(Wednesday - Night)

"You know, we haven't visited little greenie in a while. Think we should?" A red haired male asked, leaning his head over the shoulder of a silver haired man.

"Hmm...Its unlike you to suggest something like that." With a curious look, teal eyes glance over to just barely meet with golden ones.

"Oh come on! It's not that out of character of me to want to go and see Ryuuji!" Nagumo huffs, now standing away from the other with crossed arms.

Suzuno turns to look at him, his hands resting on his hips. "If you're trying to make me laugh, keep going."

Nagumo huffed and rolled his eyes, hating how the other seemed to not be taking him seriously. "Fine, I get it. You wanted to suggest it first, didn't you?"

"Me? No...But I do think we should go see him tomorrow. He gets off work early."

"And how the hell do you know that? You his stalker or something?"

"No. I just have my sources. And I also plan ahead."

"So...you were going to go without me?"

"Maybe."

"...Asshole."

(Thursday - Afternoon)

"You're back early, Ryuuji."

Midorikawa was greeted with a warm welcome as he had returned home. It didn't surprise him to find the alien waiting by the door whenever he was arriving home from work. He had picked up that the other had this sensitive hearing, almost like a dog (if he had to compare it to something familiar and on Earth).

"I forgot to mention, Thursdays I'm usually let out early. Its one of those slow days." He replied with a shrug. "And since I'm home early, I can make some decent dinner."

"Will it be like your breakfast?" Gran asks with curiosity.

"No, it'll be better!" Midorikawa said cheerfully. He was already happily going over to the kitchen to begin preparing for dinner. And he was about to ask Gran if he wanted to watch (the alien preferred the term observed) while he cooked, but found the other looking at the door.

"What is it, Gran?"

"You have guests." He replied as he glanced over to him. "Should I answer?"

"Guests?" Midorikawa had a puzzled look on his face. He quickly checked over his cell phone, seeing if he missed a text or something about a visit from...anyone really. If it were Saginuma, he definitely would have called ahead. But, there was nothing there, aside from the usual 'keep me updated' texts.

"I'll get it. Umm..." Since he really had no clue who it was, he wasn't sure if they should even see Gran. Sure he looked normal now, wearing another outfit that Midorikawa had gotten him, but he was certain questions would still be brought up. The whole 'who is he', 'what is he doing here', 'why is a stranger in your home', etc. And it didn't help that since he didn't know who was at the door, he couldn't prepare something before hand. The thought of telling Gran to stay in his room was an option, but he would feel terrible to leave him there for so long.

"Hurry up and open the door, Ryuuji! We know you're in there!" A loud shout was heard from beyond the door and Midorikawa instantly recognized the voice.

"Haruya? Fuusuke is probably with him to." He mumbled. Now he knew he had to let them in, but still had no clue what Gran should be doing. Or do. "Umm...If they ask why you're here, you're here for a visit, okay?" He said quickly to Gran, who just looked confused to that statement.

"Sorry!" Midorikawa said as he rushed to answer the door. Nagumo was already letting himself in, the moment the door had opened.

"It's about damn time you let us in! Thought you weren't home by how long you were taking."

"Don't mind him, Ryuuji. He's just being overdramatic." Suzuno sighed as he walked in after him. Greeting Midorikawa with a small smile before looking ahead to Nagumo, expecting a comeback in just seconds.

"I am not!" Nagumo stomps as he turns around with a glare. "And you know I wasn't."

"Of course you weren't. Anyway...sorry for the sudden intrusion, Ryuuji. We just thought of dropping by to see you, since its been a while."

"Thats...sweet of you. Though, I'd like if you had called ahead since-"

"Who the hell are you, huh, red head?" That was Nagumo, speaking to none other than Gran. And already seemed offended by the fact a stranger was in this home.

"-company is already over..." Midorikawa sighed as it was already too late to do a peaceful introduction.

"I am Hiroto Kiyama." The alien gave a warm smile to the other, offering a hand to shake. "I'm here to visit." He stated, figuring it was the truth as well as what Midorikawa had told him to say earlier.

Nagumo gave a glare at the man, finding him...creepy. Something was off about him, probably just the way he smiled. It just rubbed him the wrong way. So, he slapped his hand away, before crossing his arms and having a smug look on his face.

"Haruya Nagumo. Don't forget the name or I'll make sure to burn a mark of it somewhere on you." He said with a devilish smirk.

"He doesn't mean it," Suzuno commented as he quietly went to Nagumo's side. And, unlike the other, he had taken Gran's hand to shake. "Fuusuke Suzuno. Hiroto, right?"

The alien nodded. "Yes. You are friends of Ryuuji's?"

"He doesn't know about us, Ryuuji?" Suzuno asked while turning to their green haired friend.

"Um, well...I haven't told him yet..." He replied a bit flustered.

It wasn't easy to tell an alien his life story within a couple of days. Sure they were each curious of each other, but telling him that he was an orphan wasn't something that was brought up. Nor the fact that his friends were orphans to, they had been since they were children. This was something he figured he'd have to tell Gran once they left. That alien could be far more curious than expected.

"You can't even tell this guy about us? And I thought I was heartless." Nagumo rolls his eyes, not really meaning that.

"I will! I just...a lot has been happening lately..." Midorikawa sighed as he looked between them all. "Anyway...since you're here, I guess you'll want to stay for dinner?"

"No, we shouldn't impo-"

"Of course! We'd love to."

Suzuno glared at Nagumo, while the latter just had a grin on his face (one screaming 'fight me about this in front of Midorikawa and his new friend').

"I never thought I'd see two humans get along so well." Gran commented, which actually made the two visitors glare at him in response to that.

"We don't." They replied instantly and in unison, although Suzuno raised a brow rather than keep a glare on that man. Midorikawa held back a laugh while heading to the kitchen. He was grateful the two had decided to visit and he really, really hoped that dinner would go...smoothly.

~...~

"I just managed to make enough, so...I hope you all enjoy it." Midorikawa said just as he set the last plate down for himself. Before him, and the others seated at the kitchen table, was a plate filled with rice, a few slices of chicken, and curry poured over it all.

"Thank you, Ryuuji!" Suzuno and Nagumo chimed simultaneously. Suzuno ignored the glare that was given to him. And seeing that he was being ignored, Nagumo just took the hot sauce (every one knew he loved spicy food, so Midorikawa had set that out earlier for him) to add some more spice to his meal.

"Thank you, Ryuuji," Gran said afterwards, wanting to have his voice to not intermingle with the others. It took him a moment to start eating, simply (observing) watching how the humans ate at first. Although, it was difficult to determine the right way since each had their own style of going at the food. Midorikawa mixed everything, Suzuno tried to eat things separately, one at a time, and Nagumo just shoveled whatever he could into his mouth. So, he found it safe to eat how Midorikawa went about it.

"Do you like it G- Hiroto?" Midorikawa asked after he noticed him take the first bite. He made a mental note to call him by Hiroto rather than Gran while having guests around.

"I...love it." The alien smiled after testing that first bite. "Its far better than breakfast."

"Of course this is better than any breakfast," Nagumo butts in. "It's like the best thing to eat. Any time."

"You wouldn't be saying that if you had to eat it every day," Suzuno adds. "But, I have to admit, you're cooking is absolutely amazing, Ryuuji."

"Oh, thanks." Midorikawa smiles, a slight blush appearing on his cheeks to the praise.

"Could be better if it were naturally spicier..." Nagumo mumbles and receives a harsh nudge to his ribs from Suzuno. "Okay! It's pretty...good."

"Please don't fight so much here..." Midorikawa mumbles, hoping nothing would escalate from the two. Luckily, since the two had matured (somewhat) they haven't been getting into as many big fights. Occasionally there was one, but compared to how they were when they were younger, things were much more tame now.

"Oh please, we're not going to wreck your home." Nagumo rolls his eyes. And then he finds himself looking to Gran. "Anyway, don't know why you're here." He points his fork at Gran for a moment before sticking it back into his food. "Who are you to Ryuuji anyway? Think we would have heard about you by now. Especially if you were his lover or something."

"Lover?" Gran raises a brow to that.

"H-He's not that!" Midorikawa was quick to deny that, though it didn't stop his face from heating up. "He's just a friend! A new one...very recent."

"Oh?" Suzuno has a curious look. "Then how did you meet? Last I knew you rarely went out and mingled with others unless Osamu accompanied you."

"Well..." Midorikawa started, hoping to think of something quick, but then someone else answers.

"We met in the woods." Gran answers, finding it the best to answer truthfully. Of course while excluding the whole alien information out. "I was...lost and needed help. If it weren't for Ryuuji...I don't know where I'd be right now."

"Yes..." Midorikawa nods and looks to Suzuno. "I heard someone calling for help and well...the next thing I knew I was helping Hiroto out of the woods and it sort of...took off from there."

"Kind of weird to be just wandering around in the woods..." Nagumo comments under his breath.

"I heard it was a good spot to see the stars. And I enjoy looking up at the night sky. I suppose I should have planned things better." Gran said softly.

"Looking at the stars as a hobby?" Suzuno inquires.

"Yes. I enjoy seeing the different stars and finding patterns amongst them. It is interesting what you can find while searching through the sky...through a telescope." Gran adds that bit, hoping that he was still sounding human.

"Pfft. What a star nerd."

"Haruya...stop with the comments." Suzuno sighed, shaking his head while looking to Gran. "Anyway, sounds fun. I could never get into something like that. But its nice to know that Ryuuji found another person obsessed with the night sky. I'm surprised he isn't working with us."

"What do you do?" Gran asks, more aimed towards Suzuno and Nagumo considering he knew of Midorikawa's secretary position.

"It's top secret and we're not telling you anything!" Nagumo was quick to respond to that with a smirk playing on his face.

"They work where I do," Midorikawa answered. "Just...well, like Haruya said, top secret. Even I don't know what they do. I doubt anyone knows besides them and their coworkers."

"It's a shame we can't talk about it, but rules are rules...and I'm surprised this one," Suzuno points to Nagumo, "hasn't broken that one yet."

"I'm not stupid, okay?" Nagumo rolls his eyes. "Anyway, I'm bored of all this business-y talk. I say we play some games!"

"You are such a child, Haruya...But, we can't stay. Maybe during the weekend or something, we can."

"You're really no fun, Fuusuke..."

"If you do decide to come, please give me a warning..." Midorikawa says. "At least then I can be a little more prepared..."

~...~

"They are...an interesting combination," Gran comments once Suzuno and Nagumo have left Midorikawa's home. "And they are your friends."

"Yeah." Midorikawa lets out a sigh to relax now that they're gone. As much as he liked the two, they could easily drain his energy. "I'm glad you...got along with them tonight." That's how it looked anyway. Although it was obvious Nagumo didn't like him (but he had to remind himself Nagumo didn't like people right off the bat), Suzuno seemed to have been left with a good first impression.

"I wouldn't mind seeing them again." Gran said with a smile. "Will I?"

"Most likely...they do like to drop in like that. Unexpectedly. Anyway, I'm going to clean up a bit before calling it a night. Is there anything else you want?"

Gran shook his head. "No, thank you. I can help you clean up if you'd like? You shouldn't be the only one to wash those dishes."

"A little help won't hurt as they say...Alright."

a/n: do your best, I didn't intend for it to actually be onesided SagiMido haha;; I always imagined Saginuma as the overprotective big bro especially towards Midorikawa, but I guess it could be taken that way.

AlieaGakuenAliens, I'm doing good, thanks! x3

Other notes, I guess, I hope this chapter doesn't seem to awkward since I'm not exactly a 'pro' at writing so many characters in one scene. And I put up a poll on my profile, figuring I might as well put a note here to just say...check it out? It is inazuma related and it'll help me decide what to write next since I do want to get into more multichapter fics like this. See if any of them interest you and if you can leave a vote, I'd greatly appreciate it~
