Here is a much longer update! I'm sorry the last one was so short but I wanted to get a short one out of the way so I could finally concentrate on this chapter. Thank you to Silver_Ame_Tsukino & Piacine_Jadeymay for reviewing! I've never had to do this before but to one reviewer who wrote they expected more of me next time I'd like to remind you that I'm not personally writing this for you. I am writing this for my own enjoyment and the other readers who take the time to write constructive criticism that I gladly welcome. Putting in a review that you expect more from me next time doesn't help my writing it just makes me annoyed.

Again I own nothing except the ideas that have formed into the chapters.

And now onto the chapter!

The sound of the ticking clock didn't faze either of them. It wasn't until Haruhi felt the need to stand up and stretch did she realize that three hours had gone by. She glanced over at Kyouya only to find him still immersed in his calculations and smiling. 'Only he would find calculations as fun as opening gifts on Christmas morning.' She shook her head and began to sit back down to finish her trigonometry homework that was due tomorrow. She had held off as long as she could to do this part of her homework because she found trigonometry to be dreadful. The complex problem before her agitated her to no end because she had worked it three different ways and still could not determine the cosecant.

"Haruhi are you hungry yet?"

She jumped slightly and looked up at Kyouya who was looking at her expectantly. She gave a slight nod and started to go back to work on her problem but he interrupted her thoughts.

"Haruhi, I'm not a mind reader. What do you want for dinner?"

"Do you have any miso soup?"

"I believe so."

"Thank you Kyouya."

As soon as he left she looked down the work she had done so far. Sighing she closed it and placed it back into her bag. She walked into the bathroom, washed her hands and headed towards the door to follow Kyouya but she found him walking back in with the soup.

"I thought we could eat here instead of in the large dining room."

"Damn rich bastard," she whispered.

"I heard that Haruhi."

"I don't care. Which side of the table do you want to sit on?"

"It doesn't matter to me."

As soon as they determined who was sitting where they ate in silence for a few moments before Haruhi spoke.

"Kyouya, can I have one more hint?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Pl-"

"No. However I can help you with that trigonometry problem you've been attempting to solve for the last half hour."

"How did you know?"

"I wasn't that immersed in the spreadsheets. I finished all of the club business an hour ago."

"Thank you. Would it be possible to help me after dinner?"

"Yes. How is your soup?"

"Delicious. H-"

The sound of Kyouya's cell ringing interrupted her question. He glanced at his phone, hit the ignore button and looked at Haruhi indicating to her to ask her question. Before she could the phone rang again and Kyouya rejected the call again. Haruhi shook her head, counted three, two, one and on cue the phone rang. By this point he was beyond annoyed and finally accepted the call.

"Can I help you?"

"KYOUYA! I CAN'T FIND HARUHI!"

"Tamaki did you ever think she might be with me?"

"But why would…oh wait. I'm sorry Kyouya really I am. Goodbye."

He clicked his phone shut and muttered,

"That idiot."

"I had a feeling it was him. He still hasn't adjusted has he?"

"No but we should just be happy that he has accepted this unlike Hikaru."

"That is true. I see you are finished do you want me to take your bowl back downstairs?"

"No we can just leave them on the table by the door and they will eventually be taken."

She took both of their bowls to the table and by the time she had returned he had her math book open to the assigned page studying the problem. She quietly sat down and studied him for a moment.

"Haruhi may I ask why you are staring at me?"

"I couldn't help how tired you looked again."

"You'll get used to seeing me this way. Where do you keep your pencils?"

"Here you go. You figured it out very quickly. I wonder what I was doing wrong."

"I'll show you if you don't mind ripping a piece of paper out of your notebook."

She complied and he swiftly proceeded to show her the steps. When he finished he left her sitting at the table and went back to his laptop. Twenty minutes later Haruhi completed the last problem, quietly put her book away and stealthily moved in Kyouya's direction. When she got closer she realized that he was looking at her from the corner of his eye and quickly attempted to retreat.

"Haruhi what are you up to?"

"Nothing I was just checking to make sure you weren't asleep"

"I don't believe you. Try answering again. "

"Okay you looked very tense sitting there and I wanted to help you become more relaxed."

"That sounds like a more plausible answer. You didn't have to sneak up on me."

"Kyouya I know you well enough that you hate being startled especially when you are busy calculating anything."

"This one time I will make an exception."

"You weren't doing any calculations were you?"

"No right now I reading a few business articles for fun."

"Reading business articles is fun? You have got to be kidding me."

"No you really should read a few before deciding that it is a waste of time."

"I didn't say it was a waste of time I just meant it would hold no interest to me."

"Ah well then let me ask you a question."

"Yes?"

"Are you done with your homework?"

"Yes why?"

He didn't reply but instead stood up and walked over to the couch. She followed him and sat down next to him. He reached behind him and grabbed the remote for the iPod deck and hit the play button. From the speakers the sound of a Joe Hisaishi piece filled the room.

"Kyouya do you know what movie this song was in?"

"Yes it was in the movie Tonari no Totoro."

"What is the title of it? I loved this particular piece in the film."

"It's The Huge Tree in the Tsukamori Forest. "

"I find it quite soothing."

She felt him put his arm around her and she snuggled herself closer to him. She glanced up at him and realized that he had taken his glasses off. He was rubbing his temples looking quite tired and stressed. He was in mid-motion to rub the back of his neck when he felt a pair of slender hands begin rubbing his neck for him. His eyes opened but all he could see was a blurry version of Haruhi who was currently giving him the best neck massage he'd ever had. He allowed himself to relax into her hands. As he began to drift off the massage stopped and he felt her resume her previous position. He reached for his glasses but she stopped him.

"Haruhi I can't see anything."

"While I am aware of that I don't see you without your glasses very often."

"Yes I realize that but that doesn't answer my question to why you won't let me put them back on."

"I want to admire your eyes."

He blinked a couple of times before leaning down to be on level with her. He stared right at her even though he was getting a slight headache from his blurred vision. She pulled him a little closer to continue the inspection of his eyes. Before she knew it he had moved forward to place a kiss on her temple. She reached past him, took his glasses and placed them back to their respectable place. Just as he started to say something the sound of Haruhi's cell phone pinging stopped him. She rolled her eyes before getting up to get her phone. She read the message and with a shake of her head put it back in her bag.

"What was the eye roll for," Kyouya asked as she returned by his side.

"It was the twins asking if they could come over."

"Did you tell them you were here?"

"No because if I did then they would be at your front door."

"They do take after Tamaki and some days are even worse than him."

"Kyouya do you really want to go on this trip Tamaki has planned?"

"Not really but Tamaki is excited for it."

"I suppose but will we be hosting while we are there?"

"No it's just the club members going. Why do you ask?"

"Well what would you think if I suggested that we skip this trip and we do what you originally had planned?"

The look of disbelief on his face caused Haruhi to shake her head and mumble,

"Forget it I…it was a stupid idea."

"No, it wasn't. I never expected you to suggest that but it's got me thinking."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, the only problem I can see is telling Tamaki."

"Well that and when will we tell him considering we leave tomorrow."

"I'll call him."

"Right now?"

"Right now."

The next chapter may not be up right away due to the fact that my childhood is ending in just six days. Yes I'm a Harry Potter fan & so I will be busy re-watching all 7 movies and re-reading the second half of book seven.
