I
have fallen to my knees
As I sing a lullaby of pain
I'm feeling
broken in my melody
As I sing to help the tears go away
I eased open the door of the clubroom. Haruhi glanced at me, then turned back to the window. I sat back at my usual spot. Haruhi had one leg up on the window sill, one on left with her foot just touching the floor. She'd also managed to tie her up into a pigtail. I sighed. Yes fine, her legs are great, and that pigtail was just fabulous, but her face was one in...pain? Conflict? I put both my feet up on the table. Considering the rest of the brigade had already left, I thought she'd have more in mind to do. More menial labour no doubt. Or...maybe? But no, she was just really moody. Boredom? Nightmare? Who knew. Eventually I decided to break the silence.
"...Why do you want me here?"
She paused for a moment before answering.
Then I remember the pledge you made to me...
"Do you remember...that dream?"
"Which dream? I've had lots of dreams, and if you mean by THAT kind of dream then-"
"No. The particular one."
I arched my eyebrow slightly. She was still looking out to the oncoming storm. I fumbled around behind me for the heater switch and turned it on.
"Hmm...well...kind of. Is this the one where I kissed you at the end?"
She nodded slightly. Heh, I remember it better than you think I do, Haruhi Suzumiya. It's also probably where you got the idea to tie your hair in a pigtail.
"Well, what about it?" I shifted my chair to face her.
She brightened a bit. Heh, maybe she feels a bit special. She began brightly and bossily (as usual) "As Brigade Chief, I order you to..." Her voice trailed off. I cocked my head. She had a slight blush? Who knew. I stood up and took a step towards her.
"Hey...don't come any closer, that's an order..." Pfft, like I was gonna do that now Haruhi. That blush, and your ponytail, PLUS the atmosphere with it warming because of the heater? Suuuure. I encircled my arms around her waist, and hugged her. Briefly, just in case she still had it in her mind to kill me, but tightly nonetheless.
"Kyon...kiss me."
Wait, HOLD ON A SECOND. This was a joke! Surely she can't really...pfft, maybe she's just playing along. Her face was now turned towards me. She was trying to turn away from me, but she seemed to be struggling with her self-restraint. I arched my eyebrow even higher. She blushed even more heavily.
"Wait, let me get this straight. You hate having the feeling of liking a boy, right."
She nodded. "But you know...I'm still human." She smiled cutely. I was even more taken aback by this, and arched my eyebrow even higher if that was still possible. She giggled at that.
"Yeah, I sure know about that. Cheeky little brat." I ruffled her hair, and then returned to my seat. Turned out it had only been a joke.
"Ah, wait!"
I turned, halfway sitting down. "Now what?"
"Uh, hug me again... on second thought-" I was already latched onto her. I sighed. "Hurry up leader, you've gotta make your decisions more definite!"
Her eyes flared. Crap. I'd made her angry. "Fine, then kiss me or there's gonna be a penalty. And ONLY kiss me!"
Yare yare. I gave her a swift brotherly dab. "How's that?"
"Eh...longer please." She wasn't herself again. I harrumphed. Clearly, I hadn't already made it extremely well known how I felt about her LAST time this happened.
I
know you're always there
To hear my every prayer inside
I'm
clinging to the promise of a lifetime
I hear the words you say
To
never walk away from me and leave behind
The promise of a lifetime
I leaned in and kissed her again...but much more tenderly. I slowly slid my tongue through her teeth into her mouth. She moaned a bit in surprise. I pulled away and started licking her neck.
"HEY, hey...I said only...ahh..." I supported her back with one hand, while caressing her hair with the other. Eventually I stopped. We sat there. I, my leg intertwined with hers to the floor with the other on the sill, and she, leaning back into my hand on her back. In fact, it was starting to hurt. After I started grimacing for a bit, she eventually noticed and sat herself back up.
"Woops, sorry..." She blushed. I smiled. I guess the joke was over. Now was the serious stuff. My arms were still loosely around her waist. She brought her arms around my neck, leaned in and kissed me. I pulled her closer to me and started sucking on her tongue. She moaned slightly, one hand coming to brush my hair, the other grasping at my shoulder. I gently stroked her back, and felt her shudder at each pass. Once again, I pulled away, and started licking at her neck. She moaned much more audibly this time, and tilted her neck to open more skin up to me. I gladly obliged. I gave a laugh. She frowned for a while, still flushed.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh...just that you're so cute. Also that you still haven't learned to restrain yourself that well."
"Baaaka...you know how I feel when-"
I was already back at it. I licked her ear, and the rim just near her ear hole.
"Dammit...Kyoonnnnnnnnnn...nmmh...you freaking tease... I'll get you for this..."
Suuure, I thought. Not after I'm through with you. I slowly turned my tongue inside her ear. She cried out loudly once, and then softened to low moans, shuddering every time I traced a circle on her back. I knew I had her now.
"Geez and I haven't even gotten to your breasts yet."
Will
you help me fall apart
Pick me up, take me in your arms
Find my
way back from the storm
And you show me how to grow
Through the
change
She feebly harrumphed. "You...bastard... I'll...ah...penalty...I know." She did the same to me. I squeezed my eyes shut. Damn, I never thought I was doing this! It's so damn powerful... It became a race. The first one that melted under the good feelings lost, and became the other's plaything. There was one more trick up my sleeve. Once I'd had her moaning into my ear, I breathed heavily and hotly inside, and followed it up with my tongue. My hands slipped under her shirt, and started stroking at her bare skin. She shuddered even more, and eventually she gave up. She was breathing hotly and heavily on my neck.
"Shit, Kyon..." I parted and smiled.
"Now it's my turn to ask you a question. Do you remember when I confessed to you?"
She nodded, face still flushed.
I still remember the pledge you made to me
"You still remember the pact I made with you?"
"Yeah..."
"That promise...Of a lifetime, I think you called it."
I
am holding on to the hope I have inside
With you I will stay
through every day
Putting my understanding aside
I nodded. "Well, we should probably be going now anyway."
She looked confused. "Wait, what? Kyon, I demand you tell me what you mean by that!"
I
simply walked out of the room with umbrella in hand, bag on my back.
She straightened her shirt, grabbed her bag and ran after me. Once
she'd caught up to me: "Hey, what else was there? I bet there was
something else after that."
And
I am comforted...
I wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer, and under the umbrella.
"I hope you haven't forgotten it."
