Another HaruKyon story. It's kind of a song fic. Like a said in Action! I'm not too familiar with english language so it's a try. I hope you guys enjoy anyway.
It's just another calm Thursday on that quiet week of my strange school life. After the tedious lessons it's time to assume my second turn of the day, an extracurricular activity so insane and damaging that has already consumed my brain and took part on my daily routine. It's obvious I'm talking about the SOS Brigade. That peculiar club is basically integrated by an quiet and book devour alien, an beautiful and timid time traveller, an windbag and philosophy esper, an authoritarian, insane and eccentric leader and finally, me, an one hundred percent normal person conform the common sense.
Those was just more one of that days which our leader loudly complained about the absence of interesting things to do. Once more I just played a board game with Koizumi, enjoying the marvellous Asahina-san's tea, trying to ignore Haruhi's nuisance.
"You know how it's not good when Suzumiya-san get bored and irritated like this…" – Spoke Koizumi with his usual mannerisms.
"And what do you have in mind to fix it?" – I asked without a real interest in thinking about a solution…
Koizumi put his hand on his chin and once more I've prepared myself to hear a speech that probably would take the colours of my day. Suddenly he gave one of his disgusting giggles and started with his usual gesticulation:
"I think you should ask her out and do things which people of your age do. Like, what about a cinema or a stroll in a park?"
Again with it, how long do you intend to force me to have a date with Haruhi?
"I know that you dislike this idea and already had rejected my advices about that more than once, but I believe you will not regret if you do it. I particularly think that you and Suzumiya-san have many things in common, furthermore, she is a very sweet person in the bottom, wouldn't be interesting to find it?"
"I shall pass" – After that the despondent brigade chief stood up from her chair letting a big sigh.
"All dismissed" – Said Haruhi in her habitual bad mood.
She gathered her things and got away by the clubroom door seeming very irritated but with the usual melancholic touch. Everyone followed the leader, and I was anxious to come home and get some sleep. Koizumi delayed his pace and started to follow me by my side. Putting his standard smile he started…
"I've had a proposal about our last conversation" – You really are insistent today and I'm not in the mood you see...
"Your face is too close, what do you want?" – I said with some impatience…
"How about a bet?"
"Uhm... exactly about what?" – I asked nonchalantly
"Well, we already had pondered about Suzumiya-san's reason of your choice for the SOS Brigade, but as I didn't want to alarm you, I never been so direct about my real opinion of the subject. I sure had given you some hints about it, but you continue to run away from my answer, what I totally comprehend someway. However, to make a bet, you will need to know my opinion about the reason you were chosen by Suzumiya-san. Do you want to know?"
He was right about my dodge from that opinion, but as I'm curious about the bet I've decided to hear his nonsense only this time.
"I believe I must proceed..." – So he placed a serious and contemplative look in his face. I think it's impossible to quantify the mental problems that his guy got. - "I believe that Suzumiya-san is in love with you."
I tried to not change my expression, but that hit me some way, to tell the truth I thought that is just more one of his ridiculous jokes and put myself to laugh in a sarcastic way. Haruhi in love with me, c'mon Koizumi, I think you has already been much better in theorizing.
"I know that you don't believe in my words and that was the reason for a bet" – He spoke returning to carve that fake smile on his face – "Besides, I think that she is not the only one in Brigade with problems to deal with this type of feelings."
I didn't comprehend or just not wanted to comprehend this last phrase. So, ignoring it, I asked about the bet and how we could define a winner.
"It's very simple! You go out with Suzumiya-san and if nothing that could change your opinion happen, you win, otherwise I win…"
I should say that's much undefined, what exactly do you want to prove?
"Being direct, I want to prove that my deduction about Suzumiya-san be in love with you is correct. To be the winner you just need that nothing happen on the date. That way you will prove that you are just friends" – He said putting a strange smile on his face – "Of course, like in any bet, the winner will have a prize. In case of your victory I propose myself to do all the hard work that you do on Brigade and pay all the financials penalties that you eventually earn for one month."
This prize is not bad; I could get used to not see my money flying away like it was lately, even for just a month. But in the case you win…
"In case of my victory, you just have to keep your participation in the club doing the work of support Suzumiya-san stability. Although if I really win I think it's not a real deal to you…"
Well, this bet is not reasonable to you regardless of your confidence. Anyway your hypothesis will be soundly rejected. I'd realized that a distant part of me has complained of this last phrase but it should have something to do with my tiredness.
"So how we will set this?" – I asked feeling like shooting fish in a barrel
"I have these two tickets to a music show what's going to happen this weekend. The band is called Spitz" – I know this band, they are very popular, playing melodious songs with sometimes poetic and overly sugared lyrics. – "Anyway, you have to invite Suzumiya-san and in the day of the show I will be positioned to not let escape anything that you don't want to tell me…"
I should say that you have a lot of really creepy hobbies and that grosses me out profoundly, but these tickets was sold by a little fortune, after all it's not regular to a band with that popularity come to a little city like that one…
"The Agency took care of it, but it really doesn't matter..."
I just took the tickets of the hands of that bastard which now are placing a large smile in his face and went to home finally trying to get my break.
