Author's Note: Hee. I caught the gender bender bug XD. This idea is kind of like a continuation of a comic based on the 6th chapter of the first light novel. I'd show you guys the link of said comic but it's really late here D:. Maybe when I get around doing it...

Enjoy ;)

Spurned by Impulse

I don't know why I did it. You could say it was one of those "spur of the moment" kinds of things. Sigh… maybe I should try to break it down piece by piece so I could come into some form of understanding.

The dream I had the other night was very lucid. So lucid in fact, I could still, well, feel the warmth of that kiss on my lips (Wha? Dammit, Haruki! This is YOUR fault!). And for the record, I HAD to kiss the SOS Brigade's manly commander. I didn't WANT to do it. It was either that or I had to spend an eternity with Haruki Suzumiya by my side, with the sole responsibility of procreating the planet.

Yep. The former choice seemed more appealing at the time…you could say I took one for the team!

But then again, why did I tell him that?? Why did I have to go and tell him he looked really good with his fringe tied back?! I must have been losing it back then or probably it was the only thing I could think of to get his attention.

To top it all off, he actually did tied his godforsaken fringe back today! He chose a marvelous time to really listen what I have said…

Now, these very excellent points still don't explain why I acted on my silly, girlish impulse! Why on earth did I reach out and brushed the backs of my fingers across that idiot's forehead?

Shimatta! Pull your hand back! PULL IT BACK!

"K-Kyon?" he stuttered… ? EH?

I thought he was going to give me that patented glower and tell me to "Cut it out! That's creepy!" or something along those lines. However, I wasn't too comforted by the reaction he was showing now: wide-eyed and slack-jawed.

Just then, he reverted to his old self. "Kyon! What the hell??"

"Ahah! Stray hair!" I managed to sputter out. "Well, it's—WHAA? "

Mm? My sudden outburst? Ah. It's because Haruki did something totally unexpected. It was borderline uncalled for!

The bastard suddenly grabbed the same hand the caressed his forehead earlier and he slowly brought my fingers to his lips.

His reason? "That's payback." He said simply with a grin.

Finally, I was able to yank my hand back and then silently plotting the murder of Haruki Suzumiya.
