psl || feeling alive all over again
[Coming home is a big deal to Anya.
She trains all over the world - it's part of keeping competitive, her mama tells her - but she misses things about Russia. She misses the starry skies, the constellations, the food, the people, not to mention time with her family. No matter how often she's away for things that she knows are important for her career, it never eases the ache in her heart for what's familiar back home.
But winter is a great time to come back. Just in time for the big New Year's celebrations that light up the city. Just in time to learn new recipes from her grandma that she can take back home.
Just in time to see one of her favorite people.
She's already been back for a few days - spending some time in St. Petersburg before she travels to go see her mama and papa - but she extended her stay just a little bit more once she found out that Yuri would be flying in soon.]
yura !!! (*´ω｀*)
remind me when your flight is coming in ??
(*´∇｀*) I will meet you at the airport !

and then he gets a text from anya, and suddenly, he's smiling.
months of doing idol work has been taxing, and while yuri's still tired and cranky as ever (he had a yuri's angels fanmeet just the other morning), he's still enthusiastic about getting to see her again. ]
in around 3 hours from now
my old man's picking me up if you're too far away to meet me there.
no subject
no I want to see him too if that is ok
anya is staying at a hotel before seeing mama and papa
I wanted to see you again while we're both in the country ヽ(*＾ω＾*)ﾉ♥
[it occurs to her for a moment that the heart might be too much
but she's been playing with Yuri for years - he probably won't think any more of it - and hits send]
no subject
say hi to your parents for me, too
i'm boarding in ten minutes so obviously i won't be able to text back. just throwing that out there
[ he doesn't think anything of it, thankfully? he's gotten hearts from anya before. this doesn't strike him as anything unusual. ]
[1/2]
anya hums to herself - entertains the thought of being more forward (is that possible?) - before reminding herself that there's no point in something that she doesn't see going anywhere
these feelings will have to go away eventually, right?]
an extra ten minutes without talking to yura ?! ( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : )
sad !
no subject
just kidding
have a good flight ~ヾ(・ω・)
text me when you land please (´• ω •`)
no subject
...the fact that that even crosses his mind is a little scary, because yuri's still in denial about his true feelings. as an idol, dating would be a distraction and bad for PR, especially when there are already so many girls (and guys) going after him.
but. reciprocating. there's no problem with that every now and then, is there? ]
ok
ヾ(・ω・)
[ yurio using an emoji what ]
no subject
the last yuri gets before he actually boards is teasing, anya not at all hesitating since she recognizes that it's a little out of character - ]
(＃￣ω￣) excuse me
whoever took yura's phone from him ??
please give it back
you will hurt his cool idol image
[do you ever think that Anya has too much fun
but admittedly she has 3 hours to kill while he's flying - taking time to dig up his grandpa's phone number and give him a quick call to also make a promise to meet him at the airport only takes up like 30 minutes of that. making a sign with cat doodles and his name written in English, Russian, and Japanese to greet yuri when he makes it to the airport is also only another 20 minutes. she spends a bit more time wandering the city, sunglasses on and hood up to avoid drawing too much attention to medal-winning figure skater Anastasia visiting St. Petersburg for vacation but
just because he's not responding doesn't mind that she isn't chatting
so when he turns off airplane mode, there comes the notifications]
10/10 (≧◡≦) perfect cat perfect toast
someone sent anya flowers ?
fans are so fast at finding out where i am (｡- ω -)
!! look look
a cute nya (＾• ω •＾) cooold !
i hope yura packed warm
[the messages come spaced out - in between her making new friends and just getting distracted wandering the city - but she might be a little excited to see him]
no subject
it adds to my appeal if i do it at the right time • ω •
[ is he trolling
maybe
in any case, time to board. that's the last text anya gets before he switches to airplane mode and the plane takes off. he spends his time on the plane reviewing his choreography--he has a concert with the rest of the band as soon as he gets back--earbuds in, tuning out the rest of the world as he sits with his leg propped up on his seat like the real improper boy he is.
of course, he's not expecting a plethora of messages and images to pop up on his phone by the time the plane starts to land and he switches his phone back to normal.
of course he's smiling to himself again, even as he gets off of the plane and moves to baggage claim. ]
an inbread cat
of course i'm warm.
i haven't been gone from russia for THAT long.
[ shit tho
he's going to buy her flowers. he's gonna do it. there's a flower shop in this airport isn't there ]
no subject
yura thinks I'm cute? (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)
[a menace.
but she'll let him live. even if she is blushing ever so faintly, she denies it when yuri's grandpa asks her about it from where he's standing next to her. but she also confirms with him that yes, their ice tiger managed to land back in mother russia]
we are waiting for you at baggage !
do not be long please ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ
no subject
don't put words in my mouth -_-
[ tsuning so hard. hopefully she knows that and doesn't take it to heart........
anyway. yuri grabs his suitcase after a couple of minutes of waiting--the perks of being a first-class passenger--and then promptly searches for anya and his grandpa. he runs over to them as soon as he sees them, waving excitedly. ]
Grandpa! Anya!
no subject
anya's image is more closely cultivated to fit her snowy, icy aesthetic - especially in america where her distinct levels of Foreigner are increased by her accent and appearance - so by default she doesn't think she's very cute.... she reads his message over and hums a nonchalant note. well. confirmation would probably be too much to expect.
(teenagers.)
still though she perks up as she hears his voice, distracted from the conversation she was making with yuri's grandpa, to instead jolt up with her customized sign for him in her hands, his name scribbled all over it.]
Yura is home...!
[but also grandpa gets first hug dibs and that's a Fact, so she doesn't mind having her hands full for the time being]
no subject
Aah, I forgot I forgot!
[ DON'T DIE GRAMPS. anyway, onto anya--
...is that a sign. that is, indeed, a sign. and yuri turns a light pink. it's cute.......and all the cats, oh my god. he sort of gets woobly at the cats but them promptly goes back to tsun mode, and then...
hello anya, suddenly, there's a bouquet of white roses in your face. literally in your face. ]
Take it. Take it!
no subject
and she blinks. old memories of flower language flit through her head as she thinks of meanings - purity, innocent, true love, weddings - and then
tosses those ideas right out as she giggles, her expression softening into fondness even with his roughness and she'll put down the sign to take the flowers, then trading them for the heat pack]
Thank you. Here - for grandpa.
[and she's happy to lean her face closer to the flowers, smelling them happily. she gets flowers often but she likes getting them more from yuri. she glances back up at him and smiles.]
And then you owe me a hug, I think.
no subject
he's glad she likes them.
but a hug? a hug. well, it's not like he hasn't hugged anya before, but it feels...different, if he does it now.
still, he doesn't want to hurt her feelings. so he hugs her, trying to block out his feelings but ultimately failing. yuri has no idea what he's doing. ]
no subject
… and it’s not like she looked into it after she realized that her increased heart rate and flushed face and jumping at every text came from a crush or anything.
Still, she takes the opportunities she can, including the chance to bury her face in his shoulder with a melodic little hum as she wraps her arms around him as easy as breathing.]
Welcome home, Yuratchka…!
no subject
[ a sound of approval--thank you. as anya knows, yuri isn't the greatest at showing gratitude. (they're working on it.) so when he does with little gestures, little sounds, it means something, even as he slowly lets go and puts his hands back in his pockets.
(her hair smells really nice.)
wait. the fact he even thought that scares him--he shuffles his feet a bit, hitching the strap of his duffle bag over his shoulder again. grandpa calls them over to the car out front, and yuri follows. ]
We're going to my old man's place, if you wanted to stop by.
no subject
Especially if he's not paying attention?
Anyway.]
Mm? Really? It's okay if you wanted to spend more time with your grandpa - I wouldn't mean to intrude...
[but also yes she wants to, she can't deny that]
no subject
[ ah.
he is definitely not paying attention, busy situating his luggage as anya sneaks a flower into his hair. he actually does not notice, up until his grandpa starts smiling at him suspiciously. ]
What? Is there something on my face?
[ and then yuri pulls out his phone and uses his camera, the perfect mirror really, to check his reflection. perhaps some sauce from the airplane food-- ]
Haaah?! Nastenka-!!
[ ANYA... ]
no subject
Mm? Yes?
[and she's giggling, pleased as can be. unfortunately. but when Yuri speak to her with the full diminutive name like that, how can she be anything but full of warmth and pleased with herself? even though his tone is less than approving....
so maybe she gets a little bit enjoyment out of playing with him like this]
how did i miss this notif
anya.
he takes the flower out of his hair and throws it inside of the car--not on the ground, at least--angrily, stomping over to the passenger's seat. he's all huffy now, slouching in his seat and folding his arms across his chest.
typical yuri, honestly.
at least grandpa's opening the back door for anya! ]
LMFAO you're fine
but she's startling when he just throws the flower?? oh...... anya gives her thanks to grandpa - manages an apologetic smile even as he's still laughing, so at least he's not mad at her - but then she'll sit in the backseat and
peer around it to glance over to Yuri
softly, while grandpa is still putting bags in the back:]
Yuratchka...?
[the pet name for a ) when it's just the two of them or b ) when she's especially emotional but
paired with sad kitten left in the rain eyes]
You are mad at Anya?
no subject
he's buckling up when anya calls his name. yuri stops, holding the flower in his hand out of sight, only briefly turning his head to be met with sad kitten eyes.
he's weak. ]
...What do you think?
[ he's too stubborn to admit he's embarrassed but also not feeling mean enough to pretend he's pissed, so.
there. ]
no subject
[sheepishly - she'll admit it as her fault and she doesn't ever want Yuri to feel anything besides happy. so she hums and adds softly:]
I wanted us to match, but maybe next time in a better way.
[a soft little laugh]
Anya will buy leopard print maybe.
[though with that attempt at a truce, grandpa comes back in the car and Anya is back to being an obedient good girl, buckling in and just going along for the ride]
HEEEERE
[ he rolls his eyes, but yuri is a softie. mostly when it comes to anya. so.
when she's not looking, he puts the flower back in his hair, right where she left it.
she can see it from where she's sitting, at least, even if he doesn't say anything about it. his grandfather smiles knowingly as he gets starts the car up and drives. yuri spends a majority of the ride telling grandpa (and anya, if she's listening) stories about japan, about being an idol, about his bandmates. things that he's carried back from his second home through the language barriers. ]
no subject
When he puts the flower back in his hair, she feels something warm and pleased and almost smug blossom in her chest, but doesn't say anything otherwise. Instead, she's happy to listen to his stories, making little noises from the backseat to let him know that she's following along.]
So busy, Yura... But it makes my heart happy to know that you are having fun.
