Kirito x Reader "Stay with me"

Chapter 5 "Just a Friend"

You groaned in your pillows what was your father going to do with you. Smack your head in the wall? No way that's just no way. You were thinking hard about it when you heard a knock on your door. Who was it? You gulped and said "Come in"

Then came inside was a tall figure your father you quickly sat up he was normal now not a rampaging rhino. You were at least relieved.

"It's time we had a clear talk" your father says clasping his hands

"okay" you nod wanting him to say more he sits down and looks at you

"What that boy said I thought about it and I think he was right in a way" your father starts

What was your father saying! You couldn't believe your ears!

"But that doesn't mean you get to hang around with him all the time"

Your face was in a frown

"You can still consult him in your work of school that I'm giving you permission nothing more. And it shouldn't be a bother on your studies" He stops and looks at you.

You were clearly satisfied and excited. 'You know how much happy I am! I might be the happiest woman alive' you thought as your father got up to leave.

"Thank you father" you say quietly he stops for awhile not looking back but then leaves.

You were so excited you were jumping on your bed. You couldn't wait to tell Kirito the good news.

The next day came and you found yourself in school, you walked to class.

For some reason Kirito didn't come to school today. Was he sick or something you had to know gosh! You didn't even have his phone number.

At the end of the day you managed to know where Kirito was. He was in a hospital.

Panic gripped you as you rushed to the hospital. You came all the way running and stopped at his hospital room. You were panting you stopped to get an inhaler then walked inside. You saw Kirito lying in bed badly injured he had wounds here and there covered up with bandages. A worried expression on your face as you walked up to him. He opened his eyes.

"What happened?" you asked standing beside him arms limp on your sides as you studied his figure then looked at his face.

"A fight" he says quietly

"What fight?" you ask again

"I was coming to school this morning when a gang ambushed me and beat the hell out of me. But before I fainted...I swear I saw your father there and when I opened my eyes I was here" he replies

Your father... How could he do something so cruel? You looked at Kirito with watery eyes, you didn't want to cry in front of him but you couldn't help it as tears flow down your eyes you muster up the courage to say "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry" you held your hand towards your chest and cried silently.

Kirito sat up and made you sit on the bed with him "It's not your fault" he says wiping the tears off your face.

"Of course it is if I hadn't made you come to my house you wouldn't be here. It's my entire fault that you're hurt" you cry more.

Kirito have seemed to be more hurt from your tears then his injuries. He holds you and gives you a hug "Hush now it's alright they are just scratches here and there nothing more" he pats your head

You wipe off your tears with your sleeve and look at him "I'm not buying that"

He laughs "of course you aren't but you came rushing to the hospital to see me does that count that you like me?"

You turn redder and you were already red from crying "Shut up I only came because I was worried"

"I'm not buying that either" he smiles his devilish smiles.

You puff your cheeks and look away "whatever I don't care"

"But I like you" he says now with a true smile you look at him surprised and then again turn your attention elsewhere.

"Stop joking Kirito I know you must hate me" you say playing with your fingers.

"I'm serious. I really like you (Name)" he says a little louder

You pat your cheeks as the heat strokes it you quickly get up with a face like a tomato "Your head must be spinning from all the events occurred today. I think you should rest now. I'll see you tomorrow at school" you bow a little and leave the hospital room.

Kirito was smiling as he sat on the bed, you really were like a storm that came into his life out of nowhere.

'It must be a dream tell me its just a dream!' you thought as you walked out of the hospital. But it was all reality and Kirito said he liked you. But that wouldn't be that like right? He must mean as a friend yea that's it just a friend.
