godbent | 7th: The Catharsis of Haruhi Suzumiya

[So yesterday afternoon things went bad. Things went very bad just as soon as things were looking up. But... as soon as she shut the book, Haruhi found she wasn't mad anymore. She just had a good cry for a while and then settled in for doing nothing for the rest of the night. She even got to sleep early It's not so much that she wasn't upset as much as... she suddenly felt too tried to possible care about anything like that. Too tired to care about anything. So she slept and hung out at home and was so confused that she didn't know how to do anything. ~~Housemates can jack in here if they feel like it~~ But anyway, the point is...

She decided not to feel bad.

She ignored the sinking feeling she felt in her gut all the way to when she got up and started going through the motions the next morning. Motions which included dragging Winry out to the shops earlier. And presumably talking to her more before and/or after it. The point is, she fills up her morning with the other girl which... leads us to the afternoon.]

[In a much happier voice than anyone is probably expecting:] Kurt, Tacihi, Leon, Mikage, Uriko, [because she doesn't know she's gone yet] Yoohoo, Anne- status reports?

[Naoki she knows what's up. Keiichi... just no. Hanyuu and Rena are with Keiichi. Minako is with her twin. No need to ask about any of them]

...SOS-Brigade! We didn't have one today and we won't have our customary Saturday lunch either, but starting next week, meetings are on again! Be sure to show up, and being late will result in a harsh penalty! No mistakes, got it?! The snow's been melting left and right already, and today is even hotter than all the other days so far, right?! So pretty soon it's going to be spring, and we've got lots of important things to do in spring! And for that matter, anyone else who has a mystery or something for us to deal with who who plans to in the future, drop us a line! You can't miss us!

Over and out!

[And then, well, there's one more message she needs to address now. She's (finally) hanging out in her Brigade room if anyone for some reason will be there in the afternoon and early evening to bump into her there]

...Hey.

... wife? [Since when was Mikage married?]

Yeah. [...] Well, boyfriend, technically.

... Mikage is gay? [Really? He never struck him as the type. Especially with some of the stuff they got up to when they were in Haruhi's body.]

What, you never noticed? [She thought it was more obvious than a thousand suns. But then she considers a moment and shrugs. The revelation that Naoki is The Gay One is still hitting her.]

I dunno anymore, I think he's just somewhere between bi and just too damned open about everything. Either way, he's got a temperamental boyfriend.

... huh. Go figure.

[What does he even do with this information now? Well, probably not ask Mikage to be his wingman now.]

Yeah, I know, it's a little weird.

It's not weird, just different. [And there's nothing wrong with that, sisbro.]

Yeah, whatever. Same difference.

It's not the same.

Why not? Different is just a non-specific word for something that's out of the ordinary. A more crude way to say out of the ordinary is "weird." So if anything, it's the same thing just maybe more rude.

[...]

Besides, the weird thing isn't him being gay or whatever he is, it's his personality.

[... it still sounds insulting, but yeah. Whatever.]

There's nothing wrong with his personality! He has a great sense of humor.

I bet if you asked him what his moment of birth was like, assuming he remembered it, he would tell you.

So? If he could remember something like that, it would be amazing! Why would he not talk about it?

Because that's probably the most painful and traumatizing part of anyone's life. It was a point! A comparison!

And one of the most amazing too!

That's like saying someone should talk about when they died. And who wants to do that?

I've never died before, so I wouldn't know.

...Same, but I'm not about to go ask people what it was like!

Neither would I, but if they want to talk about it... [Would that be so bad?]

[...then it might be fascinating and she would love to hear it but]

...That's still weird!

... well anyway, we're all kind of weird in the Brigade anyway. Well, I mean, everyone else.

[Kurt is totally normal.]

What are you talking about? You're totally weird too, it's why you're fun!

No way, I'm the only normal one there! I'm totally the straight man, you know.

No way! Your personality doesn't even befit a straight man.

Ah, you just don't know me very well, yeah? My friend Scott is such a jokester and troublemaker. I'm always having to pull him out of his crazy hijinks.
