[constellates]

you're being overdramatic now (*･▽･*) don't be silly
yuri can do anything he puts his mind to, even riding giant chickens

but ok! ☆(･ω･*)ゞ you can count on me
don't be too sour!
it's still valentine's day! try for more sweet?

[catsudon]

anya do not ever give me dating advice for a date i never asked for

[constellates]

I meant in general be sweet? oops (●´ω｀●)ゞ
I don't have the experience for dating advice either
maybe we can ask yuuko or kiyomitsu!

[why those two]

[catsudon]

why either of those people
what does Peacock even know about dating

[constellates]

yuuko is very lovely I think she would have good advice
she always warns me about boys so maybe she knows things? (?・・)
but kiyomitsu knows a lot! like evening dates are more romantic than evening dates
or what would be good to wear on a date
and things like that

[catsudon]

he's a fashion major
he has to know fashion it's his Thing
and even i know night dates are more romantic it's basically a big fat cue for "can i sleep with you"
movie > dinner > sex
which is supposed to be ideal or w/e
i don't know
people talk too much about their dating lives at dance studios

[1/3]

[constellates]

stop eavesdropping! (?・・)σ
who are you even listening to

[constellates]

[followed by a suddenly distressed string of]

WAIT

NO

｡ﾟ･（>﹏<）･ﾟ｡

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW

[constellates]

[and then a sad, defeated]

yuri why

[catsudon]

if you're asking me why people go on dates and have sex you need to ask literally anyone else

[constellates]

(〃＞＿＜;〃) stop stop stop
you know that's not what I'm asking!!
yuri why don't you believe in romance (๑･▱･๑)

[catsudon]

wait back up
are you saying romance means you don't have sex
potentially

( STAYING DERAILED BECAUSE THIS IS EASIER )

[constellates]

[why is he like this]

1. (・_・;) stop talking to me about sex
it's weird you're making it weird

2. if I answer your question will you answer mine (・・ ) ?

[catsudon]

what the hell is weird about sex
oh my god anya i
m
not

goodbye

( LASDKSJD GOOD WORK ANYA YOU GOT HIM TO LEAVE THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION BY SAYING HE WAS MAKING SEX WEIRD he don't got time for this princess, sex is normal, people have it, he has heard way too much about this, THIS IS FINE )

fuck we're keeping this crazy train going

[constellates]

uh huh (?・・)σ see you later

[NO, YURI WAS MAKING THEIR FRIENDSHIP WEIRD

but she'll just stare down this text message string

and laugh

because he totally made it weird and then ran

honestly chalk it up as a victory for her but also considering the fact that she had to talk about sex with one of her closest friends is it really

is it really



DECIDEDLY NOT REALLY BECAUSE she mostly forgot about it over the course of her day to be honest, but it's when she's in line getting Yuri's drink that she remembers the note that their conversation ended on

oh boy

which is why Anya's showing up at the ice rink and bringing along her own cup of whatever surprise the barista gave her when she asked along with coffee for Yuri - something peppermint - and then setting it down in front of him]

Happy Valentine's Day! [said one single person to the other, BUT SHE MOVES ON] You know I forgot that you don't have a lot of experience with friends?

So maybe we should clarify something.

[SHE'S BRINGING IT BACK]

i'm already dead NOW IM DYING MORE

[catsudon]

( setting it down in front of him because he's currently wearing Comet, the head off and to the side as he sits down and adjusts his "skates" with his flipperhands. he feels like doom is dawning when he looks up, sees Anya, sees the peppermint whatever it is that's probably way too sweet, and she brings up his inexperience.

(with friends.)

does he remember the awkward encounter from earlier? yes. actually no. he's really just deleted that from memory. but he almost remembers, because Anya had managed to make it weird, and now he's looking up at her and trying not to frown, sitting up and then standing, by reflex, to make himself taller.

with the "skates," that means he's got three inches more than normal. #smallvictories )

... About what.

[constellates]

[there is no way that she's the one who made it weird

(teenagers)

but wow Yuri's also actually taller than her right now, even with her heels, and she's kinda pouting about it? Why! Guess who's going to be mopey when he hits his last growth spurt. Anyway she's just going to shake her head and you know, it was weird over text. It's still weird to bring up in person.

And yet.

Forever direct Anya here she is]

We were talking about sex for some reason?

[hopefully no one needs skates or anything from comet]

[catsudon]

( and then it was valentines day and yuri plisetsky is being asked by one of his two best friends about sex and it is weird because she made it weird and he is going red in the face and blurts out: )

Anya! We were talking about dating and romance and sex is part of that too, do we have to talk about this here, I'm at work!

[constellates]

[well if she's going to be honest]

Mm? No one else is here.

[in the immediate vicinity anyway?? Yuri eavesdrops apparently, he should be able to tell the difference.]

Obviously it wouldn't be good to talk about when Jade and Dave arrive. It might make them feel awkward.

[IT MIGHT MAKE THEM FEEL AWKWARD]

Weren't you the one who brought it up to me in the first place?

[can you believe yuri plisetsky is running away from a topic that he threw down]

[catsudon]

( fact: there are people here.

also a fact: no, not in this front area, because they're all on the ice. it's valentines. there are many couples here all being schmoopy at each other and asking for photo ops with Comet, which he hates, but deals with because he's literally paid to do so.

he is not literally paid to deal with this, but being called out has him gritting his teeth and narrowing his eyes... he can't shove his flippers into his pants pockets. he settles on shoving them into the pockets of Comet's universe spangled jacket. he can do nothing about the fact he's blushing.

but boy, this is not comfortable. it's embarrassing, it's making him irritable, and honestly he's feeling pretty attacked right now? wow. )

I just agreed that dinner dates are considered more romantic!

[constellates]

[can you believe that yuri came out here to have a good time is honestly feeling so attacked right now

meanwhile Anya's going to go ahead and just sip onto her own warm beverage as she listens to him. and then tilt her head in confusion because now she feels like she's misunderstanding something]

Mm? But you also said....

[that those dates lead to sex? and then something something, asking if sex and romance aren't meant to be intertwined and listen Anya doesn't believe that either and she was going to tell him so except he totally dipped from that text conversation

? ?

????

at least she's gotten better at watching him and being mindful of when she's treading thin ice with that temper so she hums]

Should we talk about it later? I'd just thought that now was as good a time as any...

[catsudon]

( bluntly: )

To talk about sex.

( he's giving her a pained look. wearing a orca mascot body and giving her a pained look with his hair all pulled back in a sloppy bun. )

[constellates]

Bingo!

[and she's perfectly ok with this for some reason, humming happily. sure, he opened the door after she was trying to close it and now this is where she's just gonna go for it apparently]

Or... talking about talking about sex? Ah - Dave and I haven't talked about it before. That's what I found odd.

[he made it weird]

[catsudon]

( what. he does look actually surprised; he stops frowning, for one, looking puzzled instead. )

... Why not?

( what he finds weird is the fact they haven't. don't friends talk about everything? sex is part of life, neither of them are like, twelve, and he knew twelve year olds who were ... okay, he's just going to accept that he's been around enough people to hear enough snippets about their lives as to have no illusions to the role of sex in the world around them. he also doesn't care; he simply accepts that it's there. )

[constellates]

[ . . . . ah, Yuri.

This is where Anya thought he might be getting tripped up. Or maybe Anya's the one tripped up, if she's really willing to open her mind to it - and like most things, she is. So she hums.]

It hasn't come up. He only recently started dating Jade, even though they've been dancing around for years. I never talked to her about it either. I don't know if... anyone's talked to me about it?

[this might be because they're trying to keep her pure and she doesn't realize]

It seems like a very intimate thing to talk about.
