Saniwa Makes Oodenta a Plush Animal
♡ When you hand him the small plush, he holds it in the palm of his hand. Just Staring At It. No expression or grasp on it at all.
♡ It looks so tiny in his hand and his eyes are just taking in all the detail of it but refusing to let his fingers even touch it slightly in fear he may break it.
♡ You will probably grow a bit anxious as you watch him because on the outside, it looks like he doesn't know what to do with it and doesn't appreciate the effort you put in.
♡ Sohayanotsurugi would have to elbow his brother to get him to snap out of his trance with a smile on his face as he comments, "Your gift made me speechless, aruji!"
♡ Only when his brother gently elbows his arm does he realize that the world isn't just him and this plush animal.
♡ Oodenta is terrible at conveying his emotions well but realizing he was staring off into space, he will lock eyes with you once more and mutter a soft; "thank you".
♡ Before going back to looking at the stuff animal in his hand.
♡ That is really everything that happens that you see when you first hand over the gift. You don't see the animal again or hear Oodenta mention it again until many months later.
♡ Part of you probably thought he lost it or didn't care for it but that is the complete opposite of what actually happened.
♡ Oodenta was so enamored by the small little guy that he didn't want any harm to come to it. You took the time to sew something just for him and he didn't want to destroy it.
♡ Most days, he is too scared to touch it. He thinks just his grasp with tear it apart.
♡ He gives his new friend a spot in his room and makes sure they are always safe. They can get plenty of sun, and even gives it a bed at night.
♡ He is very doting to the friend you made him. Even if most days, he just stares at it at a far. Filled with fond emotions.
♡ On hard days of animals running away from him or he is feeling extra lonely, Oodenta does hold it gently in his cupped hands. Sometimes even falling asleep with it at night.
♡ No matter how careful he is with the plush animal, a day comes that breaks his heart.
♡ Thinking there was a speck of lint on his small friend, he tries to pull it off, only for the little guy's stitching rips.
♡ He is heartbroken. You took the time to make him something he cares so much for and he ruined it.
♡ If you think Oodenta is standoffish and doesn't make eye-contact before, it's on a whole another level after this incident.
♡ He CAN'T look you in the eye or even in your general direction. He is filled with so much guilt.
♡ It comes to the point where Sohaya has to step in again and tell you what happened.
♡ With your sewing kit in hand, you make your way to his room to fix his buddy.
♡ Oodenta blocks your path when he opens the door. He can not let you see the horror he committed.
♡ Regardless, you get passed the scary giant to see that the plush in in a small bed with what looks like a cast covering the spot where it ripped. It's too cute that you have to muffle your laughter to not hurt Oodenta's feelings.
♡ Honestly, the rip is not terrible at all. Just enough of the stitching came undone to have some of the fluff inside pop out slightly.
♡ You can tell he attempted to try to fix it himself but quickly gave up when he couldn't get the hang of it and thought he was making it worse.
♡ This is the only time that you realize Oodenta is wearing a very gloomy and concerned expression on his face. His eyebrows are knitted together as his glare is fixed on the ground. Almost looking like a dejected puppy that just got caught playing with a pillow and ripping it.
♡ You are able to fix it within a minute at most and gave the animal back to him, where he cradles it gently in his cupped hand. Staring again at it like when you first gave it to him.
♡ You tell him that whenever it needs fixing again, to come to your office so you can make sure to tie it together once again.
♡ You don't know if he will but clearly he treasures it plenty, so you feel pretty confident in the future he will ask you to fix it for him.
♡ Also making note to give his plush friend some more plush friends of its own.
♡ He may not smile or verbally express how much he cherishes the gifts you give him, but actions speak louder than words sometimes. And Oodenta's unapologetically can not mask how much he cares about his tiny plush animal friend.
