Juno was relaxing outside on her favorite spot in the courtyard reading her book. Leon walked out of the school and sat next to her.

"Hey. What are you reading?"

"Some anime manga of a wolf superhero saving the city." Juno explains as she shows him.

Leon was interested in it and looked closely with her as she explained the story to him. They laughed a few times in a few pages and stayed close together till they reached the last page of the book.

"Hey um, you want to do something tonight in the city?" Leon asked.

"Well, we do have plenty of time before curfew. Sure why not?" Juno says with a smile.

They both headed out of the school grounds as they headed to the subway station to the city. During the ride, Leon was looking out the window to see the beautiful landscapes as the sun started to go down a little. It was awkward for a minute until Juno tried to break the ice for them.

"So, what do we like to do first when we get there?" She asked.

"Not sure. Is the ramen shop at the main market a great place for you?" Leon asked.

"Oh yes. That place sells great ramen there. Let's go there." Juno says with excitement.


As the subway train comes to a complete stop at the station. The duo headed into the city as they walked together in the city and headed to the ramen shop to order.

"There are many choices here." Juno says as she looks at the menu.

"Yeah, Should try that one." Leon suggested it for her.

"Yeah. That one I should get." Juno says.

After they ordered two bowls. They sat down and chowed down, mostly Leon, since he was still recovering from lack of hunger and felt satisfied with a filled stomach of good hot ramen.

"Hey, slow down. It's not going anywhere." Juno says as she giggles.

"Sorry. It's just been hard since I've been trying to eat something that has protein since it's hard to eat meat around here." Leon explains.

"I've been having that problem too. Just because we need to coexist with herbivores and laws of eating meat is strictly forbidden." Juno explains as she ate some noodles out of her plate.

"Life here is really different and confusing." Leon says as he finishes his bowl.

"What was life like in your world?" Juno says with curiosity.

"It's like this world of society. Humans like me run a society together for the future of life. However, not everyone has the life they wanted." Leon explains

"Is it really cruel?" Juno asked.

"Life is never perfect. Humanity hurts their own kind because of free will. Even though there are some individuals that are good and moral. People hurt me everyday when I started highschool. " Leon added.

"You've been bullied too?" Juno asked.

"Yes. People mistreated me at my old school as an outcast just because I was a smart nerd in my grades and academics. I never had friends while growing up." Leon explains.

Juno felt complete sympathy for what he told her in his old life and tried to open up to him.

"I was bullied too." Juno confesses.

"Why's that?" Leon asked.

"Just because I'm a carnivore. Wolves are commonly bullied by others, mainly herbivores. They called me a future murderer and a heartless cannibal." Juno explained as she looked down.

"You are never a heartless cannibal. You are a beautiful wolf girl in my eyes and... I have feelings for you. Ever since I saw you." Leon confesses.

"You actually liked me?" Juno asked while deeply surprised.

"You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." Leon says with a smile.

Juno blushed heavily and grabbed his hand and held it tightly and gave Leon a kiss on the lips. Leon heavily blushed and didn't know what to say back to her.

It was the moment Leon received the girl of his dreams and Juno loved him back. They finished their meals and had a time together in the city of fur. They headed to the park and watched the sunset together as it dipped behind the skyscrapers of the city.

The both hugged side by side as they had their love started to grow between them.

Later during the evening, They both headed back to Cherryton academy together before curfew.

"That was an amazing night." Juno spoke.

"Yeah, you want to do it again sometime?" Leon asked.

"I really do anytime with you." Juno answers with a smile.

"See you in class tomorrow." Leon says.

"See ya tomorrow Leon." Juno says before they kiss.

Leon headed back to his dorm room happily as he enjoyed his new life and had Juno in his arms. He started to see that living in an alternative world isn't so bad after all.
