Holidays just didn't get less metal than Valentine's Day. Despite this commonly known fact, this was the first year Nathan was both dating someone (even if they hadn't really worked out the details of their relationship yet, sex-with-just-one-person counted as dating to him) and actually felt like doing something for them, this time without being guilted into it first.
Ofdensen's presents surprised him—he hadn't thought Ofdensen was the sort of guy who'd celebrate such a cheesy, overly commercialised holiday. The digital recorder in particular was appreciated, considering he'd accidentally dropped his old one in the toilet several days ago (hey, he'd been inspired while taking a piss) and had been reluctant to touch it since. Ech. Toilet germs.
After getting his own gifts ready—in black wrap with black bows, what else—he sent an owl back to Ofdensen:
How'd you like the poem?
Nathan
He hadn't been able to decide between them, so he got both (http://www.alexandermcqueen.com/us/en/shop/Menswear/autumn-winter-09/Accessories/Gifts/P-BLACK-SKULL-CUFFLINKS.aspx) sets (http://www.alexandermcqueen.com/us/en/shop/Menswear/autumn-winter-09/Accessories/Gifts/P-SKULL-CUFFLINKS.aspx) of skull cuff-links, since Ofdensen pretty much lived in suits and might actually have a use for them, and an anatomically correct gummy heart (http://pics.livejournal.com/needsanewliver/pic/00009qp8), which was way more brutal than the other kind. The dude on the box was even skinless, and that was awesome. (Though Nathan did briefly have a horrifying flashback to their adventures with dieting and bondage gear made of human leather.)
