Tino wasn't really one to hold grudges. It came with the territory of being extremely guarded with emotions. If he held onto things that bothered him, then people might actually figure out he cared. And that wasn't good for his image, or his reputation. He had spent almost his entire life building it up to look like he didn't give a fuck about anyone or anything. So, it needed to continue to look that way.
That was why he was on his way to Mia's house. As much as he wasn't one to hold grudges, he really wasn't one to ask permission or announce himself. As far as he knew, she had no idea he was coming. It wasn't to surprise her or anything, although a part of him felt like she might try and put it off if he let her know he was coming. It was just to... well... see her. He wasn't sure why, except that the gift he'd absent mindedly picked up for her was sitting on his bureau taunting him. And after a couple weeks of that, enough was enough.
The walk was short and painless. The tiny box was shoved under his arm and his head was bowed low under his hood. The wind was vicious, and it was stinging his cheeks. He didn't even want to pull his hands out of his pockets to ring the doorbell. Instead, he chose to sort of push into it with the side of his shoulder and hope it rang.
