"kenma," you called out as you placed your controller down.

"yeah?"

"we should make code names for each other. i decided ill call you kenny." you said with a big grin on your face.

"..kenny??" he said blankly with his cat like eyes.

"uh huh. you can call me (weird nickname)"

"i'm fine with (first name)" he said, "another game?"

"yeah okay, kenny."

"gee.. stop that" he said as he chuckled.

| a month later |

"i dont want to go home yet, kenny." you said while holding his hand as he was walking you home.

"let's play again tomorrow, if you like to, that is."

"i would love to!! will you fetch me?"

"no. you have to walk on your own, im barely 6 minutes away." he chuckled as you reached the front of your house.

you stared at him not wanting to let go of his hand. but eventually, you had to let go. as you started walking towards your doorstep, you heard a faint "hey." from kenma.

you looked back and said, "hm?"

"i'll fetch you tomorrow.." and with that, the young raven head boy ran home.

"..cute" you mumbled to yourself, as you opened the door.

you looked out the window and saw really dark clouds. it looked like it'll rain. you heard faint thunder as you looked at your mom.

"mama, i'm going to kenma's house again. we're going to play" you said as you pulled the bottom of your mom's shirt.

"alright, (first name)-chan. you sure are having fun with him" your mom said as she chuckled and pat your head.

"i am having a lot of fun.. their house is quiet.. his parents aren't fighting.. and they don't have a scary basement."

the moment your mother heard everything you said, she stared in disbelief. "i'm sorry mama and papa are always fighting, (first name)-chan"

"We wouldn't be fighting if it weren't for you." you heard your father said as he angrily flipped the newspaper.

'he was always mad'  you thought to yourself.

"You're not going anywhere." your father said,

your mom angrily looked at him and said, "i already told her she can"

"Who gets to make the rules inside this house?" your father said.

"MOM DOES." you yelled at them and hurriedly went out the door.

you ran as fast as you could until you were a few minutes away from your house. you were only a few steps away from kenma's house. but your legs couldn't walk that far since you felt overwhelmed. the rain began to pour as you were left in the sidewalk.

"i told you i was going to fetch you. what are you doing in the rain?" you heard a familiar voice. rain stopped dripping to your skin, you looked up to see a black umbrella above you. and of course, kozume kenma.

"kenma.." you cried as you hugged him.

"i'm getting wet.." he mumbled, "but thats okay.. lets go home."

home, he said..

he felt like home more than anyone in your life.

"you feel safe." you said as you were holding his hands tightly.

"i'll try my hardest to make you keep feeling that way."
