Ted let out a small, excited noise. He couldn't have helped himself. He was excited about everything and, as much as he tended to stay at normal volumes, Ted couldn't keep that little moment of excitement from bubbling out. "We can't have stomach aches," he agreed, laughing a little. "I think we would both feel rather ill if we ate first." Which was true. Her excitement, would only fuel his own.
Ted took his present from her, eyes lighting up. "You got me a present!" He liked presents. He often said it wasn't important to get him presents, but the truth was, he loved presents.
He opened the present quickly, smiling brightly as he did so. "It's perfect!" He liked snow globes. He liked them even more when they were given to him from Andromeda. He liked everything better when it was given by Andromeda. As Andromeda unwrapped her present, Ted grinned. "You do? Brilliant! I hoped you would. I thought you could use some slippers...for the house to keep your feet warm."
