" So I, for one, cannot believe that I had to learn this from Sett, " Ezreal's eyebrows are furrowed as he complains, though there's no real bite to it. His gaze down-turned, he begins rifling through his tote bag, pulling various things out ( chapstick, earphones, notebook, uhh ) before finally, a little box. Turning upwards to face Kayn, he then adds with a playful sticking out of the tongue: " super rude, by the way. "

The box is plain, green in its color and red with the thin, plastic ribbon that keeps it together - sue him. It's so painfully close to the holidays that whatever ' birthday ' colors are, aren't exactly at the forefront in stock. A little Hallmark birthday card with a dog and balloons, cheesy puns in large font, is taped right next to the little bow knotted at the top. To open the card would reveal his scrawl of hand-writing, blue pen taking up the vast majority of open space the card had offered. With stores as busy as they are . . . he thinks he did pretty dang good.

( For future reference, it's been added to his phone's calendar, repeating yearly - Kayn's the Birthday Boy! 🎂🎈🖤. So. Ready. )

His arm thrusts out, jutting the gift right into Kayn's hands. " Happy, happy birthday! Open it right now! " Expectant, Ezreal's eyes glance up to the other's expression, down at his hands at they untie the knot, then up again. A second longer, then second thoughts appear, he sounds more embarrassed as he speaks this time: " . . . Er, open up the present. Don't read the card in front of me. I'll actually die. "
