[It is a pretty girly gift. But he honestly doesn't mind. Because they had come from her. Because she had put time and thought and effort into getting them for him.
So he took the basket and held it up to the light of his lantern, watched as the colors came to life and smiled as each one was revealed.]
They're beautiful, Luna. Thank you.
[Even that he's leaning in to press a quick kiss against her cheek.]
[ Their gift selections are a little limited here, at least for now. But she promises next year will be better and far different. When things are far better, hopefully, and things are more set in stone. ]
You're very welcome. I'm very glad that you like them.
[ His kiss is, of course, quickly returned with a peck against his cheek as well. ]
I wish I could have gotten you something far more than just these flowers, though.
[ They've both changed a lot in twelve years. They've grown up with the burden of the entire world on their shoulders, they've worried about one another for so long. So to be together again is still something very surreal.
She grins and nudges him slightly, playfully. ]
I wouldn't want to ruin those beautiful teeth of yours.
[It still haunts him that they're here, in some twisted version of the after life and not in the warmth of Altissia. But it's all they've been given, and this time is precious.]

[It doesn't matter. It honestly doesn't. Because all that he ever truly wanted was to be able to spend time with her.]
You're my gift. Just getting to be here with you.
no subject
[ While she wanted the same, she still is very intent on getting him something that aren't girly flowers. ]
Well, you are my gift, too. So there. But I still intend on getting something else for you.
no subject
[Excuse you he loves these girly flowers. He's going to put them up in his room and admire them every chance he gets.]
I have everything I need until then.
no subject
[ Because Noctis deserves all of the presents, thanks. ]
I wish I could give you the entire world, you sweet man. Hopefully, I can make up for the lack of world to give you in the future.
no subject
[They were all that he had left. His everything. There was nothing else that could possibly come close to that.]
That's all I need, Luna. Just you by my side.
no subject
[ Because she wouldn't. And they've waited long enough to finally be able to be in one another's presence, haven't they? ]
no subject
Stop. I can't take all this sweetness. You're going to give me cavities.

no subject
That so? What else do you like about me?
no subject
Your sweet personality, your pretty eyes, your integrity and kindness...
no subject
My eyes, huh?
[You know how a puppy dog looks when it wants something? Well that's how he's looking at you right now, Luna.]
no subject
[ She stares at him when he does that, before she lifts a hand and gently pushing his face away, laughing. ]
no subject
Hey! Is that anyway to treat the birthday boy?
no subject
Yes. The birthday boy with the lovely eyes and best personality.
no subject
[But that kiss might. Stop being so sweet. His teeth are actually going to rot.]
no subject
[ Have another kiss, then, if that's the case~ ]
no subject
[Are they flirting right now? Because this feels like flirting.]
no subject
[ It probably is. And she knows she should stop, but she just can't. Sorry, Noct. ]
no subject
[In her defense, Noctis had started it.]
You could earn the rest back though.
no subject
[ He sure did... ]
How can I do that, hm?
no subject
[Which means that some day, probably six months from now, he's going to ask her for something outrageous.]
no subject
[ G r e a t. ]
no subject
Kind of limits my choices.
