[So mean to him... of course Scott had to get back at her by saying that he has something for her as well, but he's now forced to give it to her later. Obviously teasing back, complete with a poke to her forehead, before he gives Kotone space to continue working on her project.
Luckily, things are just busy enough that Scott uses that time to mingle with others, catching up with people that are still important to him, but it's not too long when things start winding down as everyone starts to leave. It makes the inn just that more quiet, maybe even sobering to some degree, but as always, Scott finds his mood immediately improving as his girlfriend smiles bright at him with that mysterious present finally being given to him.
The smile across his cheeks is fond, filled with an emotion that Kotone is probably familiar with now. Something that only directs as her.]
[The whole gathering had been quiet. It's hard to reconcile the raucous parties of the past with this more somber affair. The city might have changed around them, but the inn is still one of Kotone's favorite places. It's where she'd first met Scott, after all, all those years ago. Maybe that's why it's fitting to give him this gift here.
Her smile is small, but genuine, as she nods in confirmation.] Yeah, you can open it! I hope you like it.
[Inside, carefully folded, is a rather standard black leather jacket. She'd used his normal jacket as a pattern for it, figuring that was way easier than trying to measure him and figure everything else out. What's maybe more important is the embroidered XXII that matches her hair pins. It's a kind of corny gesture, but Scott's kind of a corny guy not that deep down, so...
As always when giving something truly meaningful, though, she bounces a bit on her heels with just a little bit of nervousness. There's no reason to be nervous! But she can't help it. Scott means so much to her; she wants him to have a piece of her with him.]
[There's an easy reassurance on his lips, telling her that he'd like the present no matter what. However, he refrains this time, because he can see just how important this single gift is. It's not something simple this time, but something that Kotone put a lot of time and thought into, so he's going to treat it as such.
So, while his smile is still fond, he doesn't really say much else as he starts to pull the present she made for him out of the bag...
A jacket. Leather. Black, from what he can discern. Always a color that's easier for him to tell compared to others and it's definitely a nice quality, but what really draws his attention is the XXII that is embroidered right on the breast pocket and it's a symbol he's very familiar with. Breath caught in his throat, he traces the lettering with a certain reverence, fully understanding the meaning behind this gesture.
Her symbol now on him, always. Well, he plans for that, because he doesn't think he'll ever wear a different jacket besides this one. His fingers are still tracing the lettering again and again as he looks up at his girlfriend with sheer emotion, sunglasses doing nothing to lower that impact. Just an already emotional boy fully affected by this sentimental gift.]
This really is for me? [He's not sounding choked up what do you mean. Nonetheless, Scott gestures for Kotone to come closer to him.]
[He gets it. She'd known he would, after everything they'd talked about and been through. If he checks the tag she'd sewn on the inside, she's written the word "black!" in marker, as she has with most of his shirts, and underneath, a little drawn heart beside a simple "from Kotone."]
Yep. [Her smile softens at the audible emotion in his voice, and she moves closer without a second thought, peering up at him with a smile. Normally she might laugh it off, but after today, maybe it's okay to be a little serious for once.
She wraps her arms loosely around his neck to get a better look at his face, smiling the whole time with undisguised fondness. He really does care so much, doesn't he...? She really is lucky to have met him, and punctuates that unspoken thought with a kiss.] Try it on!
[Probably should have asked that before draping on him, but she has faith. He'll figure it out!]
[He catches the small description on the tag and while it may seem small, it's just another thing-- one extra detail that makes his heart throb with deep emotion. Love, yeah, but Scott would argue that it's still somehow more than that, because how he feels about Kotone is never simple. Just so many things at once that he can only partially convey by hugging her tight, arms fully wrapped her waist as he keeps the jacket firmly clenched in his hand like it's a precious thing.
And it really is. It's officially the most important gift he's gotten. More than his motorcycle even--
But he pulls back enough to look at her, his own smile teeming with familiar adoration before nodding. It's only a minor hassle to get his old jacket off, the worn material being tossed on a nearby chair, before he begins to slide his arms through the sleeves of the new jacket until he's standing in front of Kotone. The fit is perfect and more importantly, the XXII is covering right over his heart.
Always keeping a part of her with him. Close to his chest.]
Well, what do you think?
[He already has his opinion, but he wants to see her reaction too.]
[She folds easily into his arms, tucking her chin against his shoulder and letting herself just bask in his genuine emotion. It had taken a lot of work to make a jacket like this, considering she'd never made one before, but being held like this makes all the trouble worth it. She's a little reluctant to pull out of the hug, but the excitement of seeing him wear her creation more than makes up for it!
She clasps her hand behind her back, bouncing a little again. If it doesn't fit, it's not the end of the world; she can probably adjust it. It would kind of feel a little silly, though, having to take a gift back to fix it. Luckily, it seems she doesn't have to worry about that. It's a little funny seeing him wear something else when she'd gotten used to that familiar leather jacket of his, but this one...]
You look cute! [Her eyes sparkle with a familiar mischief as she calls him cute instead of handsome, as usual. She reaches up with both hands to somewhat unnecessarily tug his jacket closed, just to check that it does fit, and smiles up at him. One hand drifts down to cover the XXII over his heart, her smile softening a touch as her eyes flick down, almost embarrassed.] We match...
[He doesn't even try to look offended when she compliments him in her usual way. The indignity of being called 'cute' instead of handsome or hot or anything that a boy would normally want to hear is so far from his mind right now, not to mention that he was never too annoyed about it to begin with. Kind of impossible to feel that way when it's coming from Kotone, a girl that he ironically met over two years ago in this very inn. He never imagined that they would become this close, this intertwined, but... guess some things just happen that way.
Even if it means potential hurt in the future, Scott plans to never look back or wonder what would have happened if they never became close. That would be worse, a betrayal of everything they talked about. What they've shared together is too important, too precious, and he will carry them forever no matter what.
He smiles back down at her, so certain in his feelings. There's a firm resolve of everything they've experienced together, learned together, in his movements as his hand covers hers over the XXII, pressing them together against it.]
We match. [...] A reminder that you're always with me, Kotone.
[She's gotten better at expressing her feelings genuinely in the years she's spent here, not in a small part thanks to Scott. Still, a moment like this, she can only laugh, cheeks flushing pink with an pleased affection that he really does like it. And, as selfish as it feels to give him something that so obviously is meant to be a reminder of her, it... feels good. To know he'll have something he can take with him, wherever he goes.]
You don't have to wear it when it's hot out! [she reassures him, even though she knows full well that he knows that already.] As long as you have it, that's enough.
[If it gets ripped, she can repair it, or turn it into something else. If she's not here to fix it, well.... Scott can figure something out. It's not like she'll know if he gets rid of it at that point!
But she smiles even still, gazing down at their hands joined together over his heart.] ...I'm glad you like it.
[Not when it's 90 degrees out with 80% humidity-- but Scott truly plans to wear it as much as possible. It's a nice jacket, for one, but it really is the most important item to him now. Something Kotone personally made, just for him, and with an embroidery that's wordlessly significant. It's basically irreplaceable. Not because of the materials, but because it came from her and all the intent behind it.
He looks at the XXII hairpins styled at the side of her head, and smiles.]
It's the best gift I've ever gotten. [He briefly squeezes her hand.] Thank you.
[Scott says, words soft, before he leans forward to press a kiss right on top of her head. And he lingers in his position, wanting to show her how much this really means to him.]
[She could make a joke here, about how people need to give him more gifts if a leather jacket is the best one! But she knows it's not just a jacket to him, a thought that warms her to the core. She closes her eyes when he kisses the top of her head, just enjoying the moment of being completely wrapped up by him. Are there other people in the inn still? Maybe, but they should be used to Scott being a total sap all the time when she's around!
Speaking of him being a total sap, though‐‐]
You said you had something for me, too, right? [she reminds him, wiggling a hand free to poke him in the stomach. It's not that she's trying to ruin the moment or anything! But she's really curious...]
[Everyone else can just deal with it!! Learn to cope!!
Honestly, Scott would be fully content to keep their current positions, his lips pressed atop her head and just staying close to her, wrapped in each other like this. Not exactly counting down the remaining days they may have left, but cherishing their current time together still. It's what they promised each other. Sometimes easier to do than other days, but he feels it now, especially as his mouth twitches into a small grin as he feels her poke him right in the middle of his stomach.
Oh right, he did promise her a gift too, huh?]
I did... but now you have to close your eyes.
[Why? Because he said so!! Teasing her just a little longer because he knows how much Kotone likes to get presents... and she knows how much he likes giving them to her.]
[She lets out a little noise of discontent, because really? Why does she have to close her eyes if he's just going to give it to her anyway?! But even if she puffs out her cheeks a bit in faux displeasure, she closes her eyes immediately. It's Scott asking her to do it, after all, and it'll make him happy if she plays along. And when he's happy, she's happy; it's as simple as that.]
Did you forget to wrap it or something? [she teases even still, because that seems like the most obvious explanation as to why he wants her to close her eyes!]
[But as soon as she closes her eyes, she'll find him slowly shift-- never really leaving her presence, but turning to grab the small bag that he's been carrying about with him since he got here. Partly so that he doesn't lose the small box that's inside and partly so that he can fully hide it from Kotone until now. It definitely worked out, he can say that with certainty.
And now, to give it to her. No more waiting. He wants to see her reaction... give her something that's been just as meaningful as this jacket.
So, it's with a small grin that he takes out a small wrapped box from the bag, almost carelessly leaving that behind before placing the box gently in her her hands, his own covering hers for a moment before pulling away.]
[She snorts a little laugh, because if there's anyone who has faith in him, it has to be her, right? She'd trust him with everything she has. A little bit of an excited wiggle as she hears him pull something out of the bag and tries to guess what it could be; it sounds pretty small, and then-- oh, in her hands, it feels pretty small. A box?
That moment with her hands in his is a little treasure of its own, softening her smile as he holds her. It doesn't last long, though; as soon as he's given her permission, her eyes snap open to look at what's in her hands.]
A box! Yay! [No, she knows that's not the present, but she can't help teasing him. Is it another hair pin...? She has so many, both from Scott and from those who've left them both behind. Opening it carefully like the precious thing it is, her breath catches, and she stares down at it with a mix of surprise and joy.]
Oh... they match your glasses! [She looks up quickly, almost not daring to believe it. Never mind that her ears aren't pierced; the earrings in the box are so beautiful! And they're a gift from Scott, which makes them even more meaningful.]
[An exasperated smile flickers across his face for a moment, but he otherwise keeps quiet, overcome by his own eagerness and anticipation as he watches Kotone handle the box in her hands. This really feels like the moment of truth. Not that he thinks she'd hate it, but her reaction, her feelings about it, truly means the world to him-- because she means the world to him. He's only glad, lucky, that he's had this much time with her and this opportunity still to give her something.
Plus, he really did put a lot of time and thought into this.
And it's all worth it, seeing the brightening look on her face-- eyes shining with a certain emotion that he's come to understand. It's really that understated reaction that gets his heart to beat a little faster, a certain weight lifting off his shoulders and replaced by an easy and familiar warmth that he has for her. It makes it all to easy to smile when she mentions them matching his glasses, a warm chuckle leaving him.]
They're made of ruby quartz. [He confirms. Yeah, borrowing some of the quartz from the mansion that so happened to be lying around. Not enough to make another set of glasses, but enough for this. It started circulating in his mind after he asked Kotone if she ever wanted to wear earrings.]
[Her eyes widen when he says they're not just red gemstones or even rubies, but ruby quartz. The same material as his visor and glasses, the only thing that can contain his powers. She has no idea which material would be the most valuable, but she knows which one would mean the most to her.
Her fingertips glide gently over the small stones in a way she'd never wanted to do to the lenses of his glasses, then she looks up to Scott with those same wide eyes.]
Is something like this really okay for me to have...? You won't need it?
[If his glasses or his visor break, surely it would be better to keep as much ruby quartz aside possible, just in case?]
[The amount of reverence she's showing for these earrings... it really is touching. Of course it's important to him, but seeing Kotone treat the jewelry with such care as well, because it represents him, means so much. It's with the same amount of care that he raises a hand over to her face, brushing some of her hair to the back of one ear, before warmly holding her cheek in the warmth of his palm.]
I promise that I'll be okay.
[He says with complete certainty. Trust. He's aware of the dangers of this place, how it might be important to have spare ruby quartz lying around, but. He doesn't feel scared; he's completely sure of his decision.]
After all, I have you. [And their other friends, if need be. He's not alone.]
[Her eyes are still shining with emotion as she picks one up and holds it up to her ear, tilting her head against his hand and smiling a little. They both know her ears aren't pierced, but guess this means she'll have to, huh? There's something almost thrilling about that; it's not that big of a deal, but the idea that if she actually has something pierced through her skin, it'll come with her if and when they leave.]
How do I look?
[Not cool at all right now, but that's okay. Only Scott is paying attention right now, and really it's his opinion that matters most. She turns her head to kiss the inside of his palm with a little bit of a laugh.] I really love it, Scott.
[Is it silly to be so choked up with emotion just from watching his girlfriend hold the earring up to her ear? Well, too bad, because that's how he feels, smile spreading broadly with something heavy both lifting and settling in his chest. It's just the thought of feeling so happy and knowing how it can't be forever. However, he'd never take this back.
She loves the gift... and seeing something so important to him, so crucial to his powers, but made specially for her, it really feels like a part of him is now with her. Just like the XXII that's on his jacket. It helps with that earlier feeling that still winds around his heart.]
Beautiful.
[His voice nearly cracks on that singular word. If she's not cool, then he's the least cool person in this entire room. Whoever is watching can make fun of him, he doesn't care, because his focus is only on her.] Maybe even as much as I love you?
[But there's unmistakable affection that drains any insult from the word, her voice as warm as ever when she talks to him. For now, she puts the earrings safely back into their box, holding it to her chest and leaning up to kiss his nose briefly.]
You'll come with me to get my ears pierced, right?
[She really doesn't even have to ask, but knowing he'll be there beside her is a reassurance she doesn't want to take for granted. While she knows they can't be together forever, they can at least have this time together now; every precious moment is one they can cherish.]
[Blaming Kotone for his behavior once more, even if no one believes it. It's a familiar tease though, with Scott's smile increasing as she kisses his nose. Hey, who's the dork now?? See this is where he got it from--
But wanting to spend a little more of their time in a more sincere way, Scott leans forward, just enough so that he can settle his lips against her forehead in a manner that's chaste but still very intimate. Sometimes, when it's just just the two of them like this, it really feels like they're in their own little world. Maybe it's selfish, but he cherish these moments the most.]
Of course. [...] And I'll wear the jacket you got me.
