Reality (Kirito Kirigaya Fanfic)

The Sleepover

Kirito's POV

After the kiss broke in the limo, we headed inside just to find my mom and Suguha greeting us at the door. 

"How was the dance?" My mother questioned then quickly noticed the crown on my head. "What did you two win?"

"We were voted Snow King and Queen." I held onto Melody's hand, interlocking our fingers together. I noticed in the corner of my eyes that Melody was smiling. My mom quickly noticed and smiled.

"You two would make a cute couple." My mother then walked out of the room.

"Are you two dating?" Suguha asked, also noticing our hands.

"No, we're not!" I turned red. I pulled Melody upstairs to my room and slammed the door shut, locking it. "sorry about that.."

"Don't be..it's fine."She smiled her beautiful smile. "Um..I should tell my family that i'm over here to spend the night."  

"Yeah.." She stood up and walked down the stairs and ran to her house.

Melody's POV

I walked inside my house and was bombarded by questions from my mother.

"Was the dance fun? Why is your cheek cut? Why are you wearing a tiara? Where is Kirito?" 

"It was fun. I got cut, I won Snow Queen and Kirito won Snow King and Kirito is at house because I was wondering if I could spend the night at his house?"

My mom thought for a moment. "Sure but.." I groaned. "Be back by 1PM tomorrow."

"Okay!" I ran to my room, smiling like a fool. I ran around my room, thinking of what to wear. I packed a plain, jet black hoodie and matching black short shorts for pj's and decided to wear a black and white stripped long sleeve and light blue skinny jeans. I stuffed them in a small SAO backpack, giving to me as a gift after I had woken up from SAO. I was horrified once I received it. I didn't want to remember the horrors I saw and remember the lives I took with my sword. They weren't just video game lives, they were also human life. That game made children, teens, and adults murderers just to beat some game. 3,853 lives were taken and some one those death were on my hands. I also received a blue sweatshirt with SAO written in white lettering from the same person I received the backpack from. My sister. I couldn't look at either of the objects for a month without having horrendous flashbacks. Kirito was the same way and he would help me deal with it and he did. Now, I can look at them with ease.

I ran downstairs with my bag and bolted through the front door and ran back over to Kirito's. I calmed down and walked inside and walked up to Kirito's room. I opened the door and walked inside to see Kirito shirtless. I turned tomato red and dropped my backpack.

"Um.. tell me when you're done.." Kirito jumped and spun around, noticing me. Kirito turned red as well and I walked out, instantly shutting the door behind me. once I did, I felt something run down my face and go over my lip. I lifted my fingers over my top lip and then looked at my finger. There was blood on them. I quickly walked over to the bathroom and noticed my nose was bleeding. "Great..i'm getting bloody noses over my crush.." I mumbled then my eyes widened. 'Crush? Do I have a crush on Kirito? I mean..he's always there for me and he did kiss me..more than once and he's always by my side' I then realized I do have feelings for Kirito, but so did Asuna and she would do anything to have him. She would probably kill someone. I looked down at my dress and there was speckles of blood on it. 'Great..' I thought as I slid off my dress then I remembered 'My bag is in Kirito's room...Great...' I walked out of the bathroom, making sure no one saw me and I wanted in Kirito's room and looked at him as he was now fully clothed. 

"Melody?" Kirito noticed me and turned crimson.

Kirito's POV

'She was only in a strapless bra and underwear...' I continued to stare at her. 'Kirito! Look away now..' I told myself as I then turned around, redder than a tomato.

Melody's POV

'Get dressed and don't talk about it..' I zipped open my bag, grabbing my black sweatshirt and black short shorts and quickly changed into them. 

"I'm dressed now.. you can look at me again..'' Kirito turned back around, still tomato red. I walked over to him and sat down on the bed as he sat next to me.

"I'm sorry for staring at you.." Kirito rubbed the back of his neck nervously as he looked at me.

"And I'm sorry for walking in on you changing.." I felt Kirito wrap his arm around me and pulled me against his side. 'He's so nice and cute and he's warm.'

"Melody...I've been meaning to ask you an important question..." He looked at my dead straight in the eyes and I looked back at his, seeming to get lost in them. My heart rate increased the longer I looked at Kirito. "Ever since I met you in SAO, I've... developed feelings for you. I couldn't help it. You were always there when I needed you. We survived SAO together and I don't know if I would have made it out alive without you. You are the only girl on my mind. You are the only girl I want... now... what I want to ask you is...will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend, Melody Jackson?"

I was at a lost for words. My heart was beating faster than it normal should and my eyes were swelling up with tears. I felt the same way for him, but I couldn't put it into words until he spoke them for me. "I...I would love to be your girlfriend, Kirito, but what about Asuna?" 

"Asuna won't do anything. I will make sure nothing happens to you. She will just have to get over it." Kirito took a step forward, reaching his hand up to cup my face. I couldn't help but smile.

"In that case, I will gladly be your girlfriend, Kirito." I leaned in, connecting his lips with mine. Nothing could ruin this moment.
