Wow, nice shoulders, Kyouya. (I need to check this, now I have my centimeters-mind on, but have you ever noticed how almost all those guys are *really* tall? Kyouya is actually way up there...which surprised me.)

I have to say, I do *not* ship Kyouya/Haruhi, though I understand it. (This may be a product of being a reader of the manga first. Just a different dynamic, since the series is much more compact.) But I definitely love that guy.

I think the question of the tropes there is a highly interesting one, and needs be examined closer. In pursuit of this, I will obviously need to reread/rewatch it again soon. ^_^

Kaoru...awww. I like him, too.
