[ 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. ]
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.
[Nope, she's got no issue with that. There's a little shake of her head and a smile.]
Not at all. More time to spend together?
[She loves friendship.
She'll get... a better idea of where they're going the longer they walk and the more they head in that direction, but some revelations should be left for later.]
Then dress warmly. Do you mind if I leave this here...? [ The gift she got him, he means; he lifts it a little for emphasis. ] I'll be walking you home, of course, so I'll just retrieve in then.
[She looks amused and fond at that - it's very sweet. Regardless she'll nod her head.]
You can leave it. Mama will not be home for a little so... [it's okay to leave some things lying around without worrying about it.] Подождите, пожалуйста. Wait just a little please. Anya will get a jacket?
[One to match the scarf! And the mittens! Because of course she's going to be wearing both right away?]
But regardless she'll join him in a little bit, all bundled up and ready to go. He's bouncing on his heels and she's laughing, immediately moving to link up arms with him because that's obviously the best way to walk in the snow.]
[ OH— oh, yes, definitely, he'll accept this arm linkage, he's perfectly fine with this...!!
And to the skating rink! He has memorized the way, because he feels like looking at your phone to make sure you're going the right way is really lame— ]
Would you say you have good balance, Anya...?
[ Just. Curious. If not, she can always hold onto him ♪ (i'm crying as i type this tsukasa's crush is so bad) ]
[Look, there are a couple of other things in that direction. Anya might not pick up right away that that's where they're going? But she'll keep walking along with him and hum softly at the question.]
Oh, well, um... I don't have really excellent balance or anything like that, but I've been working on it, so I was wondering if you were the same. [ THAT SOUNDS SO BELIEVABLE... ] And... we're going somewhere that favors those who can stay on their feet.
[ he doesn't want to give away the surprise but maaaybe she'll think it's about something else. ]
[ - but that's not a dance hall or a studio or anything of the sort. Anya blinks once, twice, and it takes a moment for her to even respond as she realizes that they're back at the ice rink. Her hand in his tenses just a little bit.]
[Oops - she gives him a sheepish smile automatically.]
Ah...
[she didn't mean to derail his plans. there's a shake of her head and - it's not that she doesn't like ice skating. far from it, actually. but it's just that the memories are still a bit...
muddled.]
Нет... No, we can go, if that is what you want...
[though as they enter, she'll end up making eye contact with one of the workers and waving in a friendly, familiar way. simple to say that she's not exactly a stranger to this place.]
[ ah, she's a familiar face to them... there goes his hopes of showing off a little to her, he guesses. it isn't like his practicing went that well anyway.
tsukasa gives them a polite smile, hand leaving anya's so he can conduct Business. and once they have their skates-- ]
You're on pretty good terms with the people here, huh?
[mmmMMMM YUP. sh hums softly when he asks, lacing up her skates familiarly too. she didn't spend a lot of time on the ice comparatively, but she does know what she's doing more than a beginner.]
Ah... Yuratchka used to work here.
[and aS MUCH AS SHE'D LIKE TO HIDE IT, there's no hiding the way that her voice gets a bit softer. fonder.]
Рабочий... He was a worker? So I would visit when we did not have dance practice. [and she gives tsukasa a sheepish smile] I do not know if Tsukasa knew him?
[ . . . despite everything, she ends up giggling - ]
... Not very!
[THAT YURI PLISETSKY, YOU KNOW.]
Ah... on the inside, very much. Замечательно... He is very wonderful, very warm. But to other people he did not know very well... [she shakes her head] He did not need very many friends, he said.
Maybe it is better that you and Yuratchka did not meet when he was in the city. I would have to tell him to be nicer....
he's happy-- and then he's mad at himself. anya's obviously fond of him, obviously was friends (maybe more), and it must suck for him not to be around anymore. it must really, really suck, and he shouldn't feel so happy about that?
he shouldn't. it's a moment before he speaks, but she's getting treated to a small grin and a confident tone. ]
I dealt with Sena-senpai during the live pretty well... I think I'd be able to handle a little attitude. [ he thinks. maybe. he fidgets with his laces a bit, tightening them more and more. thinking.
...does he want to know? ] Were you two close?
[ he doesn't want to know, but here he is. asking anyway. ]

this delights her so much?? she's right at attention and holding onto his hands too because this is such a wonderful thing to share between friends.
when he explains that there's more planned - she does tilt her head in confusion. but??? everything is already so cute??]
Дополнительные? More...?
You do not have to?
[in case he feels like he was obligated?]
no subject
no subject
Mm, then if you are sure... Okay.
[she'll leave it all in his hands today and try not to feel too bad about it]
no subject
It'll be fun, I promise. [ as if that's what she's worried about. ] As long as you don't mind a bit of a walk...?
[ ...vague idea of residential areas and the rink is in tisse so. ]

Of course. When you're ready, then.
[ He's just gonna. Wait by the door for her, bouncing on his heels. He's going on a date with Anya...~! She accepted it! Ah, today's so great~~~~! ]
no subject
But regardless she'll join him in a little bit, all bundled up and ready to go. He's bouncing on his heels and she's laughing, immediately moving to link up arms with him because that's obviously the best way to walk in the snow.]

[where are they even going]
no subject

From ballet - I had to learn. Зачем? Why?

[ he doesn't want to give away the surprise but maaaybe she'll think it's about something else. ]
no subject
Танцы? Are we going dancing again?
[they had a stumble last time that doesn't matter]
no subject
Something like that. [ SOMETHING LIKE THAT it involves a lot of handholding maybe so ♪ ] Is that okay?
no subject
Да! [she seems okay with it???] I would be happy to dance with you again.
[now isn't it a shame that they're finally approaching the ice skating rink]
no subject
but there it is, tsukasa's smiling wider and walking a liiittle faster ]
I'm happy to hear that, Anya...~ We're here, though.
[ c: a small gesture to the rink ]
I'll pay for everything, so don't worry about that, okay?
no subject
Ah—
We are... going ice skating?
[that's not dancing, tsukasa!!!!]
no subject
he pauses at her tensing though, head tilting slightly and his smile slipping. ]
...That was the idea... [ um. ] If you don't want to, then we could do something else...?
