Sebille was pretending to look at the scrapbook she'd brought with her,
but actually she was looking at Null and contemplating something.
|
She should just come out and ask him, shouldn't she? What was the worst
that could happen?
(Probably him strangling her, haha.)
|
"Say..." she begun.
|
The man was turning his bag around in his hands and didn't answer, but
Sebille knew he was listening. He always was.
|
"Is... there something you'd like to get?"
Her voice came out careful as she tried out the new turf she was playing in.
|
"No." he said and closed the clasp.
|
As he bent down to put away the bag, the woman came forward; "It could be
anything. Anything at all?"
|
He straightened again and silver eyes travelled to meet hers, "No."
|
"Oh come on, think. Something you'd like to have, or have done to you
or...?"
|
"There's nothing."
The model sensed irritation from his voice but she wouldn't give up.
|
"How about..."
|
"A new hat?"
|
Null said nothing and Sebille wondered if that was something he might
want; it wouldn't be that hard to find, at least.
She watched him bring his hand to the hat slowly.
|
"No."
"Umpff!"
|
"I don't believe you." She fixed the hat; "There has to be
something you want."
There wasn't a person in the world that didn't want something.
|
"Why?"
|
"Your birthday is coming up and I wanted to give you something."
|
His stance tensed up for a minute.
"!"
"You're looking at me like there's more than one person who'd know such a
thing and could've told me that." she almost laughed.
The woman hoped he wouldn't be mad at Sebastian; Sebille was the one that
had pestered him about it. It'd taken him a while to reveal the date, and he still wouldn't
tell her his age. Sebille could only guess how old the man was.
|
"...Unnecessary."
|
"No, Null."
|
She slid her hands to his shoulders, "It's not unnecessary. I just wanted
an occasion to make you happy."
|
"No need to."
"Oh right. Because you're the epitome of happiness?" She mocked, "Just tell
me what you'd like."
|
"Drop it, Seb."
Hmph. As if she'd do that now.
