"Apart from not having to ask permission, I also-"
"You bought a Christmas present for me?"
"-got you this, I hope you like it."
"Can I open it?"
"Yes, but not when I'm here."
"Why?"
"Because I'll feel bad if you don't like it."
"I automatically love it, because you gave it to me."
"That makes me feel worse, it's like you're obliged to like it."
"You ruined the mood, but whatever, I am going to open it and I am going to love it."
"You're going to be disappointed."
"Well aren't you in a great mood."
"Thank you very much."
"Merry Christmas to you too! How about we open our presents at the same time? Here is yours."
"You didn't have to get me anything."
"I wanted to."
"Well, thank you."
"You've thanked me twice, is everything ok?"
"Geez! Fine, I won't be appreciative anymore."
"Aw, damn it! Ready? 3. 2. 1. Open!"
"You just tore the wrapping paper! I wrapped it so nicely!"
"Cheer up, buttercup. My gift will make you better! Open it!"
"Ok, geez."
"Is this? No way! A Court of Wings and Ruin! It's not even out yet!"
"Well, it obviously is because I got it for you. I saw you squealing over the blue covered book."
"Because Rhys-"
"What about me?"
"What about you? And you got me a book voucher as well, are you kidding me?"
"No..."
"It was rhetorical."
"Whoops, I'm not an English student so I wouldn't know."
"Now I feel bad about my present."
"It's the thought that counts. There's more things inside your present, by the way."
"What? More? I can't accept this-"
"Yes you can and you will."
"It's too much."
"So?"
"So, there are better things to be spending money on than me."
"For once, I'm going to have to say you're wrong."
"Thank you, I mean it Connor, thank you. This is the best Christmas ever."
"The only Christmas I've celebrated, but still."
"There are many more to come."
"A meet and greet ticket? I think I'm going to faint! I'M GOING TO GET MY BOOKS SIGNED BY SARAH J. MAAS. Oh my God, breathe Leslie, breathe."
"Please stop hyperventilating, I'm not qualified to do CPR or anything. Breathe Leslie, calm down or else I'm going to have to knock you out or something."
"Ok, I think I'm good."
"..."
"Hugs and tears, I've got to say I wasn't expecting this. I'm not complaining, but like the tears kind of make me uncomfortable."
"Idiot. Now open my present."
"Yes, Milady-"
"Actually don't, it's crappy-"
"Relax, Christmas is meant to be fun, not stressful."
"Fine, open the box."
"Yes, ma'am. Oooo I love these, I swear you're trying to make me fat, but that's ok. Julian will be like 'what did you get for Christmas?' and I'll say 'fat, I got fat.'"
"That makes me feel worse."
"I like being round, I mean maybe I'll dress up as Santa. Mmm these cookies are good-"
"You just ate them all!"
"Sowwy, they taste good."
"And now you've got crumbs all over your face."
"Haha ha ha..... Oooo gold class movie vouchers, fancy, I think you're spoiling me too much. And you thought your gift sucked, pssh, how about seeing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them tomorrow?
"That was smooth as fuck-"
"Why thank you."
"You're welcome. Merry Christmas Connor."
"This is like the second time you've said my name, oh em gee!"
"..."
"Sorry, I mean, Merry Christmas Leslie."
