The first friend and a hug

The next day, Kaito and Robin met again in the same place, this time, Robin arrived a few minutes after Kaito.

As in the previous day, Kaito bought breakfast and also brought something salty in addition to the sweets. Despite this, Robin declined more for sweets.

For today, Kaito had brought some books of which he had spoken in his conversation the previous day. Robin took a look and read a little of each book.

Kaito - if you want you can keep them, I've already read them -

Robin - I can not accept them are yours -

Kaito - I insist. I prefer you to leave them for my grandmother to finish burning them if I bring more books home -

Robin - hehehe, okay, I'll accept the books -

Kaito - by the way, if you do not mind I would like to know where you live -

Robin - ah, well ... -

Robin did not know what to answer and Kaito detected the nervousness in Robin's face and could imagine what the answer was.

Kaito - ... do not tell me you live in the area of ​​the ruins -

Robin looked away when he saw Kaito's angry face. He knew of the personality of isolating himself from Robin's people. But I had no idea that Robin lived in those circumstances.

Kaito - ahhh, I had imagined it, if you want you can stay in the same hotel where I stay -

Robin was surprised by Kaito's offer. She knew it could be dangerous for her to live in the city. She was not sure if anyone would recognize her, when she was about to refuse the offer. Kaito put his hands on his shoulders.

Kaito - well, more than offering you I prefer to demand that you come with me, I could not sleep peacefully knowing that you live in this area, much less after the incident of the previous day -

Robin saw Kaito's blue eyes. She stared at him, Robin felt for some calm reason to see his determined gaze. He thought for a few minutes, but in the end I accept.

Robin - okay, but with one condition -

Kaito - what condition? -

Robin - while we are on the streets, I will wear the hood and you can not ask me the reason -

Kaito - Okay, do not worry I will not ask you why, I know that everyone has their own secrets -

Robin was relieved to hear Kaito, but did not realize it was strange that Kaito responded so quickly. He responded quickly because he knew Robin's motives.

Kaito - well, then let's go for your stuff and let's go to the hotel -

Robin - ah, wait! -

Robin did not have time to react, Kaito took her hand and dragged her. In the end Kaito realized that he did not know where Robin was living so after apologizing to her, the two went to where Robin lived.

After collecting Robin's belongings that were not many, Kaito took Robin to the city and as Robin had said, she was already close to the city put on the hood of the coat. Robin turned to see Kaito's reaction to his actions, but what he saw was Kaito's smile.

They walked through the streets of the city and soon arrived at the hotel.

Kaito - Excuse me I would like to take a room more than mine, I would prefer it to be next to my room -

Receptionist - wait, let me check the available rooms -

After a while the receptionist returned.

Receptionist - unfortunately there is no single room free, we only have rooms for two people -

Kaito - what a problem -

Kaito turned and saw under Robin's hood that she looked sad. Robin, despite the dangers of living in the city, wanted to sleep in a warm room.

Robin - Kaito if there is no other option it will be better to come back -

Kaito - no, I will not let you go back to sleep in that place, mmmm, sorry I want to change my single room for a double -

Robin - wait ... -

Receptionist - in agreement, you want a room with single beds or with a double bed -

Kaito - I want the one ... -

Robin - the one with two beds !!! -

Receptionist - in agreement, this is the key, they will be 200 more berris per night -

Kaito was surprised at Robin's quick action, he was going to choose a double room with single beds, but seeing Robin's reaction, it seemed that she believed that Kaito would take the marriage. This gave him the idea of ​​disturbing Robin a little later.

Kaito - thank you, and a question -

Receptionist - yes -

Kaito - we can ask to bring food to our room -

Receptionist - if you can, but this will cost you a plus -

Kaito - Okay, nothing happens, I want you to bring dinner to our room from today -

Receptionist - as ordered -

Kaito with Robin went first to Kaito's room to collect their belongings, Robin was surprised to see the amount of books in the room.

Kaito - sorry for the mess -

Kaito proceeded to collect his belongings and then went to his new room. When they put their belongings in the cupboards the two sat at the table that lives in the middle of the room.

Robin - because you decided to take a double room -

Kaito - well, I can guess that you do not feel safe in the city, and at first I wanted your room to be next to mine to help you in any problem. But I think it's better this way, when I sleep in the same room I can protect you -

Robin did not know what to say, he was increasingly surprised by this boy. She had never met anyone who was so kind to her after leaving her home island. This made him feel afraid in the event that Kaito discovered his identity.

Robin - thanks ... -

Kaito was surprised, not by Robin's words, but because from Robin's eyes the tears started to come out.

Robin - thanks ... hic ... thanks ... -

Kaito quickly got up and hugged her, from past experiences she knew that this was the best thing, at least it had worked for Hina, and she hoped it would work to reassure Robin.

Robin did not reject the hug, continued crying and buried his face in Kaito's chest.

Kaito started stroking his head.

Kaito - (damn, if I could make her stop chasing her) -

Kaito could understand how Robin felt, she had not had much luck in her life until now, the people she met ended up betraying her and selling her to the World Government.

Robin - I'm sorry for showing you my embarrassing side -

Kaito - do not feel bad about this, if you have to cry again remember to lean on me, I will comfort you as many times as needed -

Robin - I can not do that, as soon as we just met -

Kaito in a quick movement grabbed Robin's face and pulled him closer to his.

Kaito - do not say that, you are now my friend and I want to be your friend !! -

Robin was scared to see the face of Kaito so close but after hearing his words, he could not avoid spilling a tear, but not of sadness or relief but of happiness.

Kaito - you understand me, we are now friends -

Robin - yes, friends ... my first friend -

Robin's last words were in a low voice so Kaito did not hear them.

After the situation returned to normal, the two began talking about their tastes. Both had several things in common. They both liked to read and learn new things. Although Robin at first was not very fond of sweet things recognized that he began to like a lot. The two had not had much contact with other people either, although in Kaito's case, he had his family.

After the hotel workers brought them dinner, the two ate quietly. Robin had not dined so well for a long time. After dinner Robin was the first to go for a swim. Both had to change inside the bathroom because they felt ashamed. Already lying down each in his respective bed. They turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Robin - Kaito -

Kaito - yes -

Robin - thank you -

Kaito - of nothing -

Despite the few words, everyone knew the meaning of these. The hours passed and Kaito woke up because of some noise. When he listened more closely he realized that it was Robin.

Robin - mama ... -

It seemed that he had a nightmare, Kaito worried and went to look as he was, when he approached quietly he saw that Robin was crying. Kaito did not think much about it and lay down beside her and hugged her from behind. Robin woke up and felt tears in her eyes, then felt someone hugging her. When he turned his head he saw Kaito. He wanted to say something, but Kaito went ahead.

Kaito - you do not need to hold back, remember that if you want to cry you can do it -

Robin saw Kaito's worried look. Robin wiped her tears and turned her head again.

Robin - thank you -

Robin after saying this he settled into Kaito's embrace and closed his eyes.

Robin - (this sense of security ... I like it) -

Despite feeling nervous about Kaito's actions, she felt comfortable in Kaito's arms.

That night, Robin slept peacefully, which he had not done for a long time.
