[Hikaru wonders if he can even give Taichi what he wants. They literally have no time to do anything but ugh, he doesn't want to think about that.
There's something distinctly hilarious about how Taichi still holds onto him. Maybe Hikaru should have let go but it cheers him up knowing that Taichi hadn't wanted to let go either. Even if it made more sense to do so and he has to let go to open the present anyway.
He can tell the box is made and Hikaru smiles at it. Taichi was good at origami, he knew that much and more. They had really gotten to know each other.
When he opens it and sees the gloves, it's just his first instinct to examine them. It was simply how he was taught and it's a hard habit to break. But instantly he notices:]
You made these. [Hikaru hasn't seen Taichi's work before but he can tell from how they were made it wasn't from somebody that was an expert in this. That doesn't make them bad by any means because they aren't. His fingers rub over the fabric and the seams although his critical eye has become a little less intense once he's realized that Taichi made them. If this wasn't goodbye then he might have had some critique but all he can think about is how Taichi made him these. Taichi threw him this party. Taichi liked him enough to do all of these things for him and Hikaru can't stand it as he pulls Taichi into another hug.]
I can't believe you. Those had to have taken you ages. How long were you working on them? That's not an easy design and the fabric can be a pain and I...[He's touched. He's happy despite it all. ]
