A Japanese Weresheep in Mutsuba Town
Author's Note: Time for a new pairing! Enjoy the story and R&R.

Pairing: Developing Yuhi x Chupataro.
Summary:
There are some forms of alien activity even MIK turns a blind eye to. The truly alien activity between Chupataro and Ohdo Yuhi, for instance.
Chapter 135: Galactica Reminiscence
"Yuhi? Are you off to Chupataro-kun's again?" Yuamu caught her brother as he was putting on his yellow jacket to leave.
"N-no! I promised Tazaki-san I'd pick something up for him at the shopping mall!" Yuhi was doing a poor job of convincing her. I mean, today's Sunday! And Chupataro and I are goin' out, so…Is it really that big of a deal?
"I'm disappointed in you, Yuhi-kun," the President of UTS tsked.
"W-what for?"
"If you're going to lie, at least come up with an alibi that's not so easily disprovable."
"Disprovable?"
"Tazaki-san!"
"Yes, President? What can I do for you?" Tazaki came in from the garden, hoe across his shoulder.
"Did Yuhi promise to pick something up for you at the shopping mall?"
"Bocchama? Can't say he did."
"Ha ha ha! What're you, half-asleep, Tazaki-san? Dontcha remember? Ya needed me to pick up that super important, special crate of…g-gardening tools! Yeah, gardening tools from the mall!" Yuhi desperately nudged the old man in the ribs, which couldn't have been good for him.
"I'm sincerely sorry, but I don't have recollection of that, Yuhi-bocchama." Tazaki wasn't getting Yuhi's hints, hence his answer was a truthful one.
"That settles it, then. Yuhi's lying about not going to Chupataro-kun's."
"That's –! I'm not goin' to Chupataro's! I'm really on my way to the shopping mall!"
"To meet Chupataro-kun, right?"
"Eee! We aren't –! He's not –!"
"Yuhi, nibble and squeak any more and people will call you a hamster."
"Agh! Don't I have a right to go where I wanna go on my own time? Jeez, Yuamu!"
"Of course you do. I was merely asking to check where you're headed." She smiled. "Hey, I bet you just thought 'If I marry Chupataro in the future, I'll be able to see him every day without Yuamu badgering me, won't I?' or something like that, huh?"
"YUAMU!"
"I'm joking! I'm joking!" Yuamu flapped her wrist. "Maybe."
"GAHHHK!" Yuhi impacted the hardwood face-first. His sister was just adding insult to injury!
"Go enjoy yourselves. I want that for you, big brother."
"Really?"
"And while you're at it, grab the cleaning on your way back!"
Should've known there was a catch. Even on her employees' days off, Yuamu couldn't relax her compulsive demand to maximize productivity and profitability.
She wasn't a taskmaster of Oppressed Ants in general, but she could be to her brother.
"Yes…"
"Why the attitude, Yuhi-kun? How'll you move up in the world?"
"UTS."
…
Yuhi browsed around as Chupataro ate his yakitori with sauce, turning his head back repeatedly to snap at Chupataro so he didn't ditch his used skewers everywhere.
"Are you Chupa's boyfriend, or Chupa's probation worker, chupa?"
"All I expect is for ya not to litter. That makes me more lenient than MIK, doesn't it?"
"What do you want? A gold star, chupa?"
"My 'boyfriend' being nicer to me would be great…"
"Chupa only guarantees Chupa will be nice to Chupa's beloved Meeeg-chan, cabra!"
"I don't know anyone who loves Meeeg-chan more than you."
"Is the Earth boy jealous, chupa?"
"I'm not…jealous. I'm confused what I'm doin' here. Where did all this come from?"
"Where? You're the sucker who took Chupa's phone call and showed up to the park dressed as Meeeg-chan, chupa!"
"I still don't get why I did that. I still don't get why I'm out with an ugly alien who I know is lyin' to me!"
"This again, chupa? Are humans hardwired to hate aliens, cabra?"
"Ya just called me a sucker! And it isn't like you're gonna give up Meeeg-chan to be with a human! You wouldn't choose me over her!"
In response to that, Chupataro leaned over to kiss Yuhi with tare still on his face, not on the cheek (as on their second date), but clearly inching toward Yuhi's lips.
Yuhi wasn't mistaken. Chupataro wouldn't choose him over Meeeg-chan. Regardless, Zuwijo-sama needed to learn what else Yuhi knew about the Earthdama.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Even shojo manga has more emotional buildup than this!" Yuhi panicked, teeth and gums showing.
"Chupachupachupa. You read those kinds of manga, chupa?"
"No! I was usin' them as an example!"
"Chupa can totally see you taking them off your sister's bookshelf, cabra!"
His scheming unknown to them this few episodes in, the narrator secretly gliding around in the Relic had to concur: Yuhi and Chupataro rushed into things.
The Relic was basically Kuaidul's car.
The conceit for them beginning a relationship was rather flimsy. He likely could've set the scene better, if he weren't so singularly focused on building up Yudias Velgear, the warrior from the far reaches of the galaxy running through the new battlefield called Rush Duels!
He did not dream the one-off one-shot would progress into a full-fledged multi-season space epic stretching from Earth to the Velgear Cluster. That he'd be glued to the screen, tuning in weekly to watch Yuhi and Chupataro duke it out, while he tested and honed the varied executions of his Kartios Project.
"After our second date, Chupa thought we were past this, cabra!"
"Please don't pressure me even harder!"
"Pressure? Who's pressuring, chupa? Chupa stopped when you started getting frightened, didn't Chupa, cabra?"
"Tell that to this sign for zaru soba I'm clingin' to! You've literally got me cornered!"
"You're only cowering in the corner yourself, chupa!"
Now Chupataro was the one who wasn't mistaken. After he backed off from trying to kiss him, there were eight steps' worth of distance between them, and Yuhi was trying to claw himself into the corner even further without realizing it.
"Chupa did it to prove to you you're not so baaaaad~!"
Yuhi turtled up, withdrawing his neck (and blush) into his collar. "Not bad? Me?"
"Chupa!" Chupataro lied. For the moment.
…
"Yuamu, I'm home."
"Welcome back, Yuhi."
"Um…Promise you won't be mad?"
"Hm? I promise I will get mad, because I always do when you make me promise I won't."
"I forgot to grab the cleaning and the cleaners are now closed."
"And I should promote you because…?"
