Early Gifts

Saber · Dec 8, 2016

"I don't see the point of this ritual," the Shadow said to the back of his mind and he approached Nyota's dorm, "Why exchange this....things?" He gave a sorta mental shrug, the Shadow had been more calm lately, not any kinder, but calmer, less yelling, and strangely he's been acting as if curious about the world, about why people did the things they did.

He stopped in front of the door, in his left hand he held a pizza, in his right he had a bag with his gifts, neatly wrapped, he didn't have many friends, Nyota was one of the few, so of course he gotten her some things, it was the least he could do. He spawned a shadow tentacle from his shoulder and knocked on the door.

Nyota was hunched over her desk staring at several math problems in on of her textbooks when she heard a knock on her dorm. If it had been her roommates they would have just walked right on in so... it must have been James. Nyota raised herself from seat and mozied her way to the door.

"Sup dork." greeted Nyota as she swung the door open.

The first thing that caught her eyes ares the box of pizza that James hold out for her.

"Hahaha... I don't recall ordering pizza but you can come right on in delivery boy~" chuckled Nyota as she hold the door wide open for him to enter.

It was then that she noticed the other thing he was holding, a presant so neatly wrapped up. This was a bit puzzeling to her as Christmas was weeks away.

"Did... Christmas come early and I didn't get the memo or something?" inquired Nyota as she closed the door after James had entered.

He laughed a little and her question, "I decided to give gifts early when I can," in truth there weren't a lot of people for him to give gifts to, and it was his first Christmas. He smiled, it was his first Christmas, the first time he'd been able to celebrate it, and he looked at it as an opportunity to be grateful for his new life, for the few friends he had.

He handed her the bag, "I got a bit....impatient," he didn't have too much money, but he was trying to give his friends a few things, he had gotten Nyota a Starship Enterprise lamp and a picture of them from when they went trick or treating, no expensive but nice gifts, ones he hoped she liked.

"Mhmm... well whatever. Guess it don't matter too much if I get gifts a bit earlier."

Nyota grabbed the gift bag and took it over to her bed. As she poured out the contents, she was delighted with with the Star Trek lamp and the photo of them trick-or-treating. Good times... though... she didn't have any memory of when James took the photo.

"Hahaha... a lamp? A fucking star trek lamp? Where did you even find find this? I used to have one almost just like this back at my house."

Nyota couldn't help but smile like an idiot as she sets the lamp on the corner of the desk and plugs it in. Once it was plugged in, Nyota turned on the light and it sure enough worked.

"Bhaa ha hahaa! Still works! Man... this sure brings back memories."

Nyota then turns around, beaming him an earnest smile on her face.

"Thanks dork! No really... this makes this place feel a bit homey now." stated Nyota as she places the picture of them propped up against the base of the lamp.

He smiled at his friend's happiness, it was hard for James to make friends, so he appreciated the few that he had,"your welcome, I saw it and thought you'd like it," Nyota had gotten James hooked on Star Trek as well, "I tried to find one of the character you had crush on......but they didn't have it,' he smiled and chuckled at his friend, it had taken a while before he figured out what she had said back at the station meant.

"Anyways, you've been a good friend, despite my idiocy," he meant it, he really appreciated her being there for him, "thank you."

Nyota stared back at James before she blushed and looked away. God that was embarrassing... it was one of those dumb childhood crushes that nowdays would make her crindge. She had enough problems with her parents teasing her over crush for Worf and now James is going to give her shit too for it.

"Err... yeah... thanks dork. Well shit... your making me look bad now aren't ya. I should go get you something so that we are even. Hrrmmm..."

Nyota looked around her section of the room for an appropriate gift that she can give to James but didn't see anything that she owned that she felt was a suitable gift nor willing to give away.

"How about this... I take you to my favorite thrift store that I found in the city and you can pick out whatever in there. They have all sorts of cool stuff for cheap. Whatever you want from there I will buy. Deal?" proposed Nyota as she stuck out her hand out to James, as if to formalize the deal.

He chuckled at his friend, he wouldn't tease her over the childhood crush much, but she poked fun at him too, "you don't have to do that Nyota," he didn't have a lot of money, but he had wanted to buy a few things fir the few people he knew.

He smiled at her offer to take him to a thrift store, he chuckled again, and decided to give in. He shook her hand, "thank you," he then gestured to the pizza he held, "we should eat first though, dont want it getting cold."

Nyota looked to the pizza laying out and nodded her head agreement.

"Ah! Yeah, good idea there James. Gotta enjoy the pizza while its still warm at least." replied Nyota as she stole a slice of cheese pizza from the box.

Nyota then took a seat with her best friend and quietly enjoy eating pizza for sometime before she a question popped up in her mind and she asked her friend.

"So what did you usally do for all of your other Christmas' anyway? I get that could not have enjoyed a proper Christmas but... was sort of thing did you usually do for the holidays?"
