i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck
with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest
Although Aurum wasn't often on the receiving side of gifts, that didn't mean he wasn't happy when he received them. In fact, he was usually quite overjoyed when he received a gift from someone he truly loved and cared about, because it made their love into something tangible, even if it didn't need to be. So, when Roy looked up and smiled warmly at him, moving the crown from atop his head, Aurum found himself blinking in surprise, a warm smile spreading slowly across his face as his son explained that it was a gift. The lion spent a long moment just staring down at the lucky crown, not so much judging it as he was just admiring it, and taking in what Roy had done for him. Sure, to some it would be a relatively small gesture, and he was sure there were even some who would brush it off rather rudely, but Aurum was far from one of those kinds of people. Instead, he carefully hooked his claws around the edge of the crown, lifting it up and placing it atop his own head. It took a little bit of effort to get the halo of clovers to stay firmly utop his head, especially with his wild and lush mane there, but he managed to do it. Once he did, he chuckled before moving forward to embrace Roy, his warm and fluffy arms moving up to pull the boy closer, into his mane. With Roy securely pressed up against his front, Aurum touched his nose lovingly to the tiger's head, speaking softly as he let out an affectionate chuff, "I love it, Roy. I'm sure it'll bring me so much good luck in the future... thank you for a wonderful gift, son." He sounded utterly overjoyed, and in all honesty, he was. Just the small gesture was enough to make his heart twist, a lump forming in his throat.
