The First Flower of Spring

Who Are You?

"What?" I asked as calmly as possible with wide eyes.

"Yes you heard correctly, I love you, and I can't bear to be away from you for more than a nanosecond.

'Is he insane? Who is he? Whoever he is I need to run before I end up on First 48.' I thought as I slip out of his tight grip.

School was over anyways so I ran home and shut the door behind me and ran to my room.

As soon as I hit the bed tears started rolling down my cheeks. Thought of what happened today a flowing through my head like a river. I soon drifted off to sleep.

But then I woke up to hear something breathing in my ear. I look over to see a Golden and black fox breathing loud and heavy rapidly.

I turned over and went right back to sleep.
'I'm hallucinating since I was abruptly woken up' I thought.

As I continued on with my sleep, not even 5 minuets later I was awoken by the same breathing sound but it was more intense. I look over to see the exact same fox.

My eyes widen as much as it can, because now I know that this is no longer a dream. I didn't scream in fear of waking up and it ends up attacking me. Rather, I took a closer inspection at it and found a big slash on its head. I covered my open mouth with sympathy. I slowly get out of the bed to get a first aid kit.

When I came back the fox was still that breathing heavy. I stroked it's back to gently wake it up and it did. I was scared outta my mind when it turned its head to look at me with beautiful golden eyes. Then it's head plopped down on my pillow and I continue to stroke it. I get out the tools so I can tend to its wounds. The fox had little to no reaction when I was treating him. When I was done, I went to go put the kit back, but before I could leave the room, I heard something like a stomach growling. I went back towards him and heard it again. I guess he was hungry.

After I put the first aid kit back I went down to the kitchen to get some food.

'What in the world do foxes eat?' I thought

I ended up getting it some left over chicken legs from last night's dinner. When I opens the door to my room the fox got up with full energy, almost as if he wasn't even on the verge of gasping for air a few minutes ago.

(Gold and black fox)

I walk towards it with the chicken in the plate and placed it in the bed. Within in 3 minuets the fox was done eating.
"You must've been starving" I said while petting behind it's ear and chuckled.

The fox then plopped back on my bed.
"Oh noooo bud, you can't sleep on my bed, not even in my room." I said
The fox the looked at me with a confused look, almost as if it understood what I just said. I just laughed at how cute that was, not giving it a second thought.

I let the fox sleep on the floor with a pillow and a blanket as its little bed. I soon fell asleep too.

Morning

It's Friday morning and school had been canceled today for whatever reason.

I hear the birds chirping as loud as they possibly can this morning and I'm highly annoyed by it cuz it's disturbing my sleep just like that fo-. I was thinking and then I suddenly remembered the fox.

I shoot up out of my bed to see if a fox was really here last night. But I didn't even realize that I didn't get up, because there is a heavy pressure around my waist. My eyes widen fully as my morning brain was still trying to process what is happening.

I look to the right and see a shirtless boy with his arm wrapped around my waist. I squealed and pushed him off the bed. My siblings have already gone to school and my mom was already at work, so it's just me and him.

"WHO ARE YOU?! AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE, IN MY BED, IN MY SWEATPANTS?!!!" I yelled while holding a rolled up magazine, whilst he was still on the ground scratching his head.

As I look at him he looks sorta familiar. Then it hit me and he was getting up. He is the boy that helped me with the whole Mya and her bf situation. And where is that beautiful fox from last night? I was tuned into reality when he cleared his throat.

"Sorry about last night and this morning. Oh and yesterday." He says laughing awkwardly while scratching his head again.

'Last night? What is he talking about?' I thought while arching my eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, my name is Mori. I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself when we first met, or even last night. Actually I've known you way longer than you've known me" He says while still laughing awkwardly. "Oh and thank you for the food and also treating my wound"

'What. Is. He. Talking. About ? Why does he keep talking about last night? I wasn't even with him last night. And what food and woun- wait a minute could he be the fo- . What, no. there's absolutely NO WAY a fox can turn human or vice versa.' I thought to myself.

"Are you... by any chance ... the fox... I helped last night?" I asked with my eyes closed.

"Yup! That's me!" He says smiling brightly.

I start laughing really hard because I thought he was joking. Mori was laughing too, then he suddenly stopped and said " I'm dead serious, do you remember how I told you I loved you?"

As soon as he said "loved" my heart began to race uncontrollably.
