On the previous Valentine's Day at Hogwarts Skwisgaar hadn't been sure that Toki would want to celebrate the dildos holiday, but had taken the time to arrange gifts beforehand just in case, not wanting to be caught unprepared. Disappointment would have been a pretty shitty gift to give to anyone who wasn't Murderface. This year, at least he knew to expect something from Toki, and had begun his own preparations even earlier than last time...
Skwisgaar hadn't been able to think of any other piercings that could be put to good use during sex, like his tongue ring -- one of last year's presents -- could. A pierced foreskin or dick just seemed like a horrible idea for both of them, although he was still researching the possibilities there. They both also already had more sex toys than they knew what to do with, and besides, gifts of that nature seemed more like items chosen for himself rather than anything Toki would want.
Candy was always a good choice where Toki was concerned, he knew, and that part had been easily taken care of. But what else could he give that would show he put actual thought into the gift? Ridiculously over-commercialised holiday or not, he wanted Toki to enjoy it. But no member of Dethklok was left wanting for anything -- even the "underpaid" rhythm guitarist and bassist earned astronomical salaries, and could simply buy whatever it was they wanted.
In the end, Skwisgaar decided to employ the same theme as last Valentine's Day, and make something. Toki was always making crafts for others, so maybe he'd appreciate receiving one in return. The little token of their hair braided together had been a start... Now Skwisgaar was going to go all out.

On Valentine's Day, Toki's crystal Flying V-shaped dish from Christmas was on the desk in their room, now filled with an assortment of festive candy. Festive by Skwisgaar's definition, which meant an abundance of skull candies, anatomically correct gummy organs, dragon chocolates, deddy bear graham crackers, Flying V and Explorer tart candies, and other such sweets, all custom made to Skwisgaar's specifications courtesy of Jean-Pierre. (The special Shoggy-shaped candy that Dethklok's chef had also made would be presented to the Shoggies and Smaugpossibly at the Hat Shore party, elsewise in a different post later on.)
Propped against it was a handmade valentine. The base was a sheet of heavy black cardstock folded in half, with Toki's name written on the front in silver ink, and it featured a construction paper and marker scene within. Two little blond and brown-haired figures had been glued to a couch (the spikes drawn in silver ink), holding accurately detailed video game console controllers, with a skull with heart-shaped eyes drawn between their heads, and they were surrounded by pink construction paper blob shapes with several small googly eyes each. An attempt at Smaug had been made in a corner, the base made of red construction paper with stripes of rainbow glitter glued along the stomach, and the dragon's features detailed in gold glittery ink. There were also other miscellaneous details such as drawings of Toki's deddy bear and knitted bear in one corner, Skwisgaar's stuffed wolf from Toki in another, various Vikingesque battle axes here and there, yard wolves, guitars, Facebones, trolls, dragons, and shiny foil confetti in the shape of skulls and hearts, which had been painstakingly affixed piece by piece to fill in the empty space.
It had been signed in metallic red inkand just hover your pointer over the text for a handy translation to pop up:
Vill du bli min valentin?
Jag älskar dig.
with Skwisgaar's signature below it (a confetti skull had been glued above the "i" to dot it).
Skwisgaar wasn't an artist and his crafts were a bit subpar compared to Toki's, but it was clear he'd made an honest effort that had likely spanned hours, if not days. And he'd obviously raided Toki's own craft supplies, minus the foil confetti -- he'd thought of that part himself, and was rather proud of it.
Of course, Toki would first have to extricate himself from Skwisgaar before he could claim his Valentine's Day loot. The Swede was currently asleep, and the wintry temperature of the castle had caused him to unconsciously imitate a clinging octopus beneath the covers, in an attempt to soak up his bedmate's body heat.

Date: 2011-02-13 02:34 am (UTC)It took a moment of being awake to remember exactly what was so exciting about the day, but soon a vision of jumbled felt and construction paper reminded him of what he'd been anticipating. Like usual when a holiday was approaching, Toki had devoted whatever time he wasn't with Skwisgaar to making crafts for him with the upcoming holiday in mind. He'd also slipped off to Mordhaus briefly a few weeks back, to prepare part of his gift, a gift which had caused the engineering Klockateers more than a little concern, but which they'd agreed to accomplish with the usual "Yes, Sire".
As Toki finally opened his eyes, he caught sight of his crystal Flying V-shaped dish, which usually in the game room, but was now in their room, and filled with candy! And it looked like super-awesome candy- Toki knew his candy well, and, was sure that these were candies he hadn't seen before. From where he was, he couldn't see them too well, however, just like he couldn't quite make out the details of the Valentine card propped against the dish. He could, however, tell that it was handmade, which made him all the more impatient to take a good look at it.
Toki was still too comfortable to want to try too hard to get up, which would have indeed have taken some effort due Skwisgaar's cozy grip. Toki's own gifts for Skwisgaar would require getting up so that he could extract them from their hiding places in the closet and beneath the bed, aside from the couple of present he'd already had put into Skwisgaar's aquarium, under the hopes that he'd not notice them until the morning. This was a pair of red lionfish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_lionfish), and he'd counted on them being shy and hiding themselves away until they felt more comfortable in their new environment. He lifted his head enough to take a glance at the aquarium, but, couldn't tell if they were out and about yet.
After another moment, he wiggled around a bit, extracting himself just enough from Skwisgaar that he could reach over the side of the bed, trying to fumble around beneath it. His first few tries failed, but eventually he got hold of a bit of felt, and managed to pull out the gift from where he'd stowed it the night before. Squeezing up with Skwisgaar again, he shifted around enough to nuzzle at him, asking, "Skwisgaar, ares you awakes yet?" He then nuzzled him with the gift, which was a handmade plush toy with a card tied about its neck. This toy was meant to be a plush shark, but, Toki had evidently paid no attention to the real sharks in their aquarium while crafting it, the results of which meant that it looked more like a fat tuna with a big toothy mouth and extra pointy fins. Around its tail, a card was tied with a ribbon, one of Toki's usual construction paper and glue creations. The front contained a macaroni heart, covered with red paint and glitter, in the middle of which were simplified figures of himself and Skwisgaar atop an airborne Smaug, holding hands. A few blobs of pink construction paper with puff-ball eyes were stuck to the dragon. The inside of the card read simply, "Loves you, Skwisgaar, from Toki", and contained another cut-out-assembly image on the inside, of Skwisgaar as a merman, and himself as one too, of a rather catfishy nature, again holding hands.

Date: 2011-02-17 02:27 am (UTC)The only response Toki received to his nuzzling and question was a muffled grunt, and Skwisgaar would have fallen back into a deep sleep if not for the much fuzzier assault of nuzzling a moment later. His first thought was along the lines of, fuzzy handcuffs?, and without opening his eyes he slid a hand down Toki's body, feeling for his hip. As Skwisgaar shifted against him with the intention of rolling him onto his back, he became aware of at least one thin layer of fabric between them -- his one concession to the cold weather, a loose pair of pyjama bottoms. Realising that he'd have to move in order to get them off woke him up a little more, and he finally opened his eyes to look at Toki, noticing the handmade plush shark and card right off since they were practically in his face.
He pulled away enough to sit up, and after a few moments of disorientation, remembered what day it was. He'd set out his own presents to Toki in the middle of the night, after he'd been sure the Norwegian was really asleep.
"Happy Valsentine's day," he slurred between a yawn and a slow stretch, then accepted the shark that he assumed was intended for him. "Yous got somethings too," he said as he reluctantly got out of bed to retrieve the candy dish and card, the icy stone floor making him regret not setting them on the bedside table. Something to remember for the next gift giving occasion, if it occurred before summer. He put the items beside Toki and quickly slid back under the covers to warm up, and got comfortable against the pillows as he read his macaroni craft card. He was soon smiling, having found the Toki-catfish particularly amusing, which would lead to him suggesting that theme for Toki's Under The Sea costume later. "Thank yous. Ams a good shark, too," he added, and pushed the shark toy's snout against Toki's head while making exaggerated nomming sounds. He leant over and followed the shark attack with a kiss. "I loves you."

Date: 2011-02-23 11:25 am (UTC)Toki was still a bit sleepy, and didn't feel any need to rush Skwisgaar towards wakefulness, especially since it was far too pleasant feeling his warm body pressed against him beneath the covers. He was, however, having fun nuzzling him with the shark toy, and when Skwisgaar eventually opened his eyes Toki was grinning at him happily. "Good mornings, Skwisgaar, happy Valents. . .thats day," he decided to take the easy way out of mangling the world.
As Skwisgaar got up briefly, Toki became much more aware of the castle's morning chilliness- he'd opted against bothering with pajamas. He considered getting up himself to drag the remaining bit of Skwisgaar's present out of the closet, but opted against it when the Swede returned only seconds later. He quickly snuggled up with Skwisgaar to examine the handcrafted card, noticing all the little details- the googly eyes on the Shoggies were found especially entertaining. It took a long moment for his rapt focus on the card to break enough that he could examined the contents of the candy dish, which he was naturally delighted with. He laughed as Skwisgaar playfully assaulted him with the shark toy, his smile lingering as he returned the kiss. "Thank yous, Skwisgaar, I'm glad you likes the shark. I really likes the card, going to takes good care of it. . . can't really do that with the candy, but goings to enjoy it. I loves you, too."
Toki glanced at the aquarium again, telling Skwisgaar, "I got you some new underwater friends too, they's some lionfish with the red and whites stripes, but they might be hiding. . .or maybe nots, there's one." Indeed, one of the lionfish was out and about, having gotten somewhat more used to its home during the night. "I got some of the Klockateers to work on sharks armor for the sharks too. But, that's still in the closet," he explained. "I didn't know hows to put it on them." Which was of course, the inherent flaw in the shark armor concept, not that he'd cared about this detail when demanding its creation.
