a/n: AlieaGakuenAliens, thank you for the review! I was going to send the answer in a message, but decided to put it here in case others have the same question. Midorikawa is in his early 20s, pretty much the age he'd be during GO. But if I have to give an exact age, I'm going with 24. Pretty much everyone here is how they'd appear in GO, so I hope that helps!

(Saturday - Morning)

Midorikawa is greeted to light shining on his face, seeping through the window to wake him up, along with some discomfort in his body. He lets out a pained groan as he shifts in his seat. Rubbing his eyes and sitting up in this chair, he has to take a moment to remember where he had been sleeping and why his body is feeling terribly sore.

God, I must have been really tired... The man sighs, stretching, bones cracking; slowly his body is waking up. He yawns before looking around the room. And at the sight of an unfamiliar person, he nearly jumps out of his seat.

I almost forgot that...that really happened last night...

Biting his lower lip, he begins to stand and walk over to the unconscious stranger he had rescued. He didn't seem to pale with the light shining on him, then again he could only tell so much by the color of his face (and he couldn't recall how pale he had looked last night). The man reaches out to lightly touch the stranger's cheek. He's not sure why- maybe he'll wake up? Yet, he doesn't respond.

"I really hope you're okay..." He wasn't sure what he would have to do if he wasn't at this point. There was always the option of making up a story (who would possibly believe him anyway?) but lying wasn't his strong point. Besides, thinking of getting the authorities involved, it was just causing him to grow anxious. There would be so much trouble, confusion, chaos, so many questions, possibly accusations, maybe his memory would even be wiped-

"I need to shower." He interrupts his own thoughts while glancing down at his clothing. They were painted with blue more than he originally thought. He could only hope that he could wash this blood off or else he'd be saying bye to this set of clothes. But that wasn't too important, not now. His clothes (and towel) could be replaced, but not a life.

"Umm...I'll be...in the bathroom, okay?" Midorikawa tells the stranger. There's no response. Only breathing. "If...you wake up, please don't be too alarmed..."

Not knowing what else to say (he's hoping that man may at least subconsciously be hearing this) he makes a quick run to the bathroom. A shower will definitely help not only wash his body but maybe even help clear his thoughts. And while trying to think of something to do, he thought of one person who would be willing to help him out no matter what situation he may be in.

~...~

"Osamu, I'm so glad you could make it. And, I'm really sorry for just...calling out of the blue..." Midorikawa greets his old friend at the door while holding it open.

"It's no problem, Ryuuji," Saginuma replies, flashing him a warm smile as the door is closed behind him. Although that smile fades, and is replaced with a serious and concerned look. "You did have me worried though. You didn't sound particularly well over the phone and with your situation..."

"Sorry. But...this really is pretty urgent and I just didn't know who else to turn to." He awkwardly shrugs while glancing over to the living room, specifically at a certain couch. "Anyway, he's over here."

Midorikawa leads his friend over to where the stranger was lying, still unconscious. He didn't hear a sound escape from Saginuma upon stepping closer to him and he had to glance over to see his reaction. Unlike the green haired man who was openly panicked to the sight, Saginuma seemed more calm about this. There was a twitch of uneasiness that came from him, but other than that, his eyes were set on the stranger. Midorikawa could already guess that he was trying to formulate some kind of solution to this problem.

"It was difficult to believe that you actually spoke the truth," Saginuma comments as he walks in front of the couch, bending down to inspect the stranger. He gets a closer look at him, even he finds it odd that this person is not human. "I know its unlike you to lie, I'd really expect that from Haruya, but this is just so..."

"Unreal?" Midorikawa finishes for him and the other nods in agreement.

"Yes..." His eyes settle down on the alien's abdomen and begins to lift up the cloth, trying to peek at the wound that was underneath it to get a better understanding of his injury. "Blue blood and so much lost...Any normal person would have lost their heart beat by now..."

Saginuma then makes a puzzled expression as he begins to set the cloth back down. "You saw his wound last night, correct?"

"I did!" Midorikawa answers, dashing over to his side. While he was not eager at looking at the messy wound, the way Saginuma had spoke caused him to worry. "What happened to it? Is it worse? Did he move in his sleep and widen it?"

"No, no, calm down, Ryuuji." He places a hand on the man's arm, patting it for a moment to calm his nerves. He made sure to wait until he saw the other's expression soften a bit before continuing. "I do believe you and I can tell he did have a serious injury, but..." He pauses, slowly moving the cloth down to show his answer. "There is nothing there."

Midorikawa lets out a soft gasp, eyes fixated on that part of the stranger's flesh. While remains of his blood still covered the area, it had been perfectly sealed up, as if there was no injury at all in the first place. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and had to touch it to confirm it himself. "It's...He's..." Better? Healed? All in one night? "But I saw it...it was so deep and then there's..." All he could do is motion to the blue surrounding the wound, the man's clothes, and the (unfortunately dirtied) towel. If he had his bloodied clothes on, he could even show him that to to emphasize just how much was loss.

"I know, I was expecting worse not better," Saginuma comments as he stands. His eyes travel from the wound to the stranger's face. He really was not liking this strange alien. To him, he was nothing but danger. Blue blood, quick recovery rate from a deadly wound, an unknown landing, and who knows what else this being could bring upon him. And he had to be cared for by his friend who had the biggest heart.

"I hope you're on your toes, Ryuuji."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't like this," He comments, gently pushing Midorikawa to the side, away from the couch. "I have a bad feeling about this. When he wakes up, will you kick him out?"

"What? Osamu! I can't do that!" Midorikawa looks offended by the other even asking that. "He's hurt! I mean, I'll help him get home, or try to, but he shouldn't be forced to leave so suddenly."

"I know, thats not what I meant." He sighs, always making a mental note to word things better and possibly not sound so harsh. "I'm worried about you having a strange and abnormal...being in your home. You're alone and with him. He's different and we don't know who or even what he is. I want you to be safe."

"I...I know you do. And I know he might be..." Dangerous. "But he's hurt. Or, um, was hurt. He still might be, so-"

"I'll stay here if I have to."

"Osamu..." Midorikawa sighs as he looks to him. "Thank you for worrying over me, but I know you're busy." And I don't want to be a burden. "I can call you if anything...bad happens." Which he was praying would not. "I know to be careful, be wary of him. I'm not six years old anymore."

"I have to be worried over you." And it's your kindness, that is what worries me the most. "I'd argue more to stay with you, but, you are right. I have things to do." Saginuma mentally curses that fact. If he had the time to spare, he would remain here. For now, he pulls the other into a tight hug. "Call me right away, the moment he wakes up. I have to speak with this stranger that you decided to heroically save. He should see you as his savior if anything."

Midorikawa relaxes into his embrace and even chuckles to that 'heroic' bit. He never thought he would be called a hero. "You don't have to scold him for me. But..." He tightly wraps his arms around him. "I'll call if I feel something is off when he wakes up, okay?"

"Alright. I'll get out of your hair for now then." He replies, feeling more at ease, yet still worried about that stranger. He couldn't help it. They were only humans who knew nothing about this unconscious being. The last thing Saginuma wanted was for him to be of a violent species.

"You're welcomed to stay longer if you want. I mean...I'm just really watching over him." There wasn't much else he could do. Midorikawa wanted to be ready for whenever the alien decided to wake up.

"I do wish to stay...how about, I go and buy something for the two of us to eat? I'll make you dinner while you keep an eye on him?" Saginuma would prefer to be the one to stay and the other go, but he had a feeling it wouldn't be that easy to force him out of his own home at this moment.

"That sounds lovely. I missed your cooking, you know. I'll give you some money-"

"No. My treat."

"But-"

"Let me treat you, Ryuuji. I believe, as you have said before, there's a saying that goes like-"

"You don't have to use my own words against me." Midorikawa interrupts and lets out a sigh. Saginuma has a triumphant smirk on his face. He hated when the other decided to quote one of his many proverbs. "Fine. Next time I'll treat you though. As they say, 'great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy'."

"I doubt you would become lazy from my so called pampering." Their lives hadn't been the easiest so far, and letting the older take care of him wouldn't hurt from time to time. "Anyway, I'll be back in a bit. Be safe while I'm out."

"Don't worry, I will. See you." Midorikawa watches as Saginuma makes his way to the door. Once he hears it close, he turns back to look at the stranger.

You really aren't human, are you?
