“ present “ ll fuyuhiko & shiori

Was it strange that he cared so much about a present for someone he’d only just met this year- Someone who didn’t even entirely know who he was yet? He knew he could change that at any time. But? He didn’t want to tell her his title just yet. Not yet. No way.
It was good to meet someone who wasn’t scared of him. He wasn’t going to break that fragile balance.
Not yet. He wouldn’t risk it yet. However? That didn’t mean he didn’t care- Kuzuryuu wasn’t the type to go out of his way for presents, and the fact that he’d only found out about this last minute? Well, he had to get creative. And? The fact that he was one of few who knew her talent here at this school? Well, it made it a little easier for him to think of something to bring. ( It simply required him heading home for the day- He’d only just barely made it back in time for this. )
He didn’t bring her present. He had to leave it in his room- It wasn’t as though he could really go around carrying a w e a p o n throughout the school. And the gun he’d pulled from his family’s armory? Well, it had been custom crafted years ago, with only one matching gun. The second in the pair was currently in use. It was the gun he kept himself. He’d brought her the unused twin. A black-metal handgun, decorated elaborately with gold. It wasn’t the strongest thing- It had been made for decoration, intimidation. . . In some cases. However? He knew she could put it to better use.
“… well. Nothing’s really the matter. But? If you’re not busy, do you mind comin’ with me? I know it’s short notice, but…” With that, the blond scratches the back of his head. Honey-hued eyes shifting to the side- He wasn’t good at surprises. He wanted to straight up tell her that he’d gotten her a present. But, for some reason? The freckled Yakuza was feeling a little playful.
If he could surprise her? On her birthday? Even if it wasn’t a classic gun, or even a collector. . . Perhaps the fact that the only existing duplicate was a gun he owned? Perhaps that had some value to “ f r i e n d s. ” ( Or? Maybe someday, it would condemn him? She would be the only person in the world who could prove that his handgun was involved. . . ) But? He didn’t know that yet. Nor did he care to- SCHOOL DAYS were meant to be simple. ( “FRIENDSHIP” ) was meant to be simple. And he didn’t want to go complicating it just yet. “If you don’t mind?”
