Sentence # 38

38. Gift

Quatre never bought Duo a gift that he knew Duo himself couldn't afford; Duo wouldn't appreciate it and the purpose of a gift was to make someone happy… besides, Duo had weird tastes, and for some reason, the things he truly liked were never expensive, just hard to find.

I like this. Quatre's got the right idea with gift giving, it's not the price, it's the thought, and getting someone something they want but not easily found.

Do wonder if Duo's hints take into that into account to give Quatre the thrill of the find, and so that the money thing between them isn't an issue.

I agree with everything you said, and I think the second sentence sounds like a cute idea for a story. I can just picture Duo sending Quatre on a merry hunt for something just because he thinks Quatre needs to get out and have some fun. ^_^

I'm loving these sentences!

I can see Duo doing that too.

I'm glad that you are enjoying the sentences. They are fun to write. Not many left but they are fun.

Thank you! I'm glad that you liked it.

Duo likes giving hints too, and Quatre knows him well enough to pick up on them.

The hard to find (and still cheap) ones are always the best presents! ^_^

Aren't they? There's nothing like a present that shows that the other person really knows you. ^_^

That is really sweet. Love how these show that they know each other very well.

*smiles* Thank you. I like to think that they have one of those really close friendships, where you know each other so well, and still discover something new every now and then.
