worry, Sinon got the same reaction when we first met. She literally thought i was a female avatar, it was a big misunderstanding on my part." 

As the event was about to start, the Ruild duo was beating the opponents one by one, as that they never skip a beat. 

Eugeo was amazed of how his childhood friend was using a blue-lighted saber sword, as like he fought him back in the real world. 

"He's amazing." He thought. 

As the tourment ended, Sinon was impressed with how well the two boys worked together. "I have to admit, I have seen Kirito fought so many times with me or Asuna, but you two looked like you've been fighting since forever!" 

"Well, what you expect? I did came from another world, remember?" Eugeo said, as Kazuto just felt silent. 

Even though he was totally grateful that having both of his childhood friends come into his world, the real world as he wanted to, it's kind of hard for him to grasp if it was really real or just his imagination, a fantasy that helps him cope with being in the real world after being away for so long. 

Back at the house, Sugu and Alice were completely worried about Kazuto's behavior. "I still can't believe he wouldn't say anything about his nightmares about the fight against the Administrator. " Alice said, as Sugu concur with her. 

"I know. It's not like we could fake of not knowing the truth, but it seems like he feels totally guilty about it, like he was back at his SAO days." 

"I wished that he told me about it. I was at the Cathedral and fought alongside him, I should've known what he was truly feeling since that day. The signs were there and I never noticed it until now." Alice said, felt bad about his true feelings as that deep down inside, she felt that it was truly her fault to begin with. 

Both girls sigh, as then Sugu stands up, "Well, I think we can do something about it, and for that, Eugeo should be the one to ask him about this. I'll text him right now. " 

"Whoa, wait a second! Are you sure that's a good i-idea? It's all too sudden and out of the blue-" Alice said, trying to prevent her from doing anything reckless, but alas, it was too late as the text was already sent to him. 

"Geez, I can't believe you two are related." Alice mutters as that Sugu just simply smiles at her friend and reassures her, "If anyone can get the boy to talk it would be Eugeo himself. They been through a lot in the Underworld for a long time, and they been together to save you. Let them sort this out between boys." 

"I hope so... I really do."
