Just a small few chapter story I had the idea of. It's nothing major. It could only have like 5 chapters. I don't want it to be all that long :p

I own nothiiing! But...! The current character you know for now as Ziel! And I barely even own him...because I got the idea for the name and his basis elsewhere. And his companion in this story. So...I really don't own anything but the plot XD

Review please!

You hate him. You can't help but him. After all…he was your reason for everything. Your reason for being, your reason for madness,…you're reason for being all by yourself.

You met him a very long time ago. You were still young and by certain terms he was almost middle aged, but he looked as old as you were.

He blinked at you, with his wavy curling pale violet hair and his bright blue/grey eyes. You blinked back, startled by his out of place appearance in the street before you.

You'd been walking, going to the library, returning a book. Going along the market street of your city. Your old home. He walked by with some other male with brown hair that stuck up in a shocked sort of way with a small tail at the back and a silly looking cowlick.

You hadn't been paying attention and accidentally bumped into him. He grabbed your shoulders so you wouldn't fall when you began to wobble backwards. He blinked at you. You blinked back and he smiled, kindly and warmly.

You remember the blush that heated your face as you jumped back and continued to say that you were fine and you were sorry. You remember his laugh, how it made you smile.

"No worries. I just hope you're actually okay and not lying to me." He'd said.

You stumbled out more apologies. He'd waved them off, spotting the book in your hands.

"How bout I go with you?" He smiled, stepping aside and motioning towards the library. You don't know why but you accepted. He turned to his companion that was giving him a worried look. He told him he'd see him later.

The other man had sighed and shook his head. Mumbling a negative comment and walking away.

"So what's your name?" He'd asked. He kept a polite distance as if he knew you were awkward around strangers. You look up at him, finally actually noticing his height. You yourself were always quite tall, but he stretched a few inches above you.

"Medusa." You didn't wanna tell him your last name, and he didn't push to know.

"Medusa huh?" He smiled, it didn't make him seem weird or crazy. But even nicer than you'd first thought. "I'll call you Meh-Meh."

You blush again, feeling silly that a stranger can make you feel like a silly teenage girl again. But after all,…you are still innocent then.

You ask him for his name. He smiles more and rubs the back of his neck. "I'm not allowed to tell you my real name. So,…for now…you can call me Ziel."

He stops, you take an extra step and blush more when you realize you were paying so much attention to him you hadn't noticed you'd reached your destination.

"I'll see you around Meh-Meh." He'd grinned.

You smile and nod, paying somewhere inside your soul that it's tomorrow and you can learn more about him.

He waves to you and runs back the way you'd came. You wave back until he turns. You notice how cute his hair looks when he runs. You feel foolish for thinking something so childish and walk into the library.

You're barely aware of the smile on your lips.
