"Here you go Doc!" Rex said enthusiastically as he gave Dr. Holiday a neatly wrapped, blue box with a red ribbon taped on top.
Just two days ago, Rex found out when Holiday's birthday was after sneaking into the secret files room. He also found out some bonus information such as, a picture of Captain Callan in pre-school, how old Dr. Rhodes actually is and White Knight's real name. He was close to coming on to Six's name, but he was caught by one of the female soldiers. After being sent back to his room, he thought of a gift to give for the good doctor. He looked around his room and pondered. A birthday card? Nah, too common. A night light? She doesn't even need one! (but he did) All of a sudden, it him in the head!
"Thanks Rex!" Holiday said gratefully with that charming smile of hers. He beamed her another smile and walked over to Six, who was just standing at the sidelines. Rex smirked proudly and leaned in to Six
"Bet you can't beat my gift" he whispered, taunting the green man. Six simply stared at Holiday who was ripping off the wrappers eagerly.
As soon as all the wrapping was on the floor, she took the lid off the black box and her eyes sparkled at what she saw. It was a beautiful silver necklace with an Amethyst pendant on it. She gasped at the sight and stared at Rex, who was still grinning like the happy boy he is. Holiday was stuttering when she spoke, still surprised at the expensive gift
"Oh my gosh, Rex! It's beautiful! How'd you-? When'd you-?"
"I worked my butt off for Knight doing a little extra work. It wasn't easy, but...anything for you, Doc!" he replied happily
"Thank you, Rex. I'll cherish this always" she remarked
She undid the latch of the chains on the necklace and put it on. She looked absolutely gorgeous with it. Rex was still smiling and Six was still looking, smirking lightly at the scene. To think Rex was only 16, but he already went the extra mile for her. What a guy. But now it was Six's turn to give his gift. He stuffed one rough hand in his pants pocket and fiddled with the object inside it. He's never felt so nervous in his life! That one little gift will actually change his life! Let alone his very existence! If this doesn't work, he won't know what to do. But for now, he just had to suck it up and give her the thing. He let out a big breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding and walked up to the female.
Dr. Holiday was observing Six's every move. His hand was still in his pocket and by the looks of it, his fingers were definitely messing around with whatever was inside it. He was kind of shaking a little, but tried to maintain his composure and still showed off his infamous poker face. She was no idiot and knew that Six was nervous. She raised an eyebrow, smirking at every movement he made until he was dead in front of her.
"Doctor" Six started
"Six" Holiday said, a smirk still playing on her lips
"Happy Birthday" he said stoically, taking his hand out of his pocket, along with the object he'd been rolling around in his pocket
Holiday's sense of pride was now lost as she looked at the object handed to her. She held out her hand as he dropped the object in there. She raised an eyebrow in complete confusion. In her hand, was a round, colorful, but mostly green (of course) ball made up of rubber bands repeatedly wrapped around each other. She looked back up at Six, who wasn't in front of her anymore, but next to Rex. Meanwhile, the teen was trying to hold back a loud laugh, but couldn't help it and started giggling like a maniac. He was laughing so hard, tears started to form in his eyes and he crouched down, holding on to his stomach and trying to catch his breath.
Though the sight was amusing, they had to get back to work, and that they did. Six picked the kid off the floor and dragged him out of the lab, leaving a still confused Holiday alone. She closed her hand and threw the rubber band ball on the floor. Like any other rubber ball, it bounced back up high and she caught it. She stared at it again and set it back on the table, sitting down and tried to continue her work. Emphasis on the word "tried". She can't focus because of the stupid gift Six just gave her.
Honestly, she expected something like that from Rex, but nothing from Six. Where'd he get this many rubber bands to make this anyway? If the roles were reversed, then nothing would confuse her and everything would be totally normal. She stared at the colorful sphere again while resting her cheek on her hand. She must admit, it does look cute. She still didn't understand why Six was a little out of character when he was going to give it to her. Maybe it was because he had such a stupid gift and she might not accept it. She sighed and continued to try and focus on her work...once again, emphasis on the word "try".
