[ Christmas morning, Gus will have found a small canvas propped up by his bedroom window. It's a portrait of him and it's pretty damn well done. Santa wuz here. ]
[Gus celebrates the holiday though it's usually only the religious aspect. His family hadn't had the money to really get each other presents. This year had been different because not only is he not back in New York but he has a job that pays him more than he needs to live. Seeing the wonderful drawing makes him gently pull at a box he'd hidden under his nightstand.
He pushes himself to his feet, not bothering to put on pants or a shirt and steps lightly down the hall towards Dutch's room. He doesn't know if she's still here but he slips a small box beneath the door before retreating back to his room.
When she opens it she'll find a beautiful necklace that has a ruby at its center and diamonds circling it. Gus might never confess how much he cares about her but he had spared no expense in his gift.]
