Okay, this chapter should be better ^.^''

"That…was…not a good idea...ribs killing me..." he groaned as he slowly flipped over so his back was resting against the cot. As good as the pain killers were, they couldn't stop the incredible pain to his chest. Plus it made breathing hard. "Great and things were just getting good," Kaito buttoned his pants back up as Len did the same. The two males were interrupted as the door to the room was suddenly slammed open.

"Kaito, are you okay baby?" a women said as she opened the curtains. She looked around her late thirties and had expensive, almost gaudy clothes on. "My poor baby!" she exclaimed pulling Kaito in a tight hug, completely ignoring Len for the moment.

"Mum...please...stop...hug...ribs...pain..." Kaito fought to spit the words out until his mother had finally let go of him.

Len was caught off guard when a woman in her late thirties barged through the door and hugged Kaito tightly. He smiled slightly when she showed her compassion to her son. He sighed very silently and got up from the bed.

"I'll give you some privacy, Kaito." He said as he pulled the curtain shut as he left, laying down on his own bed, putting all the needles back into him, wincing in pain a little.

'I wish I had a mother like that. One who would care for me when I was sick or could read me bedtime stories...I wish...I wish I could have a childhood, to have loving parents. I don't know much about Kaito and his relationship with his family but it's bound to be better than mine.' Len thought as he curled up in a ball on the bed and started to quietly cry, wishing he had what Kaito had, having friends, a family and a childhood.

Kaito was still catching his breath as Len said he'd give them some privacy. He shot Len an apologetic smile before turning his attention back to his mother.

"Honestly, I don't see why you insist on doing such a dangerous job as being a Detective, such long hours for horrible pay. Despite all your fighting, your Father would still be more than willing to get you a high executive position in his hotel company," Kaito's mother said as she sat in the chair next to the cot, flicking one of her pink pigtail out of the way of her face.

"Not this again, I'm never going to quit being a Detective. Especially not to work in a company as corrupt as Father's..." Kaito replied firmly only to receive a slap on the face.

"How can you talk about your Father that way? He did everything he could to raise and protect you. He saved you from going to prison or detentions more times than I can even count." his mother reprimanded.

"Maybe that was what I wanted!" Kaito shot back.

Len heard the whole conversation between the mother and the son. It didn't sound very loving. Was she worried about him? Was that why she was saying such things? But she slapped her own son in the face, what was that for? Len had no idea how a normal family life worked. He didn't know why some people did certain things too other people. He crouched into an even tighter hole as he began to cry even more, being as quiet as possible.

He heard the full conversation, hearing Kaito yell. He never really heard him speak like that to anybody before; he wasn't quite sure what to make of it. He knew he shouldn't intervene so he stayed in his little ball and decided to hear what his mother had to say about all of it.

"Is that why you chose to be a detective...why you chose to take the hard path?" Kaito's mother asked her tone softening as she reached out to gently rub the slightly red cheek.

"It's nothing like that; I'm just doing what I like to do." Kaito replied giving his mother a reassuring smile before leaning back against the wall. The truth was, living as a detective was the only life he felt he could be proud of himself; that he could do something to make up for all the mistakes he had ever made, but he knew his mother would never understand. Her world of money and status had protected her from the harsh reality of cases like what Len had to endure.

"By the way who was that boy?" his mother asked.

"Len, I saved him on the job and now we are living together…" he explained not getting into detail.

"Really, why didn't you introduce us first thing then!" she explained suddenly sounding exited. She didn't care if it was a male or female, just that her son had finally met someone.

Len heard his name mentioned. He wandered if he was even noticed by the woman; turned out he was. He smiled a little bit as he wiped some of his tears away. Kaito's mother seemed very over-protective of her son and only wanted what's right for her son. His mother wanted what was right for herself, which was beating Len up to a bloody pulp, cursing his existence. He sighed softly. 'I wish I had a mother like Kaito's'. He thought to himself.

Len really wanted to meet the lady that seemed nice enough. He would've given his right arm just too even talked to a woman like her in his time. The closest he got was Rin who left to become a singer.

Immediately after hearing the news, Kaito's mother set her sights straight on Len. She needed to make sure he was right for her only son after all.

"Hello, Len was it? I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier I'm Kaito's mother, you can call me Teito though." she said as she went to sit next to Len. Getting a good look at the boy though she couldn't help but slightly stare at his condition. She had never seen someone so malnourished and hurt in real life before. Honestly as long as she gave money to charities she thought she didn't have to worry about those with a much harsher life than hers. She was almost naive in that way.

"Kaito, how can you let your boyfriend stay in such a state, this boy's just skin and bones!" she said turning her face look at Kaito accusingly.

"I saved him from living off the streets a few days ago, of course Len's not going to be completely healthy yet, the kidnapping doesn't help matters either!" Kaito replied with a sigh.

Len looked at the woman curiously. He couldn't help but notice the similarities and the differences between her and her son. He looked over at Kaito with a small blush on his face. He felt awkward and lost for words.

"Urm, h-hello..." He shyly spoke. 'LEN, WAKEY, WAKEY, THIS WOMAN IS KAITO'S MOTHER! SHE DECIDES WHETHER OR NOT YOU STAY WITH KAITO!' Len's conscience said to him as he looked at the woman with a smile. "It's nice to meet you. M-my name is Len Kagamine..." He said slowly but politely before hearing what she complained about.

"N-no, I'm okay, really! Kaito saved me from a group of thugs and I have been staying with him since. He came and rescued me when I was kidnapped and all..." He said as he bowed at the woman then at Kaito.

"And I'm very thankful for it, Kaito." He said with a smile followed by a giggle at the end.

"Awww he's so sweet!" Teito said, her heart instantly melting the more Len spoke. "And polite too, better than the people you normally hang out with." she commented turning back to Len getting a small 'hey' from Kaito. Sure, most of his friends were crude and loud but she didn't have to put it like that.

"So you approve of Len, then?" Kaito asked, though even if she didn't he would still stay with the blond. He never let his parent's decisions dictate his life anyway.

"Well I'll be honest, I was hopping you'd meet a cute girl. Like that Miku lass, so I could have darling grand kids, but with technology today who knows what might happen in the future. Besides having someone to come home too might mean you won't be as reckless and dangerous as you normally are." Teito said, smiling approvingly.

"Probably right." Kaito replied with a sheepish grin. Normally when he was working he always put the case above his personal safety and it was why he was sent to the hospital so often. Now though, he couldn't risk leaving Len alone again.

I read somewhere that Teito was 31 or something so I tweaked it a bit and made her 37 if anybody was wondering so she had Kaito at 16 :3
