( Holidays around the resort are nonspecific, apparently, and span across a few days. So it's tonight that Bakugo has a staff member knocking at his door to deliver gifts from one "Sir Esikko"— a lovely looking aloe vera plant with a care instruction card, hand-written and overly detailed, a sweatshirt that's stylized to be more like hanbok, and... a spiky choker that looks more like a dog collar. That one's mostly to embarrass him.
Along with the gifts are a note: Happy holidays, even if they're all new to me~ Recently, I got quite heated, but you still treated me kindly. Maybe we're friends, after all? I'd like that, at least. But if we are, don't disappear on me, okay? That's the deal. - Esikko
P.S. I recently was ranked all the way up to Ace. Stop by some time, if you want.
Along with his new room number. Don't mention any of his soft comments or he'll tsun about it, though!! )
[Seriously? With the cold weather bringing in winter season, Bakugo had hoped it was generic and nothing else. Apparently that's too much to wish for, since some people are into the holiday spirit. He's grown into a grump about the entire thing, so at least there aren't any annoying Christmas parties someone's trying to drag him off to. Getting a gift hand-delivered by a staff member is fucking weird...
He could've recognized who the gift comes from the moment he lays eyes on it, but some asshole had to announce it to his face. Dammit, don't spoil the fucking surprise! Now scram! And slams the door after the staff. Fuck your tip, walking spoiler. Hn, aloe vera. Yeah, yeah, the multiple meanings aren't lost on him. Easier to care for, spiky and sturdy, helps soothe burns. That sweatshirt is gonna get use without a doub-
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GODDAMN SPIKED CHOKER?! HE'S NOT A DAMN DOG!! ESIKKO, YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD!!
Shoving it into the drawer under his boxer briefs, Bakugo seals it away for... uh... ever. Maybe. And instead settles on reading the note. Not sure if "kindly" was how he treated Esikko, but they did get into an argument. Tch. Friends. Don't disappear. He can't promise that last one and it's fucking annoying to pressure him on it, even if he knows Esikko means it well. A brow arches at the new of Esikko ranking all the way up. Huh... interesting.
He's gonna have to do something to catch up. Somehow.
It's later on in the day that Esikko will find a package outside his own door. No stupid delivery service. Wrapped in smart black and rather sturdy. Inside, nestled in plastic wrap, is a Japanese-style bathrobe, likely best used in warmer weather compared to this cold crap... But what is good for winter is a wide variety of dried hot chocolate drink mixes packed in layers at the bottom of the box. Should be enough to last Esikko a good while if he doesn't go for them daily. Or do. There's about 30. (Look, they're not expensive.) Go wild and rot your teeth.
A small note sits atop the robe:
Don't freeze out there. I'll come by your new place later.
~ Bakugo
That's all. Mostly because he's not going to mention all the mushy crap and he's certainly not gonna write any either. Besides, he has questions about the rank change and would rather ask in person. Also, Esikko better have his shit in order now that he's got a bigger suite. He didn't clean up your room just so you could rank up and blow his efforts out of the damn water...]
( That's... a nice robe. He's absolutely going to use it when it's not frigid through the entire hotel, and maybe he'll even wear it alone and call Bakugo over some time, just to tease him. The image of it in his head is nice, he thinks, even if he's not sure he'd ever actually go through with it. Still, if only he could know that choker was tucked away in a drawer and not just thrown out. He'd be touched.
Just like he was touched about Bakugo's kindness (to him, it was kindness, more than he usually gets), and touched by the room cleaning before, too. Whenever he does visit, he can see how clean everything is. Housekeeping helps, and Esikko's books and plants and supplies are all organized so very similarly to how Bakugo had helped him with, just with far more space. So, it did have a lasting effect.
Time to have some hot chocolate. ♥ He does, at least, send a single text after receiving this. )
