Yeah I'm back with this story, I don't even know if anyone still reads this. Hope you like the new update

Kyon sighed heavily, pushing the door to the club room wearily. Not looking forward to what he would have to face after his wondrous time away from school and the stresses of high school life. Though he was usually neutral around the festive season, this year had been rather pleasant. Being able to spend time with Itsuki had been rather comforting, instead of just being alone with his sister. However, due to being an Esper Itsuki had been busy for a lot of it but made time as much as he could for Kyon.

Being able to share Christmas cake and turkey curry with Itsuki and his sister had been really fun. Watching festive films and cuddling up beside a warm fire had been a very pleasant experience. Nothing excessively fancy and over the top but still one of the best Christmas's he had experienced in a very long time. His sister had even accepted Itsuki as a member of the family and called him big brother too, not minding that he was involved with her brother.

But now the fun and games was over and it was back to reality, returning to the life of a boring high school student involved in a pointless club ran by an eccentric teenager. Knowing that he was going to get dragged around again by Haruhi's whims and there was nothing he could do about it. At least he had Itsuki now to keep him grounded and feel comforted when things got too much for him.

He was pleased to find the club room was empty for once, meaning he could enjoy blissful peace and quiet for a while. Knowing he must have arrived early, so nobody could scold him for being tardy. He sighed heavily, closing the door behind him and pacing towards the table. He placed his coat and satchel over the chair before turning on the gas stove. Brewing himself some tea to warm up, given it was still cold outside and he doubted the heating would be turned on just yet.

The last thing he wanted to do was get sick as that would only give Haruhi more of an excuse to give him shit. He switched on the small electric heater they purchased for the club room. Being a small storage/abandoned club room, the room was not fitted with radiators. So, they bought a small electric heater for the winter seasons. The room starting to feel cozier and comforting already. Feeling as though he was back home again, remembering the memories of cake and curry again.

However, his peace and quiet was not to last. His previous mild and neutral mood soon to change to slight irritation. Facing a problem, he had been trying to face since last year. The door to the club room opened once more, signalling the arrival of another club member. He prayed mentally that it would be Yuki or Mikuru, but alas it was the very person he had been trying to avoid.

Haruhi opened the club room door quietly, wearing a thick winter coat, cardigan and warm scarf. Her cheeks red from the cold and a weary look on her face, obviously not happy to be back at school either. Upon looking up, she caught sight of Kyon standing by the stove. The light golden light of the sun beaming through the window, his brown eyes hinting a slight amber gleam to them. Her heart fluttering lightly in her chest, but she hid the fact of how happy she was to see him again.

She hadn't seen him since that day before Christmas when she tried to confess her feelings. She had tried to contact him during Christmas, but he had never replied making her worry he was mad. When she tried to find him by chance, she never seemed able to. She had worried he had been mad at her for whatever reason, frustrated at why he didn't understand her feelings. But now she had been given a new chance to make a move and attempt to pursue a relationship with him. She wouldn't let him slip through her fingers again.

But she was glad he was happy, Kyon always seemed to have something on his mind and that made him worry. There were times when she worried he tended to overthink things and let too many of his problems get the better of him. "So, you enjoy your freedom from responsibility at Christmas? Now that your back, don't think you can still laze around as much, got it?" she replied brashly. Mentally cursing herself for the bitchy response which would obviously leave him in a bad mood. Why could she never just be cute and playful like Mikuru was?

Kyon blushed, his mind filling with memories of spending Christmas with his younger sister and newly acquainted lover. Silly, stupid, simple things but they made him so happy, given his parents were always away on business and tended to babysit his sibling. But having Itsuki around made him so happy, adding a sense of comfort to him. "Yeah, I did. In fact, I'd say it was the best Christmas I've had so far" he confessed shyly. Until now he had never really made a big deal out of Christmas, but now it was something he remembered fondly.

Haruhi sighed under her breath in relief, to know that Kyon's tension had eased since then. Glad to know he wasn't mad at her after what happened, but she would never let him know that. It would be far too awkward to have to deal with. She may as well take this chance while she had, their team mates could show up at any moment and ruin this opportunity. "Listen Kyon, about what I said before that time. I need to get an answer" she replied abruptly her tone awkward. She could only wait so long to get an answer from him.

Kyon stiffened, having hoped he could forget all about this conversation. She had no idea he wasn't interested in her, let alone that he was dating Itsuki in a homosexual relationship. Gods knows what would happen if she found out he was dating him. But he had to tell her the truth, stringing her along by not being honest about his answer would simply be cruel. It was best to just get it over and done with, like ripping off a band aid when you hurt yourself. Avoiding the matter would only make things worse for him.

Haruhi swallowed, clenching her fists with a light dusted blush on her cheeks. God, admitting this sort of stuff was so embarrassing and stupid, but she had to speak her mind before she went insane. "I… I know I'm hard to handle, I'm not exactly the girly type like Mikuru and I can be a bit of a bitch sometimes. But… you're not like other guys, you don't try to impress me, I think we'd be good together" she stammered in a reserved manner. Their dates would never be boring and she would always keep him on his toes, that's what guys liked right? She heard it all the time from their other classmates.

Kyon could sense the earnest tone in her voice, she was being utterly serious about her feelings. He never thought a girl like Haruhi was even capable of romantic attachment or interested in relationships at all. He knew what it was like to develop an unrequited crush on someone. He felt bad that he was going to reject her, given she was really nervous about this. But he really loved Itsuki and he didn't what to ruin what they had. Given all they had on the line just by seeing each other.

He bowed his head, staring at the kettle blankly as it continued to boil. God, of all times he had to deal with this situation now. "Gomen, Haruhi. I appreciate the gesture, given you tend to think of relationships as a waste of time, so I'll take it as a compliment. But… I've been seeing someone for at least a month now, and I really care about them" he confessed in a sombre tone. Haruhi was a pretty girl, she was certainly outspoken and didn't take crap from anyone. She was both admirable and a pain in the ass, but he had feelings for Itsuki. He was drawn to the mysterious and playful Esper, feeling a sense of unspoken comfort whenever they were together.

Haruhi stood where she was in silence, her eyes widening and a look of hurt flashed across her face. A painful silence echoing through the room before gripping her hands into fists, her anger firing up all at once. "What?! Since when have you had a girlfriend? You're the most apathetic person I know! What girl would be interested in someone like you?" she snapped in a hurt tone. She knew she was starting to sound cruel and pushing him away, but all of her feelings were coming out at once. Who had been the one to make a move first and confess their feelings to Kyon? Wondering if it had been Mikuru or possibly even Nagato, he did spend a lot of time with them after all. Was he one of those Moe fanboys?

Kyon irked, his mood abruptly worsening, his peaceful morning being ruined by her presence. God, why did she always try to control his life? What he did and whom he hated was none of her business. She may have been god, but he had no interest in being her puppet. "Whomever I date is my business, thanks. I don't have to tell you about who I may or may not be involved in. You can't control every damn aspect of my life, you're my club president and classmate. Not my damn sister or wife!" Kyon snapped fiercely. He knew he sounded like a jerk, but he was sick of her always being so intrusive, there was such a thing as personal space and privacy.

Haruhi stiffened, going quiet. She felt her throat tightening and going sore, her breathing hitching and wanting to quicken. Her eyes shining over with tears, but she held them back, but her hands were shaking with rage and hurt. Trying her hardest to restrain the storm of emotions raging inside of her in that minute. Her face becoming a pout, turning on her heels and storming angrily out of the club room. She couldn't face him right now, it hurt too much "The club is shut today, do whatever you want" she snapped.

Kyon stood in the club-room, the painful silence echoing in his ears. The kettle starting to slowly whistle as he was reminded of his desired cup of tea. He knew what he had just done would have tempered with reality because of her rage. But right now, he couldn't care less, even god had to deal with unfairness and disappointment sometimes. She would face plenty of heartbreak in the years to come, this situation being no different and something she would have to tolerate.

Mikuru gripped her chest tightly, her whole-body ringing. A temporal shift had just happened, a crack in time had shifted. Something was wrong, Haruhi was very angry about something and she could feel it. But what could have happened so suddenly, until now everything had been very quiet. Her gut screamed that something was wrong, she had to speak to Kyon and figure out what had happened. If it wasn't so bad, they could fix it, but if not, they would have a lot of work on their hands. She would have to speak to her fellow teammates and check on the timelines. To see if everything was in place and how bad the situation was.

"Miss Suzumiya is very angry, but the club hasn't started yet. I wonder what could be wrong" she muttered. She had a bad feeling in her stomach and something didn't feel right. She would have to talk to Kyon about this later and figure out just what had gone wrong, hopefully nothing serious had happened and she was just overthinking things too much.

Itsuki gripped his fists, his whole body shaking. Leaning against a wall as he tried to catch his breath. Sensing something was terribly wrong, what was worse he knew why. He knew the risks by becoming involved with Kyon, but he hadn't cared and followed his feelings. Now he was paying the risks for it by upsetting god, afraid of what the consequences would be. He knew Yuki would sense it too and she would get in contact with them about the situation. But he was not going to give up Kyon, he knew it was selfish, but he didn't want to let him go. Just wanting one thing to himself, even if it angered god.

Kyon sat in silence at the club room table, not knowing where Haruhi had skulked off to and sulk and he didn't care less. You couldn't help who you fell in love with and she wasn't the one he had feelings for. Unrequited love was just something she would have to deal with. Gripping the cup of tea in his hands, he stared into the cup silently trying to figure out his feelings on the situation. Things had been going so well, then Haruhi had to make things difficult and unable to let things go. God, he wished it would all just go away.

The club room then opened abruptly to which he frowned, expecting it to be Haruhi coming back to chew him out about his new relationship. Sometimes he wondered if she had any free time at all, needing to get her own life away from this club. However, upon looking up he was pleasantly surprised to see his boyfriend in the doorway. Itsuki was standing in the doorway, looking worried and impatient. Glad to see the face of his lover but worried about the situation they were now in. Blaming himself for being so careless and selfish for going after Kyon.

Kyon sighed, knowing why he was in such a rush. Haruhi's mood had obviously caused some kind of damage to their reality with her little sulking session. "How bad is it?" he asked in displeasure. Just when he had hoped to put her out of his mind. But he was none the less happy to see his boyfriend again, just looking at his angelic face brought him so much happiness he couldn't really put it into words. But given who he was dating, a lot of surprises and drama were bound to show up in the near future.

Itsuki rubbed his eyes wearily, sighing too but even heavier than Kyon. Things hadn't been as bad as they feared, but she had certainly given them a scare. "Her little outburst caused a crack in the dimensions, but luckily nothing too serious. Hopefully if she stays calm for a while it should heal quickly". She definitely knew how to keep people busy with problems, but if she could give them a break every now and again, he would feel very relieved.

Kyon frowned, he wasn't going to apologize for dating Itsuki. He wasn't going to apologize for following the whims of a selfish, obnoxious and manipulative girl who hated being said no to. He had experienced plenty of heartbreak and rejection in the past, but he dealt with it just fine. So why couldn't she learn to do the same, accept that he would never look at her that way and move on. There were plenty of other guys she could date instead. "So, what? God gets dumped and suddenly she's got the right to punish everyone because things aren't going the way she wants?" he huffed.

Itsuki frowned, knowing how frustrating this was for Kyon but he had a duty despite his attachment to the latter. "Unfortunately, Haruhi is no ordinary girl. Given she's a teenage girl her powers are rather wild and uncontrollable" he confessed. Her powers seemed to be connected to her mental and emotional state, meaning her interests would be quite sporadic. Given the fact that her first crush had rejected her despite her long term feelings, she wouldn't get over this too easily. But hopefully she would find someone new eventually.

Kyon clicked his teeth defiantly, he was so sick of hearing this already. Haruhi, Haruhi, Haruhi, she was the worlds most spoiled person, literally a deity. "She can't control everything! Not everyone wants to kiss her ass and obey her!" he growled. There were times in the past when he considered her cute, but he could not feel romantic affections for her. Their relationship was way too much like a brother and sister, he couldn't feel romantic feelings for her.

Itsuki sensed the hurt in Kyon's tone, knowing he was frustrated about the situation. Feeling guilty for throwing all of this onto him, neither had asked to be in this relationship. But they had known the consequences of what would happen when they became involved. Knowing that the latter really cared about him and was trying to be a loyal lover. He then approached Kyon silently and wrapped his arms around him protectively. Sensing him tense up and then relax into his embrace, his heart filling with pain. "Gomen Kyon, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I love you, but I can't deny my duties because of my relations with you" he apologized.

Kyon leaned against his chest quietly, sensing Itsuki's heartbeat in his chest. Fast and frightened, sensing that Itsuki was just as stressed as he was about all of this. He gripped Itsuki's arm supportively, hoping to ease his troubles, burying against his warm body. "You'd better make it up to me later" he groaned. They had both had a long morning leaving them both exhausted, emotionally and mentally. Both of them would need plenty of rest and relaxation after all of this mess.

Itsuki chuckled in amusement, though Haruhi was a wild case of unpredictability, Kyon was just as capable of being immature as well though he as probably unaware of it himself. But he found that endearing about him and would happily indulge. He felt like the luckiest person in the world sometimes, knowing his own little romance story was falling into place, even at the risk of angering god.

Kyon and Itsuki sat outside quietly, wanting to enjoy the sun and get out of the club-room. Given Haruhi's sulk had ended up with her cancelling the club for today, it meant they had plenty of free time for today. They had opted to get some drinks and a couple of snacks to tide them over for the morning. They had a lot to talk about and had been through a lot lately, so they deserved the break. No doubt the other club members would go looking for Haruhi or be sitting in the club room patiently.

Kyon had no idea of why the club hadn't fallen apart yet, Yuki had no reason to remain, aside from being able to collect data on Haruhi by observing her. She was part of the book club and spent most of the club activities reading and minding her own business. Though she was indeed one of the most powerful members, she tended to remain neutral. He wondered how she found her own way to cope with half of the crap she did because of her job.

Mikuru would become the bait of Haruhi's vented anger, given she liked to harass Mikuru on nearly a daily basis. So, god knows what she would do now knowing Kyon was in a relationship with someone. No doubt Mikuru would become a suspect and the possible outlet for her jealousy. If she knew that Kyon was dating Itsuki, Haruhi would definitely act strangely about it. Shock and confusion obviously, but personal questions on whether he was gay or not. Despite his obvious attraction to female's with ponytails for one thing.

But there was no simple answer for that, Kyon wasn't gay but he wasn't straight either. Gender had never been an issue for him when it came to relationships, but he wasn't attracted to just anyone. Itsuki was the first guy he had ever met that he had feelings for. He had a crush on Mikuru obviously but was unable to enter a relationship with her despite their mutual feelings. Nagato was indeed cute but they simply shared platonic feelings for one another, nothing romantic between them.

"Say Kyon, I was thinking. Since you have harboured romantic attraction to miss Asahina, miss Asakura and now me. Am I correct to assume you are bisexual in nature?" Itsuki asked curiously. He had never thought that Kyon was the type of person who was attracted to men, not that he minded. He didn't judge people on the way they chose to live their lives or whom they felt affections for. He was just curious to whether or not he was the first boy that Kyon had ever been in love with.

Kyon blushed, he had never really felt attracted to any of the other guys in his class or his male friends. Itsuki had been the first person to earn his affections for the same gender, which was awkward for him to admit. "I… I don't know. You're the first guy…. this… this is new for me" he confessed nervously. As well as Haruhi, he knew how a lot of society looked towards people like them. Treating same sex couples with acceptance or isolation, you could never predict what reaction you would get from someone.

Itsuki hummed, he had to admit being the guy to win Kyon's love felt rather special. Especially if he hadn't had a crush on any other guy until now. It was possible given they were teens that Kyon was still working things out. He then smiled warmly "I see, well I'm very happy to be that special to you". He had never really had the time for a relationship with another person because of his job, but he was indeed happy to have such a convenient relationship. They would have no secrets or lies, given Kyon knew all about his work.

Kyon shifted, it felt awkward to admit such a personal part of himself yet very relieving to talk about. But he didn't want to be the only one to share such personal secrets "So what about you? Your awfully comfortable about this" he asked abruptly. He didn't seem flustered or nervous about being in a same sex relationship. He was always so chill about everything, nothing seemed to bother him whatsoever. Making him wonder if Itsuki had ever been in a relationship with another guy before now.

Itsuki stared at him in surprise, then a warm smile came across his face. "In all honesty you're the first guy I've ever dated too. But I've always had a strong attraction to both men and women. But I didn't think high school was the best place to pursue a same sex relationship. But you affected me in such a strong way that I couldn't deny a relationship with you. Now I'm so content with our current relationship I don't want to let you go". Kyon was abrupt, sarcastic, indifferent yet empathetic. He wasn't a jerk, but he was generally a guy who kept to himself but was friendly. He was always revealing something new, making himself appear hard to predict and yet so easy to read. So complicated and yet so much fun.

Kyon blushed, until now he had just seen himself as an ordinary guy. So, it was rather a surprise to have someone think so highly of him and risk their job just to date him. he couldn't help but feel a little flattered at the fact Itsuki saw him in such a high status. He averted his gaze awkwardly, gripping the cup in his hands for comfort. Not really knowing what to say about such a gesture "I guess I should take it as a serious compliment that your disobeying god to be with me" he muttered. He had never really been popular with either gender until now. But here he was in this situation, he couldn't say his life was ever drama free that was for sure.

Itsuki smiled fondly at him, it often saddened him that Kyon couldn't see what an amazing person he was. Let alone why people like Mikuru, himself or Haruhi would be attracted to him. But that just made him even more endearing, causing him to fall for him harder. He reached out his hand slowly, intertwining his fingers affectionately with Kyon. Wanting to chase away every doubt and every fear that lay in his heart. "You know, you're adorable when you get embarrassed. I could eat you up" he teased.

Kyon pouted, getting the feeling that from now on teasing like this would become popular now that they were an item. However, compared to how irate Haruhi made him, Itsuki's mind games tended to be more playful and innocent than really trying to get under his skin. "So, what does this mean for us now? I mean we've been involved for a couple of months now. Haruhi is obviously suspicious of who it is and will get jealous, so how are we going to keep this under wraps?" he asked in hesitation. Haruhi wasn't stupid, it was only so long before she found out the truth of why she had been rejected.

Itsuki sighed heavily, a thoughtful expression on his face "Well we will have to be more careful about it at school around Haruhi. But outside of school we can carry on as usual I suppose". They could meet each other outside of school and continue on with their hobbies and meetups. They could walk to school back and forth; study dates and regular dates like at Christmas. They could say at one another's homes at weekends etc, just being able to make time for one another. But it would be worth it, relationships were hard work after all.

Kyon nodded, they would indeed carry on as usual but given how nosy Haruhi was and club activities. It would be hard to keep things hidden around her, especially given her strong feelings for him. Given how jealous she would get trying to figure out whom he was dating. But he somehow had the feeling they would be ok despite it all. He was good at avoiding subjects and getting her to drop things with enough persuasion, but that would only work for so long. But it was a start.

Haruhi sat sulkily on the roof, her eyes red from crying and filled with pain and frustration. Feeling like an idiot for allowing herself to develop such stupid feelings and lose sight of what was important, the club. Somehow, she had let that moron Kyon get under her skin. Kyon had always been the kind of guy who kept to himself, often distracted and disconnected from the world around him. How similar he was to Nagato at times was rather terrifying indeed. There was no way she would allow him to quit the club, but she knew that his focus would also be elsewhere from now on.

Wondering what girl had been so lucky to have earned Kyon's affections, the fond smile he had made was one she had never seen before. She had to be pretty awesome as a person to be able to get such a reaction out of him. Yuki spent her time with a nose in a book, seemed very apathetic and indifferent towards her classmates. She spent a lot of time with Kyon but when they did, there was little to no chemistry between them. Sometimes she didn't wonder that Nagato was asexual as well as aromantic

He had been rather off ever since she confessed to him, going out of his way to avoid the subject and her in general. During the festive season she had asked Kyon to hang out with her, but he had never gotten back to her, while he usually was so compliant. Ever since he met this new person, he had been different. His mind hadn't been focused on the club and obviously elsewhere.

Mikuru had an obvious crush on Kyon and the feeling was mutual. She wasn't stupid, she had seen the way they looked at each other and how Mikuru always went to Kyon for help. How he got turned on by her in costumes and the look he gave when she tried to put her hair in a ponytail. Had they started seeing each other in secret? How long had they been involved? Had they had sex yet? Just how had they gotten together and why had they kept it from one another? She felt her eyes stinging, feeling betrayed and angry. She had made it so obvious that she liked Kyon so how could he go and date someone else? Did he really think that he could find a more interesting girl than her?

She always asked him to hang out with her when it came the club, she always tried to get paired up with him to find things to do with the club. She made sure that he worked hard and that he never slacked off. She knew she was bitchy sometimes, but she couldn't help it. She just got so frustrated at the fact he couldn't see how much she cared. When was the last time she gave a guy the time of day, god damn it?! "Idiot Kyon, you idiot, idiot, stupid jerk" she muttered sulkily. Sure, go ahead and be happy with his new dumb more girlfriend with a ponytail. What did she care? A relationship obviously meant more to him than the club.

Her stomach and throat hurt from crying and she was hungry, her eyes and face were a mess. She felt like crap and she didn't want to go back to class, why not just spend the day in the nurse's office and get off school? Anything to avoid people seeing how awful she looked. Feelings of love were simply a lapse in judgment, right? Like a mental illness, allowing the chemicals in her brain to feel something for another human being. Distracting herself from what was important and believing such trivial and temporary feelings could mean something. Why the hell would she ever care about stupid things like relationships or dates? When did she have the time to waste on such matters? She had better ways to spend her time than mooning over one person.

She rested her head on her knees wearily, wishing time would just stop and everything would just disappear. Wanting to be alone with her thoughts, hating every couple that was happy. Wanting them to be as miserable as she was. Why was she the only one that had to feel this way? There were plenty of her classmates who had relationships, so why couldn't she get the guy she wanted too? It wasn't fair.
