Aliens thought Daichi were peculiar creatures.
Sugawara didn't understand a lot of things about human culture. The alien intended to stay in Daichi's treehouse. Not that Daichi could stop him.
"Fine" replied Daichi with a long suffering sigh. Sugawara smiled.
"Was a broken UFO convincing enough?"
"Yes" Daichi rolled his eyes. "This is black mail"
"Lies" replied Sugawara. He continued moving things around the treehouse to his liking. A blanket floated to an old mattress in the corner. Next the boxes of volleyball memorabilia floated onto stacked boxes in the treehouse.
"Ummm…can you stop doing the floaty thing?"
"floaty thing? Oh you mean my telekinesis? It comes in handy" said Sugawara.
"I see" responded Daichi.
The alien had than disappeared to God knew where after Daichi had rearranged items in the treehouse.
Daichi was in his current predicament of looking for a elusive alien.
He racked his brains of trying to think of where an alien could possibly hide.
Nothing.
Daichi had checked the treehouse several times to make sure the alien was there, only to find the place empty. He was sure he wasn't hallucinating and this wasn't happening.
There was an earthbound alien on the loose on Earth. Daichi had to find him immediately.
He had the worst luck. Damn Sugawara and his persuasiveness. Daichi realized he had started to grow fond of Sugawara's company.
Maybe he should have let the alien stay in his room and keep him company.
Nope that clearly wasn't happening in a million years. Daichi slammed his head on a wall for thinking the line of thought.
He went to check the garage.
Sugawara was really interested in human culture. Daichi had unwillingly become his expert. Or maybe he was just too persuasive for his own good.
Sugawara seemed to love cats and seemed to attract cats wherever he went. He cooed at a cat near a pet shop window as Daichi was walking beside him.
"Awww aren't cats cute Daichi?"
"They sure are" said Daichi. Just like you.
Sugawara had put against the glass window parallel to the cat's paw. The cat was looking at Sugawara happily. Sugawara tapped the glass as the cat leaned towards the glass. The cat stood on tiptoes following Sugawara's hand.
Hanging out with the alien was an adventure itself.
Daichi rewatched nostalgic old movies he thought he would never see again. He immersed the alien in pop culture. He took Sugawara to a restaurant. Which to be honest felt like a friend date or was it a date? He had no idea.
He went ice-skating for the first time with the alien. And helplessly fell on his butt, while Sugawara gracefully skated around. But with help from Sugawara he slowly got the hang of the basic. There were a lot of firsts with Sugawara.
He could feel his breath taken away watching Sugawara as they stood together in a park at the end of the day watching a sunset.
Daichi realized he was hopelessly falling in love an alien out of all people.
Sugawara had gotten himself lost in a small retail store in the neighborhood. The store was quaint and quiet with a few customers coming in every now and then. He had gotten lost by curiously exploring the neighborhood by himself, while Daichi was asleep.
Human culture was really exciting thought Sugawara and Oh dear he should have told Daichi but there was no use turning back now and he hoped Daichi did not have a hard time finding him.
Daichi had decided to check the neighborhood shops and as he turned past the Happy Grocers he saw Sugawara's grey hair peering through the crack of some shelves.
"Ah there you are! I'm glad I found you Sugawara" Said Daichi relieved.
"Come on let's go."
Sugawara looked just as glad to have found Daichi.
They left the Happy Grocers behind as they walked back together to Daichi's house.
"Next time don't do that." Said Daichi
"I'm sorry." Apologsed Sugawara. He really should have been grateful for everything Daichi had done and provided him with. He really should have.
"By the way aren't your summer holidays ending soon?" asked Sugawara.
"Yeah." Said Daichi sadly as he thought about school but then he would be playing volleyball again. However there was one huge problem for the team and they were missing a reliable setter.
Suddenly he had a great idea in mind involving a certain alien with supernatural powers. All he needed was Sugawara's agreement with this particular idea.
