Just Another Day in a New Highschool

Day 4-2 - Another Housemate

We’re travelling back in time!... to the time (Y/n) left the house, Also Scarlet's POV,

After waving goodbye to my dear (Y/n)-kun, I’m starting my usual morning routine, which involves cleaning up his room, making a lunch for myself, doing laundry, and sniffing (Y/n)-kun’s underwear. As I just finished cleaning his room, I heard a door knock. Like any good big sister would, I reach the front door and open it. There I saw a little girl wearing a frilly black dress while wearing a cute hat.

“Excuse me, miss?” The little girl spoke, “If it’s alright with you, can I hide here? I don’t want them to find me…”

“May I ask why?” I asked,

“I can explain later, just please hide me..!” The girl start panicking as she looked behind, pleading while clamping her hands together. After some thought, Scarlet steps aside and let the girl run into the house. After closing the door, she then leads the girl for a place to hide, that is until another door knock was heard, which she leaves the girl and head back to the front door. This time she was greeted with a police officer, one that she’s unfamiliar with.

“Excuse me, ma’am. We’re from the Global Police (C/n) Branch. While we know that you did thievery few weeks ago, we’re not here to discuss any of that.” The officer said, making me winch from that line,  “We have report that a missing person known as Alice Victoria has been spotted around Kogitsune Street. Have you seen her?” He continued while showing a picture of the very same girl I just hid.

“I’m sorry, sir, but I don’t know who she is, and didn’t see her. I was busy with my housework that I never pay any attention to the news.” I said while giving him a soft smile.

“I see. We shall look for her in another place. Thank you for your time.” The officer then tips his hat and leaves. After closing the door, I went to check the girl, who was hiding inside an empty wardrobe.

“It’s alright, you can come out now.” I said, and the girl gently jumps out of the wardrobe. She then bows while sobbing,

“Thank you, thank you! I’ve been trying to get away from the Paparazzis and News Reporters, thank you so much!” She said while still sobbing. I don’t know why, but I give her a hug and gently caress her hair. I guess my Big Sis instinct just kicked in.

“Shh, don’t worry. You can stay here as long as you like, well that is if my sweet (Y/n)-kun lets you.” I assure her,

“(Y/n)-kun?” She tilts her head,

“He’s the actual owner of this house. I’m just his Big Sis that lives here.”

“O-okay. But what if he report the police that I’m here?” She asked fearfully,

“I assure you that he will not do such thing. Now how about I give you a bath, you must haven’t take one for so long~” And after which she nods happily, knowing that her days as a pop idol is going to end, and her days as a normal girl will begin.

Back to the Futu- I mean Present, Third Person POV,

“So let me get this straight, you took her in and hide her from the police, because she wants to get away from the media?” (Y/n) asked Scarlet after hearing her entire explanation, while Alice herself is munching some cookies,

“Yep, are you mad, (Y/n)-kun?” Scarlet said while making a puppy eyes, which he sighs,

“Actually, yes, but if Alice’s explanation is true, then I guess I could let her stay here.” Alice eyes suddenly lit up in hope,

“R-really, mister?!”

“But first, I have to talk to a friend of mine. And no, she’s not from the police.” He said while scratching his head, which Alice suddenly hugs him,

“T-thank you very much, sir! I promise I will repay your kindness someday!”

“Yeah yeah, just try not to mess my house much.” And (Y/n) then pats her head and goes upstairs, before getting stopped by Scarlet,

“Are you sure about this? She might inform her to the higher-ups.”

“Relax, I can do this. Just trust me.” Scarlet then removes her hand and lets him go upstairs. After arriving and closing the door, he starts a call on someone, someone from the Global Police…

Later,

“So let me get this straight, she took her in and hide her from the police, because she wants to get away from the media?” Tsukasa said in disbelief,

“I know, right? I then listen to Alice’s story and it gets worse. Whatever kind of weird stuff these staffs are doing, I’m glad she’s with me right now.” There was a pause for about 20 seconds, before Tsukasa spoke,

“I’ll inform the higher ups to investigate her staffs, but as for Alice herself, I’ll report that she’s under capable hands. Trust me, he will understand.” She said, giving (Y/n) a sigh of relief.

“Thanks for your help, even during this late.”

“No need for thanks. After all, you've been taking care of Scarlet rather well, so the same will happen with you and Alice.” And she ends the call. Sighing, (Y/n) lays on the bed and ponders,

‘What are the odds of the news somehow finding her here? Does she have any parents? Do her parents know her situation? I guess I should ask her later…’

Then, a light knock was heard,

“Come in!”

And the door opens revealing Alice, who is holding a small paper bear on her hand,

“Mister (Y/n), can I sleep with you? I’m having bad dreams since I ran away, and it scares me…” She said while clenching her bear,

“Sure, hop on.” He pats the bed which Alice then lay on. After covering her with a blanket, he turn off the desk lamp, “Night, kid.”

“Good night… Papa…” And she falls asleep, this time in peace. After sleeping at the street for a long time, she’s able to get some good sleep. Meanwhile (Y/n), who just heard the last bit, has his eyes widened,

‘Did she just called me… Papa?!’
