History HoYay / HaruhiSuzumiya

** One chapter of the HaruhiChan manga is based on "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody". When Kyon and Mikuru are forced to sleep in Yuki's house, Mikuru has to borrow Yuki's pajamas, but leaves a few buttons undone due to differences in size. The last panel shows Yuki [[DistractedByTheSexy staring at Mikuru's cleavage]].

** The official Gag-Series ''The Melancholy of {{Haruhi-chan}}'' parodied this: for a scavenger hunt, Kyon shall find a "Wall of Heart". His solution: grabbing Itsuki and telling him he loves him! Cue to a serious ArtShift for Itsuki and a COMPLETE BREAKDOWN for Haruhi! She even doesn't hear Kyon's explanation anymore, where now the "Wall of Heart" is...

** As well as in Endless Eight [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvHxtkKVDBA putting his arm around his shoulder]] getting really close to him and telling him he should say "I love you." to Haruhi but taken out of context it sounds more like he's saying "I love you" to Kyon.

** In ''The Vanishment of Nakago-chan'', a SpinOff manga of the world where ''Vanishment'' was permanent; Asakura is a lot saner; and trying her best to help Yuki and Kyon be together. But she is a [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy little bit jealous]] although she hides it well. ...she's not interested in Kyon.

*** A later chapter takes this [[UpToEleven even further]]. It begins with Future Mikuru entering the clubroom and telling Yuki she has to leave, making her very disapointed. Upon noticing this, Mikuru insists on her staying and eventually ends up dressing in her maid outfit and offering her tea. Kyon's eventual arrival sparks an argument between the two on whether Mikuru was better when she was helpless or when she was competent. Yuki repeatedly refers to younger Mikuru's traits as "wonderful", and the argument's aftermath involves them [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything lying next to one another and looking extremely satisfied]].

*** Of course, that could also be directed at Kyon, who is also known for rarely smiling.

* Haruhi herself being ''[[RapeAsComedy all over]]'' Mikuru. At one point in the novels she actually ''reached up Mikuru's skirt'' before Kyon intervened. Not to mention saying: "Well, I'VE decided! Mikuru-chan IS my toy!"

* Ryoko to Yuki. There is a... growing mound of evidence to support this interpretation. In Disappearance, she's really focused on Yuki and being her friend, including helping Yuki out with the cooking and whatnot. How much of this is due to Yuki rebuilding the world and how much is just Ryoko is a bit unclear, but... Then, of course, she stabs Kyon not because she wants to out of habit, but out of an evidently sincere desire to protect Yuki and help her fulfill her innermost dreams of being human.
*** Then, in Book 10, she describes her relationship with Yuki as like "being reflections in a mirror", and speaks of her with an unmistakable mixture of adoration and longing.

** Even more HoYay from Endless Eight [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXPupW8FB1s here]].

* Itsuki has a habit of standing a bit too close for comfort to Kyon for Kyon's tastes when talking. He also has several lines in the novels that seem to be outright flirtatious. [[spoiler:According to Itsuki, if he didn't do that, Haruhi would unconsciously use her RealityWarper powers to make it happen anyway, but we know how much Itsuki likes to lie, and considering he only does it when Haruhi isn't around, that doesn't help his case any.]] For crying out loud, he can ''[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean penetrate closed space]]''.

* And then there's ''Snow Mountain Syndrome'', [[spoiler:in which it's implied that each member of the SOS Brigade is visited by the person they sexually desire the most during the night (bearing in mind that they're trapped in a house designed to [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean fulfil their every need and desire]] for eternity). While Kyon fends off a phantom Mikuru, '''Itsuki is visited by Kyon and Mikuru is visited by Haruhi'''. And to top it all off, apparently Kyon did things in Itsuki's room that he ''[[ShipTease would never normally do even if he went insane.]]'']]

** The seventh book has a focus on the two, and as a result mostly consists of Yuki constantly staring at Mikuru, and Mikuru getting more stuttery than usual around her. At one point they even spend the night together!

** In ''Remote Island Syndrome'', when Haruhi says that Mikuru will be the murder victim, she gets scared and hugs Yuki for protection. This was [[HideYourLesbians censored]] in the anime, though.
** ''Intrigues'' focuses on the two, and as a result mostly consists of Yuki constantly staring at Mikuru, and Mikuru getting more stuttery than usual around her.

* And the LesYay between [[GenderFlip Itsuko and Kyonko]] in ''FanFic/SuzumiyaHaruhiNoSeitenkan''.

*** Found some Itsuki/Kyon HoYay [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXPupW8FB1s here]].
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvHxtkKVDBA&feature=related More HoYay, possibly?]]
*** [[http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/The-Melancholy-Of-Haruhi-Suzumiya/item266735/ The anime staff doesn't exactly try to dispel this.]]
*** well YourMileageMayVary on that though. also there's the possibility that itsuki wishes to tell haruhi his love for her, but hides it and tries to suggest kyon to do that to haruhi, since haruhi loves kyon
*** And in "Remote Island Syndrome" there's a scene where Kyon and Itsuki are in a hotel room together discussing something and sitting on separate beds ''really'' close to each other.
* Of course, then there's Haruhi herself being ''[[RapeAsComedy all over]]'' Mikuru...
** Hell, at one point in the novels she actually ''reached up Mikuru's skirt'' before Kyon intervened. Not to mention saying: "Well, I'VE decided! Mikuru-chan IS my toy!"

* And the LesYay between [[GenderFlip Itsuko and Kyonko]].
** Sadly [[AllLoveIsUnrequited one-sided, just like in the actual canon]], but male fans don't seem as irked off by this version. I wonder why...
* There's more of this than you'd think between Yuki and Mikuru. For example:

*** That one's debatable, since Mikuru could simply have recognized Yuki as a Data Interface and realized she should be keeping an eye on the Brigade.
*** Except that it's heavily implied that Mikuru didn't recognize anybody in the clubroom. Given [[JerkAss the nature of her superiors]], it isn't too unreasonable to assume that they didn't tell her what she was looking for until after she'd found it.

** One of Mikuru's [[ImageSong image songs]] contains the lyrics "[[WhenSheSmiles Even if only a little, I want to see you smile.]]".
** The infamous "Contact Lens Removal" scene in ''Sigh''. Keep in mind that Yuki could have probably removed the lenses from a distance, and without Haruhi noticing. But instead, she took a more... [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean direct]]... approach.

* Really? Am I the only one who sees the subtext between Yuki and Mikuru? Off the top of my head:
