She loved all of him. She loved the fierce, protective side of him, and she also loved the bashful, teenage boy that came out sometimes around her. She also let her own shy side show only around him, keeping her image and identity from mostly everyone else in SAO. She'd been braver than she'd let on during her kidnapping in Alfheim Online, but that couldn't be helped. She'd needed to be brave. Brave for him, so he could do what he needed in order to save her.
She didn't mind standing there all day at his side, her fingers gently against his cheek and her gaze on him. She could feel his heart pounding in his chest, and a laugh escaped her lips before she could help it when he asked if they ought to go inside. "Yeah, we probably should, shouldn't we?" she questioned softly. She had no idea if her roommates were in or if she had roommates, having just woken up here, really.
Reaching down to take his fingers in hers, she linked their hands together then tugged him inside. "Come on. Do you think we have any food in here? I can make us something to eat." She gave him a small grin, her eyes sparkling as she guessed how much he'd probably missed her cooking.
