[Hey, Tsumiki. Tsumiki. Are you in your room? You better be in your fucking room because there's somebody knocking on your door. Which...might be a little unexpected considering that there's still over an hour to go before Nanami's party. Who on earth could it be?]
[Surprise is right. And unexpected is also right! She's in the middle of pulling her hair back, trying to...tame it...somewhat for the party when she hears the knock. Putting her brush and hair tie down, she moves to open the door, sort of peeking around it at first.]
Kuzuryuu-san?
[Alright, she can open the door more for him. Though she honestly looks a little distressed. Why are you here?]
[Okay that was neither the response nor the facial expression he was expecting. HE WAS TRYING HIS BEST NOT TO LOOK ANGRY WHY DOES SHE SEEM TO THINK SHE'S IN TROUBLE oh wait because she's Tsumiki. Duh. Mystery solved.]
No, it's still at the same time. I'm not here because of the party...
[Okay, come on Kuzuryuu. All you have to do is just hand her the present. It's not big deal. Come on, you fucking pansy. IF SHE COULD DO IT ON VALENTINE'S DAY, YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT NOW.]
[...]
Here.
[Okay apparently we're not going to give an actual explanation, we're just going to kind of stiffly hold out a small white gift bag and try not to break eye contact. You go, Kuzuryuu. You are the White Day champ.]
[It's not that he looks angry she just doesn't get why he's coming to see her before the party??? Even with the gift, she's still completely baffled. She just...sort of looks at him, and then down at the gift, and then back up to him before gingerly taking it and...still looking very confused.]
...do...do you want me to...keep Nanami's gift with me? [Yup, White Day has not even crossed her mind.]
I-I mean...I will but...w-wouldn't you want to bring it...with you?
[Good choice, Tsumiki. Kuzuryuu is definitely not the touchy sort outside of a very, VERY small group of people. Sorry to say, that group does not include you.]
Well you gave me chocolate, didn't you? The fuck did you expect me to do?
[REALLY, TSUMIKI JUST THINK ABOUT WHO WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE FOR A SECOND.]
What are you asking me that for, it's your damn present. Open it, don't open it, doesn't matter to me. It's literally in your hands now.
[Though...apparently he doesn't actually want to BE there when she opens it for some reason or another because he's turning to head back to his own room. He does at least put his arm up in a sort of farewell acknowledgement though.]
I'll see you at the party. You can let me know then whether or not you decided to open it.
[And apparently he's not giving her a chance to do it till then because he sure does disappear into the boys' shared room pretty quick upon reaching the door.]
[She's quiet as he talks, trying to figure out exactly what to say. Because he didn't really have to get her anything. Knowing he liked the chocolates would have been more than enough for her. But it's plain to see that she's really happy that he would do this for her.
By the time she decides what to say though, he's basically telling her not to and slipping away like he's on fire or something.]
A-ah, Kuzuryuu-san, wai...wait....
[But he's gone by the time she speaks up. Sighing, she looks down at the bag and retreats into her room.
...really, he was right. It was her gift, so of course she's allowed to open it. And sitting down on the couch she does just that.
[Look, just giving it to her was an ordeal in and of itself, okay? He's not sure if he could take...whatever her reaction is going to be to the gift on TOP of that.]
[Anyway, inside the bag are three empty sort of appropriately colored berry pots. This is...kind of a weird White Day present but did you actually expect Kuzuryuu to go the candy route? Or the jewelry route? Especially in a platonic instance like this one? CLEARLY berry pots were the best way to go here, yes.]
[It's a weird White Day gift? Tsumiki doesn't think so. Berry pots were definitely the best way to go. She's surprised to find three of them though...she really only needed one. It's another "this would have been enough" thing, but she's not going to complain about having three.
They are immediately set out on a table and put to use. Berries are planted and watered and she is beyond pleased with this.
action; 3/14 FORWARD DATING LIKE A CHAMP

action; 3/14 is not! also 1/2
[Are you fucking kidding him right now.]
2/2
[THE BAG IS WHITE, TSUMIKI. WHITE.]
no subject
[She thinks about that for a moment.]
Well...it's also White Day but...ah!
[She nearly drops the bag when she realizes that, carefully clutching it to her chest thereafter and looking just a little shocked.]
...I...this...this is for m-me?
no subject
Of course it is, I wouldn't be giving it to you otherwise!
[Okay well at least this isn't awkward anymore. Chances are Tsumiki didn't do that on purpose but good job?]
no subject
I...n-no one's...ever given me a White Day gift...I just...wasn't expecting it.
[She would hug you, but she's sure you aren't okay with that. So have a bright, happy smile instead, and maybe a couple of tears.]
Th-thank you so much, Kuzuryuu-san.
[A pause...]
M-may I...may I open it?
[Or well...look inside. Since it's a bag.]
