Disclaimer: I do not own The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, or its character's, only what I am writing.

Okay! So, after reading my previous work "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya by: Kyon", and after all the support it got even though it was just a one shot, I decided to make a sequel to the story!

Hope it's good! Now read it, I demand you!

Chapter 2

The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya by: Kyon

Confetti and balloons blasted off in different directions. A sign that read, "Congratulations Kyon!" was unveiled, and more loud cheers followed. The SOS Brigade, whose main functions were to find Aliens, time travellers, and Espers, took a break off from their normal duties to...

...surprisingly enough, celebrate the publishing of my first novel, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya"

Yup, the story that I wrote out of boredom got published, and in under two months too!

I have a feeling that my all powerful girlfriend had something to do with the shockingly fast publishing of my book...

Oh wait a minute...what's that? Oh yeah, did I mention that I'm dating Haruhi now? I asked her out the day after I finished writing my novel.

Well, technically, she asked me out...but by now you should know that Haruhi will never let me or anybody else admit that.

Typical Haruhi...

As I watched Haruhi Suzumiya wrestle the poor Asahina san into a maid outfit, I realised, not for the first time, that there was nothing "typical" about that girl. No, no...Haruhi was anything but.

"You look like your having a good time"

I didn't even need to look at the source of the voice to know that it was Itsuki Koizumi, an esper.

"Well, normally, when someone get's their book published in just two months...one would be pretty happy"

Koizumi chuckled as if I said the funniest thing in the world. If I wasn't in such a good mood, I would be annoyed.

"Well yes...I guess I would be pretty happy if I were you...and plus..."

Koizumi nodded to a certain girl laughing hysterically as she sexually harasses her sempai.

"...you have her too..."

I looked at Koizumi. For a second, I swear I saw regret, and frustration. In no time at all, whatever I saw, quickly faded, faster than snow melting on your mouth.

"Kyon and Koizumi, what are you doing standing there like idiots? Come over here, Nagato is starting with the speeches!"

Haruhi, you don't have to be so loud!

Koizumi grinned, "Well, we wouldn't want to keep her waiting. Shall we?"

Itsuki Koizumi, you are beyond creepy.

Nonetheless, I followed the ever smiling esper to where the girls are. Everyone was still wearing their uniforms, but the girls wore make up before the party. For some reason, Haruhi insisted that we have our party in the club room. I offered that we go to some fancy restaurant, but Haruhi argued that most of our memories centered in this clubroom, and so do the events in my novels. So we ended up having it here in the end...unsurprisingly, Haruhi had it her way again.

Even though I was dead set on celebrating somewhere special, I can't help but secretly agree with Haruhi (and not just because she's my girlfriend, and the whole she's God and can destroy the world on a whim thing. Oh, just for the record, Haruhi thinks that everything in the novel is fictional, so that's a plus), that this clubroom is special. I met Nagato and Asahina san here, the SOS Brigade was started here, and it was in this room where I wrote my book and still the same room that Haruhi Suzumiya became my girlfriend.

The SOS Brigade clubroom is indeed magical, a place where memories, no matter how small or nonsensical abodes. And as long as this clubroom stands, I will always have those memories in my heart.

All eyes were now on the soft spoken alien Yuki Nagato. I was surprised that Nagato had volunteered to give her speech first...no, I was surprised that she even had a speech!

Nagato had her many talents and abilities, but unfortunately, showing emotions...talking properly...she had none of those basic functions. Maybe that's why I feel so protective of her?

It's like how I feel towards Asahina san. I just wish that the girl would be more self confident, and while I'm at it, the girl could learn to lock the door can't she? I can't recall how many times I've walked in on her while she's changing. I don't mind though...

I got a nudge from Haruhi. Ouch! Wait...don't tell me that she...

"You had a perverted look on your face while you were looking at Mikuru chan...Wipe it off!"

Even though we are still dating, Haruhi still treats me the same.

"...Don't look at other girls like that except for me...Okay?"

I smiled, and petted her head, and wiping some hair off her forehead.

Haruhi blushed as I did so.

"Idiot..." she remarked.

Now that I think about it, I don't mind how she treats me at all. And besides, that smile she just gave me...

...no matter how many times I see it...just...wow...

After a while, Nagato finally spoke.

"I would like to give my congratulations to fellow club member and classmate...Kyon..."

Everyone's jaw dropped. Nagato has never called me by my nickname before!

I was just a bit upset that she looked so hesitant when she said my name, but I understand how awkward it could be even for Nagato. Wait, maybe I should call her Yuki now?

Ouch! I got another nudge from Haruhi.

After the commotion was over, we waited for the rest of Yuki's speech.

"..."

"..."

"..."

There is...more right?

"That is all"

Rats...just when I thought that Yuki...I mean Nagato has started to open up more...

As Nagato left the "stage" (It was just a card board box) she handed me a book.

"Read it later" she said, with her usual monotone voice.

Hints of anxiety could be seen on her pale, lifeless face.

I noticed a bookmark sticking out of one of the pages. Was it one of Nagato's messages? I hoped that it wasn't about a new threat or some malevolent being out for my head. No, I don't want that, not now, just when things are going so well for me...

I guess what I worried about most was Haruhi. Something tells me, that I can face any danger and any threat, but losing Haruhi would be the end of me. Somehow, when I started dating Haruhi, I finally realised that it wasn't just the whole world that revolved around her, but my life also. Haruhi chose me, but sometimes I wonder if I chose her first.

Next it was Asahina san's turn. Needless to say, her speech turned out clumsy and disorganized. Oh poor Asahina san, stay strong!

"Uh...um, Kyon is a great guy! He is very nice! Um...he is very reliable with...classified information...oh darn! Sorry, please forget that I said that!"

In case Asahina san reveals more trade secrets, she was politely escorted out of the stage. Nice try Asahina san...

Haruhi stared at me with those silky brown eyes of hers. They burned a hole through my own. Haruhi's eyes were like mini black holes, I found myself being sucked into those deep dark mysterious orbs.

"Kyon...what did she mean by 'classified information'?"

Its classified Haruhi! What would be the point if I told you?

What I got was a jab in the guts.

"You moron..." A pout followed her insult. I found it very sexy...

Say Haruhi? What about later you wear that cute bunny suit again and we can...

Oof! Another jab...

Now, I am not a freak but...the repetitive pain that Haruhi gives me is starting to feel, really, really nice.

Okay, maybe I am a freak. And there's that ponytail thing too...

Koizumi was up next with the speeches. As usual, it was elaborate, long, and completely kiss ass. He practically wrote a biography about me, and I don't even remember telling him most of this stuff. There's the possibility that he got the information from his "organization" but it's still an invasion of privacy!

After half an hour past, Koizumi was still only on the childhood phase of my life. Thank God, Haruhi put a stop to his boredom parade.

Koizumi reluctantly gave the stage to his Brigade Chief. Poor guy, he must have spent a lot of time on his speech, and plus he made if for me...

...who am I kidding? He bored me to tears.

Haruhi stood at the stage with her usual revved up smile; it sent me kilowatts of energy just gazing at it. She tied her hair to a ponytail. I realised that ever since she read my book, Haruhi wore a ponytail often, obviously just for my sick needs. I admit I was worried that she would find out about her powers or at least be suspicious when she read that part of the story, "The Dream". Haruhi had the same one no doubt, and I was cautious around her ever since she read that last chapter. Fortunately, Haruhi thinks that us sharing a dream was just proof of our bond as soul mates. Okay, it wasn't like that at first. Haruhi started freaking out and insisting that she and I were some kind of super Espers. What happened next was...a mess that I let Itsuki and his buddies take care of themselves. Hey, I promised that I'd keep an eye ever Haruhi, that doesn't mean I have to do the dirty work right?

"Kyon, are you even listening?"

I snapped back to reality. Haruhi started already, oh crap...

"Your girl..." she blushed, so kawaii. "...your Brigade Chief made a special speech just for an underling like you and you don't even listen?"

Hey, I am listening! I just don't look like it!

Haruhi clenched her fist; she looked like a child ready to throw a tantrum.

"Okay...since you did such a fine job portraying my character in your story I will give you another chance to hear my speech!"

Wahoo...

"Don't be sarcastic with me Kyon! God, I swear you think things will change when you start dating with the guy..."

I can't believe she just said that. What happened to keeping our relationship low profile? Well, considering that the whole nation read our entire confession in my novel...our love isn't exactly private now.

"Okay! Listen up; I'll start from the beginning."

Haruhi cleared her throat and looked over some notes, then resumed her speech.

"The first day I met Kyon, I thought he was just another guy trying to get into my pants..."

I nearly choked on the coca cola I was drinking.

What the hell Haruhi!

Koizumi laughed at my reaction, and even Asahina san had a hard time trying not to smile. As for Yuki...at least she looked partially interested...well at least she's looking at Haruhi's direction.

Haruhi nodded as if trying to affirm that I am a sex craved predator.

"Yup, it's true; you can practically see it in his eyes. I swear, if you're going to flirt in the first place then at least try to be charming"

I hid my face with both hands in shame. This is totally not going in the second novel Haruhi, I swear!

"I almost forgot about him, you know me, I'm not interested in normal human beings!"

Oh great...so she forgot about me? Well, it made sense. So many guys must have hit on her in the first week of school. I was just another guy...I hate to agree, but as Haruhi said, "Trying to get in her pants".

Haruhi continued, "...sometime later, the same Kyon had the balls to talk to me again. I admit, it must have taken an incredible amount of bravery to do such a thing after being rejected. Or most likely he's just that desperate..."

This time no one laughed, probably because that "meeting" that Haruhi was talking about, was what led to everything, the dangers, the trials, the fun...this one conversation was the catalyst, the spark.

Haruhi thought that no one got the joke. No...This was serious, no one wanted to laugh, not even Koizumi. I think Haruhi must have noticed it too. It wasn't a laughing matter, she might have thought. No matter how many times she calls me "idiot" or, "moron", It's obvious that she loves me, and that I loved her. If I didn't talk to her that one day, it would all be ruined; the life that we built together would collapse like a house of cards.

It got pretty awkward, but as expected from the fearless brigade chief, she managed to break the ice again and continue.

"Okay...so Kyon was the first guy to notice why I change my hair every day. To be honest...and by the way, I am only going to say this once...I was impressed."

A series of gasp overtook the brigade clubroom. Haruhi looked embarrassed, it's like we were saying that it was such a huge surprise to hear one compliment from the great Haruhi Suzumiya. Anyone would be upset, but Haruhi being Haruhi, she was just plain annoyed.

"Oh shut up! And by the way, that's the last time I'm going to say it okay? Wipe that smirk off your face Kyon!"

Smirking? What smirking? I have no idea what you're saying...

Haruhi cleared her throat, muttering what sounded like "stupid"

"Okay...where was I? Oh yeah! Okay so...no one and I mean no one had even bothered to think about how I think or why I acted the way I did. All those other guys only thought about what they saw on the outside, but Kyon...somehow, he saw the real me"

Haruhi...you are full of surprises aren't you?

I walked up to Haruhi until we were a few inches apart, I could feel her hot breath tingling my skin. I could also feel the stares I was getting from the rest of the club, but they were pretty used to seeing this anyways so...what the heck...

"Kyon...what are you doing? My speech, I'm not done..."

Haruhi couldn't finish that sentence; she was too busy with my lips.

That moment, that extremely romantic moment and if I do say so I thought I was pretty cool, a certain group of idiots showed up.

"Hey Kyon, buddy! Congrats on you're..."

I knew that it was only Taniguchi and Kunikida but still it was...sort of embarrassing. I push Haruhi away like a child would to an old toy, and normally Haruhi would be pretty upset with the rough treatment, but this time she stayed quiet.

"Whoa! Haruhi nyan, Kyon nyan! Go find a bed you two, Nyoro~" cried a certain green haired Chihuahua called Tsuruya.

What is this, a comedy sketch?

Haruhi was furious. I didn't know if it was because our kiss got interrupted or...actually I can't think of any other reason. I know I'm upset...

"I don't remember inviting you two!" declared Haruhi, rudely pointing at Taniguchi and Kunikida.

Okay, so Tsuruya san was let off the hook for that stupid comment? Now she got me thinking about it...Haruhi and I...on the same bed...It'll happen someday...

No! I will refuse to fall into my hormonal web of delusions!

"Aw...come on Suzumiya! We just came to celebrate Kyon's great achievement!" hollered Taniguchi.

I wonder why I`m even friends with this guy. No! Acquaintance, acquaintance! He`s only an acquaintance. Being grouped as ``friends`` with Taniguchi is like being classified in the same class as a gorilla, no...Make that an amoeba. Gorilla`s have even more dignity and class that this guy.

``Taniguchi san, Kunikida san, Tsuruya san, you are just in time...`` said Koizumi, I hope he`s helping me. ``...you are just in time for Suzumiya san`s speech, she just started...oh but she was rudely interrupted by our Kyon here...``

The triple comedy act giggled like little girls. I swear Koizumi...I don`t know if you`re in my side or if you`re some kind of unsuspected antagonist. If he was, then that would be the worst plot twist ever.

Haruhi glared at Koizumi. I admit, I owe Koizumi one for torturing her. Since we started dating, Haruhi has been doing nothing but teasing me. One minute, she`ll look like she`s totally up for it, then the next she`ll leave you high and dry.

After everyone settled, the newcomers took they`re seats. Taniguchi and Kunikida sat next to me. I asked Kunikida to sit between Taniguchi and me. I don`t want to hear him yapping the whole time Haruhi is speaking. Kunikida was pretty cool with it. Thank you Kunikida, you are a life saver!

As expected, Tsuruya san sat with Asahina san and Koizumi. Tsuruya practically bit off poor Asahina san`s ear. Asahina san squealed and Koizumi had to practically pull Tsuruya out of Asahina san. It reminds me of the time Haruhi did that to the same poor girl. Does Haruhi have an ear fetish? I remember one time Haruhi and I...were expressing our feelings when Haruhi suddenly bit my ear. Now hear me out...I'm not complaining. It's just that...knowing your girlfriend has a bit of an ear fetish and how she bit a girl, who if I may say is very attractive, is just...actually I don't know where I am going with this. I guess it's just weird. Haruhi is weird. Wait, isn't that old news?

As for Nagato...she was sitting at her usual spot all alone. It hadn't surprised me that she was reading a book, science fiction or maybe fantasy, no doubt. I read that one, the book she was reading. It was about a girl who lacked the ability to speak. One day she meets a boy with psychic powers, and he's the only one who can hear her, who can understand her.

Seeing Nagato all alone, in that corner, with the shadows cloaking her existence from the rest of the world hurt me. Well, I don't know...I just felt empty, I felt like a part me of broke off, like a fruit detaching itself from a tree.

Nagato's gaze made me snap back to reality. It's like she was telling me to wake up. Stop dreaming, this isn't where you belong, go back to your own world.

I looked at Haruhi, who had lost track of where she left off and now she didn't know what to say. It was then that Kunikida spoke up for the first time.

"Why don't you tell us how Kyon and you became a couple?"

The kid should have just kept his mouth shut...I swear Kunikida, when you do open your mouth; it's something I don't want to hear.

Haruhi looked completely flustered. She was being swallowed up by the demands of her audience. She kind of looked like a substitute teacher who was teaching a class of troublemakers. I can't believe I'm saying this, but God was being peer pressured.

Wait, she was my girlfriend right? Shouldn't I protect her or something?

"That's enough..." I said, standing up and walking over to Haruhi's side, grabbing her shoulder and giving it a comforting squeeze.

"Kyon...I can handle this myself, sit down" said Haruhi. Still fighting huh? Well I'm your boyfriend, at least let me carry half of your burdens.

"Idiot!"

I bet she found my standing up for her cute. Well at least I think that's what that blush meant.

...

...

...

That Kyon...is acting all high and mighty. He should really know his place! I was doing fine; I bet he only wants to "help" me because of pathetic male ego. I swear all men are just walking bags of testosterone. They are all just hairy balls of sperm.

I can't help but think Kyon isn't like that at all. Maybe he was just concerned about me. He understands me, he always did. He wouldn't have approached me that first week of school if he didn't have a clue as to what I am. As to whom I am.

Kyon was a simple mystery, quite like the Sunday crossword puzzles on the back of the newspaper. Kyon's beauty is subtle, like a whisper, yet more impacting than a tsunami. It can be these kinds of moments that Kyon almost seemed like a knight in shining armour. Or...at least he looked kind of cool. I don't know.

Or maybe I'm overrating him...that's what love is, devaluation of one's self, and overvaluation of the love object...right?

Wait...isn't that one of the symptoms of melancholy?

So anyways...Kyon took the burden of having to share our...story to the brigade and Tsuruya. Notice that I didn't mention those two bumbling fools. Actually, I didn't really mind the quiet one...that is until now, when he opened his big mouth. Now I hate him more than the loud one.

Wait...is that Tanikuchi...or whatever him name is...is he flirting with my Mikuru chan?

Okay, never mind...the loud one is definitely worst.

I was about to pounce the guy, but Kyon started talking. Finally, I swear Kyon is so slow...he can't get any work done...he's just too...

...NORMAL!

Something inside me though...is screaming that he can't be. He's something...I don't know what but...

...Kyon is definitely something.

All eyes were now on Kyon, who normally did everything half assed, but this time, something seemed different. He was serious now.

He's soooo sexy when he's serious...

...please ignore that...

"Okay...um. Well, Haruhi and I don't normally get along...but even though I always denied it, I felt as if there was something...I don't know what but there was something between us"

Kyon...are you an esper?

"When I started writing my book, I guess it was just a means for escape. I wanted a world where Haruhi was the most important girl in the world, and where the supernatural and strange occurred on a daily basis. Of course...it is just a story...right Haruhi?"

Kyon looked at me anxiously, that's strange...

"Uh...yeah sure..." I mumbled.

I don't exactly agree with that last part though. I get the feeling, ever since I met Kyon, that there is something more in this life...

Tsuruya roared with laughter. She reminded me of an erupting volcano!

"Bwahahaha! Kyon you are so sappy! "Most important girl in the world", hilarious!"

Kyon smiled, as if he knew something we didn't.

"Well at least to me...if feels like the whole world revolves around her...in fact you could even say that she..."

It was only for a second, but I think...no I'm sure I saw Kyon's eyes meet with Koizumi kun's. Then, by some sort of invisible communication, they agreed on something.

The question is...what?

"...Well, I guess I'm straying from the real story. So one rainy day...I was in the clubroom being bored. I mean seriously...there's nothing to do"

I was oh so tempted to educate this child as to how exciting living the SOS Brigade lifestyle is, and how privileged that he...an oaf can be permitted to live such an amazing life. There are millions of pathetic humans just waiting for the chance of a lifetime such for this, but Kyon treats ever day with the same boring face and the same repetitive face palms. I'm surprised the guy doesn't have his hand permanently stuck on this his face, in fact I should get some super glue, and the next time he does it...

"Haruhi, are you even listening?"

I wake up from my master plan. Note to self: buy glue.

"Eh?" was all I could utter.

"Well, I'm not repeating it again..." said Kyon, blushing the whole time. Oh, so he must have been talking about the..."revisions" I made to his story.

By now, everyone was all ears. I didn't know that our story was really that interesting, well it was interesting enough to be published but... and even Yuki, who had been reading a while ago, stopped and was now eyeing Kyon, like a mother bear would to its cub.

I don't know why, but I get the feeling that these days...Yuki is slowly changing, especially when she's around Kyon. It's like he had lit Yuki on fire, and now slowly and steadily, she will explode in the summer sky. Like a firework.

"Okay..." continued Kyon. "...so the day after that...Haruhi..."

...

...

...

My mind was filled with thoughts of yesterday. Why had Haruhi done that? What led to this catastrophic event?

"Catastrophic? You call something like this catastrophic?"

I turn around and saw Itsuki Koizumi. An esper, and at times, a prick, but a valuable source of information nonetheless.

Hell yeah. Do you know what this means? Closed space...end of the world...Does any of this sound familiar to you?

Itsuki laughed, and I wondered why, oh why was my statement so freaking funny?

"I'm sorry, but I just find your excuse pathetic. Have you been using that this whole time? That's pitiful...and I thought you were smart too..."

What the hell are you talking about?

Itsuki looked me right in the eyes. Unlike Haruhi's, they weren't brimming with emotion, but they didn't look fake, or hidden. Somehow, there was a deep sincerity about them. It was confusing, hard to understand...mysterious. That was Itsuki Koizumi.

"You know Kyon. You can't use the same lie over and over. It'll break soon"

Why can't this guy just get straight to the point?

"Anyways...that's all I can say for now..."

For now? Stop sounding like you're saying goodbye for the last time! And for the last time, get straight the freaking point!

"Kyon, do you know what procrastination is?"

Yeah of course! It's when you put of something till later until it's way too late.

"In layman's terms...yes."

So now I'm a layman?

"Anyways...how long are you going to put it off? She's made her move...now what's yours"

I was stunned. He didn't say it directly, but even an idiot like me could figure out what he was talking about.

"My move...I'll tell her, what she wants to hear, and what I've always wanted to say"

"Well, if that's what you want"

I caught his eyes. They stirred; something happened that would allow him to lower his guard, something powerful...

"Tell me Koizumi...what do you want?"

They were alight now; his eyes were brimming with fire. They reminded me of Haruhi's, but it wasn't reckless energy, it was power.

"Do you really want to know?"

No not really.

Or more like, I knew already what he wanted. Call me selfish, but I want it too.

Tomorrow will be the day, Haruhi Suzumiya, you better be prepared...

...then, at least one of us will be.

...

...

...

"Then, the next day, I got her alone in the clubroom and... I said some really cool things and we lived happily ever after!"

I felt like I was telling a story to some kindergarteners.

Everyone clapped; it seems I did a pretty good job. Asahina san was a little teary, and so was Taniguchi...sheesh man, grow up! Koizumi was clapping politely, who was the opposite of Tsuruya who was bellowing her guts out. Kunikida was more reserved like Koizumi but he couldn't compare to the subtleness of Nagato. She was clapping, but it was like the sound of a dog whistle compared to the thunder storm that the rest of the audience was conjuring.

As for Haruhi...she didn't look at all amused.

"That's not what happened!" she declared, arms crossed, and her lips in the shape of a cute little upside down "V"

I loved that V.

"That's not what happened!" said Haruhi, repeating the same sentence again. The only difference was the second time it was louder. Did she really think that doing so will get everyone's attention?

Everyone one silent, wow...it actually worked.

Haruhi just earned the right of supreme leader of the SOS Brigade. Well, it was originally hers, but in my hearth now she had officially earned it.

Well of course, who was I to give away such a title?

Haruhi stormed over to me, poking me with her index finger.

"Tell them all of it!"

Funny, just a moment ago, you had stage fright didn't you? And now you're expecting me to tell such an embarrassing story?

"Shut up! If you're such a wuss, then I'll tell it!"

Well, even if I argued at this point, Haruhi will never listen will she?

"So this idiot Kyon..."

...

...

...

I can't believe I did that!

It's been a day since I confessed to Kyon via. Sabotaging his story and my hearth hasn't settled down since.

No, I made up my mind; I'm going to do this.

I made my move, and now he has to make his.

I swear, when I saw the boring, completely ordinary, sarcastic fool enter the room. I literally died. It's like everything in my body froze, my major organs, and that includes my heart.

My mind was filled with such thoughts: what's he going to say? Is he going to confess to me here? Is he even going to confess? What if he rejects me?

I can't deny that such thoughts entered my head, and to be honest it shocked me. I didn't know I would be this troubled just by this one guy, this one stupid, unreliable guy. I guess love really was a disease...but in a good way...I guess.

Wait, how can it be a good way? Gah! See? I'm going crazy here!

He sat down, and for once I wanted to greet him good morning. It seemed like the right thing to do. If I really liked him, then he would expect things to change, for me to be treat him differently. It seemed natural right? It's what other people would do right?

When did I ever care about what other people did? Wasn't everyone else boring? This is insane!

"Good Morning!" I hollered. Oh crap, now it sounded like I was angry at him or something.

"Ugh sorry...I didn't mean too..."

I looked at him carefully; it looked like he saw a ghost.

"Um...Kyon, Is something wrong with you?"

"You greeted me good morning. You apologized, and now you're concerned"

And with that Kyon left.

Huh? Why did he leave?

I was stunned, was this his way of rejecting me? This wasn't fair! This is complete...

He came back, gasping for air, and made his way back to his seat.

"Where were you?"

"In the clubroom"

"Why?"

"I was talking to Nagato?"

Can we somehow hurry this up? "Why?"

"I wanted to make sure I was in the right dimension. Don't you hate it when that happens?"

What is he...is this a joke? All this time, he has denied the existence of the paranormal, and now he comes back with a load of crap. Does he really expect me to believe this?

Even though I said that...there was something in his eyes. It just occurred to me, that Kyon's eyes seemed infinite. It felt like he knew something, a secret. It felt like he was light years away from me, I had never noticed it now but...

...Kyon was strange. He was too normal. It's not possible, how can someone be so stupid?

Not the greatest discovery, I know, but that's what I felt Kyon was. Anymore, and he would be too perfect. That's too boring. I want someone imperfect, someone like me.

"So Kyon...are you saying that you've been to other dimensions?"

He smiled at me. I love that smile.

Stop it...girl...stop it...

"What do you think Haruhi?"

"Huh?"

"Am I really someone who could do such a thing?"

I thought about it.

"Yeah...maybe"

"Why is that? Please enlighten me"

"You can do anything Kyon"

"Huh?"

"When your with me...I feel like I can do anything...isn't it the same for you?"

He smiled at me again. This time I don't care about what my other self thinks, screw you ego! I freaking love his smile! I love everything about him. His gorgeous eyes, the way the sun reflects on his hair. And his smell...oh god.

"Haruhi? Are you okay? Your face is all red"

"Can I smell you?"

Kyon almost fell of his chair. Cute.

"Huh?"

Without giving him another chance to talk, I grabbed his tie...no this time I should grab his hand.

I felt him tense up from the contact, but slowly relaxed when I gave it a comforting squeeze.

"Let's go somewhere else Kyon, and we can talk about the last chapter of your book"

The look on his face was priceless, and even more so when he reluctantly agreed.

"...and maybe while we're at it...I can smell you too?"

"What's up with that anyways?"

"It's an order from your chief!"

What happened after that was...

...

...

...

The clubroom was a mess. Taniguchi, Tsuruya san, and the others had all left, even the brigade members. Well, they wanted to help clean, but something tells me that Haruhi called in a few favours. Suddenly, Koizumi had a part time job, Asahina san had to study for an important test, and Nagato...just left without a word.

So that leaves me with Haruhi...all alone...in an empty room.

Tsuruya san's words floated in my head. This time though, I let the fantasy drag on...

"Kyon! Are you fantasizing about Mikuru chan again?"

Esper, she's an esper...

Don't worry, I was fantasizing about you. You would look pretty good in maid cosplay you know?

What I got was a jab in the ribs. Ow...that really hurt.

"Idiot!" cried Haruhi, who had dropped the garbage she was picking up. Great, guess who's going to clean that up?

Me.

Before you could say, "classified information" I was on my knees, cleaning up Haruhi's garbage.

This is just male tolerance okay? This means nothing!

"Idiot!" said Haruhi, who was in obvious need of new insults.

It was quiet for a while. The only sound that filled the room was the vacuum cleaner Haruhi "borrowed" from a club down the hall, and my occasional sighs.

Haruhi broke the silence.

"Kyon, I love you"

Oh my god! No, I've heard her say that before, so I was pretty used to it.

I drop my broom, and walked in front of her, gazing into her wonderful eyes. I pull her closer, and gave Haruhi a soft peck on the cheeks.

"I love you too"

Well, okay...so I wasn't as used to saying it as I am to hearing it.

Those three words, which have been used so many countless times, sounded so special, more valuable when Haruhi and I say it. Probably because we were the wackiest couple in the entire universe, or probably because, our love was unique, more unique than an ice cube that could withstand a day in the Sahara desert.

"Oh by the way Kyon?"

"Yeah?"

"When are you working on your sequel?"

Ah, the dreaded question. Even my editor hasn't mentioned it yet, and still, Haruhi Suzumiya is one step above everyone else.

"I don't know Haruhi, writing is a pain. I don't want to do it anymore. Who knows if the series is even going to be popular?"

Haruhi winked at me, and I swear I almost melted.

"I don't know, somehow...I think things will work out. After all, if everyone reads this then everyone will want to join the SOS Brigade! We will be phenomenal!"

Like that will ever happen, listen Haruhi. I spent three hours making that story, and it's obviously half assed. The narrating is unreliable, it feels like the plot is going nowhere, and I don't even know where the story will go on from here!

Haruhi smiled coyly. "Oh? Then what about I give you some inspiration?"

I stare at her, this can't be good...

"The next novel is called..."The adventures of Mikuru Asahina!" It's about a battle waitress who fights this evil alien. The alien can be Yuki chan!"

Haruhi...you do know that will never happen?

In the end though, Haruhi still made a movie about it. It's one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, even just being a camera man, if felt like I committed a horrendous crime against the filming industry. Although...I didn't mind the maid outfit...and the witch costume...

Oh! Speaking of Nagato...

While Haruhi was busy yapping about her new so called, "Oscar winning production", I looked for the book Nagato had given me.

As I flipped through the pages, a bookmark slipped out.

In black ink, it said:

I would like to give my congratulations to my club mate, and classmate...Kyon...

He was the first person to notice me, and for that I am extremely grateful. In the beginning, I had thought of Kyon as nothing more but an abnormality, a discrepancy around Suzumiya Haruhi, but as time passed he is become more. Much more. How much more I cannot say, for it may ruin everything, including the path Kyon has built...with Suzumiya Haruhi.

Furthermore, I wish Kyon all the best, in life, in his novel, and his relationship with Suzumiya Haruhi.

-Yuki N.

It was Nagato's speech. Why hasn't she said it to the rest of the brigade? I couldn't imagine Nagato being nervous speaking in front of a crowd. No...Nagato was changing. I don't know how, but everyday she's getting more human. This was human, fear, self consciousness...

Maybe even...jealousy.

Well, just as an example you know?

"Kyon? What's that?"

"Nothing. It's boring"

Haruhi eyed me suspiciously, but let's it go.

"So, do you have any ideas for your novel?"

"Maybe...hey, do you know the story of Snow White Haruhi?"

The smile that followed sent chills up my spine.

"Oh...I know where this is going"

And I did too.

Hey, did you know God's lips taste like strawberries?

The End

And this is it, the sequel. Finally! After two months! Sorry for the wait!

Don't worry, I promise that there will be more. This was originally supposed to be a one shot, but I am very inspired, and it seems like so many people want more. In fact they DEMAND it!

Please review, it makes my day and please look forward for more goodness!

Cheers!
