Disclaimer: Nope, nope. Not mines.
Notes: Manga-verse. Might be OOC, might not be (I try…); chance of grammar/spelling errors.

Pairing: Train/Eve
Genre: Romance/Friendship
Summary: Collection of the Train/Eve pair to spark my muse. ;; 01: Red

It took me nearly an hour to come up with a title before deciding on this one. Oh, I'm such a silly child~ ;D
This is simply to help spark ideas for (longer) Train/Eve oneshots or stories too short to be alone. I have trouble putting the one I'm working on into words so…

I hope you enjoy.
You can look at is as friendship or something more… Depends on you.
Reviews are much loved.

She knew it well. Red. Only one word came to mind when she saw or heard it; the color was on her hands and she had caused it to spill many times. Blood.

"What's wrong little princess?"

She broke away from her thoughts, eyes flickering up. Train gazed at her looking slightly concerned. She simply gazed at him blankly.

"You've been staring at the rose for a while now," he replied.

She glanced at it before deciding to speak, "It's… red," he looked confused, "Red… like blood."

She saw an understanding in his eyes as he walked over to her. She noticed a bowl in his hand as he set it down on the table. His hand ruffled her hair with a smile. "Blood isn't the only thing red, little princess."

She blinked, her gaze wandering to the bowl he set down.

Strawberries.

She reached a hand out, taking one from the bowl with her fingers. She stared at it as the words dawned her.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips, briefly turning to him, "You're right," she admitted and took a bite of the strawberry.

She was no longer in that dark world.

Her hand reached for another, "Hey!" He cried. "Little princess, those are my strawberries!"

She couldn't help but let the smile spread and the amused sound that went past her lips.
