LovelessXXX fanfic.

Len's name is Orchid. Kaito's is Kyte. Gakupo's is Gackt. Len tells Gakupo and Kaito to call him Len, but the non-dialogue text will refer to him as Orchid.

I do not own SCL Project, Vana n'Ice, or Vocaloid.

To be such a child was sin, he knew. Unloved by the parents who had birthed him, the child knew his fate from a young age, blinded to what love was due to his mistreatment. The only nice thing that his parents had done for him was to pull him from school.

Two men had become his tutors: one for the arts and humanities, one for the logics and sciences. These men had shown the child gentle care that society had not. Ever so gently, the young boy plucked the golden rimmed glasses off one of their faces.

Placing such delicate frames on his nose, an ear twitched lightly, stark black against golden wheat. The bluet chuckled, moving the small child into his lap before wrapping arms around his waist, holding the book of poetry before him.

"Orchid, you know that I need those to read," he started to explain why, briefly, before the small finger of the young boy pressed to his lips.

"Shh. I want to see why. Can I see as much of the outside world as Kyte? I would like that…" He mumbled, his eyes trailing over the book for a moment, before fingers delicately placed them back on the tutor's face. Kyte was unresponsive to such a statement, biting his lip.

Orchid had been sheltered his whole life. His family had abandoned him, leaving him to the care of his tutors. Slowly had they both begun to adopt the child, however, he was made to stay where he was until the papers were finalised.

His black tail lightly swished against Kyte's stomach, reminding the tutor that he was busy explaining the work of Edgar Allen Poe. "You see, Orchid -" The young child shushed him once more with a delicate finger, before turning his head.

The hair that hid one eye seemed to have shifted, revealing a brilliant tint of sky blue, as compared to the gentle, tranquil teal of his other eye. Such eyes were beautiful, and captivating… Kyte was snapped back to attention my Len's words.

"The government calls me Orchid. I prefer Len. Please call me Len, Kyte? You are one of my tutors. I would much rather be called Len."

Kyte could do nothing wrong by granting the child's wish, nodding. "You see, Len," he continued briefly, gaining a bright smile from the child. "Poe used…"

His explanations of Poe's work did not take long, as it seemed Orchid was able to understand it all. There was still an hour left before the next tutor was to come, so Kyte decided on something bold. "Len, please retrieve your umbrella."

Blinking, the boy got up slowly, heeled boots clicking along the wooden floors as he retrieved the delicate parasol from the closet. While it did nothing to protect in the rain, it did much to protect from the sun. The tutor held it outside the front door, pocketing a long unused key. Orchid's eyes widened, unequaled bliss in his orbs.

"... T-Thank you, K-Kyte…" What else could the child say? He was unused to going outside, and the last time he had tried alone, he had been nearly run over, spit at, and attacked by other children. The young boy gently gripped the parasol, holding it over his head as Kyte led the way on a walk.

Many people seemed appalled that a normal human dare associate with the cat-child by will, much less take him for a walk. However, the elderly who saw this recognised such unbridled joy in the child's eyes at just a simple walk, that they only smiled and waved.

Kyte had an arm entrapped in Orchid's, the delicate fingers of the child holding the parasol over his head, lest the sun attack such beautiful, moonshine colored skin with its harsh, darkening rays.

When it seemed the child was tuckered out, however, Kyte led him home in time for his new set of lessons.

R&R. I hope you enjoy so far.
