Kyon sat quietly at the table staring absentmindedly into nothing. Haruhi was ranting on about something but he was paying no attention. Mind you half the things she went on about were utter nonsense. After a while he just learned to block it out and ignore everything she said.
His eyes roamed around the room till they fell on Itsuki. He was fast asleep his head laid upon the table and was resting on his arms. It was amazing for how peppy this guy was; he could fall asleep anywhere.
Kyon watched the teen sleep absentmindedly. For the longest time he had been unable to tear his gaze away from Itsuki. There was just something about him that drew him in.
He had such beautiful long eyelashes and his hair was like pure silk. His smile was infectious and his cute attitude made him all tingly inside. Yes...he had a thing for Itsuki.
Many people would label that as being gay; but that was not the case. The thing was Kyon didn't label himself as gay. In truth he didn't care about gender or orientation; he saw people for their personality and hearts.
So in short he was pansexual; not labelled by gender or orientation. He was basically attracted to a person's personality and heart more than anything. It was an official sexuality; however not as popular as most.
"Oi Kyon! Haruhi snapped angrily. Had he been paying attention at all? It was going to be summer break soon; and all sorts of things happened during that time of year.
Kyon snapped out of his daze and sighed crossly. Could he not have one minute of peace around here? "What?" he groaned crossly. Why was it she always had to pick on him so much?
"I'm talking about important stuff here! It's almost summer break! All the interesting things happen in the summer!" Haruhi gushed eagerly. Sudden appearances, unusual anomalies, people going missing, strangers; there were so many things that could happen in summer.
Kyon sighed heavily "If you think that you're gonna drag me along during my summer to a random place. Please think again; I've got better things to do" he stated bluntly. Every time he hung out with Haruhi he ended up bored, annoyed and ending up placing peacemaker in an argument. He would rather this year his summer be less stressful.
He recalled last year how Haruhi had humiliated poor Mikuru with a grope fest and made her try on various swimsuits. The poor girl had cried for 2 hours while Kyon comforted her and then scolded Haruhi.
Haruhi pouted crossly "What? Rather stay home and watch porn like a boring loser?" she mocked sharply. How was it that Kyon was such a bore? Did he have nothing he got excited about?
Kyon gasped at how easily she could say such crude things. He frowned at her crossly "Actually I was gonna go camping and such. Better than being around a pervert like you!" he yelled crossly.
He'd rather hang out with his other friends than be with Haruhi all summer. The last time he did he ended up mentally and physically exhausted. That and he would like a break from her string of insults she usually threw at him.
Haruhi clicked her teeth crossly "Whatever; but I bet the others will wanna hang out right?" she questioned hopefully. Hell she didn't need Kyon; she could have fun with the other team members instead.
Mikuru smiled nervously "Actually Miss Suzumiya; my friend Tsuruya and I were going away to a hot springs for 2 weeks" she explained quietly. They had been planning it for a while; that and she felt awful for neglecting her lately for club activities.
Tsuruya being the understanding friend she was told Mikuru it was fine and supporting the club was important. However being the sweetheart she was; Mikuru felt guilty about neglecting her. So she had gone over to hers earlier on before summer vacation and planned it in advance.
"WHAT?! Then why didn't you get enough for all of us?!" Haruhi snapped angrily. She loved hot springs. The mountain views, the fireworks, the hot steamy open baths, the food and the exploring.
Mikuru bowed her head awkwardly "Well Miss Suzumiya; the thing is...she bought them not me" she explained nervously. Despite her complaints; Tsuruya had paid saying that Mikuru had been working hard enough as it was. She could simply repay her by having fun with her and enjoying their trip together as friends.
Haruhi pouted crossly and sat in her chair sulkily. She already knew damn well that Yuki would spend her summer in the library and Itsuki would be with busy. Why did nobody want to hang out with her? She was loads of fun.
"Just find something to do on your own" Kyon suggested bluntly. She had spent time by herself before starting the club; so it wouldn't be hard for her. Hell before the club even joined she was going in and out of clubs by herself. She was always avoiding others and doing whatever the hell she wanted.
"But that's boring!" Haruhi groaned crossly. Hell nothing ever happened in this place unless she made it happen. So how the hell she was she going to pass her time for an ENTIRE summer by herself?
Kyon sighed crossly at her immaturity "Given your massive imagination I'm sure you'll find something to do" he said bluntly. Its not like she was lacking in enthusiasm or spontaneity.
Haruhi shot him a glare and slammed her head on the table. These guys were always free; why was it now that they had to have plans? She sat there for the remainder of the day while the others ignored her and kept to themselves.
One thing they had all learned when Haruhi was like this; don't try and argue or talk to her. Because she would lash out and simply throw you insults until you were in a foul mood.
Later on
Yuki was the first to leave. She planned on getting as many books as possible from school to read over summer break. However given her extensive knowledge already; it was hard to understand why she needed to read more.
Haruhi stormed out after her and went to brew in her tantrum. She would probably call them all idiots and find a bunch of other people to hang out with. She was pretty easy to read sometimes.
"Have a nice summer Kyon. I hope Miss Suzumiya doesn't give you any grief over this" Mikuru said politely bowing before she left. She had a feeling that Haruhi would vent her rage on him.
Kyon felt a bit bad for her; she was often guilted into not hanging out with them. This wasn't fair as she was free to do whatever she wished. "Don't worry about it; You just concentrate on having a good time" he reassured her kindly.
Mikuru smiled sweetly at him and waved goodbye; she then rushed off to meet Tsuruya to pack for their trip. They were leaving on the Thursday so they needed to get everything organised beforehand.
After everyone else left he noticed that Itsuki was still asleep on the desk. He was amazed he managed to sleep through such noise. He must have trained his mind to block sounds; that or he was just a really heavy sleeper.
He gazed at the brown haired boy quietly; he would never understand how one human being could be so stunning. He was so angelic both awake and asleep that Kyon found himself getting lost around him.
Eventually he reached out and poked Itsuki on the forehead gently. He wasn't one to force people to wake from a peaceful sleep like Haruhi. He preferred a more gentle approach that was not so rude.
He tried a few times before Itsuki stirred quietly. He yawned sleepily and rubbed his eyes and smiled at Kyon "I apologize for dozing off. I take it everyone has left for their summer" he said politely.
Kyon stared at him blankly "Don't worry about it; Haruhi wasn't really saying anything of interest today anyway" he explained bluntly. If he found it boring; there was no way Itsuki would be interested either.
Itsuki blinked then smiled sweetly "I see; then you have my thanks. My work has been rather difficult lately". He hadn't told anyone; but his work load had been bigger than usual causing him to work overnight.
Kyon hid his blush by looking away; god he was so fucking cute it wasn't fair. "It's no problem" he said awkwardly.
Later on the way home
Kyon and Itsuki were walking along a pathway just outside the city. They were right beside a river channeled by concrete with an amazing view. The sunset was beaming in the sky and the weather was hot and humid. They were carrying their blazers under their arms alongside their satchels.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Itsuki stated gently admiring the sky's colours. The earth was truly an amazing thing; it never stopped changing and reshaping itself. Yet at the same time was still able to hold such natural beauty.
Kyon hummed in agreement; he wasn't fazed by many things. However he could even admit that the sunset was a sight to behold. He was more laid back and went with the flow; unlike Haruhi's personality.
Itsuki saw his expression; he was busy admiring the sky for himself. His boyish charms were increased while under the glow of the sunset. "So are you spending time with anyone over summer?" Itsuki questioned curiously.
Kyon stiffened; he had planned on taking his sister camping but it would be boring alone. He wondered if Itsuki was even into that sort of thing. "I...I was going to take my sister camping. But it's kind of boring with just two people mind you" he explained nervously.
He had a three man tent with a double room for 2 and a separate one for his sister. He had hoped that Itsuki would be able to come along; that is if he wasn't too busy. But he probably had work as an Esper; I mean his job was very important and secretive.
Itsuki raised an eyebrow but smiled hopefully "I see; so you wouldn't mind me tagging along?" he questioned curiously. The last thing he wanted to be was a bother to Kyon; given how much stress he was already under.
"OF COURSE NOT!" Kyon burst out suddenly. He blushed awkwardly upon realizing his outburst.
How could Itsuki think he would be in the way or a bother? He was of the few people who knew him best and could read him well. He felt comfortable around him; like he could tell him anything without hesitation.
Itsuki blinked at his outburst obviously not expecting it. He then chuckled at his cuteness "Ok I will then. However as to show my respect I won't come empty handed" he said gratefully.
Given how hospitable Kyon was already being; he would feel guilty if he didn't provide in some way. Besides he would have a hard enough time planning all this by himself after all.
Kyon looked away quietly; he found it endearing how Itsuki always wanted to show his gratitude. However if he was kind to everyone then he would get jealous; it was only natural after all.
"Well we leave on Friday and will come back the following Friday. So if you want you could stay over that day" Kyon suggested quietly. They would be gone for a week to enjoy the full extent of the trip. They already had all the equipment they needed. So all Itsuki would need would be a sleeping bag, a pillow and food.
Itsuki stiffened and his face became surprised. He was only ever used to spending time with Kyon at school. He had never really been alone with the guy apart from to tell him things about work.
He looked away shyly hiding his blush with his bangs "I mean...if it's not too much trouble". Helping out with the trip was expected of anyone; but he didn't expect to be able to stay the night for travelling.
Kyon raised an eyebrow suspiciously "Don't be stupid. My parents are away on a business trip and we have spare rooms" he explained casually. It was generally him and his sister most of the time anyway. They barely ever had any guests round so it would be nice for her to meet new people.
Itsuki smiled gently "Ok then. I'll look forward to it" he said gratefully.
