Len's POV

Its been three days since we came here.

I still haven't told Rin anything, but Mayu knows, and Rin has probably noticed. Mayu gives her a weird look whenever we're close to each other, or before she leaves us alone. That makes me uncomfortable.

Rin is asleep on the floor and Mayu left for the marketplace. We're in the kitchen and she knocked out while eating an apple. How cute. I'm sitting on a chair at the table, looking a map, but I'm actually watching Rin. She looks so peaceful.

Mayu leaves often. She's not around a lot and is usually somewhere in the village, I assume. I know her though. She's safe. But, as a result, Rin and I have been spending time together. And a lot, at that. We usually are here, in the room, but sometimes we go on walks.

She moves a little in her sleep. I hope she's not having another nightmare. Suddenly, I hear the door open, which means Mayu is home. I hear her call calmly, "Someone is here,"

I start to panic. What does that mean? It could be someone from the castle! Nothing will happen to Mayu and I, but Rin is another story. I make a spilt second decision to pick up her unconscious body and hide her.

I pick her up, and look for places to hide her. She is very small and light, so there are a lot of places. I could hide her in the back of the storage, and put boxes in front of her. I open the door when I hear Mayu say my name from behind me.

I turn around slowly, Rin resting her head and arm against my chest. Her nightmare must be gone, now.

There is a tall man with blue hair standing next to her. He looks at Rin in my arms and looks back at me. I laugh akwardly and frantically say, "She's not dead!"

"Good to know." He looks a bit disgusted with me. Mayu gives me a crazy look, but calmly tells me to set her down so she can sleep.
I bring her back into the room with the bed and set her down. Then I turn and look at the two of them.

Rin's POV

I wake up in the bed, confused. I was on the kitchen floor, but I'm in the bed now?

I look around the room and no one is here, so I stand up and stretch. I push the hair out of my face and walk into the kitchen. I'm startled by what I see and almost make a run for it. Mayu's back is to me, and so is a man's I've never seen before. Len is oppisite to them, and his face looks strained as he looks at me.

They both turn around in response. Mayu smiles and stands up, pulling the man up with her. "You must be Rin?" He asks. He is incredibly tall, and I'm by far the shortest out of the three of us, so he towers over me. He holds a hand out for me to shake, but I ignore it. He frowns.

I look at Mayu. Len is clearly not the one who brought him here. "It's nice to see you awake, and not in Len's arms." I hear the man say. "What?" My face gets red as I look at Len behind them. He looks away.

"When I came here, you were asleep and Len was carrying you. It was cute! You were curled up against his chest." He calls happily. Mayu cuts in then, and says, "Good afternoon, Rin. This is Kaito. My boyfriend."
