OT-kun's Story

--------DAY THREE--------

The ringing of your alarm wakes you up from your precious sleep.  You aren’t sure why you had to get up so early for a moment, but then remember you have work to do.  Oh well, it’s all necessary for the greater goal.  At least you hope it is.  You hop out of bed and…why is there a hole in your shorts again?  Your junk is out on display and you just hope your sister doesn’t come walking in like she has a habit of doing.  You’ve only got so many pairs of good fitting shorts so this needs to stop!

Throwing the shorts away, you quickly do everything you can before you have to leave and once it’s time to head out you grab your bike, which had somehow gotten home even though you forgot to grab it after Nagato’s two nights ago.

“OT-kun, you’re late!” Haruhi said as her greeting, but at least she was wearing a smile.  Of course she’d be here five minutes before the scheduled time.  “That means the penalty for you!”

Haruhi and you head over to a nearby restaurant to have breakfast, which you have to pay for as your ‘penalty.’

“So what exactly do we need to get?” You ask while munching on an egg sandwich.

“We need to get a net and cage for everyone!” She replied.

“That’s it?”

“That’s it.  The nets I can handle fine but I don’t have anything to help me carry five cages easily.”

After breakfast you and Haruhi start walking over to the pet store that’s down the road.  She says they have the stuff there, so you just take her word for it.

“I..I need to go do something real quick,” Haruhi says suddenly.  The store is still a few shops down and Haruhi has a strange look on her face.  “You go on ahead and start picking out what we need.  I’ll…be there in a little bit!”

And with that she scurries off back the way you two came and is soon lost in the crowd.  Huh, that’s strange.  Maybe she needs to take care of something personal.  She can’t be going far though…

Whatever Haruhi’s deal is, it’s probably best to just let her do what she needs to do.  Who knows what she’s up to and how she’d feel if she found out you followed her uninvited.

You finish the walk to the pet store and head inside.  You take a few minutes to walk around and check out the animals to kill time.  The bug stuff is in the back corner and they have more than enough in stock, so there’s no need to hurry with the purchase.  It’s about ten minutes before Haruhi finally arrives in the store with a small bag in hand.

“Did you get the stuff yet?” She asks, still sounding slightly strange.

“No, you have the literature club funds that are going to pay for the stuff,” You reply.  “So, what’s in the bag?”

You point to what she’s holding.

“I…um…it’s just something I noticed earlier and then decided to go back and get,” She said, slightly agitated. “It’s none of your business as a Brigade subordinate, OK?”

She’s now getting slightly angry as she holds the bag behind her back out of your view.

“OK, I get it.  The nets and cages are in the back, so let’s grab them and get out of here.”

You and Haruhi grab the stuff and pay for it.  You then exit the shop, with Haruhi carrying five nets in one hand, the small bag now stuffed in her purse, and a cage in the other hand with you carry two cages under each of your arms.

“You know it’s only 10:30 Haruhi,” You say. “We’ve still got an hour and a half to kill until we meet with the others.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” She replies. “Let’s just walk around the area until it’s close to time, OK?”

You decide to agree and then spend the next hour or so walking around window shopping.  Haruhi seems to have a fascination with anything remotely strange being sold.  Can’t that girl even try to be normal?  Whatever, you’re just glad when it’s time to head to the station.

Ten minutes before noon and, not surprisingly, everyone is there and ready to go.  After a short trip on the train you arrive with the others at the bug hunting destination.

“OK, everyone,” Haruhi begins before the entrance to the forest park. “Make sure to do your best and catch the most cicadas!  Remember, the winner gets to me Brigade leader for a day.  Ready?  Start~!”

Too bad you’re already ready to finish.

Haruhi has already run off into the forest to who knows where.  Asahina-san is timidly making her way in and Koizumi is casually walking to wherever he’s going to catch bugs at.  Nagato is still standing beside you.  It seems she doesn’t know what to do.

You decide to make your way to wherever Haruhi went.  Of course, you have to make sure to catch any cicadas along the way to make it at least look like you’re trying.  Haruhi would probably be mad if you didn’t catch anything.

The forest was unfortunately hotter than you expected it to be and so the bug hunt was proving to be a tiring experience.  These cicadas were more plentiful than you thought but they were also harder to catch than you thought.  Funny how that works.

After catching your fifth hard earned cicada you noticed some rusting to your right.  Sure enough a person popped out from some bushes and luckily for you it was Haruhi.  She seemingly had caught a cicada and was triumphantly holding it up in the air.  She hasn’t even seen you yet, so why show it off to no one but herself?  After placing it inside her cage and looking around, she finally does see you.

“Hey, OT-kun!” She yells. “How’s your hunt going?!”

You slowly make your way over to her.  “I’ve caught five so far.  These things are pretty good at flying away at the last second.”

“Oh come on, they’re not that hard,” Haruhi says with a grin.  “I’ve already got 13 myself!”

Thirteen?!  Holy crap!

You stick with Haruhi for awhile as the two of you compete over the cicadas you find.  Soon Haruhi spots one that you can’t see.

“Got you!” She yells, making a dive for the bug.  She hits the ground and the skirt she was wearing flips up over her back, giving you a sudden tantalizing view of delicious panties…

~rip~

What another glorious…wait, what the heck?  You look down and, much to your surprise, your sergeant has torn through the crotch section of your underwear and pants and is now pointed in Haruhi’s direction.

“What was that noise, OT-kun,” Haruhi says, turning her head to your direction.  Her eyes then grow wide in shock.

“What is the meaning of this!?” She yells, standing up.  “P-put that away!  What are you trying to do, why did that…thing…tear a hole through your clothes like that!  Answer me!”

“Uh...hey, it’s no big deal.  I’m just a teenage boy and I saw your panties when you dove for that bug.  Can’t help it if I get a little excited, right?” You say, trying to make this absurd situation a little comfortable.  Actually, now that you think about it, was that really the best plan of action?

“You saw WHAT?!” She yells.

“I…uh…hey now, you’re the one who dove and exposed what’s under your skirt!  And it’s completely normal for a guy to get like this!”

“Having that tear a hole through your clothes and now pointing at me is completely normal?” She asks.  She’s doesn’t seem too happy.

“Look, I don’t know why this happened but you shouldn’t be angry at me because of it!  If you didn’t go around showing off your body all the time…”

“I do WHAT?!” She yells.  Oops, maybe you went a little too far there.

“I…sorry, I didn’t mean that.  Look, just help me find a way to cover myself up and then we can…”

“You can cover yourself up, OT-kun,” Haruhi states with a scowl.  “All I’m good at as your lowly Brigade leader is exposing myself, aren’t I?!”

And with that statement she runs off.  Crap.  These few days you’ve seen Haruhi behave in some unusual ways and also experienced some unusual things.  And it’s all started once you rejected her idea for the bike race.  Why does it have to be like this?  Was trying to score with this girl really too much to ask?  You’ve been stuck in this loop for so long now, with no end in sight.  What is a guy supposed to do?

You make your way back to the starting point and sure enough everyone else is gathered there.  Haruhi seems to be in mid-speech.

“…tomorrow I’ve got plans so I’ll give everyone a call in the morning.  Until then, goodbye.”  And Haruhi then headed for the train station.  The other three all glanced at you, showed some surprise at what you’re exposing, and then walked over to you.

“I’m not sure what happened, or why you are so revealed right now, but I must insist that whatever you do you fix this situation as soon as you can,” Koizumi says, a look of apprehension on his face.

“Suzumiya-san is really angry at you, at least that’s what it seems like.  She didn’t say anything about you, but the fact that she ignored you not being here yet when she started talking was a bad sign,” Asahina-san says, trembling ever so slightly.

“I fear that Suzumiya-san is greatly angered at the turn of events brought about by you.  The stability of this planet is now in jeopardy and it is undoubtedly you who must rectify the situation,” Nagato says.

“Well, that’s all nice and dandy but I’ve got my junk swinging in the wind because it somehow has the magical power to break through clothing!” You yell.  This is starting to make you mad again.

Koizumi and Asahina-san have looks of surprise on their faces, while Nagato still stares up at you.

“I believe…I may be the one to blame for that,” Nagato says.

“You…what?” You ask.

“The other night, you were given some special properties in the alternate reality and somehow those properties carried over to the real world.  I believe one of those properties was the…enhancement…to your reproductive system.” She explains.  “To help put it simply:  It gets really hard, really fast.”

You, Koizumi, and Asahina-san all stare at Nagato in shock.

“Wait…OT-kun…” Asahina-san suddenly says.  “What…did…did you do something with Yuki?”

Oh crap.

“I…uh…you see…” You stutter.

“He helped me with some personal observation and data gathering,” Nagato says.

Koizumi starts staring at you angrily and Asahina-san seems to understand what this all really means.

“OT-kun…I can’t believe…” Asahina-san starts crying and runs off.

Koizumi’s cell suddenly rings and after a brief talk he hangs up.

“I’ve got to do my job now, probably because of you.  Just figure out what you’re going to do tomorrow and stop messing things up!” He says angrily before running after Asahina-san.

Nagato simply looks up at you.  This alien has no idea, or maybe she does but doesn’t care.  She’s just here to ‘observe,’ right?  Whatever.

You make your way home, not caring at all the gawkers watching you pass by.  Once home, you head upstairs and flop into bed.  So, you have to figure out how to make everything better, huh?  Oh well, might as well leave that for tomorrow then.
