The Alphabet Notebook

B – Barren Land
To my the world was merely a landscape of barren mountains that had to be climbed and overcome. My older brothers, Akito and Yuichii? Mere obstacles in the way to success.
I didn't do a single thing that didn't help me get over one of the many mountains in my path.
Until she came along.

"There's no merit to this Kyoya-sempai," she said softly, staring up at me with those ever wandering, ever curious chocolate eyes. They showed no fear even though I was on top of her, a man looking down on his female victim. "You know that."
I stared at her for a moment before chuckling darkly. I knew there was no merit. There was the merit for her if it taught her a lesson, but there was no merit for me.
Sleeping with a commoner wouldn't do anything for me except, perhaps, anger out friends if they ever found out.
And yet, it still got me that she was easily able to talk to me about merit with no fear while she wasn't in a position to be talking about it. I stayed where I was for a moment longer before shifting to move off of her.
I sat on the edge of the bed while she pushed herself up. Her hand touched my shoulder gently. "Sempai?"
"Yes, Haruhi?" I replied quietly, turning to gaze at her.
"You're really a kind person inside. Thank you for trying to teach me a lesson," she murmured, smiling widely.
That smile and those simple words, that was all the excuse I needed to smile back at her.
And perhaps, because of her, those mountains in that vast, ever-changing world would start to look a little less barren.

A/N: Sitting in a hotel room as I type this. Yay for free wifi. Thought this up in the car on the way here actually. Didn't get a chance to see any of the suggestions people left. And I may or may not have one for C. Feel free to leave suggestions for any letter that you please.
Anyone recognize this scenario?
Kudos to: HHxHF4ever, Kiriyu-chan, Charley Reede, kyouyaootooriandharuhiforever, and Kuramasredredrose.
Man, I'm beat.
