Just a small TMoHS fic, nothing really happens in it, there will most likely be more to come.

Pairing: One-sided Itsuki/Kyon (at least I hope people see it)

Rating: I think it's safe to rate it as K

Disclaimer: I wish I owned TMoHS, but alas...

Quiet

I sighed as I pushed through the door into the room that we called club headquarters. As usual I did not want to be there, but I also didn't want to inspire Suzumiya's wrath so I figured that it would be best for me to just play the obedient henchman that she seemed to think I was.

I looked up as I entered the room, expecting to see the same scene I saw everyday, Suzumiya sitting at the computer, Nagato sitting in the corner reading one of her books, and Asahina-san in her cute little maids outfit serving tea, but I was surprised to see that the room was empty other then Koizumi sitting at the long table in the middle of the room with the Othello board set up in front of him, he smiled when he saw me come in.

I blinked, that was odd, normally Koizumi was the last to make it to the clubroom after school, not the first. I shook of the strangeness of it and walked to the seat across from Koizumi, placed my bag next to the chair, and took a seat.

"So… where's everyone else?" I asked after having taken my seat.

Koizumi smiled as he stared to place the Othello pieces on the board, "Suzumiya-san dragged the other two to go shopping I believe I heard something about finding a new outfit for Asahina-san."

"And you didn't stop her?" I demanded, imagining the torture that Suzumiya was probably putting pour defenseless Asahina-san through.

Koizumi shrugged, that annoying smile still present, "I figured that as long as Suzumiya is happy no closed-space will open."

I just stared at him in annoyance for a moment before shaking my head, "Whatever."

"Would you like to play a game?" Koizumi asked once the conversation was dropped, gesturing to the prepared Othello board.

I shrugged, "Why not?"

With that said we began out game. We played in silence for a few moments, neither of us bothering to start a new conversation, but after a while I couldn't take it anymore. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy quite, but it was just so strange having this particular room so quite. I kept expecting Suzumiya to burst through the door yelling about some ridiculous activity that she was giving to force us to participate in.

"Did Suzumiya say when they'd be back?" I decided to ask.

Koizumi moved one of his pieces before speaking, "She didn't." He replied simply before looking up at me and folding his arms over his chest, leaning back in his chair slightly, "But wouldn't you agree that the quiet is a nice change?"

"Yeah, I guess, but I hate to think what Suzumiya is putting pour Asahina-san through." I explained.

For a split second I saw the smile leave Koizumi's face, but it was back so quickly, looking as fake as ever, that I wondered if I had just imagined it.

"I'm sure that she's fine." Koizumi replied before changing the subject, "It's your turn." He said, gesturing to the board.

I shrugged slightly and picked up one of my pieces, placing it on another space on the board, "I still think that you should have done something to stop Suzumiya." I said before ending my turn by flipping a few of Koizumi's pieces over, making them mine.

Koizumi studied the board for a few moments before answering, "As long as no harm is done I think it's fine for Suzumiya-san to do as she pleases, as long as she's kept entertained she won't accidently try to create a new world."

"No harm done?" I questioned, "What about Asahina-san? Suzumiya's always forcing her to ware things that she's uncomfortable in and doesn't seem to give a damn."

Again I saw the smile drop, but this time I know that I saw it. Once again, though, a new smile was quickly put in its place.

"Kyon-kun, there's really no need to worry. I'm sure that Asahina-san will be fine. After all Nagato is there." Koizumi replied.

I scoffed, "Nagato's just as bad as you are when it comes to letting Suzumiya do whatever she wants, she's just here to 'observe'."

"Look Kyon-kun, there's not much harm that Suzumiya-san can do with cloths. Now why don't we just take the opportunity that we've been given to enjoy some peace and quiet." Koizumi suggested.

I sighed, "I suppose you're right." I replied.

And with that we continued our game, but unfortunately not too long after our quiet was ruined by Suzumiya bursting through the door with a triumphant looking grin on her face and when I glanced at Koizumi I noticed that once again the smile had dropped, but it was soon replaced when he noticed I was looking at him.

As I'm sure you can guess, the rest of the day was quiet hectic, ugh, why couldn't I have enjoyed the quiet to its fullest extent?
