“josh NO – youre gonna break it.” he practically yells, desperation on the tip of his tongue as he snatches the first box out of his boyfriends hands – before presenting it back to him much more delicately. “i cheated, because this is kinda from your mom and me, but i chose it. OH SHOOT – wait. dont open it i’ll be back in like two minutes.” he almost sprints out of the room, returning in seconds with flowers in a vase, placing them beside the bed. “–okay, better. everything is here. open it.”
josh watches with widened eyes as his present is ripped from his grip, only to be gently placed back into his hands. okay, no shaking, then. something expensive, perhaps? or maybe something made of glass. “ GOOD. if she chose, she would have bought me something i’ve already got. one year she bought me the same shirt three times on three separate occasions.” he continues inspecting the gifts on the bed when cooper dashes away, his attention only wavering from them when he sees the boy place the flowers down. josh doesn’t care much for flowers, but knowing cooper brought them for him still made it special. his face breaks into a grin as he’s given the okay, immediately ripping the wrapping paper to pieces to reveal the brand new camera underneath. “ holy shit– are you serious?! coop! ” he places the box down VERY carefully before tackling the smaller boy in a hug and pressing kisses against any skin he can reach. “ dude, it’s amazing! it’s the EXACT fucking one i wanted, too – my god, you really DO listen to me, don’t you? ”
