Meirou was walking through the woods with a basket on her arm, she was going to gather berries today. After years of experience she knew where all the best spots were and the best time to gather them was. It was late afternoon, just before dusk. She had just gotten up.

Under a tree a white hair boy laid with his back up against a tree resting. His sword in front as his arms rested in front of it p[rotecting it from anyone that would steal it. He stired a bit but still had his eyes closed for the moment.

Meirou stopped short when she saw Zechs, what was going on lately, she'd managed to avoid people unless absolutely necessary for years and now all of a sudden they just seemed to pop up everywhere. She studied him, he seemed to be asleep, she decided to try to sneak past him, *snap* she had stepped on a twig hidden under the leaves. She froze and waited to see if he'd wake up.

As the snap reached his ears Zechs got up as his eyes shot open. He garbed his sword with one hand and the sheaft with his second hand as he went to unsheaft it when he realized it was nothing at all. He blinked as he saw the girl and blushed from embrassment. "Oh.. umm...."

Dam, I should have ran. But then he probably would have chased me. But I might have gotten away. But he might have caught you. But... All this ran through her head as she looked at Zechs. She had no idea what to do now.
um... Hello...

"Umm.. Hi... sorry about that." Zechs threw his sword back over his shoulder as he was slowly getting over the embrassing act he just did. He didn't reconize the girl and since he just scared her or just made it look like he was a strange person he would either clam her down or make things worse. He waved one hand out to the side as he held his other arm close to his chest as he bowed introducing himself. "My name is Zechs I'm terrbily sorry if I scared you there."

It's alright, I'm... Uh... Well, I'm used to it. Oh...
She remembered herself and bowed back, though never taking her eyes off him.
My name is Meirou. I'm, uh... I'm sorry if I interrupted your nap, I was just going to pick some berries. I tried to be quiet.
She pointed in the general direction of the bushes which were still out of sight.

"I see now." He glanced over at the berries as he smiled. "Then I shall help you get some berries. It will save you time."

She looked at him, startled. What was with everyone lately?
Um... Okay?
She led the way to the bush and began pulling berries gently and putting them in her basket looking at him anxiously from time to time.

Zechs thought nothing of helping someone out like this. He was quick at pulling berries but he was rougher with the plants than Meirou was. He would gather a bunch and droped them off with her as he went back to picking.

Meirou was working quickly, but she was distracted by Zechs as she tried to make sure they didn't get too close to one another. She had serious proximity issues and was very jumpy when people were so near her.

Zechs was mindlessly working away as he wasn't keeping his distance at times. He was focused on the berries and not Meirou's nervousness when he was close.

Then the moment Meirou was dreading happened. They both put their berries in her basket at once and their fingers touched. It was only the lightest, barely a brush of skin, but it was enough.
No!
She collapsed falling forward, overcome with pain as every time Zechs had ever been hurt, every harsh word, every tear shed all poured into her at once.

Zechs blinked as he watched her fall over. Not knowing what caused it he kelt down beside her as his hand wavered over her but not touching her as he didn't know what was wrong. "Meirou!... whats wrong?"

Meirou lay on the ground shaking and crying.
No, no, no.
