I need you
On the day of a cold drafty night, I Shuichi Shindou walked through the night with nowhere to go. I didn't want to bother my best friend Hiro with my problems, it just hurt to make him worry about me like that. I wonder through town, hungry and somehow abandoned. My parents hurt me in physical and mental ways; I needed to get away it hurt too much to stay. It really is hard to trust people when all you do is get constantly hurt and stabbed in the back. I always lie to those I love and trust its tears me to have to always fake a smile at school and be really happy when really I'm slowly breaking.
The pain that I'm feeling is so intense, I can't even walk stably. I walk myself to a dark alley, collapsing to the floor sobbing and clutching myself. After some time I managed to fall asleep in the cold shivering night.
“Hey wake up” a voice tells me while shaking me in my deep slumber. I open my eyes slightly enough to see a strange man's figure. I think it my dad and scream, “Leave me alone please I can't return please!” I say crying hard. The same voice talks again. “Calm down I'm not going to hurt you.”
“Huh?” I thought, `he doesn't sound like my dad'. I open my eyes completely and see a strange man. After, I close my eyes again and the world goes black.

I woke up feeling dizzy and with a horrible cough. All of a sudden I sneezed feeling slightly nauseous. As I'm awake, I realize that I'm lying down. I feel as if I'm on something soft and the surrounding feels warm, when I look around I see that I'm in a bed and in someone's apartment. I look around with my eyes to take in the different environment. I'm wondering why I'm here.
As I move I feel something or someone there next to me when I turned my head I yelped softly. I saw a strange person sleeping next to me yet he looks so peaceful. I stare intently looking at how lightly he breathes; it's like an angel almost, so graceful. I brush away a lock of hair from his face clearer it's so beautiful. I think to myself `why would a complete stranger make me think like this? It makes my heart ache to even think of loving someone. It even pains me to let someone in. How can something so simple could hurt so much?'
“Hey.” a familiar voice said. I jumped I must have been too deep in thought to notice that the man woke up.
“Where am I and who are you!” I immediately ask him
Stranger P.O.V.
I wake and look at the brat, and how I picked him up (he looked so sad when I picked him up last night). I carried him home after he went unconscious. he was screaming something before that about home. I thought he was really cute. I can't even believe I'm thinking of him like that! Especially considering that he's just a kid.
I bring home and lay him gently on my bed like a fragile antic. He looked so pale on my white sheets. I don't think that's his normal color. I feel his forehead, gently. he has a fever. When I take his temperature its 102 degrees, he was burning up. I had to cool him down quickly. I almost panicked but I told myself I couldn't because it would do nothing for the situation. I took a breath and started to think rationally.
First thing I had to do was turn on the cold water in the tub and fill it with some ice to make it extra cooler. I strip of the kids clothes and slowly put him in the water. As he lies there, his color comes back slowly. I look as his naked body and see some scars and bruises all over his body also some slices on his wrist and arms.
“He must have been raped.”
Shuichi/normal P.O.V.
As I begin to stir I see the same strange person from the night before. I quickly sit up and look him in the eye. “Where am I and who are you!” I question.
“My name is Eiri Uesugi and you're in my house. I was just walking along and spotted you in a dark alley way sleeping I woke you and you were screaming something about home then went unconscious.” He gently touched my head making me twitch. “Your fever went down he said chuckling lightly” I guess he notice me wince because after, he quickly added “I have no intention of hurting you so just relax”.
“Um…I'm hungry” I said rubbing my stomach.”
“Ok I'll make you some to eat” Eiri said.
Its funny I feel so eased when I'm with him like I don't have any worries and it all washed away. This is the first time I've even seen him and it's like an aura that puts me at ease yet edge it kind of strange. With him I think I can truly smile.
