A/N: Okay, this chapter is EXTREMELY SHORT. I apologize for that.

When Len awoke, he found himself in a bedroom, lying in a bed with sunshine peaking though the window. "W-what…? Where…?" Len sat up slowly, feeling sore all over his body. He examined himself and saw that his wounds were covered in bandages- though many dark purple bruises were still visible- and his arm was in a cast.

Suddenly the door opened and in walked Kaito, carrying a tray of food. "Oh, good! You're up!" He said and went to sit in a chair beside the bed.

"Kaito…?" Len asked, remembering the other nights events.

"Yes?" Kaito said, placing the tray on Len's lap.

Len looked at the food in front of him. Eggs, bacon, and homemade hash browns sat on the plate in front of him. Len turned his gaze from the food to look Kaito in the eyes. "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?" Kaito asked, confused.

"I mean… Why are you helping me…? You don't even know me…"

"Because you seemed to be in desperate need of help." Kaito replied simply. "By the way, may I ask you your name?"

"My name's Len…"

"Oh… That's a cute name." Kaito said, smiling.

"How am I in bandages? Where did I get this?" Len pointed to the cast.

"My friend's a doctor. I called her over to help you out. She told me you were beaten pretty badly and that you were raped…"

"That about sums it up…" Len said.

"How did that happen though? Weren't you with your parents?" There we go… Kaito hit a sensitive spot.

"M-my parents… Are dead… Some drunk driver ran into them while they were walking down the street… They died instantly, leaving me and my sister as orphans. We were only 5 at the time…" Len stared down at the food in front of him the whole time he talked.

"Well, where's your sister… And your guardian?" Again. Another soft spot.

"I-I left them… 2 years ago…" Len explained quietly.

"Care to tell me why?" Kaito asked as he picked up Len's tray of food and set it on the bedside counter. He then sat on the edge of the bed next to Len.

"My guardian was my girlfriend for 3 years. But I found her sleeping with some other guy in my bed. MY bed! And she told me she felt sorry for me but didn't really care about me at all… She's been cheating on me ever since I asked her out! So I ran away." Len began to cry. "I didn't know where to go… So I just wandered the streets and got beat up every single day for 2 years! Then yesterday happened a-and…" Len was in full on crying mode.

Kaito reached out and pulled Len into a hug, letting him cry into his chest. "It'll be alright… I'll let you stay with me. I'm sorry I asked…" Kaito apologized.

Len shook his head and sniffled. "I-it's not your fault…" Len did his best to stop crying. He didn't even know why he told Kaito all of that! He didn't need to know! They barely even knew each other! Len guessed it was just because he felt safe around Kaito.

"You're free to live with me if you want… I live alone so it does get kind of lonely around here sometimes." Kaito said.

"B-but wouldn't I be a burden…? Len asked.

"Of course not! I can just tell we'll get along perfectly!" Kaito smiled. "Now eat. You must be starving." Kaito placed the tray of food in front of Len again.

"O-okay…" Len picked up a fork and began eating. He was surprised how good the food tasted and started scarfing the food down like there's no tomorrow.

Kaito laughed when he saw that Len's plate was clean. "I'm glad you seem to like my cooking." Kaito said and picked up the tray. He got up and walked towards the door.

"K-Kaito…?" Len asked.

Kaito turned to face Len. "Yes?"

"T-thank you… For everything…" Len said shyly.

"No problem!" And with that, Kaito walked out the door.
