Chimerical
By Faronon Star Wolf
#11 – Transcendence
"I feel like I've been looking for you forever."
#12 – Sacred
However good Mikuru had looked dressed as a miko, the first thought that Kyon had was that Haruhi looked twice as good.
#13 – Profane
He personally thought that Kyon's attitude, while sometimes resulting in closed space, was something that Haruhi needed—but since the Agency's position was that Haruhi's moods should be catered to, he left going against her wishes to the one she had chosen.
#14 – Dual
They made a pretty picture together—Haruhi leaning too far out of the window, and Kyon behind her, one arm around her waist, anchoring her.
#15 – Single
She set the stone down and captured another of Kyon's groups, and he had to wonder how on earth she could be this good at go when her strategy had always been to rush straight in…
#16 – Fairytale
Once upon a time, there as a boy who was never given a nickname, a girl who was never a club leader, a girl who never traveled time, an alien who never lived, and a boy who never destroyed closed space—and they didn't live happily ever after.
#17 – Counterpart
Without him, she would have chosen riskier and riskier activities, and without her, he would have never actually lived.
#18 – Mind
Perhaps some part of her knew of her powers—because no matter how much she wanted Kyon to notice her, she wanted it to be his choice.
#19 – Matter
He slammed the drawer shut, his face flushing—he'd gotten the box Haruhi had asked for, but he had a feeling that he wouldn't be forgetting what had been under it very easily (she didn't really use those, did she?)
#20 – Manner
When she had asked, sleepily, what it was that made him notice her, he laughed and said quietly, "Every single thing."
