Motoki smiled happily at the little kiss on his cheek and watched her walk away. He waved although she might had not seen it and once she was gone, Motoki let out a big and loud yawn. He suddenly felt really sleepy but he didn’t understand why when he had just had a lot of coffee.  He placed his arms on the table and the rested his head on them. A a five minute nap wouldn’t hurt anyone, so she closed his eyes and started to quickly doze off. After being woken up by some sirens on the street he decided to walk home.

Back in his apartment he greeted his pet turtle, Kamekichi-kun. He was about to tell him about his date when for a moment he wondered if it all had been a strange dream. The kiss and then Natsumi wanting to leave so quickly? Better not tell his friend about that…

His phone rand and Motoki picked up as fast as he could. ‘‘ I’m glad to hear that.’‘ Motoki said sitting on the couch. ‘‘ I’m alright, though I almost didn’t make it home. An ambulance almost ran me over on my way home, apparently something happened at the train station but I don’t know what. Are you okay? A-are we okay?’‘

        “Train station?” It was easy to play oblivious when she wasn’t sitting at the table with him. “I didn’t see anything. Must have happened after I left, then. It’s almost scary to think I could have been caught up in something…”

        She sighed, and her glamor dropped. Why bother with it when there was no one around? An relaxed in her chair, and pink eyes closed. “Yeah, I’m okay. It’s not you, really. It was me. It was all me. I just… I got scared. I’m sorry, Motoki.”

        Her eyes opened, and she pulled her knees up to her chest. “But I really like you. And I really want to keep seeing you and going out with you and I really liked kissing you. I mean it! I think I just accidentally took it a little too fast for my own good.”

        Hopefully, he would understand. Motoki seemed like such a nice guy, after all. He hadn’t pushed anything while she was there, and he had let her go on her own terms.

        “Umm… I have a day off in a couple of days? We can get lunch or something.”

[motokisgame]

‘‘Mhm...’‘ Motoki agreed as he removes his jacket while entering his messy bedroom. ‘‘ I’m glad you didn’t get caught, it looked pretty serious.’‘

Motoki shook his head even though Natsumi couldn’t see him from the other side of the phone. ‘‘ Don’t apologize, okay? And I had fun today and I hope we get to hang out again, I like spending time with you.’‘ He assured her, and he truly meant it.

The idea of seeing her again on her day off made him really excited, even though he was super tired all of a sudden and a yawn escaped his lips. ‘‘ Ahh, yes, I would love that.’‘ Motoki let his body fall on top of his bed as his eyes started to shut. ‘‘ ...mmm, I can’t wait...’‘ He mumbled as he started falling asleep. ‘‘.... call me...’‘ Motoki started to say but quickly dozed off and couldn’t finish the sentence.

Motoki was confused but he understood that something happened that had made her nervous. Something maybe Natsumi couldn’t tell him but he wasn’t going to ask too much.

Instead, he smiled at her trying to let her know that it was okay. That he understood. ‘‘ Don’t worry.’‘ He finally said, making sure his voice wasn’t too loud. ‘‘ W-we can go slow and we can keep on hanging out, chatting and trying boba teas around town, if that’s okay with you.’‘ He offered hoping that would be fine.

He took a moment to go over her words and found himself blushing. ‘‘ I like you too.’‘ And once more, he felt like a kid by confessing such an innocent thing and it felt good to say it out loud.

‘‘ You didn’t ruin it.’‘ Motoki assured her, almost reaching over to hold her hand but stopping himself. She needed space so instead he pretended he was stretching his arm. ‘‘ It was a nice kiss, but I promise I won’t try to kiss you again if it that’s what you want.’‘

Motoki wanted to ask her to stay right there with him, he didn’t want her to leave. Not just yet… But Natsumi was already holding her bag and if she felt like she had to go, he couldn’t ask her otherwise. So he just nodded. ‘‘ Let me know when you get home safely.’‘ For a moment there he was a bout to offer to walk her home but he once more had to stop himself.q

        Oh, she felt terrible! He seemed so earnest and really, she liked the kiss. It was electric and fun and there was a closeness to it that she had so desperately missed with Ail! It certainly didn’t hurt that Motoki was super cute.

        “I mean, I want it,” Natsumi fumbled. “Really, it was great! I’m just… I don’t do well when things go too fast.” And why did lying like this feel so wrong? She had lied to countless persons before. Why did this moment, to him, seem to make her stomach clench?

        She bit her lower lip and leaned in to place a quick kiss on Motoki’s cheek. Would it make him feel better? Her? A little. But also, maybe, she wanted to sneak a bit of his energy. It tasted fantastic.

        “I’ll call you. I promise.” She pulled back, composed herself with a deep breath, and left.

        As soon as she returned to her apartment, Natsumi flopped down on her couch. Wow, how lucky had she been to find a sleeping man on the train! The police would likely not suspect anything; people had heart attacks all the time. They would never be able to say an alien drained an overworked businessman as he slept.

        So, much stronger and more comfortable, she found Motoki’s number in her phone and called. “Hey… It’s me. I made it back safe. Are you… Are you okay?”

Motoki smiled happily at the little kiss on his cheek and watched her walk away. He waved although she might had not seen it and once she was gone, Motoki let out a big and loud yawn.

Motoki wondered what was all the story behind Natsumi and her brother since he couldn’t figure out if there was sadness behind her tone of voice or something else. But he knew it wasn’t his place to ask. Instead he nodded and listened to her talk. ‘‘ Well, I can help you?’‘ He offered with a shy voice. ‘‘ I mean, I am not the best at social interactions but I can teach you some things I’ve learned. Of course, it won’t all be Star Wars and Star Trek but at work I see people come and go all the time, I must have learned something, right?’‘

Motoki didn’t confess that he was glad that the place had closed since it saved his Arcade from going out of business, or at least that’s what his boss had said at that time. ‘‘ Oh, wow! It sounds like you were really busy when you were younger. So many activities! All I did was play video games and join the video game club…’‘ He said laughing nervously while scratching the back of his neck.

‘‘ I remember that weird guy!’‘ He said. ‘’ I wonder what happened to him since he just disappeared like a ghost. Where you scared when the attack happened? It’s so strange, there used to be so many weird attacks here in Juuban a couple of years ago. I found myself in many of them. So many in fact, I lost count and can’t remember them all.’‘

Motoki sipped from his coffee and chewed on a tapioca ball before he spoke. ‘‘ I’m glad you like it! Maybe we could come here again? I have a better idea, let’s go try every rose flavored tea in the city and rate them. You know as a experiment of course.’‘ He said before he offered her his coffee. ‘‘ Do you want to try mine?’‘

        He was willing to help her? That was a surprise! He really did seem like a kind person. If only she had known him the first time she came to Earth… “I think I would like that. And Star Trek… that is the one with… Oh, with Vulcans! And Klingons!” That, at least, she knew! Perhaps she had learned something, after all.

        “Well, once we got done being stand-offish, we really tried to make friends with everyone. So that meant activities. The festival was spur-of-the-moment, though. I… I’m not sure if there are any pictures of it anywhere. I do not remember the outfits being incredibly flattering. One of them had me dressed as a squid.”

        So, he remembered the Midnight Knight? Well, it had been a strange, localized matter. It would be stranger if he didn’t know. “Yeah! I was terrified! And I remember them! The news kept saying that they were monsters or animals escaped from the zoo or costumed criminals. We left after a while; it was just getting too dangerous for us, and our parents wanted us back home, so we had to transfer back.”Hopefully, he would not attempt to correlate their leaving with the ending of the attacks.

        Natsumi accepted the offer and handed him her own to make the trade-off equal. “Here. It’s only fair you try mine as well.”Every rose-flavored tea. She sipped his coffee - So strong, yet so sweet! Like a jolt to the system! - and contemplated the idea. “Well, if we want to do that, then it might take some time. Many afternoons or weekends…”Mischief twinkled in her eyes as she handed the coffee back.

        “Might you be trying to ask me on a date, Motoki-kun~?”

[motokisgame]

So she knew a little bit about Star Trek? ‘’ Yes! That’s exactly it.’‘ He said excited with a big smile on his face as he nodded. The next did he did was make the legendary hand gesture that everyone knew came from Star Trek.

He giggled. ‘‘ A squid? I wish I could see that.’‘ Although Motoki wasn’t ready to confessed that he had a couple of costumes of his own. Some were cosplays he had from when he was younger, but his favorite one was a turtle one he owned to wear around his pet turtle, Kamekichi.

‘‘ It used to get really crazy and dangerous around these area a lot back in the day. No one really knew what was going on, but thankfully we had the Senshi to help out when things got too wild.’‘ Motoki said. ‘‘ That was probably a smart move from your parents though, I understand why they would want you two to move back.’‘

He agreed with her and they exchanged drinks. Motoki took a sip from the pink colored boba and was immediately invaded by the rose flavored tea. ‘‘ Wow!’‘ He was so surprised by it. The tea wasn’t too sweet and the rose gave it such a smooth and pleasant feeling. He never imagined a flower flavored tea could taste so good. ‘‘ This is amazing.’‘

Motoki shrugged a bit but no too much  as he didn’t feel ashamed. He had been caught, he did want to invite on her a date. ‘‘ Do you want to go out with me, Natsumi-chan? ‘‘ He asked back hoping she’d say yes. ‘‘ I’m offering you an adventure around Juuban district, trying as many rose flavored boba teas and lots of nerd talks. Plus, we can walk together from work like we did today when the days are nice.’‘

[motokisgame]

Motoki sighed relieved when he heard there were no doctors coming his way. Doctors always wanted to use needles and he was terrified of them. And besides, he was used to passing out at the sight of blood so he knew very well that this dizziness would be over soon.

‘’ You are very kind.’’ He said after feeling the pat on his shoulder. He didn’t know this person and he had already fallen on top of him twice and now he was offering to take care of his wound on their home.

What a strange name, Motoki thought for a second, but her was glad there was an easier nickname to remember him by. ‘‘ Nice to meet you, Rio. My name is Furuhata Motoki.’‘ He held Rio’s hand and shook it, but he didn’t let go just yet.‘‘ Help me up?’‘ He asked.

Once back on his feet, still holding against the wall in case his legs weren’t strong enough and avoiding eye contact with bloody elbow. ‘‘ I feel terribly sorry, I apologize for being such an inconvenience. I’m sure you have better things to do than helping me.’’

[motokisgame]

Motoki was confused but he understood that something happened that had made her nervous. Something maybe Natsumi couldn’t tell him but he wasn’t going to ask too much.

Instead, he smiled at her trying to let her know that it was okay. That he understood. ‘‘ Don’t worry.’‘ He finally said, making sure his voice wasn’t too loud. ‘‘ W-we can go slow and we can keep on hanging out, chatting and trying boba teas around town, if that’s okay with you.’‘ He offered hoping that would be fine.

So he just nodded. ‘‘ Let me know when you get home safely.’‘ For a moment there he was a bout to offer to walk her home but he once more had to stop himself.q

motokisgame‌:

Motoki tilted his head to the side confused, almost like a kitten, as he wondered how she could ruin the moment. He watched as Natsumi sat up and leaned in closer to him. It wasn’t his first kiss, obviously, but he couldn’t to feel a bit nervous as their lips were about to touch. It was in his nature to be clumsy and kid-like sometimes, but Motoki hadn’t kissed anyone in a while and he didn’t he would be kissed that day when he woke up.

He closed his eyes and felt the quick peck on his mouth and when he was ready to kiss her back, she was already leaning back. 

With his eyes now staring back at her, Motoki managed to shake his head. No, of course she hadn’t ruined anything. Instead, he wished the kiss had lasted longer and that he hadn’t spent so much time slightly panicking about or being surprised. He was a grown man why did kissing such a cute girl make him freeze like that?

But fortunately he wanted to kiss her back, and without stopping to think about like he thought he would, he leaned over himself this time and pressed his lips on hers. Motoki barely opened his mouth as they kissed, enough for him to taste her lips.

A familiar fragrance invaded his body as he pulled back. ‘‘ You taste like flowers.’‘ He said in a low and soft voice.

        No response. She had messed up, surely. She had ruined the established mood, and he now hated her and they would never meet up again or-         But he leaned in and, whereas her kiss had been quick and soft, his was firm. Her eyes fluttered closed, and her hands gripped the front of his immaculate white shirt. She could have lost herself in the kiss, but something in the back of her mind came to life, and an instinctive fear took over.

        She was hungry, and there was such a willing source of energy right there.

        Motoki pulled back to her mixed relief and disappointment, and the barest feeling of energy tingled against her lips.

        “Is that a bad thing?” Her voice was equally low, as if the words could only exist between them in this one moment. She wanted to pull him back in, drink him in. Pull that delicious energy from him…

        Natsumi slowly released his shirt. “I… I should go before… before something happens that we can’t stop…”

[motokisgame]

‘‘Mmhmm...’‘ Motoki shook his head. ‘‘ No, not at all.’‘ Instead it was sweet and it made him wonder how was it possible for her to taste like fresh flowers. And he wanted lean in for another kiss and taste if it was roses or maybe lavender that she tasted like. Motoki had never felt more interested in flowers as he was at that moment.

With her hands holding on to his shirt, all he wanted to do was for their kisses to last a bit longer.

But Natsumi’s face and tone changed, she seemed a bit nervous now and suddenly she had to leave. Motoki was confused. They were just kissing at a cafe and nothing else was really going to happen, Motoki at least wasn’t planning on such thing.

His face turned very red once more but with an extremely confused look on his face. ‘‘ What?’‘ He could pronounce as he struggled with his thoughts and finding the correct words to say. ‘‘ D-did I do something wrong?’‘ He finally asked, feeling guilty that maybe he had made her feel uncomfortable.

He wanted to hold her hand again but he refrained himself of doing so. Motoki was careful as to not touch her now. ‘‘ N-nothing was going to happen...’‘ He murmured, barely audible.

Motoki had his eyes shut so he didn’t see the new video that was being played on his phone and was a bit surprised when he felt her fingers scratching him. It wasn’t a bad surprise, he was glad she hadn’t ran away from him acting like a fool.

He lifted his head a little bit, enough to be able to lean it against her soft hand. Motoki’s cheek was now touching Natsumi’s palm and though he was still blushing, he didn’t feel like hiding his face like he had done moments ago. This was nice and he let her know with a simple smile.

‘‘ Wouldn’t that be great? To be soft and fluffy, sleeping all day long in a comfy bed and eating treats. Ahh, the good life.’‘ He sat back up and found himself close to her with her hand still on his face. It was tempting for him to pronounce a soft meow to keep the cat joke going, but he saved himself the embarrassment of doing that. ‘‘ But I’m glad we are both humans and we can do things like this.’‘ He said as he took both of her hands between his and rubbed his thumb against the back of her hand.

‘‘ See… because humans have thumbs and cats don’t? …’‘ He explained and rolled his eyes annoyed at himself. ‘‘ I ruined the moment again, right?’‘

        He agreed, and thus it was confirmed: All humans secretly desired to be cats. Motoki sat up, and he seemed better, now. Had the head-scratching helped?

        His hands took hers, and he gently stroked the back of them with his thumbs. Was this a distinctly human action? He stated he would not be able to do so if they were cats… Cats did not have thumbs? Cats did not have thumbs. She was learning every day.

        “No, you didn’t,” Natsumi assured, looking up into sincere green eyes, even as they rolled. “You didn’t ruin it at all. In fact… I think I’m about to ruin it…”

        Nervous, sat up a little straighter and craned her neck before. She leaned in, and placed a soft, hesitant kiss on the corner of his lips. It was a bold move, and one she had only seen in romantic television shows and movies, but what if she never got another chance?

        “Did I?”

[motokisgame]

Motoki tilted his head to the side confused, almost like a kitten, as he wondered how she could ruin the moment. He watched as Natsumi sat up and leaned in closer to him. It wasn’t his first kiss, obviously, but he couldn’t to feel a bit nervous as their lips were about to touch. It was in his nature to be clumsy and kid-like sometimes, but Motoki hadn’t kissed anyone in a while and he didn’t he would be kissed that day when he woke up.

‘‘ Oh.’‘ Motoki couldn’t imagine growing up without watching his sci-fi films and favorite tv shows. ‘‘ You must have been an extremely smart kid.’‘ He said with a soft smile. ‘‘ My sister and I used to watch a lot of tv shows together. Mostly anime, since she didn’t enjoy they kind of movies I liked but we have a lot of great memories from our childhood.’‘

‘‘ Are speaking about that big laser tag arcade on the main street?’‘ Motoki asked leaning against the table. ‘‘ I remember that place well! Actually, I didn’t go but my best friend told me there was something weird going on there. Apparently people were attacked there and left unconscious. No one really knew what happened there. I also remember how my arcade was empty for a couple of days thanks to that place big opening. ‘’ Motoki remembered how his boss panicked for a moment thinking that the Game Center Crown since no one was really interested in attending there because everyone wanted to go to the laser tag place. ‘‘ Luckily, it was shut down a week after it opened and everything went back to normal.’‘

He nodded and pointed at the option on the menu hanging from the wall. ‘‘ I’m pretty sure it’s a french dessert. I had a friend of mine cook some for me once, it was delicious.’‘ That had been the only time Motoki had eaten such a fancy food, when Makoto offered to make some for him a while back. ‘‘ Maybe we can try it another time?’‘ He asked shyly but he was quickly interrupted by the device on the table buzzing.

‘‘ I’ll get our drinks!’‘ He said standing up and rushing to get them. Once he was back on the table, he picked up his coffee for a quick toast before they tried. ‘‘ Mmm! The coffee is so strong in this one, I love it.’‘ Motoki said approving his drink.

He stared at her curiously wondering if she had liked her order. ‘‘ I see your passion with flowers is very strong, more than I had thought so. Do you always order food that’s flower flavored?’‘

        “Smart? No. I mean, we learned a lot, but socially? We’re both… stunted.” She could think of no better way to explain it. They had learned a lot during their first time on Earth, but even after that, there was no way that either she nor Ail could be considered normal by human standards. “There is a lot we do not know about interacting with others, or the world outside of the bubble our parents kept us in. Slowly, we’re learning. He’s doing better than I. Then again, he hasn’t distanced himself so much from where we started as I.”

        No more of that. It was depressing. Instead, she focused on the new topic: the laser tag arcade! Natsumi perked up. “Yeah, I was there! Went with a guy and we had a ton of fun until things started to get really weird. Some guy in a white outfit and a sword, throwing roses. I honestly thought he was a worker there or something and it was a secret mission, but no just… some weirdo.”

        Oh, if Mamoru knew she was saying such unkind things about him. Well, the outfit was weird.

        “I was a little sad that they closed, but by that time there was just too much going on to worry about it. I got involved in a play, and there was a lot of drama around that, and then some other class recruited us for a sort of variety festival-”

        Natsumi was cut off by the buzzing of their little coaster-square-thing, and Motoki darted off to get the boba teas. He returned, and she accepted her graciously. One toast later - wasn’t that what warmed bread was called? - and she sipped. Fruity, soft, milky. Perfect.

        “Hmm? Oh, no, not everything. It’s kind of an experiment. This is what I get near work, so I figured I would see which I liked better.” This one was winning. Maybe the atmosphere helped. Probably. “This place is winning.”

[motokisgame]

Motoki wondered what was all the story behind Natsumi and her brother since he couldn’t figure out if there was sadness behind her tone of voice or something else. But he knew it wasn’t his place to ask. Instead he nodded and listened to her talk. ‘‘ Well, I can help you?’‘ He offered with a shy voice. ‘‘ I mean, I am not the best at social interactions but I can teach you some things I’ve learned. Of course, it won’t all be Star Wars and Star Trek but at work I see people come and go all the time, I must have learned something, right?’‘

motokisgame‌:

Now Motoki her cheeks blushing which of course made his own cheeks turn new shades of red too. Ahhhh…. why were they suddenly feeling so award when they had been having so far? Motoki suddenly felt like a young teenager again, acting weird around cute girls and never knowing what to really say. That’s when he finally realized that he thought Natsumi was cute…

‘‘ Haha, right, we are not cat.’‘ Motoki said shaking his head and turning back to the video. ‘‘ I wish I was a cat.’‘ He murmured watching the fluffy cats being lazy and sleeping all day. But he opened his green eyes widely as his last words echoed in his head. Had he just implied he wanted to be licked like that kitties on the video? Oh no! ‘’No, no, no… I meant-’‘

He stopped himself unable to think of a way so save the moment. Instead, he sighed and softly hit head against the table and hiding his face that was as red a tomato. 

        Motoki expressed his desire to be a cat, and her face colored even more. Did he want to be licked?! Was that… was that a thing? He tried to correct himself, and it ended in silence and a soft thud.

        Natsumi looked up to see him face-down, cheek against the table. Had he… had something gone wrong? She forced herself to uncurl a little and shifted so that she could face him.

        “I mean… I guess it would not be too bad to be a cat?” She glanced at the small, sleeping floofs on the screen. “Sleeping all day, perpetually adorable. Wanting for nothing. No need to work or clean or worry about rent and taxes. All the love and attention you could want…”

        Love. A hand came down from out of frame and began to lightly scratch one of the kitten’s heads. Yes. This… this was love. Love for a different species. A very tender, sweet love.

        She reached out and gently began to scratch Motoki’s scalp, just as the woman had done to the kitten. His hair was so soft…

[motokisgame]

Motoki had his eyes shut so he didn’t see the new video that was being played on his phone and was a bit surprised when he felt her fingers scratching him. It wasn’t a bad surprise, he was glad she hadn’t ran away from him acting like a fool.

He lifted his head a little bit, enough to be able to lean it against her soft hand. Motoki’s cheek was now touching Natsumi’s palm and though he was still blushing, he didn’t feel like hiding his face like he had done moments ago. This was nice and he let her know with a simple smile.

‘‘ See... because humans have thumbs and cats don’t? ...’‘ He explained and rolled his eyes annoyed at himself. ‘‘ I ruined the moment again, right?’‘

Motoki was glad to see the other man was fine. He looked around and the streets seemed to go back to normal quickly. People were used to that type of things happening on a daily basis.

He took a couple of steps back and adjusted his backpack. ‘‘ Hmm?’‘ Motoki hadn’t noticed he had been hurt until the younger man mentioned it. He looked over and noticed the red tainting his impeccable white shirt.

‘‘ Oh, no… is that blood?’‘ He asked as his entire face turned pale and started losing balance. Motoki tripped over and ended up falling on top of the stranger only this time he was too dizzy to be able to stand up again or apologize. ‘‘ I’m not good around around blood…’ He managed to murmur as the world around him started to turn black and he lost conscious.

        And, down they went. Again. The young man seemed to have lost all composure the moment he noticed that there was blood on his shirt. If he had not been so used to his comrades collapsing - intoxicated - on him, this might have been a problem to Iarios.

        “It’s fine. Come on… My roommate’s at work. We have an elevator. Just…”

        It did not matter what he was going to suggest. The man was unconscious. He sighed, looked up at the smoggy sky for a moment, wondering why him before pulling out his cell phone.

        “Hello, yes, I have an unconscious man? He just passed out on the side of the street. I’m at…”

[motokisgame]

Motoki didn’t feel his legs and was extremely confused at to where he was or who he was holding on to. Everything was turning black but he saw the stranger’s face and remembered what had happened.

‘‘ Oh no, no...’‘  He managed to say.’‘ No, no doctors.... I’ll be fine.’‘ He was starting to feel his limbs again although it was hard to keep balance. ‘‘ I just need some air...’‘

Somehow he managed to sit on the floor with his back against the concrete wall that had caused his deadly injury.’‘ That happens to me usually... with blood.’‘ He explained as he rested his heavy head against his folded legs. ‘‘ It goes away in a couple of minutes. I’m sorry I fell on top of you ... again. I didn’t mean to scare.’‘

Now that he recovered his breath he was able to look up and give his savior an assuring smile. ‘’ I might need you to help me to clean the wound since, I’m sure you guessed by now, I can’t do it myself.’’

        The other man was damn near tripping over himself to apologize for the sudden, rough contact. Really, he did not mind. In a world where people walked shoulder-to-shoulder, such collisions were to be expected.

        “It’s fine,” he finally said, giving the man a proper look over. Iarios’s jaw damn near dropped. He was a dead ringer for Mamoru, almost as good as Kasumi was. Those eyes were just slightly off, but otherwise? Perfection.

        “I mean, really, I’m alright. A little bit startled, is all.” The young man tried to offer a reassuring smile.

        And then, he spotted it: red on white cotton. Blood. “Oh! Looks like you weren’t so lucky.” He winced in sympathy. “I don’t live far from here, and my roommate is a bit accident prone, so we have a healthy first-aid kit, if you have the time.”

Motoki was glad to see the other man was fine. He looked around and the streets seemed to go back to normal quickly. People were used to that type of things happening on a daily basis.

He took a couple of steps back and adjusted his backpack. ‘‘ Hmm?’‘ Motoki hadn’t noticed he had been hurt until the younger man mentioned it. He looked over and noticed the red tainting his impeccable white shirt.

‘‘ Oh, no... is that blood?’‘ He asked as his entire face turned pale and started losing balance. Motoki tripped over and ended up falling on top of the stranger only this time he was too dizzy to be able to stand up again or apologize. ‘‘ I’m not good around around blood...’ He managed to murmur as the world around him started to turn black and he lost conscious.

Motoki gasped in horror and raised his arms up in the air. ‘‘ How?’‘ It wasn’t that she hadn’t watched the movies. It sounded like she had never even heard of them. He looked around the almost empty street and pointed at Natsumi. ‘‘ We have an alien here!!’‘ He shouted pointing at the girl but quickly turned into his shy usual self with his blushed cheeks.

‘‘ Argh! Sorry, I was only joking.’‘ He apologized rubbing the back of his neck. ‘‘ I’d love to show you the movies one time if you want to. But only if you are interested in them. They travel around the galaxies in cool ships and meet all kind of aliens.’‘ He quickly explained.

He shook his head. ‘‘ I know you can, but this way you can pay for the next one.’‘ Motoki said quickly as he stepped forward and paid for both drink. The cashier handed him a buzzing device and told them to wait on their seats for their drinks to be ready.

They walked together to an empty table and sat in front of each other. Motoki took out his green sweater as he was a little hot from the walk. ‘‘ Do you like this place?’‘ He asked looking around. ‘‘ I haven’t been here in while but I’m glad it hasn’t changed. There are new flavors in the menu, I wonder if the Creme Brulee one is good…’‘

        An alien. He really had figured her out, and now was outing her to the general public?! Natsumi’s shoulders hunched and she looked down at the tiled floor, desperately wishing she could dispense of glamor and just phase through the ground and into the safety of anywhere else.

        “Our parents did not like us watching anything that was not educational,” she lied, voice quiet. “When we moved out, we learned that there was a lot that we did not know. I’m still catching up to thinks.”

        Galaxies, cool ships, aliens. What sort of aliens? Were they the strange, wrinkly sort with the odd foreheads that she had once seen on television reruns? He offered her the opportunity to pay for snacks the next time, and Natsumi nodded. What was the point in arguing? It would only create more of a scene.

        She sat across from him and carefully set her purse down next to her chair. “It’s interesting. I haven’t been to a place like this since coming back to Tokyo. I do remember a laser tag arcade, but that was years ago.

        “…Creme Brulee?”

[motokisgame]

‘‘ Oh.’‘ Motoki couldn’t imagine growing up without watching his sci-fi films and favorite tv shows. ‘‘ You must have been an extremely smart kid.’‘ He said with a soft smile. ‘‘ My sister and I used to watch a lot of tv shows together. Mostly anime, since she didn’t enjoy they kind of movies I liked but we have a lot of great memories from our childhood.’‘

‘‘ Are speaking about that big laser tag arcade on the main street?’‘ Motoki asked leaning against the table. ‘‘ I remember that place well! Actually, I didn’t go but my best friend told me there was something weird going on there. Apparently people were attacked there and left unconscious. No one really knew what happened there. I also remember how my arcade was empty for a couple of days thanks to that place big opening. ‘’ Motoki remembered how his boss panicked for a moment thinking that the Game Center Crown since no one was really interested in attending there because everyone wanted to go to the laser tag place. ‘‘ Luckily, it was shut down a week after it opened and everything went back to normal.’‘

He nodded and pointed at the option on the menu hanging from the wall. ‘‘ I’m pretty sure it’s a french dessert. I had a friend of mine cook some for me once, it was delicious.’‘ That had been the only time Motoki had eaten such a fancy food, when Makoto offered to make some for him a while back. ‘‘ Maybe we can try it another time?’‘ He asked shyly but he was quickly interrupted by the device on the table buzzing.

‘‘ I’ll get our drinks!’‘ He said standing up and rushing to get them. Once he was back on the table, he picked up his coffee for a quick toast before they tried. ‘‘ Mmm! The coffee is so strong in this one, I love it.’‘ Motoki said approving his drink.

He stared at her curiously wondering if she had liked her order. ‘‘ I see your passion with flowers is very strong, more than I had thought so. Do you always order food that’s flower flavored?’‘

Both of them were sitting pretty close to each other, since Motoki had leaned over to show her the video but now that they were staring at each other her wasn’t sure of what to do. He tried to hide the fact that he had blushed but wasn’t necessarily uncomfortable by the closeness.

They laughed for a little bit and didn’t notice another video started playing on his phone. When Motoki finally paid attention to it, there were too cats liking and cleaning each other as if their lives depended on it. He went silent as his face turned red watching the cats clean their necks and faces.

‘‘ You are not going to do that too, right?’’ Motoki joked almost nervously.

        The laughter died once the initial humor and awkwardness of the matter passed, and she glanced back at the screen. Now they were… licking each other? From what little that she knew of humans, they did not like to be licked! Her cheeks flushed pink at the mere thought of it! 

        “I… No, I mean…” He was teasing. Natsumi had learned that tone he used very well, though there was a waver to his voice. Did the idea make him uncomfortable? Was the waver in his vocalizations a sign of fear?

        “That… That would be weird, right? We’re not… we’re not cats. Why would we do that? People don’t lick each other…” Oh, so this was what her peers meant about dying of embarrassment! Yes, yes she did feel like she could curl up into a ball and die.

[motokisgame]

Now Motoki her cheeks blushing which of course made his own cheeks turn new shades of red too. Ahhhh.... why were they suddenly feeling so award when they had been having so far? Motoki suddenly felt like a young teenager again, acting weird around cute girls and never knowing what to really say. That’s when he finally realized that he thought Natsumi was cute...

‘‘ Haha, right, we are not cat.’‘ Motoki said shaking his head and turning back to the video. ‘‘ I wish I was a cat.’‘ He murmured watching the fluffy cats being lazy and sleeping all day. But he opened his green eyes widely as his last words echoed in his head. Had he just implied he wanted to be licked like that kitties on the video? Oh no! ‘’No, no, no... I meant-’‘

He stopped himself unable to think of a way so save the moment. Instead, he sighed and softly hit head against the table and hiding his face that was as red a tomato.

OOF

Send “OOF” to pin my muse against the wall by ACCIDENT

        “Oof!” He winced, suddenly shoved up against an exterior concrete wall. The young law student had no idea that some young hooligans were coming up behind him, running through the post-work crowd on the sidewalk. Lost in his own, exhausted mind, he barely registered anything was out of the ordinary until another man stumbled into him.

       Iarios glanced up at the offender, then down the walkway as people shuffled back in the wake of the young upstarts. “Kids these days…”

[motokisgame]

‘‘ Careful!’‘ Motoki told the young man in front of him. He saw the teenagers running their direction, a green hair girl leading them as they ran through the crowd pushing everyone on their way. But the man did not hear him and Motoki quickly tried to approach him to warn him about the rebels heading their way when they were both pushed hard against the wall.

His first instinct was to stretch his arms with his hands against the wall, as the other young man ended up between them. Their face were too close and Motoki pushed back immediately as he noticed how they were standing. ‘‘ Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean too... They pushed us both against the wall...’‘ He stopped himself as he noticed he had hurt his elbow against the concrete wall, It wasn’t serious but there was a little bit of blood.

        Humans were absolutely fascinating. They watched recordings of small animals with delight, expressing the same sorts of emotions to them as they might their own younglings, or even those that they were incredibly familiar with.

        Ail used to look at her like that, once…

        Natsumi did find the animals cute, but she was far more interested in Motoki’s reaction. Even he shared the human tendency to react so positively and with such infatuation to these small animals called kittens. Especially the one who placed its paw on the other’s nose.

        She watched him for a moment before finding the resolve to imitate the kitten’s actions. Would he be as entertained if she did it? Much to her delight, his cheeks flushed a complementary shade of pink, and he even went so far as to return the gesture. Her own cheeks warmed, and she smiled. What other actions did these kittens partake in when with others they enjoyed? Would he be upset if she tried something that she knew humans did?
