Kyoya's thoughts are in italics

(Kyoya's house – 5pm)

Haruhi was at Kyoya's house. Again. She thinks it was the fourth….no…fifth time that week. Currently they were sitting in his room, her on his lap at his desk. They were doing Haruhi's homework together – her homework that's going to be assigned about a month from now. Maintaining top of the class means giving yourself extra time to understand the concepts given, after all. Kyoya taught her that the first week after they started studying together. They had been dating about 3 months now.

"Kyoya?" Haruhi asked. "I have a question…" She sounded nervous, and trailed off at the end of her speech. Kyoya noticed this, and immediately started guessing at what was going through her head.

Is she scared for the upcoming test?

"It's not school related…it's about something else…"

So it must be serious. Hmm, maybe it's because Ranka wants her home more often?

"Kyoya, I may be nervous to tell you, but you're guessing is really off today. And yes, I can guess at what you're thinking."

Damn. I must be getting really hungry. Kyoya sighed in defeat. "Haruhi, I suggest you tell me before I decide to add this to your debt. After all, it's not nice to play with your boyfriend." He chose that moment to stop working, and move his hands from the books on the desks to hugging Haruhi's waist instead.

"Kyoya, I feel like we spend a lot of time together, but at the same time, you aren't really present when I'm here." Haruhi stated bluntly. Kyoya's mind went into overdrive. I'm always here though, it's physically impossible for my mind to be here without my body. Kyoya rose suddenly, tightening his grip on Haruhi's waist with his right hand, and moving his left to hold her under her knees, bridal style. He then moved her toward the bed and placed her on it before sitting down next to her. Kyoya turned towards Haruhi and stared at her with intense eyes, facial expression showing no emotion, before saying, "Haruhi. We've been dating for 3 months. You come over to my house regularly after school, and you're usually around me. How am I not here?"

Haruhi couldn't look him in the eyes anymore. She hugged herself loosely, trying to find the right words in her head. "Obviously you're here, I can touch you." She pokes him in his toned abs to prove her point. "However, we talk little, and when we do talk it's just mindless drivel. There's no actual thought to it. I'm only telling you to let you know what's going on – you don't have to worry about it too much. I just thought you should be aware of it."

She's lying. It bothers her, or else she wouldn't have brought it up. He sighed inwardly. Closing the gap between them, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in for a kiss.

(Haruhi's POV, time skip to her house - 8pm)

"Hey Mori?" Haruhi typed carefully, trying to find the best way to word her question. She was reclining in a chair in her living room, waiting for her dad to come home, and texting Mori while she waited. "Yes?" came the reply, almost instantly. "I was over at Kyoya's again…he seems more distant. I'm slightly worried." Haruhi looked at her text carefully. Mori was a good friend, and would understand what's going through her head. She sent the text finally, after deliberating whether she should really be that concerned. "I'm probably over-reacting anyways…right?" She typed a second message quickly, before he could respond.

Her phone rang, instead of buzzing with a reply. "Hello? Mori-sempai?" Haruhi asked, surprised he chose to talk. "I want to tell you something. Don't tell Kyoya." Mori's voice didn't betray him. He sounded as stoic as ever. His hand was shaking though, and he paced nervously in his room.

"What is it?" Haruhi sounded confused. Very confused. Mori never made phone calls, and didn't speak many words, and couldn't understand why he would call her.

"I like you."

A/N: So…MY FIRST FANFIC! I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF! I ended abruptly, because I'm trying to make this actually be like a few chapters. Speaking of which, I'd love to know how I'm doing. I was really nervous about how long this was…but I think it's about medium for the type of fanfics I usually like to read :3 So, I don't expect reviews, because expectations will lead to me "borrowing" Tamaki's emo corner, but I'd love you forever :3 This fanfic…will be surprising. In addition, I'd like to mention Chibi-Chanx, because I read her story LOV3 and well...I'm hooked on this pairing now XD
