*Do not play the music yet!*

(YN)'s POV:

"(YN), will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. My heart rate speeds up dramatically as the words left Kirito's gentle lips. Hearing only distant voices and my heart pounding in my ears; I do what I chose reasonable to answer his question...: I kiss him. He's startled at first, but then kisses me back, and as we pull away for air, I rest my forehead on his.
"Does that answer your question?" I ask him with a bright smile planted on my lips. I felt Kirito's hand brush some of my (HC) locks out of my face, brushing them behind my ear. He kissed my forehead then pulled me back to small area where everyone was finishing up dancing.

When the night came to a close, everyone was getting their things together, leaving in large groups. I saw Liv and Max nearby and grabbed Kirito's hand, pulling him over. I heard him chuckle as I did so. "Max? Liv? Come on you two, lets go." I said to them. They both looked up at me and smiled sleepily. Max took Kirito's other hand while Liv took my other and the four of us walked towards the inn.

When we got there, the siblings were dragging their feet along and rubbing their eyes. "Come on then you two, let's get you to bed." I took Liv to our room and Kirito took Max to theirs. Liv changed into her night clothes and got into her bed. "Night Liv." I said and kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight mummy..." She replied before drifting off into her slumber.

I left the bedroom and headed to the bathroom. I took a small cloth, wet it with cold water and dabbed it over my face. I left the small room after a while and changed into my night clothes. I slipped into bed and darkness consumed me.

Kirito's POV:

I woke the next morning rather early. Max was still asleep. I put my normal clothes and armour on and knocked on the girls door. There was no reply so I opened it slightly. I saw Liv and (YN) still asleep I smiled to myself and shut the door. I headed out the inn and went out into the market.

In the market, it was surprisingly busy for the time. I walked through it for a while before someone grabbed my hand. I turned around quickly and saw Asuna. I glared daggers at her, but she either didn't notice, or didn't care. "What do you want." I seethed.
"I want you to give me a chance. I can prove I'm better than whatever her name is." She pouted.
"It's (YN) and no. I only love her. All you've done is hurt her!" I pointed out.
"But I've changed!" She tried to persuade me.
"I don't believe you. Now leave me alone!" I forced my hand out her grasp and walked away.

I didn't feel her presence leave. It was following me wherever I went, meaning she was. I turned back around to face her and she was smiling like a physco. "Leave me alone already!" I shouted at her.
"No dear. No one takes me away from what I want!" She laughed. I glared at her and watched as she turned around, walking in the opposite direction. I sighed in relief and carried on my way.

The only time I stopped was when I saw something that caught my eye. 'Lodge for sale.' I walked towards it and saw that it wasn't too pricy. "Young man, you seem interested." An older man said to me.
"Yes sir." I replied.
"If you give me a good reason, I'll reduce the price for you. How 'bout that?" I smiled at the man and said,
"Myself and my girlfriend have kind of adopted two kids. We have to keep switching inn to inn every night. I guess I decided it was probably best if we actually got a place to stay permanently." I concluded.
"Good for you lad. Well, a deal is a deal. I'll reduce the price to 75,000 col." I raised my eyebrows as if I didn't believe him. A screen popped up and asking if I accepted the deal and I clicked the blue 'O'.

Two sets of keys appeared in my inventory and I saw the house number for the lodge. I smiled and nodded at the man and walked back to the inn. I arrived at it and entered. I went into my room and saw it was empty. Guessing Max had gone to the other room, I went next door.

I stood outside the door and heard (YN)'s voice:

*Play the music now!*

'I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me to
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Better than he can

Give me a sign
Take my hand, we'll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone
Promise I'll never let you down

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Better than he can

Better than he can'

I opened the door when she had finished and saw everyone turn to me. "Kirio! I thought you left us!" Max said.
"Sorry Max. I didn't mean to." I said smiling and messed his hair. "(YN), I have you something."
"Huh? You do?" She replied confused.
"Close your eyes and hold your hands out." I instructed. She did as I asked and I took one set of the keys out of my inventory. When I put them in her hands and she opened her eyes, the only things she said was,
"Oh Kirito... You didn't have to..." She said smiling and kissed my cheek.
