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?]

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. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, uh... I was with Sasaki?

[extraordinarily]

Who's she? Is she from here? Or back home?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

She was in the same class as me and Kunikida in middle school.

[extraordinarily]

... I see. [ That's depressing. Why do you do this, Kyon? ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, uh...

[HOW IS IT MY FAULT?]

[extraordinarily]

... Y, yeah. [ Because it just is. And she'll just be blushing slightly over here before - ] Do you want to go out?

[ If Kyon takes that the wrong way, he'll get bonus points. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... O-on a date?

1 / 2

[extraordinarily]

[ Internally, Haruhi's like this; she's freaking out so much right now. ]

[extraordinarily]

[ But her outward appearance shows her as ridiculously calm - it's so unlike her, but it's different. And sort of nice. ]

I... if you're okay with it.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

U-uh... [... She isn't berating him for being stupid?] ... S-sure!

[extraordinarily]

That's good. [ She'll immediately grab Kyon's arm with hers, clinging onto it sort of like Chihiro in that one Ghibli movie, but I digress while nuzzling her head on his shoulder. ] Where should we go, though?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Anywhere is fine with me, I guess?

[extraordinarily]

[ For a moment, she ponders about her options, before speaking softly. ] How about the diner? We went there last time.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Sure.

[Um, uh... K-kiss~!?]

[extraordinarily]

[ Haruhi's eyes widen when he kisses her, her face turning completely beet red. She's tempted to just simply get angry at him, but she refrains from doing so. It's nice - and this time, it's a bit different from those previous times that they kissed. After all, the only reason he did so before was because he was worried or something was wrong with her. ]

Let's go. ... And I'll pay this time.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Sounds good to me.
