Chapter 20: The Fool's Heart

Sinon pov

Shortly after Y/N fell asleep on me, it really wasn't long until Kirito and the others came into the stadium.

I took off my disguise before flagging them over with a few simple hand gestures to make sure they didn't disturb Y/N when got over here.

Though as I kept looking down at him, he seemed to hold a pained expression...he must be having a nightmare.

But as I caressed his face. I couldn't help but smile as his pained expression seemed to soften at my touch.

Kureha: pst, hey Sinon.

I looked over to my side and saw Kureha waving at me to get my attention.

Kirito: how's he holdin up?

Kirito poked his head out from beside her. but I simply shrugged before feeling Y/N hold on to my free left hand.

I looked down to see him in his continued rest while gently scratching the back and base of his ears.

Though as I focused my efforts on making Y/N feel comfortable. The roof of the building began to separate and part ways.

Bragi: hello everyone!

I looked up briefly to see the giant robot hover down and into the building in an almost graceful manner as it directed it's attention to the audience

Bragi: we will begin the welcoming even as soon as the last batch of players come in!- but in the mean time~

I raised an eyebrow before being greeted by a pistol hovering meer inches away from me. I looked over towards the others and saw that they had the same pistol floating in front of them too

Bragi: get a good grip on this... because we're gonna have some fun in a second!

I grabbed the pistol out of it's sustained flight before holding it properly in my hands.

But when I looked down, I noticed Y/N didn't get a pistol himself....but that was also when...

Y/N: *groan*

Me: 'oh crap'

Y/N Sat up on his seat with half opened eyes and a bit of drool on his cheek as he seemed to slowly come back down to reality before yawning with a stretch.

Y/N: hnnn!- *sigh* ah...

He looked around at the filled stadium with a growing smile before speaking.

Y/N: oh!- it looks like it's about to start!- I need to get going!

I wanted with a conflicted mind as everyone else did the exact same. Should I just grab him?- or do I let him go and perform?

I could only watched as Y/N had somehow not noticed or realized that his friends we're surrounding him.

Y/N then stood up with another stretch before putting on his new backpack, and drawing his grapple gun. He then aimed and fired a line over to the center stage.

Y/N: thanks for letting me rest Sam!- I'll be sure to get Bragi to get you a gift for me!-

Y/N readied himself to swing into the stage, but just before he could...I snapped out of my confused state before quickly leaning inward...and grabbing onto Y/N.

Y/N: hm?- Sa-....

Y/N's words were cut short as he looked at me with shocked filled eyes.

Me: eh he ....hi Y/N...

Y/N: S- Sinon!?- you-? How did you!?...

Me: just wait Y/N!- please listen to me-

I tried to call out to him but his eyes...both went from shock...
