Infatuation (Kirito x Reader One-Shots!)

Enemies with Benefits - Part 2

The party started late into the afternoon, and it was being held at Asuna's. She was more than excited to throw it, not to mention she is thrilled to see that you showed up. She meets you and Liz at the door, grinning from ear to ear. You smile, stepping inside and giving her a hug. "Thanks for coming!" She says, excitedly, "Everyone's already inside." You groan, knowing full well who everyone is.

Liz smirks at you, walking off to greet everyone. You stand towards the back, hoping you don't involve yourself on conversation. But, to your dismay, Liz ushers you towards the group, with a sly grin. "Look who I finally got to show up," She says with a chuckle. You narrow your eyes at her, feeling eyes on you. The last thing you needed was him staring you down. He knew that you despised him. Hell, you're pretty sure he despises you as well. But the way he was staring at you, felt... different.

You decide to look up, seeing everyone's smiling faces. Then, you see him. He isn't standing with the rest of the group. He'd off to the side, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. You chew on the inside of your cheek, trying to understand his gaze. It isn't full of anger or hatred. He's looking at you with a look of intrigue. Who does he think he is? Staring at me like that, you thought to yourself, narrowing your eyes. Kirito looks away, no longer interested in staring at you.

What's his problem?

The rest of your friends start to bother you with hugs and conversation. You're completely baffled by Kirito's actions, but you don't let it bother you. He's always acted strange, and that's another reason why he's your enemy. Asuna and Liz came to your side, grinning deviously. "Oh no," You mumble, "What are you two doing?" Liz grabs your arm, pulling you into the other room. Asuna stays behind, walking over to Kirito. They are serious about setting you two up!

"Stay here. Don't move."

"Liz, don't you dare!"

The girl winked, shoving you into the room and slamming the door. You grumble under your breath, slamming your palm against your forehead. They are totally setting us up right now. Liz and Asuna come back, shoving Kirito into the room, and slamming the doors. Why in the hell are they so pushy? What made them so relentless about getting us together. Do they not understand your hatred for him? They seemed relentless in their feat to force the two of you together, even though the idea seemed ridiculous to you. In your mind, Kirito would always be your enemy. No matter the cost, you would make plenty sure it stays that way. They just didn't understand your thoughts and feelings. Liz out of everyone else should understand. Yet, here she is, 

Kirito was shoved into the kitchen, and a click sounded behind the kitchen door. You groan angrily, looking at him with narrowed eyes. The boy is completely confused, just like you are. But you find the thought of being locked in a room with him to be both terrifying and slightly unnerving. Either one of you will come out dead or crying. Either way, it wasn't going to be pretty for one of you. "Great," You spat, "I'm stuck in here with you." The boy furrows his eyebrows, tiling his head. You could tell that your remark impacted him. He opens his mouth to speak, eyes stinging with a insulted look.

"Why do you hate me so much, y/n?"

Your mouth drops, and you see the genuine question in his eyes. This kid did not just ask that question! The two of you have been enemies for a long time. You could only remember a short time when you used to be friends, but that time was over. All this time, and he has the nerve to ask you that now. Kirito raises his eyebrows, waiting for your response. It was almost as if he had planned this with Liz and Asuna. You narrow your eyes again, stepping towards him. Your hands ball into tight fists, and you struggle to hide a scream. He gives you that look like he had won. Like he was waiting for you to blow up. He was doing this all on purpose to make you upset. But why? What does he stand to gain from it?
