Naib x Reader: Duo Gifts

It was Naib's birthday. To celebrate, the survivors and hunters of the manor threw him a surprise birthday party in the kitchen. There was a large cake, foods and drinks, and lots of party games.

As the party raged on, people found ways to sneak Naib his gift. For example, Mike forced him into a washroom stall to change into his gift, which was a tank top with the words 'birthday boy' on top. You stood nearby, waiting for Mike to finish with his shenanigans so you could present Naib with your gift, but throughout the night, he was continuously stolen away by other survivors and hunters. For the majority of the party, you were forced to stand on the side. After being led away for the hundredth time, you gave up. Setting your gift on top of the fridge, you decided to eat some food.

Eventually, Demi was somehow able to ferment her alcoholic soda, and the party erupted in chaos. People just couldn't control themselves with the alcohol, and went wild. Sometime during the craze, you had to convince Mike not to strip dance on the counter. Soon, the party died down once most of the attendees were drunk and tired.

With most survivors and hunters resting on the couches and blankets in the kitchen and neighbouring rooms, you took the opportunity to look for Naib. But as you handed out bottles of water, you couldn't find him.

Slightly disappointed, you handed the last bottle of water to a drowsy Fiona. You'd help clean up later—for now you needed to find Naib. Grabbing your gift from the fridge, you inspected it for damage.

It was in mint condition. The red box had suffered visibly no damage from the outside and the shiny blue ribbon remained intact. You sighed in relief and pocketed the box. With the gift, your heart raced as you searched for the mercenary. You rushed through the manor grounds, checking his secret hideaways. However, he was nowhere to be found.

Feeling a bit defeated, you circled around to the back of the manor. You sped through the long grass, scanning for him. Then, out of the corner of your eye, you found him lying beneath the shade of a small tree, on the grassy patches of the courtyard.

Your heart fluttered at the sight. The tall grass gently cradled his body as he lay in it, eyes closed with his hands behind his head. He was still wearing the 'birthday boy' tank top Mike had gifted him, but across his legs draped the sweater that he'd received from Fiona. The evening sun casts a pinkish glow onto his skin, and a light breeze ruffled bits of his hair. It was quiet, the only audible sounds were of the grass dancing in the wind, and your breath.

You slowly made your way towards Naib, careful with your steps. As you got closer, you could see his chest slowly rising and falling, and the corners of his eyes twitching slightly.

"Hey."

His eyes snapped open, widening as he looked for the source of the sound. As he sat up, his eyes met with yours and he smiled.

"Didn't see you there," Naib stifled a yawn, stretching his arms up. His tank top rose with his arms, briefly exposing his stomach. You averted your eyes from the flash of skin, and offered the box to him.

"For you." He raised an eyebrow, and reached up to accept the box. The box was small enough for one hand of his to grab, and when his fingertips briefly brushed against yours, your breath hitched.

Naib inspected the bow, turning it upside down and gently tapping on the lid. He aggressively shook the box from side to side, and you chuckled.

He tilted his head in confusion. "What's so funny?" His eyes followed you as you sat on the grass next to him. The gift fell into his lap as he shuffled over to give you space under the tree with him.

"It's a gift. Happy birthday Naib."

He smiled, patting the box. "You sure? It sounds empty."

"Just open it!" You insisted.
