Pairing: Hunny/Haruhi

Sometimes when his immeasurable patience gave way, he just couldn't understand it. What made him the lesser character; the one they immediately set aside? What made him the one they didn't consider- the one shedidn't consider? Just why had he been given the short end of the stick?

He was more than who they thought he was, truth be told. He couldn't even comprehend why they'd refer to him as a boy. (He was a man, for heaven's sake, all man!) Sure, he was small but could any of the other guys pull-off the "cuddle-with-me" look so perfectly? Could anyone else appear so… tempting even when there was the "I'm-just-a-little-boy" element to consider?

There was also his near-genius perception. Any other girl would have swooned. He was good-looking and sensitive, two for the price of one- the deal of a lifetime. He would provide desirable company; seemingly unattainable and entirely approachable at the same time. He left no room for dissatisfaction.

And then there was his love for sweets, which could have rivaled any fair maiden's taste buds-- competition! He knew girls went for that kind of thing, and he knew that she in particular would appreciate it even more. He was a challenge; a tower to climb, a puzzle to piece together, a language to decifer, a man to unravel- to realize, to love!

And of course, who could forget Usa-chan? Who in their right mind could possibly resist the sheer innocence that embodied him? Who wouldn't fall prey to his spell? He knew very well he had taken her from day one; had snatched her off her feet and cast that mystifying spell. It was the same spell she had inevitably cast upon him. It was that, plain and simple. He wanted her… very, very much.

Wasn't that another aspect to consider? He wanted her. Wasn't that enough said? Wasn't it enough that he tried, that he yearned, that he hungered for her? Because she was a drug-his drug, so sinfully wrapped to very tip of her silken head that anyone would have craved, would have wanted a taste, then would have wanted to devour. He wanted to devour her, oh yes, he did.

With that alone and even more… she was his, just as much as he was hers.

Good. Great! Perfect? Now that he'd convinced himself, all he had to do was convince her.
