Prompt: 18) Untouchable.

Ever since her arrival, rumours had been spreading around the school of Mikuru Asahina, the "natural beauty". They varied in whether they were harmless little theories or vicious, tearing "secrets", and were all things that had stirred up after her first term there.
Her first term in which she turned down at least twenty date requests.
Mikuru Asahina was officially labelled as "untouchable", and became near-famous throughout the students as the only girl who'd been able to be asked out that many times, and refuse each and every one. Jealous girls started to rumour that she was a lesbian, or that she only played the gorgeous, innocent girl to lure in boys and break their hearts out of some kind of sick amusement -- some even labelled her "The Temptress".
But she didn't let any of that affect her. She still declined every date she was offered, politely let down every boy who confessed to her, and never ever showed any kind of attraction towards anyone.
Admittedly, it started to change when she met Kyon.
She really couldn't help it; he was honest, kind and protective, and he wasn't just some pervert trying to be able to say that he'd hit the beautiful, untouchable Mikuru Asahina. He actually spoke to her that made her feel like he actually cared about her as a person; that he didn't just talk to her because of her physical attributes.
She couldn't be involved in relationships of a highly personal or romantic nature on this timeplane. It was something that had been placed strongly on her by the Organisation, and she'd adapted to being able to follow it perfectly. But she was about ready to break that rule. For Kyon.
And then Haruhi Suzumiya was there, so much more than before.
So she avoided him. Because Haruhi Suzumiya loved him, and he loved Haruhi Suzumiya. And not only did she not want to endanger Kyon's potential happiness, their potential relationship, and the world, but--
It hurt. She couldn't stand to be around him, because it hurt, to think that the only boy she could have ever thought would make her fall so in love that she would disobey her direct orders was being snatched away by the girl that had already taken everything from her.
It was alright. She was used to it, after all.
Itsuki Koizumi brought it up one day, when they were the only two left in the clubroom. He'd noticed the way she looked at Kyon, just like she'd noticed the way he looked at Haruhi Suzumiya. He understood that, even though she'd been aware of her feelings long before the two grew closer to each other, it was out of duty that she hadn't acted on her affections. Offhandedly, he asked her if being "untouchable" bothered her; she said it didn't, but that it didn't really matter much anyway. The Organisation wasn't too strict on her having a relationship outside of Haruhi Suzumiya's surrounding circle now, and she didn't care about the title enough to accept just any boy's proposal -- she could have it either way, really.
He'd been silent for a while, and finally, he sipped his tea, leant across the clubroom table and asked the untouchable Mikuru Asahina out on a date.
She didn't know why, but she said yes.
Suddenly, not only did the rumours and vicious lies stop, but Mikuru Asahina and Itsuki Koizumi were the second-most famous couple in the school.
They fell just behind Haruhi Suzumiya and Kyon, of course.
