[ look at least he KNOWS IT'S IMPOSSIBLE......
he'll be at her house a little earlier than half an hour, though he spends a few minutes rehearsing in front of the door before he rings her bell. fidgeting with his neatly wrapped gift and hoping for the best... maybe his gift was too practical? maybe he should have gone with something nicer—
AH, THE DOOR. ]
Merry Christmas! Um, belatedly!
[ smooth, tsukasa. real fuckin' smooth greeting there. ]

[Bless Anya's utterly blunt personality, honestly, especially because Yasusada's just as bad...
He also doesn't even realize he never mentioned Kashuu or their new relationship, because he's an oblivious moron.]
Well, yes, that's true... but do you think I have to give it to him some special way? Like... hide it under his pillow? Or drop it down a chimney or something? [what]

[ Ahh, her hand... He takes it, stomach fluttering, and follows her in. What a lovely house ♪ a shame they're not going to be staying long, since he does have somewhere to bring her... but he doesn't mind being here for a bit. ]
Thank you... Ah, your gift's— [ here, obviously. shiny gold wrapping paper and everything. ] If you don't like it, then you can always return it, or something... But I really think it'll suit you?
[ he hopes it will!? ...for the record, it's a bright red scarf (because that's christmassy) with snowflakes on it, and a pair of mittens to match. very practical and safe and he heavily considered a necklace but thought that was a little Much. ]

[ he's gonna die from this much sincerity, but he should at least unwrap her gift first!! carefully, carefully, 'cause he's that kid who doesn't rip the paper—
oh. he takes it out really carefully too, like it might break if he looks at it wrong? horse carousel... and the song, when he finds the key and winds it up, is so cute... he watches it spin for a little bit quietly, then carefully sets it down and reaches for her hands without hesitation. ]
Thank you, Anya. Um... [ ...what did she just say? Spa... ] Spasiba.
[ he just wanted to try saying it. ]
I love it too— it's really cute. [ and he misses horses, so this is nice. ] ...This is just part one of your present. Um, I don't have a lot more planned—just one more thing, really?—but... Yeah. I wanted to do something extra special for you, since you let me do something really spectacular recently.
[ The live, he means. He doesn't know if that's for him? Any of it? but he had fun. a lot of fun, actually. ]

Oh, you're right! That makes sense.
[And is possibly the only thing that makes sense about any of this?? But moving on... he's just gonna hum thoughtfully as he carefully works a flower around the wire.] What would you like best, An-chan? If someone was going to give you a gift.

Of course! You're my preferred choice!
[ Because he loves her, but also because he trusts no other boys. NONE ]
I'm glad you're so honest with your feelings, Anya. I gave Yuki a little peck to help him with his bats earlier, but he only punched me for the trouble.

I want to. [ let him make this very clear!! with a little squeeze of her hands. gotta hold onto this courage while it lasts. ] Please, Anya? Allow me to treat you, just for today.
[It had been Anya's idea to start - hit the gym, make Zoro proud by the time he wakes up - and nervousness aside, Sakura thinks it's a fine way to pay the man back for his kindness and stoic goodwill. A good way to pass the time instead of fretting with the phone set in her lap, wondering if she should call the hospital about visiting hours.
The only way she's gonna be able to focus her energy into some semblance of work. Hence why she's outside the gym, waiting to meet a girl she's barely talked to, dressed lightweight and in clothes easy to sweat in.
Though once she spots Anya approaching, Sakura chances a wave - shy at first, but then with growing enthusiasm upon recognizing the face]
Anya-san, right?

I guess it could've been.
[ It was. Eijun is cute when he blushes. ]
Thanks, Anya.
He told me he talked to you and that was when he started figuring things out.

[It's not an eloquent description, but it doesn't have to be. Yasusada nods slowly, turning over her answer in his mind.]
So it's most important to spend time together? [He can understand that. Especially for someone as busy as Anya; he can't help letting a small smile cross his face, at that thought.] It's very special now, right? Since An-chan has idol things to do all the time.
