Falling in love with my teacher (KiritoxAsuna)

Chapter 36.-Painful truth.

Kirito and Asuna ate together after a few days of not having. It was for that very reason that the food tasted much better than before, which gave them one more reason not to lose the habit of those encounters.

They were now playing cards after clearing the table and dishes. Interestingly, it was Kirito's turn, but his body was there, his mind was not. He was thinking about what had happened the previous two days regarding Alice.

-It's your turn. –Asuna warned when she saw that he didn't react. -Hey ... are you paying attention to me?

-Sorry! ... I have a matter I'm thinking about.

-Isn't it about a woman? -She asked with a suspicious look.

-Not at all! –In his eyes the lie was betrayed, so Asuna put the cards aside, taking his hands.

-Insurance?

-O well ... I think Alice is flirting with me. No, I am convinced that it does!

-But wasn't she in love with Eugeo?

Kirito had to tell him about the incident between Eugeo and Yuuki during the games, getting her a real surprise, especially by the fact of the shouting match.

-Wow ... but right there she said it, why are you convinced that she's flirting with you?

-She doesn't talk much with the boys, she only does it with me and him. And if she had those "approaches" clearly Eugeo would have told me to make sure her efforts were working.

-But the detail is that he is very shy. What if he kept those details to himself?

-Impossible, Eugeo would have seen it on his face. To say that he was stunned by a simple kiss on the cheek is a lot to say, I am convinced that it is not so.

-Don't feel too gallant. I think you are exaggerating things. I liked you and I never showed you many gestures of love, so it may be the same with Alice.

-We will never know until Eugeo does not dare to propose to Alice to know what she says. The truth is that I try to convince him but he doesn't want to.

-With this matter settled ... let's get back to the game. –Asuna had a little vermouth while taking her cards.

-Same here. -They both continued playing and downplayed the matter.

Since that day he practically humiliated him, Eugeo hadn't spoken to Alice again, he didn't feel like doing so after that time.

He kept wondering if what he called "that cruel game" was worth continuing because it was so painful for his heart. If Alice really wanted to talk to him as it happened at some point before the misunderstanding with Yuuki, it would have already happened, but nothing ever came.

That saddened him a bit, for the same reason that he ate less at the academy, which his friends realized.

-Were you satisfied? -Yuuki asked when he saw that the break was about to end and Eugeo had only ¼ of the bowl of rice.

-I'm not really hungry...

-It's for her, right?

-Maybe, just.

-Poor you ... -Yuuki moved to Eugeo's bench to give him a hug ... the poor boy answered it with enough need.

-Maybe I should give up all this crap of love ... twelve damn years waiting and now that I will not see her again in my life it occurs to me to try. Every day that passes is one that I lose in order to be with her. I should accept that it was all a miserable fantasy.
