O P T I O N S
01 — the special occasion's gift. 'tis the season -- valentine's, birthday, or otherwise! you're basically obligated to get them something.
02 — the belated gift. so it's definitely a special day for the two of you -- you just don't remember what. luckily, it's the quality of your present that matters, right?
03 — the passive-aggressive gift. you're not mad. you just really felt the need to buy your unbelievably allergic friend a cat for no reason.
04 — the actually aggressive gift. you hate this person. but punching them in the face is really a gift to the world -- doesn't that count for anything?
05 — the joke gift. everybody knows laughter's the best present. just because nobody else laughs at the whitewash-bucket-over-the-door trick anymore doesn't mean this person won't!
06 — the gift of affection. maybe they did a good job with something! time to show your appreciation while conserving your budget and dispense one headpat. maybe two.
07 — the worst wingman ever gift. whether it's a pair of socks, teaching the skill of making snake straws, or pledging to serve as the wingman they so desperately need, you are not improving their life. oh well.
08 — the gift of time. maybe they're working too hard, spending their hours with the wrong friends, or just prioritising silly things. whatever the case, you're here to give them your time -- never mind any other plans they may have had today.
09 — the courting gift. have you even confessed yet? eh, who cares. clearly bribery's the best way to express your feelings.
10 — the gift to yourself. so you just bought a tea-set for a coffee person, wrapped a vacuum for your new housemate, or bribed someone at the dmv to pass along a sparkling driver's license just when you need a patsy to drive you around town! has anybody ever told you what a good friend you are?
11 — the half-wrapped gift. whatever you were preparing to give them, they just walked in on the middle of you getting busy with five rolls of wrapping paper. quick, guy, explain.
12 — the all-purpose gift. either you're regifting a spare toaster or you've realised there weren't enough options on this meme. invent away!

he won't be admiting what kind of gift he's offering

[headspacedad]

[End of a long day. The sun is setting somewhere behind buildings and the shadows are busy painting everything in muted colors and gray. The air smells like diesel and baked tarmac and a little breeze blows scraps across it, past the large open hanger doors. In the fall air, the low sound of machines is getting closer.

The Overwatch team, at least the ones that were assigned to this base, are coming back from a mission.

And Shiro is standing, relaxed, on the tarmac, arms folded across his chest, small, worn duffle bag next to one boot heel. Waiting for them.

It's been nine months since the last time the soles of his boots touched Earth soil. He hadn't been sure they'd make it back this time. So he hadn't given any warning about his arrival.

He's got a lot of time to make up for.]

[quaestio]

[He offers out a box, small and black, wrapped up with a white ribbon, holding it out to Oswald with a playful smile. It's not very big and it's a little gesture overall, nothing fancy. Just a thank you for all Oswald had done for him.] It's not quite as extravagant as your last gift for me but it can be hard to top a rare puzzle like that. It's just a little something.

[It's just a little penguin figurine, just so he never forgets who he is again.] I thought you could keep in on your desk or something, Mr mayor.

[dannyrand]

Danny is usually well behaved while Matt works for home, leaving him to pour over his paperwork while he entertains himself with quiet activities. Mostly meditating, or reading through the paper (or maybe some bad paperback thriller he picked up at the news stand on his way home)

Except today he's been antsy since he walked in. Even his usual routine was off; usually he put the kettle on, greeted Matt with a kiss to the forehead and got out of his work clothing as quickly as possible.

Matt still got his greeting, but then Danny vanished somewhere in the apartment for nearly and hour before he returned to skulk around before settling on a stool at the breakfast bar.

Morrigan | Dragon Age

(Can awkwardly receive gifts or somewhat reluctantly give them. Since she won't give to just anyone, something shippy or a significant friendship'll work best there. No Wardens, please.)

[Can give or receive, though if she's giving it's probably something car-related whether you want it or not.]

[kashuu]

( he would never deny gifts but also he gives the best gifts? ...sometimes. )

[lastofclan]

( How about prompt 06? I'm vaguely familiar with Touken ranbu so if you prefer I can have Chizuru be AUed into his universe. I'm not sure exactly how she would come to know Kashuu. i was thinking of her being his saniwa so that's why the two are familiar but if that's not something you are comfortable with we can ignore that entirely. )

Ah.. Kashuu-kun! I'm glad I found you. [She sends the sentient sword a soft smile, hands curled around a delicate and pretty looking bag that had a soft red bow keeping it tightly wrapped up. There was something inside the bag but it was hard to note what it was due to the colorful tissue paper keeping it concealed. There was a sound that emanated from it, almost like a soft bell if she moved it too much.]

Sorry for being so secretive these past few days. [A pause as she sheepishly murmurs.] I've been working on a project so I hope you understand I wasn't ignoring you. [She fiddles with the bag in her hands to emphasise this, cheeks burning a dark red. It's hard for her not to squirm nervously; it was nerve-wracking to hand over a handmade gift and not know how the other person would respond.]

It's for you. [Chizuru gently hands the bag to the sword and leans back, hands clasped together. Upon opening the bag he would find a bracelet that consisted of white and red beads that went in a pattern, firmly held together by a thin rope like material. It looked easy to slip on and dangling at the end were two tiny bells that let out a pretty tingle which also served to tighten the bracelet to his comfort. It wasn't anything extravagant but it was obvious that Chizuru put her time and effort into it and it was just for him.]

Because we don't have nearly enough going on at one time... :)

[forcefullyunstable]

It was getting close to their first Christmas as a married couple, and Rey knew where she could find her husband. Although they'd agreed he would take a break from job hunting to manage the home, he'd gone out and gotten a small part-time, seasonal job in order to fund something special for the holidays.

jim kirk ( star trek aos )

[winscenario]

Re: jim kirk ( star trek aos )

[logicabounds]

It would be illogical to be nervous.

He has no reason to be, after all. It's been almost a year that they've been dedicated romantic partners. A year and seven months that they've been physically intimate with each other and almost six years since they've been close friends. He knows Jim and Jim knows him. And their relationship, while not always easy, has been the best Spock's ever known. And thanks to their many melds, he feels confident it is a sentiment Jim shares.

Which is all reasons why he shouldn't be nervous about this. But, all the same, he is.

Pacing in Jim's quarters (which has become more or less his own, at this point), Spock goes over once more all the things he wishes to say. All the key points he needs to hit in his proposal.

His proposal. Surak help him.

He's just about to go insane when his hand presses to the pocket of his uniform, the reassuring gift beneath it comforting him like nothing else could, at the moment. Jim will be off work soon. And then. Well, then they would see where things took them.
