Len's P.O.V
Rain poured down on a cold winter's day. I was squinting my eyes to read the piece of paper with an address imprinted on it.
Oh yeah, this was the place alright. The place that I will be working at for quite some time...
I can't believe this place accepted me the second I agreed to being a hard worker no matter what. It kind of gets me wondering to how trustworthy this place is. It looks trustworthy enough I'm this close in reaching my money goal so Rin can undergo the lifesaving surgery...
A Ding! went off when I went through the door. The secretary had her hair in a neat bun and she had dazzling green eyes. She had a calming aura to her and it made me settle down even more. "It sure is raining cats and dogs out there!" She smiled kindly as her voice echoed in the empty room.
"No kidding! Ahem.. Hi.. Um.
I opened the door to see a small room with blinding white walls and floors, but what caught my eye was a blonde boy curled up right next to the bed, rocking himself slightly.
He looked scared.
He looked terrified.
Out of curiosity I approached him, reaching my hand to touch his hair.
Instantly he looked up and I saw a bandage covering his right eye. What would have caused this Please No more experiments.
"I'm not a doctor. I'm just the new employee. I'll be the new caretaker of a boy, are you the boy?" He shrugged. "I-I don't trust you." He murmured and my eyes softened.
"Trust me, I won't hurt you. My name is Len, what's yours?" Before he could reply a man with shady glasses and a cocky smirk walked in.
"Hello. Sorry for being late. Was caught up at home No more injections I'd rather die on the streets What is your name?"
"Oliver
I need him to trust me. If he doesn't I'll be fired!
Rin needs to live.
"Well. How'd you get here?"
He ignored me.
"Oliver.
I saw him take his fruit and he started to peel it.
It was a banana. I like bananas.
"Mind if we swap fruits?" I asked. He finally looked up at me and sighed. "Fine..." I gave him my apple and he gave my his unpeeled banana. I heard his stomach growl and he blushed in embarrassment. I decided that he was starving and wanted all the food he could get, so I gave him the rest of my bitten sandwich and apple juice. "You're hungry
"You know So I wandered into this job and here I am!" I reached out to touch his arm yet again, but more quickly so he wouldn't jerk back. "I understand some shady business might be happening … I can tell by your bloodied bandages that you got some sort of pain in the eye. Was it a knife?"
"A needle." He murmured, looking up at me again. "You can see blood?" He inquired.
"A lot…yeah… But don't worry, no matter what he does to you, I'll be here to protect you."
"You will?" He brightened up a little and I swear I saw a smile corner his mouth. "So you can help me escape, right?" He came closer to me, squeezing my shoulders with his soft hands.
"I'm afraid I can't do that… I'm sorry.." He sighed and looked away. "No… I understand. Sorry for putting you on the spot." He said in monotone.
And then there was more silence.
So much for a trustworthy job...
