(Kazuto)

I log out and I am met by two fierce eyes glaring at me.

"What a pleasant way to greet someone," I said sarcastically. Suguha continued to glare.

"You took more than seven minutes," she spat. I couldn't help but laugh, if only she knew.

"And enjoyed every minute," I sang gleefully. Suguha sat on my bed and glared some more.

"What are you and Shino?"

"What are we? Friends," I answered simply.

"Friends don't do what you two were doing," she hissed,  blushing a bit. I raised an eyebrow.

"True but you guys shoved us in there. What did you think would happen? We'd just talk?" I laughed, because in reality, that's all we did.

"Well... Yeah!" She replied, turning a deeper shade of red. Her hand was griping my bed sheets and she began to bite her lip nervously.

"Kazuto," she mumbled. Oh no.

"Yes sweet sibling of mine," I replied. I noticed the word sibling snaps her out of it.

"Oh, never mind," she pouted and got up. She stormed out my room, red as a tomato. I lay my head back down in my pillow with my arm resting behind my head and took a deep breathe.

To be honest I'd much prefer to be in ALO right now, but Yui's asleep and emotionally unstable right now and Shino was to tired to hang out tonight. And Asuna, well...

I look over to my phone and turn it on to find death threats from my friends. How lovely. All which mention what happened in the closet.

I go to Asuna's contact and began to text, I know I shouldn't. But...

Me: (Hey)

I waited for an hour for a reply, and finally got one.

Asuna: (What do you want?)

I frown, that sounds pretty harsh.

Me: (I wanted to know if you were okay)

She took five minutes to reply.

Asuna: (I'm fine Kazuto. How's Yui?)

Not asking how I'm doing...

Me: (She cried after you left. Leafa put her to bed. She seems heartbroken right now)

Asuna: (Oh...)

Me: (Maybe she'd feel better if you came by...)

Asuna: (Tell her I'll come by in a week or so,)

I bit my lip. Should I ask?

Me: (Would you be married by then?)

Asuna took ten minutes to reply.

Asuna: (I doubt it. Weddings take a while to prepare for. I still have to meet my suitor.)

I was relieved, but why? She made it obvious she can't be with me. Maybe if I can convince her...

Me: (When exactly would you get married? If you had to estimate)

Asuna: (I don't know, at least a few months. No big rush)

Asuna: (Why?)

Me: (Just curious. I'll tell Yui, that should make her feel better.)

Asuna: (I have to go)

Me: ( Bye Asuna. Good night)

Asuna: (Bye)

I almost typed I love you. Its an instinct. Glad I didn't, she wouldn't face me again if I did.

But I really wanted to. I grab my phone and place it on my chest, and closed my eyes. Then it began to vibrate. I groan and look and see its Shino.

Shino: (You awake?)

Me: (Yeah, I'm surprised you are)

Shino: (I'm about to go to bed but wanted to know if you had plans tomorrow?)

If I had plans? Usually I would go out with Asuna. But that's not gonna happen.

Me: (Not really, why?)

Shino: (Well I have nothing important to do tomorrow and I don't want to spend it alone)

Me: (Well I have no plans, what did you have in mind?)

Shino: (I need to buy some new clothes. I know its a girly thing to ask you to do, but would you go with me?)

I flinched at the word shopping. I look over to my closet, mostly all black. I can always get more...

Me: (Well you're nothing like Suguha, Rika, or Keiko. They take HOURS)

Shino: (Lol I'll take that as a yes?)

Me: (Count me in)

Shino: (Great! I'll come over at 12pm. Be ready by then)

Me: (Picking ME up? Aren't you such the gentle lady 😆😍😳)

Shino: (Don't make me regret asking you.)

Me: (I would never 😱)

Shino: (Ok. See you tomorrow. Goodnight.)

Me: (Sweet dreams~ 😪)

I sighed happily. I'm glad Shino invited me. I wouldn't be so alone either. I lay my phone on the counter next to my bed and prepared for sweet slumber.

(Third person)

But what Kazuto wasn't aware of is later that night Suguha sneaked in his room when he was sleeping.

She took his phone and saw the messages between him and Shino, and mischievously decided to invite everyone to this "date".

***************************

(Kazuto)

I woke up to the suns rays hitting my face. I got dressed in casual attire and looked at the time. Just in time. 12:00

A knock came from the front door. Shino. I walk over to see Suguha about to answer the door.

"Its okay Suguha, I'll get it," I called out to her. She smiled mischievously at me.

"No no, I got it," she replied in a sweet manner. She opened the door and on the other side was Rika, Keiko, Klein and a confused looking Shino.

"Uh, hi guys," I said, clearly confused. I look at Shino and she shrugged in confusion.

"I hope you don't mind but I invited them to go on a shopping spree!" Suguha chimed. I glare at her.

"You went through my text messages," I stated. She gasped.

"I would never!" She looked offended.

"Let's go shopping!" Keiko said excitingly.

"Don't worry Shino, I'll help ya look for new outfits," Klein reassured. Shino politely smiled and nodded. Rika raises an eyebrow at the two.

"Hey Kirito, would you help me find new outifts?" Rika asked, pouting. I laughed nervously and look over to Shino who just sighed and nodded.

"Sure," I reply as she jumped for joy. I'm such a wimp. I look over at Shino. She knew I was sorry.

"So Klein, be honest with me okay, I need some new outfits" Shino said, with Klein nodding in agreement. Since when did Klein become interested in Shino?

"Let's go, sweet sibling of mine," she chimed. I grab my jacket with a bitter look on my face. This will take HOURS.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Authors note: Sorry guys, I was planning on making this chapter longer but decided to save the rest for the next chapter. Hopefully you like it so far. I'm open to listen to any suggestions.

Lol if anyone out there is reading. I love SinonxKirito and low key KleinxSinon, but that's not my main ship! 😅😆 and I'm trying to make this as realistic as possible.

I don't just want them to kiss in the first chapter, sorry if I disappoint. So Kirito might take a while to finally get over Asuna. Anyway, thank you for reading! (If anyone is reading)

Until Next Time!
