Raspberries (GoldenWolf)

Gold's POV

"There are raspberry bushes in the woods behind the shop!"

"I am aware." I looked up at her for a moment, before returning to my work.

"Why haven't you picked them?"

"Why would I?"

"You could make pies."

I watched her for a moment, "I don't bake."

"Yah, but I do. Come on!"

I took a deep breath, "Fine, let's go." I couldn't say no to her. She let out a screech that anyone passing by could have heard. She grabbed my hand and we headed for the woods.

I walked through the woods arm in arm with Ruby. As soon as she spotted the raspberry bush she took off towards it. I chuckled at the sight of the young girl.

"Are you coming."

"Yes dear." I slowly made my way to the bush.

She handed me a bowl, "Pick the dark purple and black ones only."

I nodded and looked over the green, red, purple, and black berries. I started to pick the ones I thought were ripe. I looked over at Ruby, who was eating more raspberries then she was putting in her bowl. "Are you just going to eat them all?"

She giggled, "Try one."

I plucked one from the bush, carful not to catch myself of the thorns. I looked it over for a second before putting it into my mouth. I made face at the taste.

She laughed, "Bitter?"

I nodded, "Yes, why would you eat this."

She continued to pick them, and examine each one, "You just have to know witch one are good." She plucked one and placed it between her lips, bitting off a piece. "Here, try this one." She still held it between her lips.

I stepped forwards, wrapping one arm around her back and pulling her close. I kissed her lips, and took the berry. Then I pulled back.

"What did you think of that one?" She smirked.

"Still a bit bitter."
