[Ren lets out a breath through his nose as the corners of his mouth briefly turn upward.]
You really wanted to make sure you got this right.
[Although his inquiry may have seemed like a judgment, it was really just curiosity at the fact that Armitage seemed as if he were trying to keep it from him. As if there weren't enough plants blooming from the floorboard already, a fresh smell starts to fill the room as a few more appear.]
[Why is this so surprising!! Of course Hux wants to ensure that Kylo's birthday is one of his best ones just because he put the effort in. Because anything he does with a focused intent is destined to be great.]
...I realize that this day holds importance to you. [Why he decided to say that instead of his other thoughts, Hux doesn't really know. Okay, maybe he does, but humph.]
[It shouldn't be surprising, Ren is starting to think, and he almost feels bad for the fact that he keeps not expecting this sort of thing from his partner. But ultimately, it's a defense mechanism he can't exactly turn off, and he's not sure that he wants to when he keeps being so pleasantly surprised.
It's just better this way. If Armitage takes offense, Kylo will find a way to make it up to him.
To that end, he motions for Hux to come closer and sit next to him, even though there are still a few more presents.]
[Taking the invitation, Hux moves to sit next to Kylo. He doesn't really seem all that affronted at least, although he doesn't do much beside sit next to him. He's definitely open to contact, but he's unsure what Kylo wants to do or say.
[Hux doesn't have to wait long, as right after he sits down, Kylo puts his arm around the other man's shoulders and leans forward to kiss him on the cheek.
The rest of the gifts don't really matter, as far as what they are; he's just content sitting here next to his partner, leaning against him and appreciating their proximity. It's comfortable, and that feeling is something he's never stopped being drawn to.
Maybe that's weakness, but... they don't have the luxury of comfort back home. He wants to take it while he can get it.]

So, he's just going to wait for him.]
