MYSTIC ☀ open, gifts

[arcy]

It doesn't take long for three of his clanmates to show up. Izuku's tail gives a nervous sweep as he smiles at them, trying to ease his pounding heart. He'd never given anyone a gift before -- well, except for holidays, but that was only once or twice. And also his mom. As Izuku must emphasize, he'd only started getting friends recently. Recently as in a few years ago at most. ... Who's Izuku kidding he's mentioned it so often. Give him half an interaction with somebody and the instant he'll stumble he'll make that exact excuse. Anyways.
"Um -- thanks!" Oh god is Izuku supposed to thank them. Still, he's a little flustered, being called 'sweet' or being told that it was nice to see him. He purrs softly which -- oh god purrs feel weird. He stops pretty soon, and instead rustles to fetch his boxes. Natasha, Atbash, Harrison. Three. Atbash's was -- pink? Yes, pink. It'd been one of the only wrappings, and while it didn't quite fit Atbash's ... theme? Well, he could've used yellow, but just cause Atbash herself was yellow didn't mean she liked it. Like -- Izuku liked green, but it wasn't his favorite color, even though it was his ... theme. His favorite was yellow!! Like All Might!! It was a comforting comparison, and there were even more reasons now, too -- marigolds, sunlight, and it all actually kinda made Atbash extra nice to spend time with. Was that weird? That was weird. Okay, no. Still, he fetches the box, and pushes it to Atbash, hopeful as anything. It's a pink box, with a purple-ish ribbon. Inside it was -- well, he wasn't sure what she'd like, and Izuku isn't quite sure what would be good gifts? Honestly, he just tossed a lot of little the same little goodies with one personalized gift. Was Izuku guilty? Yes. Right, right, so inside was just a hibiscus flower crown, a pastel teddy bear, candies, and a little moon pendant. It had a little glow in the dark thing hanging from it, and that just. seemed like it'd fit.
Harrison -- yup, Harrison. Izuku had a better idea of what the kitten liked, but he didn't add too much more to this box? He should've considered playing 20 questions before he actually getting these together, huh? They were literally all carbon copies of each other, but it's the though that counts, or so Izuku's been told. By his mom. Just his mom. After another moment of shuffling, izuku pulls out a snowflake-patterned box. It was just white, with messy snowflakes drawn on, basically. The ribbon was blue, and, inside, was -- similar, to Atbash's, yes. A blue starflower crown, a rabbit plushie, and a necklace with a snowflake and star. He'd thought about a sweater, or candies, but Izuku knew that Jacob could probably handle the sweaters. He did slip a few candies in, too, but Izuku wasn't sure Jacob would appreciate if he gave Harrison too many.
Natasha -- Natasha had been hardest, honestly. While she was Izuku's friend, too, he just didn't really know her interests. He did know her history, though, and she did seem like the type to like more simplistic things. So, yeah, Izuku had gone with a completely different approach with this one, with some more human-similar stuff. So the next box has a bland sort of white, with a red ribbon. The inside, however, does have enough to make up for it. Izuku had exchanged the flower crown for a scarf, though he did put a fun little hedgehog plush in, too. A little bracelet band, made of some sort of ... fabric? Look, Izuku's not sure what it is, exactly, he was practically stealing this stuff from the humans. Some slightly burnt cookies, too. Still, it's with slight hesitance that Izuku hands Natasha the box, tail sweeping nervously.
"Um -- I haven't really given gifts before, so I didn't have many ideas, so I just kinda -- kept up a theme," Izuku admits, a little nervously. He might as well admit it to somebody, since the first batch of people to show up were usually some of the only ones. "... I put. A little too much effort into them, though, so I hope you appreciate the thought, at least," The real effort was more in fetching everything, and also the stress. Izuku didn't lose anymore sleep than usual over this, but boy if Izuku wasn't dying inside. Next time he gave gifts he'd hope that he knew more about everybody -- their hobbies, their likes. Maybe then he could give them a gift to encourage a new hobby? Who knows, but at least this was the first step to gifting or ... whatever.
