The second we were barely out of ear shot Kyon began to speak.

"Please, Haruhi, end this foolishness and I'll tell you everything! I've already decided that you deserve to know, so please let me be myself and I'll tell you!"

I was taken aback by the desperation in his voice. I hesitantly replied, "And why not tell me now? Besides what do you expect me to do about this, there is nothing I know that I could do?"

"I can't tell you... it's part of the secret, and I will not tell you until we return to normal."

"What if that never happens? What if we are forced to be each other forever?" I couldn't help but wonder.

He deflected with his usual sarcasm, "Then my test grades will be higher," before he told the truth with soft eyes, "That won't happen, I believe in you, Haruhi."

"I hope the faith you have in me is right in being there," and with that I reentered the clubroom.

The rest of the meeting nothing eventful happened. I just sat there is his seat wondering.

Why did he have so much faith in me?

What does he expect me to do?

What is he hiding?

...

...

I intend to find out.
