[ said near immediately, and even though he’s smiling so stupidly, his arm is still around the bag. thinking he might as well pull out the craft portion of what’s in it, falco flips open the bag’s slip just enough to pull out what he knew was already there. no need to expose everything! ]
Thanks for the sandwich.
[ as he puts down: two antler pieces, and three different paper bags on the tabletop. ]
You're wel... come... oh. Those things. I've seen them around.
[He's been walking around a bit, after all. And it's not like he's totally uninformed, just underinformed. Which may be worse, now that he thinks about it.]
Alright, [ right— yeah. now with just one (two, technically) more things left in his bag, falco picks up the sandwich and takes a chunk. he didn’t have a grand apetite, but now he’s a little more into the idea of eating. besides that— he’s sliding a wrapped up, colorful little paper bag to jun’s side of the table. ] mhm.
[ his time has come. innocently enough, falco only replies back after a significant few moments of chewing. the little red string wrapped around it may just be enough of a giveaway, but just to create more suspense: ]
[ he’s feeling cheeky with that mouthful smile he’s wearing despite the nudge. yes, he is enjoying this. what he enjoys most is the unwrapping, which will soon reveal iced sugar cookies of varying shapes and designs meant to be holiday-esque.
meant, because falco wasn’t a master icing wielder. ]
[ falco’s thing is gift giving, not actually expecting to receive anything in turn, so when he does, eyes quietly following the other up and down the stairs— he gets a wooly scarf held out to him. he likes the colors, rubbing the wool between his fingers for that warm feel. even as he speaks there is a soft, palpable surprise to his voice, almost like a gasp. ]
You . . . Picked this out for me?
[ hold on. he definitely has to wrap his neck up now! ]
[Falco it's already warm in here - okay. He lets the protest die in his throat and just nods.]
I thought you might like it. It's... really cold, and you never know where you'll end up in Trench, so I just thought... it might be helpful. I want you to be safe and warm and happy.
[ he still must! he needs to see how it feels! and wool has warmth to it indeed. he has all of it wrapped enough to cover half his face, and he hooks two fingers to pull them down and reveal the much growing smile there coming from the earlier surprise. ]
I feel safe. It’s warm— and I’m so happy.
[ he must take the other’s hand with both his, now, turning his body to face him in their seats. fingers pluck at fingers and curl where they can, and through it, falco has reached his highest flushed hue of green. ]
[ aaaAAAHHHH HE IS GOING TO EXPLODE. he can’t take that with a straight, hidden face any longer! in fact, he gets so fuzzy and flustered in the good kind of way that—
[ he's pine-tree green at this point. and all this angry sort of fluster is all a mock, he's not actually upset, which shines in the way he's trying to hide a more bashful grin behind another playful stuff of the other's face. ]
Maybe you won't be able to say anything more if I put stick enough in—

We can start in on that after you eat.

[He gets up and heads upstairs, coming down quickly with a bundle of fabric in his hands.]
I... um. Didn't get time to wrap it, but...
[He hands it over to Falco - it's a scarf, made of thick yarn in tan with blue and green ends. He thought maybe the other might like the colors?]
I hope... I hope it helps.

Date: 2023-01-03 05:53 pm (UTC)[He blushes a bit, ducking his head slightly.]
You look good, but you always look good, Falco. You're... really cute...
[He's more mumbling into the table at this point but it's fine! Totally fine!]
no subject
Date: 2023-01-03 11:27 pm (UTC)it’s a good thing!! he has a scarf! so he could bury the rest of his face in it, scrunching the fabric up to hide up to his eyes in wool. ]
Th-thank you— f-for the scarf, that is— I think . . . You’re cute, too.

Date: 2023-01-04 06:03 pm (UTC)[He did not anticipate that response. His cheeks go red and he ducks his chin into his chest.]
I... you're... you're welcome. And I'm not... I'm not that cute, I'm just... a plain-looking guy. But you just look so lovable...
