It was nearing 12:30 A.M. when Haruhi awoke suddenly. She glanced around the room trying to figure out what room she was in. It took a few moments before she remembered where she was. She reached for the glass of water on the coffee table, took a sip, and then lay back down. Her eyes had adjusted to the darkness by this time and unfortunately she was awake. She heard the rain falling steadily on the roof and she held her breath hoping she wouldn't hear a rumble of thunder. After holding her breath for almost a minute she let out a low sigh grateful that she hadn't heard any rumbles. The only other sound that she heard aside from the rain was Kyouya's even breathing. She found herself beginning to even her breaths with him. Just as she was beginning to doze off again a loud clap awoke her. She jumped up and began walking towards Kyouya's closet. She only made it halfway when there was a loud crash. She froze too afraid to walk any further. There was an equal distance between the closet and the couch from where she stood, but she couldn't force herself to move. She quickly glanced around the room to see if there was anything nearby that she could hide in or under. Her only options were to 1) run the distance to the closet or couch or 2) sneak her way into Kyouya's bed. Neither option looked very promising.

"I'm going to have to make a decision soon," she whispered.

Before Haruhi could weigh her options any further a loud crack and sizzle helped her to make her decision. Without any hesitation she slid under the covers from the end of the bed. She held her breath and didn't move after she reached the top of the covers. Kyouya had not wakened during the time she was crawling between the covers. She never moved and eventually fell asleep.

Meanwhile….

Before the storm even began Kyouya was already awake. For some reason Haruhi's presence in the room was preventing him from falling asleep. As he started to roll over he heard a slight rumble. 'Damn that storm will be here soon,' he thought. A few moments later a loud clap proved him correct. He stayed still and at that moment he heard her up, walking towards his closet. He heard the crash and he held his breath, curious for a moment, curious as to what she was going to do. It came as a complete surprise when he felt her crawling between the covers. He shut his eyes and feigned sleep when he felt her moving closer to the top. He felt her gaze on him briefly and waited until she rolled over a little before he opened his eyes. 'Just perfect, now I'll never get any sleep,' he thought. Eventually drowsiness began to overtake him but before he could drift completely off he noticed that Haruhi had moved closer towards him. He smiled briefly at the thought of the moment. He noticed a strand of hair had fallen in front of her eye. He brushed it back then froze when he realized what he had done. He smiled slightly then cautiously wrapped an arm around her and paused. He realized that she was moving closer to him. When she stopped moving he rested his head atop of hers and softly asked the night,

"What are you doing to me Haruhi? Why do I care so much about you here lately? Am I becoming attracted to you?"

A loud clap sounded in the night but Haruhi never stirred. He smiled again and found himself holding onto her a little tighter before falling asleep.

Sorry it's been so long since an update! My laptop kept crashing everytime I tried to start working on this and then school began to keep me busy. But consider this just one small part of the slew of updates that are going to be occuring after this. And don't worry I have a new laptop!
