Kirito swung with every breath.
Every time he thought about something that confused or irked him, he would kick off and swing higher.
He listened to the creaking of the year-old swing. He gripped the cool bars with his hands, kicking his legs and bending then back.
He was tempted to text Asuna to meet him, but he decided to leave her alone. She seemed to have been in a better mood, and he hoped she was.
When he saw the crystal his heart was on pause... It was really pretty. And Asuna had said she loved it. Favorite color...favorite shade...it was perfect.
He loved Asuna and he knew Asuna loved him. He smiled and kicked off at this thought. It made him quite happy. Not many people are able to find true love.
He continued to swing as he thought about the first night when they were in SAO
The first day they kissed...the first day they slept in each others warmth...
If was easier to propose in a game then it was in real life.
Kirito kicked his legs with more force and cursed silently as he slipped from the swing and fell to the cold wood chips.
"Ouch..." He winced and stood up. It was about time he got to bed. He checked his phone for texts once more and was secretly disappointed there wasnt a text from Asuna.
As he walked home, he felt unsettled, but he told himself it was just the unease from his thoughts. And lack of sleep.
So instead of being freaked out he started thinking about his recent project- how to create/take things online and make them real offline.
This was half for yui and half a plan for Asuna...
Kirito stopped and swung his head. A man in a hoodie was approaching him. He blinked and turned completely.
"Can I help you?" He asked firmly as he backed away.
The man didn't answer. Kirito went to turn around to continue walking but when he turned around he rammed into another man in a hoodie.
"I have no money." Kirito got into stance even though he didn't have a sword. But ever since the incident with Suguo he carried around a pocket knife.
The man merely came closer and kicked him...in a highly sensitive area. Kirito fell down to the ground and what was worse was he landed on the pocket that his phone was in. He winced as he landed and tried to get up but was held down by the other man.
And in that moment...he was scared. Scared that he would die. He would die without seeing his and Asuna's future and being there for her through the years.
He decided if he would die...he would die with her name on his lips...so he hoarsely called her name.
"Asuna..."
And then his vision went black.
***********************************
Asuna stared at her ceiling. She wished Kirito would text her but she didn't think she could handle it. Shed break down and wind up telling him everything. Then he would worry. Then everyone would get involved.
But damn how bad she wanted to hug and kiss him and melt in his arms.
Her thoughts were cut through as her ringer went off. It was odd...Kirito didn't usually call her...
She answered it "Kir-"
She stopped. Something was wrong. On the other end she heard grunts and groans...and after a second or two she recognized it was Kirito.
"They know him online and offline."
Asuna opened her mouth to call him but she decided against it and ran out the door with it on speaker.
She was halfway out the door when she heard him call through the phone.
He sounded defeated;desperate. "Asuna..." She ran faster. And faster. Her bare feet slapped against the Black top as she ran. She wished she had the same points from online. In real life she was barely half as fast.
Finally she came up to the swing set. No one was there. She kept going and just a little further was a couple men in black hoodies carrying Kirito.
That was Kirito right?
Right?
She took a deep breath and yelled, "Officer over here! They're they are!" The crooks were quick to run, throwing Kirito right? On the ground. She ran and within a step she knew it was him.
"Kirito..!" She fell to the ground and put her ear to his chest. He was breathing. Thank god. But he was breathing very shallowly. "I have to get you to the hospital."
But there was no way shed be able to carry him.
She cried into his chest. And suddenly felt a hand in her head. "Kirito...?"
He wraped his other arm around her waist. "You came to save me," he managed.
"Of course I did! Cmon we need to get you to the hos-"
"Shhhh" he breathed out. It sounded like he was pushing the sound out to the best of his ability. "Its fine...they just knocked the wind out of me."
"They might've broken your ribs thiught," she whispered. "Or cut you up, or banged your head-"
"Shhhhhhhh," he kissed her forehead.
"Kirito!" She said louder. "Please!"
"I'm fine." And with that he began to move. With the help of the wall and Asuna he stood up. "Help me home. Sugu isn't even there she's at a friend's house."
So Asuna helped him home and laid with him all night, melting in his arms as she worried more and more about the Error Unknown.
