Zero looked up and blinked. "...I..." He frowned. He didn't want Leon to get hurt again...If he went, he might as well get into another fight with his mom and, faint again...He didn't want that. "If...you feel the need to." He said at last. Even though he knew it was best for him to not go. "...But I don't want you to go."

Leon said" very well I won't go but if you come back with any wounds I'm going to be pissed." He gave a slight nod and stood up. He walked over to his desk and sat down starting to write again.

Zero nodded and smiled. "Okay. I'll be right back." He said, sliding his headphones on and left to get his things. Glad that Leon didn't come, but also scared that he didn't.

Leon started writing swiftly trying to get all his ideas down before he forgot. He looked outside a few times wondering how it felt to freely walk around like the other members. After the last fight he was in he refused to leave the house and decided to spend his time writing.

Zero went home. Hoping that his mom wasn't there, but of course she was. He heard her drinking at the couch. He slowly went over to his room, only to get pulled back by the collar. "Where did you think you're going, you little runt!? You told others? You told others about me? You--" She raised the beer bottle in her hand and growled. About to swing it at him. Zero whimpered and quickly said. "I'm going to leave, mother!" He said, even with his headphones on, he was panicking. Even with the music, he could hear his mom, and every single word lashed out at him. Zero whimpered even more and tried to leave. "Tsk. You better."

Leon paused and looked up his eyes narrowed. He cracked his neck before going back to work. He didn't look up again but he was worried about Zero and it was obvious to tell. He shook his head a bit but tried to act like he wasn't worried.

His mom lets him go after knowing that he was leaving. Huffing over at him and grunted. Looking away and sat back down at her table, drinking some more beer. Zero sighed softly and quickly packed the small amount of clothings that his mom actually bought for him. And headed for the door, only to be stopped by his mom again. "So who was that bitch on the phone the other day?" Zero stopped and gulped. "...I...don't---" His mom threw a glass cup at him, hitting the wall beside him and cuts his cheeks. "Bull, fucking, shit! I told you you are not allowed to tell anyone about me! You little liar." Zero quickly turned around and left the house. Heading back to the base. Panting a little.

Leon sighed and stood up he wanted to leave and do something. He walked to the kitchen and started cooking. He didn't cook often but since the others left he had no choice in the matter. He pulled out some pots and pans, grabbed a knife and two big spoons. He set everything out and grabbed two pork chops putting them onto the pan. He washed his hands and pulled down a box of rice. He then started cooking.

Zero grunted and touched the wound on his face. Blood dripped down from the cut but...it wasn't that big of a deal, right? He sighed and went back home. "I'm home, Leon." He said, setting the only suitcase in the room, and looks up. Going over to the kitchen and giggled. "You're cooking? That's a first."

Leon said, looking up for a second" no it's not I do this sometimes but not very often......what happened to your face?" He walked over to Zero and lifted his chin looking at the wound. Leon shook his head and said" sit down." He left for a minute and brought back a first aid kit. He said" I'm not as good as Blake but I can fix that wound."
