It's been a while since I've written any fanfiction, for which I apologize. But I've been doing lots of pixeling and RPing lately, along with being incredibly busy with choir. Spring break is in a couple of weeks, though, and don't doubt I'll write more then. Also, on a side note, is anyone going to Sakura-con? I'll be there all three days!

Itsuki and Kyon had gone to bed in the evening, and slept amazingly for a couple of hours until they both awoke together around nine-thirty at night. It was dark and the room felt a little stuffy, but Itsuki felt like he was on top of the world when he felt Kyon's arms around him. His eyes slowly rolled open and he squinted toward the digital clock on his nightstand, the red letters advertising the time of 9:34PM.

He moved his focus of vision in front of him, where he could see very faintly in the dark the outline of Kyon's facial features. His eyes were open and the moonlight coming in through the window created lovely reflections of light in the rich brown pigment.

"It's still night," Itsuki whispered softly, in order not to break the wonderful quietness of the night. "Just a couple hours passed."

Kyon nodded lightly and licked his lips in the darkness, took a breath to speak, and right as he opened his mouth, they both heard an odd-sounding noise come from the nightstand.

Itsuki jumped a little, and Kyon's mouth fell shut. He turned a little in Itsuki's arms and grabbed his cell phone off the nightstand. It was vibrating, rather loudly, throwing quite a fit for attention.

Kyon rubbed his eyes and gently wiggled free from Itsuki's arms to sit up against the headboard. The lighter-haired male sat up with him, scratching his head a little bit and stretching.

"What is it?" he asked.

"A text..." Kyon responded, followed by a tired yawn, and he pressed a button to look at the screen. "From Haruhi." Itsuki felt his heart beat. What did she want?

Kyon read the text carefully, and a surprised look came onto his tired face. He read it again, and his face gained a slight degree of horror. He blinked twice and rubbed his eyes a little before reading over the message again, but his expression didn't change.

"What the hell?" he exclaimed, his voice confused and quiet.

Itsuki became worried. "What is it?" he asked softly as he moved his head a little and rolled his eyes over to look at the message for himself. When Kyon was quiet, he decided to read it for himself.

"I'm in love with you." That was all the message read, and Itsuki could feel his jaw drop.

"Yeah, what the hell!" he echoed, turning his head to look at Kyon sternly. "What is this?"

Kyon just shook his head. "I don't know," he said, breathing slowly. "Haruhi's in love with me?" His face looked horribly confused. "Maybe she sent this to the wrong person..."

Itsuki could feel the worry start to infect his heart. He folded his arms across his chest as Kyon opened up a reply message and typed in,"What?"

It wasn't long before another text came in, and Itsuki waited in anticipation to see what Haruhi had said. "I said I'm in love with you, Kyon." The text made Kyon grumble.

"What are you going to do...?" Itsuki asked helplessly, giving Kyon a desperate look. Kyon had just told Itsuki that he loved him a few hours prior, and now this... Itsuki knew what this meant.

The world's well-being depended on Haruhi. If she was happy, the world was normal. If Haruhi was angry or sad, bad things happened. Itsuki knew this better than anybody; it was his responsibility as an ESPer to keep Haruhi's mind under control so the world would be preserved. Something told Itsuki that Haruhi wouldn't take being rejected very well.

Kyon threw his phone at the wall across the room, and the back of the device flew off and the battery fell out. He grumbled again and pulled his knees up to his chest. He dug his head into his arms in frustration.

"Kyon-kun..." Itsuki sighed, feeling his own heart ache with this new dilemma. He wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's torso and laid his head next to Kyon's on his arms. He spoke this next part softly, feeling his eyes cloud with tears. "What are we going to do?"

Tori: Well, this is getting intense.

Itsuki: Why was this chapter so short?

Tori: Because there wasn't much to write. Simple. Next chapter will be longer, though.

Kyon: Good god, what am I going to do?

Itsuki: Are we going to have to break up? T_T

Tori: Sorry, boys, I can't tell you that. These plot papers are for my eyes only. Well, readers, until next time! (Which, I promise, will be soon!) Thanks, I love you guys~ (REVIEW!!!)
