Through Thick and Thin

Sunny Days

Days with Kazuto were always amazing. There were little worries and they consisted of what we were going to do. I liked going somewhere, since I hated staying at home for too long. Even if it was just the park or a beach. This time we decided to go to the forest. Kazuto wanted to try his new sword out and he figured it was the best place to do so. Plus, one of our fondest memories was in one. It was where we met Yui for the first time and took her in. She's been gone for a while now, but now and again she'll return in my memory.

"Asuna?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you alright? You seem a bit sad."

"Oh, yeah! I am fine! I was just thinking about Yui."

"Soon enough she'll be with us. In the real or virtual. You just have to give me some more time."

"I know, but I occasionally think about her. And, what if she's lonely?"

"Well, I don't know. But I do know she won't be for very long. I have talked to some of my friends about it and it is in the working right now. Soon, she will be with us all the time. It might take a couple months to a few years, but we have each other. Just hold on for a little while longer."

"This is why I am in love with you, Kazuto. You always find a way to minimize my worries. Even though sometimes it can be pretty difficult. I hope I can do the same for you someday."

"Asuna, you do already. You gave me motivation to go on. I kept fighting in SAO, ALO, and GGO all for you. And, I'd do it again." 

"Ok, ok. That's very sweet, but... before we go into another game how about we do it together this time?" 

"Sounds perfect."
