Trust Issues;

"I don't want anything to do with you, or her." He sighed grabbing me by the shoulders,
"Asuna!" He shouted, causing me to flinch.
"Kirito! your hurting me!" I stated while wincing from the pressure of his hands.
he looked down frowning.
"I never meant to hurt you.."
"I know you didn't, and I know you don't love her.." He looked up smiling. I looked at him and sighed.

'I'm sorry kirito..'

"but she's my sister, and my father, and my mother, they all deserve you, not me."
He looked at me confused.
"elaborate." I nodded slowly.
"She loves you, she trusts you."
He nodded.
"still confused." I huffed.
"I can't take that away from her, you're the first person she's talked to, like that, in over three years. to take that away from her would be.. horrible."
"But I love you! not her!" My eyes widened.
"You... L-love me!?" He nodded smiling.

I shook my head,
"were?"
"What..?"
"were is this 'love' you keep talking about? I don't see it, I can't touch it, I don't feel it!" I shouted, I'm lying. I love you too, Kazuto..
"A-Asuna I--"
"No Kazuto.." He looked at me with a sad look. I can't do this anymore, it's to much!
"I... I.. I love you too, but I can't... it's all too.. real. and I won't take you away from sinon."

I stated walking past him. he turned around, I just know he did. But me being the naive girl I am. just kept walking, tears stung my eyes, I love you to... so.. so.. much.

and in that moment I remembered something he had told me.

"if you love something.. fight for it."
"then I'll fight for you!" He smiled.
"and I too." we just sat there staring at each other. for a long time.

my eyes widened.
"I broke my promise!" I stated running back.
but it was to late. sinon was already there.
and they were kissing.

he had given up on me!

....

just like I did to him..

"I love you." I whispered as I slowly stepped back, making sure not to intervene.

"and I always will.."
