n“…am…hey…Sam!”

nHaving heard his name being called, the boy’s eyes slowly opened.

n“Jeez, you shouldn’t be sleeping in a place like this!”

nLooking up he saw a little girl no older than twelve. Her pure white hair was so long it almost touched the ground. Her eyes were crimson, the color of blood. The strange combination gave her an uncanny beauty, one that was very difficult to ignore.

n“Ali…ce?” The boy muttered with a hoarse voice. His throat was dry making a glass of water the thing he desired the most right now.

n“Yes, the one and only.” The girl said with a proud smile. “Anyways, you’ll catch a cold if you fall asleep here. Your parents will get angry again.”

nAs he listened absentmindedly the boy looked around him trying to get a sense of his surroundings. He was in a garden covered in bushes and grass with trees surrounding the area like a fence. On his lap was a thick book so his guess was that he had fallen asleep while reading under the shade of a tree.

n“Quantum physics for beginners.” The white haired girl said, leaning beside him to read the title of the book. “Whoa… no wonder you fell asleep.”

n“No, the weather is just nice so I took a nap.” He said, getting up and stretching his limbs.

n“You mean to tell me you understand those things?” She asked, and when he nodded in response she backed away as her face grew pale. “Are you really seven years old?”

nSeeing her reaction the boy felt a bit offended.

n“I don’t want to hear that from you, miss I’m good at anything and everything.”

n“I might be good at my studies but I know I will never understand anything in that book.” The girl replied, having sensed that she had angered him a little. “Yeah! I meant that Sam is really amazing for understand something so difficult! Really amazing!”

n“… really?”

n“Yes!” Reaching out with her small hand she patted his head and added. “I’m sure you’ll grow up to be an amazing scientist!”

nThe boy’s mood improved on the spot, but his face was heating up for some reason. Just when he was about to ask her to stop patting him the two heard a loud beeping sound.

n“… I must go.” The girl said after looking at the small watch on her hand.

n“Another check up?” The boy asked. “It’s happening a lot more these days, even though you look just fine.”

n“Right!? I never feel bad but father still insists that he checks on me.” The girl sighed. “He says I won’t grow up unless we do it everyday.”

nSeeing how bothered she was, the boy looked down at the book in his hands and thought for a moment.

n“Maybe I should study biology instead.” He said.

nThe girl had a sickness of some sort and it had something to do with the gene that gave her white hair and red eyes. Her father was an amazing scientist doing his best to find a way to cure the genetic disease, however from the looks of it he has yet to make any significant progress.

nThe boy wanted nothing more than to help his precious friend, that’s why he decided to dedicate himself to science from a young age. However he was afraid he won’t make it in time at this rate.

n“I’m sure you can do very good no matter what you choose.” The white haired girl said with an understanding smile. “Then, see you tomorrow.”

nWaving her hand she then turned around and walked away. The boy watched her go silently, his eyes locked on the long white hair.

n~◇~

nWhen he opened his eyes Sam still felt somewhat exhausted. He didn’t know how long he had slept but from the looks of it it hadn’t been that long.

nAs his brain booted up he began to feel something pressing against his left side. When he turned his head to check he saw a white haired sleeping beauty using his chest as a pillow while wrapping her arms around his waist.

nStill a bit dizzy he lifted the blanket and saw that they were both naked. Just then he began to recall everything that happened the previous night and his whole body tremblex.

nThey went at it for nine rounds and if he hadn’t passed out he was sure they would’ve gone for more. Not even his ex was able to achieve that much in a single night.

nAlice was able to bring out the beast inside him resulting in some really intense stuff. His head wasn’t in the right place to begin with, however the pleasure he experienced made things worse, that was probably the reason why he didn’t hesitate to cream her each and every time.

nThis is bad… Sam thought, getting up and sitting on the bedside.

nWhile he was happy that he finally had his chance with his childhood crush, now he would have to face the problems that will definitely come with it. For starters, the likelihood that he had just impregnated her. Not only does it mean that she would be discharged for failing to uphold the rules despite being the base’s commander, but his position would be threatened as well since the only reason he got it is because of her recommendation. It’s easy to guess what people will think if it gets out that they are together.

nThen there is her father to consider. Alice was Sam’s neighbor and their families were on really good term, however if there is one thing he remembers about her father then it was how over-affectionate and overprotective he was.

nHe remembered his mother making a joke about saving Alice for him so the two can get married once they’re old enough. While he was happy about it at first, once he saw the scowl Alice’s father showed as he said it was too early to talk about such things he realized the situation might be helpless.

nSo that’s what the dream was about… he thought, holding a hand to his head as he felt a slight headache.

nThough he never got to learn the specifics, at some point the disease Alice suffered from when whe she was little was cured. Apparently the main symptom was that it halted her growth resulting in an early death, however seeing how she had become such a stunning adult woman it was clear that her father did a really good job.

n“Guess I will need to discuss things with him sometime soon.” Sam sighed, reaching out to grab his phone from atop the drawer. “I hope he doesn’t kill me.”

nA second later Sam’s eyes went wide. Looking at the small screen he noticed that it was already 10:30, but that wasn’t what rang the danger bells in his head. There was a message notification waiting to be opened and the sender was none other than Kurokami Shizuru.
