meet me at the library lets woo this fucking luddite
[ sometime during the holiday season, wrapped in red and gold paper, tidily and well done because grace enlisted some of the staff to help her, a pile of gifts appears at the foot of theo's bed.
within the boxes are a variety of sleep masks, a cozy bathrobe that looks more suited to grace than theo so she probably intends to steal it once it smells like him, a box of chocolates with all the gross ones already taken out, and a handful of bath goodies like bubbles and salts and those fake roses you can peel the soap petals off to sprinkle in the bath. there's also a leather journal and a bundle of the sketching pencils she knows he likes best. ]
Teddie,
I love you more than light brown M&Ms. Merry Crisis!
Love, Gracie

[ He's so … everything she doesn't deserve to have. Cellar is looking at him like she knows it, too. ]
… I can tell you.
[ It'll take her a few moments, though. She gestures with her head at a couple of potted flowers — one spider lily, one orchid, both of which appeared when neither she nor Theo were around to see it happen. ]
Those're from August. He came over to apologize.
[ And then what. ]
I tried to warn him about Raíz, what — what happens when one of us dies, and he just didn't give a shit. It was so weird.
[ It was so annoying. ]
Then he just. Said I should hurt him back. I shouldn't have done it, should I?
[ Theo might be the closest she's had to a moral compass. Great is probably the sanest guy under Raíz's roof, but he's still her right-hand man for a reason. ]

[Theo casts a glance at the plants, listening - learning bits and pieces more about August, deciding bit by bit that he likes him even more. Thinking, as well, that he ought to ask about Raíz as well; but he's pulled out of that thought by her question, and looks back to her rather than across the room. If she's using him as a moral compass - well, there's some sort of joke there because his brows crease faintly.]
I don't know. Did you want to do it?
[And now those brows raise.]
I've done a lot of things that on paper... I probably shouldn't have. But I had reason, I had want... I had stupid ambition. Whatever you feel strongest toward - I think that's the right way in life. There comes a time when you have to stop thinking of others first, and instead favor yourself.
[You're the only person you can trust, after all. Isn't that - wasn't that right?]
Do you regret doing it? Not asking if you think you should, or if you think people'll tell you to. Do you.

[ The presents are all left under their precious tree - and Cellar emphasizes that he's not supposed to open anything until Christmas. Inside he'll find...
A choker with a spider pendant made from her shadows. All black, textureless, it doesn't reflect light or cast a shadow; it's virtually indestructible and will exist for as long as she's in Saltburn or until she dies.
A bottle of his favorite liquor in Special Christmas Edition™ packaging.
A silk robe.
A set of gouache paint.
A set of brushes with water containers on the body. All he has to do is squeeze the brush to wet the tip again! (that's what she s—)
A totally normalteddie teddy bear.
Whatever this dude's wearing for their future dancing lessons that they're totally gonna have eventually...,
A framed picture.......
i may or may not add to this
Merry Xmas Teddie bear!!!!!
I hope you know how special you are to me. This place would be so boring and lonely without you. Every day I'm more and more proud of myself for being a little shit and getting paint all over your face. ♥ ♥ ♥
Lovely, kind, funny, caring, supportive, SO FREAKING TALENTED, beautiful, my best friend in this world and the other. That's just a fraction of Theodore Price.
(Also pretty hot, I guess.)
Thank you for being you.
I love you so much!!!

(Here's to hoping that emphasizing those letters doesn't bite her in the ass.) ]
