You and Choso have been dating for quite some time now. He's never been much of a talker, choosing to live in the relationship in a comfortable silence. He'd express his opinion on things in simple words and short phrases. It took a while to get him out of his shell. Through Choso's tough exterior, you found a much more loving and sarcastic man underneath his aloofness.

Your anniversary has rolled around once more. Choso wished to surprise you with something. He wasn't particularly well-off, but his gifts were always of sentimental value. No matter how hard it was to express his love for you in words, he made up for it with his actions and gift-giving. He wanted to go all out. Choso knocked on your door, waiting outside with your gift. Once you opened it, you were met with a lovely surprise.

"Happy anniversary..." Choso whispered. He held a bouquet in one hand and a small cat in the other. Despite his poker face, he appeared quite delighted to see you. Within those dead eyes of his was adoration for his lover—you.
