Floor 55: Grandzam
A short while after Kuradeel's death, we reported to Heathcliff to break the news to him. After giving our report, Heathcliff let out a sigh.
Heathcliff- I understand the situation, now I will just have to explain it to the rest of the guild.
Asuna- Also, we would all like a temporary leave of absence from the guild.
Heathcliff- Oh really? Why?
Ashtry- With what just happened, it's safe to say that Kuradeel may not be the only Laughing Coffin spy in the Knights of the Blood Oath.
Asuna- As such we have concerns about the current state of the guild. We need time to think.
Heathcliff- Very well...
Kiyo- Yes!
Heathcliff- Although... I'm positive you won't stay away from the battlefield for very long. Especially you, Kazzu.
"The hell is that supposed to mean?"
Heathcliff said nothing more as he stood up and walked out of the room. I raised my eyebrow in confusion but shrugged it off when Ashtry grabbed my hand.
Ashtry- Don't mind him, we have our leave. Let's go enjoy it.
Asuna- You guys have fun with your time, me and Kirito are going to head to Floor 22. We have a nice log cabin by the woods.
Kirito- Did you really have to tell them that?
"I bet there's a very good reason as to why you have a cabin on Floor 22."
Ashtry- You think they did it?
"Oh absolutely."
Kiyo- Did what Papa?
"I'll tell you when you're older."
Kiyo- Dang it...
Asuna- Shut up! Both of you!
We all laughed at Asuna's flustered state and left the Knights of the Blood Oath base. Kirito and Asuna split off to go enjoy their day while we walked around town to see what we could do.
Ashtry- Well you two, we have time to ourselves now. What did we want to do?
Kiyo- I'm not sure... I mostly follow Papa around...
"I'm not sure either... I've spent most of my time in this game fighting... now I don't have to fight, and I'm completely lost. Sorry."
Ashtry- No need to be sorry. Let's see if we can...
Kiyo- Mama! Papa! Look over there!
We looked over and noticed a sign for a small dance club. It was opening tonight and for the first night only, there was free admission.
Ashtry- What are the odds of that?
"Zero to none. But hey if it's free, I'll take it."
Ashtry- Cheapskate.
"Oh hush."
Kiyo- Can we go please!?
"I don't see why not."
Ashtry- Agreed. But maybe it would be better if we went without our normal clothes. Don't want people thinking we mean business there.
"Right... How about we go change and meet up back here tonight?"
Ashtry- Sounds like a plan! See you later cuties!
Kiyo- Bye Mama!
"Bye... my princess..."
Her blush spread after hearing my new pet name for her. It also earned a giggle from Kiyo.
"What?"
Kiyo- She called you cute.
"If my ears still work, she called you cute too you little brat."
I picked her up as she continued to tease me about Ashtry. I wanted tonight to be something special, and I knew a free admission to a new dance club wouldn't be enough. I smiled as a plan formed in my head. A couple hours had passed as me and Kiyo grabbed our normal clothes and readied ourselves for the night.
Kiyo- I wonder what kind of music they will play. What kind of music do you like Papa?
"I don't really have a preference little cub. If the music is catchy and has a good beat to it, I find it acceptable."
Kiyo- That's fair. I myself love slow songs. The softness behind the singer's voice and the sweetness of the lyrics. I'm a sucker for them.
"Note to self: One of Kiyo's weaknesses is slow soft music."
Kiyo- Darn it. Another weapon he can use against me.
I laughed as I removed my armor and replaced it with my normal clothes. It's been so long since I wore this outfit that it felt alien to me. I felt exposed, like someone could easily take me out. Shaking the negative thoughts off, I waited for Kiyo to finish changing. She walked out with a small pink and purple dress with a flower pin attached to her head.
Kiyo- How do I look Papa?
"You look like a little princess, little cub."
Kiyo- You think Mama will like it?
"I think Ashtry will love you no matter what you wear."
Kiyo- Thank you Papa.
"Shall we go grab her an have a good night?"
Kiyo- Yes sir!
Kiyo grabbed onto my hand and we both walked towards the meetup spot. The crowds of people looking at us, some wondering why we let our guards down in a game such as this while others smiled at us, seeing us as a loving father and daughter. I mostly ignored them. Today was a day I wanted to show Ashtry and Kiyo just how much I loved them.
Kiyo- There's Mama!
I looked up and my eyes widened, stunned by the beautiful woman in front of me. Ashtry was wearing a short knee length black cocktail dress with purple tints outlining the rims of the dress. She went through so much effort to dress up for me, while I just threw on casual clothes.
I'm pathetic...
Kiyo ran up to Ashtry and collided into her with a hug, which she responded back with. She looked up at me and smiled. I looked away in embarrassment.
Ashtry- What's wrong Kazzu?
"Nothing it's just... you went through the trouble of putting on something fancy... while I'm here wearing a hoodie and black pants."
Ashtry giggled as she released Kiyo and walked over to me. Her hand finding it's place on my cheek as she softly kissed my lips.
Ashtry- I don't care what you look like Kazzu. In fact, I'm surprised you didn't show up with your armor.
"To be fair, I still have it in my inventory should things go wrong."
Ashtry- Well I feel more protected already.
We shared a laugh as she wrapped her hands around my arm, Kiyo grabbing onto my free hand. We then proceeded to head to the newly formed dance club. Upon arriving there, we noticed a long line being held back by two bouncers.
Ashtry- Jeez... just opened tonight and yet they're already popular.
"Free entry plus dance music. I'm shocked the line isn't longer."
Kiyo- How long will it take to get in Papa?
I thought for a second. Maybe I could convince the bouncers to let us in without having to wait in line. It would be a dick move to the rest of the people waiting but...
Screw it...
I walked up to the bouncers with Ashtry and Kiyo in hand. The line that we were passing was surprisingly calm. They glanced at us with smiles and small claps.
"That's new..."
Kiyo- Usually people would start throwing things at us...
The bouncers saw us approach and immediately moved out of the way for us with smiles on their faces.
Bouncer #1- Enjoy your visit!
Bouncer #2- We are grateful for all that you three do!
"What are you...?"
Bouncer #1- We heard about what you did on Floor 74.
Bouncer #2- We kind of opened this club because of what you and your friends did.
Bouncer #1- We are honored to have such esteemed guests here with us.
This sounded too good to be true, but I couldn't sense a hint of deception on them. Still cautious, I walked inside with my two girls.
Kiyo- Whoa...
Ashtry- This looks awesome...
The dance floor was crowded with people enjoying music in their own space. The bass of the music loud enough to shake our bodies as the vibrations surrounded or feet. Kiyo wasted no time as she moved a small distance away from us and started dancing, motioning us towards her. We shrugged and joined our daughter. Ashtry seemed a little shy about dancing in front of people, until I grabbed onto her hands and started to twirl her around.
Ashtry- Whoa!
"Just relax. Let the music take over."
She smiled and did just that. She stopped worrying about the people around her and just focused on me, Kiyo and dancing. Her moves were quick, just like in combat. She matched every move I made and countered with something that gave a little more flair.
"See? You're a natural."
Ashtry- So are you! I never knew you could dance.
"I normally don't. This is the first time I've been out dancing."
Ashtry- Well you and Kiyo are real pros.
Kiyo- Thanks Mama!
The music kept blaring, and we kept dancing. After a solid half hour of dancing our hearts out, Ashtry and Kiyo decided to take a break. I, on the other hand, had another idea. I vanished into the crowd, hoping to put my plan into action. The girls had found seats and were looking for me.
Kiyo- Did Papa get lost?
Ashtry- It wouldn't surprise me sweetheart. The crowd is wild tonight.
Suddenly, the music stopped. The crowd halted their dance and looked around confused. A microphone kicked on as someone stepped onto a nearby stage.
Announcer- Please excuse the sudden interruption ladies and gentlemen, but we have a very special guest to welcome on stage.
Kiyo- Oh! A guest singer!
Ashtry- Wonder who it could be...
Announcer- He's helped conquer three quarters of the game in hopes to stop his father's madness once and for all. Some love him, some hate him, but here he is a hero to us all. Please welcome: Kazzu Akihiko!
The crowd cheered as I walked out on stage. Kiyo started clapping, Ashtry looked at me with a sweet smile. I winked back at her which earned me a blush crawling on her cheeks.
"Thank you all for welcoming me into this establishment. For most of my time in Sword Art Online, me and my daughter Kiyo have been forced out of towns just because of my relations to my father."
The crowd booed at the fact that we were forced to live in dangerous environments. Ashtry rubbed Kiyo's head.
"It wasn't until a short while ago that I met someone who changed my life for the better. She looked at me and saw not a monster, but a partner, a companion, a lover... she's with us right now along with my daughter. And if she would be so kind as to join me on stage, I have a song I would like to sing to her."
The crowd cheered as Ashtry stood up slowly from her chair and joined me on stage, her face was as red as a tomato. I smiled at her as soft slow music started to kick in.
Ashtry- You had this planned from the start huh?
"Guilty as charged Ash."
Ashtry- You didn't have too Kazzu...
"I know but I wanted to."
As the music picked up, the crowd started splitting off into duos to have themselves a slow dance. I spotted Kiyo in the crowd slow dancing with a boy her age. I smiled as I turned back to Ashtry and started to sing, staring into her eyes.
"I don't know when it appeared, but I don't want to let goOf this flickering beam of light in my heartEven if I have to take a detour, even if I trip and fall, right hereForever and ever, it will be glowing..."
Ashtry gasped at my singing voice and smiled wider, her cheeks completely red and a tear falling down her face.
"I hear the distant sounds of the clock; they seem a little lonely
Trying again strongly, going high this time, and I went through it
In a reality that keeps repeating itself
I have as many wishes as the number of stars
But I've found a tomorrow that I should be aiming for
I can't go against this feeling."
I grabbed her hand and spun her around. Her hair flowing in the air along with her dress.
"An endless world opens up before my eyes
It doesn't matter if this just a dream
Even if I keep getting lost, deep inside my heart
Forever and ever, it will keep on resonating
The dream I had since the night I threw away the childish ribbon
On the glittering streets, I was spending an ideal life."
I pulled her closer to me as I kissed her cheek while she rested on my chest, her back facing me.
"Heading for the place where I'll never get hurt
I kept longing for wings, but all I need
Is really just one thing on my back that needs my protection
Colors and light are slowly filling up this world
I've decided to go with how I feel
The color of a smile, the color of an encounter
They will continue to evolve more and more."
I spun her again so that she would face me, pulling her close yet again to where our faces were inches apart.
"There is no answer, and I'm trying to find one
It's not pretty, but I can't give up
I'm sure I resemble this world, and I'll keep on believing
With your new tears, you can now see the future
But you don't have to be afraid of it
The pain in your heart and the view you've been looking for
Surely, surely, they will come together someday
Without boundaries
An endless world opens up before my eyes
It doesn't matter if this just a dream
Even if I keep getting lost, deep inside my heart
Forever and ever, it will keep on resonating
Forever and ever, it will be resonating...
Softly, softly, it will be glowing..."
Ashtry smiled as the song came to an end. I smiled back and leaned in to kiss her, hoping to feel the same spark of passion as when we first kissed. Sure enough, when she leaned in and met our lips, that exactly what I felt. In fact, this kiss was more than what I felt before. The crowd cheered us on even after we pulled away for air.
Announcer- Ladies and gentlemen: Kazzu Akihiko!
The crowd grew louder as me and Ashtry left the stage and met up with Kiyo, who seemed uninterested about something. Deciding she was probably ready to leave and getting tired, I picked her up and we all left the club.
Kiyo- Are you two ok? Why are we leaving?
"You just look tired little cub. We didn't want to stay out all night and pass out on the dance floor."
Ashtry- Plus it seemed like something was bothering you. Are you ok?
Kiyo- I'm fine Mama it's just...
Ashtry- Hm?
Kiyo- The boy I was dancing with wanted me to send him a friend request so he could talk to me more but... I told him no and he got mad.
"It's not your fault Kiyo. If you don't want to be friends with someone, you don't have to force yourself. Especially when they get mad like that."
Kiyo- The thing is Papa, I don't think he wanted to be just friends.
Realizing what she meant, I held her closer as she started to drift to sleep.
Kiyo dating...? Never thought I would ever have to deal with this problem in the game...
Ashtry- Seemed like someone had a little crush on our girl huh Kazzu?
"It seems so. I don't know whether to be happy at how she handled the situation or upset that a boy tried to hit up my daughter."
Ashtry- Don't want anyone interrupting daddy daughter dances?
"Exactly. Kiyo is my little girl, and I want to keep her that way as long as I can."
Ashtry- She'll have to grow up at some point.
"I want her to grow up in the real world... not this virtual trap."
Ashtry- I know you'll make it to where she gets to do exactly that.
She kissed me on the cheek, causing another blush to appear on our cheeks. Ashtry grabbed hold of my hand and started leading me in a different direction.
"Where are we...?"
Ashtry- I'm taking you two back to my place. It's closer and I don't want you sleeping outdoors again.
I blushed as she dragged me back to her place. The moon was beginning to rise at this point and trying to find a place in the dark was hell. I didn't have a choice to respond before we were at her door and being invited in.
Ashtry- I'll get a fire going. Set her down on the couch.
I followed her instructions and gently set Kiyo, who was fast asleep, on the couch. Ashtry placed a few logs in a fireplace and set them ablaze. Warmth started crawling up my back as I grabbed a nearby blanket and covered my daughter.
Ashtry- Getting warm?
"Yes, thank you."
Ashtry- Come join me.
I looked back and noticed her sitting near the fire, patting a spot next to her. I smiled and moved over next to her, her taking the opportunity to rest her head on my shoulder. I slowly started to stroke her hair as she nuzzled up next to me.
Ashtry- My Prince...?
"Yes, my princess?"
Ashtry- I have something to ask but... I'm embarrassed to ask it...
"Don't be. Any question you ask, I'll answer truthfully."
Ashtry- Have you ever... you know...?
I waited in silence for her to finish her sentence. I could tell she was nervous because she started to fight with her fingers.
Ashtry- Have you...? Um... Are you... a virgin?
A small blush crawled on my face, but I smiled at her as I held her closer to me.
"Yes. I'm a virgin."
Ashtry- Really? With all the girls you've been with? How?
"Don't be so surprised. Just because I surround myself with women doesn't mean I'm a ladies' man."
Ashtry- Lisbeth?
"She's a nice girl. I will admit that she has the curves and a sassy attitude, but I didn't do it with her."
Ashtry- Silica?
"As cute as she is, I see her as more of a little sister than anything. While the setting was right on the Hill of Memories, I didn't do it with her either."
Ashtry- And... Sachi...?
My heart stopped as I sighed and looked directly at the fire, remembering when me and Sachi sat in front of it the same way me and Ashtry were right now.
"Sachi... was my first love. It took me a bit to realize it but when I did, she was taken away by Keita. Not that I blame him."
Ashtry- Kazzu...
"I know it wasn't my fault, but it still stings. As for what me and Sachi did... we only slept in the same bed. Nothing more than that although I did think about doing more at the time. But... she's gone... probably dead too..."
Ashtry- I'm so sorry... I wish it was different for you two...
"As much as it hurts to say, I don't. If I had the chance to go back, I would do everything the same."
Ashtry- Why?
"Because if anything was different, I wouldn't have heard Sachi's true feeling towards me, I wouldn't have moved forward to help Silica and most importantly... I wouldn't have the chance to grow closer to you."
Ashtry- Kazzu...
"If changing anything in time meant I never had the chance to get to know you, grow with you, love you... I wouldn't change the past. I would be excited for the future."
Ashtry- You... see a future for us?
"As long as I breathe, as long as I fight, I will always be there to see us have a future Ashtry. One where I get the chance to fall in love with you in the real world."
She couldn't hold back tears any longer as she threw herself on top of me and started kissing me. My hands softly caressing her face and slowly moving down her body, stopping at her waist and avoiding any intimate parts. As we pulled back for air, I gave her a smirk.
"So, what was the reason you asked about my sex life?"
She blushed harder and hopped off of me, giving herself some room.
Ashtry- Well... I... uh...
"Ashtry... do you... want to have sex with me?"
Ashtry- You don't have to say it out loud... but...
"But...?"
She said nothing, only responding with a slow nod. She looked away shyly as she gripped the bottom of her dress.
Ashtry- I just thought... since we've known each other for a while now... and you've saved my life on multiple occasions... we could... do it... but I understand if you don't.
I said nothing as I slowly stood up and picked Ashtry up bridal style. She kept quiet as we walked to her room and locked the door.
Ashtry- Kazzu...
"Kiyo won't be able to hear us. Besides, I wanted to talk about this further."
I set her on her bed and sat next to her. Letting out a sigh, I looked back at her with a serious glare.
"Ashtry... if you don't want to have sex with me that's ok. You don't owe me anything nor do you have to repay me in anyway. You get that right?"
Ashtry- Yes...
"And I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do... you get that right?"
Ashtry- Yes... I do...
"So, are you sure? You... want to give yourself up to me?"
Ashtry- Kazzu... I don't think I've been so sure about anything in my life... I want to be yours... I want you to be mine...
I scooted closer to her, her doing the same, and leaned in closer.
"Ashtry... I'm already yours..."
Ashtry- And I am yours... my prince...
We closed the gap once again. Our lips colliding with each other and our emotions running free once again. The only thing different this time was that Ashtry started to run her hands up my hoodie, feeling me up. She pulled back for a second before laying me down on my back and continuing to caress my chest.
Ashtry- Not bad for a scrawny guy...
"I try my best."
Ashtry- Well I like it... a lot...
She kissed me once again as I ran my hands along the sides of her body, stopping at the waist and pulling her closer. Her muffled moan escaped into my lips, causing me to smirk. In a second, I flipped the tables and pinned her down to the bed, her hands trapped underneath mine.
Ashtry- Kazzu...
"Relax Ash... I'm going to be as gentle as I can and treat you like a woman tonight..."
Ashtry- That doesn't seem fair to you...
"I don't mind it one bit..."
I started to kiss her neck, her soft yelps echoing in my ear. My hands slowly raised up from her waist and slid underneath her dress, her warm skin shivering at my soft but cold touch. Slowly, I reached her bra. I didn't make a single move further until she gave me her permission.
Ashtry- Kazzu... please... it's ok...
I gently went behind her back and undid her bra, pulling it out and throwing it aside. Although they were still covered by the dress, my touch still sent shivers down Ashtry's spine. Her breasts were soft but firm. I gently groped both breasts in my hands while still kissing Ashtry's neck. Her small yelps changed to soft moans.
Ashtry- Kazzu... you... are amazing...
I silently appreciated the praise as I gave her breasts a small squeeze, causing her to moan a little louder. I pulled up from her neck and looked at her with lovingly lustful eyes.
"I'm going to go a little further, ok?"
She nodded her head as I slowly inched my way down her dress. My hand grabbing the zipper behind it and undoing it. The dress slowly fell as I went further and further down until finally, I could see Ashtry's bare chest.
"Wow..."
Ashtry- Don't... stare...
"Sorry but I can't look away. You aren't even fully nude and yet you are absolutely stunning..."
Ashtry- Well... you aren't naked either...
"In a moment, I want to make you feel special tonight. Lay back down."
Ashtry removed the dress fully, leaving her in only purple panties. As she laid back down, I continued to caress her only stopping at the edge of her undergarments. I grabbed each side and slowly pulled them down, the aroma of her hormones enticing me. I looked down to see her womanhood, slightly soaked.
"Someone enjoying themselves?"
Ashtry- Shut up... you're... really sexy ok...?
I smirked as I lowered my head to meet her entrance. Deciding to take it easy, I kissed the areas around her womanhood while caressing up and down her legs. Her moans making themselves known yet again as she tried to cover her mouth. I moved her hand away from her mouth and shook my head.
"I don't want you to be silent. I want you to sing for me..."
She blushed hard but nodded in response. Deciding the time was right, I lowered myself back to her womanhood and gave the entrance a little lick.
Ashtry- Ah...
Then another...
Ashtry- Mmh...
And another...
Ashtry- Kazzu...
Hearing my name sent me to move my mouth forward and insert my tongue inside her womanhood. Her juices spreading across my face and tongue with each lick.
She tastes like lavender...
Speeding up my actions made her moan louder. Her hands instinctively grabbing my hair and keeping my head in place.
Ashtry- Oh shit... Kazzu... don't stop... please...
Wanting to please my princess, I kept going. Her moans turning into tiny screams as her inner walls started to clench.
Ashtry- Kazzu... I'm going to...!
She didn't finish her sentence as her juices erupted in my mouth and dripped onto my face. I slowly moved my tongue back and looked at my lover, who was catching her breath.
Ashtry- I'm... sorry I... made a mess...
I responded by swallowing any of her fluid's leftover in my mouth while smirking, using my clothes to wipe off anything remaining on my face. I then crawled on top of her and kisses her neck again, causing her to moan once more.
"Are you ready?"
Ashtry- Please... promise to be gentle?
"You have my word."
I scooted back for a second as I removed my hoodie first, my skinny yet slightly toned body now making itself known. Sliding the rest of my clothes off, I crawled back on top of her. She gasped as my member slowly grazed her entrance, almost begging to go inside as it twitched.
"This is going to sting... a lot..."
Ashtry- It's ok. Just be gentle...
"I will... on the count of three, ok?"
Ashtry- Ok...
"One..."
I pushed myself inside of her as quickly and gently as possible. The suddenness surprised Ashtry as she gripped my shoulders right, almost digging her nails into my flesh.
"Sorry..."
Ashtry- It's... ok... just give me... a minute.
I stayed hovered over her, allowing her to get used to me being inside of her. She was warm and tight. The sensation alone made me want to collapse in comfort.
"You feel... really good Ash..."
Ashtry started to blush as she nodded her head, motioning me to move. I started off slow, getting a feel for her body and inching myself further into her. All the while, she was moaning in ecstasy.
Ashtry- Kazzu... you feel... amazing...
"Same to you Ash..."
Ashtry- Please... go faster...
Obeying her wishes, I picked up the pace. The sounds of our thighs hitting each other ringing in our ears and her moans getting louder.
She's going to drive me crazy. I don't know how much longer I can hold back if she keeps this up!
Her arms wrapped around my neck as she lunged forward, kissing me once again. Her moans vibrating in my mouth as she legs wrapped around my hips, pulling my body closer and allowing me to go deeper inside of her.
Ashtry- Kazzu... my prince... I love you... I love you so much...!
I stayed silent as I kissed her back, slowly nibbling her bottom lip and biting down on her neck. I picked my pace up and at this point, Ashtry was arching her back and screaming.
Ashtry- Oh fuck... yes... just like that baby!
Smirking at the nickname, I kept going. Thrust after thrust, I felt the adrenaline pump through my veins. An overwhelming feeling rising in my body. I knew the end was near.
"Ashtry... I'm... I'm about to..."
Ashtry- I am too... let's... finish together... please!
Responding to her plea, I went harder. I intended to bring this woman to satisfaction in the best way possible. Her screams of pleasure like a harmony in my ears. I held her hand down and lowered my head to the crook of her neck.
"Ashtry..."
Ashtry- Kazzu...! Kazzu...!
One final thrust as we both reached our limit. Our fluids clashing against one another as we both orgasmed.
Ashtry- Kazzu... I feel it... all inside me...
I only grunted as I continued to shoot my seed inside of her. After a few seconds, I pulled out of her. Her legs twitching after the experience and a small leak of my seed flowing out of her womanhood. Her breath shaky as I laid down beside her.
Ashtry- That... was...
"Awesome..."
Ashtry- Yea... it really was...
Her eyes then widened as she sat up and noticed my seed pouring out of her.
Ashtry- Kazzu!? I'm not going to...?
"Relax... it's a digital body. Everything in here is ones and zeroes, including bodily fluids. You won't be getting pregnant in here."
Ashtry- Ok... sorry...
"No need to apologize. I understand the concern."
Ashtry got up from the bed and grabbed a blanket, returning and covering the both of us. I pulled her closer to me and shut my eyes.
Ashtry- Kazzu...?
"Yes?"
Ashtry- You promised me that you would find me in the real world, right?
"That I did..."
Ashtry- And you said you would be my friend...
"Yes, I remember."
Ashtry- Do you think... if we get out of here... we can... be together in the real world?
My eyes widened for a second before relaxing. I let out a sigh and looked my lover in the eyes.
"Ash... the road I'm going down won't have a happy end. I'll more likely than not be sentenced to jail or worse. I don't want to put you through that."
Ashtry- And I told you that I want to be there by your side. I want to fight along with you. For better or worse, I want to be with you... ok?
I nodded my head as she pulled me into a hug. A small sniffle came from her.
Ashtry- Please... I don't want to lose you...
I lifted her chin so her eyes could meet mine once more. I made a promise to Kiyo, I made a promise to Ashtry. I wasn't about to let them both down.
"I promise that we'll make it back to the real world. When we do, I'm going to find both you and Kiyo and falling love with you both all over again..."
Her smile was the last thing I saw as my eyes grew heavy. She must've been tired as well as we both fell into a blissful sleep, holding each other's hands in the hopes that we would wake up next to one another.
