A/N – thank you for all the reviews, it's what inspired me to write this chapter so quickly, even though I should be working on other fics…

Besides, I couldn't leave you all wondering about poor Koizumi, could I?

The following week was difficult. Haruhi had taken one look at Koizumi the morning they awoke on their camping trip, and declared it was time to go home.

Each time Kyon had tried to start a conversation, Koizumi would make an excuse and leave.

Kyon felt awful. It was only now that he realized how much he missed their pointless checkers and Othello games, even if he did always win.

It was unnerving; the way Koizumi's perfect smile would fade away when he thought nobody was looking.

"Koizumi-" Kyon tried to start a conversation after Club activities had finished for the day.

"Ah, sorry, Kyon-kun, I've got to head home, important things to attend to!" he had said cheerfully, and walked off quickly.

Eventually, Kyon decided that enough was enough.

"Haruhi," he said gruffly, standing next to her desk. She glanced at him, a disinterested look in her large brown eyes.

"Yes?" she said haughtily.

"Where does Koizumi live?" he asked, deciding that the best way to go about this was to get straight to the point.

She surveyed him. "Not telling~" she announced in a singsong voice. His face took on a shocked expression.

"What – why?" he stammered out.

"Because he doesn't want to see you," she said simply. "Even I can work that out. Talk to Mikuru-chan, maybe she'll talk to him for you."

"Asahina…san?" he repeated dumbly. He remembered all the times she had mentioned seeing Koizumi after school, heading to the cinema or to the shopping center, and felt like an idiot for not thinking of her sooner.

He had to wait until lunch break to find her, but as soon as the bell rang, he set off for the part of the school he knew second-years occupied. It wasn't difficult to find her, all he had to do was look out for Tsuruya's green hair and her loud laughter, and he had found Mikuru.

"Asahina-san!" he called out, not realizing how out of place he must look as a first year, seeking the attention of the second year heart throb. Thinking this, he had a sudden thought – hadn't he heard girls talking about Koizumi? Not only from his class, but in the cafeteria as well… Could it be possible that Koizumi was the most sought after, attractive member of his year? It would make his and Mikuru's friendship make much more sense – they had the fact that both had unwanted attention in common.

There was also the fact that all the girls seemed to adore Mikuru, and the guys in Kyon's year got along with Koizumi fairly well.

Kyon felt a blush rising in his cheeks – he was thinking about Koizumi on the same level he had thought about Mikuru! Did admitting that Koizumi was probably the king of their year level mean he himself thought him attractive?

Of course you do…you can't even try to deny it. Or would you like me to remind you of what effect he has had on you previously? His brain asked him. He decided to just accept that he was attracted to Koizumi – lest his mind let his body rediscover exactly what it thought of the other boy.

"Asahina-san!" he said again, catching her attention this time.

"Ah, Kyon-kun?" she asked in surprise. "What are you doing here – is something wrong?" she asked, her eyes going wide.

"No, not exactly…can I speak to you?" he asked, looking around uncertainly.

"Oh – of course!" she said, sliding out of her chair and following him into the hallway.

"What is it?"

"Well, it's uh…Koizumi. He's not talking to me…" he started awkwardly.

"Oh…yes, he did mention something…" she mumbled, looking down. "W-why are you talking to me about this?"

"Well…you two seem to have some kind of friendship…and I was hoping you could convince him to stop ignoring me…" he said, feebly.

"I…I can try, but I can't guarantee anything…" she told him. "Perhaps if you visited his apartment, it would be more difficult for him to avoid you?" she suggested.

"Er…where does he live?" Kyon asked her, feeling rather pathetic.

Mikuru smiled, and began giving him directions to the other boys' house.

* * * * *

And so it was that Kyon found himself banging on the door in an apartment block he'd never even seen before, for reasons unfathomable to even him.

"Koizumi! Open up, I know you're in there!" Kyon said loudly, even though he had no idea whether the Esper had gone out for the day, or anything like that.

He stood there for what felt like hours, but in reality was probably only ten minutes, before an irritable Koizumi opened the door.

"Stop that banging, you're going to break my door, and what would my landlord say?" he asked, a hard tone to his voice.

"I don't care what your landlord has to say, I'm going to stand out here until you decide to talk to me!" he informed Koizumi.

Koizumi could see the serious look in his eyes, and nodded, stepping aside to allow his visitor inside.

Kyon walked in apprehensively, taking note of how neat the place seemed at first, but on closer inspection, it wasn't so immaculate.

"So, was there something I could help you with?" Koizumi asked, closing the door behind him.

"Yes, there is!" Kyon announced, rounding on Koizumi. "What the hell are you playing at? First there was that weird photo shoot thing, then the video! Whose idea was that, really? Because I'm fairly certain you were enjoying that more than you let on!" he began to rant. Koizumi sat down on his own couch and let Kyon pace in his living room.

"And then you had to go and kiss me, and I know I said it wouldn't mean anything, but now I don't even know if I want it not to mean anything anymore!" he ran a hand through his hair, and sighed.

"It meant something to you, didn't it, so why are you pushing me away?" he asked, looking at Koizumi again.

"You keep avoiding me, and you refuse to talk to me, what's up with you? How do you know I'm going to reject any possible ideas or feelings you might have for me if you won't even let me talk to you?" he sat down heavily next to Koizumi.

Koizumi stayed silent for a moment, thinking over everything Kyon had told him.

"So…are you willing to try something with me…even though I'm another male?" he asked, skeptically.

Kyon started at the sudden and direct question.

"I-I don't know. I think…yeah, I could try that," he smiled weakly in Koizumi's direction.

Koizumi felt a blush spread across his cheeks.

"Well, that's excellent for me to hear, Kyon-kun!" he said, cheerfully. His entire attitude appeared to have changed.

Koizumi stood up, then leant down to press his lips against Kyon's. "I don't know exactly how we're going to go about this, but we'll figure it out, right?"

"Right…" Kyon echoed, feeling decidedly unsure about his entire decision.

At the precise moment in time, a woman stood outside, smiling as she heard what had just been decided.

Those two always were a good couple… she mused to herself, as she took a cigarette out of a small silver case in her breast pocket.

I'd almost forgotten about that video…I wonder if I can still find it… she mused, starting to walk away.

I like, cigarettes, and that's no gag,

But you'll always be my favourite fag.

You'll always be my favourite fag.

You'll always be my favourite fag…

The mature looking lady stopped and glanced back, hearing a shout of laughter coming from inside the apartment, and grinned again.

My gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend,

I don't really care that you are queer.

She recalled the time Koizumi had stood up for her in the arcade, and felt a pang of longing for such simple times, before shrugging it off and disappearing down the street.

My gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend,

I never feel lonely when you are near…

A/N – Okay. I apologize for ending on such a cheesy ending, but this really felt like the right chapter to end it with. If you haven't already, I recommend listening to 'Gay Boyfriend' by the Hazzards.

Thanks to everyone who's stuck by me throughout this fic, you have my undying gratitude.

Sorry to everyone who wanted to see a bit more lemon, but I started this fic on a light note, and didn't want to make it too heavy or serious.

I am actually writing another fic, centered on Koizumi, which will eventually contain a lot more slash. The first chapter is uploaded, 'An Untold Story'. It may not seem very interesting at first, but it will get better…I hope.

If you do like it, tell me what you think, and I'll get more up as soon as possible. It's been fun writing 'Gay Boyfriend', and perhaps I'll eventually write some kind of sequel or epilogue.

Once again, thanks for reading, and I hope you aren't too disappointed by this chapter.
