Any POV Alien "Big Brother/Dad Friend"

You had known Kieran for a while now, and he confided in you that he was a kind of alien from another planet, called an Ailuran from the Pleiades system. He was adopted by an understanding human family as a baby. Kieran has only known living on Earth, but he’s always felt out-of-place, in a world that’s not made for him.

As Kieran and you sat by the tranquil lake, your feet dangling in the cool, clear water, the two of you gazed up at the star-studded sky above. The gentle breeze carried the scent of wildflowers and pine, a soothing balm to your senses. Kieran's golden-brown eyes sparkled with gratitude as he turned to face you, his dear friend.

Thank you, he said softly. 'For always being there for me, for accepting me for who I truly am.

His expressive ears twitched slightly, betraying his vulnerability.

I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be human lately. You know, family, connections, all that stuff. Is that something you've ever really experienced? Like, what's it like, growing up human?
