"Perfect," she agreed and went to go get his. She'd hidden it just out of sight so he wouldn't get any ideas of peeking while her back was turned.

He smiled and pulled out his own present for her. It was small but he still felt like she’d enjoy it.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Tess returned to the table after a moment and passed the pink and fluffy bag to him. She wasn't so good at masculine wrapping...

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Here’s yours,” He took the bag from her and handed her his present. His was wrapped up neatly in black shiny paper.

((Did I ever say what his present was to her? Since I said that I had an idea but I don’t know if I ever said what it was. Because it’s been a few days and I forgot lol))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Thank you," she said with a smile. "So...how should we open them?"

((YOu did....but it was on the last page, I think?))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

((Oh right, thank you lol))

"At the same time? Cassius suggested.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"If you want," Tess said. She didn't have strong feelings on it, but she did want to see his face.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Do you not want to?" He asked nervously, feeling awkward again. Did he say something wrong yet again?

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Either way is fine, really," Tess answered.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Alright, then let's do it," He nodded, placing his hand on the top of his present. "On the count of three or whatever...one...two..."

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Three!" Tess finished and started to open up the gift. She couldn't wait to see what it was, especially since she didn't know what to expect.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Cassius quickly pulled his open, not having much emotion on his face because he wanted to judge it fairly. Once he pulled it out, his eyes widened. "Whoa...how'd you know I wanted this?" He held it up to the light.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"You like it?" Tess asked, pausing her unwrapping since he had gotten to his gift first. "I didn't know if you used controller covers....but it was purple and I couldn't resist!"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

He nodded eagerly. "I use them a little bit, but...this is really great! And how'd you know purple is my favourite colour?"

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Luck, I guess," she said, laughing lightly. "I'm glad you like it."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Now open yours. I wanna know what you think," He was still staring at the cover.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Oh! Right," she said, having forgotten that she still needed to finish opening hers. She finally finished and pulled out the charm bracelet and it made her smile. "This is really cute!"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

He smiled a bit. "I'm glad you like it. I saw it online and thought it fit you perfectly,"

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"It does, it's great," she said, smiling. "Thank you."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"I'm glad you like it," He said simply. "Of course, it makes sense that someone like me could give you such a good present, right?"

((I was reading a LuciferxSuzuno fanfic earlier and it made me wanna rush right over to this RP lol))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

She looked at him confusedly. "What does that mean?"

((It took me too long to realize who they were haha))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"I dunno. Mom liked giving gifts to people so I guess some of that rubbed off on me," He mumbled a bit, suddenly feeling embarrassed about acting prideful.

((He taught her how to use a computer and eat Popsicles lol))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"That's nice of her," she said with a smile. "Then you definitely inherited that."

((Cute haha
I forgot, were they childhood friends?))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

He blushed a bit and looked away. "Um, what now?"

((Cassius and Tess? They were when they were really little but they kinda drifted apart when their parents taught them magic separately since obviously their magic is different))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Now you can help me put the bracelet on?" she asked hopefully.

((Okay cool with me))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Sure," He nodded and set the controller cover down on the table. "Hold out your arm,"

((Why were you curious?))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Tess handed him the bracelet and then held out her arm so that he could latch it on for her. She hadn't even tried by herself since she never could do it.

((Just wondering because I couldn't remember if we'd said))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Hold still," Cassius directed, then unclasped the bracelet and slid it onto her arm, then successfully clasped it back on after a few attempts.

((It's in his history in his profile))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Thank you," Tess said with a smile. "Do you need help with your gift?"

((I'm way too lazy to look haha))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Nah, I got it," Cassius waved his hand at her dismissively.

((That's what I'm here for lol https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"It was a joke," Tess said with a small laugh since he didn't seem to get it. She didn't know how to put one of those things on...

((Thanks))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Oh,” He blushed again, suddenly feeling embarrassed that he couldn’t get a joke like that. His parents had affected him in more ways than he previously thought. “I’ll save this though so I can put it on later,” He motioned to the cover.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Okay, sure," she said and gave him a smile. "So now what did we decide to do next?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“I forgot.” He shrugged, since he did genuinely forget what they had planned next.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Maybe....it was video games?" Tess guessed, unsure.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Really? We’re gonna play some now?” He asked in a hopeful tone.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Yeah, absolutely!" she said, giving him a smile.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

He smiled back. “Then let’s set it up! I’ll totally cream you in everything!”

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"You will not! I'll definitely beat you," she replied. "At least a couple times."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

He laughed. “You’re on! What should we play then?”

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Hm...I like racing games," she said. She was dreadful at fighting games, but she understood driving.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Great, I’m good at those too,” He looked over at the TV in the room. “Are the games already up here? Or do I have to go get them myself?”

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"I was thinking we could go down to the game room, maybe. They have more things in there," she pointed out.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Oh, right. Good idea,” He blinked, nodding in agreement.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"So then...lets go?" she asked, wondering if he wanted to get anything before they went down.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Yeah, let’s go,” Cassius nodded. He left the controller cover on the table since he saw no reason to bring it.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Tess paused. "Do you want to put that up in my room or something?" she asked, since she didn't want to leave their stuff out.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Uh, sure,” He picked it up. “Your room has your name on it, right?”

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Yes, but I can go put it down for you, so you don't get lost or something."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Me? Get lost? That's ridiculous! I'd never get lost!" He bragged. "...However, maybe you should still come with me. Like, just in case,"
