[ Oh, how the tables have turned. Or rather, how the tables will turn. Because it's still very early in the month, and while Robby will certainly be the one standing next to Daniel and hoping the older man likes the gifts Robby is throwing at him, right now it's definitely Daniel in that position.
Especially since it's not like he knows a lot about skateboards. Let's be real, he probably had to get quite some help to even get this present done in the first place - and even then he wasn't sure about the end result. Sure, he likes the way it looked, b-but does it pass the test of a teenager who loves these things?
.. apparently it does, judging by Robby's reaction. His glee is almost childish, but that's exactly the kind of reaction Daniel was hoping for. Robby being able to experience at least some birthday joy, despite the cancelled party and the circumstances.
It makes Daniel momentarily duck his head with a grateful smile, only looking back up when Robby speaks up, ready to meet the teen's gaze if necessary--
U-Until that last part, that is. Because Daniel was ready to laugh right alongside him, but there's something about those last words that makes the man's eyes go wide. Not even in a negative way.. Not necessarily, anyway.
Because, yes, Daniel looks utterly shocked, but there's something kind of comical about it. Like Daniel's fusiness being turned up to the maximum limit. ]
Is it bad? [ Just listen to the speed he says that with. It's like Daniel is going to trip his tongue over his own words if he'd speak even faster than this, his cheeks starting to color with a very faint coldblood blush.
Sure, Robby seems happy, but.. d-did he screw up the birthday present after all?! Did he forget about a crucial part of skateboarding?!
(Yes. The downsides of being a very uncool middle aged man.) ]
If-- [ Oh god. Panic. Panic!!! ] If you don't like that, I could see if I can do something about it..
[ Look at this mess of a man. So desperately wanting to please his son student on his special day. So determined to get everything right here - like one tiny mistake about all of this is enough to potentially bring down the way Robby seems delighted about it. This is how much he loves you, Robby. ]
