Akakuro short stories: The boy who never cried

Kuroko was in his run down home making a vegetable stew to eat. He was an outcast to the people in his village. Because people thought he was a witch. Ever since he was born he never cried one noise even when his parents died. That's why people threw him out of the village to a forest with an old run down house. Kuroko couldn't cry but he had feelings as a human being also. He was sad and scared when the villagers threw him out but he never cried even if he wanted too. Even if he were to try to go back to the village they would throw rocks at him.

One day Kuroko went into the woods to gather some woods.

"This should be enough." Kuroko said.

Suddenly rain starts to fall. Kuroko was about to run back home but stop but a flash of red stop him. He looked at the river on the side of the river was a body. Kuroko was about to run away but there's this strange feeling saying he should turn back. So Kuroko turned back and walked near it.
He sat down on his knees and looked at the person face. He had red hair like the firey sun. He moved the wet hair away from the person face. His eyes widen it was a beautiful person.
Kuroko out his ears on the person chest to see if he was still alive.
Ba-bump...

"He's still alive." Kuroko smiled.
Kuroko carefully put the person arms around his shoulder and took him to his house.

Kuroko laid him down on his bed. Which was getting soak but Kuroko didn't care he had to save this person first. Kuroko quickly grabbed his fire woods and chopped them up and there them into the fireplace. The house was getting warmer. Kuroko went back to the red haired man and looked at him. Kuroko had to take off the person clothes now or he'll freeze. Kuroko was about to touch the person but he was grabbed by the hand. He almost shriek but he held himself.

"Um.. if you feel uncomfortable just tell me. I'm taking your clothes off now." Kuroko blush a little bit.

After Kuroko took off the clothes he helped pitted on some new clothes he made to the person.
"Uh...Can you come sit here at the fireplace I need to change your bedsheets. Kuroko said. The person nodded. He got up and sat at the chair near the fireplace. While Kuroko was changing the bed sheets the red haired man said.

"Why did you save me? You don't even know me I might be a murder. I can just kill you right now." He said.
Kuroko turned to looked at him with his back facing him.
"I saved you because it was the right thing to do for anyone. Beside you don't look like a bad person. I trust you." Kuroko finish.
