3 Nebulochaotic

IT WAS NOT the people who make Kairo uncomfortable, it was the way that they stare at him. 'Weird'… he kept on walking not minding the people around him anymore. He reached the bus stop and wait for five more minutes until the bus arrives. His mind was floating into space as he enters the bus and sat near the window.

He can't stop thinking of Seraphina. Her fair complexion, skin that is as smooth as a baby, how the heck is her hair as white as snow, and lastly, her grey eyes. When he saw her eyes it's like they are saying something to him but he does not know what it is. He scolded himself for thinking too much of Seraphina. He should stop.

Moments later the conductor of the bus stood next to him to collect his fee, he took out his wallet and gave his payment but he stayed beside him. In confusion, Kairo looked at the conductor with the what-do-you-want expression on his face. The conductor then tilted his head telling him to take a glance at the seat back at him.

Kairo's eyes widened when he saw Seraphina sitting next to him.

"Is she with you?" asked the conductor. He sighed.

*Did she follow me?* He asked himself. Kairo looked back at the conductor, he fished some money on his wallet to pay for Seraphina's fee. When the conductor left, with confusion in his eyes he looked back at Seraphina who's innocently looking at him. He takes off his eyes from Seraphina and shrugs off the thoughts that maybe she's following her.

Kairo is just one block away from his apartment and when he looked back, there he saw Seraphina who's still tailing him. He kept on telling himself that she's not following him but after he got off from the bus he already saw Seraphina walking behind him. He thought that maybe she's just taking the same path with him but it is not. Surely, she is following him and he knew that there is no way that Seraphina is residing at the same apartment.

Kairo messed his hair and annoyingly clump towards Seraphina.

"Stop following me, will you?" he blurted. But the girl just stared at him with her pair of grey eyes.

He turned his back with frustration that she did not answer him and hurriedly walk upstairs to his apartment floor. He's in front of his door and was about to open it when he felt Seraphina's presence beside him. 'What's wrong with this girl?'

He chooses not to mind her at all and enter his apartment thinking that Seraphina will get tired of following and waiting for him outside and just leave. Kairo tried to ignore the fact that there is a girl outside his doorstep and do things he usually does when he's about to sleep, but his conscience is not leaving him. He's been resting on his sofa bed trying to drove himself to sleep but every time he closes his eyes he still can see Seraphina's innocent grey eyes staring at him.

'She's driving him crazy'. Kairo harshly stood up and walk to his door. He stands still next to his door, doubting if he should open it and let Seraphina stay for tonight or send her away. But he's not that heartless to do that to a clueless girl outside his door. He made up his mind and slowly opens the door. There he saw Seraphina sitting on the floor while hugging her knees with his polo on her shoulders. Guilt plastered on his face when he saw her. He should've not left her in the hallway alone in the cold. Kairo gently tapped Seraphina's shoulder so the girl looked up to her clueless.

"Hey, uhm… would you like to come in?" he asked hesitatingly. 'What kind of question is that Kairo?'

He did not let her answer, he held her wrist and grab her to come into his apartment. Then left her in the middle of his small living room and went to his bed. Kairo decided to let her stay for tonight, then accompany her to the police station first thing in the morning. This is insane you should have not let her in said his brain that's been contradicting his actions.

After fluffing his pillow that he didn't even notice what he was doing, he opened a cabinet and gathered some fresh blankets and bedsheets. This is unusual for Kairo, he does not even let his friends come or do a sleepover at his apartment. But just because of the strange girl who's standing in his living room, he does things that he hasn't done before. 'How ironic.'

Too late for him to realize what he has done. The sofa bed is now neatly clean with freshly changed bedsheets, fluffed pillows, and a new blanket.

He took a glance.

"You can rest at the sofa bed while I'll just… lay here on the floor." He clearly stated but Seraphina didn't even move from where she is standing. With confusion plastered on his face, he walked toward Seraphina and flapped his hand in front of her face. She blinked but does not move.

Assuming that she did not understand the thing he uttered. Kairo started explaining to her with hand gestures. He inhaled deeply before speaking.

"Okay… so you have to lay there…" he pointed at Seraphina then to the bed. After that, he ambles back to the bed and loudly tapped the cushion. "and then close your eye and rest."

Yet there is still no response from her. 'What the fudge is wrong with her? No, she can't be deaf. Wait… is she a madwoman or just stupid?' He doesn't like where his thoughts are going that's why he hardly shook his head. Kairo does not have a choice but to drag Seraphina and lay her on the bed. He wrapped Seraphina in the blanket and gently caress her head that made her close her eyes.

"Goodnight." He mumbles. He turned his back and lay on the floor with his old blanket underneath him then placed his arm behind his head. He glances at Seraphina who's now peacefully sleeping beside him. 'She's beautiful but stupid' he thought before driven to sleep.

Kairo was awoken by the feeling of someone's breath in front of his face. His brows furrowed, thinking that there could be a ghost in front of him. He took a deep breath before slowly opening his eyes. He was astonished by seeing a pair of grey eyes looking intently at him. His eyes widen, Seraphina's face is just an inch far from his and she's sitting on his belly.

"W-what are you doing!" he exclaimed and tries to sit down immediately that cause their forehead to bump each other.

"Aw." He lifts his head when he heard a soft moan from Seraphina. She's stroking her red forehead and bottoms with a cute pouting expression in her face. He then felt guilty by pushing her too hard.

Kairo squatted and lean in front of Seraphina.

"Are you okay?" he asked with a worried tone. He touched her red forehead and gently stroke it. Kairo's gaze was diverted to Seraphina when all of a sudden she grasps his wrist. He stiffened she's now looking at him with a dark face like he did something unpleasant.

Kairo pulled his hand from her grasp immediately stood up. Scared and shocked by Seraphina's stare he found his way to his bathroom. After taking a bath he just wrapped the towel around his waist while some tiny drops of water are falling from his hair. When he comes out of the bathroom he saw Seraphina sitting at the edge of his bed while playing with her hair.

Kairo doesn't mind her at all and continues walking towards his drawer to get some clothes then went back to the bathroom. When he was about to be done putting on her t-shirt he heard his stomach growl. He didn't have his dinner last night and forgot to wake up early to cook for breakfast. He ran out of food and did not bother to buy some groceries since he plans to leave this planet yesterday but he was interrupted by Seraphina.

He's also sure that Seraphina hasn't eaten yet. 'Maybe she's already famished.' by that thought, Kairo glanced at the mirror and quickly got out of the bathroom. Seraphina glance at him. The room was filled with an awkward silence when he remembered her sitting on his belly and her dark face earlier… well for him it was awkward.

"Ah, let's go, we'll eat breakfast outside." He tried his best not stammer. Seraphina excitedly jumped out from his bed and run towards him. She slid her hand around his arm and looked at him with sparkling eyes and a wide smile. He slowly peeked at her and tried to snatch off his arms but she just tightened more her grip still plastering her sweet wide yet creepy smile.

All of a sudden tiny beads of water started to build unto his forehead. The fact that Seraphina's smile is creeping him, Kairo gave her an awkward smile and shrug off the thought of snatching his arm again from her grasp.

"Let's go."

He brought Seraphina to a fast-food chain and ordered a lot of foods for her and when he says a lot he means it. He ordered rice, spaghetti, 2 pieces of chicken, fries, sundae, burgers, and a glass of large coke all for Seraphina while he ordered a double patty burger for himself.

When he was about to take a bit he noticed that Seraphina is not touching her food and just stare at them. His brows furrowed with confusion. 'why is she not eating her food?'

"Are you ok?" he asked. Seraphina nods.

"Uh… you don't like fast foods?" he hesitatingly asked her. Seraphina shook her head and looked at him.

"I d-don't know these foods." Now he's really confused.

*Who in this world would never know what is a fried chicken, spaghetti, burger, fries, etc. is… well unless she's an alien who has a mission to take the world. Goodness Kairo stops thinking of that. *

He sighed and put down his burger. "Ok, listen. This is a fried chicken, fries, burger, and sundae. They are all delicious and safe to eat so… dig in." and that's the cue for Seraphina to try the foods. Seraphina's eyes widen in delight as she takes a bite from the fried chicken.

He stared at Seraphina who's eating happily and savoring every piece of the food that enters her mouth. There's no longer a bad aura coming from her unlike earlier. 'Maybe she's just hungry after all.' he thought then had a bite to his burger.

Kairo cleared his throat to get Seraphina's attention but she's too busy eating to notice him. So he did again but much louder this time yet still no response nor glance from her.

"Seraphina." He called. "After you finished eating, we'll go to the police station to see if someone is looking for you." Seraphina nods without glancing at him.
