"You're so weak! You can't even fight back!" An orphan laughed at a little girl, followed by the other orphans.

"P-Please...leave me alone..." The little girl pleaded, sobbing as she tried shielding herself. "We'll leave you alone if you fight back," One of the orphans spat and kicked the little girl.

The little girl only whimpered in reply, cuddling herself in the corner of the room. "Come on you weakling! Fight back!" The orphan yelled and was about to punch the little girl only to be stopped.

"Leave her alone." A little boy sternly demanded. The orphans glared at him and scoffed. "Why would we? We're just having fun with this weakling here." The orphan clicked their tongue.

"Still, you have no right to hurt her. Now leave her alone." The little boy demanded again, furrowing his eyebrows even more. "Make me." The orphan scoffed.

The little boy only smirked and shrugged. "Glad to." He said and pointed behind the orphans. They raised their eyebrows and turned around, their eyes widening when they saw the houseparent, glaring at them.

"You 3, clean the whole orphanage as a punishment and do all the chores." The houseparent said with a cold tone, that sent shivers to everyone's spines. "Y-Yes ma'am..." The orphans stuttered out and scurried to do what they were told.

The houseparent sighed and looked at the little girl. "Are you okay?" She asked, walking slowly and carefully towards the little girl who didn't reply, only whimpered.

The houseparent was about to say something again until she got called out. She then sighed, looking at the little boy, signalling him to comfort the little girl before leaving.

"Hey. It's going to be alright. I'll protect you" The little boy reassured, kneeling down in front of the girl while she looks at him through her arms. "It's okay." The little boy reassured again, caressing the little girl's hand gently. He noticed the little girl tense up but he didn't care, he just continued to caress her hand.

Minutes passed, the boy helped the girl to stand up and walked her to sit down on a chair. "I'm Kageyama Tobio. You?" The boy, Kageyama, introduced himself.

The girl hesitated for a second before replying. "[L-L/n] [Y/n]..." She replied quietly

"[L/n]." Kageyama called out, catching [Y/n]'s attention. "I'll protect you. I promise."
