[It was kind of a pain finding a book that Donnie either hasn't read yet or has read and would want a copy of to reread, but he figured this works well enough given the whole multiverse situation. He's also working on a budget, since he doesn't have access to his Academy City bank account.

Not that he's mentioning any of that. Of course not. This being Accelerator, he's going to downplay any and all effort he put into finding the gift.]

Whatever. It's just a book.

[Donnie makes himself cozy, wedging himself into a corner of the couch before cracking open the book, making sure only his eyes are visible over it as he snaps a selfie to send over to Accelerator.]

Not -just- a book. There are literally billions of books in the world so even condensing a list of subjects and titles to choose from is in itself a feat. You could have just picked anything listed a best seller and called it a night.

[This is the sound of Accelerator hand smacking his forehead.]

Shit, you couldn't exaggerate any harder.

[purplexing]

Who's exaggerating! I was being completely serious.

[levelshift]

Then you're being fucking ridiculous.

[Can he just say 'You're welcome' and leave it at that? Oh god, why is gift-giving physically painful.]

Nevermind. It's yours now, I've got no right to say anything. I'm going to take a nap.

[Oh Accy. Donnie shakes his head as he reads the text. He takes a moment before his next/last response comes, but it's not even a text but a picture of a note he quickly pens.]

[Accelerator gets the pictures and just sighs. This is teasing, this has to be teasing.

(He is, however, kind of glad the book wasn't completely off the mark.)]
