ཐི♡ཋྀ You wouldn’t think Billy would be the type to shower the people he loves and cares about with gifts on this special day, but you’d be wrong. In fact, Billy is the type who plans out gifts way in advance. Holidays are so conformist, but his love for you isn’t.

What people don’t give Billy credit for is that he’s observant; his gifts are sweet and handmade, showing you just how much he pays attention to you.

Attached to your waist is a little plushie that looks like you, because Billy remembers the time you pointed out the goat plushie he often brought along with him. He remembers letting you hold it, awing at the craftsmanship, hugging it close. He’d steal it back from you, turning his face in embarrassment, wishing it were you giving him hugs. But the memory of your happy face holding the little plushie made him realize he needed to do something to bring it back.

Adorning your figure is a jacket that Billy has taken the time to decorate just for you. Billy points at all the designs he’s added in fabric paint and what they all mean. There are handmade pins, grommets, chains, studs, patches, and spikes that litter the garment. He’ll help you slip the jacket over your shoulders, letting your arms rest in the sleeves. When he takes a step back, he’s in awe. You look amazing.

Billy rubs the back of his neck, flusteredly telling you how he tried not to go too intense on the design, just in case you wanted to make it yours with your own embellishments.

You can only smile, rushing to his body with your own, embracing him. Billy may be caught off guard, but he will always return your hugs. Your warmth is something he never realized he’s been missing in his life.

Billy then would slip a cassette tape into your hands along with a portable player: a mixtape with the list of songs he’s lovingly and selectively chosen that either reminded him of you, or songs he thought you may enjoy. It’s a gift you can’t enjoy at the moment, after all, you’ve got a concert for two that Billy has bought the tickets for. But whenever you do listen to it, you realize just how lucky you are to have met someone who knows you so intimately.

The concert is wild, featuring several punk bands performing that night, with loud music resonating within your heart.

Billy sticks by your side the whole night, whether that’s choosing to be off to the side, just enjoying the music. Unless you’d rather get closer to the stage, dancing and singing your hearts out. Or maybe you want to be in the pit, then Billy makes sure no one is too forceful or aggressive with you. Your Billy is protective; he won’t hesitate to ram into anyone with his horns if that means you feel safe and get to thoroughly enjoy yourself at the concert. Kind of like your own bodyguard! He knows you’re strong; he knows that all too well, after all, your strength is one of his favorite things about you. But tonight, he doesn’t want you to worry at all about being strong. Let him take care of everything and have you enjoy yourself.
