The Breaking Point - Kirisuna

In This World and All The Others

"What do you mean he fell out of love with you?" he pats the armchair on his throne after sitting back down. He wasn't going to make me stand before him and grovel which was nice.

He scooted to the side so he could have enough room to turn his head and look at me. I sat politely and crossed my legs to adjust my skirt.

"Real life Kirito is engaged to Asada. Sinon if you will. I saw it happen." I snickered a bit because the look on the man's face was hilarious. He looked so disheveled.

"Me? And Sinon? In front of you????"

"Mmhmm."

"I'm so confused. The last time I spoke to him, he said he didn't want to be with anyone else."

"HE DID?" I put my leg down to slap my thighs at the news. "WHEN DID HE SAY THIS?"

"A few weeks ago. I told him to cherish you because I know what it's like to be without the one you love. He said he would."

My excitement died down. I was up here complaining. The Kirito in front of me had been grieving. It looks like he still is.

"How inconsiderate of me. Excuse my behavior. How have you been?"

Black eyes looked at me with love. Eyes I was familiar with.

"I've been sad for a while. The feeling is off and on. But I'm really happy to see you now."

It was a really small thing, seeing me. I must be hormonal because I couldn't control my cry.

"How long has it been since you've seen me."

"It's been more than 30 years. Why are you crying?" Smooth palms wiped the drops off my flushed face and brushed away the front strands of my hair that stuck to it.

Our eyes locked. I held back more waterworks when he did. It must have been so lonely. 200 plus years by someone's side then they're gone. And he was still as sweet as ever.

"I'm sorry." I slid off the arm of the throne to put myself in his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck securely.

"There is no need to apologize, you did nothing wrong." He held me back.

Even the way he smelled, was just like Kazuto. He felt like Kazuto, like my best friend. I didn't want to let go of him. Was that wrong?

"I'm sorry I left you here alone. I promise I'll come to visit you here more often."

"Asuna. This is why in every universe we are in, in this world and all the others, I will always love you. Even if you're not the Asuna I've been with, I still love you because you're you. You always think about others. You let Kazuto be with other women because you didn't want to invalidate their feelings. You wanted him to be sure he was happy despite your wishes. And here you are comforting me when you're heart is broken. That is one of many reasons why I love you." He squeezed me a little harder.

To hear the love of my life say that to me... it meant everything. The weight on my shoulders lifted.

"No. That's what you taught me to do. I love you, Kirito. It was you who shaped the person I am today. I mean, you wouldn't have even been trapped here for 200 years if it weren't for you putting everyone first. My greatest example of love and selflessness was you."

King Kirito reached his hands back to meet mine. My hands were brought to his chest. I guess he liked them there because he held them there tightly. We were face to face again.

"I know this is a wild request. And the time passes differently here so you won't be here long but... Would you spend the night with me?"

"Uh-"

"I know I know. It's weird. I just... could really use your company."

"The last time you wanted a sleepover, we both had different ideas of what was going to happen."

We both chuckled at the embarrassing memory. I stripped down in the dark just for Kirito to be shy.

"HA! It's been ages since then.", to me, it was only a few years ago. "We don't have to do anything but sleep in the same bed. Will you stay the night with me?"

Was this wrong? Was it wrong to love both Kiritos as separate entities? Could I consider them the same person?

I don't know. I think I should say no.

"Yes".

A/N: Am I putting ki boi in a love triangle with himself? Yes, yes I am. I think I'll complete this book at ch.40 so I'm drawing this out for you guys.

Also, I have a crazy idea... I'm thinking of including a W|W relationship or "flirtationship". No one's really done it but I watched WOU and they had a cute moment together...

How do we feel about Alice x Sinon >:)? I'd be happy to write any other couple together too.
