ゆきときょん (Rei and Parisu)

[Reipuru]

Sitting on the collapsible chair next to the window, Nagato flipped through the pages of 1 Litre no Namida. She had been alone most of the day, the rest of the SOS Brigade hardly showing up except during lunch and after lessons, Nagato sat alone for most of that period. At one point, observing day by day was satisfying, and still is, but the occasional possibility that Asakura could be right, action prompting Suzumiya into acting might be a logical choice. She turned the page, her mind working quickly already dismissing the idea.

 

[Parisu-kun]

Kyon was already fed up with the latest happening being a pawn in Haruhi's crazy schemes was awfully tiring physically and mentally. He was walking up the steps to the clubroom and thinking about the latest of the phenomena he had witnessed and how Nagato saved him from Asahina-san's Mikkuru Biimu. Nagato might have been usually a cold person yet she was very dependable and not really cold as much as emotionless. Or so he thought. Still wondering about the time when he told her he was not a glasses type and from there she had not been wearing them. His mind seemed to be filled with thoughts of Nagato when he entered the SOS brigade room and saw her sitting by the window book in hand as usual.

"Oi Nagato..."

He said as he took his usual place on a chair by the table.

 

[Reipuru]

"Oh, Hello." She said plainly, not looking up from her book. She had been feeling strange lately around Kyon, like how she thought was changing. She had feeling this might be a program adjustment something dictating the way she reacted to stimulus, the thing that made her so calculating and Asakura so charismatic. Perhaps she had done it to herself without thinking to hard, having come to a logical conclusion that more closeness to Kyon would mean more influence to a situation. Thinking this she did something she'd usually never do. She got up with her book and sat next to Kyon, still reading, but next to him.

 

[Parisu-kun]

Kyon was surprised. Yet he was feeling strangely happy with being close to Nagato, he was still thankful to her for having saved his butt so many times before.

"Ah Nagato. It feels a good time as any to tell you that I owe you a lot. So I wanted to give you a little something."

Kyon looked into his book bag and handed her a small diary book.

"I wonder that since you like to read so much maybe you could write in here. Uhmm actually I am sure this kind of space would be filled soon with all the things that you know... your duty is to observe. But maybe you will write things about that which you like observing."

He said giving her an honest smile. Kind of uncharacteristically for his sarcastic self but he felt quite happy around Nagato. Mostly because she had been keeping him safe for so many times.

 

[Reipuru]

"Oh, Thank you." She looked at him for a moment, having trouble deciding what to do, social conventions usually weren't a thing she processed and the variables of the situation seemed even more random. So slowly she takes the diary and actually smiles at him softly before setting down her book to look at the clean pages.

"Thank you... I... like it." She said as she flipped through all of the pages before closing it. Carefully, she scooted her chair closer, having only evaluated the situation a few steps ahead she wasn't even sure of what she was hoping to accomplish with this.

 

[Parisu-kun]

Kyon was glad he liked it his smile got wider and he said:

"You're welcome. I actually had a hard time picking a present. But it seemed fitting to you."

Haruhi was not coming to the club today she was scouting film locations for the cultural festival movie. and Asahina-san was busy with her friends. And Koizumi had a mission on closed space. seemingly this was a good time to spend talking to Nagato.

"Well then I am sure you already know the circumstances. So would you like to hang out for a while? I will make you some tea."

 

[Reipuru]

"Ah, thank you." She nods to him, instead of going back to her book she watched him prepare the tea, for some reason she felt distracted by him, it was probably another aspect of the new programming but nevertheless inconvenient but fulfilling. She felt the same sensations being with Kyon she did when reading a "unique" story.

She folded her hands in her lap waiting, trying to familiarize herself with her new settings she seemed rather distracted as Kyon prepared tea for the two of them, her hands clutching the hem of her uniform's skirt.

 

[Parisu-kun]

Kyon could see her behavior. It was odd for her to act nervous. But being the observant man he was he could tell something was bothering her. Being a man he however couldn't quite point what it was though anyone looking at the both of them would be able to tell right away. He served her tea and sipped on his own. After a few moments had passed she still seemed uneasy.

"Nagato. Would you like to go out somewhere? I think you might need some distraction you seem a bit distracted and well maybe you have been overworking?"

 

[Reipuru]

Nagato sipped more of her tea, setting down the cup gently. "I suppose so, but I assure you it's impossible for me to "overwork" as you say." She felt like she should mask the fact she wanted to go, but instead ended up nodding and and closing her book, tucking it under her arm before standing up. "Let's go." She says bluntly, her usual way of doing things, standing perfectly still as she waited for Kyon, even though she was feeling anxious, something new to her.

"Do you have a location predetermined Kyon?" She starts to shift her weight from leg to leg, standing by the door in her cardigan.

 

[Parisu-kun]

"Ahh youre right.... Maybe you should pick where to go first?"

Kyon said as he held the door open for her and thought (I just hope she doesnt pick somewhere strange... But then again Nagato I dont know if Nagato knows everythin about everything or is just easily amused and doesnt show it.)

The both of them picked their shoes and walked out of the school when they were at the school gates he asked her. "So you picked a place? Or maybe I should pick one first?"
