A Little Bit Closer
Please don't be inhuman...
The bell rings for the end of school. Teruhashi and her friends walk outside together
Sanji
Can you believe your brother paid for our tickets?
Teruhashi
It's not much of a big deal
Doya
Excuse me? We're going to the towns Mystic Festival, the most expensive...
Sanji
...and exciting festival of the year
Teruhashi
And I guess you've been waiting for three years?
Teruhashi
*laughs* Who are you taking with you?
Sanji
Oop, I'm asking Tashki tomorrow he's so cute!
Teruhashi
*rolls her eyes*
Doya
I want to ask Christian but...I'm too shy UwU
Teruhashi
Isn't Christian that new transfer student?
Sanji
He moved from England. I bet they crave tea all the time and throw a street party when it's not raining *giggles*
Teruhashi
You know what I'm craving right now?
The ice cream shop opens its shutters to the customers
Sanji
Cmon. Race ya! *starts running*
Teruhashi and Doya run after Sanji
They get their icecream and sit down on a bench
Sanji
Teruhashi, who are you taking?
Teruhashi
No one! I don't need no man! I just wanna spend the time with you guys
Sanji
Girls, have you heard about wolves?...
Teruhashi
Human wolves? Sanji what have you been searching?
Doya takes out her phone so everyone can see and read
Doya
There was a loud white explosion three days ago. It happened around here and according to scientists, the hair left there is unknown and they think it's a mystical creature.
Teruhashi
Aww cmon you guys. You seriously think some alien dude is roaming road our town?
Sanji and Doya nod furiously
Teruhashi
Well I doubt it and if there is. I'll admit that I'm a nerd
Teruhashi
*stands up* Okay, I'll be heading to the court now
Doya
Y-You sure? That's where the explosion happened...
Teruhashi
Bye *starts walking*
Teruhashi arrives at the basketball court and gets her ball out
The street next to the court is busy with workers and investigators
Teruhashi
I'm grateful they didn't block this off *throws the ball into the hoop*
Teruhashi
Wolf like humans? Pfft! *dribbles the ball*
Teruhashi
I can even write an oath that, that won't happen
Teruhashi
*shoots the ball into the hoop again*
Teruhashi
Wow, I'm sure to get 20 by the end of the day!
Teruhashi scores until she gets 39
Teruhashi
One more....and I get double my target...
There's a groan behind the bushes
Teruhashi
*Misses* What was t-that?
Teruhashi
*walks behind the wall to the bushes*
A handsome boy with white hair is laid there badly hurt
Teruhashi
*gasps* W-what happened here?
Teruhashi
*examines him* Poor thin- *notices the ears* .What's this?
Teruhashi
*pulls Kitty ears* Probably fake...
The ears don't come off and instead it moves long with the boy's head
Teruhashi
That means...*screams*
Teruhashi
Aahh, it's an alpha human wolf!
The workers hear her and want to see what's going on
Teruhashi
I can't keep you here. Mr. Alpha Alien
Teruhashi
*calls Aska* Hey bro. I kinda need you to pick me up...
Teruhashi tells his brother briefly
Aska
So what's up with him?
Teruhashi
Uh...he fell off the hill and fell unconscious
Teruhashi and Aska get in the car and put the boy in too
Aska
Whrere are we going to drop him?
Aska
*looks closely at the boy* Why does he have wolve ears?
Teruhashi
Uh...cosplay! Might be getting an outfit for the Festival
Aska
I see. *looks back on the road*
Aska
Cause police are on the run for someone like him and I ain't going to jail
Teruhashi
*whispers* Please don't be inhuman
Earth To Teruhashi!
They arrive at their house and help each other to put the boy onto the sofa
Teruhashi
[Wait a minute, this oddly feels uneven]
Teruhashi
*let's go of her grip*
Aska
TERU, YOUR GOING TO HURT HI-
The boy is light enough for Aska to carry on his own
Teruhashi
Uh..He's been on a healthy diet?
Aska puts the boy down on the sofa and checks his temperature
Aska
God, it's 26° ! He's freezing
Teruhashi
He is very pale...
Aska
Stay here and look after him. I'm calling the paramedics
Teruhashi
You want....me...to look after him?
Aska
It's not that hard *leaves the house*
Teruhashi
Great! I'm stuck here with this alien dude from a different planet
Teruhashi
*looks over her shoulder* He...does look very cold...
Teruhashi
Poor thing's been outside for nearly 4 days
Teruhashi looks for a blanket and covers him
Teruhashi
His skin is so...soft...
Teruhashi
And he smells of....spring roses...
Teruhashi
Ugh! Teruhashi get your head into reality
Teruhashi
Thank God I'm not blushing! Aska would be here soon
How she thinks she looks like 👇👇👇
What she actually looks like 👇👇👇
Teruhashi
Gosh! I don't even know him yet I feel weird
The door bursts open. A couple of Paramedics enter the room with Aska behind them
Teruhashi acts awkwardly towards the doctors and sweats a lot
Teruhashi
[If they found out that he's not human. I'm done for]
The doctors speak to Aska and then leave
Teruhashi
W-What did they say?
Aska
Eh? Nothing much. Just saying things about keeping him warm
Teruhashi
So nothing about death or alpha wolves...
Aska
What's up with you lately? You would usually go to your bedroom and do your homework
Aska
Now your all hyper and attentive to this stranger
Aska
I was starting to get worried that you'll be single for eternity
Teruhashi
Shut up! I'm way too young for relationships
Aska
Teruhashi, your 15 turning 16 next month
Teruhashi stomps to her bedroom and slams the door behind her
Teruhashi
*from her bedroom* Shut up!
Aska
*looks at the boy* Yeah, I don't know how I live with her
It's morning and Teruhashi is making coffee in the kitchen
Aska
*Runs out from his bedroom to put on his shoes*
Teruhashi
Uh...where are you going?
Aska
None of your business
Teruhashi
You better not be selling that stupid d-
Aska
Mum and Dad are coming on Tuesday so you have a day to think about what your going to do with that stranger
Teruhashi
Oi! You cut me off
Aska
Sorry, what were you saying?
Aska
Nice talk. See you Teru! *kisses Teruhashi on the forehead and leaves*
Teruhashi
Yeah, nice talk...
Teruhashi walks up to the boy and stares at him for a bit
Teruhashi
*Kisses him on the forehead*
Teruhashi
ARGH! WHY DID I DO THAT?!
Teruhashi
I COULD GET ALPHA RABIES *picks up her bag*
Teruhashi
EEEEEEEEWWWWWWwwwwwww
Teruhashi
Teru, get yourself together, your mature. It was just a kiss to warm him up *puts on shoes*
Teruhashi
EWWWW NO WAY! *runs out of the house and shuts the door behind her*
Oh Hello There!
Teruhashi is at the basketball court
She misses all her shots because her mind is full
Teruhashi
I don't understand why I have to risk my life to save someone else
Teruhashi
Ugh! And all he does is sleep on my couch!
Teruhashi shoots and scores from all her rage
She dribbles the ball around the court
Teruhashi
I mean, who sleeps for nearly 3 days?
Teruhashi
..only people in comas...
Teruhashi abruptly stops the ball
Teruhashi
What if....he's in a coma?
Teruhashi
What if he's dead?
Teruhashi
What if people come kidnap him to dissect him?
Teruhashi
What if Aska sees him and calls the police?
Teruhashi
Or worse...what if my parents come home early?!
Teruhashi
*picks up ball and water bottle and starts running*
Teruhashi forgets about the boy and slows to a walk
Teruhashi
Why was I running? Eh...anyway *takes a sip out of her water bottle*
Teruhashi's house comes into view
Teruhashi puts the ball down in between her feet and pulls out her keys. She puts the key into the keyhole and opens it
She takes another sip and looks into the house...
Teruhashi
YAN- *chokes on her water*
Teruhashi goes to lean onto the cabinet for support but trips on the ball and palmfaces the floor
Teruhashi
That can't be real...*gets to her feet, closes the door behind her and looks around in shock*
The whole house is trashed. The kitchen looked the worst. Teruhashi's parents are very OCD when it comes to tidiness
Teruhashi
No No No! Everything is either broken, knocked over or
Teruhashi
*picks up Aska's baseball bat* I know it's a burglar.... I just know it
Teruhashi
*takes out her phone and calls Aska*
Aska
*Through the phone* Hello?
Teruhashi
Aska, w-when are you coming b-ack home?
Aska
Eh..I'm coming back on Wednesday
Teruhashi
Can you come home today?
Aska
Teruhashi, what's wrong?
Teruhashi
I think we've been robbed...
Aska
This conversation is useless. We don't have robbers around here
Teruhashi sends a picture to him
Teruhashi
See? And that's just the bedroom. Wait till you see the living room and kitchen
Aska
You're joking me, right?
Aska
Teru, I low your doing this to lure me into the house so you can scold me about selling the "thing"
Teruhashi
You shouldn't be selling it bu-
Aska
I knew it. I'm trying to earn money for us so we can help Mum and Dad reach their dream but your being selfish
Teruhashi
This is the wrong way to do it though...
Aska
If there's a burglar then call the police. What am I gonna do? Use teleportation to kick his ***?
Teruhashi
Ugh! He's so stubborn
The call goes to voicemail after a bit
Teruhashi
Now who's gonna protect me?
There's a muffle from the living room
Teruhashi
*whispers* W-what was that?
Teruhashi
*gets the bat at ready*
Teruhashi looks around the living room
There's something moving at the corner of the room
Teruhashi
*slowly walks up to it*
Something is struggling to get out of the blanket and is trying with all effort.
Teruhashi
*slowly lifts the blanket*
Teruhashi
AAACK! *screams*
The hurt alpha human is sat there looking up at her
