SAO drabbles ~

Asuna's expecting | chapter two

"I've never done this subject myself, but I'll do my best to be some help to you, Suguha, also I'm touched that you asked me for help."  Asuna replies. 

Suguha blinks in slight confusion, then upon noticing Rika making hand gestures for Suguha to continue the plan, she nervously clears her throat, nodding back at Asuna, smiling.

"So Suguha, what topic is it you would like my advice for?" Asuna happily inquires.

"W-what topic?...ermm...the topic's about-"

"Pregnancy!" Yells Rika, interrupting Suguha.

Asuna chuckles softly while looking at Rika then back at Suguha. 

"A-Ah is that so?"

Suguha nods eagerly and quickly, yet in slight confusion.

"Mhm, yes, please, teach me that?"

Suguha smiles while Rika sits besides Asada and Keiko, grinning, giving Suguha a thumbs up.

"Well...that just happened." Asada comments.

Keiko watches in suspense, nervously munching on a chocolate bar at the same time.

"Asuna, there's an essay Suguha has to write, about a case study of a girl admitting pregnancy to her parents, so we thought a roleplay might help her, you know, it'll make it...err...more realistic?" 

Asuna turns to Rika in surprise.

"You're absolutely right, Rika!"

"Okay Suguha, you can be the mum of the pregnant girl, Asuna, you be the pregnant girl, alright?"

Asuna raises an eyebrow at this.

"But Rika, wouldn't it make sense if I play the part of the mother since I'm older then Suguha?"

"N-no, because, errmm...because you're already a mother to Yui...so, it's only fair that Suguha  plays the role of the mum, don't you think so, girls?" 

Suguha nods eagerly at this, Keiko and Asada also nod.

Asuna shrugs and smiles.
"Hmmm...I suppose that makes some kind of sense...alright, Suguha, are you ready?"

Suguha nods eagerly again.

Within a split second, Rika orders Asada and Kiko to clear the chairs away so that Suguha and Asuna were sitting in front of one another, in a more spacious environment.

"Alright, let the roleplay commence!" Yells Rika, full of excitement and energy for her prank to commence.

As Asuna prepares herself by getting into character, Rika sprints over to a nervous and confused looking Suguha who nervously squirms in her chair, which somehow goes unnoticed by Asuna.

"Rika, I don't wanna do this, I-I don't even know what to say!" Suguha hisses quietly.

Rika pats her back before whispering to her, "You got this, just ask her questions related to pregnancy and throw in a bit about Kazuto so we can get some realistic sounding reactions, alright?"

As Suguha nods nervously and Rika runs back to the other two girls watching in suspense, Asuna faces Suguha, ready to begin their roleplay.

Asuna begins.

She looks at Suguha with a nervous guilty expression on her face, using a nervous and quiet voice for her character. 

"Mother?... I need to tell you-"

Suguha, in a panic, softly gasps while waving her hands around nervously.

"H-Hold on Asuna!"

Asuna jumps from being startled.

"W-What's wrong Suguha?"

She smiles softly while letting out a small giggle. 

"Did you get too nervous just now?"

Suguha nervously laughs while Rika, who started recording audio from her phone, facepalms herself.

"I-Its just, Asuna, how did you tell Kazuto you, errr...you wanted to..keep Yui when you first found her in the forest all those years ago?"

"O-Oh, that's kind of random, but all I did was look into Kirito's eyes and said to him, "Kirito, I'm worried about this girl's family..." Asuna replies, in such a kind and soft tone that Rika had recorded.

"Yes, got it!" Rika whispers to herself.

Pleased with the tone Asuna had said Kazuto's name in, Rika motions to Suguha to resume the roleplay.

"...you sounded so concerned for Yui... Asuna, wanna continue the roleplay?"

Asuna blushes slightly and nods.

"Mhm, of course!"

Suguha clears her throat before Asuna starts.

"I have something I need to tell you, mother," Asuna says, in a quiet tone, sounding serious as well as ashamed and embarrassed.

Rika was getting what she wanted, and more, by how Asuna realistically made her character sound.

"My daughter, what is it?" Suguha responds with.

"Well...-

Asuna decides to add a long pause for the effect of suspense and to make the situation feel more realistic  in the way how Asuna awkwardly sat in silence as her character, mustering up the courage to tell her 'mother' the news, not knowing how her 'mother' would react from the news she was about to tell.
