[ Did Yuri literally go out and buy a burner phone just so he could make this post under the guise of anonymity? Yes, yes he did. Is he also a painfully predictable sixteen year old who thinks he's more clever about aforementioned anonymity than he actually is? Most definitely. Pretty much anyone who knows Yuri even slightly is going to see the hell through that username- but fuck it, right? This is a god damn important question. And since he and Otabek haven't really. Officially announced things to anyone who isn't considered family, anyway well, this seems like his best bet to get advice without you know... lighting up their relationship to all of Riverview. Not that Yuri doesn't want to do that, eventually- but they're still in their fledgling stages. He's just not quite ready yet. ]

So I just started dating someone recently and like. They're really cool, and great, and have been way too nice to me in the presents department- so I want to pay them back, you know? Spoil them too. Problem is- they're really hard to shop for. Like. They're so cool but also minimalist and it's fucking hard, okay. I keep feeling like all of my ideas are okay, but not good enough for someone as great as he is. And I want to do something that's like- the best. The absolute best. Money isn't really a concern but, being reasonable is better than not. I don't think he'd appreciate the stupid champagne and diamonds treatment... that's so lame... diamonds aren't even rare. Also, it's probably way too soon for diamonds. I don't want to scare him off-

[ This is about the point where Yuri realizes he's rambling, and that he's getting off track because he's so fucking nervous. ]

I've never been in a relationship before. And I want to make it as good for him as he does for me.

tl;dr gift suggestions for the coolest guy on the planet who also seems to have everything he wants needed, assholes with basic bitch suggestions not welcome, or wanted.

[Ed has spent too many years doing this to get riled up by Yuri's aggressive response or he'd probably get a biting reply back. Too many years in Purg have mellowed him out, and it takes something special to get him that angry anymore. All he really gets out of this reply is that Yuri doesn't know the guy that well and that's why this is difficult. Ed's only ever done something special for someone he knows, so it isn't something he can really relate to.]

It's not easy if you're still getting to know each other.
Does he have other friends here you might be able to ask about his interests?

[That seems to be a go to most times he's seen this dilemma, ask other people that have known the person longer or might be from their home world. He has no idea they're from the same world for obvious reasons.]

Yes, he has all kinds of friends and that's exactly why I bought a burner phone and reached out anonymously instead of talking to them behind his back.

[ The sarcasm is too real. ]

If it was that easy, I would have already talked to them. He's a very private person, and I'm...
I'm really lucky, that he's chosen me to let in. That we feel the same way. I'm not exactly always easy to get along with.

[ Yuri, you don't say. ]

[alchemyfreak]

Maybe you thought you'd get better results casting a bigger net.

[What does he know? If Yuri's sarcasm bothers him he doesn't react to it. At all.]

I know that feeling. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but as you get to know him you'll think of something.

I can make most things with the right materials, so if you think of something and need help putting it together that much I can do, at least.
