~I DO NOT OWN THE MELANCHOLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA If I did, I'd get season 3 rolling already.
- Monday
God… Today has got to be one of the most boring days of my life… and I'm not just talking about normal boring, I'm talking about the kind of boredom that drives you nearly insane. I'm sitting here at my desk, staring out this stupid window, the one I always look out of. Its lunchtime and I have no idea why I haven't jumped out of my desk like I usually do. I guess I just don't feel like it today. Even the clubroom's starting to lose its edge! If I don't find SOMETHING to do in the next thirty seconds I think I might actually die of boredom.
My eyes glanced towards Kyon, who was sitting in front of me with the two people whose names I can't even begin to bother to remember… I think one of them started with a K… whatever his name is; I don't mind him as much as the other one, whatever his name starts with. But I noticed that Kyon was waving his arms in front of their faces… like he was trying to keep something quiet… Now this seems interesting, wonder what they're talking about.
"Shh, don't talk about this here!" I heard Kyon mutter. What are you trying to hide from me Kyon? I'll find out soon enough…
"Why not dude, I thought you'd be happy! I mean, it only comes once a year!" the one with the stupid haircut replied. What are they talking about? Once a year? Halloween? Christmas?
I could only see the back of Kyon's head but I could tell he was giving the one with a dumb haircut an angry face, "Not while Haruhi's here! If she finds out she'll want to make this a bigger thing than it needs to be, so just shut up about it!" Keeping secrets from me Kyon? I'll make sure there's a penalty in order for you when you get the clubroom.
Kyon's other friend suddenly spoke up, "Why would she do that? It's only your birthday."
"What?!" I slammed my hands onto the table and couldn't help myself as I burst out with emotion.
"Agh… dammit…" Kyon's palm fell onto his face with a light slap.
I quickly moved out of my seat and stumbled over to Kyon's desk. Finally, something I could get involved with! I snatched Kyon's tie and brought him close to my face, "Why didn't you tell me your birthday was coming up!"
I watched his face give an annoyed look to me but I was too lost with sheer excitement for me to even slightly care. "Mostly because of this…"
"Your brigade chief is here, drowning in boredom and you have this kept all to yourself?! Talk about selfish, Kyon." I let go of his tie and turned around, walking slowly back to my desk, "OK then! I've decided! We're going to throw you the biggest birthday bash ever!" I threw my hands into the air to exaggerate this, as if it needed to be anyway.
"What?! No! This is exactly the OPPOSITE of what I wanted! All I want is to just enjoy the day in sile—"
"Sorry, Kyon! Your brigade chief has spoken! I'll be coming to your house at around six, so be ready! We're going to start planning tonight!" I could feel a smile creep up onto my face as I sat at my desk and waited for school to finally be over.
I watched the one with dumb hair look at Kyon one last time, "I can see why you wanted to keep this a secret… sorry buddy…"
I giggled a little as I heard Kyon sigh and place his face into his hands once more. "A little late for that…"
A little late indeed, Kyon! Oooh, this is gonna be so much fun!
For the rest of the day I sat at my desk unable to keep my excitement contained. I don't know why this has gotten me so excited, but it's definitely a better change of pace than what's been going on recently around here.
Since I knew most of the material already I didn't bother listening to the rest of the lectures. Usually I just sleep through the classes but I was too excited to do anything but watch the clock until it finally hit that magic number! I wasted no time as I quickly grabbed my things and ran out of the room as fast as I could. I could see the hallways blur around me as I made my way to the SOS brigade room. I couldn't wait to tell everyone the great news!
I swung open the door and slammed it against the wall, a smile shining brightly on my face. I walked into the room and looked around; Mikuru seems to have just finished changing into her maid outfit. It's still one of my best ideas ever. I closed the door behind me and walked past Koizumi who I think was setting up another dumb board game that he and Kyon always play. I passed Yuki and stood in front of the computer. I turned and watched the door, waiting for Kyon to arrive before I finally told everyone the good news!
Soon enough, he finally arrived!
"Hey." He waved at all of us and I watched him sit down at the same table as Koizumi.
"Alright then! Everyone's here!" I clapped my hands together and walked over to the large whiteboard that was next to the wall. "As Kyon already knows, I've got some great news for everyone!" I grabbed a black marker and stepped in front of the board.
I began to write large letters on the giant white board. The marker continued to squeak as I was nearing the halfway point. I giggled and finished writing. I turned around and smashed the cap back onto the marker. I placed it down and slapped my hand onto the board to bring everyone's attention to me. "Kyon's birthday is coming up everyone! And I've decided that we need to host a big birthday bash for him!"
I looked around the room for reactions, as usual, Mikuru had a confused look on her face but it seemed to be mixed with a little surprise as well! Yuki still had on her usual face though, but I don't think anything really surprises her anyway. And as always, Koizumi had on his usual smile, it was a little creepy but I didn't mind too much. Finally, Kyon was pouting, as he usually does, but I didn't mind, he always does this.
"I think that's a great idea, Ms. Suzumiya!" Koizumi gave me a thumb up and as always, loved my ideas, why can't anyone else agree with me like he does?
"I knew it was!" I laughed and walked over to Kyon, slamming my hands onto the table in front of him. I watched him jump and look at me with a surprised face. I smiled and grabbed his tie once more, bringing his face next to mine. "By the way, Kyon. You're getting a serious penalty for trying to keep this a secret from your brigade chief! You're lucky I don't kick you out for treason!"
"And what is it I have to do…?"
I felt my devious laugh leave my lips, "oh, you'll see." I roughly let him go and walked back up to the board, "Well, you can all go now! I'm going over to Kyon's today to start planning the date of the party! Whether he likes it or not!"
"I can't wait to hear what you've got planned Ms. Suzumiya!" Koizumi picked up his bag and soon walked out the door, "see you tomorrow!" He waved and finally left.
"I um… I guess I'll leave to… good luck with your planning tonight Kyon-kun…" Mikuru left with her maid outfit on… oh well, she's probably just going to wash it.
"Thank you Ms. Asahina…"
I rolled my eyes and waited for the door to finally close.
"Alright Haruhi… so what is this penalty I've got to pay for?"
I felt my mischievous smile return. "I've been saving this for a special occasion…" I walked over to the closet and pulled out some outfits, "you see… I had so much fun finding costumes for Mikuru, I eventually found some for men too. But I knew I would never get you to wear any… until now." I held two outfits in my hands and continued to walk closer to him.
"C-C'mon, Haruhi… let's talk about this…" He put his hands up in defense, but it was too late…
"And what's even better…" I placed one of the outfits down and reached behind the computer, grabbing a video camera. "This is going to be documented…"
"N-Now hold on a second, Haruhi! If I'm going to go through with this, you need to promise me that no one else but you see's this!"
I looked at him for a moment, to be honest; I was kind of surprised he was actually considering this. But, I guess I should humor him at least… "Fine, No one else but me will see this. Happy?"
I heard him sigh, admitting his defeat. He should have known that when it comes to me, I ALWAYS win! But, soon enough, I realize that this penalty is going to hurt me, more than it's going to hurt Kyon…
It's almost six o'clock and I'm on my way to Kyon's house! I can't believe I spent so much time preparing for this. I mean, I've been there before, but for some reason this feels different. I'm also going to finally meet his parents; I don't really remember meeting anyone but his sister.
Finally, his house is in view. I stopped in front of the white steps and looked around. The sun was shining and I could feel its heat despite it being late fall. I walked up and opened the gate and soon stood in front of his door. I knocked lightly and waited for someone to answer. It took a while, but finally the door cracked open and I could see a tiny face appear at about half my height.
The brown haired girl that was unmistakably Kyon's sister looked up at me. She quickly turned around and began to shout, "Kyon! Your girlfriend is here!" I couldn't help but lightly blush at this… what an outrageous statement, me and Kyon? As if I'd ever let that happen.
I heard the tumbling of stairs as I heard Kyon shouting at his kid sister. The door soon swung open and he looked at me dead in the eyes, "I'm sorry about that…"
I laughed and pushed him aside, "Don't worry about it, it's not like that would ever happen anyway." I took a step inside and looked around the small room. It was small, but still nice. Kyon soon took a step in front of me and stopped me from walking into the kitchen.
"Listen, Haruhi. My parents are… a little judgmental… so please be on your best behavior if you want this stupid idea to work." Wow, Kyon. I didn't know you cared so much about what your parents thought of me or that you were so eager to actually have this party.
"Don't worry your boring old head, Kyon. I promise to be nice." I winked and brushed him aside to finally step into their equally tiny kitchen. The room consisted of a medium sized round table with four chairs, a small counter with a sink in the middle and a drying rack next to it. I turned my head slightly to the right to see a stove with a refrigerator sitting next to it. The kitchen was small, but it seems that it worked.
I saw his parents sitting at the table and looking at me with a pleasant face. True to my word, I bowed in respect, "Hello! My name is Haruhi Suzumiya; I'm Kyon's friend from class! It's nice to meet you!" I stood up and walked over to them.
Kyon's mother smiled at me, "Hi! It's nice to meet such a nice looking girl! Kyon, where has she been hiding all this time?" I felt myself blush again and scratch the back of my head while Kyon just looked away shyly.
"U-Um… K-Kyon and I aren't dating or anything… just friends." I smiled nervously at her and could feel my cheeks heating up.
"Oh, that's fine, that's fine. It's nice to meet you Ms. Suzumiya, my name is Minori and this is my husband, Ryuji." She pointed over to the man sitting at the other end of the table; he also had a slight smile on his face.
Kyon's mother's hair was a bright red color that lightly shined as the lights within the house glowed. Her hair reached about halfway down her neck and lightly touched the collar on her shirt. She had on a no sleeved shirt that was pink in front and white in the back along with knee-cap low shorts. Her smile was almost as bright as mine was and she seemed nice enough! I don't know what Kyon was so worried about. I looked over to his father whose hair was a dark brown with a long sleeve white flannel shirt. The shirt was unbuttoned and under it was a bright blue undershirt. He was wearing dark black khaki pants that just passed his ankles.
"Please, come sit down with us, Ms. Suzumiya!" I felt her lightly grab my arm and pull me towards the table. I smiled nervously and sat down next to her. I watched as Kyon sat next to his father and directly in front of me.
"P-Please, just call me Haruhi, I mean, Kyon does."
"Ooooo!" His parents said in unison, "Calling her by her first name without any honorifics? Kyon you dog you!" Kyon's father lightly nudged his son's arm and I could see another light blush on his face, this was obviously embarrassing for him and especially for me…
"Trust me dad, we're just friends." I heard him blankly state.
"Ryuji, stop teasing him! Now, Haruhi, Kyon said you were coming over to discuss something with us?"
I coughed for a second and smiled at her, "Y-Yes, um. See, Kyon's birthday is coming up and—"
"And you want to throw him a birthday party?!" His mother quickly cut me off, "That's so nice of you!" I felt her grab me and squeeze me into a very, very tight hug.
"Y-Yes! I-I just n-need the date!" I could feel myself being cut off from air as this tight hug had my chest squeezed up against her stomach, leaving me from getting anything but little bits of air.
I felt myself fall back as she suddenly released me, "I-I'm sorry about that! I just got excited is all." She scratched the back of her head and looked at me nervously, "See, we don't have the money to throw Kyon a birthday party anymore so we kind of just… have a little family time of our own."
"It's nice of you to do this Haruhi, but you really don't have to." Ryuji cut in.
"Oh, but I want to! I think it'll be a lot of fun and I'm sure Kyon would finally have fun to! I mean, instead of just moping around in the clubroom like he does every day." I gave them a warm smile but suddenly noticed that the smiling faces of Kyon's parents had ceased.
"Moping around?" Minori soon spoke up and then looked to her son. "Kyon, what does she mean by that?"
"N-Nothing! Haruhi's just making stupid jokes! Aren't you?" He shot me a glare.
I looked at him for a second and then back to his parents, "U-Um… yeah! Haha! What I mean is that Kyon just isn't as active as the rest of the members of the brigade!" I watched Kyon put his face into his palms once more… I guess that didn't help all that much.
Ryuji looked at his son for a moment and then back to me, "I'd like to thank you for getting our son out of bed on the weekends instead of sleeping like he used to, Haruhi." His father had a stern face on and looked back to his son, "Kyon's birthday is next week so I hope that if you want to go through with this you've got enough time to prepare."
I couldn't help but feel bad as Kyon's parents' happy expressions turned into annoyance and disappointment. "O-Ok…" I stood up in the chair and bowed again, "Thank you for your help. That should be plenty of time." I smiled warmly and stepped out of the kitchen, "And, when I said Kyon wasn't as active, I didn't mean that he's lazy or anything, it's just that the other club members have SO much spare energy that when compared to Kyon, who does his fair share, it just SEEMS like he's not as active, but… um…"
"Thank you, Haruhi. We need to talk to our son, alright? Don't worry about it." Minori gave me another smile, but I couldn't help feel that it was forced and… faked… but, there was nothing else I could do.
"Alright then… see you in class tomorrow, Kyon." I lightly waved goodbye and watched his head look down towards the floor, I frowned slightly.
"Yeah… bye Haruhi." He never looked up and his mother stood in front of him while his father looked at him from his seat.
I stepped out of the house and closed the door. I could soon hear some muffled words and some shouts, obviously from Kyon's parents. I started feeling a little guilty about the whole thing, considering it WAS my fault… but, I'll just have to forget about it for now. I'm sure it can't be TOO bad. Now, with Sunday's date being Kyon's birthday, I'll have to work overtime if I want this to be the best damn party ever! Just you wait Kyon; this is going to be your best birthday yet!"
And so ends part 1! I hope you enjoyed this! By the way, I left some Easter eggs in for Kyon's parents names… if you can figure out where the names came from then you win a mention in the next chapter! Please review! It fills me with joy just to read your comments!
