[nellacerniera]

[He nods.]

The illusion-based one, yes.

[Now that Leone's taken the egg, Bruno will go ahead and grab the other two things--the wine and a gift bag containing the gloves, a box from a jewelry store in Goldenrod, and the Ditto stress ball.]

Here's the rest.

[ripetuto]

Bruno.

[No, first he gets a kiss before Leone even looks at the rest of what Bruno got him. The gloves and wine are more than welcome, the Ditto stress ball makes him laugh, but the box from the jewelry store makes him pause.]

[nellacerniera]

[It's bigger than a ring box, at least. Even Bruno knows that's probably too much at this point.

When Leone opens it, he'll find a choker--black and white gold, goes with his other things, and honestly, it looks like something Leone would buy for himself.]

[ripetuto]

...a choker?

[He takes it out of the box, getting a feel for it.]

It's gorgeous.

[nellacerniera]

[Bruno just plays a little with the necklace Leone gave him for his birthday.]

It seemed more your style than some of the other things I looked at.

[ripetuto]

Yeah, it's exactly my style. Help me get it on?

[nellacerniera]

Of course.

[He'll take the choker and move behind Leone.]

Get your hair for me?

[ripetuto]

[He does, staying still until the choker's on. Once it is, though, he pulls Bruno into a kiss.]

[nellacerniera]

[Bruno smiles into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Leone's waist.]

[ripetuto]

[After a moment:]

Let me get you yours, now.

[nellacerniera]

[Bruno nods, giving Leone a quick kiss before letting go so Leone can do that.]

[ripetuto]

[It's in his bag, so he sets the egg aside and goes to dig out the wrapped packages. Hopefully Bruno will like the journal, nice pen, CD...and the shiny Bisharp ugly Christmas sweater.]

[nellacerniera]

[Bruno's eyes light up at the first three, and then the sweater gets a laugh as he puts it on immediately.]

I love it.

[ripetuto]

I saw that thing and had to get it. I was going to get you the Shuppet, but...those colors.

[nellacerniera]

... Yeah. Like I said, I love it.

[He'll kiss Leone again.]

Thank you, Leone.

[ripetuto]

Merry Christmas, Bruno.

[A beat.]

And yes, I did get one for myself.

[nellacerniera]

Merry Christmas.

[He chuckles.]

Can I see?

[ripetuto]

[He goes to dig out the shiny Mareep sweater and hold it up so Bruno can see.]

They're really comfortable, if ugly.

[nellacerniera]

They really are comfortable.

[As he makes an amused noise at the shiny Mareep.]

[ripetuto]

I just want to know why this thing has these colors.

[nellacerniera]

That is a good question. Clearly we need to get you one with those colors, though.

[ripetuto]

They're all shinies, so good fucking luck.

[nellacerniera]

[He just laughs.]

However long it takes.
