Friendship Bracelet
Summary: Haruhi wasn't really one for friendship bracelets. Part of the Genre and Title Challenge on S H I N E issued by Demi-kun
"Fujioka-san." her secretary sounded. Haruhi was absent-mindedly playing with a bracelet that hung loosely from her wrist. "Fujioka-san." the secretary sounded again. This snapped Haruhi out of it.
"Hai?" Haruhi asked her secretary. "Do I have any visitors or something?"
"No. A-Ano I was wondering...not meaning to pry or anything, but I've noticed it for awhile now." the secretary said quietly. Haruhi smiled.
"Just spit it out Miharu-san." Haruhi told her. Miharu nodded.
"Why do you wear that all the time?" Miharu asked her, refering to the bracelet, which was obviously looking somewhat worn. "I've only been working for you for a year but it strikes me as odd. You aren't one for friendship bracelets are you?" Haruhi let out a chuckle.
"Normally I'm not. But what gave you the idea that it was a friendship bracelet?" Haruhi asked her.
"You normally wear it under your sleeve, but I've noticed a picture of what looks like you and two other gentlemen on there." Miharu said. "N-Not meaning to pry or anything of course..."
"They are two high school friends of mine. They bugged me for weeks for us to get friendship bracelets. I still don't understand why they wanted them so much..." Haruhi explained to Miharu. She looked at the picture fondly, it was taken in a photo booth at a mall near her house (making the twins deem it as a commoner mall of course, so the bracelets just HAD to be bought there). The twins and their smiling faces and Haruhi's 'Oh-my-god-kill-me-now' expression. Her's was red, the twins' were blue and orange.
"Oh, I see." Miharu replied. "Do you still talk to them?"
"At times," Haruhi replied "but it gets hard to talk to old friends you know..." suddenly the phone rang in the other room.
"Oh my!" Miharu yelped a little and jumped when she heard it, she bowed slightly. "Thank you for explaining." she scrambled outside to get the phone. "Office of Fujioka Haruhi, her secretary speaking. Ah. Okay. Let me redirect you to her phone." Miharu went back towards the door. "Fujioka-san. A Hittachin Kaoru and Hikaru on the phone for you."
Haruhi smiled. What a perfect timing.
"Oi Haruhi!"the twins sounded on the other side of the phone. "Interested in a lunch date?"
"Why of course, hey, do you want to go to the mall while we're at it? You remember the one we bought the bracelets at..."
