"Maybe you'll laugh when I tell you, or write it off as a fairy tale. It couldn't possibly be true. I mean, how could it?
"This, is the story about my dad, and it's true. Every word of it. The man he fell in love with was also a wolf."
"Back then, dad was a student at National University in Tokyo. He had earned a scholarship to pay up some of his tuition and worked a part time job to take care of all the rest. His life was pretty much as anyone could say normal. Until one day in the early summer, during one of his classes...
He noticed a young man he had never seen before, now my dad had never taken upon himself to notice anyone much...but to him, this man was different. He wore a plain black shirt with a stretched out collar and although he didn't seem to have a text book he kept taking notes diligently. He though he looked out of place in the lecture hall. He says that as the class filed to give their attendance cards, he noticed the young man didn't turn in his, dad turned around and saw the stranger left through the back door. He didn't know what drove him but yet he followed the stranger. Rushing after him through hallways until he finally reached him at a staircase."
Haruka Nanase stops, taking deep breathes before calling him out. "Um, hey..?"
The stranger turned towards Haru and looked at him with piercing red eyes, making Haru gasp lightly. "You didn't fill out a slip...they'll mark you down as absent if you don't...I can go get one for you if you-"
"Don't bother." the stranger answered him with a serious deep tone. "I'm not a student here." he sighed, "I shouldn't have come. See ya." He took off leaving Haru standing there, surprised at his quick and stern response. Still, Haru was not going to let this stranger just walk off, he followed him again at a bit further distance and stopped in front the entrance door to witness the stranger walking, these few kids ran in front of him. One fell to the ground and began crying, he turned back and gently helped the child back up on his feet, rubbing his head gently before walking off again. The children stared after him curiously but still they continued on with their business. Haru rushed after the stranger again, he followed him all the way to the front gates.
"Hey wait, please!" the stranger stopped and turned to him, "That class you were sitting in is pretty tough even without a text book, so I thought maybe if you decided to come back for another lecture we could...share mine?" Haru didn't know where this impulse or the need to know this person came from, but he wanted to. The red head stared at him surprised but later agreed.
After that Haruka carries out the rest of his day normally at his job, still as the day progressed, Haru has a hard time concentrating because he still thinks about this stranger. After work during his usual grocery shopping, he'd stop occasionally and look up. Getting home was the same thing, he made his evening meal and ate silently. After dinner. He read a book quietly but looked up thinking about the red headed stranger.
The said red head also drifted off from time to time, wondering where the act of the person he met the day before came from. Haru once again arrived to the university and looked around for him, since there was no sight of him because as it turned out he was still working delivering packages. Yet that didn't stop Haru from thinking about him.
Finally during one of his classes he looked over and spotted the red head rushing towards the entrance, Haru quickly scooted over, letting him sit next to him. They looked at each other before going back to paying attention to class.
After, Haru snuck him into the library with his card so they could both look around for books, he occasionally asked him questions about what kind of books was he interested in. After school, the stranger invited Haru for a walk.
