Hi guys. Lol, I wrote most of this whole chapter in 2nd, 5th, and 6th period. I feel like when I write fanfiction in my notebook at school, I don't capture Itsuki's feelings as well, just actions. What do you guys think? How does this chapter compare with the others?

With Kyon dating Haruhi, it was only natural that they would go out on a date or two. Itsuki was aware of a couple dates the two had been on, but they were short; to a theater or a coffee shop. Nothing fancy. It was a particular date, however, about two weeks after Kyon and Itsuki had first had sex, that stood out in Itsuki's mind.

Kyon had failed to inform the ESPer of this date; the two were out shopping casually. Coincidentally, Itsuki was headed the the grocery store that day, and the two parties ran into each other as one would expect.

Itsuki has just arrived in town when he saw Kyon and Haruhi, joined by the hands, strolling in front of a pet store.

He approached the couple slowly, his mind only nipping with a bit of jealousy. After that one afternoon, Itsuki has almost completely gotten over his own insecurities; after their intimate actions that day, there were no worries remaining in his mind that Haruhi could get in the way.

Kyon saw Itsuki first. "Koizumi!" he exclaimed lightly. Apparently he'd been taken by surprise, and Itsuki laughed.

Haruhi was next. "Koizumi-kun," she greeted with a smile, "how's it going?"

Itsuki gave the brunette a polite smile, though loatheful on the inside. "It's going great," he said, perfectly truthful. "What brings you two out here?"

Haruhi opened her mouth, ready to explain, but Kyon spoke instead. "We're just out," he said with a smile which meant much more than one could see with the naked eye.

Itsuki nodded, and the air became awkward for a moment before Kyon spoke again.

"Hey, Koizumi," he said, "want to join us for coffee?"

With a small laugh, Itsuki nodded. "Sounds great, thanks."

So the party made its way to the coffee shop. Coincidentally, it was the same coffee shop where Itsuki had gone the day he and Kyon had consummated.

After they'd ordered their drinks, they took a seat, and they were served, They discussed the SOS Brigade lightly over their coffee, and it wasn't long before their once awkward environment was lively and full of laughter.

By the time they left the coffee shop, Haruhi was seeming to get a little antsy, much like a young child, and she even went so far as to pull Kyon aside at one time to speak to him. Itsuki had no idea what was going on, but he wasn't worried much. When the two came back the ESPer gave a questioning look. Kyon responded with a serious face and a beckon.

Itsuki followed him to the side of the coffee shop curiously. "What's going on?" he asked. When he was first beckoned, Kyon had looked serious but now he wore a brighter face with a smile; maybe even a little mischievous.

"Haruhi told me to send you away," he laughed. "She was dead serious, too. 'Tell Koizumi-kun to take a hike, Kyon! This is supposed to be our date!'" Kyon imitated her voice, and Itsuki laughed in response.

"So I'm ruining your perfect date?" he asked teasingly.

"So declares Haruhi," Kyon said as he gently pushed Itsuki against the building's wall and pinned him there. "Personally, I think you're making it better." Next, Kyon leaned himself forward and pressed his lips to Itsuki's. The kiss was aggressive and obviously not mean to last long.

It didn't. The next thing that the lovers heard was a horrified gasp, and they immediately separated. Itsuki knew who it was; it was fairly obvious whom because of their situation, and the shrillness of the voice gave it away. He whirled his head around to see a devastated young brunette, and he froze.

This was definitely bad.

Kyon was next to see her, and he just shook his head when Haruhi's figure caught his eye, as if it were just a dream he was trying to wake up from.

Itsuki and Kyon both knew what this meant. The whole world could end because of this.

Suddenly, Haruhi turned on her heels and began to run. "Haruhi–" Kyon began to call after her, but he knew it was already too late. The damage had been done, and there was no lying about something so painfully obvious.

As expected, the nice day began to turn gloomy. Itsuki cautiously looked over at Kyon, who was just standing there with his arms folded, looking at the ground. Even in this situation, Itsuki couldn't help but observe his beauty. Anyone who couldn't see it, he thought, was insane.

"Kyon-kun..." Itsuki said softly, taking a step toward him and laying his hand on the man's shoulder.

In response, Kyon looked up at him and sighed. "This could mean what I think it means, right?" he asked, his tone serious as death, as Itsuki felt a couple of raindrops. The darker-haired man held out his hand as the rain began to fall more frequently and he observed the tiny specs of water as they landed in his palm.

"Yeah..." Itsuki said, his heart feeling the strangest mix of emotions he'd ever felt. "This isn't good."

And as the sky began to pound with thunder and lightning proceeded to explode in light, the ESPer could already feel the doom that awaited them.
