Riddle was, to say the least, pleasantly surprised when you presented a gift to him one morning
You hadn't spoken a word until he questioned you, having to explain that it was a gift to show your appreciation of having him around
And for being your friend
When giving him gifts became a regular occurrence, he began feeling as though he should show his gratitude
So when he invited you for tea he decided that was when he would return the favor
He thanked you with rosey cheeks, looking somewhere other than you as he handed you a small box
"What? Can't I smile sometimes?" 😡
Getting close to Leona is hard so the fact you're friends with him means a lot
He never told you that the two of you are friends, but the lack of hostility stands out
But when you came to him in the botanical garden with his lunch instead of Ruggie, he definitely felt closer to you albeit very confused
As time went on and you kept showing up and giving him gifts, he got suspicious- beginning to think you're just buttering him up
When you told that you wanted to let him know how much his presence means to you... he waved you off with a "tsk"
He didn't want to believe you, but knew you tended to keep your feelings to yourself and the fact you told him probably took a lot out of you
Leona might find himself helping you out sometimes, but who knows
Similar to Leona, Azul thought you were trying to get on his good side
But he didn't have too much of a problem with it because then you'd be willing to do favors for him
When he heard that someone requested to see the manager from Jade, he wasn't expecting a gift from you
Especially one so personalized and useful
A fountain pen was something he needed, his current one had been hitting the can
He racked his brain and deduced that he must've offhandedly mentioned it
The fact you remembered something so miniscule really stood out to him and despite being rather baffled, he managed to thank you
You explained on your own accord and he grew flustered
After you gave Kalim a gift for the first time, he saw that as the go ahead to shower you with gifts instead
Gift giving is a mutual thing and he's ecstatic every time
A friendship bracelet? He practically has tears in his eyes out of happiness
A study guide based off your notes from class? He's so grateful that he asks you if there's anything you want- even if it's something outrageous, he'll do his best
Kalim is very affectionate to everyone so big, warm hugs after you've given him a gift are basically mandatory
When you tell him how much you appreciate him and let him know he's one of the greatest friends you've had.. he does cry
And absolutely tackles you in a hug
"You're the greatest, if anything!!"
Vil is used to fan mail and compliments so when he saw a box on his desk he didn't think anything of it
It wasn't until he read the tag that the gift piqued his interest
He didn't expect to receive a gift from someone like yourself
He wondered what it was, but saved it until after he returned to the dorm
Now alone, he felt as though it was time to open it
And he was taken off guard once again
How had you managed to get your hands on the moisturizer he's had his sights on for the past month?
Despite acquiring one from Azul not too long ago, he wished to see if there was something better
Its expensive, definitely one of the higher end products he now owns-
Vil confronts you about it, chiding you about spending so much and how you should be more careful
You had to cut him off to let him know why and how you were able to afford such a luxury
Working your butt off ever since he mentioned it to Rook so you could do something nice for him
"Potato.. focus more on yourself."
Idia is filled with so much joy but his thoughts are making him feel bad
You wasted money on him- got him this game that you can't even play alongside him
He wonders if he should send a gift back to you, but what would you like?
Idia, despite being on the verge of pulling his hair out, decides to call you and asks if you'd like anything
"Pfft- Idia, just being with you is enough! You don't have to get me anything."
Oh sevens, you just laughed- is that fondness laced in your voice? At him of all people!?
"Th..then can you come over..? You can watch me play that game.."
He feels a tad sweaty, but he's happy
Although he feels worse after you keep getting him things and when you help him get a character from this gacha game- why are you spoiling him so 😖
"Are gift exchanges a common occurrence for humans, child of man?"
Malleus is grateful of every gift and keeps them as safe as possible
Knowing the reason as to why you shower him with such gifts makes him feel warm
He often thinks about getting you a gift, sometimes asking Lilia what would be best
It takes him a while to choose when Lilia gives him such a long list, but he's happy with his decision
Humans like simple things, little objects that hold meaning
So he struggled to make friendship necklaces
The clasps were easy to understand, but he kept underestimating his strength and kept bending the plastic string
But Mal could be content with knowing something he worked hard on would be a present for you
Nothing else could be as perfect as this
But once Grim realizes how much you're spoiling him, he'll ask what the heck is up
"What? Do you want me to stop?"
"NO- no. The great Grim is just worried about his henchmen! How do ya afford all this tuna anyways?"
He never got his answer *wipes tear* /lh
Despite loving the extra affection and attention you give him, he does think of doing something for you
Like... procuring a study guide for the upcoming history exam!
Hm? No.. he.. he didn't get it from Azul, what do you mean-
Grim offers to share his tuna with you when you give it to him sometimes
Maybe he'll cuddle up to you more at night
He totally does and is much gentler at waking you up if you sleep in
