The Love of Haruhi Suzumiya
Author's Note: This story is a prototype. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, where I'm going with it, and if people like the idea. If you like it, please tell me. If you don't like it, tell me why! I also find the title to be way to generic. If you have any suggestions, please tell me them!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Haruhi. Little does he know it, Nagaru Tanigawa doesn't either. The only one who can control Haruhi is Kyon. You can laugh here.

I did it again. I'm not sure how, but it happened. I was slowly woken up by a voice, finally recognizing it after many failed attempts to stay asleep. After opening my eyes, Haruhi stood up.
"Finally. Kyon, where are we?" she asked quietly. I looked around. We were at school. When did this happen? Wait, there was something that just wasn't right.
The sky.
A gray, dull sky No lights showed anywhere. No way. Could this get any worse?
"Have you seen anyone else?" I asked, already knowing the answer. Haruhi shook her head.
"I remember falling asleep in my futon, then waking up here," she said. I got up and looked around. Definitely a closed space. She followed me around, once again running into the barrier. It seemed to have spread a few feet.
"Let's see if we can call anyone from the school," I suggested, trying to keep this as similar as before. Haruhi must have realized this too, hasn't she? She looked a little frustrated. She stopped and turned to me.
"Hasn't this...happened before?" she asked. How do I answer. If I agree, I doubt much good will result. I feigned confusion.
"Huh? How is this familiar?" I said, looking around the dull, lifeless world around us. She looked down again, unpleased. Reaching the staff room, I smashed the window. Haruhi tried the phone, but to no avail. I started to the clubroom before realizing I wasn't being followed. I looked back. Haruhi eyed me suspiciously.
"Kyon. Why are you so calm about this?" she asked. Uh oh. Thank goodness my mind happened to have thought of this beforehand. Hope it works, I thought. Haruhi is sharp when it comes to these things.
"Have I ever been one to panic?" I asked. I mentally hit myself. I never talk that way. To my relief, Haruhi, after taking some time to think about, nodded. I didn't think she'd give up yet though. We headed to the clubroom, and I noticed Haruhi was looking around a lot more. If she is too thoughtful, getting out could get difficult.
"You want some tea," I offered. Haruhi nodded.
"Sure," she confirmed, walking over and sitting down. She took the cup. I silently noted that change. Last time Haruhi went and explored the school. That means Koizumi can't come. So much for routine. Haruhi stood up, teacup emptied.
"Stay here," she ordered. She walked to the door, slightly glanced back, then walked off. Realizing this, I went to open the window. On cue, a red sphere flew over the window.
"Koizumi, don't tell me it's the same situation again," I said, frustrated. The sphere took a human shape, and Koizumi laughed. I couldn't help but glare.
"It is. With some differences. You've probably seen that though," he explained. Other than Haruhi's delayed exit, not really.
"I guarantee bending Haruhi's will will be just as, if not more, difficult than before," Great. As if last time wasn't enough.
"Don't worry. You've done it before. The agency believes you can do it. No, you have to do it. It's seems as though the panic is less now. Preventing the end of the world last time attracted some people. We're are rooting for you," he said, shrinking back into a sphere. Now I have fans? I'm stuck in a closed space with an eccentric goddess who is intrigued by the giants. If it's going to be harder, what am I supposed to do now? Last time was hard enough. There's also the fact that Haruhi suspects something.
"Do what you have to. I hope to see you again in this world," he said, vanishing. Always with the dramatic exits...
I guessed there was no need to get on the computer, or Koizumi would have mentioned it. After all, I have done this before. I turned around, taking in the bright glowing light a giant outside the window. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...The door behind me opened quickly, slamming into the wall. Haruhi ran in.
"Kyon, something's outside!" She ran over, looking at it in awe. "It's just like before," she muttered before asking, "Is it an alien?" By instinct more than memory, I grabbed Haruhi's wrist and ran for it. The giant hit something, because the shock waves caused me to lose my balance.
"Hold on, Kyon! What are you doing?" she questioned. There wasn't a time for an answer. Quickly standing up, I bolted down the halls outside, heading for the baseball field. She groaned, weakly trying to stop me.
"I don't think that thing wants to be friends," he mentioned. She stopped, then looked back at it in awe.
"Kyon, can you believe it? Something exciting is happening," she exclaimed, once again enthused by the giants. I tried to think back to what I said the last time we were here. One wrong word and I could mess up.
"Do you want to return to the original world?" I asked, trying to remain calm. Haruhi pulled back, much harder than before, seperating us and almost making me fall over.
"What do you mean?" she asked. She was frowing. Not good at all. Heard heard three consecutive crashes, and noticed the giants had multiplied. Four now. I can't afford to stall this.
"To Koizumi, Asahina-san, Nagato, and the others. To the SOS Brigade," I responded, trying to sway her. She looked at me as if I was an alien. Okay...Not a good comparison anymore...
"This is new. Exciting. There's no need to look for mysterious events anymore," she said stubbornly. This is Haruhi, of course.
"But I miss the old world. Going to school, to the SOS Brigade. Even that damn hill," I stated.
"Huh?" she said, confused by my words. Must have been the hill comment. With Haruhi's athletic abilities, she probably didn't notice. I ignored her look and specified.
"I want to go back to how it was. Back to normal," I said softly. She frowned.
"Aren't you bored of that world? Doing the same thing everyday?" she argued. I sighed, as responded.
"I may have used to, but not anymore. This last year I've have done some interesting things. You are the center of it all. You may not have realized it, but there are many interesting things around us," I explained, seeing her resistance waver. I put my hands on her shoulders, and prepared to repeat the last time. She shoved away.
"What's gotten into you? What do you mean?" she said, looking as if she were desperate. I don't blame her. Once again, I put my hands on her shoulders. She didn't move away, though she wouldn't look at me. She looked pretty ticked.
"Haruhi." I spole in a soft, sincere tone. She looked up at me, hesitant. Seeing as the ponytail line would have made her suspicious, I softly stated a new line.
"You said that you were insignificant. Just like everyone else. I must disagree. You are the most extraordinary person I've ever met."
Her eyes widened. I moved in and my lips touch hers. She closed her eyes, though I didn't pay attention to her face. Looking where I could, I saw the giants had disappeared. The sky remained as gray as it always was. Koizumi was right. I traced her lower lip with my tongue, her lips parting. I slipped my tongue into her mouth. She tensed, and pushed away.
"What are you doing?!" she yelled. She looked pissed, but her face was flushed and her breathing hard. I my thoughts that she really was mad vanished when couldn't hold eye contact. I walked up to her. She backed up a few steps, before stooping. Her head remained lowered. I cupped my hand on her chin, and she looked up, eyes mixed with emotion.
"K-Kyon..." she started, but I dove in again, mashing our mouths together. She didn't back away this time. Instead, she took the advance, attacking my mouth her her tongue. She put her hands in my hair. Mine unconsciously found themselves on her waist. Our tongues fought for dominance. Haruhi leaned into me, and I, unprepared, lost my balance. Thinking about the situation, I broke away from her lips. If our teeth clashed, it wouldn't feel very pleasant. I hit the ground, Haruhi on top of me. She looked down at me, deep eyes brimming with emotion. I brought my hand up to move a stray stand of hair behind her ear. She shivered.
"You really shouldn't have cut it. It really fit you," I said, not in an accusatory tone, but kindly. She blinked, and did something that shocked me completely. Haruhi Suzumiya, fearless Goddess who I've known for a year now, blushed. I couldn't help but smile at my achievement. Noticing my grin, her blush vanished, replaced by a pout. I stroked my thumb across her cheek. She closed her eyes, her head slightly moving toward my hand. I brought my finger down to her chin line, tracing down her neck and across her collarbone. she shivered, trembling from the contact.
Testing my chances, I licked the side of her side experimentally. She gasped, and her head leaned in the opposite direction. I continued to lick her neck. She let out of moan into the cloth on her shoulder, muffling it. How frustrating. I stopped, and she looked at me, somewhat disapproving. I kissed again, delving my tongue into her mouth, and slipped a hand a little under her shirt. When my hand brushed her stomach, she moaned into my mouth. I lightly pushed up her shirt, revealing a thin beige line of her bra. She broke away and shifted uncomfortably. I have never seen this side of Haruhi. Head still turned to the side, she looked at me nervously and whispered my name. I leaned in close and say the plain obvious truth, which I would never normally admit. Her eyes gained a glimmer, and a genuine smile found itself on her face. She lunged forward and hugged me, while I watched the gray nightmare of a closed space dissipate.
I opened my eyes again to see myself in my bed, as expected. Going back to sleep, I guessed how the day would go. Haruhi would be tired and quiet, and I'd cheer her up. After school, Nagato would nod at me and Koizumi would welcome me back. Asahina-san would be happy to see me again, though avoid contact due to Haruhi. However, my thoughts were incorrect this time.
Haruhi didn't come to school that day. The reaction of the trio were similar, but less energetic. The normally cheerful Koizumi looked exhausted, still glad that the world wasn't replaced. By what Nagato said, we were gone much longer than last time. Last time it was two and a half hours. This time is was four. It seems Asahina-san was sure of my success, so the excitement was lower. Not that I mind. I stopped a bored goddess from replacing the world. Though I do wonder why said goddess is absent today...
