[Asch is nothing if not another kind of perfectionist, so the box is wrapped carefully in paper and tied with string. Underneath it's... wrapped again in red foil and a perfect golden bow. By the size and weight it's some kind of very small jewelry box.
There is also a small envelope and card written in elegant flourish:]
Zelos,
We haven't known each other very long so I'm not sure what to write here.
Ruby is commonly associated with passion, nobility, and protection. These rubies aren't magical, though, so don't try anything.
I'm not sure if the trend is to wear one or two, [Is it one earring if you're gay and two if you're bisexual? He may have stood there for twenty minutes trying to google this,] so I got you both.
Happy birthday.
Asch
[Beside this gift and envelope, there is also a delicate melon chiffon cake under a glass cover.]
[Just like with Luke's, it's easy for Zelos to deduce which sibling this one came from. The absolute perfectionism of it all is a dead giveaway before he even fully reads the note. He's grinning as he reads it. The earrings are definitely going to get worn.
He'll send a message out to his brother]
Hey Asch! Thanks for the earrings! They look great on me, so I'll be sure to wear them lots! On both ears!
Oh and thanks for the cake too! You even remembered my love of melon! You're a great little bro, you know?

Inside, resting on plush velvet, is a set of dangling ruby earrings.

However, he doesn't know how to feel about being called a 'great little brother'.]
You're welcome. As for the cake, it isn't hard to learn what people like to eat. You just have to pay attention.
... I don't think I'm a good brother, but I want to be.
So, as long as you and Belle want me, I'll stay.
