And so, Valentine's was upon us...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Who: Kyon and Haruhi
What: Suddenly, flowers!
Where: I guess it'll probably start at Kyon's place
When: Starting Feb 13th, could spill into subsequent days
Warnings: Just... HaruKyon nonsense.

[Kyon came into his house to sit on the couch after school, Haruhi not far behind. He took a glance at the flowers on the table. They'd just turned up yesterday out of the blue, like many things do in Mayfield. ... They didn't have that fragrance before now though, did they?]

What does it look like I'm doing? I'm checking to see if these flowers are different than regular flowers! [ Because they might be flowers from outer space or something that are disguised as.. regular flowers. Yeah. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Right.

[extraordinarily]

[ Wow, rude. Don't go be that way! You know what, maybe Haruhi should just.. drag you over to the flowers! ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[G-gack!]

[extraordinarily]

[ And Haruhi's giving her usual mischievous smile as they finally reach the stupid pot. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Why are we looking at this, Haruhi?

[extraordinarily]

Because! They're mysterious flowers that came out of nowhere!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right... You could already smell them from over there anyway...

[extraordinarily]

But that doesn't mean that they just sit there and do nothing.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Sigh...]

(Well, that's Haruhi for you...)

[... B-blush...]

[extraordinarily]

[ And after a few seconds, Haruhi just frowns and plops herself on a chair. ]

Guess they're just ordinary flowers after all.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right... And uh, what was the point of dragging me over like that?

[extraordinarily]

B- Because! I'm your brigade chief, and this was important. [ It's not like she's avoiding Kyon's gaze and blushing or anything, no way. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

"Important"?

[extraordinarily]

You know what tomorrow is... [ Her voice falters slightly, but then she manages to squeak out: ] right?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

V-Valentine's day... right?

[extraordinarily]

40 points. [ Yeah, she's doing her usual scoring when asking questions thing. ] You know what happens on Valentine's day here too, right?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I suppose so...?

[extraordinarily]

Well? [ Surprisingly, Haruhi sounds calm -- she's not pissed off at all. Weird, huh? ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

W-well, you can't expect the same thing two years in a row... I mean, Christmas was different...

[extraordinarily]

[ Haruhi frowns slightly before sighing. But she's still not going to yell at Kyon. ] I never said you had to be specific.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, people happened to get memories of relationships they'd never actually had with other people?

[extraordinarily]

[ She's silent at that. ] Well, that's not too horrible. ... Depending on the person it was with.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Really?

[He didn't expect that from her...]

[extraordinarily]

So who were you with? [ And that's when Haruhi goes, "I'm going to kill you if you don't tell me", though she's still awfully calm, what the hell. ]
