"[color=7ea7d8]A-Alex!?[/color]" Michael stuttered in surprise as he caught her, his heart beating rapidly as Alex practically collapsed onto him. His mind was blank, unable to function from the sudden development, and all he could do was stare at her. Fortunately, Alex came to her senses faster and decided to hide in her backpack. After a second more of his continued silence, Michael suddenly doubled over and burst into laughter. Yeah, that was the Alexandria he remembered. Not the idealized version of her that kept popping up in his mind, but a simple girl who performed such silly actions. 

Michael crouched down and began to pick up her papers. "[color=7ea7d8]I'm not mad, Alex,[/color]" Michael reassured her. "[color=7ea7d8]But really, you should take better care of yourself.[/color]" Handing over the papers and folders he had collected back to Alex, Michael continued, "[color=7ea7d8]Come on, take that thing off your head. And seriously, quit making me worry about you so much.[/color]" Then he realized what he was saying. Clearing his throat, he said, "[color=7ea7d8]I- I mean, um...[/color]" Thinking quick, Michael reached into his own backpack and handed over to Alex a small plastic container with a basic homemade lunch inside. It was his own lunch, but he was willing to part with it, especially since it seemed Alex needed it more than he did. "[color=7ea7d8]Here. You, uh, said you hadn't eaten, right? K-keep your strength up,[/color]" Michael said, turning away as he blushed fiercely.
