she's not going to attempt to slip the flower crown onto his head lest she end up a burnt crisp as a result, though the colorful crown of reds & yellow flowers hangs from her index finger as she offers it to him, along with a package of assorted comics wrapped with a red ribbon. ' hey, i heard today's your birthday ! so -- happy birthday !! i, uh ... i hope you like action themed comics. ' & she offers a wide smile.
BAKUGOU’S BIRTHDAY 2K18 / ACCEPTING ! / @thuskindlyiscatter
HE WASN’T EXPECTING GIFTS , NOT FROM his peers anyway ------ something from mom and dad , sure . a call from his grandmother , a weird email from his aunt with dancing animals and sunflowers and blurry photos inserted into where the faces should be . gifts from the people obligated to love him , as bitter as the thought may be . but not from anyone else , not from her , and there’s a moment where he simply stands there like an idiot , staring at the gifts being offered forth while both saying and doing absolutely nothing . it’s rude but he’s rude so it’s probably expected and on that note he really doesn’t know why she got him anything , why this girl would bother to spend her money ( and time by the looks of that flower crown in her hands ------ he can’t imagine she bought that ) on someone like him , all ego and no heart , pride and a rudeness that can’t even be labelled as blunt honesty but she did , clearly she did , so now he has to address that and he isn’t entirely sure how .
step one : taking the presents from her . that , he can do , reaching out after an unnecessarily long moment to snatch the comics & crown from outstretched hands and that’s great , grand , fucking fantastic but doesn’t know where to go from here so he starts flipping through the pages . skimming , head down , buying him a few spare seconds to remember how to respond to something without rage infused in his response . he doesn’t have these ones yet , he notes . a lucky guess on her part , but he’s appreciative .
❛ the hell’s the flowers for , do i look like some kinda fuckin’ wood nymph ? ❜ unfortunately , he’s how he is so his appreciation comes preceeded by something unnecessary . he sounds ungrateful , but he isn’t . he doesn’t really mind it , in a way it’s nice that someone put personal effort into a gift . ❛ but ah ... i guess the comics look worth a read . ❜ pause . it sounds so empty , when that isn’t how the gesture makes him feel at all , and for a moment he’s angry ------ with himself , not her . with this boy hollowed out and filled up with everything but softness , everything but charisma and thankfulness and the ability to show people he’s more than a burning ball of anger and self - reliance . but it’s not her fault he’s like this , and so he tries , one more time . ❛ ... i meant , they’re nice . been lookin’ for somethin’ to read lately so ... thanks . ❜ he hopes that’s better . it’s about as much as his mouth is willing to let him do .
