~Kirito's POV~
What... What did I just do?
Running and jumping over plastic bottles angry neighbors threw at me, I ran to (Y/N)'s apartment. The door was locked, and it wouldn't budge. Grabbing a spare paper clip I always carry with me for exactly this type of situation, the door unlocked easily. I picked the last lock with my credit card, because that was locked from the inside with one of those chain latches.
Opening the door, I heard muffled crying from (Y/N)'s bedroom. I ran over to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. That lock was rather easily picked. Barging in, (Y/N) stared up at me like I've never seen her before. When I saved her from those freaks, she was scared... But... But this (Y/N).... She was totaled. Her (E/C) eyes were red and swollen, her face slightly red from the tears and I think something else. Her entire body was quaking violently; and her face was drained of its color. She had a pillow desperately clutched to her chest, and her knees were crossed. She looked so... Vulnerable...
She stared up at me in anger and pain, but mostly disappointment. She opened her mouth and screamed for me to leave, but I refused. Running over, she didn't see me flash towards her. I tackled her on the bed, pinning her down by her arms. She kept her eyes shut and refused to look at me.
"(Y/N) I'm so sorry! Hear me out! I... I wanted to calm you down! And... And... And it just got twisted and messed up! I'm sorry! I wanted to calm you so you wouldn't hate me, so... So apparently I decided to kiss you... But listen...! That was a mix of a confession and to calm you! (Y/N), I love you! I loved you since the day we met in that world! It... It'd kill me if you ever hated me! Please (Y/N)! I'm sorry! I really do love you!"

"I'm sorry! I really do love you!"
"You... No you don't! You filthy bastard! Just leave me the fuck alone!" I cried, thrashing in his grip. He pinned me down harder and got closer to my face.
"(Y/N) If I really did hate you, I wouldn't do this would I?" His voice was calm and soothing; it felt nice to be heard. He leaned in somewhat quickly, as he kissed me deeply. This wasn't a calming kiss... No... It wasn't like the others. He kissed me for real this time. I knew... The sparks flying through my head, my heart beating in my throat, the dizzy feeling and churning feeling my brain and stomach gave me, it all... This was real. Closing my watered (E/C) eyes slowly, I let him kiss me. I let him own me like I was some kind of pet.

~Kirito's POV~
My blush always seemed to worsen around her. I just seemed like something to her, but I never thought it was enough. So I tried to protect her. Care for her. Make sure I was there in her times of need. Apparently, that was too much. The kiss... Her soft pink lips pushed against mine, the way I could feel her heartbeat through it... The way my head spun... It felt... Amazing... I couldn't believe that I was actually doing that this time. The little red tie from my tux draped onto her shoulder, and she was still in her PJ's.
Pulling away after what seemed like eternity, I stared down at her and she stopped crying. All of her fears seemed to have gone to waste... Thankfully I was the one who did that. Then again, I was the one to cause it... Taking a deep breath, I decided to explain.
"(Y/N), when you were mad at me like that... It hurt. I just wanted to protect you, get close to you... Be there for you... Because I never felt like I meant enough to you. That's selfish of me, but I can't help it. I never meant to say that didn't mean anything in the hallway. It did. It meant more than life to me. I lied when I said I wish I didn't save you in the alley... Honestly I wish I got there sooner... Please (Y/N), I don't want you to hate me... I'm so sorry... Can... Can you please forgive this selfish bastard..?"
Offering a weak smile, she looked up at me. Nodding slowly, her face was dark red and so was mine. She still must've been in shock. Finally breaking the barrier, she smiled.
"I guess... Yeah, I can." She smiled and I smiled back. Crawling off of her, I stood by her bedside and her pale feet ever so gently became in contact with the floor.
"And Kazuto..." She started and I looked up.
"I love you too."
"I'm gonna go change..." She said, offering a weak smile. I knew she forgave me. I guess it would just need a little time to relax to. Not to mention that she loves me back!
"I'm gonna go change too, so if you need me I'll be at my place. Please don't hesitate to come there." She smiled at me and snickered.
"Do you remember anything we just talked about?" She smirked and shut the door to her bedroom. Walking out with a smile, I changed back in my apartment. Nothing fancy, just basketball shorts and a regular black T-shirt. I smiled the whole time, thinking about what I had just done.
I confessed to (Y/N)... I confessed to (Y/N)! A-and she loves me back! HELL YEAH!
I did a little victory dance around my room then laughed to myself, going to shower quickly. I heard a knock on the door and saw (Y/N).
"Hey." I said, and I had my shirt off for the shower. She blushed and looked into my eyes.
"Hi." She smiled.
"Since.. Um... Since I think we're dating... Do you want to go somewhere today?" I smiled and she grinned.
"Sure." Her smile lit up an entire room- no- an entire building. I've seen so many guys she hasn't noticed paralyzed by her precious looks.
"Sweet. I'm gonna go shower again. You can heat up anything in the fridge if you're hungry, and go ahead and watch TV." I smiled and she smirked.
"You don't need to tell me twice!" She ran over to the fridge and began tossing out food she wanted to eat.
...which was a lot.
"Hey! Leave some for me to live!" I laughed and she just flipped me off playfully. I walked into the shower and stripped, letting the water fall down my hair. I heard (Y/N) laughing mechanically in the other room. After changing and putting on cologne, I walked out of the bathroom and instantly got met by plastic foil wrap meeting my face not so nicely. It was right at my face level in the door frame, and it naturally being clear, it wasn't so easy to spot.
(Y/N) was on the floor dying of laughter, and I couldn't hold back a few snickers.
"That was a good one." I smiled and took the wrap off the door frame. I tossed it in the trash, as she smiled at me with her arms crossed.
"You might need glasses, four eyes." She giggled evilly and I just waved it off.
"Whatever." I smiled and walked to the couch. I sat down and watched TV with (Y/N) for a while, her body under my arm. It felt good. Eventually, I was about to fall asleep, and (Y/N) slapped my thigh and I shot awake.
"AH!" I shouted, and she giggled.
"Are we still gonna go on a date?" She pointed at the clock that read 4:37pm.
"Damn!" I yelled and grabbed her arm, flipping off the TV and running out the door and onto my motorcycle. She giggled and rested her chin on my shoulder.
"Where are we goin'?" She smiled, and I smirked evilly.
"That's a surprise."
