Puts the fear of god in a man. And it made gentlemen of all the awkward nerds I knew.

[He's glad she smiled, though.]

So did you punch him in the face instead?

[experiencepoints]

... I, um.

I may have panicked.

And pushed him away in the middle of a restaurant in front of everyone else.

And then freaked out really bad and blew a Teleport Stone to get out of there and accidentally left him with the bill.

1/2

[huaaaaagh]

[A part of him is internally screaming at such a horrible waste of a teleport stone, because those things are so expensive oh god]

[huaaaaagh]

[On the other hand-]

That's... amazing. Way to get your point across.

[experiencepoints]

[it's okay, kirito, she had the same reaction once she realized what she did.]

... That... is a very positive way of putting it.

[huaaaaagh]

I do feel a little sorry for the guy, but that was too bold. On the same day he met you... his expectations were way too high. Or maybe it was his ego?

[experiencepoints]

[She sighs and runs her hands through her hair.]

I dunno... When I first got that memory back, Roc saw it before I did. And she thought he had been just as set up as I was.

[huaaaaagh]

Hah... maybe that's true. Did you ever see him again?

[experiencepoints]

I don't think so. I can't imagine when I would have... Right after I got home, I sort of...

... Well, I moved in with Yura and didn't leave for a while.

[huaaaaagh]

Yeah, sounds like there was a serious need to get away. I can't think of anyone who would want to stay in a situation like that.

[experiencepoints]

Yeah. It... wasn't the best situation.

[let's just gloss over all the other details.]

[huaaaaagh]

[Yeah, he's fine with that.]

So tell me about Yura, then. What was it like living with her?

[experiencepoints]

[... well, she's immediately turning very, very red.]

I, um. I don't remember much about that yet. Just that it was a lot nicer?

i should've saved that icon for this tag clearly

[huaaaaagh]

[Oh, right, her memories are kinda shaky.

Waaaait-]

From the look on your face, you must remember a few things.

[experiencepoints]

[And now her voice is very squeaky and nervous.]

What is that look on your face for.

[huaaaaagh]

[Wow she's really terrible at this.

Awesome.]

Hey, I'm just asking questions. Are you feeling okay?

[experiencepoints]

[KIRITO YOU ARE THE WORST.]

Perfectly fine.

[huaaaaagh]

[LOOK YOU'RE FEEDING THE TROLL]

Are you sure? Your face is all red.

[experiencepoints]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[AS SOON AS SHE CATCHES ON, YOU ARE SO DEAD, KIRITO]

[huaaaaagh]

You should drink your tea, it might help you cool down a little.

[experiencepoints]

[fun trivia: she got this kind of tea because it was yura's favorite and she's a nostalgic nerd who misses her.

which means, uh. this is the opposite effect of taking her mind off of yura things.]

It's fine. I'm fine. You're imagining things.

[huaaaaagh]

If you say so.

[Sipping his tea. Just. Sipping away. One, two, three...]

You and Yura had a thing, then?

[experiencepoints]

What- No!

... I mean, sort of, we would have if- Anyway, it doesn't matter!

[huaaaaagh]

Why wouldn't it matter?

[Feelings are important!! He should know, he's the worst at them. He's not even trolling at this moment. Briefly.]

[experiencepoints]

Because no matter how I feel about her, she isn't here. And I'm not likely to see her again any time soon.
