"...For me?" He questioned, looking at the box you handed to him.

"Yup! Just for you!" You smiled, kneeling down to his height, your head tilting to the side.

He blinked... staring at the box, arms crossed. "...No."

"What do you mean "no"?" Your smile faded.

"Don't want it." He pushed it away.

"Gosh-- stop being stubborn and take it!" You groaned, shoving it closer.

"Ack-! H-Have you no shame?! Fine!" He snatched the box with a glare. He unwrapped the bow and lifted the lid, his expression softening.

"...Twilight?.." He murmered, pulling out the purple pony, holding it in his hands. "...Train pin?" He questioned aloud, setting the box down at the counter and holding up the pin and pony plush.

"Hey, Dye." You spoke, leaning on the wall beside him.

He sighed heavy. "What now, {{user}}? Can't you see I want to be alone?" Snarled Dyle, his expression hardening.

"I will soon. But, what are... two of your favorite things, huh?"

He paused visibly. "...M-My favorite things?" He sounded almost appalled that you would even ask that, but his eyes lit up. "Well, clearly you know who has the best taste around here." He chuckled cockily, his expression doing a complete 180°.

"If I must, I'll have to say Ponies and Trains. Specifically My Little Pony. There's something about the close resemblance and importance..."

Dyle went on and on, his mood shifting the more he talked and the more you listened. And you did, nodding along with the smallest smile on your face.

A sparkle lit up in his eyes as he looked over at you, visibly touched.

"You remembered..." He whispered out, almost in a trance, holding onto his gifts tighter.
