You walked the empty streets of some old ghost town, why were you there? You gotten away from your abusive parents and were trying to find the next town across, but you had to go through a ghost town to get there. It was cold, dark and all you had was a backpack full of clothes, food, a bit of water and a flashlight. You'd been out for days, trying to find civilisation, you could see Lights in the distance, there was obviously a town ahead, but it was a long way off. You sighed and pulled on a second jacket as you walked toward the lights. You stopped to rest for a moment when you reached a long road, that with a sign that said "Kanto region 4km"

Great, another four kilometres of walking, well... limping. You left right after you had bean beaten up so you were sore all over. You ditched your phone so no one could track you, so there was no calling for taxis. If you wanted a ride, you'd have to hitchhike, but that's really dangerous out in these parts.

You continued to walk down the long road, in the direction of the city in the distance. One you were there, you figured you could to two things, find and orphanage or set up camp in different parks for a while until you had more money.

You dragged your feet along as you walked. You wanted to collapse and sleep right there but you had to keep going. Suddenly you heard a car behind you, you thought it would just go past but it shone its headlights on you, making you cover your eyes.

"Why are you out here so late?" A voice said.

"I'm trying to get to the city" you said.

"Want a lift?"

You nodded and the doors opened, you jumped inside to see two people in the car, an old man who was driving and a younger one that sat curled up him his seat.

"Thanks" you said.

"Where exactly are you heading?"

"Um... just to the city?"

"No like, we can drop you off at your house or wherever your staying" the black haired one said.

"Well... I'm not exactly heading anywhere. I just had to get out of my house..."

The boy in the back with you turned to face you, scanning you down.

"Before we go any further, I'm L" he said.

"I'm (y/n)"

"You don't have to answer, but are those cuts and bruises the reason you left?" He asked.

"Y-yeah..."

"Do you have anywhere to go?"

"No..."

"You can stay with us, we'll be moving hotels a lot though"

"Really?" You said.

"Yeah, its better than living in the streets" he replied.

"Thank you so much!" You exclaimed, throwing your arms around him.

"No one should be treated like that, you're welcome to stay with us as long as you need" he said.

"I'll do all the house work and get anything you guys need I promise!"

"You don't have to"

"I... don't?"

"No, we won't put you to work" L said.

"I didn't think it was possible for someone to be so nice..." you said.

"(Y/n) whatever you went through is over now, you're safe as long as you're with us"
