[On December 25th, Doppio will find a package neatly wrapped in the most disgustingly cheerful gift wrap on the market on his doorstep. How did his secret Santa find out where he lived? Who knows! Definitely not through surreptitious following or anything like that!

Inside is a small ceramic teapot and an assortment of loose leaf teas, along with instructions on best measurements and steeping times. With it is a note that reads 'Here's hoping this will keep you warm throughout the winter and afterwards. Happy holidays!'

And because Shen Qingqiu is a practical man, there's also a receipt tucked into the box just in case Doppio isn't a tea guy.]

[Oh. Oh, wow. He was so annoyed stressed out preoccupied with his own Secret Santa obligations that he completely forget that meant he'd be getting something too!

He usually goes for coffee over tea, but... this might be nice, too. Not to keep warm, since he doesn't need that very much anymore, but just, you know, to taste.

Huh. Maybe he should have gone for something simple like this, himself...]
