Special: Gift

Scott narrates

In two days it was going to be Valentine's Day, it would be the day of love and friendship so he wanted to give the boys a gift, I prepared a different gift for each one. For example, I will give Shaun a pillow with the Andromeda galaxy, totally different from the gift for Smith which is a shirt with a large dragon print, for Henry I really did not think of anything but I suppose he will settle for a small chain with a pendant of the swan constellation that I bought a long time ago, thinking precisely about him; even so, it was really easy for me to buy a gift for Ethan since I had to buy a chain with a golden phoenix pendant and I could almost swear it would look great on him even if it was the first time I bought something for him; on the other hand, it was extremely difficult for Soe to think about giving her something since she could always get what she wanted, I couldn't bear long with the concern what to buy from him that I ended up buying something really "cheap" for less than a tenth of what she Spends on a gift, it was a tiara-type headband of the Goddess Athena.

Everything was prepared: sweets, gifts, cake, series, food. I just needed to buy the boxes where I would put each gift, I had to choose them according to each one's favorite color, I couldn't give them something that I didn't think was to their liking, I could be really disastrous, forgetful and even sometimes silly but when try to give gifts to my dear friends I did not hesitate in anything and gave my best only for them without caring if I spent all my savings on things that really were to their liking; I contradict myself a lot by saying that I don't think going to give away when I have everything calculated, right? Anyway, I had to go out to buy ribbons and boxes to decorate everything, so I left the house early to go to the mall, it took me an hour from home so I had to go as early as possible to choose the best boxes.

Narrates Ethan

Since I quit fighting, it is the first time I will have a good time with my friends, especially Scott. Lately, he was being more friendly with everyone even though he couldn't help joking every moment he came up with one although sometimes it was really funny and nice to hear his out-of-tune laugh. A week ago, I was invited to dinner for Valentine's Day; as Shaun told me, it is a meal that they always do, where they put aside the phones, work, studies, or whatever they normally do to have a fun night.

Although I'm not a big fan of this kind of thing, the idea of spending time with my brother and the boy who took over my dreams didn't seem like a bad idea to me. My brother had told me that he bought pajamas in conjunction with Scott, I imagine they will look absolutely adorable. Well, I can accept that Scott may seem something to me, not to say, very cute because of those pretty round cheeks, his dark brown eyes, his lips ... well, the idea is caught.

In conclusion, I would go to lunch with my friends, I just knew that everyone was preparing something to give as a gift; however, I still had nothing and in two days it was going to be Valentine's Day. My knowledge of the likes of others is nil except for Scott's tastes, which although I hadn't wanted to before, were useful to me because I know them by heart thanks to his almost daily tantrums at home, although it is not that I could buy anything That I know is to your liking, I don't even know what Shaun or Soe might like, they are the ones I "share" the most with so to speak.

I think the most likely thing is that I will buy something simply for Scott and Shaun because I imagine, Soe will receive a lot of gifts, in any case, I tell him that I forgot if she asks. I had to buy something nice and pleasant, I just had to think about what I would buy.

I sat in front of the desk to get a pencil and paper and write down what I would buy for them.

(2hrs. After)

Well, it had been about two hours and I still couldn't think of anything, I had been sitting for so long that my legs had gone numb; I got up and preferred to go to the shopping center, so I could go to see the wineries and all the places where they sell things that could serve as a gift or even give me an idea. I left my room, took the house keys, and walked to the center, my house was relatively close to the city center, so I could come and go without problems.

Omnipresent narrator

Both Scott and Ethan were in that commercial center of the city, each of them in different places; the younger observed all the different models of colored boxes to choose from, as well as hundreds of ornaments that he thought would look beautiful on the boxes, without a doubt his search began as fun and calm but now he realized that he had a pressure, some way psychological for buying the right things, he worried that his friends would not be satisfied with his gifts, he always tried to give his best in each gift and really wanted everything to be perfect. To finish having almost a crisis, he had to buy clothes to be presentable at the party, at the end of the day he would end up with pajamas but a meal is a meal and should be "at the height" of what is being celebrated.

However, on the other side of the mall, there was an Ethan somewhat annoyed that he still had nothing for his dear brother and Scott, he observed several things that seemed perfect but everything was too dazzling or simply to imagine how well the youngers would look, garments, accessories or stuffed animals, he dismissed the idea almost immediately since he did not want something so childish or flashy for any of them.

Both were still looking for the perfect things, each consulting candy stores, clothing stores to see if there is something to their liking, stationery stores, and many other stores but neither managed to satisfy the main characteristics of what they wanted. In the end, they only decided to sit on a bench in the center of that place without knowing that on each side of the banking, there was the other.

Scott: Ugh, I didn't think this would be so complicated, I still can't find something suitable for Shaun and Soe, I have the rest but I can't find anything in the shade I want, plus I can't find clothing that is to my liking -had everything said in a low voice, he closed his eyes sighing heavily as he took out his cell phone to check the time, noticing that it was almost noon- this is ridiculous if I don't find anything nice to wear, I don't intend to go -he thought, standing up, almost ready to leave, find something to eat and then take to wrap everything I had bought if not for something that stopped him-.

X: Hi Scott -said a female voice, which he already knew well enough, she tried to see the bags that were on each side of him but simply could not see anything for the material of these-.

Scott: Ah hello Eri, what brings you here? -he asked a little uncomfortable by the attitude of the girl who almost snatched the bags from him to see what was in them-.

Eri: Me? Nothing, just that I'm going to buy some things, I also wanted to buy Henry a gift, could you give me your advice? -she began to play with her hair in a flirtatious way-.

Anyone would fall for the blonde, being beautiful, acting really nice and sweet to others when she is not alone with anyone, she inside is like... Wolf in sheep's clothing? Yes, in part. What she did not know about Scott is that he did not agree with the way the girl behaves when he is not with Henry, nor with him since she seemed, how to say, a little talkative, conceited, he has friends a little... rude; and the latter is not a lie, Scott, Shaun and Smith know about what she does because they once saw her in that situation.

Scott: A gift? Well, I really don't know what Henry likes but it seems like this Valentine's going to visit his mother -"I'm sorry for lying Henry but I don't want him to come home looking for what he won't have" he thought- so yes, excuse me, I have to look for some things -he started to walk but it seemed that the blonde would not leave the conversation there- Eh?

Eri: Really Scott, do you think I'm going to believe that Henry will go to Siberia? I know very well that they have this meeting every year and there are never any missing, so you couldn't tell me that he will do it -her grip was starting to hurt a little, not because of the force of her hand, but because of the false nails that she carried, they were too much long and sharp being his perfect weapon to get him to talk- please Scott, I just need your help on this, what does Henry like?

Scott: I really don't know Eri, could you, ugh, let me go? -Her nails buried more, it would have come loose if it had not been for a large number of things in hand- Please Eri, I'm sorry if I sound rude but I still do not understand what the fondness is for giving something to someone than more once he has rejected you saying that you are his FRIEND and nothing else -he shook his arm abruptly from her hand, it burned a bit but he preferred that to continue listening to the girl and her insistence- now, excuse me -I was finally able to get out of that place leaving a young woman in a state of shock and very enraged-.
