Disclaimer: I do not own Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (Though I wish with all my heart that I did)

A/N: There ARE characters I own. They are constant characters in every novel I make, so you'll probably be seeing them appear in two or more novels later on. They are Shura Asuka and Sarah Viel.

Enjoy!!!

Chapter 1: First Kiss

Kyon woke up, barely coping with the pain on his back from falling out of bed earlier that morning. Untangling himself off of the layers of sheets from his bed, he preceded to the bathroom for his morning rituals, while still holding on to his back.

'I probably look like an old man," Kyon thought to himself while brushing his teeth.

At that same time on a house further down the street, Haruhi woke up with a stinging sensation on her own back. Rubbing sleep off her eyes, she realized that she was on the floor with a mass of bed sheets on top of her. She looked annoyingly at the ceiling and said to herself: 'Did I just fall from my bed???' Her anger was suppressed… barely…

Then, in a flood of images, memories of what happened last night came to them in a flash. The closed space incident; the large humanoid monsters; running around the school… and Haruhi and Kyon's first kiss. At that exact moment both of their faces turned tomato red.

"That felt…" Kyon thought and, almost as if by fate, Haruhi finished the thought with "so real…" Moments later, they thought the same thing again and burned it into their minds.

"That felt so real…"

Haruhi walked to school with distant eyes. She didn't give a damn about the things around her, eventually getting herself into some troubles such as running into people or some trash receptacles. But she didn't care. Her mind was thinking only about Kyon and last night. She was utterly confused of what to do. She was thinking about Kyon even before she got out of her house. And, due to a confession in her dream that Kyon liked Haruhi's hair in ponytails, she even wore one to school.

Her droning continued until she realized that she was walking at a different direction than usual to their normal high school facility. Her eyes and mind worked overtime to try and determine where she was.

"This is…" Haruhi told herself; her cheeks stained in red. "This is Kyon's house…"

She stood there spacing out and thinking about him again, ignoring the legion of high school students gossiping about her presence in front of her hesitant but ever loyal minion, Kyon, especially since she appeared cuter with her ponytail on. But she didn't give them a thought, no matter how much she wanted to kill them when she heard them talking about how Kyon was an idiot or other negative comments; but she did agree on one thing that people gossiped about him; that he was boring. And yet, that was probably the exact reason why she liked him so much. Thinking that, her face turned even redder; and, as if by cue, Kyon walked out of the door to catch a rare glimpse of an embarrassed Haruhi.

"Yo…! Kyon…" Haruhi said, saying the 'Yo!' with enthusiasm but the name 'Kyon' with less of it.

"Haruhi? What are you doing at my house this early?" Kyon asked innocently; but was unable to hide the faint signs of the color red on his cheeks; he was still bothered by what happened last night… and the ponytail that Haruhi had on. "She's… cuter than usual…" thought Kyon.

Haruhi, who also had no idea as to why she was in front of his house, thought of a simple yet, convincing lie that would look as if she was still her old self.

"I… came to ask you for… club activities!" Haruhi's lips twitched as she realized that her lie was almost perfect, if it wasn't for the constant presence of her now breeding shyness and liking towards her ever-hesitant follower. Of course, Kyon realized that she was involved with the incident last night, so he avoided that topic. He also avoided bringing up the subject as to why she was being so timid with him all of a sudden, lest to risk getting beheaded. They proceeded to school together. The atmosphere had everything necessary to become a romantic one. But they were speechless; they were afraid to talk to each other. Even Haruhi, who was known for her eccentric and reckless behavior, couldn't bear to speak to him. The whole trip to the school was silent until Haruhi, who was droning over him again, unconsciously wandered closer to him and their hands slightly brushed each other. This miniscule touch sent them both to the edge of oblivion. Their red faces met each other and were locked in that position. Kyon felt the world screech to a halt. The silence continued on for what seemed like an eternity and then, being possessed by the demon that originally got to him when he first talked to the girl, Kyon broke the silence between them in a statement he thought he could never let go in a million-billion years; though he said it accidentally, couldn't keep it to himself any longer.

"Haruhi… I-I… I love you…!"

Out of usual habit or conscious reflex, Kyon raised his arms to his head and prepared for an oncoming slap from the athletic brunette, which he fell in love with. "OMG! I'm dead! Why the hell did I have to say it now?" Kyon yelled to himself.

But, instead of a slap or a punch that could probably make even a grown up man wince in pain, Haruhi got rid of Kyon's averagely muscular arms from his face and pulled him in for a kiss. Kyon thought that Haruhi was teasing him; but the kiss felt more needing that mocking. He was utterly stunned by what the Goddess of the Universe did, although he was pretty sure that she was unaware of that fact.

Haruhi was too dazed at the thought of Kyon to stop. Her heart skipped countless beats as she continued to force-kiss her newfound love. She couldn't think straight; and that was enough to let her body take over from her mind. She wrapped her arms around Kyon's neck and took the simple, passionate kiss a step further. She opened her lips and pushed her tongue all the way inside Kyon's mouth, wrestling with his own.

Kyon, fighting the urge of his hands to work on their own, he scrunched his eyes as attempted to focus himself on the warm kiss.

"I… love you too…" Haruhi whispered as she pulled away from his lips. Their eyes met, showing their need for each other; not noticing that someone was watching them.

Haruhi and Kyon left their houses a bit earlier than usual. But, due to the little incident earlier that morning, they were late in getting to school.

"Okay, both of you, one tardy…" the teacher mumbled as he wrote something in his records. Haruhi and Kyon timidly walked back to their seats; on the farthest reaches of the chairs in the classroom, beside the windows; their face still faintly tainted red from earlier.

Haruhi, most especially, was the most mentally affected between them. She spaced out during most periods, getting scolded by teachers countless times. But her mind just wouldn't stop thinking about him; about how to approach him later on, about how to advance their newfound relationship, and about their kiss. The kiss that got her to want Kyon so much she couldn't just let it slide past her. She felt a surge of her usual self. Grinning, she told herself: "I'll get him. Even if it's the last thing I'll do." This sudden change in her mood sent a shiver down Kyon's spine.

"I could tell she's up to something." At that moment, he reminded himself to be wary of her for the rest of the day.

Sorry if the story proceeded too quickly. I just wanted to give the point that Haruhi and Kyon's relationship was starting. And, I'm switching between this story and a Rozen Maiden novel so I may not be updating this for a while. Watch out for the first chapter in my Rozen Maiden!
