Henry turns around and makes his way to his desk. The door shuts on its own.]
Just here to have a laugh, then.
[He sees how it is. Anyway, he unearths the tiara from the box and turns to show it to Alec. It is sparkling and delicate and very not something Henry would ever wear.]
I know. [But he’s still not putting it on!! Case in point, he turns to put it right back down on the desk.] Thankfully, Minato looked just as embarrassed to give it to me.
[“Thankfully”.]
I think it’s safe to say your gift is the best one out of the lot.
The dart board was from Minato. A giant gummy bear from Nagito. A slinky that I'm pretty sure is from Genya. That fucking pickle you gave me. And Ori gave me my very own set of D&D dice.
[Henry has always known what he wants. Alec just happens to have slotted himself right into the center of all those wants, as of late, like a black hole devouring all else--
Not that he expected a rejection, but he's pleased to hear his willingness to stay, all the same.]
You know, I'm starting to realize there's more than one use for that portal you've set up in my room.

Oh, and Minato gave me a tiara.
no subject
[ A TIARA THO ]
where are you at?
no subject
I’m in my room.
[He never left, having texted Alec almost immediately after finding the gift on his bed.]
no subject
no subject
That curious about the book? Or [god forbid] the tiara?
[But he steps back to let him in, all the same.]
no subject
Definitely the tiara.

Well?
no subject
What, not gonna put it on?
[ HE'S KIDDING. ]
no subject
Unless you’re already cashing in your IOU, then no. I’m not putting it on just so you can laugh at me.
no subject
It was a joke.

[He doesn’t mean the dice.]
no subject
Funny, but random.
no subject
[Despite his tone, soft and serene like (almost) always, there’s a hint of finality to it. Yes, Alec’s counts because he gave it to him.]
It’s definitely the one I actually intend to use. But now you have to share: what all did you get?
no subject
[ He ticks it off on his fingers as he goes. ]

no subject
You got dice, too? What goes around comes around.
no subject
[ The corner of his mouth quirks. He thought it was funny, in an ironic sort of way. ]
no subject
Themed just for you. Mine were similar. [Not purple, but black and red. Fitting.] Some higher power out there thinks they're being funny.
no subject
[ Even if their sense of humor is often not funny at all. ]
no subject
[But no, it's not funny.]
You're doing gift-giving for the evening, right?
no subject
no subject
[Henry, as seems to be the case thus far, is never shy about asking.]
Or at least for a little while longer. Don't fly off just yet.
no subject
Fine by me. I've got nowhere to be.
