Sunlight was attempting to stream past the deep navy curtains barely illuminating the bed and the sleeping figures. The storms had passed and it was now nearing 8:30 A.M. One of the figures in the bed stirred slightly. As they began to awake more and stretch they realized their movements were slightly hampered by an arm wrapped around them. 'Why is Kyouya's arm wrapped around me,' Haruhi thought. She tried moving slightly more towards the other side of the bed, but Kyouya tightened his grip and pulled closer. She blushed slightly at this, but decided not move any further. She gradually became adjusted to Kyouya holding her and drifted asleep again. When she awoke later she realized that they were still in the same position as before. She glanced upwards to see that Kyouya was still sleeping soundly. She took this opportunity to study Kyouya a little closer. From up close she could that his eyelashes were longer than she thought. 'He looks different without his glasses but still attractive,' she thought. Her gaze traveled on down and stopped at his lips. 'I wonder if he's kissed anyone befo…wait why am I even thinking that,' she thought. The movement of his arm leaving her waist startled her. The coldness quickly settled in where his arm was. That feeling felt odd and she moved herself closer back to him only have nothing happen. She sighed then started to get Kyouya's arm back around her. She didn't know why she was doing this but a small part of her needed his arm around her.

"Why do I need his arm around me so much," she whispered.

She turned over slightly still trying to pull his arm back around her. Finally she succeeded in getting his arm back around her. Just as she was beginning to drift off again a voice awoke her.

"Haruhi is there a reason why you are in my bed?"

She stiffened immediately when she heard that voice. She looked up and saw that Kyouya was looking at her with amusement in his eyes. She tried to move quickly to the other side of the bed but his arm was preventing this from happening. She took a quick breath before attempting to give the shadow king her answer.

"Well during the storm I attempted to go hide into your closet and as you can see I didn't quite make it," she said with a slight blush tinting her cheeks.

He nodded his head and then began to feign sleep again. He was curious as to what her reaction would be. Haruhi's expression was one of confusion. She was expecting more questioning from him and was starting to form answers in her head but when he fell asleep again she figured that he wasn't quite awake yet. After a few moments of 'sleep' he opened his eyes again only to find her eyes wide open on him.

"Good morning again, Kyouya-senpai," she whispered.

"Good morning Haruhi. Did you sleep well," he asked.

"Well...yes," she replied a little surprised at the simplicity of the questions.

"Haruhi, do you know if your mood is any different from yesterday," he asked.

Her eyes widened slightly at that question and all she could do was shrug her shoulders.

"I'm not sure. My day hasn't fully started and I didn't realize my mood until almost Club time yesterday," she said.

He nodded his head and started to say something else when she interrupted.

"I know you weren't asleep a few moments ago."

Her eyes were shining with a little bit of mischievousness. This was a side of her that he had never seen before and to be honest it intrigued him. He felt the corners of his mouth beginning to curve into a smile and before he could stop himself he found himself giving her a quick kiss on her temple. Why he did this he had no idea but he felt that it was appropriate for that moment. But then realization kicked in of what he had just and done and he glanced downwards to see Haruhi's shocked expression. He shut his eyes and before he could say anything was yet again interrupted by her.

"Kyouya-senpai, maybe I was wrong and you are still asleep because I doubt that you would do that if you were awake and aware of everything. Besides there was no merit in it at all was there senpai?"

He looked at her and started to answer but realized that he didn't have an answer for her. His brow furrowed briefly while he tried to quickly formulate a reply but was at a loss of words. 'Why can't I answer her? It's a simple question and the situation is similar to the one at the beach house, but for some reason this time I can't answer her. Damn it Haruhi what are you doing to me?' He realized that Haruhi was still awaiting an answer and so he tried to quickly form a reply.

"Ah yes Haruhi, I think I was still asleep. What time is it?"

Caught off guard by his reply it took her moment to turn and look at the alarm.

"It's nearing 9:00," she said softly.

He started to move to get out of bed when he realized that during that time of talking Haruhi had somehow wrapped his arm around. Mentally he smiled at that but pushed that thought away for the moment. He removed his arm from around her waist and headed out of the room. As soon as he left Haruhi laid there and thought of how awkward Kyouya had looked when she had mentioned there had been no merits behind the kiss.

"There was something that flickered in Kyouya's eyes after he had kissed me, but what was it," she whispered.

She heard the shower start from down the hall and then the door shut. She rolled over to the other side and began to doze off but that ghost of a kiss still lingered on her temple. 'It was a nice moment and he's really…wait a minute this is Kyouya, someone who is calculating and would only do that if there were merits. But still there was something there in his eyes,' she thought.

Meanwhile……

__________________________________________________________

The jets from the shower head instantly caused Kyouya to begin thinking clearly again. As he stood underneath the steady stream he let his thoughts wander. They immediately wandered to the girl that was currently in his bed. He let out a growl of frustration and dipped his head underneath the water trying to clear his thoughts. Although his thoughts did clear he couldn't help but wonder why he did give her that kiss. 'I can't believe I allowed myself to let that small slip occur,' he thought. A few more minutes in the shower allowed him to clear his head completely. He quickly dressed and walked back into his bedroom. He was surprised to see her still in bed, a part of him wanted to wake her and he started to until he got closer. Then that unidentifiable feeling returned and all he could do was pull the blanket up around her a little more and place another kiss on her temple. He quietly shut the door and went downstairs thinking that Haruhi was back in a deep sleep. Little did he know that she was just lightly dozing and was quite aware of the kiss he had given her. As soon as she heard the door click shut her eyes flew open and her hand touched the spot that he had kissed. A slight smiled appeared and when a small sigh of contentment escaped her came as a surprise to her. She sat up in bed and thought of events that had occurred that morning. She glanced toward the window and could see that it was sunny and was hoping that the weather would improve her mood or maybe her mood was no longer a problem. She shrugged her shoulders and got out of bed. She made her way to the shower and started the water surprised to find that she did not have to adjust the water temperature. At the same time Kyouya was on his way back upstairs with breakfast but the sound of running water caught his attention. He continued on his way to the bedroom only to find that it was empty which confirmed his guess that it was Haruhi in the shower. As soon as he sat their breakfast down it dawned on him that when he had kissed her she was probably slightly awake and knowing her as well perfectly aware of what was going on around her. 'That is just great. Now she's going to think that I'm trying to pull something with her,' he thought. Just as he started to sit down to do a little search of the headlines on his laptop the presence of her coming back into the room stopped him. He glanced up for a moment and realized that she was only in a towel and unaware of his presence. He quickly glanced back down, his cheeks slightly pink, and cleared his throat. The sound startled her and it was then that she realized he was sitting there. She let out a yelp and ran back to the bathroom. Kyouya let out a frustrated sigh weighing his options as to whether to go assure her that he saw nothing or to just stay put and allow her to dress in the bathroom, come back in, and act as if nothing had happened. He opted for the second choice and went back to looking at the morning headlines. 'Great that image is going to be stuck in my mind for a while,' he thought letting out a slight growl. A few minutes later she returned, dressed, slightly embarrassed, and hungry.

"Kyouya-senpai, is this our breakfast," she asked.

He glanced up from his laptop, nodded, and went back to reading. 'There is the Kyouya I know,' she thought. She looked up and realized that he looked much more attractive without the glasses but that the glasses were what made him who he was. She shook her head when she realized that she thought for a moment that he was attractive.

"Problems Haruhi," he asked.

"None Kyouya-senpai, but are you going to eat now or later," she asked.

"I can eat now I suppose," he replied.

He moved to where she was and sat across from her waiting for her to pick which was her plate. When she realized this she picked the one that was closest to her. Breakfast was eaten in silence which gave both of them the chance to contemplate the morning's events.
