A/N: You have no idea how painful it was for me to name the company "Tasty Treats". *shudders* I cringe at typing it. And when I went back and read it I cringed so hard XD But I couldn't think of anything better, so yeah. Tasty Treats. Ugh...

Rin wiped Len's arms off first, since he didn't need to stand up yet for her to clean that. He was thankful that she didn't make him immediately stand. He wasn't ready yet. He definitely wasn't ready...He cringed as he held in what he didn't want his sister to hear, but his efforts were in vain as he couldn't force himself to hold it in even if he wanted to. Rin figured he was embarrassed, so she didn't say anything about it and just pretended it didn't happen. Len was thankful for that too.

"I think we should just give you a bath," Rin stated, looking at how much of a mess it would be to try and leave him in his filthy, sticky clothes. Len sort of agreed with her. He didn't want to be covered in vomit all day. But he still wasn't ready to leave the toilet.

"Rin, can you go for a little while?" he almost whispered, embarrassed. Rin didn't hear what he said, he spoke too quietly. She was focused on getting his arms mostly clean. He spoke her name a little louder.

"Rin?" Rin looked up, hearing her name. Len was giving her a look that she somehow understood what he wanted. She kissed his forehead and gave him a quick hug, planning on taking a bath with him later and not caring when she got dirty.

"Just yell if you need anything," she said. Len nodded and hunched over again. He waited for her to leave before relieving himself.

Rin was worried about here brother. Yeah, he was sick, kids get sick all the time, no big deal. But he was really sick. She didn't think she'd ever seen someone in so much pain before in her life. She sighed and hugged her knees to her chest, sitting on the floor next to the bathroom. She faintly smelled like vomit.

Len moaned softly and winced. It was bad enough that he had to go through all this, the sudden stomach pains and urgent need to use the bathroom, but now it hurt to do it. That's just cruel, Len thought, wincing again. He felt a lot better than when he first went in, but his stomach still felt awful and the muscles hurt from over use. He wanted his sister to be there to make him feel better, but the thought of her being in there with him made him flush red in embarrassment. He didn't want anyone to see him like this. Not even his sister. Especially not his sister. He was supposed to be the brave one. The one to protect her and make sure she was safe. He was supposed to look out for her. How could he look out for her like this though...He was vulnerable, weak, unable to even care for himself. He was reduced to an infant who depended on other people to care for him. He couldn't possibly be his sister's protector like this...

Len frowned at these thoughts. He didn't want to be that type of person. He wanted to be the one to care for others, not make others care for him. He felt his vision blur, tears of frustration and pain welling in his eyes. He did not want to cry. He couldn't cry. Not now. Not while he was already weak. His body over ruled his will however and he shed tears anyway.

Rin perked up when she heard the faint sound of crying coming from the bathroom. He instincts kicked in and she opened the door, not caring about how awkward it might have been for some people. This was her brother, she didn't care. She was comfortable enough to be around him when he was like this and didn't think anything of it.

Len tried to shoo her away, but she wouldn't have it. Rin wrapped her arms around him tightly and rubbed his back, shushing him in an attempt to calm him down.

"What's wrong?" she asked him, holding him close to her chest. She used to hold him like that when they were little and there was a thunderstorm. He would always feel safe in her arms and would fall asleep together with her, worry free. Because she was there to protect him.

Len sniffed and quieted down. He realized something. He never was meant to protect Rin. She was meant to protect him. She had been the protector all along. She was always the one to cheer him up when he was sad. She was always the one to make him feel safe when he was scared. And she was always the one who made him feel better when he was ill. Len sniffed again and hugged her back tightly.

"I-I just wanted you to stay here with me," he stuttered, still crying a little. "I can't do it alone, it hurts. I just can't...I need you here with me. You make the pain go away."

Rin froze. She took in her brother's words. She smiled and rubbed his back in large, slow circles.

"Okay, I'll stay," she told him. She never wanted to leave in the first place. Len sniffed and nodded, glad she agreed to stay. He didn't necessarily mind that she was there for such an awkward moment for him, he knew she didn't care. And that made him confident enough to not care either.

When he was finally finished, he felt much better. He was still a little sore, and his stomach hurt a lot from over using those muscles, but he was still better off then than he was before. Rin took his hand and led him to the upstairs bathroom where the garden bath was and filled the tub with warm water. She helped him undress and then undressed as well, putting their clothes in the laundry and starting it. She helped him into the bath first and got him sitting down and comfortable before she stepped in. Len was mindful not to peek at her body. Just because she didn't mind didn't mean he thought it was okay to look. Once she was in, she scooted closer to Len and began washing his back.

"I can do it," Len argued, but Rin just ignored him and kept scrubbing until he was clean. Then she washed herself and their hair. Len felt very relaxed when her fingers scratched his scalp, it was calming and felt good. Huh. It had been a while since something felt good to Len. He wasn't quite used to it. He closed his eyes and dozed off for a bit, feeling sleepy. Rin smiled at him and pulled him close to her lying his head on her shoulder. She liked taking care of her baby brother. She felt happy when she did things that made him feel good. She felt like she was loved and needed by him. She wanted to protect her baby brother. She would do anything for him.

Their mom opened the front door and announced that she was home, and Rin heard her, then shouted that they were in the bath in response, accidentally waking Len. Their mother sighed when she saw the bathroom and shouted back an okay. She knew why they needed a bath...She found the mop and began cleaning the floor.

Len yawned and stretched out, sleepy. Rin rubbed his arm affectionately and asked him how he was feeling. He sighed, putting a hand on his belly.

"Honestly? Not so good," he answered. Rin pouted and tucked her arm underneath his and began rubbing his belly. He sighed at her touch and felt her hand melting the knots away. He was surprised when he suddenly belched, but also felt relief from that. Rin smiled at her accomplishment and kept rubbing his belly until he fell back asleep.
