[It was an average White Day.]

Yukkieeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[It was no longer an average White Day.

Ruka had some spare arm glitter to work with, but the week leading up to it had been... well, a long stretching bout of indecision. It wasn't until she passed by a clothing store and came across something that felt right as a gift; as such, the quick money sink that came of it was inevitable. The fact there were two of them for her to get was already almost too lucky on her part; the fact they had colors that suited them elevated it to miraculous.

On the flipside, she had to have one of them stitched due to an inexplicable tear, but that wasn't as important a detail.

In any case, she's already scampering back home to Yuki after another relatively successful street performance. She wasn't missing her chance to gift this to her for anything.]

Wanna guess what day it is?

Edited (WRONG DATE) 2025-03-13 21:28 (UTC)

Don't you think I already have enough trauma for date guessing games...?

[Her answer is given so blandly that it's hard to tell if she's being serious or not. Nevertheless, she sighs before,]

Friday, March 14th. Did you actually get a return gift for White Day?

Aw, come on, Yukkie, this time's different!

[Of course, one's mileage may vary on just how 'different' Ruka claims it's going to be.]

But yeah, it's White Day, and that means gifts! I had to think a little more about what I wanted to do for today, but I think I found just the thing.

... I'm worried about what you got, but let's see it.

Here it is~

[She takes a moment to rummage through her bag, and--...oh.

It's a t-shirt.

But it's not just any t-shirt.]

Well? What do you think? It's great, isn't it?

What makes you think that I would want a shirt that says that on it?

I found a matching one at the store and thought it'd be cute?

[Ruka promptly pulls out the other 'gravy' t-shirt, both clearly intended to be worn by their owners together.

This is fine.]

You're going to make everyone think that I've finally joined your "whoopsie gravy" cult.

...does that also mean you'll die?

[There has to be some kind of whoopsie gravy loophole in there somewhere-]

I will. So you can keep it. I did get you something as well, but it's upstairs.

But I just wanted to give you something nice to wear...

[Oh, well, she'll have to try again next time-]

[--or, well, she could get all flighty and focus on what Yuki brings up.]

Wait, you had one and you didn't even keep it ready so we could exchange gifts!?

If you don't want it, I can always give it to someone else.

Nononono! I do want it! Honest! Cross my harp!

It's cross your heart, Ruka. Anyway, wait here. I'll go grab it.

[And off she goes, making her way up the stairs.

When she comes back down, she reveals what seems to be a small black box.]

[Thankfully, Ruka's actually fairly locked onto her hinges for the time she's waiting. When Yuki comes back, though, she squints intently at the black box.]

Huh. What's in it?

Just open it.

[Yuki's response is a bit hurried, almost embarrassed.

When Ruka does, she'll find herself eyeing a necklace that looks like a guitar pick. The 'pick' itself is red and almost seems crystal-like; it has Ruka's name engraved on it in gold and can open up to store something inside: perhaps an actual pick or a photo.]

Alright, alright...

[...well, nothing else to it but to open the box up.]

...whoa.

[How much did Yuki burn on this??? It's got her name on it, and it opens up and everything-- and is that a place to keep a picture of the both of them she's seeing?]

You really got this for me...?

[Man, she's gotten gifts before, but--something about the person that's her lifeline and her biggest fan at the same time makes this one strike a different kind of chord.

Of course, Ruka being the weird fountain of knowledge she is, she knows exactly what this could be read as.]
