Birthday celebrations. He couldn't quite say he'd attended any that weren't for family members, and then, he wasn't the one in charge of buying gifts. Add Beth being the birthday girl to that, and he was a complete wreck. Obviously he couldn't show up empty-handed, but he had no idea whatsoever what girls liked to receive. It wasn't exactly his area of expertise...
... but something else was, so he thought he could work with that.
He was rather hesitant to intrude on her moment with Quinn as soon as he'd spotted the girls, so he awkwardly hung around a few meters away, a carefully wrapped box in his hands. He was purposely holding the box to have one certain side face outwards, to conceal the holes on the back that were there for a very good reason.
The goodies he'd made the previous night were tucked safely in his backpack, but those could wait till the box in his hands was delivered.
