I thought it might make it less uncomfortable if you could just choose to leave the box or not without making it a whole thing. And food is generally less charged.
If it helps, I know any and all surprises for you should be lowkey at most. No big surprise parties or anything.
Art studio. I had to repair the room Wukong wrecked the outer wall for and I realized I could just make it a large window for natural lighting, and went on from there. I just had to make sure I was doing work there only when he was spending the night at Wukong's.

Re: Christmas Day
They would. At least it will be less loud, even with your ears.
Food.
Re: Christmas Day
Why would you give me food?
[ A second later ]
Fine. Thank you.
In the future, can you just ask me instead of trying to test the waters like that?
Re: Christmas Day
But I can ask.
Re: Christmas Day
What'd you get MK?

Re: Christmas Day
That's a pretty good gift. Nice work.
Re: Christmas Day
I hope so. I've only seen him sketching and using those crayons, so I don't know if he would be really interested in a bigger set up.
But I figure having more of his own designated space is good too. [He's nervous about the gift, it's the first really big one for MK.]
Re: Christmas Day
I did get him something, as promised. Or made, I guess.
Re: Christmas Day
[The embarrassed happy feelings are real.]
Thank you.
He's going to be so delighted. He'll probably go for an excited hug.
Re: Christmas Day
He might very well ask what changed my mind. Any thoughts on what I should tell him?
Re: Christmas Day
You could tell him we're in a therapy pact.
Re: Christmas Day
[ "Therapy" just sounds so... ]
Re: Christmas Day
[It is basically therapy.]

Re: Christmas Day
Well, he is cute when he's pretending to play dumb just to be cheeky.
[Because he would pretend he doesn't get that more complicated explanation.]
Re: Christmas Day
I only pay attention on whether he's going to make a thing of it, not how he looks while doing that.
