Whatever Time I Have Left

Stories

Kirito stared at Yuuki, shocked at how direct she is. He had told his friends many times in Alfheim, Gun Gale and in real life. The memories, even though nearly three years ago were still fresh and carved into his mind.

"Why do you wanna know about that?" He asked, a slight wobble in his voice.

Yuuki noticed the wobble and immediately regretted asking for him to tell his story of Sword Art Online's terror. "I-I... I just want to know w-what it was like to be in such a horrifying game...?" She mumbled, barely at a whisper.

"Um... Well okay. Listen quietly and carefully okay? Because... Because I'm only going to say this once," He spoke in a dull voice, with no emotion. He hadn't even started to tell Yuuki about his horrible, horrible time in the game. "It was nearly three years ago now. But the time there is still in my mind like it was only yesterday..."

As Kirito explained his story, Yuuki, the master swords woman lay her head on his lap and dozed off dreaming about being stuck in Sword Art Online. Kirito knew she had fell asleep and yet he continued his story, to her, but to himself as well. Everything he won, lost, laughed and cried and fought. The Moonlit Black Cats. Sachi. He hated to admit it, but he knew that he had fell in love with Sachi, but missed his chance with her. He watched her die, right in front of him and he had no way of stopping it. And now Asuna would slap him for looking at any other girl that isn't her. And that was probably the bad thing as most of his friends were girls. Lisbeth, Silica, Leafa. Leafa, his own cousin and Asuna felt jealous when they talked or even exchanged glances. But last week Asuna was being overly protective of his boyfriend, as Kirito was having a conversation with his daughter Yui and he could feel Asuna's glare on the back of his head. No. Boyfriend is the wrong word. More like pet. Finishing his story he looked down and saw that he was unconsciously stroking her hair. He knew if Asuna saw him doing this he'd get killed, in-game and out in the real world. But looking at Yuuki's innocent face, he didn't seem to care anymore. He lay back on the tree and fell into a deep sleep.
