The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the loving looks by my parents, I instinctively knew that they would be good people to live with and so I smiled at them instead of crying like every other new-born.

Growing up was quite a joy to do, seeing everything changing due to the influence of every person's will and I also grew up with the support given by my parents.

Currently at the age of ten was when everything changed, life as I had known was different.

My parents were gone when I had come back home from school, leaving behind no evidence of any struggles or fight taking place.

However, what scared me the most is the fact that I knew this would happen, I had a spike of pain which included glimpses of this scene, so I was not all too sad of their disappearance.

I had no other known relatives thus led to this situation where I had to keep it a secret and live by myself with no support from anyone else.

I learnt how to live in this manner with little to no help, going to school like every other day, I have started to notice all the hidden intents by those of my classmates.

You see, I was sent to a public school where there is a variety of people of different class and what bonds them was falsely forged to fit one's desires. "Giotto! Where have you been the last few days?"

This is one of the types that I dislike the most, but I still smiled and replied, "I'm sorry ragazza (girl), but I don't remember needing your sympathy." That said, I also do not need to be like them.

Walking out of the classroom, I thought I would be despised but it turned out to be the opposite, for I hear squeals coming from most of the girls in the class. Sighing, I decided to make a break for it, exiting the school at a fast pace.

I was met with a chest to my face and fell onto the ground. "A-are you okay?" I looked up to see a boy about the same age as me, but that was not what caught my attention, it was the fact that I heard genuine concern for me.

I feel my face glowing as I took in his features, mid-hair length of brown colour, covering his face partially and his eyes are a beautiful shade of dark red. "My name's Giotto, what's yours?" I asked almost joyously.

"Giona..." The boy said albeit with a sad tone in his voice which peaked my interest.

"Why are you so sad? Do you want to play with me?" I smiled, hearing stutter of replies which I paid no mind to and dragged him back to my house.

"Wash up now." I pushed a reluctant Giona into the showers and helped him wash up.

'It was like he had never see a bathroom before.' I thought standing in the kitchen cooking dinner for two, 'It's been a long time since I've cooked for another person...'

I settled off to work on dinner, knowing by heart which is ripe for use and vice versa till I heard a voice, "Giotto, where's my clothes?"

I looked to see Giona covered up by a towel. "It's by the door." Pointing to the bundle of clothes to which he chuckled at, "I guess I didn't notice that huh?"

Both of us sat face to face eating my cooked food, I could see that he was holding back on eating without manners. "It's okay, I won't judge."

As I said that, Giona's stomach growled inducing giggles from me, I could see that he was blushing faintly which made me laugh louder. "G-Giotto!" His stutters were so cute.

I regained my breath slightly, "Giona, if you are hungry, act like it or I will be offended." His face scrunched up in thought, then started gobbling up the food like it is his last.

"Don't you have… parents?" Giona said in between bites, eyes downcast, I told him the truth about them. He nodded in understanding saying that he was the same, but his parents did it on purpose.

"I heard them Giotto, they were talking about me… about how I was not supposed to be alive, how my sister should have been the one to take my place as the next heir..."

Tears flowed freely from his eyes as he retold the happenings in his house, I looked upon him in sympathy and pulled him into a comforting hug.

"Don't worry, now you have me."

His confused eyes met my determined ones, "But..."

"But nothing! You can show them that you have a will to live, a freedom of choice! So come with me Giona and let's make a place for you in this world!"

I was grinning widely in the end and he joined in my happiness with a few tears of what, I do not know.
