Teresa's face was a mask of surprise, and a hint of guilt too. She glanced at Riku. I guess I said something bad, then. "...Alright. I understand. But I won't stop asking questions; I can't ignore his quirks, and pretend they don't exist." She frowned, and the next words she spoke were quiet. "If I'm too careful, I'll never know anything about him."
She walked quietly beside him, not bothering to brush his hand away. It was still gripping her wrist. "What about you, Riku?" She finally asked. "Kyin is always reacting to things I say or do, and you always end up explaining them. But I don't know anything about you." She looked at him curiously.

Riku stopped. "You don't really need to know anything about me. Kyin usually tells you when he explains something. For one, i'm always causing him trouble, even though I'm teh older brother. He was always carrying me because I was a weak boy with some kind of blood disease. Once my blood flowed, it didn't stop for about 5 minutes. I had to constantly carry around weird things that would clot my blood. The hispital cured that... I'm not really important.. Kyin is the baby. He is the one you should get to know. If you really wana know about us, ask me. He gets emotional because he always thought he was the source of our family being broken up, brought together, then murdered in a fiery blaze. Kyin was the one hwo remembers it. I was knocked out when the water heater exploded from the preasure. i barely made it out alive. But that's all I remember." He looked at her. "just... Don't worry about our past. I fyour really curious, ask me." A tear slipped from Riku's eye and down his cheek. He flicked his away. Kyin walked into the room he shared with Riku and quickly got into the bed. He pulled the blanket over his head and looked at his hands. So ... Carrying habit.. Out the window.. Touching people subconsciencely... Out too... Touching people in general... Out too... That's all my habits that caused this... playing with my thumbs when nervouse... out... running away... out...

Teresa glared at him, and finally swatted his hand away. "'Not important'?" She growled. "Stupid. You're both important. I don't care who's the weak one and who was always carrying the other."
She walked away. This is such a mess. Everything I say has a bad effect on them. Even Riku is crying. What the hell is wrong with me?
She opened the door to Riku and Kyin's room and slipped inside, flicking on the light. There was Kyin. Well, sort of. She couldn't actually see him since he was completely covered by a blanket. Teresa frowned, marched over, and ripped the blanket off.
"Listen up, Kyin." She said. "Don't you dare fix your habit, it's what makes you who you are. Don't change because of others. Stay the same." She sat on the bed in front of him, crossed her legs, grabbed his hand- the one he had been staring at- and pressed it against the bed.
"Please." She said quietly.

Kyin uncovered himself and looked at Teresa. "But my habits are what keep me fomr upsetting people.. I get rid of teh habit when I bother people and I don't really care when people tell emm not to. once I let the habit go for a while, I can't do that habit anymore.. I can't pick you up if you don't like it.. I don't wana touch anybody if they don't like it... I'm nothing.. I'm a puppy wanting attention from those around me, but when they get annoyed m=by me, I try to fix it.." He held his hands together tightly. His scar giving off a twinge of pain. He held them tighter. Riku looked at them. "I'll be back with afew extra blankets that I hid.." He walked out oft eh room he shared adn down teh hall.

"Kyin, that's just what you think." She said. "Everyone has habits. Who are they to criticize you for yours?" She blinked. "I don't mind it when you pick me up. Really. I was curious about why- and I didn't know it was just a habit. No big deal." She grinned rea.ssuringly.
She glanced over at Riku's announcement, and nodded to him as he left. Probably a good idea. She fell silent waiting for Kyin's reply, but was suddenly conscious that they were alone. Damn Riku. It's his fault, for asking that kind of question... She blinked and stared down at her own hands, her mouth dry for some reason. "Um..."

Kyin looked at Teresa with large eyes. His black eyes giving off a sort of puppy dog look. He looked away and let his scar give off painful signals to his brain. His head was hurting and he just wanted to be haugged so badly. Riku had always given him hugs when he was scared or sad. He put his head down and grabbed the blanket. He wrapped it tightly around himself and shook slightly. He closed his eyes tightly and let a tear escape his eye. He reached out for Teresa and pulled her toward him. He burried his face in her shoulder and let the tears fall from his solemn eyes. He clutched her shirt and shook like a baby wanting his mom. He let out a whimper of pain and then broke down in her arms. He cried like a kid who scarped his knee and kept his mouth shut. No noises came, only tears. No sudden gasps for air, only shaking hands.

Teresa winced at his pained ex pression, and within moments he had pulled her towards him, shaking and crying silently. She felt her chest tighten. She didn't want to see Kyin like this. Not now, not ever. Ignoring the fact that he was still shirtless, she wrapped her arms around him tightly and pressed her cheek against his hair, letting him cry it out without saying anything. All the misery he had kept bottled up was being released.
She felt something warm slide down her cheek, and with one hand reached up to wipe it off. It was a tear. Somewhere along the process she had started crying too, for Kyin and all that he'd gone through. "I'm sorry." She whispered, closing her eyes and leaning against him. There was something comforting about being held like this. No one had done it since she was a child. Sleep threatened to drag her away from consciousness, but she managed to stay awake.

Kyin shut his eyes tightly and kept crying. His breath quickening to gasps at times and the tears pouring down his pale cheeks. Being shirtless didn't even matter anymore. He was scared and tired and alone. He felt like nothing could be done now and felt like he had nothing more to live for. Hugging Teresa brought back so many memroies of when Riku would hug him. When Riku would beat people hwo picked on him. He relaxed his body, still crying silently and his arms dropped from around her. His weight was on Teresa and his body was limp. He had no more strength to even keep his head up. His eyes shut as thought he were sleeping. Everything felt so heavy and weak. Why would he cry now? Wasn't he supposed to not touch her? Wasn't he suppoed to have Riku hugging him? None of it mattered anymore. Riku opened the door and shut it silently behind him. He put the blankets on Kyin's bed and looked at them. "He... No way.. He started crying?" Riku sat on teh bed, behind Kyin and put his hand on Teresa's hands. Her skin felt so warm compared to Kyin's cool and tremblign body. "Teresa, I'm very sorry to ask you this, but can you sleep with Kyin? Once he's relaxed,e specialy when he cries, I hate movign him becuz he doesn't stop crying... Plz. I'm begging you. Just let my little brother sleep with you. I've never seen him cry like this beofre and I've never seen him relax in teh arms of anybody, besides me."

Woah. Teresa thought when Kyin went limp. A human body that made no effort to stay upright was much, much heavier than anyone could imagine before they actually experienced it. Still, she managed to hold him up, her arms still wrapped around him.
"Okay." She said to Riku, her face reddening slightly. She shook it off though; this was important. Teresa's fingers curled against Kyin's back. "It's no trouble, don't worry about it."
I just hope my absence won't be discovered.
Night patrols didn't happen often, since the orphanage knew they'd suppressed just about everybody already, but there was still a chance.
Pushing both hers and Kyin's pillows to where they should be with one hand, she grabbed the covers and lay down, bringing Kyin with her. The orphanage wasn't very generous with their cots; they weren't very wide at all. Teresa had to cling to Kyin's arm to keep from falling off.
She glanced at Riku, waiting for him to turn off the lights.

Kyin let his body just fall where Teresa had let him. He kept his arm as steady as he could for Tersa. Instinctivly, he pulled her toward him and wrapped his arms around her like he would his brother. He burried his face in her shoulder and let out a breath of air that relaxed his whole body. Teresa was pressed against Kyin so she wouldn't fall and Kyin kept her there, just in case she rolled over. He yawned and let all his muscles relax. His mind wandering off. Riku looked at Teresa and smiled slightly. "You wana take my cot instead? Mine is bigger than Kyin's because I weight more than he does. They expected me to get fat here for some reason adn gave me a larger cot. It can easily fit you and him. I can slide him over and you'll slide with him cuz of how tightly he's holding you.." He looked at Teresa and patted his cot. His was fluffier and you could tell. When he pat it, it sunk down.
