[ His eyes go to the gift, complete with a bow and everything. He stares at it for a while as though he's not sure what to do. Aindreas wouldn't have hesitated to accept a gift because it's the polite thing to do, but for Tech it's unusual because no one had ever gifted him anything before. So he approaches and swallows a lump in his throat. Well aware of how her eyes burn into him, he knows he has to open it.
He tugs at the bow and pulls open the lid of the box to peek inside at the sugar cookies. The details awe him. She put so much thought into this. Tech fights to smile and show his appreciation, except there's just this overwhelming emotion coming over him that leaves him wanting to cry instead. ]
They're...they're perfect.
[ He finally says once he's managed to regain control of his emotions and he steps forward to draw her into a hug. ]
I can't believe you did all of this for me. It's just...no one ever has, and...fuck. Thank you. They're definitely instagram worthy, which is the highest of compliments.
[ Kate doesn't recall ever being so nervous about someone liking what she's baked before. Before she had just assumed and had known that people would like her treats. She had been good at baking.
And so she watches him open the box, both worry and hope on her face. But the worry soon vanishes. She is so happy that he likes them. ]
You're welcome. I'm so glad you like them.
[ She returns the hug. She needs it. She wonders if he needs it too. ]
You said you had never had a birthday before and I thought that was sad. Everyone should have a birthday and a present. I wanted to do it.
[ Is she going to cry? Not quite but she is going to get misty-eyed. ]

Really? That's so kind of you to say.
