This gonna be my last chapter for awhile, Cherish it with your heart.
---------------------------------------------
The sun was at the high point of the day, sending down a ray of sunshine that radiated nothing but heat. The patrol had come in minutes prior, being sun kissed and dirty from the hours they were away. You had finished your daily duties in the small farm that resided in Jackson, walking around with a small bowl of freshly picked cherries, before you decided to rest at home.
Turning the corner, you catch sight of Ellie. Both you and her hadn't been friends, occasionally saying hello's and goodbye's whenever you were around. You stopped short at the sight of her, hunched over and wrapping a piece of gauze around her arm.
You slowly start walking towards her as you watch her lean against the wall behind her, you could see her wince from the pain in her arm as she unsuccessfully continued to wrap it. "Hi, Ellie." you said softly, stopping short beside her.
She looked up from what she was doing, "Hi, Y/n."
You began walking closer to her, dropping to your knees. You set the bowl of cherries net to the tattered girl. "Do you need help?" you asked from beside her, showing a soft sign of worry as you watched her.
She shook her head in response as she struggled with the piece of gauze. Watching as she struggled, you decided to jump into action. Softly grabbing her slightly Shakey hand, you take the roll of gauze from her and begin wrapping it around her arm. "Why aren't you in the infirmary?" you asked softly, the closeness of the two of you making your warm breath fan her face.
"Its not that bad." she said as she furrowed her eyebrows. Her eyes made their way to the bowl of cherries you sat down before she looked back at her arm. "I didn't need help." she said as you finished her arm and sat back on your knees.
"Sure, Ellie." you laughed softly as you shook your head. Your body leaned back, letting your legs out from under you as you sat against the wall. Your legs found themselves stretched in front of you and crossed at ankles.
Ellie followed your mannerism, "I didn't." she shook her head.
You didn't say anything in response as your hand moved towards the bowl beside you, you lifted it from the group and put in on your lap. "You want a cherry?" you asked as you picked one up and bit into it. The juices surrounded the fruit as you removed the pit with your teeth before spitting it out beside you.
She didn't say anything before grabbing one from the bowl and bringing it to her lips, opening her mouth, she put the cherry in her mouth. leaving only the stem out as she chewed the fruit, finished what was in her mouth, she leaned to her side and spit the pit out.
Watching as she sat straight up, you noticed tints of red on and around her lips. The juices from the cherry staining and living on her face. She hadn't noticed. Leaning toward her, your hand finds its way centimeters away from her face before her green eyes widened and her hand instinctively swat away yours. "What are you doing?" she says as her cheeks begin to heat up.
"You have stuff on your face, calm down." you replied as you scooted closer to her before you began to bring your hand up once again. Getting closer to the red tint, your thumb rubs the juice and what tint you could get off. Removing any noticeable evidence that she had ate any cherries.
Her face was bright red as you leaned back against the wall, rubbing the mess on your fingers on your pants. "W-what was on my face?" she asked flustered as she looked at you.
You smile cheekily at her, "You had cherry lips...now you have a cherry face." you joke towards her before standing from your seat and dusting your pants off and picking up the remaining bowl of cherries. "Ill see you later, Ellie." you said as you began walking off.
