In Love With Kirito.... Kirito X Reader

Chapter One- Meeting him.

Reader POV

Slowly, I opened my eyes. The sun was gleaming brightly in the sky, almost blinding to even look at for a few seconds. I pushed myself up, shaking my hair out my face, rustling it into place with my hands. I sighed as I stood, brushing the grass off my skirt. It seems I chose a good day to rest; the warmth of the light seemed to be better than every other day. Glancing at the time icon, I realised it was about time to get back home.

I walked along the streets, smiling politely at every person who glanced my way. I closed my eyes for a moment as I breathed in the scent of the freshness and gardens of the houses that were nearby. It smelt like home. Just as I opened them again, my left foot caught upon something, sending me tumbling forwards. Bracing myself, I prepared for the impact of me hitting the hard concrete pavement. However, that never happend. Instead, I fell against something firm but warm. Squinting slightly, I saw that it was a guy. He had caught me in his arms. He had jet black hair, wearing a coat of midnight. He glanced down at me, looking concerned. Blushing, I got back up on my feet, apologising vigorously.

"Don't worry about it!" He laughed, " I'm Kirito. Glad to be of help." After saying these words, Kirito started walking off in a different direction! How RUDE!

"Hey! Kirito?" I called out to him, running up to him. "Please, let me introduce myself. I am u/n and I'm 15. Please, let me buy you a meal in thanks." Kirito smiled at me gently, but tried to reject my offer. The poor guy, didn't know how stubborn I could be. In the end, I just grabbed his arm and dragged him to the nearest restaurant.

"Fine. I guess I will order the stew. Thanks u/n, you really don't have to do this, I can pay!" Kirito tried to insist.

"No, I may be short on col but I have just enough to buy us each a meal." The truth was,I couldn't afford to pay my rent. I had high levels, I was a skilled fighter but I had given my money away to a player who still hadn't leveled up above 15. It was clear they were seriously struggling so I had to help them. I glanced away, hoping Kirito wouldn't notice the thoughts that were running through my head. He looked at me, concerned once again. Damn. I had only just met this guy and he already thinks I'm useless.

"Do you have a place to stay u/n. There's no point trying to lie to me either, I can spot a liar from a mile off!" Kirito said all this in a stern voice, showing there was no arguing with him. Nervously, I shook my head. I refused to look him straight in the eyes. Just then, he said something that caught me off guard.

"In that case, you can stay at my place. I can sleep on the couch in the living room, you can have the bed."

"B - b - but I've only just met you! You don't need to help me out! " when I said this, Kirito looked away this time and insisted that I agreed with him. Turned out he could be as stubborn as me! Eventually, I caved in and allowed him to pay for the meals and agreed to go with him.

"Fine. But only if you tell me why you insist!" I pleaded, feeling slightly suspicious. Why else would a guy help me out when they don't even know me unless there's some personal gain hidden SOMEWHERE?

"I made a deal with someone that I would help out anyone who needed it. Also... you seem to be interesting!" As he said thus last thing, Kirito brought up his menu and clicked a few times. Suddenly, a bubble appeared in front of me.

Kirito invites you to join
His party. Will you team with
Him?

Yes no

Surprised at Kirito request to join him, I hesitantly clicked yes. Kirito smiled gently at me and payed for our meals. Looked like we were a team now! Standing up, Kirito led me down the streets to his home.

"This way pleased miss!" Kirito said in a joking tone, making me laugh. He opened up the door to a home and I followed him inside slowly. It was simple but nice. Kirito looked slightly self concious as he showed me around.

We both sat on the sofa to talk for a little while. I felt my eyelids grow heavy and slipped into unconsciousness before I realised it.

Kirito POV

I glanced over at u/n. She had fallen asleep! I guess she must of been exhausted. She looked like she's had a tough couple of days. I picked her up carefully in my arms and took her to my room. I couldn't let her sleep on the sofa! As I held her and walked slowly so not to wake her, she murmured in her sleep and nuzzled her head into me. For some reason, a smile crept across my face. I lay her down gently, brushing her hair out of her face. Silently, I covered her with a blanket to keep her warm. Almost instantly, she curled up and wrapped it tightly around her. She looked so peaceful in to her sleep. Closing the door softly behind me, I went back to the living roo, to sleep on the sofa. I smiled remembering her laugh from earlier and her peaceful face. It felt nice to not be alone anymore. I could finally share my adventures with someone... With these thoughts running through my head, I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Hope you enjoyed my first chapter! I will be uploading a second one soon. Please leave your opinions on the story for me so I can take all you're feedback into account xx
