[For Yuuko, plain old storebought items didn't seem like they would be enough for the holiday season. Lance has spent hours in the kitchen mixing up various concoctions to make up a nice box for his bestest momfriend. Courtesy of Blue Lion Apothecary™, there's a few little items for Yuuko to use in the bath like a body scrub, some bath fizzies, and a face mask. There's even a rainbow body butter thrown in for good measure because dry skin is a sin against man in Lance's eyes.
Never one to leave well enough alone, Lance also tosses in a silky bathrobe, a heating cap that doubles as a regular shower cap, and a scented candle because who doesn't like aromatherapy?]
[Christmas gifts aren't really Shoto's forte but he was determined to at least try given he had met since his arrival here that he counted as a friend.
Which is why, on Christmas Eve, Yuuko will find herself receiving a small parcel via Pidgey Post from the young man, the box neatly wrapped with a card on top that has the following message inside--]
Yuuko,
I hope you have a wonderful holiday and that you enjoy this dessert in the spirit of the holiday.
Sincerely, Shoto and Team
[Inside the box is a small Japanese style Christmas cake in the shape of a Vulpix head.
[Beep beep, it's the Ponyta Express! With a gift for Yuuko!]
[It is, in fact, a scarf, mitten, cap set. Sort of like this, but modeled after the Alolan Vulpix. In fact, it's made with shed fur from said Vulpix! Just for better insulation. The tag even has the name of the pokemon who donated her extra fur.]
Yuuko, Thank you. Just for being here. You're a steady head and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I hope this keeps you warm out on the ice.
A Sensu Oricorio comes bringing a small package for Yuuko on Christmas day. Inside is a muffler painstakingly knit in the shape of a Dewgong. It’s long, flowing tail drapes beautifully when thrown over one’s shoulder. Along with the scarf is a Christmas card where Kazuki had somehow managed to wrangle most of his Pokemon into one picture. The message is simple: Merry Christmas
I was wondering, do you happen to know anything about ballet? It's all right if you don't. It's just that, my mind thought of you as a person who might know more about it.
Thank you! I was so surprised when it was announced, I almost couldn't believe it!
[Meanwhile, Biellmann is strutting around behind Yuuko, still wearing his crown. He'll probably refuse to take it off for another week because of their victory.]
And congratulations to you, too. You definitely deserved to place.
[So, about a day or so after the whole Aether Foundation Raid went down, there's a message on the 'gear. Just a plain, ordinary text message. No fuss, no fancy text.]
[There's about a minute's pause before Yuuko replies.]
Kind of...bluntly, I guess? We were both alone at the rink after closing time, and we got to talking, and when there was a lull in the conversation he suddenly blurted out if I'd marry him. Honestly, he's never been the smoothest person, but I could tell it was something he'd wanted to ask for a while.
[Probably not the answer Lance is looking for, but Takeshi has always gotten straight to the point about most things.]

I need some help.
With an anniversary.
text;
Date: 2019-02-04 07:55 pm (UTC)An anniversary, huh? What kind are we talking about here?
[Yuuko has a feeling she already knows the answer to that, but it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway.]
text;
Date: 2019-02-05 02:22 am (UTC)Matt and I.
And like I said to Sasha: I am romantically challenged.
text;
Date: 2019-02-05 03:11 am (UTC)What about doing something in the spot where you first decided to get together? Some nostalgia can be nice.
[Granted, for her and Takeshi it was at Ice Castle. But it's worth suggesting.]

Thanks! Sticky's been over the moon, but Tonks has been pretty jealous. I've had to coddle him a lot to make sure they still get along.
