Kirito x Reader ~ If Only

Chapter 5

(A/N)- New chappie so enjoy.

Kirito's POV

I sprinted after the tapping footsteps that were now increasingly softer. The patter fading, the fact it was still there filled me with anxiety at the thought of what might have happened to (Y/N). My heart pounding of my chest and I chased after the sound wishing for the best. I came to the conclusion that she was kidnapped and was now panicking.

I turned a corner and came face to face with a cafe...

__________________________________________________________________________________

This is not right I screamed in my head. I peered in through the door and fell down at the sight of (Y/N) eating a huge strawberry parfait covered in chocolate, surrounded by ice cream, hot fudge running down the side all stuffed into one huge parfait glass. Next to her was a maid holding Caramel Slice dipped in chocolate side by side with a glass of strawberry milkshake. I sighed and picked myself up while making my way to the (H/C) haired girl.

I steadied myself to give her a piece of my mind as I took a seat across from her.

"Don't ever do that again, you had me worried you know." I spoke trying to keep my eye from twitching.

"Well you should have payed more attention." She shouted with her mouth filled.

She pushed her plate of caramel slice towards me and her gaze told me to take it. I took a forked and my eyes sparkled as I dipped my fork through the centre of the delicious treat. The taste was painfully sweet with smooth edges filled with Caramel.

Placing my fork down. I realized why (Y/N) wanted to come here. (Y/N) finished eating and opened her menu to pay the bill instead I had already beaten her to it.

"Think of it as IOU, and don't think too much of it." I hastily said.

She smiled and stood up, pulled my arms and walked out with me right behind her.

We walked to a open field and sat down on the grass. My brain was empty as I tilted my head up to the clouds exploring the virtual sky above. A thought came to me and wondered whether asking was the right question. But I had the courage so I opened my mouth.

"Nee (Y/N) this may be sensitive but what was it like back in the real world for you?" I questioned.

"Hmmmm I have a older brother and parents who were murdered by my aunt, my brother is apparently somewhere gone off on his own in this death game so yeah why?" She explained.

"Have you seen your brother since?" I asked.

"He hates my guts and I guarantee if I even if he catches a glimpse of me HERE he will kill me." She shivered silently

"How do you get by at home just living with your brother?" I was starting to get worried.

"He works I work but I wonder what will happen when we return and if anybody has even noticed we are stuck here, guess not nobody cares. It's better if I just di.." She whispered with her voice almost but not yet cracking.

"NO DONT EVER THINK LIKE THAT I AM HERE DONT EVER DOUBT YOUR EXISTENCE!"

"YOU DONT KNOW EVEN KNOW ME. I NEVER HAD FRIENDS, EVERYONE DESPISED ME CAUSE I RELIED TOO MUCH ON OTHERS MY FAMILY WAS ALL COUNTED AS MURDERS, SO STOP ACTING LIKE MY FRIEND!" She yelled with tears now streaming down her face.

(Y/N) turned her head away and soft whimpers were heard. I was shocked as (Y/N) had her head buried in her knees and I was trying to comprehend what on earth just happened.

I grasped her shoulder and leaned into her ear and whispered.

"If you don't want to tell me then don't, but who are you really?" I cautiously spoke trying to see whether those choice of words were really suitable for the atmosphere.

I heard her gasp and she stood up while dragging her arm across her face and turned around. She forced a smile and then knelt down to where I was sitting and wrapped her delicate arms around me.

"I'm sorry, just forget this happened. I'm fine so you don't need to worry." (Y/N) whispered.

I blinked at the sudden change of her and I wrapped my arms around her petite body. She broke loose of my grip and jumped up while stretching a second later.

"Now lets go look around for that boss room tomorrow shall we." She stated as we walked into town to find an inn.

We were walking through a stamped of people and I noticed people talking about a meeting tomorrow. I rapidly turned to (Y/N) and she nodded. We slipped behind a stall and overheard something about a meeting, about some players finding the boss room. Only the strongest were advised to go. The meeting was held by some guy called Diabel.

"So Kirito what do you wanna do?" (Y/N) questioned.

"Let's check this out!" I responded.

We checked into an inn and bought ourselves two separate rooms as (Y/N) insisted for her privacy. After doing all my stuff I arrived at (Y/N)'s door to go over what happened today. I tapped on her door and was greeted by girl in a plain blue dress with her locks falling over her shoulders.

"I-I well I was wondering if you were ok after what happened before?" I sheepishly said while scratching the back of my neck.

"Don't worry about me, my life was a mess anyways and I prefer you not meddling in my life please." She yawned.

"Night Kirito" she tiredly said with her lids covering most of her eyes.

"Goodnight (Y/N) and don't forget tomorrow, have to be up early" I reminded her as she closed the door.

Dragging my feet to my room, I opened my door and questioned myself why (Y/N) looked like someone I know. Have we met before? I shook my head at the thought and closed my eyes.

(A/N)- Well that's all for chapter five. Always vote, fave and follow. Bye my beautiful readers.
