[Prompt]
["a vivid memory of theirs"]

With his hands shaking ever so lightly, Bercilak knocked on the local seamstress' door.

It couldn't be cold, not on such a pleasingly sunny day. He pushed it to the back of his mind, taking it as nerves of talking to a grown up alone. It was his parents who usually talked to store clerks and the like, but as his father had told him; Bercilak would need to talk to them too.

And although he felt embarrassed to do so, he was eager to practice. Just like an adult would, the kit had offered his mom to pick up her dress from miss Mint's shop. All it needed was a quick fix, but for some reason, miss Mint's work had really slowed down for the past few weeks.

Bercilak felt a cold pit on his stomach. Every second the door remained closed only made his worry for miss Mint grow.

However, after the door opened, none of his worry went away, as behind the door he saw a strange face. A kit not resembling the lady he had come to look for, if anything, those unfamiliar green eyes reminded Bercilak of himself.

He had to words at all. His body shivered as he stared at the other boy. The air felt short on his lungs, and his still shaky hands were definitely sweating. He would have liked the situation more if his heart didn't feel like he had just run a mile. It was not normal at all. He though he was nervous, only at first though.

He knew was terrified.

And he just confirmed it was fear when his first reaction was to jump back when the other kit said a word.

"What," The kit repeated, his expression remaining neutral during the whole ordeal. If anything, he seemed annoyed.

Bercilak wished he was annoyed, being scared for no reason wasn't fun at all. He barely could think of what to say, he wanted to take off running.

But he just knew there was nothing to be afraid of. Just a kit he had never seen in his life before, in a town where everyone knew each other. In someone's house.

"Miss Mint!" Bercilak blurted out, remembering why he was even there, "Where is she!?"

The other kit now seemed somewhat taken aback, and Bercilak needed a moment to figure out it was because he had just shouted.

Embarrassing.

"Mint?" The kit said slowly as he switched the book he was holding from arm to arm.

And he said something else, Bercilak was sure, but his whole attention had gone to that book.

His mind went blank looking at that book.
Bercilak did not like that book. He had no idea what it was but he wanted to never see it again. It made him feel even colder. He stared at it until the other boy hid it behind his back.

That was embarrassing too, and weird.

Bercilak opened his mouth to apologize, he did not want to be weird to the other guy, that was just rude- but he shut it up when he heard miss Mint greet him.

"Berci! Ah, it's for your mom's dress, right?" The lady walked up to the door, a big bag of groceries in her arms, "Viktor, bring the green dress with dots."

The kit, Viktor, quickly ran inside and Bercilak immediately felt much more at ease. His eyes went to miss Mint and she seemed nervous.

"My son," She said quickly, "He's my son; Viktor."

With that, she rushed inside, probably to set the groceries down. And it didn't take long before Viktor came back holding the neatly folded dress. No book, thank god.

Bercilak gave him a small smile before Viktor shoved the dress into his arms, with an expression similar to a frown.

"Don't come back, pipsqueak," Viktor slammed the door shut.

And Bercilak was left staring at the door, offended. They were the same height, it didn't even made sense-

That whole situation had been too dumb and weird for him. He wanted to forget about it.

But he had to make mental note of telling miss Mint about Viktor's rude behavior.

Bercilak would not forget that.
