[ En notices Atsushi's nervousness, but figures pointing it out wouldn't help. While he's all for teasing, it doesn't seem like the right time to poke fun at him. ]
By the way, I know the new year here is in April, but we should do something at the end of this month anyway.
[ And he can piggyback off that!! He smiles faintly, his gaze falling down to the box Atsushi gave him, and he wonders if Atsushi wants him to open it now or later. ]
I don't think that's true.... Sometimes when she looks at me, I think she wonders if the magic that translates languages is faulty. I think of myself as direct, but she's made me realize I have a hard time not being too vague.
[ While he talks, En unwraps the gift slowly but doesn't open the box yet. ]
[ The heart is embarrassing, but the fact that Atsushi spent so much time and energy on it more than make up for it. So, to prove that point, he slips the sweater on over his shirt. ]

[ It's a joke because this will be their third Christmas in a little over a year. ]
You didn't have to get me anything.
[ He says when he has Atsushi's and Ryuu's gift in his bedroom. En sets his comic aside and takes the box with an appreciative smile. ]

A-ah well... this box comes as a two parter, so if you like it, hopefully you like the second part...?

[ He tilts his head questioningly, his brows raised as he evaluates Atsushi. ]
You can sit if you want.

[ Atsushi laughed sheepishly, pausing to watch En a little. ]
A-ah... you can open that whenever you want...

[ inside the box En will find a handknitted sweater, that is a light blue, with a heart on the front. ]
no subject
[ He opens the box, gently taking out the sweater and holding it out at arm's length to get a better look at it. ]
Atsushi, did you make this by hand...?
[ HOW LONG DID THAT EVEN TAKE?! ]

[ Well, geeze. He's not sure his own gift to Atsushi can even come close. ]
What's with the heart, though? To remind me of the Battle Lovers?

Ahh, it's warm. Thanks, Atsushi.

[ Ever-observant of Atsushi, he notices the fiddling. ]
I've got a gift for you, too, but it's nothing like this.... I'll give it to you later tonight.

Had something I needed to tell you, but I'm not sure how you'll take it.

What, is Kusatsu here or something?
