She knows she’s late and she knows it’s lame. But, Holli had a little gift for the dentist. She clears her throat, pushing a facade of coolness. She smiles and tosses a little black bag at him. “I know you probably got a hundred of these but I saw it and thought of you.” Inside the bag is a metal component, about 3-4 inches long. It’s silver but brushed darker, aged but clean. Even with its plainness, it still glints in the light, especially when opened. The lighter is heavy and durable. The inside has a wick and lighter component, freshly changed out and filled with fluid for its use.
“Thought you’d look a lot cooler with something notable to light your cigs than just one of those breakable shits.” And the letters D.D.S are engraved into its metal. THAT was just for him. She steps awkwardly and shrugs. “Merry late Christmas. Or whatever. Sorry if it’s stupid.” (Holli said Orin gets a thing)

Orin was glad the holidays were over, and he was ready to get on with the rest of the year. He hardly acknowledged them let alone celebrated, so it was that much more surprising when a gift fell into his lap. And a gift from Holli at that. Sure, he spoiled her plenty throughout the year and was perfectly happy to do so, but up until this point they hadn't really done any sorta holiday specific stuff. That was more for people who were properly dating as opposed to....well, maybe they were dating, but neither of them seemed interested on defining their whole situation. Though with the gift being belated, Orin found it much more appropriate and much more like them. "It's not stupid at all, Holli," he said, still looking down at the lighter in his hand, running his thumb over the engraving. It had definitely not come like that, and the dawning realization that Holli had taken the time not just to get a gift for him but to get it personalized as well. She may have been acting cool, but even Orin could tell this had taken some effort and care on her part. "It's real sweet actually. Guess you must like me a little?" he asked, the soft smile on his face broadening to more of a playful grin. "I'll have to spoil you extra."
#Orin is totally definitely not emotional about it why do you ask#Congratulations Holli. You caught him totally off guard lol#ALSO HELLO#heedingcalls#(Now Spit) Asks#(At the Office) IC
