cricketkate who wanted first holiday together w/ gift giving angst
“This is a nightmare,” Ethan lamented, staring at the computer screen with a glassy expression. After website visit fifty-three, they had all started blending together and he was pretty sure he accidentally purchased one of those singing fish at some point.
“You’re overthinking this,” Kyle said, sitting down on the couch next to him.
“I’m usually really good with gifts. I know how to make women swoon with my thoughtfulness.”
“So?”
“Have you ever seen Kat swoon?”
“There was that time at the movie theater when she started that fight and it looked like it might turn into a full-fledged riot.”
Ethan smiled and said, “That did make her pretty happy.” Ethan shut his laptop and leaned back on the sofa, covering his face with his arms. “She’s going to throw the gift in my face and hold it over my head for years to come.”
“No, she won’t.”
“Years.”
"At least you don't think she'll break up with you over it. That’s good, right?"
"You think she'll break up with me over a gift?" Ethan asked. He shook his head and said, "I'm doomed. She'll never forgive me if I screw this up. Why did I fall in love with the hardest person on the planet to shop for?"
“Have you asked Lena for help? Her sister should have some insight into buying gifts for Kat. She has years of experience.”
“I was hoping to do this on my own. It’s our first Christmas as a couple and I want it to be special.”
“Sometimes I forget that you’re the girl in your relationship.”
Ethan glared at him and said, “So are you.”
“I’m gay. What’s your excuse?”
Ethan groaned and said, “I’ll call Lena later. Right now I want to watch some football.”
“I’m sure Kat will love whatever you get her.”
“You have met Kat, right?”
“Yeah, you’re screwed.”
