~The Ninth Undeniable Truth of Haruhi Suzumiya~

Or

~All I Wanted: Open Space!~

AN:

Well, folks we are nearing the end of our epic story. XD

I really don't know where my FanFiction career is going anymore. I am so busy lately, and trying to find time to write and post is a hassle. Plus the fact that my new BLEACH story wasn't really thought through. Ugh.

Anyway, that doesn't mean I'm not going to abandon this story in its near-end. Let's see it through!

(P.S: 'All I Wanted' is by Paramore)

The days flew by so fast that I always think that that day Haruhi and I first made out on the beach is yesterday. Every moment we spend together is precious, and every word between us cherished. Haruhi's mother now ignores me when I pick Haruhi up, and my own Dad is proud of me to a creepy point in my accomplishment of finally truly dating Haruhi.

Haruhi and I have kind-of… leveled up throughout the weeks. From the strange making-out session, to basic hugging. Then holding hands to long embraces. Then cheek kisses. Then nose kisses. Then kisses. Then couch kisses.

Love makes people do many strange things AND feel very strange things.

For example, it drives people crazy at night, making them thinking endlessly about the one they love. Love makes people broke. Love makes people forgetful. Love makes people forget summer homework.

Now that I think about it, Love Changes Everything.

Nothing can truly stay the same.

I've noticed recently that whenever I'm with Haruhi, the multi-colored cloud phenomenon that warns me of pre-open spaces has appeared more and more frequently. I now see polka-dotted clouds, gold, silver, and bronze clouds, not to mention clouds colored like rainbows.

Open space is probably the most horrifying picture I could ever imagine in my head.

Haruhi would subconsciously destroy everything… just because she drove herself to.

Love makes people do crazy things.

In Haruhi's case, it could drive her to exterminate mankind.

"Kyon…" Haruhi mumbled, shuffling. "Quit hogging the blanket."

It was 3:34 in the morning, and Haruhi had crashed at my house due to the fact her Mom was out of town. We had ended up watching movies till recently, pigging out on popcorn and arguing over the best movie we had watched. Time passed really fast.

I was trying to get to sleep, but Haruhi, who had stubbornly lain with me, was pulling the fluffy purple blanket.

"We've done all the fighting we can on this freaking love seat," I said, laughing softly. "Just accept the fact I'm warm and you are slightly less warm."

Haruhi cuddled in closer to me, her face radiating heat around my neck area. We lay on our sides, facing each other.

I kissed her forehead and fixed her hair.

"Now let's go to sleep, okay?"

Haruhi pouted, but she kissed my collarbone (It was close to her lips) and nodded.

"But… before I sleep…" She paused. "Can we talk? Just a little bit, at least?"

I nodded. "Of course."

Haruhi paused and thought. "Well… um… Kyon…" She said, almost anxiously. "What… what do you think Mikuru-chan, Nagato and Koizumi are going to think about us dating?"

"I think they'll be fine with it," I said, sure of it.

Haruhi pressed her palm against my chest, protected by only a thin white t-shirt.

"Lately, life's been like a dream for me," Haruhi whispered. "I'm happy, it's summer, and… I have you."

I stroked her hair. "Trust me. The feeling is mutual."

I wrapped my arms around her, pulled her even closer, and took a deep breath of her watermelon scent.

"I love you," I repeated.

"I love you more," She insisted.

The exchange lasted for a few minutes until Haruhi said the most surprising thing.

"What if…" Haruhi said, her breath heating up my chest. "What if we could be like this… forever? Just us? What if…" She paused. "What if you and I lasted for eternity? What if we could love each other and nothing in this world could stop us?"

My heart sank. Oh no.

"Haruhi… I like the world the way it is," I decided. "I love you, despite this world. So why would we need to remove it in order for me to love you? I already do."

Haruhi pulled away a little. I flinched.

"Are you saying a world with just me and you would be incomplete?" She asked.

I shook my head. "I would never think that. But…" I paused. "I love you, just here. We can live on."

Haruhi snorted as if she were still unconvinced. I bit my lip in anxiety.

"Let's just go to bed, okay?" I coaxed, bribing her with a soft kiss.

Haruhi gave in. "Fine… but you and I need to talk more like this." She said, with a sharp seriousness.

I smiled held her close. "Just shut up and sleep already."

She obeyed me.

The next morning, when I woke up, Haruhi wasn't with me.

I blinked in confusion, wondering where she could've gone. It was already 12:23 in the afternoon, actually, and I could smell my Dad cooking in the kitchen.

I got up and stumbled into the kitchen.

To my surprise, my little sister and Haruhi were sitting at the table, laughing and smiling as they talked.

"Oh, morning sleepyhead!" My sister greeted.

"Imouto…" I mumbled, almost embarrassed.

"I've decided I want to call your sister To-chan, because you always refer to her as imouto." Haruhi said quickly.

The newly christened To-Chan smiled at me and nodded.

Dad was cooking stir fry at the stove, which smelled amazing.

"Hey," I greeted, standing next to him and yawning.

Dad turned and I actually saw his face.

He was crying.

"Huh…?" I mumbled, confused.

"How was your first night with a girl?" Dad asked bluntly. "Enjoyable or what?"

I turned red on every square inch of my body. "N-NO! It wasn't like that!"

Dad blinked. "It wasn't?"

"We basically, literally… just slept together." I said defensively. "…and I'm satisfied."

Dad blanked out, forgetting to stir the stir fry.

I rolled my eyes.

That afternoon, Haruhi dragged me to her house.

"I want you to actually see the insides of it," Haruhi insisted.

I said nothing. Haruhi didn't know about the whole I-fought-my-alternate-reality-self-in-your-house-recently situation. I decided to play along with her.

I walked into her house, and it looked exactly the same.

The same fancy flourishes, carpeted staircase, and jade vase in the corner of the living room.

I noticed some new things too.

"A… piano?" I said, surprised. "You play piano?"

Haruhi looked at me and smiled. "And violin. Very upper-class, no?"

She took my hand and dragged me to the basement, where she pointed out boxes full of her mom's makeup and Haruhi's old toys.

I giggled when I saw her baby pictures.

Everything was so perfect.

When Haruhi finally brought me up to her bedroom, I realized how breathtaking the situation was.

I was boyfriend.

She was girlfriend.

She and me in bedroom.

No parents.

I turned beet red as Haruhi had me explore every nook and cranny of her polka-dotted wallpaper room. I even stepped on a bra she had accidentally left on the floor.

My heart would not stop racing.

"So, that's my house." Haruhi said, laying back into her bed with me.

I nodded, my eyes fixated upon the numerous glo-in-the-dark stars and planets Haruhi had pasted to her ceiling.

"I want you to know more about me," Haruhi said. "And…" She said, leaning into me. "I want to know you best, out of anyone in this world."

The hilarious thought of Nagato probably knowing everything about me flashed in my head, but I smiled at Haruhi nonetheless.

I gave her a little kiss.

She kissed me.

I guess that's how it started.

Our kisses progressed. Our bodies were meshed together. Our limbs intertwined.

Suddenly, something like fire rushed in me. I wanted to… well…

…do her.

I felt so ready. I'm not joking.

Suddenly, Haruhi said the scariest thing I had ever heard into my ear.

"Kyon, all I want is you."

My heart almost stopped beating.

I hadn't bothered to look out the window.

I did then.

The clouds were every color imaginable.

Suddenly, something like a bubble surrounded Haruhi's body, trapping me along with it. It was bright and yellow.

Haruhi didn't say anything. The world around us started to shake.

Her grip around my body tightened, and I felt cold and horrified. It was happening.

If Haruhi was mad, she could destroy the world.

If she was in love… she could destroy everything as we know it.

I saw white. And then I saw nothing.

"Kyon!"

My eyes half-opened wearily as I looked up. My head was laid upon a hard surface.

Concrete.

I saw Haruhi staring back at me, her golden eyes beautiful and shining. It was all I could see.

She was excited. Yet scared.

"You need to see this."

I sat up, confused.

What I saw was this.

I was lying on Haruhi's bedroom floor, looking at the ceiling. When I sat up and looked out the window, I saw nothing. Absolutely, positively, nothing. White was all.

I rushed to open Haruhi's bedroom door, and it was the same.

White.

"Holy…" I muttered in disbelief.

"Kyon, what's going on?" Haruhi asked me.

"…I have no idea." I whispered.

There was nothing. I could see miles and miles of white, stretching like endless plains.

There was no sound except for the sound of Haruhi and I talking. The slightest movement we made that shuffled our clothes was loud.

Haruhi held me from behind.

"Kyon…" She whispered. "I… I think we are the only people left."

The truth bit me hard.

I turned around in a mixed feeling of sorrow and acceptance.

"At least…" I whispered. "I'm stuck with you, and not anybody else."

Haruhi smiled and kissed my nose. I tried to smile, but I felt like my heart stopped inside.

I loved Haruhi. I loved her so much.

…but that didn't I didn't love my family and other friends too.

What is Haruhi to you, Kyon?

Nagato's question sat heavy in my mind.

Haruhi pushed me up against her bed, her legs wrapped around my torso. I immediately snapped back into reality. Hot and beautiful reality.

I was kind of scared about how bold she was. Pop, pop, pop went my shirt buttons.

"Haruhi…" I whispered. "Listen."

Haruhi said nothing; she leaned in and pushed herself against me, giving me an intense kiss. My eyes felt like they would pop out of their sockets. She ran her hand softly against my chest and stomach.

"Haruhi…" I tried to say.

But the words couldn't come out.

Haruhi got me on the bed.

God, I'm so pathetic. She was initiating everything.

I had no shirt on. Haruhi was still fully clothed.

It was kind of getting awkward. But it was still sexy.

"Kyon," She whispered. "Isn't this perfect? Just you and I, forever?"

I looked at her. "What about food, and water, and-"

"I just looked in my closet. It's a giant Wal-Mart sort of place in there," Haruhi said, stopping kissing me and thinking about the strangeness of her statement.

Damn. Only Haruhi would think about putting a Wal-Mart in her closet.

"Just you and I, Kyon…" Haruhi continued, kissing me again.

Her hands ran across me. I was blushing so badly.

"Haruhi," I finally said. "I love you… but…"

Haruhi blinked and stopped kissing me.

I love you and but should never be in the same sentence.

Haruhi's eyes widened and she backed away from me, her eyes filling with tears.

I felt the ground shake.

"Kami-sama," I mumbled.

I looked out the window.

"SHIT!"

Time giants. Everywhere. Holy crap, she was creating a closed space in her completed open space.

"…but I don't need to be with you for an eternity to be forced to love you the way I do." I continued hastily. "I'll love you even when we have problems on Earth, even when we can't spend 24/7 together."

Haruhi looked at me, still shocked.

"Nothing can change my love for you, Haruhi."

I stood up from the bed and stumbled over to her, wrapping my arms around her trembling body.

GEEZ. Having a girlfriend that can destroy the world if I broke up with her or if I made out with her too much is pretty hard to handle.

Haruhi hugged me back.

I saw white, and then nothing.

I woke up on a soft surface, feeling warm.

I sat up quickly.

"What the hell…?" Someone muttered.

I looked to my side. It was Haruhi, who was pushed off a couch we both happened to be lying on.

OMG. My couch!

"Sorry!" I said quickly, helping her back onto the couch gently.

Haruhi was wearing her orange t-shirt that she wore when we slept together on the coach recently.

….a time paradox?

I looked her in the eye and she stared at me back.

"…that 'you and me forever together only' thing never happened, right?" Haruhi said bluntly.

I nodded. "Although…" I said, smiling and pulling her in.

"…that doesn't mean we can't be together tonight, right?"

Haruhi smiled and kissed me.

The Ninth Undeniable Truth of Haruhi Suzumiya:

She loves me too.
