"I… I've been given a lot of gifts in my life, but there's not a single one I cherish more than this one. We~ll, apart from you two, I guess, haha!"
It was a scarf. At first, he simply stared at it in confusion because why would he need a scarf but when he saw the hesitant but hopeful look on Kagami's face, he melted. With a grin and a soft thank you, he now wasted little time in rolling it around his neck. He couldn't stop his tail from wagging – he found it a bit embarrassing really – but found that it was slightly troublesome how his tail kept hitting the ends of the scarf.
Kagami, ever as vigilant, let out a soft chuckle before she turned him around by the shoulders, grabbing hold of the ends and tying them together. They now stuck upwards – a fact he found mystifying and exciting all at once – and the knot ensured he wouldn't drop the scarf accidentally.
He found himself hugging her again, a grin on his lips and his ears twitching in embarrassment. He was lucky, he thought, because Kagami was a very precious friend.
Though sometimes I wonder… what would it be like if… if she was more than that?
His cheeks grew red, but he convinced himself it was just because the scarf made it warmer.
