Mick looks like some mix of shy and uncertain, suddenly, himself and it does nothing for the fluttering in Leonard's stomach because it's just cute. And that isn't even really a word he uses in any direction but Lisa's, but it's true.
"So...yes?" He wants--needs--the confirmation. But despite himself, a genuine smile twitches across his face. "It's perfect."
But he is suddenly acutely aware of the fact that he hadn't even thought to get Mick anything because he didn't think that they were that kind of-- well, couple is weird...partnership? Whatever. He's standing on awkward ground now, even though he knows without even an ounce of doubt, Mick didn't do this to get something in return. Because despite what most people may assume, or see in him, Mick's not that selfish. Not with the people he cares about, at any rate.
He doesn't bring it up, though, because he can already play out in his head how that conversation would go. He'll just file it away and randomly, some day when they have both forgotten the awkward stiffness of this second, he'll get something for Mick. Just because, and secretly in a way to make up for this, even if Mick would never know.
