Disclaimer: I do not own the Haruhi Suzumiya Franchise or My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU

A/N: Hello again. How long has it been, two and half years. Oops. I am really really sorry about taking so long to update this fic. There is no point in making any excuses and all I can say is sorry. The good news is this chapter is longer than the last one so there is that.

And thank you for all the reviews, follows and favs I really do appreciate it. Anyway I'll stop talking now, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

As usual I was sitting in class letting Hiratsuka-sensei's words enter my ears but todays lesson was on a topic for which I had absolutely no interest in so as soon as her words entered one ear they went out the other. My brain didn't even bother processing what was being said instead it was focussed on what has been happening in the past week.

First I bumped into Haruhi, then my club mates effectively betrayed me and sold both me and the time I had to myself for … nothing. Why couldn't Yukinoshita take the loss did she really have to go so far? This is just depressing, just to be clear I'm depressed that I lost my free time not about being worthless, if anything its something to be proud of because it means that I was able to protect myself from people forcing me into doing things I didn't want to do but for some reason I was forced into things I didn't want to do anyway. I sighed out loud, the last week was a long and exhausting week but at least it would be over soon and then I'd be able to relax at last. If Haruhi or Yuigahama don't force me into doing something stupid but knowing them thats not likely.

Suddenly people started getting up around me, looks like class is over and its time for me to head to the service club. I packed my stuff into my bag, slowly got off my seat and then proceeded to start making my way out of the classroom. Before I could exit the class Yuigahama approached me.

"Hikki, why do you think sensei want to see you again?"

Hmm what was that. Hiratsuka-sensei wants to see me again. Did I really manage to completely ignore her words, including when she addressed me, maybe I should add ignoring people to my list of 108 loner skills but if I add another skill into the list wouldn't it be 109 skills? Not really and thats because of several reason one would be if I could keep adding an endless amount of skills to myself I would end up being as overpowered as a certain caped bald person, plus if I get overpowered it would only bring unnecessary attention to myself which defeats the purpose of being a loner which is why the number of loner skills is limited to 108 if you cross that line you would be giving up your perfect life of solitude. Which is why I won't be crossing that line.

While I was thinking about my 108 loner skills Yuigahama was staring at me expectantly, waiting for my answer to her question, after a while she asked, "Hikki?" this broke me out of my tangent.

"Uh… sorry Yuigahama I wasn't… Uh… paying attention" upon hearing my reply her face turned sour.

"Geez, Hikki you can be so mean sometimes, I asked you why do you think sensei wants to see you again, you know because she wanted to see you yesterday also"

It seems she misunderstood and thought I didn't hear her question to me, "Uh… I heard your question Yuigahama. What I meant by me not paying attention was that I wasn't listening in class"

Realising her mistake Yuigahama's face turned red in embarrassment. Oi don't do that woman it make me embarrassed to.

"Sorry Hikki, I thought you weren't listening to me" she bowed, showing that she really was sorry.

"Its okay, it doesn't really matter"

Once she started looking at me again her eyes widened making it look like she realised something, "Hikki you said you were not paying attention in class?"

"Yes" I wonder why she is asking.

"And you still get good grades!"

"I suppose" I mean I don't do this all the time but if I needed to I could just look through the textbook but that is pain so I usually try to pay attention. Not that it helps with math and science. Why must I be cursed with such subjects?

"Wow, you really are smart Hikki" For some reason once she said that the temperature in the room went up and I found myself slightly flustered due the increase in the temperature. I tried not to let that compliment go to my head, remember Yuigahama is a nice girl and she would say that to anyone. There's no need to get embarrassed over a small complement like that.

"Thanks, Yuigahama" feeling like the conversation was going of tracks I decided to ask her about what sensei said, "What exactly did sensei ask me to do?"

After asking the question Yuigahama looked puzzled for a second but then she looked like she remembered something, "Ah right, she just told you to meet her in her office after class"

"I see, then I should get going"

"Ah yeah, sorry for keeping you here Hikki, I'll tell Yukinon why you're going to be late"

"Ah thanks" after saying those words I exited the class and started heading towards Hiratsuka-sensei's office.

Hiratsuka-sensei's Office:

I was now standing in Sensei's office for the second time in two days and I was starting to get annoyed. Why you ask, Its simple, its because Sensei for the second time in two days seems to have forgotten that I'm standing right in front of her. This is seriously getting old, its almost as if I'm in some sort of story and the author is running out of comic relief. Get your act together author-san its bad enough you took a two year break and now you're repeating jokes. Anyway it looked like Sensei was looking at a piece of paper that was on her desk. Whatever was on it must be important for her to look so lost in thought and to completely forget that I'm standing right in front of her. Maybe I was right yesterday and my stealth Hikki skill has levelled up. Hehe, just think of the possibilities. And by that I mean completely avoiding all human contact, I can become the ultimate loner, the loner other loners are envious of, the loner king if you will. My thoughts were interrupted by sensei speaking.

"Hikigaya, why are you just standing there, and wipe that creepy smile of your face" said Sensei. Ouch that hurt almost as much as one of her punches. Aren't teachers supposed to be kind and caring and not insulting. Teachers aren't supposed to hit their students either.

"Sensei, you should really act more like a teacher" I decided to voice my thoughts, which in hindsight was a bad idea.

In response to my suggestion Hiratsuka-sensei glared at me and said, "And just what is that supposed to mean, HIK-KI-GAYA"

"Nothing" I quickly replied, she didn't seem too convinced so I decided to move the conversation along before I get hurt once again this week.

"So why did you call me here Sensei" hearing my question Hiratsuka-sensei's face softened slightly but it still held a glare.

"Well remember how yesterday I made you the chairman of the festival committee" Oh right the unnecessary amount of work you dumped on me, I almost forgot that after you sold of all my free time. I can't believe all that happened in one day, why can't I just rest peacefully.

"Yes" I said in response to end my depressing train of thoughts.

"Well today there is a committee meeting and here…" she handed me a piece of paper from her desk, "this is the schedule for all the committee meeting, so that you know when to go, knowing you will most probably use not knowing when to go as an excuse not to show up, and we can't have the festival committee chairman not showing up, can we Hikigaya?" That does sound like something I would do but isn't one of my powers as chairman deciding when to meet as well.

"Wait, don't I get to decide when the committee meets" I said to sensei.

"Well you do, this is just a list of date's where you have to meet, feel free to call more meetings on the other days as well if you want"

"Thats just great" I grumbled to my self and decided to show my self out.

Hallway:

I was now walking down a corridor on the way to the service club. It was long and dark, looking out a window I could see a lot of dark grey clouds. It looks like its going to rain, its a good thing I brought my umbrella. Thank you phone-chan for warning me, although getting sick because of the rain might not be such bad idea. It would give me the perfect excuse to miss meetings and salvage some of my lost free time. But knowing Haruhi, she would drag me along anyway. My situation really is hopeless. I let out a sigh, if I keep thinking like this I will only get more depressed and thats not going to help anyone most of all me. Closing my eyes I thought to myself, think happy thoughts Hachiman. 'Totsuka, totsuka, totsuka'.I heard saying it three times will make an angel appear. With this positive thought in my mind I opened my eyes only to be met with the same dark corridor as before.

The world really is dark place.

I decided to continue walking, to distract myself from those previous sad thoughts. I decided to take a look at the piece of paper in my hand. It looks like the committee is going to have to meet twice every week for the next three weeks. Why three weeks you ask? Well the week after that third week is when the festival is going to be held. We can't exactly have a planning committee meeting while the festival is running. Hopefully thats enough time to convince Haruhi to reduce her demands and make the festival more doable. Though that is just optimistic thinking on my path, Haruhi usually isn't the type to just give in. I sighed, essentially this is what it comes down to if I fail to successfully change Haruhi's mind it will be my job to try and make her extravagant idea's a reality. I really don't want to that. Trying to change her mind is also going to take a lot of work but it would easily be less than actually carrying out Haruhi's just too much work either way you look at it. Ah gods of romantic comedy's why have you doomed so. Now how exactly do I convince Haruhi to alter her plans. I could …

"ah"

"Huh"

I looked down, it looks like I walked it into someone.

"Ah, sorry about that" I need to get my monologuing under control, its just getting me into unnecessary trouble, I mean making me to talk to people smh.

"Mou, senpai you really need to look where you're going youu knoww." So the person I bumped into was Isshiki.

"I said I was sorry" Geez, woman what more do you want.

"Huh, senpai talking back gets you minus fifty points" she said while shaking her head looking disappointed. Hey wait a second why am I loosing points as far as I know we are not on a practise date. I looked around me, as I thought I was right. I'm still in school so why are there points. This system is rigged I tell you. Despite thinking all that I kept my usual poker face.

Suddenly, Isshiki stopped shaking her head and looked at me with a smile. Oh no, this can't be good. Please Iroha-chan have mercy on this poor senpai of yours, I have enough on my plate as it is.

"I know senpai, as compensation for bumping into me all you have to do is buy me a drink" All I have to do she says. In the first place bumping into someone is something completely normal and wouldn't normal require compensation and you didn't fall or anything so why do I have to compensate you. Yes thats right I'm in the clear I should voice my opposition.

"Why do I have to compensate you? I didn't do anything wrong"

"Huh, but you did senpai, I could have fallen and gotten hurt so you have to…" she paused and then moved her finger to her mouth and made a cute expression, "… besides didn't you say you would take responsibility, senpaaaiii" This sly fox, its just waste precious energy arguing with her.

I sighed "Fine, whatever I needed a drink anyway" after I said those words her expression changed to one of victory. You just wanted a free drink, didn't you.

Lucky for me there was vending machine right in front of us, so I would't have to go out of my way to please the fox.

Going to vending the machine I decided to ask her what she wanted, "So, what do you want" I made sure my voice sounded bored rather than defeated. If you let someone see you in a weak and defeated position they will only want to keep seeing you in such a state. This is will lead them to continuing their painfully annoying shenanigans, source m- I mean a friend of a friend.

"umm, I'll have the strawberry one, senpai"

I clicked the button for strawberry and then waited of it to drop, Then I put some more coins in and clicked the button for the drink of the gods, MAX COFFEE, its sweet nectar will surely brighten this dull day.

I bent down and got the drinks. I quickly handed her the strawberry drink.

"Arigato, senpai" There's no need to say thank you when you're the one forcing me to get you the drink you knowww.

"There's no need to thank me" I decided to say.

"Mouuu, senpaiii you should just take the thank you. But I guess senpai will be senpai and thats okay too, so for this I'll give you five points senpai"

Again with the points, but a win is a win so I'll take it. Instead of replying to her I went ahead and opened the can of Max Coffee. I sighed with relief after taking a sip of the divine drink. All is good with the world again.

"You really like that drink don't you senpai" she said, I don't know if she was genuinely curious or just making conversation but a question about Max cannot go unanswered.

"Of course I do, Max Coffee is the drink of the gods" I said with what would probably be described as a creepy smile.

"Disgusting" replied Isshiki, now that was going too far.

"You can insult me all you want but don't you dare insult Max" what has Max ever done to you.

"Who said I was talking about the coffee senpai, thats another minus thousand points" she said as she raised her hand to hold her head mimicking Yukinoshita.

Thats too cold Iroha-chan the ice oni is teaching you way too much go back to being the sly fox you once were.

"Tchh, don't you have work to do" I said in an effort to change topics.

"Ah, you're right we have to prepare for the meeting" Oh yes that meeting, the one I am now in charge of, what a pain.

"You should go ahead then, and make sure you have a proper plan" I say to her, if she has a good proposal then it would easier to deal with Haruhi, well relatively easier.

"Don't worry Senpai we have it covered" I looked at her surprised. A feeling of pride crept in to my heart, is this what it feels like when a parent see's their child accomplish something great.

"Ah, well almost teeheehee. Besides now that senpai is in charge we don't have anything to worry about" she said while trying to look cute. So thats why you didn't have any problems with me being chairman. This sly fox give me back my feelings, you can't just leave these kind of things in the hands of others.

"Isshiki as chairman I can't show favouritism to one group, you need to actually have a plan"

"But even you think Suzumiya-san's plan isn't good right senpai"

I sighed and looked at the dark grey sky, "Even so, Haruhi is a very stubborn person and the only way I will be able to change her mind is if I can show her there is a better way" or maybe say something about aliens, espers, and time travellers. Hmm that might actually work I'll call it plan B and if that doesn't work there is always Plan C. Hehe just kidding, if that happen the world might actually end.

Isshiki looked at me with determined expression, "Don't worry senpai, just leave it to me" and then proceeded to give me a mock salute.

I smiled, "Hai, hai my kohai is very dependable so I will be placing my trust in you"

"Are you hitting on me senpai, I'm sorry but that b-grade compliment won't get you very far you need try again" again with the rejections.

"Whatever, just make sure you have something or else we'll be stuck following Haruhi's plan" We probably are going to be stuck following Haruhi's plans but I don't want to demotivate her. If she gets demotivated it would just add more work to my plate.

After saying that she raised her head and asked, "by the way senpai why do you call Suzumiya-san by her first name?"

I feel like I already answered this question, "Didn't I already tell you"

"Nope, you just said you were friends, that doesn't answer the questions"

She's right not all friends use their first name, unless they are from another country, only when two people reach a certain point of closeness do they use each others first name. So why do I call Haruhi, Haruhi. As far as I can remember I always have. Could it be something to do with her powers? No, if I take the time to think about it I guess I would say it just felt right.

"I don't know, I guess to me Haruhi has always just been Haruhi" I said hopping that it would be enough to satisfy her question.

"hmm, then senpai will you call me by first name?" she said, her face looked hopeful? maybe I'm reading too much into it.

"Eh" my face looked shocked, what are you saying Isshiki, I can't. That would be bad if other people heard me doing that then it would damage your reputation.

"Um" I guess i was quiet for too long she looked a bit downcast, her expression then morphed into what looked like a forced smile, "Just kidding hehehe look at your face senpai" She then turned around and said, "I'll be going ahead then senpai" her head was facing down as she began walking.

Whats with that depressed aura. Should I do something. Should I stop her but then what would I say. If I say what she wants me to say it could start a troublesome change in everything, can I do it. I tightened my first, I sound like Hayama, I wanted something genuine and if this is a step I need to take then I should take it but why is it so hard.

I raised my hand "wait" Isshiki stopped and slowly turned her head and waited.

"Ir..Ir..oh.a" I said softly and shyly, then closed my eyes and raised my voice "Iroha"

When I opened my eyes I saw that her face was red. "Wha..What are you saying senpai" then she smiled and quietly said, "Its still a bit embarrassing but if its just the two of us then it should be fine" Don't say such embarrassing things Iroha, I could feel my own face heating up

"Anyway I really need to go now senpai" she said and then walked away with a slight spring in her step

I smiled and then continued on my walk to the service club.

As always my kouhai catches me by surprise.

Service Club:

I was now standing outside the club. The hallway was still dark because of the clouds, I wonder if it will actually rain or are the clouds just passing. I could hear the muffled voices of my fellow club mates from behind door. Why am I just standing still, perhaps what happened earlier has scared me. Things can change very quickly and it already has in the last two days, will the club be able handle more change. Would it just fall apart? Well if it does I guess it just wasn't genuine. That thought did leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

With that thought I opened the door.

"Well, well it looks like Hikideliquent-kun has decided to show his face"

"Ah, Yahallo Hikki"

Must you really start with an insult, is a simple hello too much to ask for.

"Yo" I replied, again I chose a nice simple and efficient greeting. You should take some lessons from me Yukinoshita-san.

"So what horrible crime did you commit Hikicriminal-kun" She said with a cold look on her face.

"Oi, don't treat me like a criminal, I'm innocent I tell you" I'm being framed, Komachi-chan please wait for your brother.

"But your eyes say otherwise" Ack, it felt like an arrow went through my heart. I just sat down and I'm sure I looked lethargic. Twice in one day really, what kind of crappy luck do I have.

Noticing my discomfort Yuigahama intervened, "Now now, I think what Yukinon is trying to say is what did sensei want Hikki?" At this point Yukinoshita also noticed my discomfort and a guilty look crossed her face. So the ice queen does have feelings. Before she could open her mouth and say what was probably going to be an uncomfortable apology I answered the question.

"She was just telling about these meetings the committee has to have" I said as I waved the piece of paper in my hand. Damn Haruhi making me do troublesome things.

"I was under the impression that the chairperson gets to decide when a meeting takes place" Replied Yukinoshita

"So was I" hearing my reply Yukinoshita titled her head slightly. It looks like she's expecting more of an answer but there's nothing more I can say, it is what it is complaining will only use energy I simply cannot afford to waste. So I just stayed silent.

"Hm, whats that paper Hikki?" said Yuigahama once she noticed the troublesome paper I was waving around. Hearing this Yukinoshita also looked at the paper, looks like she didn't notice it before Yuigahama. Way to go Gahama-chan you're improving.

"This is the schedule for the meetings, its why Hiratsuka-sensei called me" I replied, Yuigahama seemed satisfied with my response.

"If you don't mind could I have look at it Hikigaya-kun" Yukinoshita said as she raised her hand for the paper. Well I don't see why not so I got up and just handed it to her. She took it and looked at it intensely. I then looked at Yuigahama who was busy on her phone. I guess I can use this time to relax, at least until the meeting. I definitely need it seeing as the rest of my free days have been taken up by Haruhi and the service club.

Just as I was about to take out a light novel to read, Yukinoshita, raised her head and spoke interrupting my brief relaxation time. Its bad enough you took my weekends woman

"Hikigaya-kun who is Mikuru Asahina" huh, Asahina-san. My face scrunched in confusion why is she asking about Asahina-san

"She is a member of the SOS Brigade" She is also a time traveler sent into the past to observe Haruhi but I guess this the best response, if I said the whole truth she would think I'm regressing back to my chunni days, we can't have that now can we.

"Hmm, I see" her expression changed to one that showed she was slightly troubled by the revelation, I wonder why, and why is she asking about Asahina-san as far as I know they haven't really interacted with each other. Unless, my eyes widened, no Asahina-san wouldn't, would she? Would she talk to Yukinoshita about time travel. No that doesn't make sense whenever I bring it up she just smiles and says its classified. So logically she wouldn't bring it up with Yukinoshita. Right? I should probably clear this up before it leads to a misunderstanding.

"Why are you asking about Asahina-san?" Yukinoshita looked at me and then held up the paper.

"I was just trying to figure out who the vice chairperson was" huh, hold on vice chairperson what do you mean by vice chairperson. I tilted my head to the right to show my confusion and asked, "vice-chairperson?"

Yukinoshita looked at me, she also had confused expression on her face. "The vice chairperson mentioned on the form."

"The vice chairperson was mentioned on the form?" I did just skim through it so its reasonable to miss a few things here and there right. I'm totally not becoming an airhead right? right? Please don't be silent.

Yukinoshita sighed and raised her hand to hold her head, "I knew your eyes looked bad but to think it would actually affect your vision as well" she then got of her seat and slowly walked towards me. She then placed the paper on the desk in front of me, and placed her finger on one line on the paper.

The line said," Vice chairperson - Mikuru Asahina"

"I see so Asahina-san is the vice chairperson" I smiled. Things are looking better now, if Asahina-san is there it will make things more bearable. But hold on why would Asahina-san be vice chairperson. Lets see, I was placed here because of Haruhi so my guess is that Asahina-san is also there because of Haruhi. But why would Haruhi put Asahina-san there. Well she could be thinking that with Asahina-san as the vice chairperson it will be easier to control the committee. But wait isn't that what she thinks I'll do. Unless she is using Asahina-san to control me. No don't fall for it Kyon, don't let yourself do more work. Oh great now I'm calling myself Kyon as well.

"So you don't call Asahina-san by her first name Hikki?" Yuigahama interrupted my thoughts. Why is everyone asking me about first names.

"Uh no, why would I?" I asked Yuigahama, its better to ask her why then try and figure it out, its not easy figuring out the motivations of an airhead after all.

"Um, well its just… there's another girl in your old club as well right Hikki?" instead of answering she deflected and asked me another question. What is she getting at?

"You mean Nagato-san?" I asked hoping this would get me some answers.

"Hmm, last name as well" she said that quietly and then looked like she was getting lost in thought. Don't think too hard Gahama-chan you could strain your mind after all when you use a muscle a lot after not using it will only get strained. Not that the brain is a muscle. Wait no it is, wait no it isn't. What is it? It doesn't matter, right?

"Ano- Yuigahama" I spoke hoping this was enough to get her to answer my question.

"Ah" she yelped, "Right, Hikki sorry" and then looked at me apologetically. This girl, you can't just loose yourself in the middle of conversation. Although I really shouldn't be the one saying that.

"Its just you only call Suzumiya-san by her first name and I was wondering why?"

Ah, my eyes widened. Yukinoshita also looked like she wanted to know. This is the second time today someone asking me this. Why the sudden interest.

"Didn't I already answer this" I dodged

Yuigahama nodded her head "Right, you said she was your friend but you said Asahina-san and Nagato-san were your friends as well but you don't call them by their first name" I forgot when it comes to social situations Yuigahama is surprisingly perceptive. Looks like I got to answer her properly.

I sighed, "Look, I honestly don't know, its just I don't know. Haruhi has just always been Haruhi" there is nothing else I can say. I mean after all the things that happened in that year in the SOS brigade it is fair to say that we were close. But I was calling her Haruhi even before then its just what felt right, I guess. I can't really put it in to words.

Hearing my answer Yukinoshita turned around and walked back to her seat. Yuigahama simply replied, "I see" but her tone sounded slightly sad.

The clubroom was now silent. The dark clouds and the silence was making the atmosphere in the room depressing. Don't get me wrong I love the silence, I live for the silence but this type oppressive silence isn't the silence I want. It isn't the comfortable silence I have come to enjoy during my stay in the service club. I looked at both Yukinoshita and Yuigahama, it doesn't look like either of them are going to end this silence. So it has fallen on to me the loner, heh who would have thought a loner would be the one to end this awkwardness.

"Shouldn't we prepare for the meeting we have to go for" hearing this they both raised their head and looked at me, eyes widened. Don't underestimate a loner when the time comes they can say the right things. Like the times when you have ask for coffee at a cafe or ask the clerk at the game shop where the game you're looking for is.

"Ah right the meeting, I totally forgot hehe" its okay Gahama-chan I expected nothing less from you.

Yukinoshita looked at me with a surprised expression on her face, "Did my ears deceive me or did Hikigaya-kun actually ask to do work. The world must be close to its end" haha very funny although you might not be that for off. If I resist Haruhi too much or do something that displeases her the world might actually end.

"There are times when you must do some work so that you don't have to do more work later on" was my response. Hearing it both my club mates looked at me with a disappointed expression on their face.

"As expected of Hikilazy-kun" hey I just agreed to do work isn't that enough, leave me alone already.

With a serious expression on her face she asked, "So what do you have planned for the festival Hikigaya-kun"

"I told Isshiki to make a plan that was reasonable and she assured me she had it covered" well she said kind off had it covered but Yukinoshita doesn't need to know that.

Yukinoshita shook her head, "So you have fallen so low that you would burden your kouhai with such responsibilities." Hmm, but isn't that what Kouhai's are for, pawning of work. You see it all the time in sports club, well sports anime imagine me in a sports club (lol). The new Kouhai are always given extra work by their senpai and the Kouhai's always accept it thinking its their duty. So it should be fine if I pawn off some work from time to time. I mean compared to those other senpai's I'm practically a saint here. If anything Isshiki should be grateful. Unfortunately, I suspect this line of reasoning will only anger my club mates so it would probably be better for my health if I said something else.

"Well unlike you Yukinoshita, I choose to put my faith in Isshiki because I believe in her" I made sure the sound of conviction leaked from my voice. Yes this line is so positive that it should work, after all its not something I would say. In truth I don't think Isshiki is going to get her plan done in time. So why am I trying to get out of making my own plan you ask? Hehe, good question. It's simple I don't need to tire myself making a good plan if someone else does it for me. I'm hoping Yukinoshita will shake her head and come up with something. If that doesn't work there is always plan B. It would be safer to skip plan C. Oh, I know plan D can be ask Nagato for help, she is always reliable in situations like this so thats Plan D. But Plan D is also one I must avoid, it wouldn't fair of me to burden Nagato with so much after breaking my promise. I sighed, I really am the worst. Should I have just put up with it? Should I have left? I sighed internally, I can't do anything about it now and the past should stay in the past.

Yuigahama was the first to respond, "That was really positive Hikki but at the same time really disgusting" ahh that hurts, even when I say positive things it's disgusting then what am I supposed to say.

"We must be more vigilant when that thing talks with Isshiki-san, who knows what he will do to her" You just called me thing didn't you, you're to cruel ice queen-sama have some mercy.

"Tch, are you guys done messing around" I said, I made sure my face showed my annoyance.

"Hihihi" Yuigahama giggled and Yukinoshita too had a smile on her face. This was the everyday interactions of our club after all.

"Based on your response I'm going to assume you don't have anything planned Hikigaya-kun" She asked, this time serious.

"Well I wouldn't say I don't have a plan but they are more like contingencies incase the main plan fails" Right plan B and D can only be used if we can't convince Haruhi to accept another plan or change her own plan. Hearing my statement the two girls had look of worry cross their faces.

"Your not going back to your old ways are you Hikigaya-kun"

"Yeah, yeah you don't have to anything like that Hikki, you can totally count on us"

My eyes my widened. My old ways huh, back when I would sacrifice myself just to get a request done quickly. While those methods were effective they would definitely not work in this situation. Haruhi wouldn't even bat an eye. But the concern of my club mates touched my heart.

I smiled at them, "don't worry, its nothing like that. I just know of some ways that might get Haruhi to go in a different direction but it is a double edged sword, not in a bad way just that it might lead to more work" Yep if I talk about aliens Haruhi might get the wrong idea and make us do something even more ridiculous.

"What do you mean" Asked Yukinoshita.

"Its not important, if it comes to it you will see when it happens" I hope it doesn't happen. But knowing my luck its probably going to.

"Ah well okay then, We will trust you and leave it in your hands Hikigaya-kun, if the situation calls for it that is" Hai, hai.

"But it won't, besides now that Hikki is the chairman can't he just reject Suzumiya-san's proposal"

I sighed and looked at Yukinoshita she was looking at me as well. We were both probably thinking the same thing.

"Its not that simple Yuigahama" I started.

"You saw how she was Yuigahama-san. Suzumiya-san wouldn't just accept a rejection unless there was a good reason for it" continued Yukinoshita.

"And even then, thats only if we're lucky and she isn't in the mood to fight for what she wants" because if she is then Haruhi help us.

"I see, then what are we going to do Yukinon" asked Yuigahama. I too turned to Yukinoshita hoping that she does actually have a plan. Seeing our stares Yukinoshita had smug smile on her face.

"I thought this would happened, so I came up with a proposal and if Isshiki-san's proposal isn't ready we can use it" Yukinoshita is as reliable as always. But this did worry me, I know I said I wanted her to think of a plan but I didn't want her to do it alone. I don't want this to be repeat of the culture festival. I definitely don't want to be the Sagami of this situation.

Yuigahama also had a concerned expression on her face, "Mou, Yukinon you could've asked me for some help, I could have helped"

I decided to chip in as well, "I know that it looks like I hate working but even someone as unreliable as I can help from time to time" I said hopefully the sentiment will get across to her. She can share her burden with us.

Seeing our concerned looks, Yukinoshita softly smiled and said, "It wasn't that much trouble really, but next time I will take you up on your offer" She then bowed slightly and said, "I'll be in your care then"

Yuigahama then got up, walked towards Yukinoshita and gave her a big hug, "You can totally count on us Yukinon"

I smiled. Its getting late and we need to get to that meeting and besides I should probably interrupt before Yurigahama makes any more moves. Not that I would mind.

I coughed into my hand, "We should probably get going" hearing my voice Yukinoshita looked at the clock and said, "It would be improper for the chairman to be late to the meeting"

We all got up and started walking towards the door and just as I was about to open it Yuigahama interrupted and said, "Oh yeah, we also need to stop for snacks"

I sighed as I exited, ignoring her completely.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter this is now the longest chapter I've ever written so I am sorry about any typo's or grammar mistakes. Again I really am sorry about taking so long to update. To make up for it I added another fun scene I know it doesn't make up for the wait but I had to try.

Thanks for reading and please do review or pm if you have any questions or feedback

Until the next time we meet again

Omake:

It looks like I spoke to soon, I'm now in a convince store 'browsing for snacks". In reality I'm simply standing around watching Yuigahama go "ooh" and ahh" at bags of confectionary. It's not that hard choosing a snack. Yukinoshita meanwhile was busy looking through a cat magazine. Wait they have cat magazines, who knew.

"Yuigahama if you don't pick something soon we will end up late" If we are late Haruhi will totally bother me. She would probably go as far as invite everyone out for dinner and then make me pay for it. Ganbare wallet-chan. Hachiman will protect you.

"But its so hard Hikki see this one has this nice colour an this one has a cute dog on the cover and this one here has a bunny, its so hard too choose" I narrowed my eyes and sighed frustration. You don't choose snacks based on how they look Gahama-chan, taste matters.

"Eh, but they both taste the same Hikki". I don't remember saying that out loud. Ah could she be an esper as well. She hasn't shown any signs of being one before this. Could Haruhi have turned Yuigahama into an esper?

"How could Suzumiya-san do that" said Yuigahama with a confused expression on her face. Yes how indeed. Eh, wait again.

"Ah, Hikki you're talking out loud"

"Oh, then forget I said anything, I was just joking around hehehe" I laughed awkwardly, hopefully this makes her forget what i said about Haruhi earlier. I really need to be careful with my mouth.

"Hmm, if you say so Hikki" she said in an uninterested manner and went back to looking at her snacks. Lucky for me Yuigahama is an airhead. To distract my self I turned to see if Yukinoshita was still with her magazine when something caught my eye. I slowly walked towards it. It can't be, to think a small convenience store would have items of this calibre. What is it you ask? The answer is something mere mortals cannot even comprehend. But I guess it is the duty of the enlightened to try and share what they learned. The items in front of me were the three legendary limited edition Max Coffee cans. These cans were released last month as a promotion for some anime or the other but before I could get a hold of any they sold out. To think something of this caliber wold just show up in front of me. I truly am a blessed man. Being the kind and generous soul I am, I decided to share my discovery with my club mates. This might make them see the greatness of Max Coffee.

"Yukinoshita, Yuigahama, could you come here for a second?" I said.

"What is it Hikigaya-kun and wipe that disgusting smil from your face," Smile? Oh it seems the sight of the Max Coffee brought a smile to my face. To an outside observer it might well be described as creepy. But I think disgusting is going too far. Ah, well it doesn't I'll let it go for now Yukinoshita-san because of the sight before me.

Yuigahama walked over with a packet in her hand, it looks like she went with the dog. "Is it an other cute snack Hikki"

Snacks aren't supposed to be cute. But I suppose these cans of Max are cute, look at them just standing there so peaceful. Ah, this could be one of the few things that surpass's Komachi's cuteness level.

I proceeded to point at the cans of Max Coffee with an expectant expression on my face. The two of them looked at the cans and they both shared a disappointed look with each other.

"I knew this would be a waste of time, to think I left those cats for this" Said Yukinoshita as she walked off.

"I think I should go with bunny after all" said Yuigahama as she walked off.

Eh but but Max. Is all I could think of as a lone tear rolled down my cheek.
