Pant... Pant... "H-Hey, I think I might... need to..." Thud!
"Hey! Okamura! Someone get a stretcher!" Many footsteps and commands could be heard. "What? Someone else in the girls' group? Make it two then!"
...
Okamura woke up in a bed, presumably in the nurse's office. Next to him, he saw a cyan-haired girl, who he recognized as her classmate, Kusakabe Yuki. He felt hot and wet from his sweat, letting his tongue out. Usually, he preferred to not do that in public, but nobody was around, right?
Then, he realized the ice bags over his and the girl's head. His mind finally started working.
Oh... So I passed out in gym because it got too hot... Maaaaan, I gotta get used to this if I'm going to survive this summer...
"Are you awake?" he heard a voice ask. He turned his head over to look and saw a woman in a nurse outfit.
"Oh, yeah..." He instantly remembered his tongue and instantly blushed. He pulled it back in immediately and apologized.
"Oh, it's fine. So how are you feeling? Hot still?"
"Uh, not as bad as before but still pretty warm."
Just then, something caught his eye. He glanced over to see a disembodied head and a body with a green flame where its head should be. "D- uh, Miss?" he asked.
"Are you going to ask about her?" She nodded over to "her". Okamura responded with a slight nod. "She's a dullahan. A demi-human, like you."
Okamura then remembered he had heard there was a dullahan in the school, but hadn't actually seen her. After that rational thought, he cooled his head (figuratively, of course) a bit. Then, she woke up, perhaps due to their conversation. "'Morning... Wait, where am I?"
"Nurse's office," she replied. "Feeling warm? Cold?"
"Just a bit warm and- achoo!-... sneeze-y."
Whoop, whoop, whoop, other transition sound effects
"Alright, just a simple cold. You should rest here a bit more."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Geh..." a small voice groaned.
"Yuki?" Okamura said.
"Hot..."
"I'll get some more ice," the nurse said as she left the room.
"Here, you can have my ice for the moment," Okamura offered. He placed his bag on her chest. Then, he looked over at the dullahan. "So, what's your name? Sorry, I'm not good with names." Even though the nurse said it while she diagnosed her.
"Machi Kyoko. Nice to meet you,"
"Nice to meet you too. So, you're a dullahan?"
"Uh... What?" She wasn't used to people bringing that up themselves, or at least her classmates. They just danced around the subject, so this was a surprise to her.
"Huh? Don't you get that that often?"
"Well... No, not from my classmates."
"Really? If I were them, I'd definitely ask you. And I guess I am in that situation, so..." He moved his legs off the bed and started kicking the air. He turned to her and asked, "What's it like?"
She smiled, looking off slightly, happy that someone was talking to her the way she is. "Well, it's like my head and body are separate, but still connected."
"Hmm? Like your body would starve if you stopped eating or like your head would die if you got stabbed through your heart?"
"Um, I suppose so. My body still needs my head to function and vice versa."
"Oh... What about your neck? How does that work?"
"My neck exists, as I'm able to talk, and the doctors have confirmed about my neck when they put a camera in there."
"Interesting... How do you transport your head?"
"Just with my hands and arms."
"But doesn't that get tiring?"
"Yeah, but when you've been doing it your whole life, it gets easier."
"Are your arms stronger?"
"I've been told that before, compared to other high school girls, I suppose."
"Ooo, lemmie touch! Err... feel!"
"O... kay?" Okamura laid on his belly and waved for her to come closer.
"Poke, poke. Hey, your muscles are stronger than most! Not ripped, but I can feel your muscle's development."
Kyoko sighed. "That's enough about me," she said, slowly pulling her arm away. "Tell me more about you."
Okamura grinned ear-to-ear. "I'm so glad you asked! I'm Minato Okamura! Werewolf demi and flaming homosexual!" he practically yelled with a thumbs up.
"... Is that so?" She was a bit stunned, with such a flamboyant introduction. They sat in silence for a bit, while Kyoko sighed. "So, what's your life like then?"
"Huh? Aren't you surprised that I'm a werewolf demi? Or gay?" He seemed surprised himself.
"O-oh, sorry, sorry. That was so... Out there? I don't really care about that stuff about being a demi or gay. I know what it's like, you know."
He loosened up a bit. "That's nice! I really like people like you."
"Thank you."
"My life, did you ask about?'
"Yeah."
"Being a werewolf has it's kinks. I like to nibble on my arms, but I also the urge to bite really hard when I'm frustrated. I'm also hairier than most boys my age," he said while pulling his shirt out and looking down, "but that also means I got this sweet beard!"
Kyoko coughed. "Yup, that stubble's real impressive."
"... yeah well I think its pretty cool..." He laid back down in somber humor, poking at the pillows.
She had a small chuckle. "Sorry, it was too good of an opportunity to pass."
Just then, the nurse arrived with ice in hand. "Sounds like you two are feeling fine. Let me check."
One quick minute later, they were both allowed back to class. "Hey, where are you going next?"
"Math," she responded.
"Oh, cool. My class is near there. Wanna walk together?"
"Sure, that'd be nice," he said, walking back to class and tail wagging.
So, today I think I made a new friend! Machi Kyoko's her name. She's a dullahan, which makes her life a bit different. She seems real sweet, and she didn't judge me when I told her that I'm gay and a demi. I'm really glad that she became my friend, I haven't had one since I moved. It seems that she was also a bit lonely perhaps, even though she mentioned a few of her classmates talking with her. She has messy, orange-y-ish hair, and gentle, blue eyes... Man, I wish I was better at this whole summarizing thing, but yeah. Write to you later!
