(PP-F6) From the perspective of two (Sousuke)

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

Arekkusu wanted to hang out with Sousuke, ever since he saw Sousukes first kiss, Arekkusu insisted that they hung out again. He wanted to praise his friend for having a girl in the game, that is very rare for many people and only so few players can actually have that. Despite the fact that Arekkusu almost crashed into people as he fainted out of surprise with the kiss between the two, he couldn't talk. Kitty had him in trances for doing the same thing, so why should Arekkusu start questioning.

 

"No fights..." Arekkusu said out loud, making sure his blade was sheathed in its holder. He wanted to just talk with Sousuke, a lot had happened and Arekkusu felt that he and Sousuke never really did talk like normal people. "No weapons, no monsters, no other players. We just are going to talk, no intentions of bloodshed from anything."

 

Arekkusu made sure to stay in a safe zone so monsters couldn't ambush them. However, the paths were crowded, so looking for him friend wasn't easy. Arekkusu would hang around the balcony, but there was none. No high are he could hand around and Arekkusu wasn't going to bring attention upon himself due to climbing onto a roof.

 

"Now lets see if he could see me." Arekkusu said once again.

Sousuke was having one of those days where Manta was busy and most of his other friends were off doing whatever it is they do but one thing was for sure, he really didn't wantn to go out and fight for a change. Most of the time he sees his friends fighting occurs at some point or another and he needed a day off. He decided he would do what it was that Arekkusu does so often and that was sitting around on the roof tops just observing the other players. He was sitting on a rooftop doing what he likes to do most of the time in his spare time and that was watch over the newer players on that floor. He lit a cigarette and began to relax watching the crowds below him. He crossed over roof to roof just looking down below when a person on a roof cross from him caught his eye. 'Arek' he thought as he leapt over to his roof and approached from behind. ''He Arek nice view up here ain't it?'' he asked as he sat down next to the boy taking a drag of his cigarette

"Hey, that's my move right there!" Arekkusu exclaimed as he knocked the back of Sousukes head playfully. It was great to see him again. "Man it has been a while since... well... forever I guess since we defeated the Eliminator. Man that was hard."

 

Arekkusu then climbed up, regardless of public attention dragged behind him since Arekkusu climbed. He was a performer, so climbing wasn't anywhere near hard. Arekkusu then made it to the roof and looked above. He loved heights.

 

"This is my kind of view." Arekkusu said. "You could see everything, like the moment you were with Manta. Dude, I have to commend you on that, you are so awesome. You are doing very well on here."

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke blushed for a second he thought no one saw that kiss but still thinking about it made him smile. He loved Manta with all his heart and was planning to one day marry her. ''Haha you saw that man? I thought no one else did but still one day ill marry that girl and your gonna be the best man.'' he said with a big grin. Him and Arek had gotten on great since they had met and there friendship was unbreakable. ''As for that eliminator and that thing still gives me nightmares.'' he said shuddering

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

Arekkusu then had a flashback, how he remembered the kiss... he was high up again, his great habit of watching people from high distances.

 

 

Arekkusu then slumped back as the two of them did kiss, he spat out his drink of water from his hand and stumbled back. "Whoa!" Arekkusu exclaimed as he then began to stumble. He was so shocked, so fast, even faster than Arekkusu and Kitty. How, why? Well, it was awesome to see, but just so surprising. Arekkusu fell back down the hill, rolling down as he fell. He didn't hear them panic, so they weren't aware of his presence. "Mental note, commend him on that."

 

"Well... lets just say I have my way of finding things out." Arekkusu said as his face became red with that embarrassing moment in his mind. He didn't know what embarrassed him more.

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke laughed at the boy and took drag of his cigarette. He wondered how him and kitty had met and oddly kitty had been away for quite some time arek must be getting worried by now he thought. ''Hey man how did you meet kitty and what was it that got brought to together dude I never did find that out.'' he laughed as he questioned the boy.

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

"Well..." Arekkusu started, hesitating on his answer. He then began to explain. "What happened was we met when I was training a player, she appeared and I helped her as well. I ended up training three players, Claim was there as well. We all fought and Kitty broke down in the middle of the fight, I begged for her to get up and not be afraid of the monsters and that she wasn't going to die. She cried, but then she helped herself up and became brave enough to fight once more. I desperately wanted to save her, not just because she was a new player. We then all cleared a cave, which was where a certain amount of events happened that I personally don't want to explain. I pmed Kitty to try to train her because I wanted her to live, but she asked me about my past, which opened both of us. Soon we actually then revealed our feelings to each other."

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke smiled at the explanation it was nice and quite similar to his own meeting of Manta yet he wasn't training her he just kinda got dragged along which he doesn't regret for an instant. Arekkusu was there too so he knows how they met. ''Hey arek ... what do you think of me marrying Manta and You marrying Kitty?'' he asked. It was something he was curious about and wanted to know what he felt when it came to that sort of commitment.

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

"Don't you think all of us are a bit too young for marriage?" Arekkusu asked a bit embarrassed. As much as he denied the idea, he was pretty happy about that idea. The marriage of Kitty, that is something that would excite him. And for Arekkusu to see his best friend get married as well made him happy as well. Arekkusu still waited for a reply.

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke shook his head. ''Think about it dude we have been here for nearly two years. Im probably 18 by now and your probably 16 we just havnt changed in the game much its weird. But me I would love to get married. Its something ive dreamed of doing since I got here I just, needed the right person.'' he said looking up into the sky watching the cloud formations as he waited for arek

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

Arekkusu looked down to think about the situation. The game didn't seem to be clearing anytime soon, hell everyone was only on the ninth floor, tenth if the boss is beaten. Wouldn't it be better for Arekkusu to marry her and try to get to Kitty in the real world? He hadn't seen her in a while, hopefully he can see her again. He started to agree.

 

"I guess if we are going to be here." Arekkusu said. "I guess being married right now is no better or worse than any other time... but how would we propose to them? I've never even done this stuff!"

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke laughed after all he was still a teenage kid and after all he most likely wasn't going to know much about this kind of think. ''Well you buy a ring and get down on one knee and ask them to marry you but how you get to that point is up to you and the girl isn't it.'' he said smiling.

 

Sousuke was beginning to think this kind of think was to rare in SAO, he only knew of one marriage and he wasn't in any rush or anything but the thought of living together with Manta made him Smile

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

Arekkusu looked at his Col, he didn't have enough to buy a house. Not even close, could they actually reside somewhere? A small room with a bunk isn't that good of a place to be. He should be prepared... now...

 

"Where might I find such a ring?" Arekkusu asked, a flood of questions coming out from his mouth. "I mean, who can make a ring? I don't know any ring dealers? Is it a quest or something? Where might I find one? Would it be good? How much would it be?"

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke smiled at his questions. It seemed arek was excited about the whole thing so he ran a few possibilities through his mind and organised them. ''Im guessing an artisan would be able to make you one I suppose of not then maybe loot? As long as it looks nice it shouldn't be a problem really should it?'' he said grinning. He thought he might go out and look for such a ring himself acctually

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

An... Artisan? Arekkusu didn't know any of those, none being his friends, none of them being an Artisan. What does he do then? Well... he wanted to relax for today, he wanted to know where to go though. Maybe Floor nine since there are lava puddles everywhere. The amount of rock there might be hard to fight though. Maybe they could go to Pyro since she is another expert on Fire.

 

"Well... by any chance..." Arekkusu started. "Do you know an Artisan?"

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke shook his head. He hadn't heard of an artisan at all so he guessed that the only way to get one at this point was via loot unless they came across a shop some where. ''No idea mate im afraid so I think we are going to have to go and get one from a drop, but for now lets just relax eh? the weather is great and we have ... ermmmmmm ... BREAD!'' he shouted randomly producing a piece of bread from no where

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

Arekkusu laughed as his friend grabbed some bread from nowhere. He was just like Crozeph, both of them loved bread so much. It even became a rumor on Crozephs side. Though it wasn't what he wanted to be known by, that was how he was known by and that was it. Arekkusu didn't want the bread, so instead he decided to continue talking.

 

"Well now there's a lot of things in this game that have happened after two years, sheesh." Arekkusu said as he looked below to see the people walking by. They weren't caring about the two just screwing around on the roof of a random shop. "And everyone seems to be breaking down, that isn't too good for us huh."

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke thought about what he said for a moment, sure people where breaking down here and there but they were doing there best to help everyone get through this. It was strange seeing this game as their life now but that was the way things went. ''Yea but we got there backs man you know that, me and you make a great team and we can destroy anything that gets in our way.'' he said grinning

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

"Heh." Arekkusu said as he remembered an old friend, Macgrath was his name. Oh man, the two of them were great friends, but once a bounty was made on his head, Macgrath went missing after that, never to be seen again. He and Arekkusu had a misunderstanding... but... he is probably not here anymore. Arekkusus darkness isn't here anymore. The threats of him are no longer here.

 

"Yeah, we are a team, but lets not push our luck." Arekkusu said. "Once we both level up a bit more, we can go to great extents like fighting boss fights, going through duels, we could even fight on the front lines."

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke grinned and put an arm round his friend and pulled him into aa friendly head lock laughing . "Hey man one day we will be up there with the best of them and all those who died in this game will have the dynamite duo fighting for their souls giving them peace after all this pain." He said. He didn't want the deaths to be in vain he would fight in their honour.
