Chapter Text
-So you're not going out with us today?" asked someone on the other end of the phone line.
-No... I'm feeling a bit tired, next time," he answered while yawning.
-All right, Ataru, but next time you'll have to go," replied the other voice.
-Don't worry Shinobu, I will, I promise, and tell that idiot Mendo to stop complaining, next time I'll go out with you," replied Ataru with some annoyance.
-Well, it's a done deal, bye," Shinobu said with a chuckle, while in the background Mendo could be heard saying goodbye as well.
Ataru hung up the phone and sighed, finally, peace. He took his instant ramen and continued eating his dinner with his characteristic speed. When he finished he washed and cleaned up his mess and went to his bedroom, there he settled his futon and went to bed, he wasn't lying when he said he was sleepy. Quickly, he fell fast asleep.
But after he had been sleeping peacefully for a long time, he suddenly felt too cold, something covered him and he couldn't breathe. Quickly he tried to get out, but his face hit a round object... Very soft, that confused him for a moment, softness, and why was it so cold, he dared to touch that something and heard the female moan, immediately he moved away scared and blushing to see that it was a girl wearing a kimono, hair colour... Ice? And purple eyes, she was beautiful, that made him blush more.
That girl finally looked at Ataru, and started to get red as her heart was racing, he was... Pretty cute, she thought, plus she was embarrassed to have barged in on him just as he was sleeping. She got up covering her face with and headed to the wardrobe to get in there, once inside she just closed it.
Ataru was totally perplexed by what had just happened, he went to the wardrobe and when he opened it, all he found was snow and more snow. He immediately decided to pinch himself to see if he was dreaming, but when he felt pain, he could confirm that what had just happened was totally real.
[...]
It was just the same for the mystery girl, she was still blushing and her heart was just calming down. Immediately her ladies-in-waiting arrived.
-My queen Oyuki, we heard the rumbling, what happened?" asked one.
-Don't worry, I'm fine. My brother unintentionally caused that noise and I got scared and teleported without my own will," explained Oyuki, "so you can go back to your bedrooms," she ordered.
-As my queen says," they all said to leave.
Oyuki when she was left alone sat slowly on her bed, the memory of that boy came back to her mind... She was not used to see men because in her planet they are scarce, therefore, she had never had a partner or at least, she has never been interested in a boy... But when she saw that boy, her heart started to beat just remembering him. Oyuki made up her mind and decided to go back, she wanted to see him again.
[...]
Ataru felt cold again in his room, it took him a minute to realize that this meant that the girl was back, he immediately sat down on his futon seeing her standing in front of him.
-She... She's back!" Ataru thought happily.
Oyuki for her part would crouch down and start crawling towards him, standing inches away from his face, staring into his eyes with a lot of sensuality. Ataru was quite nervous, it was the first time he had a girl so close to him and in his own room, he would swallow saliva and speak.
-It's you again..." He just said in a low voice.
Oyuki smiled as she blushed, Ataru thought that was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen, she started to get up to leave before they noticed her absence, but Ataru would stop her as she spoke again.
-Wait... What is your name?" she asked curiously.
Suddenly a blizzard like snowstorm started in her room, the mysterious woman slowly entered the wardrobe and before closing it she said.
-My name is... Oyuki," she answered and finally disappeared.
-Oyuki... What a pretty name," Ataru whispered to himself, "Where is she from?" he wondered.
Forgetting important details like the fact that she came into his room bringing snow with her, and that she even came in from the wardrobe and disappeared right there. Ataru would simply go to sleep once more, wishing to see that girl again.
[...]
A new day had finally begun in the Tomobiki district, and our protagonist whose name is Ataru Moroboshi, was walking distractedly to the high school, the beautiful girl named Oyuki was in his thoughts and did not come out of there, to the point that that day he simply did not try to have a date with any girl, missing a little to everyone who were already used to him being a womanizer who tried to flirt with several girls a day. When he arrived at the institute, his two best friends saw him and approached him to say hello, although it was not lost on them that he was on cloud nine.
-Is something wrong, Ataru?" Shinobu asked curiously.
-You haven't picked up any girls since you got here, don't tell me you don't like them now," Mendo joked, laughing at him.
-Of course not!" He answered at once, a bit annoyed with his friend for assuming something like that. "The truth is that in my thoughts there is a girl..." Ataru confessed.
-Only one? Then she must be very special!" Shinobu exclaimed.
-You're right, let's see Moroboshi confess, who is she?" asked Mendo curiously.
-Well... Yesterday I woke up because a girl with very white skin, purple eyes and hair like ice came through my wardrobe bringing snow with herself, then she left, I pinched myself to know if I was dreaming, but I felt pain," explained Ataru, "later that night, she came back and I asked her name... She answered me that she was Oyuki," he finished speaking.
Mendo and Shinobu looked at him strangely, Ataru was not the kind of man to be captivated by a woman like that, therefore, she must be too pretty, even so, it's most likely a dream. There is no girl who could captivate our protagonist like that.
-You must have been dreaming, and it seems that it was realistic enough that the pinch didn't work," said Shinobu.
-It wasn't a dream, that actually happened!" exclaimed Ataru.
-Come on Moroboshi, it's impossible for a girl like the one you describe to exist, that's why we're telling you that it was just a dream," Mendo spoke this time.
-Sure, if you say so," said Ataru giving them the reason not to continue arguing about it. I know that it wasn't a dream and that she is real..." He thought encouraging himself.
He was looking forward to seeing her again, even more because that girl seemed interested in him... And come on, she was a total beauty, anyone would be a fool and a fool if he didn't try to have something with her.
Ataru was anxious all day, he was waiting for bedtime quite urgently, when classes were over, he simply said goodbye and ran home, when he got there, he ordered food for his dinner, did some cleaning in his room after dinner and went to sleep a little earlier than usual... If last night happened again, he had to arrive in the early hours of the morning. Slowly, he closed his eyes and in time, he fell completely asleep....
[...]
Again, it was too cold in his room, and he could swear there was a strong blizzard inside his room, he immediately sat up and could see her... Standing right in front of him, she looked like she just came out of her wardrobe.
-You still haven't told me your name," Oyuki mentioned. As he asked, she slowly sat down in front of Ataru, shyly because she didn't know how to act.
-I'm... Ataru," he answered mesmerized by Oyuki's beauty, he shook his head and took out his notebook and pencil that were under his pillow, "Could you give me your phone number and address? So we could arrange a date," asked Ataru with his typical confident smile.
-Huh?" Said Oyuki a bit surprised, but then she let out a small laugh while blushing a little bit "Okay... My number is 08#820481 and my address is Right Ascension 23 h 43 m 14 s | Declination -3° 7′ 26" She said shyly with a smile.
Ataru would be puzzled, what did she mean by that address, was she teasing him and didn't want to go on a date with him?
-Are you... Giving me false information?" Ataru asked.
-Fake data?" Oyuki would ask, "Of course not, with that data you can get to Neptune, since I come from there," he said with a smile.
-From Neptune?" Ataru would be shocked as he dropped his pencil in shock.
He started to fill with fear, he was so distracted by the beauty of... Oyuki, that he didn't stop at any moment to think that this was all VERY strange, a girl coming from her wardrobe, bringing snow, with hair like ice, all that screamed that this girl was not from this world, and for her to say she's from Neptune, was starting to make sense to Ataru. Oyuki, seeing her reaction, decided to ask.
-Is there something wrong with that fact?" She asked with a bit of concern that she had messed things up.
But Ataru just kept quiet because he was concentrated in his thoughts. Oyuki wiped off her smile and stood up, maybe he wasn't ready for such a talk and she rushed, she opened the wardrobe door while a blizzard appeared due to her sadness. Ataru reacts to the blast that had occurred in his room and immediately exclaimed.
-I hope to see you again," Oyuki just smiled and calmed down hearing that request.
-You will," was the last thing he said before closing the wardrobe door and finally leaving.
Ataru was surprised, he never imagined he would ever meet an alien, moreover, he never even thought there was life outside the planet Earth. A yawn came out of our protagonist and he gladly went to sleep.
[...]
The morning had begun and Ataru was very cheerful, he dressed up, got dressed and finally went out to the street, luckily for him, that day there was no class due to a refurbishment to the institute, so he went immediately to an arcade to entertain himself and pass the time quickly.
On the other hand, our beautiful queen of Neptune was doing some business paperwork about some Neptunian products, but her mind was somewhere else, she thought that now that she knew his name... Which was Ataru, she would go to visit him every night she could, although of course, for now she would keep her visits secret.
-I already want it to be night to see him..." Thought both Ataru and Oyuki synchronously.
The afternoon ended rather quickly due to the time he dedicated to the arcade, when he left the place, he decided to go and have a bowl of veal for dinner. His way was quiet, once again everyone was surprised and surprised that Moroboshi wasn't flirting with any girl. Ataru finally arrived at his destination and ordered several bowls, when he was finally satisfied, he decided to go home, realizing that it was already 8 pm.
Once there, he entered in the solitude of his house, he still didn't understand why he asked for rent to this place that had two rooms and 2 bathrooms, I guess he just didn't think about how lonely he was really going to feel in a big house, he sighed and entered, he decided to watch TV for a while so he could get over the anxieties of seeing her again.
But it was 10 pm and Ataru still didn't feel sleepy, he decided to go to sleep to see if maybe he could rest once and for all, however, great was his surprise that, already settled in his futon, he couldn't sleep, he was tossing and turning and he simply couldn't sleep because of how anxious he was.
11:00 p.m.
12:00 a.m.
01:00 a.m.
02:00 a.m.
And Ataru found himself with a terrible insomnia, he counted sheep, he tried to stay a long time without opening his eyes, to relax and not think about anything, but that didn't seem to work at least for today. Ataru sighed tired of the long night, however, his spirits returned when he started to feel cold, he immediately sat on his futon and saw her... The girl coming out of the wardrobe of his room, she smiled sweetly when she saw him.
-Oyuki! I'm glad to see you again..." he said shyly.
The woman was moved by the tenderness that caused her to see the young man's reaction when she had arrived, but even so, she had her doubts and wanted him to solve them.
-It doesn't bother you that I'm an alien?" she asked shyly.
-Of course I don't mind, it actually makes it a bit more interesting," Ataru confessed quickly out of nervousness.
Oyuki sighed in relief, and decided to sit down to talk more calmly and comfortably with Ataru.
-Well, I must confess that in fact... I'm not just any alien, but, I'm the actual queen of Neptune," said Oyuki.
Ataru was surprised with what the woman had said, Queen of Neptune? No wonder she was so beautiful. But precisely that raised doubts and questions in his mind.
-So... Why would someone as important as you... end up in my wardrobe?" He asked as politely as possible.
-Well... It was an accident, that night my brother had scared the shit out of me and I inadvertently teleported myself..." He explained.
-Well, it was the best accident that could have happened to me," Ataru thought as he remembered that night he touched her breasts and that his face was actually on them. A perverted smile had let out drawing Oyuki's attention.
-Is something wrong?" He asked innocently.
-Huh? -Ataru reacted, "No, no, nothing hehehehe" He laughed nervously and blushed.
-Well... I have something to tell you," said a bit serious Oyuki.
-What is it?" Ataru asked.
-I won't be able to come for 3 days because I'll be busy with some business on my planet..." Oyuki mentioned a bit sadly.
-For 3 days?" He said thoughtfully, "How about if I prepare some special Earth food for you on that day? Then it will be even more worth the wait," he said with a small smile.
Oyuki would be surprised by what Ataru proposed, but then he smiled sweetly as he got up to go to his planet again.
-I think it's a great idea," she said as a soft breeze started to blow through the room at the same time she was opening the wardrobe and went inside, "Then... I'll be looking forward to it," Oyuki said with a smile, "See you... Ataru," she said goodbye to close the wardrobe.
The young man had reached to say goodbye with his hand, a silly smile didn't disappear from his face... That space girl, who wasn't just any woman because she was even the queen of Neptune, was interested in him, it seemed like a dream come true... Ataru again settled on his futon, but this time, he could sleep peacefully.
