even if she was doing it just to play, Anya likes hugs. and then she's... not getting one? there's a moment where that seems to click for her, that yukine is not returning her open gesture and stepping forward to give her a hug, and her expression falls in a mixture of confusion and disappointment.
she tilts her head and drops her arms a little bit]
Mm...?
[why is she like this]
Ah... Yes? [she's still trying to figure out why her arms are only open to the air!!] I think so...?
( you see, anya, not everyone is willing to rush into someone's open arms. even if they're really cute and welcoming because they have things like shame and boundaries. they're very important things that some people happen to lack, but yukine at least has enough to stop himself from rushing headfirst into his own embarrassment.
still not looking at her, he gestures for her to follow. )
Okay. You mind if we make a small stop before we get to your house?
but.... oh.... he's not even looking at her. that gets her arms to drop entirely as she clasps her fingers behind her back and then does a full body tilt to see if she can catch yukine's expression curiously...]
( wait, what? he turns around immediately at the question, twisting on his heel to look at her. he's actually not fully sure what to say to her. yukine really doesn't want her to get the wrong idea or anything. )
Uh. Do you. . . want a hug?
( probably does since she was extending her arms, but. . . come on. isn't she embarrassed to do stuff like that? )
( nope, okay. she just has no concept of embarrassment. that's probably fine, but he hope she knows when to reign it in because stuff like this exactly how someone ends up with sweaty creeps taking advantage of them. anya's far too nice to have to go through something like that.
rubbing the back of his neck nervously, he glances over her outstretched arms again. )
No, it's okay.
( then. . . closing the distance to wrap his arms around her shoulders. )
[And that's it, she's happy. Closing the distance between them is easy as she excitedly gives him that hug with a hum. It's warm and her heart is pleased, content knowing that it's not that Yukine doesn't like her enough to hug her. All is right in the world.
Without letting go, she peers up at him and gives him the greeting that she wanted to earlier before she was so thrown off:]
Mm, I hope Yukine's day at school was good? Забыл... ["Forgot."] I did not get to say so earlier. And I am happy that you want to come with me for dinner. Home will be warmer now.
( someone help him. this is the worst. pink colours his face as soon as she returns the hug with a delighted hum and he briefly regrets making this decision. is this really okay? is it—ah, shit. she's looking at him.
at his face.
which somehow gets a little darker now that he knows that she knows. )
( this couldn't possibly get any worse for him! why doesn't this girl understand that stuff like this is really hard to deal with!! or was it just that easy for her? it's almost depressing to think that she'd have such an easy time with this kind of thing while it's such a hardship for yukine.
Anya blinks in confusion before humming an odd, melodic little note, and then nodding. She pulls back when he suggests as much and then clasps her hands behind her back like a good girl. She'll behave. She wants to hold his hand, but she'll behave.]
Okay. [and then she'll start walking in the direction he suggested again - ] Where are we stopping?
Anya can't help but give him a fond smile at that, reaching out to hold onto his hand. The easiest way to turn her into a happy fluffball is to do nice things for her mama so.]
despite the obvious miscommunication regarding cake, yukine takes her inside the shop to purchase some cake to share and an extra piece for her mother for the sake of being an appreciative guest. thankfully, it doesn't take them long to get in and out—just like yukine had promised—and after their brief delay, they're well on their way towards anya's house. most of the trip so far has been yukine showing anya an assortment of photos he'd taken on his phone.
this one in particular is a fat calico cat. )
Okay, okay, see this one? This is the calico who lives somewhere in the neighbourhood. She's someone's pet, but she travels around anyway.
[she's been making varying cat noises at his phone with every new picture, just so you know. Sometimes it's nya, sometimes it's meow, sometimes it's whatever noise cats make in Russia and sometimes it's just Anya perfectly mimicking a purring sound.]
We are almost to my house - you will meet my cat! His name is Polaris.
( it's too cute! so cute. it's part of the reason why he can't stop showing her photos because he's enjoying every moment of this. how could he resist? it's impossible.
but he also perks up at the idea of meeting her own cat. )
That's a really cute name! What kind of cat is he?
Polaris is a white fluffy Ragdoll cat! He is like a warm and fuzzy snowball. [briefly, she interrupts what she's saying to make a soft purring noise. ] Mm, he is always good when Anya needs a cuddle.
[she's so happy.... but she can see her house in sight and her eyes sparkle when she notice. ]
Right now he is probably keeping company with one of my friends staying at the house. Yukine can meet them both!

Нет... No, Anya does not mind.
[ . . . . staaaaaaares.
and then:]
Does Yukine not like hugs? Or...
[do you not?? want to hug her specifically????
she likes to think she gives good hugs?]
no subject
Uh. Do you. . . want a hug?
( probably does since she was extending her arms, but. . . come on. isn't she embarrassed to do stuff like that? )
no subject
(in what universe does anya need to be more direct)
So she steps forward closer to him and opens her arms back out.]
Да. I do.
If Yukine does not mind....

at his face.
which somehow gets a little darker now that he knows that she knows. )
Uh.
( is the very elegant reply he offers her. )
no subject
Why is Yukine's face like that. He didn't seem embarrassed when he was first giving her the hug....? Hmmm.]
Mm? Are you okay?
[how can she notice so much and so little]
no subject

unfair even.
gently patting her on the back. )
It's fine, it's fine. We should go.

Okay. [and then she'll start walking in the direction he suggested again - ] Where are we stopping?
no subject
Oh! It's on the way to your house. It's really tiny shop that sells cakes? With a pink sign.
( then waving her down the sidewalk. it shouldn't take him but a second to grab some cakes for the both of them. )
no subject
[and it'll come up soon enough, though she hums in curiosity]
Do you want to eat cake? Dessert after dinner?
no subject
( just don't ask how he acquired the money for this. )
What kind of cake do you like?
no subject
[ . . . . but - ]
It does not have to be Yukine's treat? Pазделять.... We can share. Anya might get a cake for Mama too.
no subject
( casually but then he grins, almost proud. )
I'm coming over, so it's fair, right? We can get your mom one too!
( in the distance, the aforementioned pink sign can be seen. )
no subject
Anya can't help but give him a fond smile at that, reaching out to hold onto his hand. The easiest way to turn her into a happy fluffball is to do nice things for her mama so.]
Cпасибо... Thank you.
[followed by a little hum]
Next time Anya bakes, it will be lemon cake.
no subject
( waving his hand before catching her hand, gently pulling her towards the shop. he laughs a little at how immediately she says that. )
Okay, I'll be looking forward to it. Save me a slice, ok?
no subject
I will save Yukine the whole cake!
[that's what she meant]
no subject
( his cheeks darken just a little, but he makes a solid attempt at trying to ignore it. )
Then that's even better. I've never had anyone make a whole cake for me before.
no subject
she makes a note of this!]
No? Первый! Then Anya will be the first. Ah, I am happy about that.
