December 18th – Presents
They had agreed they would never stoop so low as to get presents to one another.
They had managed to stick to their oath pretty well for the first couple years, but after a particularly close brush with death after one of Lin's squad operations had gone horribly wrong, they had both begun to soften.
Kuvira was the first to give in; she offered Lin a whole new set of teacups, after she had accidentally smashed a couple during a heated make-out session. Lin retaliated by getting her a pair of flat, black leather shoes, under the pretext that she was tired of hearing Kuvira complain about her heels every time they took a stroll outside.
Neither of them ever commented on the nature of these gifts; they both favoured silent enjoyment over sappy displays of affection anyway. However, as time went on, gifts began to multiply, and after a while, neither of them seemed to even care about disguising their intentions anymore.
It rapidly became a tradition for them to exchange gifts exactly three days past Christmas, so as to protect however little remained of their pride.
