Floor 22, Kirito and Asuna's Log Cabin December 25, 2024
In a log cabin on the 22nd Floor, two people are asleep in their room, until an 11 year old girl with long raven black hair and dark chocolate eyes ran into the room and jumped on the bed.
"Mama! Papa!" the girl shouted in glee. "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"
"Yui," one of them muttered. "Why so early?"
"Because I want to open my presents, Papa!" Yui shouted, a big smile on her face.
"Alright, alright," a woman with orange-brownish chestnut colored hair assured with a small smile. "Let us get decent and we can go open presents."
"Yay!" Yui shouted, before running out of the bedroom and towards the living room.
"I do not know how she is so hyper, Kirito," the woman commented as she got up with her bare back towards Kirito.
Kirito chuckles softly and gazes at the woman in front of him lovingly.
"Neither do I Asuna, but I wouldn't change that for the world," Kirito tells her as he walks up behind her and hugs her from behind. A silver band then glints as the morning sun shines off his finger and Asuna covers his right hand with her left, a similar ring glinting off her own as well. "I love you and her, Asuna. There is nothing I would do to keep you both safe."
"What did you say, Papa?" Yui asked.
"Oh," Kirito began, "I just said that I love you and mama and that I would do anything to keep you too safe."
Yui smiled, "You're nice, Papa! I love you, too!"
Kirito and Asuna sat on the couch, holding hands. They looked towards the Christmas Tree set up in the living room and the fire place that was glowing with flames.
'This is nice,' Kirito thought, 'I can get used to this.'
Yui rushed over the tree and examined the presents carefully to figure out which ones were hers and which ones were for her Mama and Papa. She turned around, carrying a stack of three presents in her hands.
"Mama! Papa! Here are my presents!" Yui stated.
Kirito & Asuna couldn't help, but to smile. They were so thankful to have such a loving daughter.
"That's great sweetie!" Kirito & Asuna replied in unison.
Yui took a present from the stack and set it down on the table. The wrapping was red with a yellow ribbon on it. She tore through the paper to reveal a white box; she lifted the lid to reveal a neatly folded black sweater. She took it out and held it up, then a smile started to form on her face.
"Thank you, Mama!" Yui exclaimed.
Asuna replied, "You're welcome! Merry Christmas!"
Yui set her black sweater down and took another present from the stack and set it down. The wrapping was black with a white ribbon on it. She ripped the paper and uncovered a blue box with an orange ball in it. Carefully, she opened the box to free the ball from the box. It bounced out and onto the floor.
Yui cheered, "Thank you, Papa!"
"No problem, Merry Christmas!" Kirito smiled.
Yui took the final present and set it down in front of her. The wrapping was orange with a purple bow on it. She pulled apart the wrapping to reveal a packaging with translucent wrapping. She analyzed it and it was white socks.
