Online Friends (Short Story)

This is just an AU idea I had for Kiku. It's actually an AU where he has an abusive father and finds peace with roleplay. A few of the backstories are the same as they are in Tortured Souls.
Also I teared up a little.
--------

The pokeball backpack hit the ground with a light thud, though it was loud enough to make his father start yelling, threatening to come up there with a knife if he didn't quiet down. Kiku gulped, mumbling a quick sorry and locked his door just in case. He walked over to his bed, laying down and pulling his phone up. He made it so he was facing the door, just in case. He logged onto Saiko, going straight to his Black Butler chat. They didn't have any thing going at the moment, so they would just chat like always. Be noticed his two 'best friends' were online. He typed a quick hello.

You: hello
Ludwig: hey Ciel.

Kiku smiled a bit, it felt nice to for once be known as someone else other then Kiku Honda, that abused kid. Even though they all knew each other's real names, they called each other by there character names. Typed up another reply.

You: hey Greenhill, how's it going?
Ludwig: pretty good.
Feli: :( I see, no one cares enough to ask me how I'm doing.
You: *chuckles* how are you doing Finny?
Feli: great! ^^
Feli: heh...
Feli: hey Kiku?

Kiku went wide eyed, they hardly ever used their real names. This had to be serious, so he made a quick reply,
deciding to be just as serious.

You: yeah Feli?
Feli: how are things at home?
You:...

Kiku felt his heart shatter. He wished he could reach threw the screen and hug Finny and Greenhill-or rather Feli and Ludwig. They cared about him more then anyone he knew outside of the internet. He also wished to hug the rest of the chat.

Ludwig: Kiku?
You: things are... Decent.
Ludwig: is your father starving you again?

Kiku's stomach rumbled at the mention of food.

You: yeah...
Feli: we'll put together another care package for you then. Anything you want besides food?
You: a new pillow would be nice.

When Feli and Ludwig found out about Kiku's situation, they had started mailing 'supplies' to him. Though they never mailed them to him. They mailed them to a teachers house, that way Kiku's father never caught them. Kiku's teacher would bring it in the next day, and Kiku would hide it all in his backpack. Feli and Ludwig actually knew each other and attended school together, so they ran out to Wallmart when Ludwig's older brothers fell asleep to put together care packages for him.

Feli: anything you want that's not needed for survival?
Ludwig: perhaps some Pocky?
You:... I love you guys, seriously.
Feli: we love you too Kiki.
Ludwig: no matter what you'll have us.
You: I'm so glad to have come across your guys' accounts...
Feli: and we're glad you did too.
