[He's momentarily caught off guard at the appearance of the gift outside his door. It's not his birthday and he's pretty sure a holiday didn't creep up on him. But after bringing it inside and opening the note, Katsuki recognizes the handwriting immediately.
The words are quiet and carry a bittersweet weight to them. To think this guy had to safeguard himself against someone thinking a gift had bad intentions... and still offers the choice to get rid of something that was a kind action.
Katsuki has disposed of gifts before, when he was younger and a far worse person than he is now. He isn't going to make that kind of mistake again. Especially not with the small twitch at the corner of his mouth when he sees the book. Yeah, the trip is a difficult one, with weighty memories and pain... but it wasn't a waste to be thrown out.
[Raidou came home with pretty much nothing in his bag but a bunch of souvenirs he got before the whole place went to hell. Be bought precisely one small thing for himself, the rest of his money spent of gifts for others.]
I would be glad to. I flipped through it, and there were some interesting things in there.
[Raidou is indeed a thoughtful person. A far cry from the closed-off military tool Katsuki met half a year ago. The gift checks a lot of the blonde's tricky boxes: succinct, useful, quality, something he's good at.]
[Enjoy a picture of the book open on Katsuki's lap to the recipe. Japchae (Korean glass noodles) with tofu, spinach, carrots, onions... Katsuki's already reading through the ingredients and directions. Might kick that sauce up a little... unless Raidou arrests the guy with devil's tongue first.]
We do. Then, let's give it a try as soon as the air conditioning is working again. I don't think we want to spend too much time in the kitchen as it is.

Something to try when the only protein on the menu is kaiju-based.
[He is really not into the whole kaiju meat deal, thanks.]

Did you find that revolver in one of those or did it come with you through the portal?
