Theme: Wolf-and-Sheep

Akashi: Wolf

Kuroko: Sheep

3rd Person POV


It was another day in the large, green meadows; littered with sheep grazing on the crisp, fresh grass.

The sun was shining and the song of birds from nearby trees could be heard; what a lovely day it was.

There's nothing that can ever ruin this perfect day.

"ROAAAAAAAAAAR!"

Except for the appearance of a wolf, that Is.

It's a mystery why this wolf roars instead of howls; but since this is fiction no one is going to bother.

"Eek! It's the wolf! Run!"

The sheep scurried about, bleating as they made their attempt to escape.

In a mere twenty seconds, the meadow was left completely empty. Except for the wolf, of course.

"Hmph. Insolent herbivores." The wolf scoffed.

He lay down the grass with his arms folded behind his head, enjoying the breeze.

"Finally, some peace and quiet."

"That's true. It's hard to eat when everyone else is so noisy."

The wolf, upon hearing another voice, was slightly startled.

The sheep, who was now chewing on grass, raised an eyebrow at the wolf.

"Good day, Mister Wolf." He greeted after swallowing his mouthful of grass.

"How long have you been here?"

"From the very beginning."

"You… didn't run away like the others?"

"I have a weak presence, so wolves and lions who come by always fail to notice me. Besides, I need to fill my stomach."

"I see. You're different compared to the rest of the sheep. I like that."

"Err… Thanks, I guess? So what are you doing here today, Mister Wolf?"

"I came here in search of a place to nap. The weather's been getting warmer lately, and my den is too stuffy for my comfort, so I decided to settle for a more cooling place."

"I see. So are you going to eat me?"

"Why am I going to eat you?"

"Hmm… Excellent question. Don't wolves eat sheep?"

"In my opinion, I don't think sheep taste very good. It's also troublesome to get the wool out when it gets stuck between the teeth."

"Hmm… I wouldn't know about that." The sheep took another mouthful of grass, chewing slowly.

"Of course you wouldn't."

"What is your name, Mister Wolf?"

"What's with that, all of a sudden?"

"It's a little hard calling you Mister Wolf all the time."

"I would think it is proper for you to give your name before asking other people to state theirs."

"Ahh… My name is Kuroko Tetsuya."

"Akashi Seijuurou."

"That's a nice name."

"Yours as well. Say, do you think we can be friends?"

"Friends… you say? Isn't that a bit suicidal on my part?"

"That might be true. Don't you have any friends of your own?"

"I don't think the rest of my kind even know I exist."

"… You poor thing."

"It's fine; I prefer being alone. It's so much more peaceful. Well, if you can scare everyone off like that more often I won't mind being your friend."

"You're rather interesting… for a sheep."

"And you aren't so scary… for a wolf."

"So, are we friends?"

"Friends."
