Anniversary gifts

[zen_of_kabaji]

First anniversaries are sort of hard to think about getting things for. I know I really don't have to, but I enjoy when I can give my husband little gifts that I think he'll like. I sort of blame growing up with Keigo for that. Not that that's a bad thing at all.

So I managed to get what I think is the perfect gift. First year anniversaries are called "Paper" and so I gave Ryou a gift of paper. I managed to get us four tickets to the US Open. He and the kids and I will fly to New York. We get to stay in a nice hotel and we get courtside seats for the tournament. This will be the first time our son has seen professional tennis in person.

Which I can happily announce that the last of the paperwork has been processed and Dmitri is officially and legally ours. And after talking a lot with him, he and the rest of the family have decided that he gets two names. His Russian one and a Japanese one. He picked Daichi. I think it's a very good name.

Ryou, darling, breathe. You don't have to get me anything. You loving me is more than enough.

Yes, I do. Or at least I should get you something. I mean, you're taking us all to New York, for crying out loud!

How about a nice set of matching family luggage? I can also help you get a babysitter and a reservation for someplace nice to eat in New York, if you like. Kaba...Munehiro likes the little things.

Yes, please! I'm such shit at thinking of gift ideas, even for my own husband. You are a life saver and I owe you for this.

*I* may have noticed that about you. But never fear, *I* have your back. Enjoy your trip!

You know, I could get annoyed about that, but it's not even worth it. You're helping me do something awesome for Hiro, so that trumps the rest.

Annoyed at what? What a thoughtful and helpful friend I am? Tsk.

Re: Private

[gekidazejanai]

At how haughty and full of yourself you still are.

Re: Private

[atoberex]

Some of us have already achieved perfection. Would you rather I practice some form of false modesty?

And for the rest of us that are still working on it, that needn't be rubbed in our faces.

[ooc: I would have died laughing if you had]

I cannot help that my mere existence is enough to make you feel inferior. As my grandmother always said: Don't be ashamed of who you are; hold your head up high and be an example to others.

[ooc: :D ]

Re: Private

[gekidazejanai]

Tch, I don't feel inferior to you at all!

Re: Private

I know, and that always amuses me.
