"You really didn't have to get me anything,"

"Oh, but I did,"

"May I ask...why?"

You paused for a moment.

"Well, you've been so welcoming, even if you were a bit antagonistic and unapproachable when we first met, but you've been lovely since!"

Giyuu let his hands slide into his pocket.

"You flatter me."

"Here," you said, thrusting your arms outwards to hand him a delicately wrapped gift box.

He accepted the box, carefully taking apart the wrapping paper revealing the most intricately designed silver watch and a bar of ridiculously overpriced dark chocolate.

He didn't say anything, but his eyes visited widened in both shock, and what you hoped was gratitude.

"Thank you," he smiled softly.

"Do you like it?"

"It's perfect,"

"That makes me happy,"

"You make me happy,"

And there it was, that feeling that had recently become too familiar.

Every sentence he spoke had the your blood on fire.

You awkwardly crossed your legs as Giyuu left to answer the door that had received multiple knocks.

Mai and Emi strutted in, smiling as they noticed you.

"Ohhhh, he didn't tell me you were coming too,"

You glanced at Giyuu as he followed behind them.

"Is anyone else coming?"

Giyuu's expression turned slightly sad.

"Not exactly...it's just us, physically,"

You gave him a confused look but didn't pry him with questions.

Although Mai and Emi didn't stop speaking the entire journey to the restaurant, Giyuu was oddly quiet and notoriously deep in thought.

Your sat in fists in your lap as you contemplated asking him if he was okay.

Of course, you didn't want to force anything out of him, but you were still worried.

So, you ended up texting him.

Despite him being literally a car seat away from you.

You weren't too bothered by how dry his texts were. It wasn't anything new. Plus, it was clear that he wasn't in the mood to talk about whatever was on his mind, so you left it at that.

Eventually, Mai pulled up outside the restaurant and beckoned, encouraging you out of the car.

"I'm gonna go and find parking. Emi, go and confirm the reservation and take this lot with you,"
