23rd sigh

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(... It's odd. Definitely odd. Here I am, performing the same menial tasks she always assigns me, yet... The anger, the frustration, the need to shout "Dammit Haruhi, why don't you get someone else to do your dirty work!?" isn't there. On the one hand, it's somewhat nice not feeling all the usual stress, maybe I've finally just resigned myself... On the other hand, I pretty much resigned myself a while back and it really didn't help much. ... Darn it, why am I over-thinking this? Well, back to work.)

[Today, you may find Kyon either:

A) Out and about town before Haruhi gives him some stupid task.
B) Out and about handling the usual stupid tasks Haruhi gives him.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ah, I see.

(I suppose that would explain the lack of annoyance at Haruhi...)

Sure, why not?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[She gives him some of her cucpcakes which she'd been lugging in a sack.]

So, did you get a case of the dumb or not?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Perhaps? Haruhi's requests, while just as stupid as always seem significantly less frustrating today.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it to me! Good thing I'm here to help you then.

[She goes back to helping Kyon.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

So uh... Have you been thinking about... Well, y'know?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

O... of course I have.

[She frowns at Kyon, having learned the WORST STUFF from Sasaki.]

She said this was all a courtship ritual built around having, um... children. Is that true?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Wait, what? Who said that?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Sasaki, of course. You're her friend, right?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ah, right. Figures that'd be her view on the topic. Anyway, while it can lead to that, it's not the kind of thing you leap right into? Generally, people can be in a relationship for years before even considering the question of children.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess you've got a point. I don't really know where babies come from anyway, I'm still waiting for Tiffany to tell me.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

You never learnt where babies come from?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

It's not really important, is it? I'm a Flame Haze and I keep the balance between worlds.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I guess not?

(At the very least, I know I'd rather not explain it myself.)

Anyway, other than what Sasaki told you, do you have any concerns?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Not really! Should I have some?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

None that I can think of...

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[She goes back to helping Kyon move stuff around for Haruhi.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Hm? Okay?

(Is that an "Okay, That's one question solved. I'll continue thinking." or an "Okay! That's sealed the deal!")

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

What? Let's get this done so we can go get something to eat. I think it's my turn anyway.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, sounds good to me.

[And so, they go ahead and finish taking whatever Haruhi's thing is to wherever it was she wanted it then...]

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

All right then. Let's get some food now. Where do you want to go today?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, Mayfield isn't exactly renowned for it's amazing variety, so I suppose it's probably between either the Neutron Diner or the Malt Shop again?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

How about the malt shop, I don't like the diner.

[Because she works there most likely.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

The Malt Shop is good with me.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[She goes there, gets herself a chocolate malt, then asks Kyon a very blunt question. You can thank Souji for this later.]

So, Kyon, are you trying to take all my clothes off or something? Souji said if you try that I should stop you and then he'll come over and kill you or something.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Halfway through a sip of his own drink, Kyon briefly splutters, getting some milkshake all over the table. He begins to mop up with a napkin as he replies.]

I-I wasn't planning on it, no. I mean, it's one of those things that you can expect in a relationship eventually but definitely not any time soon... I mean, it'd have to be at a time when we'd both be cofortable going that far. ... And once Tiffany has actually explained sex to you.
